Before you can begin, you must first know what business you want. What does your company stand for, what does it seek to achieve? You must know what your company's goal is, what it's vision is, and what you want to achieve. You must also know about your product – why should consumers purchase it? What value does it bring? Once you know this information, you will be able to start setting up your business.
Before you can begin, you need to know the industry that you are going in to. Who are the big players? Who are your competition? What techniques and practices do the successful companies use that you should adopt? You can learn so much just be researching your competition, which is why it should be your first step after you have determined who and what your company is.
There will always be start-up costs to your business, which is why you must always consider where you will get the funding. If you have been working in the industry for years, you could have both the know-how and the savings to start your business yourself. If you don't have the savings, however, you will instead have to look at loans or other options. Know where you will get funding before you start, otherwise you'll have a hard time getting your business off the ground.
A great way to gauge interest and increase awareness is to create free online profiles for your company before you launch. You can easily sell people the idea of your company and get presales, interested (and potentially loyal) customers, and in some cases even funding. Get your company out there before it launches so that you can drum up support, funding, and publicity before you even begin.
Know that some things will go wrong. In some cases, nothing will go right. Know the realistic setbacks that you could face and have contingency plans. Many businesses, for instance, should know about MySQL data repair services. You want to know how to fix problems before they even begin.
Being prepared and knowledgeable before you begin financing your business is a great way to be begin. Not only will you know how to succeed by studying your competition, you will also know how to market yourself better and will be able to succeed faster.

Can Talking Save The Earth? 'Climate Conversations' Says Yes
Top Image: Harli Marten on Unsplash.
It's difficult to talk about the climate crisis.
Even in Singapore, an island nation where the effects of rising sea levels, shaky food security, and drying of water resources will have an outsized impact, we aren't discussing the climate crisis nearly as much as we should be.
But one group is trying to change all that.
Founded in 2017, Climate Conversations is a non-government organisation (NGO) that aims to facilitate 'meaningful conversations with friends and family that inspire them to care for our environment and our future'. Sounds good, right?
Of course, my first response was: "What a load of bull****"
When it comes to the climate crisis, I've become so jaded that my ears have begun to turn olive. As someone who's been on both the receiving and giving end (har har) of climate advocacy, I've achieved a state of quiet despair over the years—people just don't care, and when they do, it's just enough to buy a metal straw that does more harm than good.
Into my cynical world walks Climate Conversations with its sunny front page and smiley photographs. 'Hope Dies, Action Begins' is a rallying cry for groups like Extinction Rebellion; 'Meaningful Conversations' sounds like your aunt's tai chee brunches. So convinced was I of Climate Conversations' absolute lack of positive qualities that I semi-jokingly penned some scathing headlines before I ever met them:
"Bold New Idea: A Climate Group That's Preaching To The Choir"
"Climate Conversations: An NGO For Rich People At Wine Parties"
"Can Talking Save The World? The Answer May Shock You: No"
Reluctantly, I signed up for a session, expecting to be disappointed in their paltry efforts, reinforced in my eternal cynicism, and worst of all, terminally bored.
This rainy Saturday afternoon, I'm at the home of 22-year-old Angela Ferguson for a Conversation that she is facilitating for friends and colleagues. Over the weekend, I also get to speak with Jacelyn Tan, 26, another volunteer facilitator.
The set-up for a Conversation is simple: If you want to have a chat with your friends or family about the climate crisis, just find a time, place, and willing participants; give Climate Conversations a ring, and they'll send a facilitator down to, well, facilitate.
Therein lay my first indictment of Climate Conversations: Because it's a self-selecting group, only those interested in discussing the climate crisis would bother turning up.
Angela disagrees. Before each Conversation, participants are made to fill out a survey, in which they are asked, amongst other things, why they chose to attend each session. The most common reason: to catch up with friends or family members.
Jacelyn, who began her journey with Climate Conversations as a host, finds that it provides an avenue for average Singaporeans to be introduced to the climate crisis.
"I found it really difficult to bring up the subject to the people that are closest to me," she says.
"How do I bring up [the climate crisis] to my dad? To my mum? To my good friend?"
"With climate conversations, you offload the responsibility to the facilitator. It's not so awkward for you—you just need to bring people together, and the facilitator will handle the rest," she explains.
In this way, Climate Conversations is doing more than preaching to the choir. In fact, it's cleverly piggybacking on existing human networks to spread the message of climate advocacy.
"It's a bit like Evangelism," laughs Jacelyn, "But not quite!"
I find it an apt comparison.
Climate Conversations is trying to spread the word on the crisis.
Climate Conversations' hope is that out of every one session, four or five 'converts' will be impacted enough to host their own Conversations, and from that group, four more, and so on and so forth; a ripple effect that mushrooms through the fabric of society.
Many people are intellectually aware of the climate crisis, but don't emotionally recognise the depth of the issue, and are uncommitted to change. With Climate Conversations, you hear about these problems not from a random lecturer, but your own child, relative, colleague, or friend. A core purpose of Climate Conversations is to awaken that deeper understanding within participants.
The Conversations are structured to shape such an understanding. At the start of our session, Angela asks a simple question: What do you value in your life? With some guidance, we are able to build the inevitable links between these 'things' and the climate crisis.
24-year-old Cheryl Cosslett, a government relations analyst, said that the Conversation made her more aware of the interplay between climate change and many issues that she feels strongly about: inequality, poverty, and education, for example. Often, climate change is the silent factor kicking these problems into overdrive.
So not exactly preaching to the choir, is it?
It's often said, however, that the climate crisis is a rich man's problem, and the network-reliant nature of the Climate Conversations makes it all the more likely that their message will only be accessible to the elite in Singapore society.
"Recently," counters Jacelyn, "Our team held a Conversation for several mothers at the Henderson Community Centre (CC). To these women, climate change may not be a part of their immediate lives … But if they come to the realisation that it affects people they love, that they care about, they become more receptive to the issue. They want the best for their children."
As of writing this article, Climate Conversations has engaged with the likes of the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR). Alongside CCs, these are some organisations that may invite Climate Conversations' facilitators to run sessions for interested parties, hopefully creating new branches of the network from each event.
But we've got one more hurdle to cross, and it's the biggest one yet: Translating these fireside chats into tangible action. It'd be a shame if nothing more came from a Conversation than commitments to eat less meat on weekdays, turn off the A/C after 10 PM, buy fewer useless plastic ding-dongs, or whatever.
Yet Climate Conversations isn't actually interested in individual action.
In addition to facilitators, Climate Conversations has a group of researchers who look for opportunities to recommend actions that facilitators can take to their Conversations.
A recent example is Climate Conversations' review of Singapore's new electricity providers. After evaluating each competitor, researchers provided environmentally-focused recommendations; electricity providers like solar-powered Sunseap are featured on the list.
"It just takes twenty minutes out of your day to switch energy provider," says Jacelyn, "Everyone in Singapore is pressed for time; we want to look for something that is easy to do."
During our Conversation, Angela asks us to brainstorm other collective actions that can show governments and businesses the need for climate-conscious decisions. Examples of past actions include Old Chang Kee's switch to sustainable palm oil, Standard Chartered's commitment to cease funding for coal-fired fuel plants, and yes, the plastic straws 'ban'.
Nearly three hundred F&B outlets will stop providing plastic straws. Image: Getty
As a result of all this sharing, some participants are inspired to do more. At the end of the session, Angela asks what changes we'd like to make as a result of this session.
Zhengyi Zhu, 31, a management consultant, talks about improving the environment through economically sustainable business ventures. Management consultancies have the opportunity to promote and support the sustainable transformation of big business.
Jacelyn addresses the demand side of the problem, encouraging consumers to make their voices heard by rejecting brands that participate in unsustainable practices. Both she and Angela espouse that the 'consultative' 4G government looks poised to listen, and the crisis-aware should be reaching out to policymakers at every opportunity.
"It is difficult for Singaporeans to be environmentally sustainable," says Jacelyn, "Because the system isn't set up that way. The responsibility of the rest of us is to change the system so people from all walks of life can subscribe to that without really investing a lot of effort".
But I remain sceptical of this approach.
To solve this problem will require sacrifice, or at least, the relinquishing of many conveniences that we enjoy every day. The reality of the climate crisis is that the poor and disenfranchised are at this very moment being punished for the excesses of the wealthy (that's us, by the way).
After the conversation, two participants discuss the difficulty in promoting sustainability initiatives at their company; some of their biggest clients are linked to the oil industry. The Powers that Be do not plan to go gently into that good night; I wonder if what's required isn't a little more than consumer action.
Of course, I'm asking a lot from us. With any luck, groups like Climate Conversations are just the beginning; as my comrade Poe Dameron said in The Last Jedi, "We are the spark"—and the spark must needs come before the flame.
I'm not made of stone. Despite the bleak outlook, attending Climate Conversations has given me hope; if not hope, then some peace at least. The human is a social creature—it is reassuring to know that you are not alone. We are not alone. All we need to do is fan the flames.
And make no mistake, fire is coming. Half a degree shy, two minutes to midnight, eleven years to go. I've mentioned before that the least we can do about the climate crisis is to talk about it; when talking gets too difficult, Climate Conversations is here to help.
There is still a little time left to mitigate this calamity, and we've got to start acting like it.

I got stuck in the snow yesterday and tried driving out of it turning the wheel back and forth. After this did not work I had my brother help push me out. Immediately after I got out the front right tire was making a high pitched grinding sound when idling in gear. I thought I was snow somewhere, but it continued into the next day when it was warmer and the snow melted. I also noticed it when driving with no acceleration, and once I applied the throttle the sound got louder like a chainsaw. This happens about three to four times in my 30 min commute to work. I do not know what it is; I jacked the car up when I got home today to see if anything was loose, but everything seems sound and tight. Except when I move the wheel forward and back (bumper to bumper) there is some play and it made a kind of clicking sound...... Any advice would help.

Q: TortoiseGit revert failed - unable to revert local changes When I do some modifications on my local environment like removing files or modifying them and in TortoiseGit I click commit and try to revert the changes I can see and error:

Revert failed: error: unable to stat just-written file : No such file or directory

Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be some kind of permissions issues but sometimes this can be fixed by restart of the computer. I would like to find more reliable solution.

A: Git for Windows, the 2.16.0.windows.2 contains several bugs regarding stat (based on  faulty fscache implementation; cf. https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1445).
Git for Windows >= 2.16.1.windows.1 is fixed (cf. release notes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.16.1.windows.1).
PS: For Git >= 2.16 you need at least TortoiseGit 2.5.7.

Q: CSS transform vs position Can some please explain to me the difference in transitioning the positional left or right properties or the -transform: translateX(n), as the both seem to achieve the same thing yet can be applied independently. I understand about the possibility of hardware acceleration but that's dependent on implementation.
// psuedo code;

#box {
    -transition-property: all;
    -transition-duration: 1s;
}

// javascript

box.style.transform = "translateX(200px)";
vs
box.style.left = "200px";

What's the advantage of one over the other?
Thanks,
p

A: top and left CSS properties work only on elements positioned relative, absolute or fixed. Also, top and left properties rely on the parent's position (relative it, absolute or static). Translations are not affected by that settings.

Translation transformations are "identical" to applying top and left when element has position: relative. In any other case they aren't the same operations.

A: The drawing order of rendering layers is:

*

*layout layer

*paint layer

*compositor layer

A redraw in a layer will trigger redraw in subsequent layers.
Changing left or margin will trigger a redraw in layout layer (which, in turn, will trigger redraws in the other two layers) for the animated element and for subsequent elements in DOM.
Changing transform will trigger a redraw in compositor layer only for the animated element (subsequent elements in DOM will not be redrawn).
The difference in performance (hence in frames per second or, in simple terms, in animation smoothness) is tremendous. Using the first technique will often result in jittery animations even on good machines (when the processor is busy), while the second will likely run smoothly even on systems with limited resources.
Another advantage of using transforms is compositor redraws are heavily optimized (animations to multiple elements result in one redraw for all), while changing layout layer will trigger a redraw after each change of each element.
For a more detailed explanation on rendering techniques and rendering performance I recommend Google's Web Fundamentals.

A: As mention above:
position:relative and translate can achieve the same effect in a different way
position:relative happen in the layout phase which means it can interact with other elements in terms of layout
while translate happens when all the layout process complete, further it even already painted, what is remaining is a matter where to put the element, so it has no interaction with the existing layout
consider the following example which will present an obvious visual difference by using the two methods
    .container {
        width: 300px;
        height: 300px;
        overflow: scroll;
        background: red;
    }

    .child {
        width: 280px;
        height: 280px;
        background: green;
    }

By setting position:relative;top:100px to the child element, the container has no enough space to hold the child, and because of the fact that overflow is set as scroll, the scroll bar will present
On the other hand, By setting transform:translateY(100px), it has nothing to do with the layout, so the scrollbar will not present
Like the spec said:

However, if relative positioning causes an 'overflow:auto' or
'overflow:scroll' box to have overflow, the UA must allow the user to
access this content (at its offset position), which, through the
creation of scrollbars, may affect layout

To conclude, position is involved in layout, while transform not, which means transform can have better performance.
prefer transform to position when the layout is not your concern

A: Position is dependant on what the position is set to, transform works from the element itself. So you could see transform as being identical to position:relative;.
However, you can still use transform on an absolutely positioned element (to position it relatively without needing an additional element or resorting to margins), as well as transform being CSS3 so if you can use position instead you should.


Everyone knows that Google has been a strong advocate for high quality search results. Google wants visitors to get exactly what they are searching for on the first try. Google has done extensive work to understand the searcher's intent.
In contrast, website owners tend to want their site to show up on the first page, regardless of intent. A website manager will care less that the match is high quality, hoping to attract more traffic… favoring quantity rather than quality. As a result, the "SEO industry" has earned an unfavorable reputation by being less than honest about the keywords they post.
Google has had to deal with "Search Engine Spam" polluting their search results for years. In studying this problem, Google discovered that secure websites tend to have higher quality, more authoritative content, and come from high quality sources. Since discovering and announcing this correlation, Google has been pushing toward a secure internet.
In a major step forward, Google has announced that they have started using HTTPS as a ranking signal.
This means that websites that use secure, encrypted connections (SSL) will get a boost in search results. Google's commitment to making the Internet safer is well known so the change did not come as a surprise to anyone.
Google says that they are using HTTPS as a "lightweight" signal for the time being but results have been very positive and they may consider strengthening this signal in the near future.
SSL now helps with organic search rankings, which means that you get a boost in free traffic.
A secure website instills trust. When users feel safer, they are a lot more likely to convert.
SSL helps grow your bottom line. If you get more traffic and the traffic you get is more likely to convert it means that you can grow your bottom line faster.
So, check out HTTPS options with your website manager. If you are using Alpine, we have plenty of options. Email if you have questions.

Normandie Pitcher Pitcher
This is a pitcher. It was designed by Peter Müller-Munk and manufactured by Revere Copper and Brass Company. It is dated 1935 and we acquired it in 2014. Its medium is chromium, brass. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
One of Müller-Munk's most prominent designs, the teardrop-shaped Normandie pitcher is distinguished by its streamlined elegance. It takes its name and shape from the SS Normandie—a French cruise ship that embarked on its first transatlantic voyage in 1935—the same year the pitcher was introduced. The pitcher is made of a single sheet of chromium-plated brass that is bent, bringing the slightly upswept ends together, then finished with a thin border of metal to create a very efficient spout.

US issues waiver for defence cooperation with Morocco
Move comes as US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman visits Rabat and expresses support for Morocco's plan for 'autonomy' in Western Sahara
Morocco's Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman (L) give a joint press conference following their meeting in Rabat on 8 March, 2022 (AFP)
Sean Mathews
Published date: 8 March 2022 22:27 UTC | Last update: 10 months 3 weeks ago
US defence funds will continue to support Morocco's participation in joint military exercises, after the administration of President Joe Biden moved to clear a hurdle to the relationship put in place by Congress last year following concerns over Western Sahara.
"The Secretary of Defense has just signed a waiver that allows U.S. Africa Command to continue cooperation and training with Morocco," Bardha Azari, a spokeswoman for US Africa Command, told Middle East Eye.
"Our military partnership with Morocco is strong, and we are confident this unshakable partnership will continue to flourish in the years ahead," she added.
Morocco is a major non-Nato ally and a close partner with Washington on counterterrorism operations. It participates in more than 100 military exercises with the US each year. Along with Tunisia and Senegal, it co-hosts Africa Lion - the largest military exercise in Africa.
'The fact that funding for military exercises has now been waived is a signal... I think it will speed up the process of arms sales'
- Edward Gabriel, former US ambassador to Morocco
Last year, Congress passed an amendment to US defence legislation, known as the National Defense Authorisation Act (NDAA), that sought to limit funds supporting Morocco's participation in any multilateral exercise administered by the Department of Defense.
The amendment allowed for funds to be released only if the secretary of defence, in coordination with the secretary of state, certified Rabat was committed to pursuing a "mutually acceptable political solution in the Western Sahara".
It also included a carve-out allowing a waiver to be issued on national security grounds.
The move was led by Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy and Republican Jim Inhofe over the Trump administration's recognition of Morocco's claim of sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for Rabat's normalisation of ties with Israel.
Western Sahara is a sparsely populated territory that was annexed by Morocco in 1975 after the end of Spanish colonial rule.
Rabat controls about 80 percent of the territory with the remaining landmass under the governance of the Polisario Front, a rebel movement which established the self-declared Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in 1973.
Around 175,000 Sahrawi refugees live in camps across the border in Algeria. Rabat accuses its neighbour, and arch-rival, of arming the rebels, a charge Algeria denies.
'Not a priority for Biden'
The Biden administration has been treading carefully on Western Sahara, with officials saying there was "no change" in the US position, but refusing to flat-out recognise Morocco's claim of sovereignty.
"We are in this kind of purgatory of US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty," Geoff Porter, founder of North Africa Risk Consulting, told MEE.
While the White House has stalled plans to open a US consulate in Dakhla, it unveiled an undivided map in January that included the Western Sahara in Morocco's borders.
Analysts say the administration's main efforts have centred around the appointment of new UN special envoy for the Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura - formerly the UN special envoy for Syria.
"The administration invested as many resources as possible in appointing a new UN envoy and it wasn't an easy task," Ricardo Fabiani, North Africa director at the International Crisis Group, told MEE.
"Once that was accomplished, they backed off. Western Sahara is not a priority for the administration. They do not see it as a serious risk to regional security or their own national security," he added.
And following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration has been trying to patch up strained ties with its Middle Eastern and North African allies. US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman visited Morocco on Tuesday as part of a long-planned trip to the region.
'Speed up the process of arms sales'
In a meeting with Morocco's foreign minister, Sherman voiced support for Morocco's autonomy plan for the Western Sahara as "serious, credible, and realistic, and a potential approach to satisfy the aspirations of the people of the region".
The Polisario Front has demanded a referendum, which the UN also envisioned in 1991 when it mediated a truce between the two sides.
It would include questions over independence for the territory. But that vote has gained little traction as Rabat and the Polisario have conflicting visions over who makes up the indigenous population and should be allowed to vote.
Ghost towns, rockets and drones: Polisario's war in Western Sahara
Edward Gabriel, a former US ambassador to Morocco, told MEE that Sherman's visit was a sign of the strength of bilateral ties - despite some of the recent stumbling blocks in Congress.
"This is a very important relationship for both countries and that's why the move to issue a waiver on military exercises doesn't surprise me," he said.
Morocco is also looking towards the US as it continues with a rapid modernisation of its military. In October 2020 the two countries signed a ten-year defence cooperation agreement.
The US already provides the county with 90 percent of its arms imports and Rabat recently purchased Patriot missiles and 25 new F-16 aircraft from Washington.
One sale that has slowed is the purchase of four MQ-9B SeaGuardian drones and precision-guided munitions. Congress has yet to be officially notified of the deal, and a State Department spokesperson refused to comment on it.
Gabriel said the waiver on military exercises could provide a boost to arms sales. "The fact that funding for military exercises has now been waived is a signal to Congress and Morocco that they will be dealing with them [Rabat] on military matters," he said.
"I think it will speed up the process of arms sales."

Hersham Service Station already has an outstanding reputation for car repairs and car servicing. This reputation has won us many clients from the nearby West Molesey area, who come to us for servicing and repair work instead of using local main dealership garages. While we are proud of our record in providing top-level maintenance work for so many West Molesey customers, we are equally proud of our approach to MOTs and MOT testing.
Class IV MOTs cover multiple vehicle types including three-wheeled vehicles, passenger cars, motorhomes, quad bikes, private hire vehicles, ambulances, dual purpose vehicles and goods vehicles up to a gross design weight of 3,000kg. The Class IV (A) category is suitable for West Molesey clients with 9 to 12 seats and includes a seat belt installation check.
Class V MOTs cover private and passenger vehicles with 13 to 16 seats, those with more than 16 seats and play buses. The Class V (A) category provides testing for similar vehicles, but also includes a seat belt installation check similar to the Class IV (A) category.
Class VII MOTs are solely for West Molesey customers with goods vehicles in the 3,000kg to 3,500kg design gross weight range, and is popular with many of our fleet clients.
MOTs can be combined with full or interim car servicing at our popular workshop. Independent garages such as our own are able to provide discounted prices on combined testing and car servicing, something which main dealership garages in the West Molesey area are rarely able to do they still have to absorb the cost of unpaid warranty work. Even our MOTs alone are provided far below the recommended DVSA price.
And, if you need us for car repairs, we're here to help with all the latest technological advancements. We use the same diagnostic equipment as dealership garages to read stored codes in your ECU. Customers in West Molesey can have complete confidence in our car repairs, and the equipment we use is approved by Bosch and many major manufacturers.

British Prime Minister David Cameron on Sunday announced that a new government law will require universities to publish statistical data on admissions by gender, class and ethnic backgrounds.The move comes as a response to criticisms that students from the 'wrong' backgrounds were under-represented at elite universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, Xinhua news agency reported.Downing Street said in a statement: "Under the proposal, all universities will have a new 'transparency duty', part of a drive to highlight those institutions failing to improve access."
"There are currently huge discrepancies in the offers made by universities to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2014, just 27 black students entered Oxford University out of an intake of more than 2,500, and only one in ten of the poorest white working class boys enter higher education."Under the duty, which will be introduced in legislation, wide-ranging data will be published showing the ethnic, gender and socio-economic breakdown for applications, entry, and retention in key disciplines at all higher education institutions.
Government Business Secretary Sajid Javid said: "This new transparency duty will highlight where progress is being made and where institutions could do much more. Only by working together can we tear down barriers and create a genuine level playing field for those with the potential to study at our world-class universities."

Stock Market: Wall Street closes higher, bargain hunting and confidence in the US economy
(Photo: Getty Images)
MARKET REVIEWS. The New York Stock Exchange closed higher on Thursday, buoyed by bargain hunting and sentiment that while the US economy is slowing, it remains well positioned.
A broad rally led by the technology and materials sectors helped the Toronto Stock Exchange close higher on Thursday, as investors continued to interpret comments from the Bank of Canada and looked for signs that interest rates are beginning to slow. the economy and curb inflation.

Stock indices at closing
In Toronto, the S&P/TSX closed with a rise of 318.09 points (+1.54%) to 21,031.81 points.
In New York, the S&P500 it rose 75.59 points (+1.84%) to 4,176.82 points.
the nasdaq it finished 322.44 points (+2.69%) at 12,316.90 points.
the DOW it rose 435.05 points (+1.33%) to 33,248.28 points.
the loon increased US$0.0053 (+0.6753%) to US$0.7954.
the oil it earned $2.16 (+1.87%) at $117.42.
Prayed it rose $23.80 (+1.29%) to $1,872.50.
the bitcoin it rose $714.06 (+2.42%) to $30,275.27.
Thursday's bounce was fueled by bargain buying after two straight sessions of declines, according to Quincy Krosby of LPL Financial. "It's still attractive," he explained.
Technology and growth stocks have particularly benefited from this move, Tesla (TSLA) (+4.68%) in Alphabet (GOOG) (+3.16%), via Amazon (AMZN) (+3.15%).
Target (BF) (ex-Facebook) did even better (+5.42% to $198.86), following a defection on Wednesday, following the announcement of the resignation of number two Sheryl Sandberg, a key figure in the company's transformation. social network into a giant.
The general tone was also pro-tech, according to Quincy Krosby, due to some strong results released this week, mainly from customer relations specialist. Sales force (CRM) (+7.00% to $188.40), which raised its earnings forecast for the full year.
Even the lowering of forecasts for Microsoft (MSFT) (+0.79% to US$274.58), however, one of the most reliable technology groups in terms of results, was not enough to revolutionize the New York market.
The marked appreciation of the dollar penalizes the group's sales abroad, which has led the Redmond (Washington) giant to lower both its billing and profit forecasts for the fourth quarter of its staggered financial year (from April to June).
For Edward Moya, from Oanda, some were also encouraged to take positions before the publication, on Friday by the Ministry of Labor, of the report on US employment.
"Traders expect the labor market to slow down, which could ease inflation fears somewhat," the analyst said.
On Thursday, the ADP firm report reported 128,000 jobs created in May in the private sector, less than half of what economists expected (295,000).
In addition, the figures for April have been revised downwards, going from 247,000 to 202,000 job creations.
"The ADP report has missed the mark for two years," however, Maris Ogg of Tower Bridge Advisors moderated. "I don't think you have to pay much attention to it."
Last ray of sunshine on Wall Street, the announcement by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies in the OPEC+ agreement of a higher-than-expected increase in production in July.
"This is significant," Third Bridge's Peter McNally commented, as "for two years, this is the first deviation from planned increases."
The only ones not to benefit from this acceleration were, unsurprisingly, oil stocks, which are among the few that have done better than float since the beginning of the year.
Known Phillips (COP) (-0.68%), Occidental Petroleum (OXY) (-1.59%) or Marathon Oil (MRO) (-0.57%) so everything ended in the red.
The remote (cloud) computing specialist Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) was penalized (-5.20% to US$14.96) after publishing results slightly below expectations.
The group, born from the spin-off of Hewlett-Packard in 2015, has also lowered its profit forecast for its 2022 financial year.
Wall Street, for its part, welcomed the better-than-expected results of the multi-brand prêt-à-porter group HPV (HPV) (1.91% to US$72.47), driven by the dynamism of the Calvin Klein brand, especially in North America.
The banner of the "meme stocks" movement (shares whose price has been boosted by small owners), Game Stop (GME)gained ground (+10.38% to US$134.00), despite a loss that almost tripled in one year, in parallel with an increase in billing.

Q: maven - building a project without explicitly building another (dependent) project I have two separate maven projects A and B residing in my local repository. A project depends on the jar of B. If I need to build project A successfully, what I do is :
Import both A and B as maven project in Eclipse

*

*Build project B first (to make the jar available in the m2
repository)

*Build project A.

Question :
Is it possible that instead of explicitly import and building project B, I can only import and build project A. Something which can automatically import and build dependent projects)

A: Two main possibilities:

*

*If you are mainly interested in testing, you can checkout both projects into your Eclipse workspace and use "Workspace Resolution", which is a feature of the m2e (Maven) plugin and can be enabled through a right click on the project. It does not make a complete build, but changes in project B will immediately be used by project A as long as you start/handle the  project inside Eclipse.

*If you really need a complete build, think about putting both projects as modules into one multi module project. Then you can build both together and Maven determines the build order. The downside: The projects are now tied together and cannot (at least: should not) be build separately any more.

It's funny how foreigners will cross boiling hot deserts to reach America, but once here, they avoid Americans like the plague and gather in ethnic enclaves where they erase the United States as much as possible. In some balkanized locales of extreme Hispanicity, like Miami, learning to speak English is not necessary and the foreigners can live their entire lives speaking Spanish only.
The newbies never seem to understand that the freedom they see as an American promise is only part of a social contract that is balanced by responsibility. And one responsibility is the expectation of citizens that immigrants assimilate to American values and the English language.
Below, the proposed map of Hispanic mini-territories.
They want to emulate what Asians have done with the likes of Chinatown and Little Tokyo. Proposed communities include Peru Village, Little Venezuela and Paseo Colombia.
Never mind that none of his countrymen live or own businesses in the neighborhood — or the fact that Jimenez has no money to finance the effort and little clue how to make it happen.
Jimenez and other Latino leaders have teamed up to promote a common goal: carving out islands for their communities in Los Angeles' jumbled landscape — Peru Village, Little Venezuela, Paseo Colombia, Guatemalan Mayan Village, Oaxacan Corridor.
Together, they want to emulate what Asians did with Thai Town, Little Tokyo, Filipino Town and Little Bangladesh. Together, they're also hoping to keep Koreatown expansion at bay.
The Latino Economic Empowerment Round Table gathers monthly to strategize about boundaries, city requirements and ways to win favor with neighborhood councils, consulates and elected officials.
The area Jimenez wants to transform — along Western from Santa Monica Boulevard south to Beverly Boulevard — is currently lined with budget furniture stores, pot shops and Thai massage parlors. "For lease" signs hang from at least a dozen storefronts.
He looks past the littered sidewalks to the hills of Griffith Park. They remind him of his native Caracas.
All along Western, Jimenez pictures Venezuelan restaurants and shops, murals and banners, a big Catholic church and a lively bar. He wants to turn a vacant store next to the Smart & Final into a community center called Casa Venezuela.
Before he can set his plan in motion, however, he has to persuade some Venezuelans to move into the area.
The Venezuelan community, among the newest in Los Angeles, has slowly grown over the last five years because of political unrest back home. They are spread countywide and number about 5,000.
By Jimenez's count, 14 live near his target area.
A few months ago, he decided to seek support from the Latino roundtable.
Guiding the group is a contingent from El Salvador, which boasts nearly half a million people in Los Angeles — the second-largest Latino population after Mexicans.
Oscar Dominguez, a businessman and community leader, fought for nearly five years at the city and state levels before winning approval to call a 12-block stretch of Vermont Avenue just north of USC the El Salvador Corridor.
Today, banners in El Salvador's blue and white flag colors hang from light posts. They feature the national bird and flower. Salvadoran businesses line the street, and a nearby elementary school bears the name of a Salvadoran hero.
Before they were able to lay claim to the area last year, Dominguez said, Koreatown proponents had submitted their own plans for it.
That vision is not just a matter of cultural pride.
"It's political recognition, branding, economic strength," said Jan Lin, a sociology professor at Occidental College. Little Tokyo and Koreatown count on multimillion-dollar investments from back home. Chinatown's striking architecture is a magnet for tourists.
But what marks turf, beyond any doubt, is that blue-and-white sign from the city.
In 2009, LaBonge played referee in a debate between those representing Little Bangladesh and Koreatown.
The Bangladesh contingent wanted to claim a 56-square-block area already staked out by Koreatown — although not officially. Koreatown supporters argued that a Bangladesh designation would harm the area's businesses. In the end, Little Bangladesh was scaled back to four blocks.
Until 2006, Los Angeles had no formal process for designating neighborhoods. Now, applicants must submit 500 signatures, along with a solid pitch for why the designation is merited.
"What we don't want to do is to overwhelm other boundaries and have people protesting what was really intended to be a matter of pride," said Councilman Bernard C. Parks, who oversees the committee that weighs each petition.
Los Angeles is considering a designation for Peru Village, the first application submitted by a member of the Latino roundtable. If approved, a piece of Hollywood — a high-traffic stretch of Vine Street from De Longpre Avenue south to Melrose Avenue — would officially become Peru Village.
About 40,000 people with ties to Peru live in Los Angeles County. And while although they may not be in the proposed area, this was the place where the community lived and gathered in the 1960s and '70s, when Peruanos first immigrated, Lizarraga said.
To the southeast, in Westlake, Guatemalans too have a history that goes back decades. But their plan to launch the Guatemalan Mayan Village has more to do with saving their neighborhood from the future.
Community leader Yahir Gaitan Ortiz said he hopes culturally cordoning off the area will drive away the gentrification threatening to displace Guatemalans.
He wants West 6th Street, from South Alvarado Street to South Lucas Avenue, to become a mini Guatemala. Businesses will be painted in vibrant colonial colors and a statue of Tecun Uman, the great Mayan ruler, will guard the entrances of the corridor.
Among the most organized members of the roundtable are those who represent Colombia.
They began searching for a place for Paseo Colombia a year ago, after the consul general in L.A. asked them to create a home base for Colombians in the city.
They chose a spot just west of downtown's financial district after doing a study to find an area that met their wish list: potential for economic growth, off the beaten path, centrally located and needing investment.
The idea is to set aside two blocks and build a Spanish Colonial-style corridor, lined with Colombian restaurants and shops. At the center, they hope to put the Colombian Consulate.
Colombian doctors, accountants, engineers and other professionals are prepared to invest about $4 million to buy land in the zone, Rojas said.
"We don't want people to think we're coming here to invade or take over" the area populated mostly by Central American and Mexican immigrants, he explained.


(NaturalNews) The social media empire Facebook has unveiled some new "features" on its platform in recent days that many allege are a total and compete privacy-breaching nightmare. But one hidden feature, discovered by Nik Cubrilovic, an Australian entrepreneur and writer, that few people are aware of is the fact that Facebook now monitors your online activity, even when you are not logged in to the service.
"Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit," Cubrilovic wrote on a recent blog posting. "The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions" (http://nikcub-static.appspot.com/lo...).
But how many Facebook users will actually know to do this? The site has never announced to its users that it is even tracking them in the first place, let alone given them any instructions on how to "opt-out" of this egregious invasion of privacy.
Facebook, of course, has become infamous for simply changing its site setup, including privacy settings, and leaving it up to users to figure out how to contain their breached information after the fact. It has switched from an "opt-in" approach, where users used to be given the option to "upgrade" to new features, to a much more complicated "opt-out" approach, where Facebook makes drastic changes and leaves it up to users to somehow figure out how to change things back to the way they were (if such an option is even still possible).
"While initially opt-in, the default then seems to be expose everything," says David Vaile, executive director of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, concerning Facebook's "breathtaking and audacious grab for whole life data."
"Facebook, once again, are (sic) doing things that are beyond most users' capacity to understand while reducing their privacy ... the default setting for any site should be 'reveal nothing about me unless I make a specific choice otherwise.'"

Maryland's Toss-Up Governor's Election
Whether it's Brown or Hogan, the state's in a transition mode.
Whoever wakes up as Maryland's governor-elect on Wednesday morning will no doubt feel compelled to hit the pause button. For the next chief executive, whether it's Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown (D) or Larry Hogan (R), will be straddling eight years of transformative social change while ushering in a future of shrinking resources on an undercurrent of discontent. It's a perfect time for a breather.
And for a while, or even a longer stretch if Hogan is elected, the co-governors of Maryland, in deed if not in fact, will be that manic duo of Mikes, the two strongmen of Maryland governance, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller (D-Calvert) and House Speaker Michael Busch (D-Anne Arundel). They are quietly hovering behind the ballot you cast.
Both Brown and Hogan know their ways around the second floor of the State House where the executive suites are spread out under the giant wooden dome. For Brown, election as governor would mean a move across the chessboard-tiled hall to more spacious accommodations. And for Hogan, election would be a homecoming to the marbled surroundings where he served four years as appointments (patronage) secretary to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R).
First comes the transition, kind of a period of suspended animation when everyone fakes humility over the honor of being chosen. The out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new is a daily drizzle of staff appointments, committee formations and policy hints that belie any preparation for the kinds of decisions that have to be made as governor. For whoever assumes the governorship inherits a swatch of IOUs and an electorate that has, after eight years of gonzo governing, suddenly grown disenchanted with the fiscal burden heaped upon them.
Brown is itching to be his own man after eight years of serving as a prop, frankly, because it's legally required. Yet with Brown, the point of departure will not be a bold fingerprint but, as he has promised, a series of study commissions, reviews and reassessments, especially of the tax code.
Brown has said that he wants to make certain the application of the tax burden is fair and balanced at the same time he has promised there will be no new taxes under his administration, a worrisome pledge he will likely regret but find a cause to blame. Much of Brown's blather was reactionary to Hogan's compelling meme of over-taxation.
Hogan, too, has been preoccupied with taxes as the fulcrum of his campaign and the issue aimed pointedly at Brown as an accomplice in their enactment. Hogan will be busy, as well, with studies and reviews as he thrashes about to fulfill his promise to ferret out waste in government and to cut some of the 40 taxes, by his count, that were imposed by the departing Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), especially the reviled and sardonically dubbed "rain tax," levied on nine watershed subdivisions under federal EPA dictate to help sanitize the Chesapeake Bay.
Hogan will discover the hard way, and there's a suspicion that he already knowingly winks, that Maryland's budget is necessarily a pretty lean product. O'Malley, to his credit, has done a workman-like job of pruning the budget during the lingering recessionary downturn that marked many of his years in office and he has kept the annual average growth rate down to a manageable three percent. More to the point, fully 80 percent of the budget is mandated, a hands-off formula that requires an act of legislative ju-jitsu to undo.
The governor, along with the General Assembly, must often choose among programs that are desirable and those that are essential. The centerpiece of Brown's campaign has been the expansion of pre-K for every child in Maryland. This is an expensive proposal, the liberal cause du jour as a way of leveling the sandbox, in the hundreds of millions of dollars for which no funding source has been advanced, except for Brown's suggestion that he'll pay for the program out of casino proceeds. Casino revenue, as every recent study shows, is a source of diminishing returns.
Hogan has been less expansive, though he says he supports the broadening of pre-K. He had also been accused of planning to cut the school construction program, which varies from year to year anyway, but has promised not to cut a cent from the funds that help build and maintain local schools. It is underwritten through the sale of bonds. So in a sense, Brown is far more radical than Hogan, though you'd never believe it by the trashy campaign Brown ran against Hogan.
The environment is another point of departure, denoted as much by political party as it is by empirical evidence. Brown clings to the liberal line of continuing the current policy of decontaminating the Bay and treading cautiously on exploration for energy sources.
Hogan, to the contrary, believes the blame for Bay toxins is misplaced and overstated. And, above all, Hogan wants to frack, shorthand for the controversial hydraulic fracturing of shale. "We're sitting on a gold mine," Hogan has said of drilling for natural gas on Western Maryland land.
And forget about reproductive rights and controls on gun ownership. They're already state law and changing them is almost impossible, though many remain suspicious of Hogan's true motives. Voters know that Brown is in the pocket of unions; it remains to be seen whether Hogan will bend over for business even though he has promised corporate tax breaks, an adjustment Brown would likely follow to assuage the business community and to shuck the pro-tax mantle that he inherits.
So much for promises, policies and politics. Truth be told, Maryland is in a transitional mode. It is traveling an undetermined path from a state that relied heavily on government grants and employment to an uncertain future that has yet to be established. The clucking you hear in the distance is the sound of chickens coming home to roost: Maryland's economy is not as diverse as it was once cracked up to be.
The state's economy suffered greatly during the cutbacks in federal spending. Maryland's unemployment rate is 6.3 percent, above the national average of 5.9 percent. And there are, at last count, 502,200 people on government payrolls, according to reports. For decades, the Maryland unemployment rate was always lower than the federal number because of the federal presence in the state. The threshold figure for government employment was 26 percent of the total workforce, a chronic dependency that is petering out.
To begin with, the budget that will be introduced in January will be largely O'Malley's handiwork because of the synchronicity of the budget deadline and the inauguration of the new governor, both dates fixed by law. The incoming governor's imprint, if any, is usually made later through budget amendments and supplemental budgets.
Right now Maryland has a $450 million shortfall in revenue because of a drop-off in income tax collections, a result of the high unemployment rate and the number of people who have left the workforce. The state, once again, is facing a structural deficit.
Maryland has about reached its bonding capacity and in order to continue selling general obligation bonds at low interest rates the state's share of the property tax would have to be increased. And not long ago, the state's transportation fund was so depleted that it lacked the bonding capacity to pay for the BWI-Thurgood Marshall expansion of the Southwest Airlines terminal. The state was forced to use MEDCO revenue bonds to finance the deal.
So don't start talking about mandates. There's only one mandate in the State House—24 votes in the Senate and 71 in the House. If you have those numbers, you can get a lot done. Without them, you're toast.
And here's a final tip: forget about fussing over the mansion in public or in the media. It's yours for four years. Enjoy it. And, above all, avoid over-use of the line about the mansion being the peoples' house. Remember, the people can reclaim it in four years.

FREEDOM SINGERS
Interview- Civil Rights' music by Jason Gross
"The excellent recent PBS documentary The Black Church covered not only the obvious racial and religious aspects of the church but also its vital political and musical aspects, with the latter two coming together in the Civil Rights Movement. In the early '60s, as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) looked to gather members and momentum, one of the crucial ways to spread the word was through song, and one of their chief messengers was a vocal group called the Freedom Singers."
FRED NEIL
'60's folk archive find by Tony Ruiz
"'38 McDougal,; the latest Fred Neil official release comes from Mark Linn''s Delmore Recording Society label, brings us "the singer-songwriter of the singer-songwriters," recorded in between the difficult Bleecker And McDougal sessions (Elektra, 1965). Unleashed first in November 2020 on clear vinyl format and now on CD and digital formats, '38 McDougal' contains eight songs from a reel to reel tape stored for decades by guitarist Pete Childs."

LES RALLIZES DENUDES- their pre-terrorist psychedelic roots by Daniel Hess
"'Atonal, hypnotic cacophony' does not even begin to describe the symphonic numbness your ears will experience while listening to Les Rallizes Denudes. With that simple enticing opening, the music is but yet a small fraction of the mystery, infamy, and legacy that this group holds in their home country of Japan."

GOOSE LAKE FESTIVAL
Detroit's version of Woodstock by Bob Gersztyn
"This August 7 – 9, 2021 it will be the 51 year anniversary of the Goose Lake International Music Festival held in Jackson, Michigan. It is the biggest concert event to take place in Michigan to date. It was the peak of the hippie era and the festival was a celebration of the youth during the middle of the war in Vietnam with the draft and chaotic civil unrest."
Sweet folk nostalgia via the Fabs by Kurt Wildermuth
"Hopkin is revered, but she doesn't have a cult. Partly that's because in those years she didn't write her own songs. And partly it's because some of her material--or rather material apparently foisted on her by Svengali producers--was on the sugary or sentimental side. She is best remembered for her hit version of Boris Fomin and Gene Raskin's celebration of nostalgia, 'Those Were the Days.'"
LES RALLIZES DENUDES
Psychedelic musical terrorism by Daniel Hess
"As one might expect from reading over the tumultuous existence of Les Rallizes Denudes, the music they produced has a style all its own. One that, upon first listen, may seem hard to penetrate, but opens up and is truly rewarding on repeated listens. It can best be described as having a hard shell to crack, but once you break through, you'll discover music that comes from a darkly sweet plane of existence, that is utterly genuine in its uncompromising vision. Les Rallizes Dénudés never produced a proper studio album."

NIH Rare Diseases : 53 22q11.2 duplicationsyndrome is a condition caused by an extra copy of a small piece of chromosome 22 which contains about 30 to 40 genes. The features of this condition vary widely, even among members of the same family (intrafamilial variability). Affected individuals may have intellectual or learning disability, developmental delay, slow growth leading to short stature, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Many people with the condition have no apparent physical or intellectual disabilities. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. While many affected people inherit the condition from a parent, others are affected due to having a new mutation that occurs for the first time. In either case, the condition can be passed on to children. Researchers are working to determine which duplicated genes may contribute to the developmental delay and other problems that sometimes affect people with this condition. The duplication is not detectable by karyotype and most cases are identified by a technique known as chromosomal microarray. Treatment depends on the symptoms in each person and includes an individualized educational program.
Genetics Home Reference : 25 22q11.2 duplication is a condition caused by an extra copy of a small piece of chromosome 22. The duplication occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated q11.2.

Title: Daily monitoring of vegetation conditions and evapotranspiration at field scale by fusing multi-satellite images
Description: Vegetation monitoring requires frequent remote sensing observations. While imagery from coarse resolution sensors can provide daily observations, they lack spatial detail to capture surface features for vegetation monitoring. The medium spatial resolution (10-100m) sensors are suited to capturing surface details at field scale, but a long revisit cycle has limited its use in describing daily surface changes. In this presentation, data fusion approaches will be examined. The systems for building daily vegetation index and evapotranspiration at field scale using multi-satellite images will be introduced. Recent applications including vegetation phenology mapping, drought monitoring and crop yield estimation will be demonstrated.
Biography: Dr. Feng Gao is a Research Physical Scientist with the Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. He was a Research Associate Professor at the Department of Geography, Boston University and a Research Scientist with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Earth Resources Technology, Inc. His current research interests include vegetation phenology mapping, vegetation condition and water use monitoring, and crop yield estimation at field scale using multi-satellite data fusion approach.

Title: SAR time series for vegetation monitoring
Description: In studying the Earth's processes from space, the information we seek is very often carried by patterns of change. This is particularly true for SAR data, for which many of the applications rely explicitly on the use of multitemporal data. However, the issues in exploiting multitemporal SAR are not to do with missing data, atmospheric correction or varying sun conditions as for optical data, but arise from the physics of microwave interactions with the surface and the impacts this has on the information content, interpretation and handling of the data. This paper presents approach to monitor changes in vegetation cover and to retrieve vegetation parameters with a temporal sequence of SAR data, taking into account the perturbations caused by environment effects and by the SAR speckle noise. The illustrations will be provided on the use of time series SAR data for forest monitoring and for paddy rice monitoring.
Biography: Thuy Le Toan is leading the biomass research group at the Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère,Toulouse.

Title: Monitoring of soil moisture and vegetation dynamics with ASCAT and Sentinel-1
Description: Active microwave measurements of the land surface as acquired by Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs) or scatterometers are very sensitive to the water content in the soil and vegetation. Given that both variables are highly variable in time, it is important to observe the surface frequently in order to understand and disentangle the effects of soil moisture and vegetation on the backscattered signal. Unfortunately, past SAR missions have only been able to acquire a few measurements per month or year over one particular region. The new constellation of Sentinel-1 satellites represents a significant advance as the identical SAR instruments onboard the two satellites will cover the land surface every three to six day (over Europe and other hotspot regions) and six to twelve days over the remaining land surface areas. While this is sufficient to characterize vegetation dynamics, this is still not enough to capture the temporal variability of soil moisture. Therefore, only when Sentinel-1 are used in combination with scatterometer data (such as provided by the Advanced Scatterometer ASCAT) it becomes possible to capture the full spatio-temporal dynamics of soil moisture and vegetation. In presentation, I will discuss the complementary nature of Sentinel-1 SAR and ASCAT observations, highlighting the significant benefits of using the two sensors systems in a synergistic way to derive soil moisture and vegetation.
Biography: Wolfgang Wagner is professor for remote sensing at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria, head of the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation of TU Wien, and co-founder and head of science of the Earth Observation Data Centre for Water Resources Monitoring (EODC).

Joanne Nightingale
Organisation: National Physical Laboratory
Title: A framework for Establishing Confidence in Earth Observation Datasets
Description: Earth Observation satellites are increasingly used to monitor the environment, measure variability and change, inform evaluations of climate models and manage natural resources. Although EO data and products are plentiful, it is still rare for them to have reliable and fully traceable (end-to-end) information concerning their quality. Here we will expore the concepts required to develop internationally robust quality assurance procedures and gather standardised QA information on all EO data products. The key purpose being to enable more meaningul product comparisons and ensure that data users have the necessary information to make informed decisions concerning the data chosen for their climate applications.
Biography: Dr Nightingale joined the National Physical Laboratory (UK) in 2013 from NASA's Goddard Space Flight center and has over 10 years of experience in coordinating Earth Observation System global land product validation activities. Joanne chaired the CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation, sub-group for Land Product Validation from 2010 - 2013. Joanne obtained her Ph.D. in Geography and Remote Sensing from the University of Queensland in Australia and completed two post-doctoral research positions at universities with in the United States. Her research interests include assessing the quality and validity of information about the terestrial biosphere from Earth observation satellites.

Title: Remotely Sensed Resilience of Tropical Forests
Description: Recent work suggests that episodes of drought and heat can bring forests across climate zones to a threshold for massive tree mortality. Across complex systems, the vicinity of a threshold for collapse tends to come with a loss of resilience as reflected in declining recovery rates from perturbations. Trees may be no exception, as at the verge of drought induced death, trees are found to be weakened in multiple ways affecting their ability to recover from stress. Here we use world-wide time series of satellite images to show that temporal autocorrelation, an indicator of slow recovery rates, rises steeply as mean annual precipitation declines to levels known to be critical for tropical forests. This implies independent support for the idea that such forests may have a tipping point for collapse at drying conditions. Moreover, the demonstration that slowing down may be detected from satellite data suggests a novel way to monitor resilience of tropical forests, as well as other ecosystems known to be vulnerable to collapse. With the advent of Sentinel-1 and 2 satellites new opportunities arise to derive accurate and near operational forest resilience measures.
Biography: Jan Verbesselt is associate professor in remote sensing at Wageningen University, Laboratory of Geo-information Science and Remote Sensing. He focusses at measuring and understanding ecosystem dynamics by developing novel spatio-temporal methods to detect, monitor and forecast changes using remotely sensed data from in-situ, terrestrial- and airborne LiDAR, and satellite sensors. The application of remotely sensed images for ecological modelling, and collaborative earth science for assessing vegetation, climate, and human impacts take a central place. He is the author of an open-source toolkit, BFAST, providing functionality to detect, monitor and characterise change within satellite image time series ( http://bfast.r-forge.r-project.org/).

Successful launch for the IMOCA Globe Series for the 2018-2021 period

Successful launch for the IMOCA Globe Series
An exciting and hard fought new race, the first event in the Globe Series, the new IMOCA world championship for the 2018-2021 period, lived up to its promise. In conditions that can only be described as typical of the Mediterranean, as the weather was unreliable and demanded a lot of the sailors, the nine pairs competing went through nine technical and stressful days. After setting sail from Monaco last Sunday, the IMOCAs raced in a magnificent setting and everyone enjoyed themselves out on the water. They headed towards the Strait of Bonifacio before rounding Sardinia from east to west and then headed back up to the Golden Isles, returning to the Principality in a long Mediterranean coastal race.
Paul Meilhat and Gwénolé Gahinet winners of this "crazy race"
They were the favourites in the Monaco Globe Series and managed to confirm those predictions. Aboard SMA, Paul Meilhat and Gwénolé Gahinet warded off the attacks from the determined crews behind them, starting with Fabrice Amedeo and Eric Péron, who remained very threatening on their foiler, Newrest – Art & Fenêtres. "It was extremely physical and tough on the nerves," explained Meilhat, who won the Bermuda 1000 Race just a few weeks ago. "It reminded me of what I experienced racing on a Figaro in the Mediterranean. In terms of the race, it was crazy with a lot of action. Whether you were ahead or behind, it was never over. But there's nothing more interesting in terms of adrenaline. You feel alive when you race in the Med!"
Still in with a chance of winning last night, Fabrice Amedeo and Eric Péron had a great race, but in the end had to make do with third place. Fabrice Amedeo: "We may be a bit disappointed, as we almost made it to second place. But upwind, in five knots of wind and with no daggerboard, it wasn't going to be easy to keep with boats like SMA and Monin. What we will remember however is that we were up with the frontrunners in this battle from start to finish and we were the first foiler to cross the line."
The mixed pairings in the best of shape
Isabelle Joschke and Alain Gautier (Monin) never eased off and in fact overtook their rivals just a few miles from the finish in Monaco to take second place. A strong performance rewarding a well-managed race. Another mixed double pairing also did particularly well in the Monaco Globe Series. Aboard Kilcullen Team Ireland, the Irish skipper, Joan Mulloy took fourth place along with Thomas Ruyant, who was back on the IMOCA, aboard which he took part in the last Vendée Globe.
Contests at every level with nine boats safely home
Further back, two double-handed crews fought it out like cat and dog to make it to the top five. Respectively seventh and eighth yesterday evening, Boulogne Billancourt (Stéphane Le Diraison/Stan Maslard) and Groupe Setin (Manu Cousin/Alan Roura) clawed their way back during what was a decisive final night to finish fifth and sixth in Monaco. "This was a useful experience for the future of Groupe Setin, as I'll know better now how to get the most out of the boat. I've been throwing everything at this project and that will be continuing in the future," said a smiling Manu Cousin at the finish.
Two crews sailing IMOCAs with foils suffered in the Mediterranean weather and have to make do with a result that is probably below what they were hoping for. Malizia II (Boris Herrmann/Pierre Casiraghi) and Bureau Vallée 2 (Louis Burton/Arthur Hubert) crossed the finishing line in seventh and eighth place. Pierre Casiraghi: "It was really a fantastic race with lots of ups and downs. It was tough once we'd passed the Strait and we really had to fight hard to climb back up towards Port-Cros with the gaps narrowing within the fleet. The Mediterranean lived up to its promise with a wide range of extremely varied conditions. It was a race that was exciting and an incredible experience."
Alexia Barrier and Pierre Quiroga brought up the rear this afternoon (Thursday) in spite of their brave efforts on 4MyPlanet2, the oldest boat in the fleet (launched back in 1998). All of the boats competing in the Monaco Globe Series are now safely back in port.

There's no time to photograph Yellowstone National Park quite like sunrise, when the steam rises up from the Madison River, almost evoking the smoke from the park's fiery past (and maybe future, given that it's a supervolcano and all). The fisherman in the distance adds a little much-valued perspective to the scene.
About two months before we officially became roommates, my friend Paul and I took a trip to Island Park, during which he convinced me to head into Yellowstone and shoot the sunrise for the first time. Though I'd make a pre-sunrise hike up the mountainside behind my family cabin many times, this was the first time I'd actually driven into the park pre-dawn for pictures. This image of fresh sunlight pouring onto the Madison River helped me stake out a brand-new tradition.
One of my favorite "mists rising from the Madison River before sunrise" shots from one of several morning shoots in Yellowstone National Park. Thanks to a voucher my sister and brother-in-law got me for Christmas one year, this shot became a nice canvas print.
When I was eleven years old, my family visited Yellowstone National Park in the middle of the historic fires of 1988. We were actually forced to re-route out the north entrance of the park when the fires jumped the road coming in from West Yellowstone, and the trip has become one of the most well-remembered of many, many visits to the area over the years. This may be my favorite example of an image that still shows the aftermath of that now-thirty-year-old summer.
