UCLA players and coach Cori Close rejoice at their third seed during Selection Monday. Photo courtesy of UCLA Athletics.
Cheers greeted the traditional roll call of team names on Selection Monday.
Around the country, Division I teams were named, seeded and placed into the NCAA Tournament bracket in preparation for opening day on Friday. Unlike some years past there were few, if any surprises.
At UCLA, the 24-8, third-seeded Bruins learned that they'd host rounds one and two of the Bridgeport regional, and that they'd face Hawaii in Saturday's first match up. Power house South Florida will take on Colorado State in game two.
UCLA coach Cori Close, whose teams have played in the Tournament before, called the invitation "a privilege that never gets old." She said the Bruins relished the chance to play on their home floor.
Close isn't looking any further ahead than one game.
UCLA ended the regular season in roller coaster fashion, as they soared to an overtime Pac-12 Tournament semifinal win in dramatic fashion, and were crushed by Oregon State the next night in the championship game. Close said she takes responsibility for not bringing the team "back down to Earth" in time for the title game. Star guard Jordin Canada called it a learning experience.
Last year the Bruins won the WNIT. Canada said it was exciting to see UCLA selected live on national television.
Though UCLA will have to learn Hawaii as a team, Canada already knows guards Briana Harris and Destiny King – both Southern California natives like herself – from her club ball days.
Texas got their highest seed in many years in the Bridgeport bracket, at No. 2. Like the Bruins, the Longhorns get to host this weekend. Coach Karen Aston is excited about both the, and the program's progress.
Aston is also guiding her players to take on one game at a time and not look ahead.
BYU won the regular season West Coast Conference title, but were upset in the tournament final by San Francisco. On selection night, they received a No 7 seed, and will play No. 10 Missouri in the Bridgeport regional. Coach Jeff Judkins had jitters Monday.

In the Dallas regional, Oklahoma State was selected and given a No. 7 seed, and will face No. 10 St. Bonaventure. This marks coach Jim Littell's fourth NCAA Tournament appearance with the Cowgirls in as many years at helm of the program.
Littell said earlier this season that he's not coached a closer team in three decades in the business.
Star guard Brittney Martin said the team is very motivated right now.
No. 11 James Madison, the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and tournament champion, will face No. 6 DePaul, who was upset in the Big East Tournament, in the Dallas bracket. Dukes coach Kenny Brooks said it will be a tough challenge that he relishes.
"We know we're playing one of the better teams in the country and one of the better coaches in the country in Doug Bruno. I'm looking forward to that opportunity because he's somebody that I consider a mentor and someone I want to model my program after," Brooks said.
In the Sioux Falls regional, No. 8 George Washington will square off Friday against No. 9 Kansas State in what promises to be a hard-fought match up. The Colonials returned 13 players from last season, when they lost to Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament first round. Coach Jonathan Tsipis said his team has grown a lot in a year, and will be ready for the Wildcats.

Cornell students in front of Willard Straight Hall participate in a worldwide Climate Strike on Sept. 20.
Students have 'eye-opening' experiences at Climate Week NYC
By Blaine Friedlander |
Cornell students met with officials from the Kingdom of Tonga at Climate Week NYC in late September. Lily Bermel '21, Read Barbee '20, master's student Louis Chua, Kevin Li '20 and Katherine Ratner '20 will spend October and November creating a report for Tonga and other Pacific nations that can be used at the forthcoming 2019 United Nations' Conference of the Parties, or COP25, meetings in December in Santiago, Chile.
In New York City, the students – participating in Cornell's Global Climate Change Science and Policy class – met with Tonga's Mahe Tupouniua, secretary of foreign affairs; T. Suka Mangisi, deputy chief of mission; Rose Kautoke, assistant crown council; and Siosiua Utoi'kamanu, Tonga's representative for the U.N.'s Law of the Sea convention.
The Global Climate Change Science and Policy class is taught by Natalie Mahowald, the Irving Porter Church Professor in Engineering; Allison Chatrchyan, senior research associate and director of the Cornell Institute for Climate Smart Solutions; and Jerry Finin, M.R.P. '86, Ph.D. '91, visiting lecturer in city and regional planning.
Bermel said she and her colleagues look forward to creating the report in order to help them address problems associated with climate change.
"This is a life-changing opportunity to be able to work directly with another government of another nation," she said. "This class provides opportunities that are mind-boggling. As students, we literally can make a very real impact."
In addition to the Tonga, students in the climate change class – which is funded by the Office of Engagement Initiatives and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability – will work for other partners this fall: the governments of Armenia and Zambia; and nongovernmental organizations Carbon180, the Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture and the World Bank.
Hannah Contreras '21 and her student colleagues – Kalena Bonnier-Cirone '21, Rae Brigham '19, M.Eng. '19; Zach Koser MBA '20; Sachi Rai '21; and Noah Schulman '20 – met Giana Amador, Carbon 180's managing partner, at a Cornell-sponsored carbon dioxide reduction panel. Together, the students will work with Carbon180 to prepare for their COP25 meetings in Chile.
"This introduction was significant for our collaboration," Contreras said. "[It] added to an already eye-opening experience of direct interactions with alumni and industry professionals shaping carbon dioxide reduction technology and policy at the national level."
More than 25 students from the class attended the International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD), held at Columbia University. The students heard presentations by the World Bank, the U.N. World Food Program and other groups on the need to develop climate services to help farmers manage climate change risks and shared some of Cornell's work on climate smart agriculture.
At the ICSD, Sean McCarthy '20 attended the annual Columbia International Investment Conference. "In essence, it seems the first move is to create the legal environment explicitly in favor of sustainability, but once that is done by the government, businesses and investors must take the helm and coordinate with the government to ensure ethical and sustainable investing and business practices," he said.
Claire Song '21 said that the ICSD showcased real-world impacts of sustainability adaptation and mitigation students discussed in class. Song was impressed with the Indonesian delegation that unveiled major progress in plastic reduction. Said Song: "The overarching takeaways: exposure to a great number of resources for sustainable development education and opportunities."
The weeklong kaleidoscope of climate change-awareness activity kicked off when hundreds of Cornell students gathered at Ho Plaza Sept. 20 to march down to the Ithaca Commons, joining students from Ithaca College and Ithaca High School in the worldwide Global Climate Strike.

t may still be hot outside, but you can't deny the light is slowly changing and the temps are starting to dip just a little. Fall is our favorite season, from the food to the clothes to all the house cozies. We look forward to it every year, and this year we're extra excited because we're finally settled in our house, and it feels like we'll be here a while. It feels like home.
So we thought we'd discuss five ways to get yourself and your house ready for fall. Let's dive in.
Even though we just moved in a little over a year ago, we're making big changes to our master bath with the help of our friends at Delta.
When we renovated our home last year, it was for a television pilot and the filming schedule was STRICT. We had to have everything done in a tight time frame, and because of that, we weren't able to completely renovate our master bath the way we wanted to. We ended up going with two pedestal sinks in lieu of a double vanity because our cabinet maker didn't have time to build the one we designed, and we went with less elevated faucets that were pretty, but not the exact ones we wanted for our master bath.
So here we are, one year later and ready to tackle another renovation, though this time we're just making subtle changes that will have a big payoff. Isn't it crazy how changing one or two things in a room can completely transform a space? We love a good before and after and this one won't disappoint. So let's get right to it!
Our plan is to switch out our old faucets with a new, high-end Delta faucet that will better match the overall feel of this old craftsman style home of ours. We went with mostly traditional, classic style & décor in all of the other rooms in our house, and we want to make sure that cohesiveness is reflected in our master bath as well. For that reason, we're going with the Delta Cassidy Collection. It's more traditional (you know our feelings about traditional styling) and features clean lines & elegant design details, something we desperately wanted for our bathroom. We want the space to have that spa-like quality to it, a place where as soon as we walk in we immediately feel relaxed.
After we decided which collection we were going with, we began to look through the different options. In the end we confidently chose the Two Handle Widespread Bathroom Faucet with cross handles and we're so glad we did!
We felt the classic shape of the cross handles, the beautiful curve of the tall spout, and the chrome finish were the perfect mix of old meets new. They have the glamour and high-end look we were craving and honestly would be something you would have originally seen (or a version of them, at least) when our house was built back in 1924. They won't look out of place and are very much in line with the rest of the design of our house, and that was important to us.
Along with the faucets, we are also replacing the pedestal sinks with a wood stained double vanity for added storage. Like we mentioned, our cabinetmaker wasn't able to get to that in time last year, so we've been living with two sinks that provide absolutely zero storage. We got by adding a small cabinet, which works alright, but even that isn't ideal. It's wobbly, so we leveled it by adding a flossing tool underneath the foot so it doesn't shake. Comical, right?
We're going with a Carrera marble countertop (to match our marble window ledge directly across from the vanity) and finishing the room off with chrome hardware to match the lights and faucets. We are also considering adding a few shelves to the bathroom for even more storage. Maybe above the toilet? Or a long one in the middle of the windows to set plants on? We haven't decided entirely on that just yet, but we'll let you know when we do.
What we DO know, however, is the feel we want our bathroom to have. We want it to feel like an oasis, like we're bringing the outside in. Our biggest inspiration for this reno is water and the way we use it every day. We are going with natural elements with things like the slate-like floor tile, the wooden vanity, and the use of stone in our marble countertops. We plan to incorporate more plants in the finished space, too, to add a touch of nature because let's be honest, every room deserves a little green here and there. To complete the room, we're bringing in new washcloths and towels to freshen the space up.
We are so excited to get started on this project, y'all. The vanity has been built and was just installed a few days ago, and our brand new Delta faucets just came in the mail last week! This has been a year in the making and we can't wait to show you the finished results. Stay tuned to see how it all comes together!
We came across this brownstone this past weekend and haven't been able to get it out of our minds since.
We have a thing for Brooklyn brownstones (the character! the history! the layout!) and this one definitely doesn't disappoint. Is it not the most cozy-cluttered home, but in the best possible way? Loving the library sconces over the bookcases, and how about the chandelier that's shaped like an old pirate ship? Don't even get us started on that fireplace.
It's four stories, has five bedrooms, and is 16.5 ft wide. It was listed for $5.25 million back in Feb 2017 (wonder if it sold?) so it was/is a bit out of our price range, but we can dream can't we?
PS: how to get the style of a Brooklyn brownstone in your own home.
The air has been considerably cooler lately and a false fall seems to be creeping in for a few days. With even the hint of fall, we couldn't help ourselves and did something to accelerate that feeling in our house.
After being here a year, we realized we almost never turn that chandelier on when we're eating. We usually stick to either the overhead recessed lighting or the two sconces on the wall and our two lamps for a cozier, more inviting vibe. Why, you ask? (Assuming you asked us because you're on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next) The reason is because the light our chandelier put off was too. dang. stark. And bright. And harsh. In short, it hurt to look at and definitely didn't feel inviting to eat under when it was on.
Once we realized this we have been on the hunt for the perfect replacement ever since. We also wanted something more substantial. Our old chandelier felt too thin for the room. We needed something a little bulkier. You were beautiful to look at black & wood colored chandelier, but you just weren't the right fit for us.
Enter Hudson Valley Lighting. They have SO many options for every kind of light you can think of: wall sconces. flush mounts, pendants, table lamps, picture lighting, and of course, chandeliers. They offer literally thousands of different products from various companies so you're guaranteed to find the light you're looking for. It was actually really fun to go through all the options until we found the one we felt would look perfect in our dining room. And one of the best parts of the whole process was each chandelier usually has 2-3 different finishes to choose from, so you have some options.
So more on why we chose the chandelier that we did. We were looking for an aged brass chandelier to offset our black sconces that we have above our buffet. We also wanted one that had shades on it to create a cozier atmosphere with more ambient lighting, lighting that would encourage intimate dinners with friends and family. After searching through so many lights, we finally settled on the perfect one.
We ended up choosing the Charlotte chandelier in aged brass and we absolutely love it. It's sophisticated, charming, and puts off the coziest, warm light that's been perfect for late night dinners. Also, aren't the little shades so cute?
If you're looking for your gorgeous lighting options for all rooms of your house you should definitely check out Hudson Valley Lighting. We are so in love with our new chandelier and we can't wait to get more lights for other rooms in our home!
Happy Friday!! How has your week been? PJ has been out of town all week working on an exciting new project with our friend Brian Patrick Flynn. With PJ gone, Thomas has been spending a lot of time with his family and catching up on some much needed house cleaning.
What are you up to this weekend? We have a few friends coming to stay with us, plus PJ gets back into town (!!!) so it should be a fun weekend.
We've been digging some items recently and we can't get them out of our heads. We think you'll like them, too. Check them out below and click the pictures to shop!
This nautical inspired bedside table that we ordered two of for our guest bedroom.
This fun-shaped wooden end table that we also recently got from Wayfair. It's even more beautiful in person.
How fun are these linen pants from Gap? Perfect for summer don't you think?
We've been really into decorating with tans lately, so we can totally see this vase from Target on our bookshelves in our living room.
We're not normally into fake plants, but for $8, you can't beat this faux succulent that looks real enough that no one would even notice.
An oldie but goody, this lamp from Threshold is a cheaper alternative to similar lamps by Pottery Barn and West Elm. We have two of these lamps in our house and love them.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, friend!

Peace tool: Pashto literature lulled by conflict
Study: vernacular literature and art can play a role in peace-building.
By Peer Muhammad
Vernacular literature and art can play a role in peace-building. PHOTO: FILE
ISLAMABAD:
Militancy and terrorism have had a profound impact on Pukhtun society on every level since 9/11. Literature and the arts are no exceptions.
A research study, conducted to measure this overwhelming impact on the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, was launched by the Fata Research Centre (FRC) and its findings were revealed at an event earlier this week.
In his opening remarks FRC President Dr Ashraf Ali said literature depicted a society's values and traditions. "Literature and art are mirrors that we hold up to society. These mirrors reflect our environment, collective values, traditions, practices and beliefs," the FRC president said.
The study titled "Impacts of War on Terror on Pashto Literature and Art" examines how these cultural narratives can play a potential role in peace building, reconciliation and conflict management in Fata.
The total impact of war, specifically the conflict following 9/11, was measured through various factors, including the role of jihadi literature, the inclusion of new words and phrases in Pashto (drones, suicide bombing) and the way Pukhtuns as well as Americans are depicted in local texts. Also, given the region's preoccupation with war, literature and art have taken a backseat, thus reducing their ability to achieve peace.
The report also highlighted how the government could use literary aesthetics, which are largely undervalued, as a tool in solving militancy and extremism.
The data combines the responses of various members of 35 Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) literary societies, including separate interviews of over a dozen poets as well as writers within these.
An overwhelming majority of respondents (97.6%) were of the view that the war on terror had brought changes to Pashto literature while a similar majority (91.2%) agreed that the fighting had an impact on the Pashto language, such as the addition of many new terms like 'suicide bomber' and 'drones,' which were previously unknown to the common man.
With respect to jihadi literature, 59.6% of people surveyed felt that these radical texts were popular among the Pukhtun youth, while 79% of respondents said that Jihadi Tarana was the most prevalent jihadi literature followed by magazines (17%). The study cites mainstream media, such as radio, as a powerful distributer of jihadi ideology.
Around 43% of the people surveyed felt that the most dominant theme in post-9/11 Pukhtun society was religion, followed by nationalism at 32%.
The study also looked at how many people valued the role of literary societies in peace building, with 78% acknowledging their role in enhancing peace.
With regards to the government promoting literature, around 83% of respondents felt not enough was being done.
The survey showed that the Taliban were not popular amongst Pashto writers and artistes.
It further found that the Pukhtun writers, who were initially in favour of the Taliban before 9/11, changed their stance with the emergence of militancy in Fata.
FRC's recommendations for the government included the patronage of poets and writers (financial incentives), organising literary events, revitalising cultural activities, focusing on literary societies, as well as countering the spread of jihadi ideology in the media through poetry/literature programmes aired on mediums like public radio. Keeping in mind the role of international stakeholders in the conflict, the FRC recommended that foreigners should provide financial assistance to promote Pashto language and literature in the region.
ANP Senator Afrasiab Khattak also spoke on the occasion and accused international players and the centre of interfering in the region over the decades and systematically "destroying Pukhtun society."
"This region has been used as a strategic space and Pakisan's state policy towards Fata also remained a callous one," he said, adding that the State of Pakistan has failed to provide a proper judiciary and political system to Fata, which provided opportunity to "non-state actors".
General Secretary of Progressive Writers Association Pakistan Salim Raaz said that Pukhtun have never supported the violent policy of the Taliban, and wherever they got the support it was due to fear.

The Pakistani government can not be trusted with anything in the Pashtun areas as they are the chief initiators ,sponsors and trainers of militancy,Terrorist and anti social forces.
The Last things is to assign duty of the Pakistani government to patronise poets. Poets shoul d be allowed to write about what they do best ,reflecting the maladies and joys and aspirations of the Pashtun people. Pakistani government and its anti democratic miliatry and its agencies have shown they have no credibility among Pashtun or other minorities. Pakistani military or as its known Punjab's army is a divisive and regressive force ,that should be better kept at Rawalpindi or Lahore,

How Nintendo regained its footing with the Switch and smartphones
What a difference a new console makes
As recently as a couple of years ago, Nintendo very much felt like a company at a crossroads. The Wii U presented a rare major misfire for the gaming giant, while its executives stubbornly clung to a strategy that actively excluded smartphones.
The Nintendo of 2018, however, feels newly invigorated. In January, the company announced that the Switch had blown past the Wii's record to become the fastest selling U.S. console, with 4.8 million units moved in 10 months. These days, that number is closer to 5.9 million in the States, with 17.79 million units sold globally as of April, by NPD's count.
"We learned from previous launches," Nintendo executive Doug Bowser (different Bowser) said in an interview with TechCrunch upstairs at the company's E3 booth. "We made sure we launched with great content. And then we've had a steady drumbeat of new titles."
The company addressed that issue with the launch of the flagship Zelda title Breath of the Wild, alongside the console. This time two years ago, the company's booth was awash with Zelda imagery, made up to look like a small-scale version of Hyrule. In 2018, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the clear focus, as its E3 presence has shifted to something more tournament style, with large screens displaying the mega-crossover fighting game.
For the company, those two titles represent the company's first-party play for an "active gamer" segment — a more direct take on the likes of PlayStation and Microsoft. Nintendo's family-friendly approach is still present in those titles it produced in-house, but things have softened a bit, perhaps, when it comes to embracing third-party titles.
"Our goal with Nintendo Switch is to appeal to a broad audience," said Bowser. "That goes well beyond family-friendly titles, and obviously with some of the third-party content we've brought to the platform, there's more mature content. We want to make it accessible, but clearly when it comes to our own IP, it's in a more family-friendly arena."
Today's release of Fortnite for the Switch is a pretty clear example of this. It's a big win for both parties, as the fast-selling console gets access to the large cross-platform title. But even that is a far cry from some of the extreme gore we saw on the big screen last night at Sony's big kick-off event.
For younger players, the 3DS/2DS is still going surprisingly strong for an eight-year-old system. 2017 actually saw a jump in consoles sold over the year prior. "Younger consumers are coming in through our 2DS and 2DS XL platforms," said Bowser. "It's a great entry point for us. As long as consumers are voting, we'll continue to support it."
And for all of its early foot-dragging, mobile has clearly been a boon for the company. First-party games like Super Mario Run and third-party partnerships like Pokémon GO have gone a ways toward spreading the gospel of Nintendo IP. Late last month, Niantic announced that its AR game had hit a staggering 800 million downloads.
The newly announced Switch titles Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee represent another step toward a more open, cross-platform Nintendo, as well. The Poké Ball Plus peripheral lets users capture Pokémon on the mobile title and utilize them into the Switch game. It's a compelling bit of synergy that could point a ways forward, wherein smartphones and the Switch play even more nicely together.

The Haunting of Foulksrath Castle
John Buhler
This Halloween the spirits of the departed will once again walk the land during the night's trick-or-treating. Apparitions will dart from door to door, and small ghosts and ghouls will abound in touristy ?haunted houses.? But what of the real legends of haunting? Places where the dead are said to make themselves known to the living? Let's explore one such place: an Irish castle known as Foulksrath, an imposing structure that I visited during the spring of 2000.
Scattered about Ireland are the remains of as many as 3,000 castles. Most of them were not built by the Irish, but rather symbolize oppression and domination by a foreign presence. For that reason, many of these structures have not been maintained, and some were even purposely destroyed. Their remains stand on lonely cliffs, in the middle of fields, along highways, and even in towns and cities. In some places, only a single wall remains, or perhaps one might find a part of a courtyard invaded by yew trees, gorse bushes, and weeds.
Foulksrath castle, in the southeast corner of Ireland, had also been neglected and in fact was scheduled to be destroyed when An Óige, the Irish Youth Hostel Association, purchased it in 1946. Once a symbol of the overlord's wealth and power, the renovated castle found a new life offering cheap accommodations to budget-minded travellers. That is until recently, when the costs of maintaining the ancient structure forced An Óige to put the site up for sale.
Although the word castle conjures up images of massive stone fortresses with multiple towers and possibly a drawbridge, Foulksrath is actually a tower-house, a smaller castle. Built around 1550, Foulksrath is nevertheless a formidable edifice that even today presides over the peaceful meadows and lush green farmland around it.
Although it is surrounded by a placid and quiet countryside, enclosed within its ancient defensive walls are said to be restless spirits, apparitions that dwell in the tower and from time to time make their presence known to visitors. Tales of these ghosts, told and retold in a variety of ways, added a mystique to the building when it was in use as a hostel. Perhaps they even helped draw curious travellers to a small and somewhat obscure castle in a rural corner of Ireland.
In one well-known legend, it is said that a gaunt and lonely looking dark-haired young lady can often be seen looking out from one of the windows. According to the story, she had fallen in love with a lowly soldier; the relationship was forbidden by her father, who locked her in the tower. However when her father went away to war, she was left completely alone and starved to death. With her eyes forever searching the distant horizon, she waits in vain for someone to release her from her prison.
Though the story of this victim of starvation and desertion creates a haunting image, some versions of the tale rework this legend. Rather than having the lady in the tower starve to death, John Dunne, in A Ghost Watcher's Guide to Ireland (2001), provides us with a happier ending (and a frankly much less captivating tale). According to Dunne, a former lord of the castle locked up his daughter in an effort to prevent her from marrying a local man. With the help of a cuckoo bird, the young lady is somehow rescued from her prison, and later weds her lover.
It is intriguing to speculate whether Dunne, buoyed by contemporary events (including positive signs from the peace process in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic's improved economic situation), reflected the island's new-found optimism in his version of this story. The lovers break from the divisions, deprivations, and violence of Ireland's past and avoid a tragic end to their relationship.
Another Foulksrath tale with differing interpretations is the story of the November footsteps. Dunne also tells us about the eerie footsteps and opening door which are allegedly heard every year on a certain night in November. He doesn't elaborate further, however.
In contrast, Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland, published only a couple years later, gives us a firm date for the annual return of this spirit. It also explains the alleged haunting: the noises, it is said, are associated with an older castle that once occupied the site. That castle was built in the 13th century by a Norman, Fulco De La Frene; the annual visitor is said to be the ghost of a sentry who, while on duty, was found asleep by De La Frene, hoisted up over the battlements, and thrown to his death. According to the legend the sentry, having failed in life to perform his duty, returns every November 29 to take up his post. People claim to have heard feet shuffling along the stairs and the sound of a heavy door opening.
Perhaps the differing versions only add to the eeriness of these stories?or perhaps the inconsistencies are proof that there is no truth to these tales. It is not only collections of ghost stories that report creepy happenings at Foulksrath; for example, it is also said that a BBC crew filming at the location had unusual difficulties with its equipment. Maybe there really is something spooky going on there?
In any case, during my one night at the Foulksrath hostel, I encountered no apparitions, heard no inexplicable noises, felt no shivers down my spine. Nevertheless, I am still fascinated by the ghost stories of Foulksrath: how they change and take on lives of their own, and the status that they still provide to the old tower.

Develop a radical technology to reduce the carbon intensity of cement.
Cement is a US$170bn industry supplying 2.9 billion tonnes of cement to support global economic development every year. Supply is expected to grow at 3-5% per annum, particularly driven by development needs in India and China.
However, the cement production process accounts for up to 5% of man-made emissions of CO₂, making the industry one of the largest industrial emitters. Production of one tonne of ordinary Portland cement, the most widely used type of cement, emits an average of 800kg of CO₂. Of the total emissions created in the cement production process, 50% derive from the raw material used (calcium carbonate), 45% from the fossil fuels needed to drive the main chemical reaction and the remaining 5% are from transport.
The cement industry acknowledges a need to embrace lower carbon solutions; see the recent Cement Sustainability Initiative Technology Roadmap which incorporated views from the world's largest cement companies. However, currently proposed solutions will either not deliver the scale of the change needed (eg, partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement with waste products) or are unproven and uneconomic (eg, carbon capture and storage).
Novacem has developed a new class of cement which offers performance and cost parity with ordinary Portland cement, but with a carbon-negative footprint. The cement is based on magnesium oxide (MgO) and hydrated magnesium carbonates. The production process uses accelerated carbonation of magnesium silicates under elevated levels of temperature and pressure (ie 180 ˚C/150 bar). The carbonates produced are heated at low temperatures (700˚C) to produce MgO, with the CO₂ generated being recycled back in the process. The use of magnesium silicates eliminates the CO₂ emissions from raw materials processing. In addition, the low temperatures required allow use of fuels with low energy content or carbon intensity (ie biomass), thus further reducing carbon emissions. Additionally, production of the carbonates absorbs CO₂; they are produced by carbonating part of the manufactured MgO using atmospheric/industrial CO₂. Overall, the production process to make one tonne of Novacem cement absorbs up to 100kg more CO₂ than it emits, making it a carbon negative product.
This production process is based on 20 years of research on the mineral carbonation of magnesium silicates. These minerals are widely dispersed with accessible worldwide reserves estimated to significantly exceed 10,000 billion tonnes.
In 2012 Novacem technology was bought by Calix.

#7 out of 8 in 2013 Affordable Large SUVs
2013 Ford Expedition Interior Review
Note: This interior review was created when the 2013 Ford Expedition was new.
Generally, reviewers think the 2013 Ford Expedition has an inviting cabin design, but they also note that its interior fit and finish is a bit low-quality because of cheap, hard plastics. Even on higher trims, one test driver says that materials fall short.
"Inside, the Expedition boasts a sizable and comfortable cabin, although some of the materials feel a bit low-rent." -- Left Lane News
"Some low-quality interior materials also disappoint, particularly when you've paid the extra money for a premium trim level." -- Edmunds (2012)
"A plethora of hard-plastic panels cheapens Expedition's interior ambiance, even with the available leather upholstery. …" -- Consumer Guide (2012)
The base 2013 Ford Expedition seats up to eight in three rows, but can be equipped with second-row captain's chairs, reducing seating to seven. Cloth seats come standard and leather seats are available. The Expedition is also available with a heated front row, heated second row outboard seats and heated and cooled front seats. One critic says that regardless of the model, the Expedition fits people of all sizes comfortably. Reviewers agree that the first- and second-row seats are spacious and comfortable. One test driver says that the third row is adult-friendly, but only for short trips. They also mention that entering and exiting may be a difficult climb for small children. One auto writer finds that rearward visibility is hindered by bulky headrests and thick rear roof pillars.
"In any of the 2013 Expedition's three trim levels, seats are comfortable and provide enough seat travel to comfortably accommodate passengers of virtually any size." -- Kelley Blue Book
"Generous room on supportive seats. ... Visibility is hampered by thick roof pillars and large headrests, particularly over the left shoulder." -- Consumer Guide (2012)
"In fact, third-row room is among the best of any SUV, though three adults won't want to sit in the back for long. The high ride height also makes getting in and out a task for children." -- New Car Test Drive (2011)
The base Expedition XLT comes with a six-speaker stereo system with an auxiliary jack, satellite radio and Ford's Sync AppLink, which includes Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming. Notable optional features include dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, navigation, an upgraded sound system and HD Radio.
One reviewer says that the gauges are easy to read and most interior controls are arranged logically. Another auto critic notes that the controls look a bit out of date and don't work as well as the ones in the Ford F-150. The same critic says that the navigation screen is small.
See 2013 Ford Expedition specs »
"The Expedition's interior design is generally inviting, though the dash features controls that are out of date in appearance and functionality compared to those found in Ford's F-150 pickup. For example, the navigation system features a rather small touchscreen." -- Edmunds (2012)
"Expedition has large, easy-to-read gauges. ... The dashboard design is otherwise similar, with most controls logically placed, though the switchgear lacks a precision feel. …" -- Consumer Guide (2012)
The Ford Expedition has 108.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row and 55 cubic feet behind the second-row seats. Behind the third row, the Expedition can hold 18.6 cubic feet of cargo. Long-wheelbase EL's have even more room, with 130.8 cubic feet of total space, 85.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 42.6 cubic feet with all seats in use. While the regular Expedition's cargo space is good for the class, it falls short of what the Chevrolet Suburban and Toyota Sequoia offer. One reviewer likes the easy-fold third-row seats. Some rivals require the heavy seats to be completely removed in order to expand cargo space. According to one critic, there are an abundance of interior storage compartments to store small items. Since the Expedition is so tall, one test driver says it may be difficult to tie cargo to the roof.
"Cargo space is a healthy 18.6 cubic feet, increasing to 55 cubic feet with the 3rd row seats folded." -- Left Lane News
"The third-row seat is similarly versatile. The standard seat folds down with a simple tug on the release mechanism." -- Edmunds (2012)
"A large glovebox, roomy center console, and large door pockets provide abundant small-item storage." -- Consumer Guide (2012)
"Unfortunately, the Expedition's height makes it a bit difficult to secure items to the roof rack." -- Kelley Blue Book (2012)

The PieSeries class defines the data series for a PieChart control. The default item renderer is the WedgeItemRenderer class. Optionally, you can define an itemRenderer for the data series. The itemRenderer must implement the IDataRenderer interface.
A number from 0 to 1, specifying how far all wedges of the pie series should be exploded from the center of the chart as a percentage of the total radius.
Specifies the field of the data provider that determines the data for each wedge of the PieChart control.
Specifies a callback function used to render each label of the PieSeries.
The maximum amount of the PieSeries's radius that can be allocated to labels.
Specifies the field of the data provider that determines the name of each wedge of the PieChart control.
The percentage of the total space available to the PieSeries to use when rendering the contents of the series.
An Array of numbers from 0 to 1, specifying how far each wedge of the pie series should be exploded from the center of the chart as a percentage of the total radius.
A number from 0 to 1, specifying how much of the total radius of the pie series should be reserved to explode wedges at runtime.
Specifies the starting angle for the first slice of the PieChart control.
Specifies an array of fill objects used to render each wedge of the PieChart control. If you do not provide enough Array elements for every slice, Flex repeats the fill from the beginning of the Array. If you specify a method using the fillFunction property, the values set by that method take precedence over this Array.
The default value is "advanced", which enables the FlashType renderer if you are using an embedded FlashType font. Set to "normal" to disable the FlashType renderer.
This property only applies when you are using an embedded FlashType font and the fontAntiAliasType property is set to "advanced".
"none" - Do not draw labels.
"outside" - Draw labels around the boundary of the pie.
"callout" - Draw labels in two vertical stacks on either side of the pie. The pie is shrunk if necessary to make room for the labels (see maxLabelRadius). Draw key lines from each label to the associated wedge. Shrink labels as necessary to fit the space provided.
"inside" - Draw labels inside the chart, centered approximately seven tenths of the way along each wedge. Shrink labels to ensure that they do not interfere with each other. If labels are shrunk below the insideLabelSizeLimitSize property, remove them. When two labels overlap, Flex gives priority to labels for larger slices.
"insideWithCallout" - Draw labels inside the pie, but if labels are shrunk below a legible size, Flex converts them to callouts.
"clockwise" - Draw the wedges in clockwise direction.
"counterClockwise" - Draw the wedges in anti-clockwise direction.
The default value for most controls is left. For the Button, LinkButton, and AccordionHeader components, the default value is "center". For these components, this property is only recognized when the labelPlacement property is set to "left" or "right". If labelPlacement is set to "top" or "bottom", the text and any icon are centered.
This value explodes all wedges in the pie series uniformly. You can set the value for individual wedges via the perWedgeExplodeRadius property.
The explode radius for any individual wedge is the value of the explodeRadius property plus its value in the perWedgeExplodeRadius Array.
To guarantee that the pie series stays within its containing chart's bounds while pulling out wedges, the pie series might shrink the total radius of the pie. If you dynamically pull out wedges at run time, the total pie radius shrinks. To avoid this effect, you can "reserve" the space and shrink the total radius initially by setting the reserveExplodeRadius property to the maximum explode radius you intend to set at run time.
Specifies a method that returns the fill for the current chart item in the series. If this property is set, the return value of the custom fill function takes precedence over the fills style property. But if it returns null, then fills will be prefered.
item is a reference to the chart item that is being rendered. index is the index of the chart item in the renderData's cache. This is different from the index of the chart's data provider because it is sorted based on the x, y, and z values. This function returns an object that implements the IFill interface.
The data Object is the dataProvider item being rendered. The field String is the name of the field in the data that is being rendered. The index Number is the index in the original dataProvider of the item being rendered. The percent Number is the percentage of the total this item represents. This function returns a String that is the label for this item.
The maximum amount of the PieSeries's radius that can be allocated to labels. This value is only applicable when the series is rendering callout labels.
When rendering callout labels, the PieSeries reduces the radius of the wedges to allow space for the labels along the sides. Once the amount of space allocated to the labels reaches this limit, the series begins reducing the size of the labels to stay within this size.
The percentage of the total space available to the PieSeries to use when rendering the contents of the series. This value is managed by the containing chart, and should not be assigned to directly.
This value ranges from 0 to 1.
The nth value in this Array corresponds to the nth pie wedge. For example, to pull the third wedge half way out, you assign perWedgeExplodeRadius = [ 0, 0, 50];.
null or missing values in the Array are treated as 0.
To guarantee that the pie series stays within its containing chart's bounds while pulling out wedges, the pie series might shrink the total radius of the pie.
If you dynamically pull out wedges at run time, the total pie radius shrinks. To avoid this effect, you can "reserve" the space and shrink the total radius initially by setting the reserveExplodeRadius property to the maximum explode radius you intend to set at run time.
The value for an individual wedge in the perWedgeExplodeRadius Array is added to the value of the series's explodeRadius property to calculate the total explode radius for any given wedge.
A number from 0 to 1, specifying how much of the total radius of the pie series should be reserved to explode wedges at runtime. When a pie wedge is exploded, the series must shrink the total radius of the pie to make sure it doesn't exceed the bounds of its containing chart. Thus if a developer changes the explode value of a wedge at runtime, it can effectively shrink all the wedges rather than the desired effect of pulling out a single wedge. To avoid this, set reserveExplodeRadius to the maximum value you intend to explode any wedge at runtime.
Specifies the starting angle for the first slice of the PieChart control. The default value is 0, which is horizontal on the right side of the PieChart control.

When I first got this suit I thought it was mis-sized. Turns out I was just wearing too much underneath it. I changed my bottom layers and now it fits perfectly. I've already gone to multiple super hero themed charity events as Flash and people LOVED this suit. Not only does it look great, but it's easy to run around in. Definitely can't wait to wear this around even more.

Darkling Spy, The
Edward Wilson
London, 1956. A generation of British spies are haunted by the ghosts of friends turned traitors. Henry Bone, a Mandarin spymaster, is convinced that a man code-named 'Butterfly' is the Holy Grail of Cold War Intelligence. In reality, however, Butterfly is an aristocratic pervert whose political tastes are as ugly as his sexual preferences. Worst of all, Butterfly has the ability to identify each traitor - and every serving British spy who helped them.
It's on par with John le Carré...It's that good...As a novel this has a wonderful feel the taste, the texture and the smell of authenticity.' Tribune
'The glory days of the Cold War are evoked in The Darkling Spy by Edward Wilson, who boldly ventures into the territory so well trodden by John le Carré. The professionalism of the novel, so rich in detailed perspectives, it's characters so sturdily grounded, enables it to outgrow the spy-thriller's more wearisome conventions, while delivering strong emotional charges.'

Cedarville has now won nine of the past 13 World Solar Splash championships, making it the most decorated team in Solar Splash history.
Cedarville scored 909 points (out of 1,000) to claim the title, followed by Middle Tennessee State University (772 points), and the University of South Carolina (695). The University of Dayton (383) placed 11th.
Cedarville's team won three of the four on-the-water events: slalom, sprint, and endurance. Middle Tennessee State University won the qualifying round, followed by Cedarville. In the slalom, Cedarville's :47.3 time set a course record.
"The slalom time was the very best I've ever seen at the World Solar Splash," said Tim Dewhurst, Ph.D., senior professor of mechanical engineering at Cedarville University and organizer of the event in Dayton.
Although Cedarville won by a comfortable margin, the victory wasn't without incident and cause for adjustments. The team experienced two major setbacks—the ripping of its sprint motor out of the transform, and the flooding of its boat that impacted some electronics.
With limited time to make repairs, Cedarville's students purchased scrap metal from ALRO in Dayton and quickly made a plate to fix the issue.
The flooding issue wasn't realized until the third day of competition, just prior to the endurance heat. The student-led team developed a plan to bypass most of the electronics and was able to get its boat in the lake 15 minutes after the start of the race. Still, Cedarville had the best endurance time.
Cedarville's solar boat team captured its ninth World Solar Splash title.

What Is Land Dispute?
A land dispute is a disagreement over the ownership or use of land. These disputes can be between individuals, groups, or even nations. They can be the result of different interpretations of laws or historical claims to the land.
Land disputes can also arise when there is a change in land use, such as when development projects are proposed. There are a number of ways to resolve land disputes. These can include mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
Mediation is a process in which the parties to the dispute meet with a neutral third party to try to reach an agreement. Arbitration is similar to mediation, but the arbitrator makes a binding decision on the dispute.
Litigation is a process in which the dispute is decided by a court or before a magistrate. In the United States, disputes over land are handled in a variety of ways.
Individuals and organizations can go to court to file lawsuits against the government and landowners, claiming that they have been wronged by their actions or by rules set by the government.
A land dispute can also be resolved in an extrajudicial setting. In an extrajudicial settlement, the parties resolve their dispute without facing a judge or jury.
A property rights dispute is often resolved through a mediation process. However, if mediation is unsuccessful, the person or organization with a grievance may decide to bring a lawsuit.
Where Are Land Disputes Heard?
The law is different from country to country, so it can be hard to determine where land disputes are heard. However, land dispute cases in the United States are usually heard in a state or federal court. Some states have their own judicial systems that hear just these types of cases.
Other states have a system of courts where judges switch between deciding civil and criminal cases, depending on the day of the week. These state courts hear most property rights disputes and other cases.
The court system can also hear land dispute cases and other types of cases, in which case the person or organization bringing the case will decide what court they want to go to.
Is Land Dispute A Civil Case?
Most property rights cases are civil in nature, which means that the dispute is between individuals or organizations. A wrongful eviction claim is an example of a civil case.
In most states, being wrongfully removed from a property may entitle a person to compensation from the landowner or their insurance company. These cases often claim that one side acted negligently or unreasonably, which led to the property's loss of use and enjoyment.
A Land Dispute Example
Suppose Rachel owns an apartment complex in Rhode Island and wants to tear down one of the buildings so she can build new condos on that lot. She wants to hang onto the building that currently sits on the site.
She has already applied for permits and planning to get the building demolished, but she wants to hold onto it for a few more years. Rachel is willing to discuss this with her neighbor to ensure everyone is on board with tearing down the building.
She tells him that she has already ordered demolition equipment and she will have some dumpsters delivered at the end of the week.
When he arrives at her apartment for a visit, Rachel introduces him to her lawyer, who tells them that they should be able to work out their differences over price and other issues, but it would be best if they could wait until after they get all of their legal work done.
What Are The Causes Of Land Disputes?
The causes of land disputes are varied. They may include land use change, dumping of waste, property damage, Succession problems, false documents, missing information in records, and failure to pay rent on time.
Land Use Change – Land use changes can occur as a result of natural factors, such as development or natural disasters. Development happens when an area is built on, such as when a person builds on a plot of land.
Natural disasters include hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes from shifting tectonic plates, and fires from accidents or human-caused acts.
Dumping Of Waste – Communities may dispose of waste in various ways. Some common methods are burning the waste or dumping it in landfills.
When either of these methods are used to dispose of waste, the waste can leach into water sources or harm animals and people that are nearby.
Property Damage – When a land dispute arises over the use of property, damage can occur. This can occur when someone damages the property intentionally or unintentionally.
If a person or organization damaged the property, they are often required to fix it before they can use it again. This is a common defense in an eviction or eviction case ($400 extra in legal fees).
Succession Problem- Sometimes, a property owner passes away without having set up a will or estate plan. In this type of situation, his or her property and rights are passed on to family members such as children, siblings, and step-children.
If a person does not pass on their assets quickly enough, however, family members may have trouble receiving the rights to the land from the deceased.
False Documents – A common cause of land disputes is forged documents that are used to claim the title.
For example, if an individual wanted to buy land and were not able to verify that it was legally theirs through an official document such as a deed or title for their new home, they could apply for fraudulent documentation in order to get the money for the land.
Failure To Pay Rent On Time – Landlords and tenants may have disputes about payment for rent. Most leases include clauses that set when tenants are supposed to pay rent, and landlords often have different state rules on this topic.
Failure to pay rent on time can lead to an eviction process, which can result in the tenant losing the property if they do not make up for the rent.
For example, sometimes landlords get into disputes with tenants over the deposits that were left for apartments being vacated. The tenant may have cleaned the carpets and walls or done other work to make the unit acceptable for future tenants.
If the landlord does not return the damage deposit, he or she may be liable to cover such costs or compensate the tenant for his or her efforts.
What Are The Effects Of Land Disputes?
Land disputes can have a number of different effects, depending on the specifics of the situation. In some cases, land disputes can lead to physical violence and even death.
In other cases, land disputes can cause economic hardship, as people are forced to spend money on legal fees or are unable to access important resources. Land disputes can also lead to social disharmony, as people argue over who has the right to use which piece of land.
Land disputes range from emotional to physical, depending on the dispute's particulars. For example, if a person is being evicted from his or her home, he or she can experience emotional effects like fear and anger. In fact, carrying out the eviction can be traumatic for some individuals.
However, these emotions may be short-lived compared to the physical consequences that can arise from a community's law enforcement or legal response to a property dispute.
If the community has an aggressive legal system and enforces laws against those who break them aggressively, residents may experience more significant physical consequences such as increased instances of crime and poverty.
What Kind Of Lawyer Do I Need For Land Dispute?
Land dispute cases can vary widely in their particulars, but they all present risks and problems to the land owner or individual involved in the case.
Issues with these disputes often come down to the specific details of each case, so it is important to find an experienced lawyer who can help you resolve land disputes and protect your legal rights.

How Much Does A Land Dispute Cost?
Land dispute cases can vary in terms of cost, depending on the situation. As such, there is no way to determine a specific cost for your case without having a closer look at the circumstances surrounding it.
These cases can vary widely depending on whether the dispute is related to an eviction or a death of a landowner who did not have enough time to set up an estate plan. This can lead to disputes over property rights and access.
Also, it's often important that legal professionals are involved in these cases to ensure that all involved parties understand the ins and outs of their situation and have a clear idea of their rights and responsibilities. This can prevent conflicts and mistakes from being made, which will help reduce the cost of your case.

Q: In JavaScript Classes, can a child call its super parent methods by default? With a simple Child class that extends a Parent class and both of them define the same method:
class Parent {
  method() {
    console.log('Parent method');
  }
}

class Child extends Parent {
  method() {
    // super.method()
    console.log('Child method');
  }
}

const child = new Child();
child.method();

Can the Child not override the method by default and instead have both methods fired (without needing to manually invoke the super method?)

A: No, you must invoke the super method. There is no OO language that I know of that allows a super method to be automatically invoked along with the derived version. If you think about it, it is the correct thing to do as sometimes you would want the super's version as well, and sometimes you would not.
