The demands placed on land, water, energy and other natural resources are exacerbated as the world population continues to increase together with the expectations of economic growth. This, combined with concerns over environmental change, presents a set of scientific, policy and management issues that are critical for sustainability.
Resource Accounting for Sustainability Assessment: The nexus between energy, food, water and land use offers an approach for multi-scale, integrated assessment of this nexus. It presents a comprehensive and original method of resource accounting for integrated sustainability assessments. The approach is illustrated with three detailed case studies: the islands of Mauritius, the Indian state of Punjab, and the energy economy of South Africa. The relationships between flows of goods, services and materials in these case studies offer valuable insights. The book provides a much needed quality control on the information used in deliberative processes about policy and planning activities.
This innovative book will be of interest to researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of sustainability science, international development, industrial ecology, sustainable resource management, geography and ecological economics.

ADAC GT Masters in Most (CZ) - SECOND SEASON VICTORY: CALLAWAY COMPETITION SUCCESSFUL IN MOST
Callaway duo Markus Pommer and Marvin Kirchhöfer won the Sunday race at the second round of the ADAC GT Masters' Autodrom Most (CZ) weekend after a difficult and unlucky Saturday. It was the second victory for Callaway Competition in the 2019 season.
Following the successful opening weekend in Oschersleben, Callaway Competition and its two drivers Markus Pommer (28 / Neckarsulm) and Marvin Kirchhöfer (25 / Lucerne) stepped it up a notch at Autodrom Most last weekend (May 17-19). With Sunday's second win of the season on Sunday afternoon, the Corvette team collected 25 important points, while they were denied the day before.
The free practice on Friday suggested what was expected with the #77 Corvette C7 GT3-R on the course near the German border: Pommer and Kirchhöfer drove the best time in the second round of the day.
In qualifying for the Saturday race, Markus Pommer was able to secure his tenth starting position in the tight field - 24 vehicles within one second. Not an optimal position, as it turned out right after the start in the first chicane. Pommer, who took the wheel at the start, got into a collision through no fault of his own and had to get back on track through the gravel bed.
A blessing in disguise. The Corvette lost only two positions with Pommer at the wheel, which he could win back at the driver change.
During the mandatory pit stop and the driver change there was a misunderstanding and Marvin Kirchhöfer crossed the line at the end of the pit lane too early. As a result, the race director ordered a drive-through the pit lane penalty. This destroyed any promise of series points. In the end, the #77 Corvette crossed the finish line in 21st place.
A prompt response on Sunday. In an exciting qualifying afternoon session for the second race, in which Kirchhöfer made every effort to use every millimeter of the track, the Callaway Corvette jumped out in second place in the starting row. What followed was a perfect Sunday.
Kirchhöfer was able to take the lead with an impressive start as soon as the first chicane and comfortably extended it until the driver change to colleague Pommer. At the pit stop, everything went smoothly this time and Pommer secured the second victory of the season, three seconds ahead of the two Lamborghini drivers, Ineichen and Perera, and safely reached the finish line.
The podium was also attended by the two brand colleagues, David Jahn (28 / Leipzig) and Sven Barth (38 / Eberbach, both RWT Racing), who finished third in the second Corvette in the starting field.
The ADAC GT Masters series continues in June with the third race of the 2019 season at the Red Bull Ring.
"All in all, we had a good weekend. We got off to a great start to the weekend and with two wins in the first four races, I can live with that very well. We knew that we would be very fast in Most, but you also saw how tight the field was. It was important that, after the unfortunate events on Saturday, we had an answer directly. The Team did a great job." Marvin Kirchhöfer (25 / Lucerne)
"On Saturday, we had a lot of tough luck, but everything went according to plan on Sunday. Qualifying was already very good: the basic prerequisite for the victory. Marvin took the lead right at the start. Then it got exciting again when, because of the mid-race interruption, our advantage was gone. But we had a good strategy. Then I was able to win the race." Markus Pommer (28 / Heilbronn)
"Sunday's victory was important to the team and the right answer to a messed-up Saturday race that didn't yield any points. You can't afford any mistakes in this field and on Saturday we just made too many. During practice sessions on Thursday and Friday we had problems with tires, which we got completely under control until the races, this was certainly the key to the good race pace. Every year, we must try to maximize point production in the first half of the season, as the tracks in the second half of the season largely accommodate other racecar designs. Since our vehicle is unchanged compared to last year, this will also be the case in 2019. Because of the aerodynamic updates of other manufacturers, this trend seems even more pronounced in 2019."

Career fire fighter dies of carbon monoxide poisoning after becoming lost while searching for the seat of a fire in warehouse - New York.
Frederick L
Morgantown, WV: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, FACE F2004-04, 2005 Mar; :1-16
On December 16, 2003, a 30-year-old male fire fighter (the victim) died after he became separated from his crew members while searching for the seat of a fire at a furniture warehouse. His crew exited due to worsening conditions and a missing member announcement was made. At one point while inside the warehouse, members of an engine crew thought they heard a scream but could not identify the source. After an evacuation order was given and as engine crew members were exiting, the victim's officer mistakenly identified one of them as the missing member and cancelled the emergency message. Once fire fighters had exited, a personnel accountability report (PAR) was taken on the street which revealed that the victim was still missing. The victim's officer initiated a second emergency message for a missing member and a search was begun. The victim, who had a working radio, was found lying face down with his face piece removed and 900 psi left in his self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). His Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) alarm was reported by fire fighters to be inaudible. His carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level was 74.8% in the emergency room. NIOSH investigators concluded that to minimize the risk of similar occurrences, fire departments should: 1. ensure that pre-incident planning is performed on commercial structures; 2. ensure that Incident Commanders (ICs) conduct a risk-versus-gain analysis prior to committing fire fighters to an interior operation, and continue to assess risk-versus-gain throughout the operation; 3. use guidelines/ropes securely attached to permanent objects and/or a bright, narrow-beamed light at all entry portals to a structure to guide fire fighters during emergency egress; 4. instruct fire fighters on the hazards of exposure to products of combustion such as carbon monoxide (CO) and warn them never to remove their face piece in areas in which such products are likely to exist; 5. ensure that team continuity is maintained during fire suppression operations; 6. train fire fighters on proper radio discipline and operation, and on when and how to initiate emergency traffic when in distress; 7. train fire fighters on actions to take while waiting to be rescued if they become lost or trapped inside a structure; 8. ensure that accountability is maintained on the fire ground; and, 9. establish a system to facilitate the reporting of unsafe conditions or code violations observed by fire fighters during fire suppression activities. In addition, manufacturers, researchers, and standard setting bodies should investigate the performance of PASS devices/alarms under extreme conditions such as those encountered in structural fires. Manufacturers and researchers should: 1. continue to refine existing and develop new technology to track and locate lost fire fighters on the fireground; and, 2. continue to develop and refine durable, easy-to-use systems to enhance verbal and radio communication in conjunction with properly worn SCBA. Additionally, fire prevention personnel should enforce current building codes to improve the safety of occupants and fire.

Q: How to create PPTP VPN connection in ios Programmatically? I want to create a pptp Vpn connection programmatically in Ios 8. I followed this link. By the help of this link i am able to create an IPSec Vpn connection in ios.
But i need to create a pptp vpn connection if any one know about it then please help me how to do it i am very stuck in it.

A: As far as I know, there is no pptp api support in iOS (currently 9.3.4). The only supported protocols are

*

*IKEv1 (IPSec)

*IKEv2 (AES and certificates)

To use these, have a look at NEVPNManager and NEVPNProtocolIPSec class reference.
There's also a good example here:
http://ramezanpour.net/post/2014/08/03/configure-and-manage-vpn-connections-programmatically-in-ios-8/
If you really want to to have pptp, then you have to write your own extension, using the Network Extension framework and for that you need a special entitlement from apple, i.e. you have to write them an email and explain why you need this right.
Cheers

La Roche Posay, (parent company L'Oreal) has developed a smart device that is designed to monitor sun exposure. The device is less than two millimeters thick and can be worn on the users thumbnail. UV Sense requires no batteries and can be enabled to work with a smartphone to help limit the risk of skin cancer.
UV Sense is designed to be worn multiple times and can store up to three months' worth of data.
User can wear the device on their thumbnail for up to two weeks at a time. The package also comes with fresh adhesive patches so the device can be reapplied. You can swim, bathe and workout as you normally would without tampering with the device.
L'Oreal is working with MC10, a wearable medical technology company launched by Professor John Rogers at Northwestern University. An estimated 14% of people in the U.S. have at least one tattoo however none are quite like Roger's "wearable tattoo". The wearable technology actually consists of circuit boards thinner than a band-aid and can be attached directly to the skin, hence the name "wearable tattoo." In theory, transistors and other technology are going to continue getting smaller and smaller until they reach the size of a single nanometer. This will allow for the continued innovation of wearable technology.
The UV Sense device, available from L'Oreal-owned skincare brand La Roche-Posay, is accompanied by a mobile app compatible with IOS and Android.
The data is transferred directly to the user's phone to store the sun exposure data by using near-field communication (NFC). Previously, L'Oreal introduced My UV Patch, which was a sticker consisting of a series of dyes. The dyes changed color depending on the length of time they were exposed to sunlight. They allowed users to track the changes in color by using an associated app.
Through customer feedback and studies of My Uv Patch, L'Oreal learned that while users changed their behaviors, with 34% applying sunscreen more often and 37% trying to stay out of the sun more frequently, users wanted a smaller wearable. Additionally, they wanted something with longer wear and real-time data. The company kept these factors in mind when designing UV Sense.
"L'Oréal research shows that overexposure to UV rays is a top health and beauty concern of consumers worldwide,"explained Guive Balooch, Global Vice President of L'Oréal's Technology Incubator.
UV Sense will have limited availability in the U.S. for summer 2018 before a global launch in 2019.

Decaturish.com: One Man's Vision
By ANNA STREETMAN
KENNESAW, Ga. — In 2013, Dan Whisenhunt decided he wanted to do journalism "on his own terms" and founded the award-winning Decaturish.com.
Decaturish.com is a locally sourced news website and blog. It covers news in the Decatur, Avondale, Kirkwood, and the metro area. In 2014, Whisenhunt won Creative Loafing's "best local blogger" award for Decaturish.com.
"I wanted to start my own news website because I wanted to do things my way," Whisenhunt told the Kennesaw State University chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists Tuesday.
Dan Whisenhunt, editor of Decaturish.com
"I wanted to do journalism without somebody breathing over my shoulder asking 'Why? Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to look that up?' Sometimes there's no why. You just have a hunch and want to check things out."
Whisenhunt's goal with Decaturish is to provide news that is both chatty and fun, but also serious and informative. He also stresses the importance of keeping things "fair, transparent, and accountable." Of the news Decaturish covers, Whisenhunt jokes that his readers tend to care about two things: crime and food.
Whisenhunt has a few suggestions for those wanting to start an online news website. He suggests knowing your target audience, talking to people who have done it before, and diversifying your writing – don't stick to one subject. He also suggests having some business experience.
To those who want to write for online, or any publications, Whisenhunt has two main pieces of advice: be good at more than one thing, and never work for free.
"Atlanta is a tough place to be a journalist," Whisenhunt says. "There are tons of talented freelance journalists. A lot of people can write. That's why you need to be able to do more than write. Also, never work for free. Your time and money is valuable. If you work for free, you're sending the message that you're dispensable, when you're not. You're sending the message that it's OK to not pay freelancers, when it isn't."
Whisenhunt won "best local blogger" in Creative Loafing's "Best of Atlanta" awards
To Whisenhunt, his paid subscribers are the true measure of success. Although thousands of people read the website every month, not everybody pays to. Currently, Decaturish has over 200 people who pay subscription fees every month.
"Success, to me, is those 200 people who care about what we are doing, recognize that it takes time and money, and want to see us continue to put out good news," says Whisenhunt. "I do what I do for the people that value us every day."
In the future, Whisenhunt hopes to hire five or six more full-time reporters, possibly take Decaturish to print, and possibly open some sister websites.
Prior to starting Decaturish in 2013, Whisenhunt was a journalist for the Anniston Star in Anniston, Ala. He also worked for the Times Free Press in Chattanooga, Tenn. before moving to Sandy Springs, Ga. and serving as the assistant editor and digital content manager for Reporter Newspapers.

U.S. Tax Program for Illegal Immigrants Under Fire The hundreds of thousands of immigrants working in the United States illegally are still expected to pay income taxes. The program works by providing a special tax identification number instead of a Social Security number — and participants are guaranteed that the information can't be used to deport them.
The hundreds of thousands of immigrants working in the United States illegally are still expected to pay income taxes. The program works by providing a special tax identification number instead of a Social Security number — and participants are guaranteed that the information can't be used to deport them.
But the program's critics say that it amounts to the Internal Revenue Service abetting illegal immigrants.
More than 1 million non-U.S. citizens will file their taxes this year. One of the reasons that those who are living and working illegally in the United States want to file taxes is that they see an opportunity to prove their economic contribution and document their residence.
Last year, 1.4 million people used the special numbers. The last time the government checked, more than half of the people using an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, were illegal immigrants.
Federal tax law prohibits the IRS from sharing information with other government agencies, including immigration authorities. So it's the promise of confidentiality that allows immigrants to file their taxes without fear of being deported.
The U.S. Treasury created ITINs 11 years ago, to help people working here without Social Security numbers comply with U.S. tax laws. According to the law, if you earn money here you have to report it, even if you're here illegally.
Marti Dinerstein, president of Immigration Matters, a public policy firm in New York that advocates for stricter immigration laws, calls the situation "ridiculous."
"They know that people that are using ITINs are in the country illegally," Dinerstein says. "It's basically tantamount to institutionalizing illegal immigration in the country."
The IRS won't comment on this, although in congressional hearings, IRS officials have acknowledged concern that the ITINs may be used for non-tax purposes. In fact, some banks have accepted the numbers in lieu of a Social Security number.
Immigration officials say the IRS is just doing what it's supposed to do — collect taxes. They say the onus is on employers to verify the legal status of their employees.

Lisa Ling's Masterpiece On 'Ex-Gay' Myth
Wayne Besen July 08, 2013
I finally got an opportunity to watch OWN's (Oprah Winfrey Network) Our America with Lisa Ling special on the demise of Exodus International. She did a phenomenal job by asking all the right questions and holding "ex-gay" activist Alan Chambers (if he can still be described as such) accountable for misleading his clients.
It was riveting TV. It was raw. It was honest. It was factual — while still evoking powerful emotions through personal conflict.
In March 2011, we harshly criticized Ling for her first special on the "ex-gay" myth. It was our view that she gave too much airtime to "ex-gay" con artists instead of survivors, who represent the vast majority of people who enter these programs. We also thought she did not strongly challenge the false assertions put forth by Chambers and other "ex-gay" charlatans. Perhaps we were overly harsh, but our criticisms came from an overall frustration of the media giving equal time to a thoroughly discredited view — the "ex-gay" myth — compared to those harmed by this dangerous charade.
After enduring tough criticism, most journalists would have walked away and washed their hands of this controversial topic. To her credit, Lisa Ling hung in there and took another shot — and the result was a masterpiece. Her show was an example of first-rate journalism and the fact that she endured many arrows and still marched forward is a testament to her strong character and commitment to telling an accurate and honest story.
The survivors who appeared on the show, particularly Exodus co-founder Michael Busseee, deserve major kudos. They confronted Chambers and did not fall for his spin. They demanded that Chambers stick to the facts and followed up with tough questions. They simply did not let him off the hook and the results were poignant moments of reckoning for Chambers. Bussee and his band of survivors did their job and played a key role in the closing of Exodus. I am very proud of the brave men and women who appeared on Ling's show — and thrilled that they did not let their emotions cloud their relentless cross examination of the Exodus leader. The result was an historic moment for survivors of "ex-gay" programs and vindication for all their hard work exposing this devastating myth.
In Ling's original special she introduced the world to a man named Christian, who at the time, was a client of militant "ex-gay" activist Janet Boynes, who runs Minneapolis-based Janet Boynes Ministries. In the new Ling special, Christian comes out as a gay man, denying Boynes of her poster boy — and the only client she has ever publicly put forward. Other than herself (and she was bisexual to begin with), Boynes has shown a zero success rate in changing people from gay to straight. She is little more than a shallow talking head who reads meaningless talking points that her paltry record of failure does not support. Given this reality, how does Boynes justify staying in business and asking for money?
Hats off to Lisa Ling and we thank her for producing a special that will resonate for years to come. She has more than earned our respect – she has earned our deep gratitude.
Wayne Besen is the Founding Executive Director of Truth Wins Out and author of "Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth" (Haworth, 2003). In 2010, Besen was awarded the "Visionary Award" at the Out Music Awards for organizing the American Prayer Hour, an event which shined a spotlight on the role American evangelicals played in the introduction of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

Buyer will examine Product promptly after receipt for damage, defects, short-weight and non-conformance. Buyer must give Seller written notice of the existence of each claim involving Product (whether based in contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, other tort or otherwise) within the earlier of thirty (30) days after receipt of the quantity of Product forming the basis for the claim or applicable shelf-life expiration, if any. A failure by Buyer to give such notice within the applicable time constraint will constitute an absolute and unconditional waiver of all such claims. Buyer assumes all risk of patent infringement by reason of any use Buyer makes of the Product in combination with other substances or in the operation of any process, and all infringement arising out of Seller's compliance with Buyer's designs, specifications or instructions, and Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against the same. Seller's entire liability to Buyer for damages, whether under breach of warranty or any other cause whatsoever, and whether under this contract or otherwise, shall in no event exceed that part of the purchase price applicable to the portion of Product giving rise to Buyer's claim for such damages. In no event will either party have liability to the other for any incidental, consequential, exemplary or special damages.
Seller may discontinue any Product sold hereunder at any time, unless Buyer and Seller have otherwise agreed in writing.
Buyer will make all payments hereunder in cash or in negotiable paper collectible at face value in the funds and at the location indicated on Seller's invoice; late payments will bear interest at 1.5%/month. If Seller determines that Buyer's financial responsibility has become impaired or otherwise unsatisfactory to Seller, Seller may require advance cash payments, COD, shorter terms, and/or the posting of satisfactory security by Buyer, and may withhold shipments until Buyer complies.
If a present or future law, governmental decree, order, regulation, or ruling under any existing or future legislation prevents Seller from increasing or revising the price as provided herein, or nullifies or reduces any price or price increase hereunder, upon written notice from one to the other Seller and Buyer will attempt to identify mutually agreeable changes to conform this contract with such law, decree, order, regulation, or ruling. If the parties cannot agree upon and implement such changes within sixty (60) days after such notice, Seller shall thereupon have a right to terminate this contract forthwith by written notice to Buyer.
Seller may change the price and/or terms of delivery and shipment at any time up until shipment, except where a written alternative pricing mechanism exists in this contract. In addition, at any time prior to delivery, Seller may pass through increased fuel surcharges or taxes imposed upon Seller in connection with the sale/shipment of the Product after order acceptance.
Buyer will reimburse Seller for all federal, state, local or other taxes (other than income taxes), excises or charges, including superfund taxes and fees, which Seller must pay in connection with the manufacture and supply of Product, but only those amounts not already included in the price at the commencement of this contract.
Title and risk of loss to the Product shall pass to Buyer at Seller's point of shipment. Buyer assumes all risks and liabilities arising out of unloading, discharge, storage, handling and use of the Product, or arising out of compliance or non-compliance with federal, state, municipal or local laws and regulations governing or controlling such activity, except to the extent, if any, attributable to Seller's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller has no liability for the failure of discharge or unloading equipment or materials used by Buyer, whether or not supplied by Seller. Except to the extent attributable to the Product failing to meet the express warranties set forth in paragraph 1, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all costs, expenses, damages, judgements or other loss, including costs of investigation, litigation and reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of Buyer's selection, use, sale and further processing of the Product.
Either party may suspend performance hereunder (except to pay for Product already received) in the event of: (1) acts of God, fire, explosion, flood, hurricanes; (2) strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances or riots; (3) war, declared or undeclared, or acts of terrorism; (4) compliance with any Federal, state, provincial, municipal or military law, regulation, order, or rule, foreign or domestic, including priority, rationing, allocation or preemption orders or regulations, or cancellation of Seller's or Buyer's license to operate its plant; (5) catastrophic failure of facilities used to manufacture Product, interruption or shortage of transportation, labor, power, fuel or raw materials; (6) total or partial shutdown due to Seller's normal plant turnaround; or (7) any other cause or causes of any kind or character reasonably outside the control of the party failing to perform, whether similar or dissimilar from the enumerated causes (a "force majeure"). In the event a force majeure renders a party unable to perform its obligations under this contract, such party shall give written notice to the other party, with the full particulars including the expected duration of such force majeure promptly after the occurrence of the cause relied on, and upon the giving of such notice such party may suspend its obligations hereunder to the extent affected by such force majeure for the duration of the force majeure, but no longer, and so far as possible, such party will remedy the force majeure with reasonable dispatch. When a force majeure ends, performance shall resume, but such delay shall not, except by mutual agreement, operate to extend the term of this contract or obligate the Seller to make up deliveries or Buyer to purchase quantities so missed. Settlement of strikes or lockouts shall lie entirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty;, the above requirements for remedy of any force majeure with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the employees involved, when deemed inadvisable by the party having the labor difficulty. In the event of a force majeure, Seller has no obligation to purchase material for resale to Buyer, and no liability for cost to cover incurred by Buyer.
Buyer acknowledges that Seller has furnished to Buyer Material Safety Data sheets, which include warnings together with safety and health information concerning the Product and/or the containers for such Product. Buyer will disseminate such information so as to give warning of possible hazards to persons whom Buyer can reasonably foresee may receive exposure to such hazards, including, but not limited to, Buyer's employees, agents, contractors and customers. Buyer will indemnify, defend and save Seller harmless against any and all liability arising out of or in any way connected with Buyer's failure to disseminate such information, including without limitation, liability for injury, sickness, death and property damage, and costs of investigation, litigation and reasonable attorney's fees.
During periods when demand for Product exceeds Seller's available supply, whether due to a force majeure or otherwise, Seller may distribute Product among itself for its own manufacturing uses, its customers, and Buyer in such manner as Seller deems fair and practicable. Buyer will accept, as full and complete performance by Seller, deliveries in accordance with such determinations as Seller may make. Except in the case of a force majeure, if not satisfied with Seller's determination, Buyer as its sole remedy shall have a right to terminate this contract without further obligation upon: (i) 10 days written notice; and (ii) payment for all Product received to date.
Buyer may assign/transfer rights and/or delegate duties/obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of Seller, not unreasonably withheld. Seller may assign this contract and/or rights and delegate obligations under this contract without the consent of Buyer.
These Terms and Conditions apply to all sales by Spartech LLC and its affiliated companies. No statement of agreement, oral or written, made before or at the signing of this contract shall vary or modify the written terms hereof, and neither party shall claim any amendment, modification or release from any provision hereof unless such change occurs in a writing signed by the other party and specifically identifying it as an amendment to this contract. No modification or addition to this contract shall occur by the acknowledgment or acceptance by Seller of a purchase order, acknowledgment, release or other form submitted by Buyer containing additional or different terms or conditions, and Seller hereby gives Buyer notice of the rejection of such additional terms and conditions. A provision elsewhere in this contract that conflicts with a provision in these general terms and conditions will govern.

Fired Mandeville church staffer surrenders to cops after being accused of sexually abusing underage boy
Pauline Hodgdon September 25, 2018
By Ramon Antonio Vargas
The man who was fired over the weekend from his staff position at a prominent Mandeville church has surrendered to police in Mississippi on accusations of molesting an underage boy, authorities said Tuesday.
Travis Bush, 36, turned himself in after investigators in Bay St. Louis obtained a warrant to arrest him.
Detective Sgt. Rachel Jewell of the Bay St. Louis Police Department said the particular crime that Bush is accused of committing implies that the boy in the case is 16 years old or younger, but she declined to release any more details.
Milton Ramirez of the U.S. Marshals Office in New Orleans said his agency was aiding the manhunt for Bush before he surrendered by early Tuesday afternoon.
Bush often sang at services held by St. Timothy on the Northshore United Methodist Church and held the title of assistant director of worship arts before leaders of that congregation announced his dismissal on Sunday.

Now in defence of my own preconceptions about Enderle, Groklaw, and IBM's probable culpability with respect to SCO, I should point out that this happened to be a perfect example of shamelessly catering to one's audience - it was, after all, Enderle's keynote defence of SCO given at SCO's 2004 convention. Ethics aside, however, the thing was brilliantly done: a rousing rant staring himself as a shining knight in battle stained armor standing proudly with team SCO in the closing pincer between IBM's financial clout and Groklaw's assembled hordes.
So if his points are generally valid, and his thinking is sound once you correct for his fundamental ascription error, why is this speech still just a rant? I think it's mainly just appearance: if he were to revise this thing to take out the attacks on Groklaw, drop the self serving bits, and correctly identify the people who made it possible for someone like Red Hat's president, to take home an estimated $66,000,000 in 2005 for selling free Linux licenses, most people would probably see this speech as a genuine contribution to the Linux and open source communities.


Book reports are one of the "necessary evils" we must force our students to endure in some form. Ages ago (or so it seems!) when I first started teaching I had the students do traditional, formal book reports. They were handwritten in ink, torturous, and BORING. Then we had access to our first computer lab which was stocked with Apples. I desperately wanted my students to type their reports on the new computers and print them out for submission. Much easier, right? I had my students in for a couple sessions and they were all ready to print. That was when the "interim" computer guy did something to the network and lost every one of my students' book reports. He apologized and I did not have the heart to ask my students to work toward a replacement report for submission. It was not until we got a lab filled with PCs that I was able to trust the technology with a class again. Losing those reports was a terrible thing to have happen, but it also made me aware of creative ways of getting the same information from students. Don't get me wrong – traditional reports are still an important form of writing which must still be taught. They are valuable for teaching the vital processes of writing, organization of thoughts and writing, and a venue for literary elements. However, we now have more options to make this happen and much less painfully.
Since that disastrous day, I have resorted to "alternative" book report projects as opposed to traditional formal book reports. Before the recent technology pushes, I developed (with the aid of some professional materials) several styles of reports which were more fun and enabled me to get the same information from my students that a traditional report would. My favorite is one for 5th grade called "Trash Picking". The students bring a minimum of 10 items from home which relate to the story somehow. I encourage creativity as things will obviously not match what they want exactly. They are not allowed to buy things for it specifically and nothing may be perishable or live. Pictures may be used for only a couple of the items. The students present the items orally to the class. For the book Bunnicula I have had students bring in Aquafresh toothpaste using the green and red stripes to represent vegetables and the white stripes as the vegetables Bunnicula sucked the juices from. Another basic one from the past is a 4th grade project. I would stock up on old magazines and catalogs to use as cut-ups. The students would have 5 categories for which they needed to find pictures to represent. They then wrote one good sentence explaining that part of the book. Both of these examples are pre-technology types, but they worked really well for adaptations with special needs students. A student with poor written expression was able to succeed happily. I maintained a 100% turn in rate with these projects.
Now that technology is again becoming a viable alternative for reporting techniques I have begun adjusting my curriculum. I love the power and flexibility offered by PowerPoint. Students are able to add graphics, text, and audio to relay important information from a book. Movie Maker is another tool which allows for extreme creativity using videos, images, text, and audio. Digital cameras/camcorders can be used to stage shots; Paint programs can be used to create original images. Graphic editors can be used to alter any image to make it fit their needs. Audacity and a microphone can be used to create a podcast as a news report or interview. Online comic strip creators can be used to retell a story in a graphic format. Stories can be told from the viewpoint of a character. The possibilities are seriously limitless now.
QUESTION FOR COMMENTS: I would love to hear of some other fun ideas from my fellow educators. Does anyone have some creative reporting ideas they have used with their classes?
Ah, I see! Bummer – but that is also good to know – thanks!

Inhibition and habituation: Preserved mechanisms of attentional selection in aging and Alzheimer's disease
Linda K. Langley, J. Bruce Overmier, David S. Knopman, Margaret M. Prod'Homme
Are inhibition and habituation, processes that contribute to selective attention, impaired by aging or Alzheimer's disease (AD)? Younger adults, older adults, and adults with AD read lists of letters presented either alone or paired with distractor letters. Slower reading times for lists containing distractors relative to lists without distractors indexed concurrent interference (distraction). Slower reading times for lists in which distractors subsequently became targets relative to lists in which distractors and targets were unrelated indexed negative priming (inhibition). Faster reading times when distractors were constant in identity or location rather than random indexed repeated distractor effects (habituation). Distraction increased with aging and AD, whereas inhibition and habituation showed no age- or AD-related decline, suggesting that inhibition and habituation still function to aid attentional selection in older adults and adults with AD.

In his first job, he was employed as a turn boy for a truck of garbage collectors. He shares, 'I worked there for years and was able to feed my family and I.' This laid the foundation for him with a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit that he would carry with him.
Within the Zidisha community, Joseph is an impressive entrepreneur with 7 successful loans and a 100% repayment rate! For the past 3 years, he has been able to slowly and surely increase his stock and build his business with the help of Zidisha lenders.
Starting out as a new Zidisha borrower in April 2016, he sought out $100 to increase his overall stock of milk and eggs. Even with small beginnings, he could easily envision what his business could grow to become!
By 2017, Joseph had a new idea for his business. Rather than continuing to purchase his eggs from a third party, he decided to go straight to the farmers. Furthermore, he successfully raised a $371 loan from lenders and this allowed him to restock his egg supply. He also saw this as an opportunity to create employment for a youth in his community as he sought out egg suppliers.
A few months later, in October 2017, Joseph came up with a new and innovative idea for his business. As he is in the milk business, he decided to purchase a vending machine for milk. He predicted that this would make his everyday work easier and this would also give him a competitive advantage over his competitors. By November, he was granted a $510 loan from lenders to help make the vending machine dream a reality.
Joseph excitedly says, 'Due to high increase of vending machine customers are preferring it. This machine is accurate and hygienic. If you grant me the loan I will be able to introduce the machine in my shop. By installing this machine my sales will go up to 70% from 50% in Selling.
Fortunately, his lenders were happy to help him continue to grow! By January 31, he had received the loan and was ready to pay for the truck. In addition, he is also able to employ two men to help him collect the bins. Through his time with Zidisha, Joseph has been able to provide for his family, create 2 businesses that are meeting needs in the community, and employing others so that they can also support their own families!

Naval ROTC moves to Cascade Hall
hut_entrance_facing.jpg
The Oregon State University Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps is scheduled to move this summer from the Naval ROTC Armory, located in the Quonset huts along SW Washington Way, to a renovated space in the west side of Cascade Hall. The Naval ROTC Armory will be removed as part of the Washington Way Improvement Project, which is currently in the permitting phase.
A planned commemoration ceremony for the Naval ROTC Armory has been cancelled in order to help reduce the risk and spread of COVID-19. An online exhibit is being created to commemorate the building and will provide alumni and community members with an enduring look at images of the Naval ROTC Armory and the shared memories of those whose OSU experience was impacted by the building.
"For more than 68 years, OSU NROTC's 'Beaver Battalion' has commissioned the finest naval officers in the nation out of our Quonset huts. We are excited to continue that tradition at Cascade Hall, living up to our title of 'Best in the West'," said Midshipman 1/C Christopher Hoskins, U.S. Naval Reserve. Hoskins is a senior at OSU.
Quonset huts have a rich history at OSU, having been used as buildings to house and educate an influx of students following World War II. Designed to be lightweight and portable, Quonset huts were only meant to be used temporarily as new buildings were being constructed.
OSU NROTC, part of the Department of Naval Science, was commissioned on September 17, 1945, and initially occupied Quonset huts next to Moreland Hall, in the space now occupied by the Native American Longhouse Eena Haws. In 1951, OSU NROTC was moved to the current Quonset huts. The Quonset huts were previously used as dining facilities and located just east of SW 30th Street. In 1959, the structures were moved to their current location along SW Washington Way.
Today OSU NROTC unit has nearly 100 students enrolled in the program, with roughly 60% as Navy options and 40% as Marine Corps options. More than a quarter of those enrolled are women and the majority of students have been awarded scholarships.

The Washington Way Improvement Project will provide a safer and better-connected Washington Way corridor. The road will be relocated 10 feet to the north of the railroad tracks, and separate cycle track facilities and a pedestrian sidewalk will provide ways for students, staff and visitors to use active modes of transportation.
For NROTC, the updated Cascade Hall first floor will provide a modernized area for a lecture hall, assembly room, office and classroom spaces, armory and storage space for training equipment.

I am Mary Kom's biggest fan: Sunil Chhetri
New Delhi, July 11 (IANS) Talismanic football striker Sunil Chhetri has been an inspiration for millions of youngsters in India who want to make a career in football. With 70 goals to his name, he is currently the second highest active international goal scorer in the world.
Chhetri, who recently won the AIFF Player of the Year for a record sixth time, has revealed that he draws inspiration from six-time world boxing champion Mary Kom.
In an interview with AIFF, Chhetri was asked about his source of motivation, to which he replied: "I gather from motivation around me -- from a lot of personalities who have done well in their respective fields."
"MC Mary Kom is one of them. She is an unbelievable story. She is a six-time world champion and has been a world champion after giving birth to twins, and even after being a mother of three.
"Besides, she has 14 gold medals in all, including the Asian Games, the Asian Championships, the CWG Games, and others. If she doesn't inspire India, who else will? I am her biggest fan."
The India captain further revealed that Mary's "never die attitude" is something for which he respects her a lot.
"Her never say die attitude. Nothing is too late, everything is possible. There are phases in life which surface at times, and it makes you understand that despite you working hard, everything what you are doing is probably not enough. That's when you need to look around, and beyond. You need to look at what other people are doing. A prime example stays Mary Kom. That's when the understanding creeps up -- that you need to push yourself more."
The 34-year-old is ahead of Argentina legend Lionel Messi when it comes to active goal scorers in international football. He is now only second to the Portuguese powerhouse Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 88 goals to his name.
Chhetri further said that in the footballing world, he draws inspiration from the duo.
"There are two gentlemen named Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi. In the last 10-11 years they have completely dominated the world of football," Chhetri said.
"If they don't score in two-three matches, people start speaking that 'they are out of form.' Whenever I am stressed or tired, I always think about these guys. And it falls into place for me."

UN report on J&K biased, legitimizes terrorism: India


Have you ever wondered what it feels like to go back in time, coming face to face with something that is thousands of years old?
Though time travel isn't possible (yet), walking on a glacier that was formed during the last ice age sure is.
Bonus: the glaciers in Patagonia hold water that is some of the purest on Earth.
Tours go every day from the nearby town of Puerto Rio Tranquilo over to the Exploradores glacier, which is a few hours away. After Steve showed photos of it to me on Google images, I was 100% down with the glacier hike.
Tours only started on Exploradores a few years ago, opening up a new revenue stream for the town of Puerto Rio Tranquilo and increasing tourism. In the grand scheme of things, even access to the town of Pto Rio Tranquilo is new. Prior to the construction of the Carretera Austral in the late '80s, this was one of the most remote places on Earth.
The groups are of about 20 people plus two guides, roaming in a single file across the glacier. In this case a guide is a necessity. They're not only required in the national park, but also essential to not falling into a crevasse. They know the routes, and where to find the best photo opportunities.
Down south on Perito Moreno or Glacier Grey, the costs for a tour are about double (this one only cost around USD $60), and the photos I saw from those didn't compare to those from our trek. Perhaps it's a different kind of glacier or with more people, slightly tighter regulations, but I loved what I ended up seeing (and editing later that evening).
The hike starts through a forest path for about an hour before coming to a glacier moraine. The thing about moraines is, like the glaciers, they're constantly moving. This means there is no specific path and it's a game of jumping from boulder to boulder and sometimes climbing with hands and feet. This lasts for a couple of hours as well.
Not to worry, though, because if you get thirsty you can always count on the fresh water coming directly from the glacier!
And you've got to stay on your feet!
Eventually the rocks make way for ice. Crampons on, the feeling of walking on the ice is akin to that of the satisfying crunch from jumping on autumn leaves. It's crisp and it crackles.
We were taught how to stay upright and how to climb up and down the slopes of the glacier. I felt that chances were good that nobody would fall into a crevasse, but given how steep some of the ups and downs are, I could have quite easily, at the very least, fallen flat on my face. I'm just that coordinated.
New ice caves are opening up and closing off all the time as the glacier recedes, as they are doing globally. Some of the ice waves and corners we crawled into and through are probably not even there anymore, and that was just a couple of months ago.
At some point during the day it hits you, while surrounded by such baby blue water, giant mountains that frame the glacier, also covered in glaciers and waterfalls of their own, that this is a special place.
There aren't that many places in the world with that much ice, so few tourists, and so many adventurous options. No wonder Patagonia has long enthralled adventurists and sat so high on the bucket lists of so many travelers.
Yet so many of them pass this opportunity right up, because it's not the easiest place to get to. So they go straight to the south instead and bypass most of Chilean Patagonia.
You know what? That's just fine with me, because the remoteness makes it all the more alluring.
But if you're welling to go the distance, I hope that you make it there, too.
And while you're at it, check these marble caves out!
Getting There: Take a tour from Puerto Rio Tranquilo. They depart daily and there are many companies where you can book in person. I went with and can recommend Explora Sur, which charged 45,000 CLP. The same company also runs boat tours to the marble caves which take off multiple times daily from town and last a couple of hours.
Wear: Something that isn't baggy. I had wished my baggy pants had just been left at home because you can trip on them and go flying into a crevasse. Also bring hiking boots appropriate for all of the rocks, gloves, waterproof clothing, and sunscreen.
Sleep: Either in campgrounds if you have a tent, or at one of the guesthouses in town. It's best to arrive and ask around.
This definitely looks like a fun experience! However, it was also a bit dangerous as the ice is very tricky and falling into a crevasse is quite easy.
For sure and it would be very foolish to go without a guide.
Haha awesome. Honored to be an inspiration!
I've walked on a glacier Alberta, Canada and came away thinking 'meh, kinda just like walking around in winter' but your experience was absolutely amazing! I actually got tingles when you were talking about how it is one of the few remote places left in the world. Such an adventure to climb on and through a beautiful glacier like that one.
I've seen photos of other glacier hikes and they didn't go in the ice caves and the ice waves. I guess it's a different kind of glacier (I'm no expert in these things) or maybe safety regulations preventing guides from taking people into these things haven't hit this area yet. Was super cool!
I'm definitely a sucker for a good glacier, and this one looks amazing! I've been glacier hiking a few times, but never into ice caves/waves like those! Just one more reason to bump Patagonia up to the top of my list!
Where did you stay in Puerto Rio Tranquilo? I am not finding much online. Will be taking a long bus ride from El Chalten, because I can't miss this while I am there. How many days do you recommend for this spot? Thanks!
You're not finding much online because there's not much internet there. It's small mom and pop homestays and I just arrived and looked around. Can't remember the name of the place now but that's how the Carretera Austral was. Arrive and look around. I'd give it at least 3 days to allow for weather!
Your tip about not wearing baggy pants is spot on, especially when wearing crampons! Do you know if the outfitter or guides ever offer any multi-day/overnight trips?
I don't see in your picture hikers walking with hiking pole? Any reason? Can I rent spiky hiking shoes there? is there any age restriction? Can I take my 12 years old?
We didn't use hiking poles on the glaciers, but we did use crampons which they provided. I didn't see kids that age so I would ask the tour company!
Pls advice whether Dec is good month to visit this place. Thanks for posting your article.
Should be! I'm not sure though, always depends on the year.
Hey Kristin! I'm planning a 3 week Patagonia trip. Planning on doing TDP, Fitz Roy, Torres, and all the good stuff. I would love to check out Puerto Rio Tranquillo. What is the best way to get there from Puerto Natales or El Cafate?
Which tour company did you go with?
Would love to return, you?
Yeah same I'd love to go back. Will probably do so in 2019!
Our son is spending a month hiking around Patagonia before we catch up with him to do TdP W hike in mid October. I've been reading about your 10 best hikes in Patagonia and they all look pretty amazing! I've noticed that you do a bit of hitch hiking to get around. He's travelling on his own, but hoping to meet fellow hikers in Puerto Natales and go from there. Do you think it's pretty safe to hitch hike around Patagonia on your own generally? I like the way you started at the top and worked your way south, he flys into Punta Arenas and will then bus to Puerto Natales. He's then thinking of bussing it up to say Bariloche and hike and travel back from there.
It's quite common to hitchhike along the Carretera Austral, however it doesn't sound like his trip would involve that road if he's traveling between Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales. It's easy to bus between those two places and from there, I'd probably bus over to Argentina's El Calfate and fly up to Bariloche. It depends on how much time he has and whether he wants to involve the Carretera or not. There are so few buses on that road most people end up hitchhiking and I thought it was fine but it, of course, always comes with risks.
Love your top 10 list. I am trying to do as many as possible of them while I'm here. I'm Currently in Bariloche waiting for the weather to clear.
I really want to see the Exploradores glacier but have a hard time finding a good way down there from here. Any suggestions?
You could go down to Patagonia on the Argentinian side and cross over to Puerto Rio Tranquilo or go down the Carretera Austral but that's the slow, adventurous method.
I was wondering if the glacier + the caves was a 2 days thing for you, or if these are doable in 1 day.
Say the glacier in the day, while boat tour to the caves in the afternoon. You mentioned the caves are a couple of hours. Are these 2 doable in a day?
I think it's probably doable, yes.
Thank you for your posts. Because of this one I have decided to do a side trip from the original Patagonian plan and explore Exploradores Glacier as you did.
My problem is following, Google shutdown reCAPCHA and in order to email Explora Sur you need to confirm you are not a bot, this is no longer possible because the haven't replaced original reCAPCHA with anything else. Do you have their direct email where i could email them and book the tour?
I am flying to Buenos Aires in two weeks and working my way up North and then down south trekking through Patagonia. I have only a month to do all. And i just can't stop talking and thinking about it all day every day.
Oh dear, that's annoying! Can you use a different browser than Chrome, or is that not the issue?
I actually booked this in person the day before, which shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately I don't have any direct contact info, but I believe most people probably do just show up and book in person. Hope that helps!


But it is not its height that makes this turbine special. It's one of five emerging from the sea as part of Hywind Scotland – the world's first floating windfarm.
"With floating wind, we're trying to access deeper waters, particularly where there's quite high wind speeds as wind is the fuel of the industry," explains Rhodri James, a manager at the Carbon Trust.
According to the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), floating turbines could account for almost half of the 55GW of power predicted to be generated by offshore turbines by 2050. "If offshore wind deployment reaches 40GW, the ETI expects that 8-16GW of this could be provided by floating wind technology, the majority of which would be in Scottish waters," says James. There is also, he says, enormous potential for floating wind power in Japan and on Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines.
Despite its promise, floating wind technology is still in its infancy, and is yet to be demonstrated at large scale. Several projections suggest that floating wind power can reach cost parity with fixed-bottom turbines during the 2020s if adequate support is provided by government. But the challenge for the industry is to optimise designs and build a commercial model that will deliver the economies of scale needed to drive down costs.
Hywind technology consists of a wind turbine placed on top of a ballasted cylinder. The turbines are anchored to the seabed by three mooring chains, connected to a suction anchor. The chains are close to 900m long and weigh 400 tonnes. The suction anchors themselves are 16m tall and 5m in diameter.
The Hywind Scotland windfarm, floating 25km off Peterhead on the east coast, will consist of five turbines, each rated at 6MW, which will provide renewable energy to 20,000 households. The objective of the pilot project is to demonstrate the cost efficiency and feasibility of multiple floating turbines in a region that has optimal wind conditions.
Floating wind power is not a new concept. The technology was first conceptualised by Statoil in 2001, a scale model was used to test the concept in 2005 in Trondheim, and Hywind Demo, the world's first full-scale floating wind turbine, with 2.3MW output, was installed off the island of Karmoy, north of Stavanger in Norway in 2009.
"Through six years of testing in the North Sea, the concept has been verified, and performance exceeds expectations," says Elin Isaksen of Statoil. The company has used the data from the demonstration to create simulation tools, which have been used to optimise the concept for future projects.
The experience has also been useful in optimising and controlling the motion of the floating turbines which, says Isaksen, will be increasingly important as their size increases. "Development work is also ongoing to improve and optimise the fabrication process, the mooring system and the installation methods, all with the aim of reducing the overall cost of energy," she adds.
It is expected that the windfarm in Scotland will be operational by the end of this year, with Statoil reporting that the project is on schedule. "Right now we are in the assembly phase," said Isaksen in May. Since then, the turbines have been assembled onshore at Statoil's Stord base on the west coast of Norway.
They were then lifted by Saipem 7000, the world's second-largest crane vessel, onto the ballasted, floating sub-structure, leaving them standing in the water. In the summer, the five floating turbines were towed across the sea to Scotland for final installation with suction piles and mooring.
Scotland is particularly well placed to take advantage of the technology, says James, thanks to its rich experience in the oil and gas sector. While countries such as Japan, the US and France are keen to develop floating wind power, the lack of either an established oil and gas sector or offshore wind industry may impede the rate of technology development and limit the cost reduction that can be achieved. By tapping into an existing knowledge base and benefiting from an established supply chain, Scotland can play a key role in supporting the global floating wind-power market.
Hywind is not the only floating wind project in the offing. Pilot Offshore Renewables is in the early stages of developing a windfarm to the south-east of Aberdeen off Scotland's east coast.
Meanwhile, the Floatgen project, a consortium of seven European partners, is aiming to extend the development potential of offshore windfarms to deeper waters with more optimal average wind speeds. This will involve the construction and installation of a 2MW demonstration structure off the west coast of France at Le Croisic, at the Ecole Centrale de Nantes' SEM-REV test site, by the end of this year.
This project is using a new approach called a 'damping pool foundation,' based on technology from one of the partners, Ideol. It is under construction in Saint-Nazaire harbour.
Fixed-bottom offshore turbines have seen increased deployment and dramatic cost reductions, and floating wind power is riding off that success. "Floating turbines can play quite a key role in accessing fairly strong wind speeds, particularly where they might be fairly close to shore," says James.
Choisnet points to the limitless potential to produce renewable electricity with floating wind technology as a reason for optimism. "The market opportunities are huge: floating wind turbines can be installed on oceans worldwide, offering a solution to the problematic issues faced by countries where offshore bottom-fixed turbines are incompatible with the great depths off their coasts," he says.

This one week intensive Workshop is designed for physicists and engineers from developing countries who are interested in learning entrepreneurial skills to commercialize their scientific inventions. Such an educational program is missing in many of the developing countries for scientists working in universities and scientific institutions. The participants will benefit from the international perspective provided in this Workshop from both experts and co-participants from developing countries. It will be jointly organized by ICTP, APS, IOP and AREA Science Park.
The objectives of this Workshop are to introduce to scientists and engineeers the process of innovation, generation and protection of intellectual property, technology transfer and commercialization of a product.
Relation between scientific research, inventions and products; Institutional roles for commercialization; Physicists as entrepreneurs; Microfinancing and IP development in developing countries; Concept of intellectual property and its significance; Timelines and processes for taking an invention to product; Global IP protection; Basics of patenting; Working with industry; Business plan fundamentals; Taking science to the market, success stories; Science parks and innovation tools, BIC-FVG experiences; Business plan presentation by participants and visit to the AREA Science Park in Trieste.
Scientists and students from all countries which are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the activity. As it will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. Although the main purpose of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries, through a programme of training activities within a framework of international cooperation, students and post-doctoral scientists from developed countries are also welcome to attend.
As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by the home institution. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are available for some participants from developing countries, to be selected by the organizers. There is no registration fee.
