Up & Down Asia
How Trump Can Make Asia Great Again

Asia spent the last 57 days fretting about a "Trump tantrum" in world markets. What if the president-elect does more to make this region great again than damage its prospects?
This most contrarian of views from Warren Allderige, chief executive office at Pacific Harbor Group, is worth considering as a uniquely uncertain year gets underway. The rationale: Donald Trump's team lashing out at what it considers predatory practices, threatening trade wars, seeking to pull jobs back to the U.S. and generally turning inward is a wakeup call to a region that's grown dangerously complacent. Think of it as Trump-inspired economic Darwinism.
"I think there could be a 'Trump Effect' in Asia - people not wanting to be left behind," Hong Kong-based Allderige tells me.
Trump's Twitter feed could prove to be the ultimate shaming mechanism. Just ask China's Xi Jinping, whose nation is, unenviably, the target of Trump's 140-character bromides. On Monday, for example, Trump tweeted that "China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!" That, says Allderige, may have many Asian leaders concluding "I don't want it happening to me."
This naming-and-shaming policy could easily backfire, of course. Not only could President Xi retaliate if Trump goes too far or follows through on 45% tariff threats, but China has proven quite adept at huddling with Asian leaders and offering an alternative to Washington. Look no further than the Beijing appeasement currents coursing through the Philippines, Malaysia and elsewhere.
" China's weaknesses frighten Asia. So do the ways Trump-driven trade chaos could upend Asia's main growth engine. "
Even staunch U.S. ally Singapore is wondering what gives as Trump kills a Trans-Pacific Partnership that America initiated in the first place. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is looking around for other avenues of cooperation "to create opportunities for Singaporean companies and Singaporeans." Among them is the 16-nation Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which includes China and excludes the world's biggest economy. Alienating the most dynamic region could crimp U.S. growth in the long run.
Risks abound, too, as Asia hitches its fortunes to an opaque, unbalanced and still developing economy. Three years ago, it was China's strength and growing market share that kept leaders from Seoul to Jakarta awake at night. Now, China's weaknesses frighten Asia. So do the ways Trump-driven trade chaos could upend Asia's main growth engine.
Even so, Asia must look in the mirror as a messy 2017 beckons. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Asian crisis that began with Thailand's baht devaluation and spread like wildfire. Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea turned to the International Monetary Fund for multi-billion-dollar bailouts in exchange for reforms and deregulation. When calm returned a few years later, though, governments shelved upgrades and clung to their export-led growth models.
Asia has come a long way since the darkest days of 1997. It strengthened banking systems, reduced cronyism, privatized state-owned enterprises and amassed arsenals of currency reserves to protect economies. But the extent to which the repair job was incomplete became clear in 2008, when the U.S. sent financial contagion Asia's way. Capital fled the region, driving up bond yields, slamming equities and setting back gains in living standards.
This pattern repeated itself in 2013 as a Federal Reserve-driven taper tantrum shook world markets. The floor fell out from under Indonesian assets, India narrowly avoided being downgraded to junk and Japan's hopes of defeating deflation were dashed anew.
To be sure, 1997 is unlikely to repeat itself, no matter what Trump does. While foreign-currency debt is rising, it's nowhere near the problem it was 20 years ago. Exchange rates aren't pegged and economies are considerably more transparent. The contrasts between then and now trump the similarities. But hubris has its costs. China's explosive growth and ultralow rates in the U.S., Europe and Japan in recent years made generating output too easy for developing Asia.
Painful restructuring took a backseat to ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new factories and flashy skyscrapers, inking foreign direct investment deals and high-fiving over splashy initial public offerings. Financial centers Singapore and Hong Kong grew smug as bankers fled Wall Street for the hot markets of Asia. All the while, unproductive investments and the bubbles that follow returned.
Trump's shock election yanked away the punchbowl, creating a bull market in uncertainty. It's always possible Trump's pledged infrastructure boom will propel commodity prices higher and boost demand for Asian goods. But it's exposing the cracks in the growth narrative. If it catalyzes the region to raise its game and diversify growth engines –- more jobs and income from services and innovation -- the Trump Effect could help make Asia's outlook great again. Tantrums aren't always bad.

Metaphysical concepts relate to the ideas of transcendent and universal elements that surpass the human interactions. They aim to explore notions that humans have yet to comprehend, or have merely touched on in order to provide an understanding of what lies beyond the physical world. Aesthetics aims to explore questions relating to the natural world, beauty and art, and the intertwining of each. Therefore, in conjunction with metaphysical concepts, these two branches of philosophy explore the transformative and distinctiveness of art and what distinguishes something as art. These ideas highly conflicted with modern scientific knowledge as they were based on theories and concepts in comparison to reliable experiments that resulted in tangible or viewable proof. In relation to naturalism many philosophers such as John Dewey, Ernest Nagel and Sidney Hook are compelled to believe that only what is seen and touched or scientifically proven can be true, and in saying so, can be meaningful to humans.

What is Art?
Aesthetics arises when one's own definition of beauty is led to the question of, what is art? Similar to one's pondering of metaphysical thoughts in which lead to the notions of, 'what is?,' aesthetics allows one to explore the distinctiveness of what makes a form of work classified as art.

Art can be seen or heard through forms such as music, architecture, paintings, literature, plays and so forth. However, many critics state that humans are too caught up in works of statutes, song and dance to ever notice what lies beyond the surface of this diversity, the one identical reality: art. Works of stone altars from the third, second and first B.C. of Italian origin are often established as 'a work of art,' however, in stating this, one employs the idea of art in a contemporary society. Two conclusions are drawn from this in which concern the character of art and the nature of the theory of art. The artists naïveté in their piece is essential in classifying the finished work as 'art.' An artist cannot begin a work with the intention of it being art, nor can the artist determine whether the completed work is art, it must earn a social prestige from the population. Once the artwork has been recognised as art, the artist can no longer approach their work naively as they are aware of its significance. An artist is unable to begin a piece with the intention of creating art as they lose the indelible feature of art, naïveté. In other terms, intellectual clarification and artistic creation proceed on two different planes of mental activity, in general one would link action with intellect. As Helmut Kuhn writes, in this case, the artist's heart is wiser than the mind, therefore, they must relinquish this state of mind in order to not define the directing purpose of the piece.

Plato's Theory: Art is Imitation (Mimesis)

The idea of art being an imitation was present during the Renaissance when Vasari had said, "painting is just the imitation of all the living things of nature with their colours and designs just as they are in nature." However, Plato's theories on this topic further explored the idea that art imitates the objects and events of ordinary life. In other words, it is a copy of a copy of a form. Therefore, works of art are either for the joy of entertainment or an illusion. Contrastingly, Plato's other theory talks about how an artist may have the power to create an artwork truer than the copies of the form. In works with Socrates, the pair discovered the idea that one may be called upon by a higher, divine power, and is gifted with the ability to create art. This was established in Socrates questioning of a poet named, Ion. Ion was able to recite the poems of Homer, however could not recite anything else. Socrates questioned this as, logically thinking, if Ion is able to recite poetry, then this knowledge should be applicable towards all forms of poetry. Therefore, Socrates classified the notion as inspiration from the Gods who allowed Ion to only recite Homeric poetry. Plato was not entirely convinced of this idea of an artist being divinely inspired, however, this theory has become evident in the present day and is believed by many individuals.

Faults in Plato's Theory: Art is Imitation
Although Plato's theory is plausible for works of paintings, sculpture and drawings, it does not account or give reason for other forms of artworks. The art of music does not apply to the idea of imitation as it is originally created by the artist. However, Plato spoke about music being an imitation of ones emotions and being a way of representing natural sounds, yet many believe this to be a far stretch in his theory. Plato's theory of Imitation only began to fade during the nineteenth century, where imitation began to fade from western aesthetics to theories of art being a form of expression and communication of ones emotions or aesthetic needs.

Aristotle

Aristotle has similar beliefs in Plato's theory of imitation, however, the difference between them was Aristotle's belief in the, 'unmoved Mover,' which is pure Form, whilst Plato believed that Forms were the true reality and that the world were copies of them. Aristotle similarly believed that art involved imitation, thinking more in depth as to what form of art people decide to imitate. For instance, Aristotle stated that Tragedy is an imitation, "not of persons but of action and life, of happiness and misery." An aspect Aristotle had developed was his theory of catharsis, an aspect that Plato has rejected. Catharsis, or in other words, purging of the emotions "through pity and fear," is accomplished by tragedy. Drama, specifically tragedy, is explored in Aristotle's Poetics or 'Unities.''' The Poetics explains both a history and a critical framework for the evaluation for tragic drama. This particular work was influential during the Renaissance and the early modern European periods, however, still has had a strong influence up to the present day. Aristotle distinguished six elements of a tragic drama: Spectacle, which refers to the staging, sets, lighting and costumes. Thought is in reference to what the characters are thinking. Diction and Melody refers to the style and setting of text or, in the case of some, the lyrics and music. Plot and Character are the two that Aristotle thought to be the most important. He stated, "In a play, they do not act in order to portray the characters; they include the characters for the sake of the action." (poetics 1450.20) With these elements, Aristotle stressed the need for a work to be unified. That the plot should portray one extended action which comes to a climatic conclusion and results in catharsis. However, in saying this, Aristotle also implied that there must be an element of surprise, that the plot should have twists and turns in order to arouse the audience's emotions. A sense of authenticity must also be present, specifically where the character themselves react in ways one normally would in specific circumstances. These 'Unities' were developed by Renaissance writers who produced a code of 'decorum' for dramatic productions. The failure to showcase these 'Unities' often resulted in the work being classified as a failure. However, productions and showcases of tragedy drama no longer comply to these elements intentionally, yet are only present in an unconscious sense where what the artist creates reflects Aristotle's theory.

 History

 Henri Bergson
In 1896, Henri Bergson published his book on philosophy titled, Matière et Mémoire. In this publication, Bergson positioned himself as a Spirit-Matter dualist in ontology and developed an epistemology that distinguished between intuition. This led to absolute knowledge of the Spiritual Realm, and an analysis that led to relative knowledge of the Material Realm. Bergson had developed a theory of the comic within relation to his ontology and epistemology in his work published in 1900 titled, Le Rire. For example, he claimed that laughter comes into being when men silence their emotions and call nothing into play but their intelligence. He uses as an example, when a man stumbles and falls, the passers-by laugh; however, they would not of laughed had he of chosen to sit down, instead they laugh because his sitting down is involuntary.  This was in relation to the Material Realm, however knowledge of the Spiritual Realm was contrasted with the experience of the beautiful and the tragic. For instance, Bergson states that we are able to imitate the hero of a tragedy, however, the question arises whether this imitation is consequently passed from the tragic to a comic.

 Benedetto Croce
Benedetto Croce believed that aesthetic activity was an essential activity of the mind. Specifically, the aesthetics activity, which involved the use of imagination, was what other mental activities such as action or logical thought, were founded. In Croce's Preface to the 1902 edition of Aesthetics he states that aesthetics is essential and a study prior to metaphysics. Croce believe that a cogent analysis of aesthetics is not only important within itself but is also important because it brings light to the faults in other branches of philosophy. He suggested a dualistic ontology of Spirit and Nature and analysed aesthetics activity within the context of a realist metaphysics that distinguished between the Subject and the Natural world. However, through deeper analysis, Croce rejected the Spirit-Nature theory and claimed a Spiritual Monism. Croce therefore stated that aesthetics is a corrective to metaphysics.

 John Dewey
John Dewey has proposed a monistic ontology, identifying experience and nature, calling this a "naturalistic metaphysics." He rejected ontological dualisms that separated experience and the natural world. In his published book, Experience and Nature, Dewey states that scientific and artistic experience are one of the same. Science was an art, and together, they combined the cognitive and the emotive senses. In his work, Dewey suggests that art is a combination of the culminating event of nature and the climax of experience. In 1934, his published work, Art as Experience, expands on this theory. Dewey's main concern was to make clear that objects of art did not differ from ordinary objects, nor did aesthetic experience differ from ordinary experience.

 R.G. Collingwood
R. G. Collingwood suggested in his published work title, The Principles of Art, that the theory of art was developed upon the theory of the world. Collingwood states in his work that art is imaginary by using the example that if one creates music based on their imagination then a tune is an imaginary thing. His theory suggests that there are no real objects, they are created through each individual's imagination, constructing an idea of an object. Therefore, the existence of these objects is only due to an imagination that identifies and distinguishes things out of momentary sensation. Consequently, since objects are founded upon the imagination, then artwork does likewise. As stated in, The Principles of Art, art is created as a result of human emotions, which in turn comes from an imaginary experience or activity.

Rest and relaxation are the most underrated nutrients for health.
The past month we gave you a really important advice, deep breathing. This sole habit has a potential to make you healthier, happier and more relaxed.
However, this month we will focus more on the relaxation. We need to give relaxation the importance it deserves in our everyday life.
If deep breathing gives you a little momentary fix of relaxation daily, you should give yourself one whole day to just relax.
We are really serious when we say that relaxation is crucially important for health. Most people neglect rest and relaxation and underrate their importance.
But being proactive about your relaxation is as important as being proactive about eating healthy and exercising.
Give yourself one whole self care day every week!
Design a little oasis of relaxation for yourself. Do whatever your desired relaxation activity is, sauna, massage, spa, walking in nature, swimming, or just watching your favorite show.
You can do one of these, or mix a couple of them. You can get creative and literally construct this one day to keep you relaxed.
You can plan the meals you will have, the relaxing activities you will do, the mindset you will hold, the things you will be surrounded with, the people you will hang out with.
Create a day just for you. A day you will show kindness and care to yourself and relax your nervous system.
You should have such day every single week. If that's something you cannot fit in your schedule, do one day in two weeks.
You should consider this seriously because rest and relaxation are really important for maintaining your health.

Olive growers experience 'worst year in memory'; higher prices expected

In this Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014, photo, damaged olives hang in the grove belonging to Augusto Spagnoli, an oil producer from Nerola, near Rome. Italy's 2014 olive harvest was declared by both producers and experts as the worst in history, due to adverse climatic conditions that helped the olive fly proliferate, thus destroying the olives before they could be harvested.
BEJA, Portugal — If your favorite bottle of Mediterranean olive oil starts costing more, blame unseasonable European weather — and tiny insects.
High spring temperatures, a cool summer and abundant rain are taking a big bite out of the olive harvest in some key regions of Italy, Spain, France and Portugal. Those conditions have helped the proliferation of the olive fly and olive moth, which are calamitous blights.
The shortfall could translate into higher shelf prices for some olive oils and is dealing another blow to southern Europe's bruised economies as they limp out of a protracted financial crisis.
"The law of supply and demand is a basic law of the market," said Joaquim Freire de Andrade, president of growers' association Olivum in Portugal's southern Alentejo region, the country's olive heartland. "It's a tough year."
Olive oil is big business in southern European Union countries. They are the source of more than 70 percent of the world's olive oil, bringing export revenue of almost 1.8 billion euros ($2.2 billion) last year. The United States imported just over $800 million of that.
For some European growers, this year's harvest is a bust.
In Spain, the world's biggest producer, the young farmers' association Asaja said 2014 is "another disaster" after a devastating harvest two years ago. Spain's output is forecast to plunge by more than 50 percent, with a drop of at least 60 percent in the southern Andalucia region.
Several factors have combined to hurt Spain. Trees are exhausted after last year's bumper harvest. Unusually high spring temperatures choked flowering. On top of that, some producers are battling swarms of olive flies and moths.
Consumers are paying 1 euro a liter more for their olive oil, said Asaja president Luis Carlos Valero, who said he doesn't anticipate a hefty price jump.
For celebrated Italian olive oil producers, "this is the worst year in memory," said Pietro Sandali, head of the Italian olive growers' consortium, Unaprol. The group expects a 35 percent drop in national production this year.
After heavy spring and summer rain, some growers didn't bother to harvest their meager crop. For some who did, the volume is low, and the quality is poor.
"This crop is not to be remembered. This is a crop to be forgotten in every aspect," said Augusto Spagnoli, an organic olive grower from Nerola, about 50 kilometers from Rome.

Environmental Rollbacks by the Trump Administration and the Upcoming Election
Published by jzeri24 on October 30, 2020
By Brianne Bennett
In the last four years since President Donald J. Trump has taken office, he and his administration have been hard at work attempting to dismantle major climate protections and have rolled back over 70 rules governing environmental protections focusing on water, toxic chemicals, clean air, and wildlife protections.[1]The majority of these rollbacks have been undertaken by the Trump Administration's Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA").[2]In addition to the over 70 rules currently rolled backed by the Trump Administration ("the Administration"), almost 30 additional regulations are also in the process of having their restrictions and consequences cut.[3] The efforts by the EPA to roll back these regulations include the weakening of several Obama Administration era policies such as wetland protections as well as limits on mercury and carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.[4]
In addition to the rollbacks from the EPA, additional rollbacks have come from the Interior Department. These rollbacks have limited protections for wildlife and increased land granted to oil and gas companies under government leases.[5]According to a spokesperson from the Administration's EPA, the changes in environmental regulations by the Administration are designed to "[P]rovide certainty for states, tribes, and local governments," and to demonstrate the Administration's dedication to putting the EPA back on track of its original purpose of "[p]roviding cleaner air, water and land to the American people."[6]
However, many groups, both environmental and legal, have emphasized that not only are the Administration's rollbacks not putting the EPA back on track, they are having the exact opposite effect. Many of the Administration's rollbacks have been challenged, not only by environmental groups, but also by states.[7] Hillary Aidun, an employee responsible for tracking deregulation at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Colombia University, states that many of the rollbacks enacted by the Administration have been authorized without sufficient justification behind them, leaving them open to litigation.[8]
The Administration has stated that the rollback of these regulations is an effort to return the EPA to its core mission of protecting the environment and stimulating the economy.[9]However, it is proven that environmental regulations are, in fact, highly beneficial for the economy.[10] The Clean Power Plan, finalized by the Obama Administration in 2015, for example, was estimated to add tens of thousands of jobs within the renewable energy sector by 2040.[11]In addition to their economic value, environmental regulations are also highly beneficial in preventing illness and death related to pollution.[12]
Ken Cook, a spokesperson for the Environmental Working Group states that "There has never been a president who has actively pursued an agenda so hostile to the environment . . . than Mr. Trump."[13] Earthjustice has filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Administration to date and emphasizes that the Administration "drives a destructive pro-polluter agenda at the expense of the American people."[14]Section I of this Comment will address the main areas where the Administration has focused its efforts to reduce environmental protections. The following Sections will address the use of rollbacks by the Administration, and how the results of the upcoming, November 3, 2020, election may affect the future of environmental regulation in the United States.
I. Major Regulations Subject to Potential Rollbacks
A. Clean Air Regulations
i. Toxic Air Pollution
This Section focuses on the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule which determined that the benefits of eliminating toxic air pollutants greatly exceed the cost of complying with regulations.[15]The EPA announced a review of this rule in April 2017.[16] The EPA provided no justification for its review.[17] For the time being, this regulation remains in effect. If the EPA were to conclude that the costs outweigh the benefits, it could lead to a possible rollback of limits on power plant emissions. However, if we are to follow along with the statement made by Hillary Aidun that these rollbacks, without justification, are vulnerable to litigation, it is probable that any rollback of this rule will result in court challenges.[18]
ii. Industrial Malfunction Pollution
During a 2017 case before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Administration attempted to delay litigation concerning the EPA's "Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction SIP Call."[19] This regulation required more than 30 states to review their Clean Air Act State Implementation Plans (SIPs).[20] The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an indefinite postponement of oral arguments regarding this regulation. This indefinite stay will allow for power plants to postpone the implementation of harsher SIPs regulations without fear of litigation.
iii. Greenhouse Gases from Power Plants
The Greenhouse Gas Rule sets forth the standards to limit carbon dioxide from all types of fossil fuel-fired steam electric power plants.[21] This regulation is in the process of being reviewed by the Administration following an executive order by President Trump ordering a review of the 2014 Clean Power Plan and all its associated rules.[22] Power plants already produce forty percent of caron dioxide emissions in the United States.[23] If the Administration succeeds in rolling back the Greenhouse Gas Rule we could see a drastic increase in carbon dioxide emissions.
iv. Oil and Gas
The Administration halted the implementation of the rule that required oil and gas facilities to find and repair leaks of methane from new facilities in 2017.[24] These facilities include wells, compressor stations, and tanks. That same year several organizations filed a federal lawsuit to stop this "stay" of the regulation. The U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of the environmental organizations promoting the implementation of the rule and granted an emergency motion, leaving the rule in effect.[25] The Oil and Gas Methane Rule is expected to reduce 510,000 tons of methane by 2025.[26] This is a great environmental benefit as it is the equivalent of reducing 40 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air.
B. Clean Water Regulation
i. Coal Plants
In 2017, the Administration halted compliance deadlines with the 2015 Steam Electric Effluent Limitations Guidelines ("ELG").[27] The ELG places limits on toxic water pollution from coal-fired power plants. Even further, in 2018 the EPA announced intentions to file in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to reduce the limits on wastewater from coal gasification plant.[28] This demonstrates the Administration's intentions to further lessen the restrictions on coal plant pollution.
ii. Streams and Wetlands
In 2019, the Administration enacted the "Waters of the U.S." rule revoking the federal protections of about 18 percent of streams and about 51 percent of wetlands across the U.S.[29] These areas are especially important as they serve as headwaters for many river and lakes that provide drinking water. They act as natural filters for these bodies of water that prevent pollutants from entering the drinking water reserves. Protecting these areas from pollution is massively important because the pollutants poured into these areas include toxins such as arsenic and selenium.[30] Both of these are poisonous to humans and allowing them to be dumped into drinking water resources can cause devastating health defects and even death.
II. How Are These Rollbacks Possible?
Many of the rules and regulations that are under attack by the Administration are results of the administrative law process. Within this structure, Congress has taken a step back and allowed federal agencies to take their place in the regulation of these areas. Environmental policies are prone to administrative regulation because they are seen by Congress as a very black and white area of law.[31] Things either fall under environmental protection, or outside of it, therefore it is a relatively easy area to regulate and does not need constant Congressional oversight.
Typically, when an agency intends to implement a regulation, that regulation goes through a required process known as a "Notes and Comments" period where the regulation is open to the public to submit their thoughts on the regulation.[32] Those comments must then be examined and considered by the agency. Once a regulation has been enacted by an agency, any changes made to it are subject to the same kind of "Notes and Comments" period as the original regulation.[33] However, portions of these regulations may be overturned by courts.
It is this method that the Administration has used to enact many of these rollbacks. By filing suit in federal courts, the Administration can obtain a "stay" or "halt" of specific sections of the regulation without repealing or changing the wording of the regulation in such a way that would require the Notes and Comments period. Halting a specific portion of these regulations allows the Administration to achieve their goals of lessening restrictions on environmental polluters without having to go through the arduous process of changing the law.
III. Potential Election Consequences
Many of the aforementioned regulationshave actually been "stayed, rather than completely repealed." That means that the EPA is attempting to, or has succeeded in, halting the application of all or a part of these regulations. The EPA is using this as a workaround to avoid having to formally overturn these rules. Administrative law requires a Notice and Comment process in order to amend or repeal a rule. The Notice and Comment process is a long and arduous process that the Administration is avoiding by "rolling back" these regulations rather than fully abolishing them.
However, many of these rollbacks are seeing attacks from environmental agencies across the country. At the beginning of October 2020, a three-judge panel met to rule on the Administration's efforts to repeal regulations on power plant emissions.[34] The court in this case contains two judges named by former President Barack Obama, who placed emphasis on higher, rather than lower, economic regulations. However, even if the court rules against the current Administration, this case and many more like it are likely to reach the Supreme Court for further ruling.[35] With a conservative majority in the Supreme Court, the Administration's desires are likely to prevail.
To date, the Administration has completed rollbacks on over 70 environmental regulations.[36] An additional 27 regulations are currently in the process of being rolled back.[37] If President Trump is able to secure a second term, the current rollbacks would obviously remain in place. The 27 regulations currently in the process are likely to be rolled back and the Administration will move forward with their pattern of aggressive deregulation in the environmental field.[38] In the current political climate, a potential second term for President Trump, along with a conservative majority in the Supreme Court and a potential continued conservative majority in the Senate, the current Administration has the potential to do lasting damage to environmental regulation. There is confirmation that further rollbacks are exactly what the Trump Administration intends to do with a second term. Andrew Wheeler, the head of the Administration's EPA, has stated that "President Donald Trump will move to weaken more environmental regulations of industries if reelected in November."[39]
Even if former Vice President Biden is elected, the current rollbacks could still have lasting future impacts. But there is still hope for environmental and natural resource protections. In the last ten months, several court cases have arisen to fight back against the Trump Administration's rollbacks. Amongst the rollbacks challenged were the decrease in fossil fuel development limitations, methane emission standards, the Dakota Access Pipeline, migratory bird protections, and natural gas flaring.[40] The New York University Institute for Policy Integrity Database shows that the Trump Administration EPA has won only nine of forty-seven cases and the Interior Department has won only four of twenty-two.[41] With a less than twenty percent success rate, there is great likelihood that the Administration will be stopped from furthering wrongful environmental regulations.
Environmental protections play an important role in the sustainability of the United States. Not only do these regulations protect natural resources such as air and water quality, they also provide health benefits which far outweigh the costs to implement them. Despite the importance of environmental protections, the Trump Administration is attempting to roll back several regulations. As a result, tens of thousands of jobs will be lost, a massive cut to the economy.[42]If the Administration continues its path of deregulation, it is only a matter of time before the United States has damaged the environment and depleted its resources beyond what government regulations can recover from. Whether President Trump remains in office or former Vice President Biden assumes the role of President, one thing remains true: we must work to preserve the United States' depleting environmental protections and natural resources.

Editor's note: Click through this link to see more men's style shopping picks.
Just a couple of weeks ago on The Style Guide, we talked about the best men's gloves to buy for winter — a pretty specific category that can nonetheless make a big difference in how you tackle cold weather on the daily. You might not think much of getting the right winter gloves, but again, the devil is in the details. Such is also the case with other stylish winter accessories — we covered the topic last year on the blog, but we're updating it for 2017 today. There are certainly multiple ways to go as you gear up for winter — that is to say, you can snap up pieces that are either rugged and built for work & adventure, or more refined and made to dress up (a la some of James Bond's accessories in "Skyfall"). With that versatile approach in mind, we — and by we, I mean me — compiled choice picks for the chilly weather ahead. So, prepare to dress for the polar vortex and get shopping while there's still time. Happy shopping!
Either a parka with technical flair, or a rugged-yet-casual wool jacket. Your call.
In an ideal world, we'd all be able to stock our closets chock full of coats for every type of situation — sadly, there's not enough time or money to go around for that. With a versatile approach and comfort — plus warmth — in mind, either the Maritime Submariner Jacket or the reliable, hard-wearing and easy-to-layer Outerknown Nomadic Parka are really solid winter outerwear picks. The Submariner Jacket is made from beastly boiled wool, and the Nomadic Parka is a great piece to layer up with when wearing everything from a casual crewneck sweater to a tailored winter outfit.
Again, the choice between casual style and dressy appeal is up to you.
So, here we are again with an underrated style accessory — critical, yet underrated. There's that tricky balance between dressy and casual here — if you find yourself suiting up on the regular, a pair of refined, cashmered-lined leather gloves is the perfect pick (the smartphone-capable fingers are a nice touch, too). And for all kinds of rugged winter style adventures, there might not be a better pick than the Hestra Granvik Gloves — truly, these guys know what they're doing when it comes to crafting great winter gloves.
As sold by Style Guide favorites Huckberry , there's something refreshingly no-frills about a well-made, simple and affordable winter hat like the Columbiaknit Watch Cap. Again, winter accessories are an underrated way to complement your overall look — just look at how well our man David Beckham dresses for winter with a simple puffer jacket and yes, a neutral beanie cap. Your ears will definitely thank you when the polar vortex hits.
A scarf that's easily wearable, comfortable and worth the price.
Am I encouraging you to spend nearly $100 on a scarf? Well, yes. If you can only pick up one scarf, you might as well make it a well-made, neutral and versatile piece you can match with anything in your closet. Whether you team it with a slim topcoat or a more rugged piece like the Nomadic Parka, you truly can't go wrong with this ribbed black scarf. In fact, you could even steal some winter style from Daniel Craig and team it with a thick-knit shawl-collar cardigan.
Your call — simple, well-made socks or a pair with winter-friendly pattern.
We've once again reached that tricky balance between a casual winter accessory and a piece that's slightly more dressed up. For simple functionality and comfort, there might not be a better value on the market than the Merino Lite Hiker Socks. And if you want a pair with a bit more visual interest — yet the same quality and versatility, the Fair Isle Sock in Merino & Cashmere is about as good as it gets. Heck, you could snag two pairs of the Merino Lite Hikers, and throw in a pair from American Trench for good measure. Not a bad deal, ehh?
OK, is your closet fully stocked yet? If you still need to upgrade your winter accessories, I hope the above picks give you a place to start. It always pays to reach for quality and versatility — particularly in terms of outerwear like the Submariner Jacket or the essential Nomadic Parka. And with the rest of your accessories, you should hunt for similar quality — so, a thick-knit ribbed scarf and tough winter gloves from the likes of Hestra are wise additions to your ensemble. And although you might not think too much of it, a comfortable winter hat like the Columbiaknit Watch Cap is going to provide you with long-lasting comfort and warmth (as are functional socks from Wigwam or American Trench). Did you take notes? Open up a few browser tabs? Either way, happy shopping and stay warm out there!

What are the sources of anxiety, stress, and fear you experience in your life? Popular Catholic speaker and author Sonja Corbitt believes that these often-paralyzing emotions are the direct result of our everyday battles against sin and temptation.
In her new book Fearless, Corbitt equips us with the spiritual tools we need to restore our spiritual well-being. She talked with Ave Maria Press about the goals of the book.
Ave Maria Press: How is Fearless different from Unleashed?
Sonja Corbitt: The process of allowing the Holy Spirit to unleash us from toxic relationships, self-medicating and other bad habits, repeating circumstances, and overwhelming desires begins painfully. We assume things are going to get better right away since we're truly trying to follow God, but instead they seem to get worse! Why is that?
That's when we become fearful and are tempted to all sorts of giving up and acting out and anxiety and depression. Fearless shines the light of God's Word on our discouragement and anxiety in the process of following God and helps dissipate the fear of it.
Unleashed helps us identify where we're stuck in patterns. Fearless offers tools for the battles we are facing and will face in following God out of our destructive patterns, especially in our time in history.
Ave: What's the most important thing you want readers to come away with after reading Fearless?
Corbitt: Freedom from fear through a more complete abandonment to God. I show my readers how to risk big, and pray they do, that they leap the chasm of fear straight into His arms.
Ave: Explain what "spiritual warfare" means in the context of our everyday lives. It seems like a frightening concept.
Corbitt: Fear is a deficit of love. C. S. Lewis said we are always tempted simultaneously in opposite extremes. We can be afraid of spiritual warfare, or we can deny it completely. At its most basic, biblical spiritual warfare is fighting fear, because fear motivates sin. God, ourselves, the other—we sin against those we fear; we do not sin against those we truly love. Satan's only real power is deceiving us into sin. And even in sin, there is no place dark enough that the Light of the World cannot penetrate. Spiritual warfare, then, is discerning and fighting temptation with the Word of God. In Fearless, I arm my readers to the hilt with truth so they can grow out of fear into a deeper love and awareness.
Ave: If someone has not been a regular reader of the Bible but wants to start, what's a good way to begin?
Corbitt: The saints tell us we should always begin with daily lectio divina in the daily readings of the Church. If there is little time, just read, meditate, pray, and rest in the Gospel. But there's more on that in the book!


Xypex Chemical Corporation manufactures a range of concrete waterproofing and protection products used in the construction or restoration of building foundations, water and sewage treatment infrastructure, tunnels, manholes, and marine structures. Its unique crystallizing technology has been tested and proven worldwide in all climates and in widely varying construction situations. Sold through an international network of distributors and licensees in over 70 countries, Xypex is specified and used on countless projects around the world.
Available as a coating or admixture, Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing reacts with the by-products of cement hydration and other mineral constituents of the concrete, precipitating a chemical reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation that fills and permanently plugs the pores, capillaries and hairline cracks that naturally occur in the structure. In this way, Xypex becomes a permanent, integral part of the structure.
Unlike surface barriers or membranes, Xypex cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams; it does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh etc. and is not affected by exposure to the elements.
It can be difficult to sort through the falsehoods about mineral fibre insulation to find the truth. How does it really perform in the face of wind-washing, water infiltration, and cold temperatures?
The term 'thermal movement' refers to a material's dimensional changes resulting from temperature swings. A material experiencing a rise or decrease of temperature expands or contracts, respectively—this poses an interesting challenge when it comes to designing metal panel roof assemblies.

Stała kosmologiczna (zazwyczaj oznaczana wielką literą lambda – Λ) – stała zaproponowana przez Alberta Einsteina jako modyfikacja do jego własnej ogólnej teorii względności mająca pomóc w wyjaśnieniu modelu kosmologicznego Wszechświata znanego jako statyczny model Wszechświata. Stała kosmologiczna Einsteina jest niezależna od czasu i przestrzeni. Odkrycie w 1929 prawa Hubble'a, potwierdzające rozszerzanie się Wszechświata, kwestionowało wprowadzenie tej stałej. Również w samej konstrukcji teorii względności taki dodatek był sztuczny. Sam Einstein wprowadzenie tej stałej nazwał największą pomyłką swojego życia.

O koncepcji stałej kosmologicznej przypomniano sobie podczas prób kwantowania pola grawitacyjnego. Energia próżni, zakrzywiająca przestrzeń, zachowuje się analogicznie do stałej kosmologicznej: ciśnienie jest równe minus gęstości energii. Jednakże na gruncie obecnej teorii cząstek elementarnych, wartość energii próżni oszacowana na podstawie skali Plancka przekracza o kilkadziesiąt rzędów wielkości wielkość akceptowalną z punktu widzenia kosmologii, a w szczególności obserwowanych rozmiarów Wszechświata.

Od lat 90. o stałej kosmologicznej mówi się z powodu obserwacji dalekich supernowych, z których wynika, że Wszechświat rozszerza się coraz szybciej zamiast coraz wolniej. Można to wyjaśnić zakładając, że gęstość energii-materii jest zdominowana przez ciemną energię lub właśnie stałą kosmologiczną. Ponadto okazało się, że wiek Wszechświata oszacowany na podstawie obserwacji najstarszych gromad kulistych, powinien wynosić ponad 13 miliardów lat. W modelu Einsteina – de Sittera (bez stałej kosmologicznej) byłby on za mały w porównaniu z obserwacjami, przy założeniu stałej Hubble'a około 70 km/s/Mpc.

Równanie pola ma następująca postać:

gdzie:
  – tensor krzywizny Ricciego,
  – skalar krzywizny Ricciego,
  – tensor metryczny,
  – stała kosmologiczna,
  – tensor energii-pędu,
  – liczba pi,
  – prędkość światła w próżni,
  – stała grawitacji.

Wyraz ze stałą kosmologiczną można przenieść na drugą stronę równania Einsteina i zinterpretować jako tensor energii-pędu

Stała kosmologiczna odpowiada materii, której ciśnienie  jest ujemne. Równanie stanu można zapisać jako

z

Człon  podobnie jak skalar krzywizny przestrzeni, ma wymiar odwrotności powierzchni [m−2].

Przyjmuje się, że stała kosmologiczna jest bardzo bliska zera ().

Stała kosmologiczna o wartości dodatniej oznacza ujemne ciśnienie, a zatem przyspieszoną ekspansję próżni. Istnienie stałej kosmologicznej jest związane z ciemną energią (w XXI wieku określenie to jest coraz częściej używane w pracach kosmologów jako określenie neutralne) oraz z kosmiczną inflacją. Jako alternatywa dla energii próżni, rozważane jest pole skalarne występujące w roli ciemnej energii. Pole takie nazywane jest kwintesencją (wg Arystotelesa – piąty element przyrody).

Stała kosmologiczna jest często uznawana za szczególny przypadek kwintesencji, z równaniem stanu w którym
Z kolei z równań Einsteina wynika, iż aby uzyskać efekt przyspieszonej ekspansji, musi pojawić się  W ogólności, współczynnik w równaniu stanu nie musi być stały w czasie i może zależeć od przesunięcia ku czerwieni. Proponowane są różne modele potencjału pola skalarnego, szybko i wolnozmienne. Jednym z egzotycznych modeli jest tzw. gaz Czapłygina, w którym ciśnienie zależy od gęstości nieliniowo.

Bezpośrednia rekonstrukcja postaci potencjału pola skalarnego na podstawie danych obserwacyjnych byłaby obecnie bardzo trudna, ponieważ dane dla najdalszych supernowych sięgają tylko do około z=1,5.

W 2017 roku kilka zespołów badawczych przedstawiło analizy danych obserwacyjnych, zgodnie z którymi wartość stałej kosmologicznej zwiększa się wraz z wiekiem wszechświata.

Q: Fix Android layout (dp, margin etc.) although i read myself through several threads explaining the differences between dp,sp,px etc. and also tried to get a good layout,
I am still struggeling to get it done right for different phones.
I am using different fragments, but if I get help to make it all right in one fragment, I'm sure i will be able to fix the others on my own.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    <!--all paddings=0-->
    android:keepScreenOn="true"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    ...

    <fragment
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/fragmentBase"
        class="...FragmentBase" />

    <!--other fragments-->

</RelativeLayout>

So im trying to get a proper layout in that fragmentBase, which looks like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    <!--all paddings=0-->>
    <fragment
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/fragmentBase"
        class="...FragmentBase" />
    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="400dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
        android:requiresFadingEdge="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <!--elements-->

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="bottom">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.8"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            <!--other stuff-->/>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"

            android:layout_height="40dp"
            <!--other stuff--> />

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.7"
            android:layout_height="40dp"

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.5"
            android:layout_height="40dp"

        <Button

            android:layout_height="40dp"
            <!--other stuff--> />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Sooooo. The problem is basically, that the scrollview in some cases is too long, in other cases too short. Having a fixed layout_height="400dp" seems to be a mistake.
Also setting the height of the two button-rows to 40dp and have one 40dp above the other, both starting from the bottom doesn't seem to be such a good decision, but those buttons got background-images, so I can't use wrap_content.
How would the layout be correct? I want the scrollView to start right under my "header", so android:layout_marginTop="40dp" is more or less fixed, while the two buttonrows should be at the very bottom of the screen.
I guess I want the scrollview to be dynamic length.
Plz help :S

A: try to add this code to your scrollview
android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/linearlayout1"

and this
android:id="@+id/linearlayout1"

to your 40 margin layout
this may help

A: I'll try to help you out without rewriting all of the code above.
First I'll start by suggesting a few changes:

*

*You could set the height of the two LinearLayouts that contain the buttons to 40dp and set the buttons's heights to "match_parent"

*You could give both LinearLayouts that contain the buttons an id, let's say
android:id="@+id/row1"

and
android:id="@+id/row2"

Then set the bottom one (id=row2) to have
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

And the top one (id=row1) to have
android:layout_above="@id/row2"

*Once that is done you can set in the ScrollView the following parameters
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="@id/row1"

If I understood the problem, this should help. Hope what I wrote was usefull

Every life has a turning point where one choice changes everything. Once that line is crossed, there´s no going back. J.D. Jessup finds his line in the desert near Tucson, as far from his home as the moon. He's traded his guitar and the songs in his head for the daily grind of an organic farm - a mind-numbing existence that dulls the pain of his memories. His boss has one rule: if J. D. sees an illegal, call Border Patrol. But when an early morning ride along the fence line leads him to Maria, a beautiful young woman near death, J. D.'s heart pushes him toward another choice. Longing to atone for the mistakes that drove him to the desert, J. D. hides her and unleashes a chain of deadly events he could never have imagined. Soon the two are running from a killer and struggling to stay alive. As the secrets that haunt him collide with Maria's past, J. D. realizes that saving her may be the only way to save himself. Part thrill ride, part love story, Borders of the Heart is a tender yet gripping odyssey of hope.

Our Daily Lives

"It was an agonizing experience, and years later Ignatius spoke of it as 'butchery.'"[1]
The "it" was two separate attempts at surgery on his leg after a cannon ball shattered it in 1521, during St. Ignatius of Loyola's pre-Jesuit military career. Given the extent of this damage, I find it remarkable to read how, in the years that followed, Ignatius would push himself to such physical extremes by a) walking for days on end without shoes, and b) sneakily removing the soles of his shoes as a private discipline so that people would not notice he was, in fact, still walking with direct foot contact with the rough ground.
Given the physical challenge of a leg weakened by a cannon ball and 16th century surgery without anaesthetic, and then the huge distances he walked in his life (to Paris from Spain, for example), St. Ignatius has been in my thoughts recently, especially his multiple references to walking. In fact, "What would Ignatius think and do about this?" kept coming to mind as I read through a fascinating book, A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros.
Courtesy: Verso Press
Gros does not mention Ignatius of Loyola at all in this book, in which he surveys various philosophers throughout history and what they had to say about getting around on their own two legs. Woven throughout these intriguing vignettes (which include Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, and others) is Gros's own thoughts about what the act of walking can mean, in addition to it being "the best way to go more slowly than any other method that has ever been found."[2]
Now that I use a cane when walking I found the freedom that Gros experiences during his ever-longer treks both inspiring and challenging. Then, as I meandered my way through his intriguing book, I found myself substituting Gros's use of the word "walk" with "pray" and "walking" with "praying." The result was walking/thinking kind of "spiritual exercise" involving prayer and spiritual reflection, something the philosopher and author perhaps did not intend.
Walking (praying) can be boring, that's when you apply discipline, because "discipline is the impossible conquered by the obstinate repetition of the possible," he says. [3]
Walking (praying) is often the experience of doing nothing, "You are doing nothing when you walk, nothing but walking."[4] You do nothing when you pray, except pray.
In a chapter on pilgrimage, Gros says the pilgrim "would approach the holy shrine purified by pain and effort. For fatigue purifies, destroys pride, and renders prayer more transparent."[5] Then he adds a twist when he says that even though the walker may feel compelled to move toward a particular destination, the essential experience of being pilgrim is, in reality, that you are "not at home" wherever you might be walking (praying) toward. Floating somewhere in the unfamiliar when you think are headed somewhere else.
Walking (praying) is "temporary 'disconnection' from our daily lives: escape from the web for a few days, a brief out-of-system experience wandering untrodden paths."[6]
His chapter on solitude is an exploration of that familiar inner conversation as "even when I am alone, there is always this dialogue between the body and the soul. When the walking is continuous, I encourage, praise, and congratulate: good legs, carrying me along." [7] That interior conversation is a recognition that "when I walk I soon become two. My body and me: a couple, an old story. Truly the soul is the body's witness. An active vigilant witness."[8]
Walking (praying) "liberates thought. During that continuous but automatic effort of the body, the mind is placed at one's disposal. It is then that thought can arise, surface or take shape."[9]
Courtesy: Penguin Books
And it is this final line about walking and the thought that arise from it that brings me back to St. Ignatius, who in his 1544 Spiritual Diary, links walking with the emergence of new ways of thinking:
"A little later as I was walking and remembering what had happened, a new interior impulse of devotion and tears." [10]
"I continued walking with these thoughts and vested: they increased ever more, appearing to be a confirmation of what I had done, even if I received no consolation on this point." [11]
"I knelt for a long time, then I walked, and once more knelt, arguing along many, varied different lines of thought. I felt great satisfaction." [12]

This is Team 174's 2014 Drive Train, or rather one half of the drive train.
This is a photo of the completed steering assembly. Note how we used 3-D printed pulleys but used the manufacturers original gears, pressed into the pulleys, to drive the pulleys. By using these gears the force on the plactic is reduced by the increase in diameter and the teeth distribute the force into the plastic. As a test we ran the 256:1 transmission and motor into a solid object to ensure the 3-D pulleys would hold up. They never noticed.


33 children across years 3-6 took part in the Ceilidh Dance Festival held at the Jubilee Hall. The children have been practising for this festival during the Ceilidh Dancing club which has been run by Mrs Amos and Mrs Davey afterschool on a Thursday. The children have learnt many dances to lots of different pieces of music using traditional Ceilidh moves. Today, there were a variety of infant, junior and primary schools all performing together as a celebration of Ceilidh Dancing. Both Mrs Amos and Mrs Davey said how proud they were of the children and the way they performed and were able to remember the dances. They were very well behaved and showed our school values throughout the afternoon. An enjoyable afternoon was had by both children and adults!
Many thanks to Mrs Simpson and Miss Ekless who accompanied the children to the Jubilee Hall as well as the parents and family members who went along to support at the festival.

The water profession has long been known for its slowness to change, with many of our colleagues "justifying" this by extolling the virtue of being "conservative", because we protect public health. I have always been confused by this connection between "conservatism", "slow to change", and public health. In contrast, consider the airline industry. As we know, while there is more inherent risk (because none of us passengers have wings), it is actually one of the safest modes of travel because of the focus on safety.
Most relevant to this discussion is the fact that the airline industry has continuously upgraded its processes and procedures and incorporated new technologies to improve its safety performance. This approach – constantly evaluating and adopting new technologies and approaches in a thoughtful manner – is, in my mind, the behavior of a profession that is truly focused on public safety.
As noted in the title of this blog, I am encouraged by the changing mindset that I see in the water profession. This might be driven by the fact that we recognise that we, truly, are not protecting the public health (or the environment) as we should, along with a recognition that the impact of climate change falls disproportionately on water. Moreover, we see clearly that we can do better, but have to change.
Rapid advances in science are providing increased understanding of what is possible (the discovery of anaerobic ammonia oxidation – anammox – is a prime example), and advances in areas such as material science and manufacturing are providing new means to convert this improved scientific understanding into useful technologies.
Mindsets are changing, leading to an increased appetite for higher performing approaches. The one water concept, where water supply (including drinking water), used water (not wastewater), and stormwater are viewed as an integrated whole, is both catching on and is enabled by new technologies (water use efficiency, non-potable and potable reuse); the revival of historic practices (such as rainwater harvesting); and integration of engineered and natural treatment systems. Recognition of the potential to recover resources from the water cycle is leading to Water and Resource Recovery Facilities, not just wastewater treatment plants.
The Cities of the Future paradigm is leading us to engage more broadly with the public, city planners, and community leaders to achieve water-sensitive urban areas, where water is an integral component of the urban landscape making broad and diverse contributions to the livability of urban areas beyond the simple provision of water service.
We are beginning to understand that the Human Right to Water and Sanitation is more than the simple physical provision of water service, but that our service has human and societal dimensions such as equity, transparency, and participation. These changing mindsets are causing us to act differently, and thereby achieve results that benefit society in increasingly important ways.
I have been a member of the water community for quite some time, and I am blessed with relationships with mentors that allow me a view of this profession that precedes my direct involvement. This allows me to conclude that the current pace of positive change and innovation greatly exceeds that of even the "glory days" of the construction grants programme in the U.S., and the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive in the EU. These were simple extensions of the past, but not the true and needed reinvention beginning now. This is why I say that we are turning the corner.
Do we have much to do yet?
Absolutely! Not only must we keep going, we must accelerate the positive change already occurring. But, we are headed in the right direction. We are members of what can be a truly noble profession, as long as we continue to exhibit the courage to change, innovate, and strive to contribute to society in the broadest and deepest way. Let's continue to preserve what is essential, but change what needs to be changed, as we truly reinvent our profession.


Could you use a vacuum to dry clothes?
Would it be practical to build a large vacuum chamber, put the clothes inside, pump the air out and therefore lower the pressure, and that makes the water in the clothes boil or evaporate off? Would the clothes survive the experiment? And would it be energy efficient?
It would certainly work. Drying things by evacuating them definitely works, its how chemists dry chemicals quite often and its how you freeze-dry things like coffee. To be honest I don't know quite how the thermo-dynamics work or whether you use more energy or less energy than you would by just burning gas and heating it up.

It features a big bend on one side only that makes styling a breeze while adding hours and hours of natural hold that can support light dancing and all night partying. It comes in multiple colors and three different sizes to work better with all types of hair.
