David Fagan, solicitor and senior business consultant with Business Legal, writes on the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation.
Personal data related to EU residents will soon be protected by GDPR. Data controllers will be responsible for that data, wherever it resides. Organisations holding data on EU citizens must comply with GDPR, and any other organisation with which they share data must also comply with GDPR.
The relationship with a data partner cannot just be based on trust. The relationship must be documented with a written data processing agreement; otherwise, neither company will be complying with the rules. One sure sign of a non-compliant partner is the failure to enter into a data processing agreement.
To protect any data, a business first needs to know what data it deals with. Step One of GDPR compliance is an audit of personal data held.
Names and addresses are just the tip of the iceberg: Identifiers can be almost anything, including IP addresses, cookies, biometric data, DNA, and even pseudonymised data where only a limited number of people know the identity of the data subject(s).
For data processors outside the EU or EEA, it gets a little more complex and requires the use Of a transfer mechanism approved by the EU. The most common of which are Model Form Contracts and Privacy Shield Registration. The rules are designed so that organisations handling EU data are brought within the jurisdiction of the GDPR.
Another thing to watch out for is consumer cloud services that aren't designed for business use. Users often assume that the provider is GDPR compliant, but many organisations providing freeware to consumers have no incentive to be GDPR compliant. IT professionals will either have to block use of such services entirely or have some sort of mechanism to ensure compliance. With just weeks before the May 25 deadline, some cloud service providers have waited until the last possible moment to announce mechanisms to allow compliance. If a cloud service provider hasn't said anything about GDPR compliance yet, then it raises some serious questions about whether they will be compliant in time.
Compliant cloud service providers will have data processing agreements and transfer mechanisms available, so it should be a simple task to discover if a provider is offering GDPR compliant services. If no data processing agreement is available, then it likely means they are not GDPR compliant.
One key reason to have data controllers that understand their GDPR responsibilities is that it is their responsibility to report any breach of data within 72 hours of it being discovered. Failure to do that could incur catastrophic fines for them.
Step 1. GDPR compliance starts by knowing what personal data is held by an Organisation. That audit is the first step, as you need to know what you need to protect and where that data resides.
Step 2. If that data leaves the network, whether via remote storage or third-party processing, you must ensure contractually that the data is secure.
Step 3. Any third party handling the data must be able to provide a legally binding controller processor agreement. Does that third-party offer a GDPR compliant controller processing agreement that complies with the GDPR requirements?
Step 4. If yes, sign the agreement.
Step 5. If no, will they have GDPR compliant data processing agreements available before May 25th?
Step 6. If still no, look for another organisation that offers similar services and can offer a GDPR compliant data processing agreement.

Having just returned from a successful pop-up venture in Mexico, René Redzepi and the Noma team have been busy preparing for the reopening of the restaurant at a new site in Copenhagen later this year by doing what they do best, apart from cooking of course: foraging.
They're spending the summer visiting farms and fisheries, and scouring the countryside all over Northern Europe for inspiration. Luckily for us, Redzepi has been documenting his discoveries on social media, giving us a tantalising glimpse into the creation of the Noma 2.0 menu. He's also just launched a foraging app.
Some of the ingredients look amazing, including tiny little forest onions, fragrant Alexanders flowers, and all sorts of berries and beautiful seafood.
The old Noma space meanwhile is now home to restaurant Barr, with chef Thorsten Schmidt at the helm, and for those who can't wait until the opening of Noma 2.0, did you know there's a new Noma pop-up happening in Copenhagen this summer?

Rugby 2014: Final Four Thursday from the BC boys AAA and AA championship tourneys
Howard Tsumura
Updated: May 29, 2014 3:21 PM PDT
Keep checking back here today as we update the results of the four semifinal games at the AAA and AA BC bus high school rugby championships in Abbotsford (full championship-side schedule and scoreboard below).
SEMIFINAL GAME 2
SHAWNIGAN LAKE 35 LORD BYNG 13
ABBOTSFORD — When you've won an unprecedented five straight titles at the largest tier in B.C. high school rugby, chasing No. 6 comes with an outside sense of expectation that is hard to quantify.
The Shawnigan Lake Stags, however, are just keeping themselves busy with the task of each and every game put before them.
On Thursday, the undefeated powerhouse from Vancouver Island got something of a rarity over its dynastic stretch at the B.C. championships: A second straight push from its opposition within the quarterfinal-semifinal juncture of the four-stage provincial tournament.
"I thought we played well today against a good team that made us work for all we got and had us under pressure," Shawnigan head coach Tim Murdy explained following his team's 35-13 win over an excellent, well-prepared squad of Lord Byng Grey Ghosts at Abbotsford's Rotary Stadium.
"I think the teams are better served with tougher matches whether in playoffs or the regular season," Murdy explained when asked to comment on the fact that both Yale and Byng put forth gutsy efforts against his No. 1-ranked team. "It forces them into better habits and holds them more accountable when they make the wrong choices. Hopefully, these games have prepared us well."
With the Stags set to face arch-rival St. George's in a rematch of last season's final, and the Saints coming off a 51-3 win over Oak Bay in its semifinal, Shawnigan will have to play its best match of the season to keep its championship shield another year.
"Saints are a very good rugby school and always have been," said Murdy, whose charges topped St. George's 10-8 early in the season. "It's going to be a very difficult match and we have a ton of respect for the way they play the game and the job that their coaches do. It's going to be a very tough match, hopefully for them, too. It's the two best teams in the province and that is what the finals should be."
With an off day to prepare, the Stags, like the Saints, will relish the opportunity to lick wounds and consolidate their focus.
"As we speak, they are sore and tired," said Murdy, "and I think that they are very excited and relieved. Like I said earlier this week, there is a certain amount of pressure that comes with wearing the jersey. There is a sense of relief and great sense of excitement. They are a great group of kids."
TRIPLE A GAME 1
ST. GEORGE'S 51 OAK BAY 3
ABBOTSFORD — Vancouver's St. George's Saints will get the chance to finish their 2014 season with no regrets.
Powered by a stifling defensive effort, the Lower Mainland powerhouse steamed its way to a decisive 51-3 win over Victoria's Oak Bay Barbarians on Thursday in the first of two semifinals at the B.C. boys Triple A rugby championships.
Getting its mettle tested in Wednesday's 32-17 quarterfinal win over North Vancouver's Carson Graham Eagles, the Saints seemed to be a side determined to respond better to the kind of physical treatment handed them by Carson.
In turn, Saints head coach Mike Stiles felt the response 14 hours later helped his team get better and put itself in a chance to win a provincial title on Saturday.
"I think the boys played well," Stiles said of his team's effort versus Oak Bay. "They had a very physical game with Carson, which is what we needed. Carson Graham had improved tremendously over the season and so our guys came into today really fired up to be better than yesterday."
Saints accumulated tries by the bushel against the Barbarians, including those scored by the likes of Theo Sauder and Braden Lukas.
Marc Levin was a standout from his outside centre position, while Jackson Au and Phil Berna at hooker and No. 8 respectively, shone in defensive assignments.
"We have a core group of 50-to-60 guys, and we have 33 here," continued Stiles. "The No. 1 thing I can say as a coach is that they are all friends, and that is probably their strongest asset. They have been focussed on getting to Saturday ever since we lost to Shawnigan (20-10 in the 2013 final)."
DOUBLE A GAME 2
COLLINGWOOD 38 HUGH MCROBERTS 5
ABBOTSFORD — Whether metaphoric or not, West Vancouver's Collingwood Cavaliers played like a certain force of nature on Thursday, turning in a gale-force performance that has carried it all the way to Saturday's B.C. boys Double A rugby championship final for the fifth straight year.
"There was a big wind out here so we took the wind in the first half and really pinned them down," said Cavs coach Dave Speirs after Collingwood topped a short-handed but gutsy McRoberts Strikers team from Richmond 38-5. "To be honest, they were missing two of their best guys and at Double A where our rosters are not as deep, it can be hard to recover from that. It gave us some early momentum, but really, we rucked well in the first half. That was a big key for us."
Leading 19-0 at the half, the Cavs got tries on the day from Owen Stout, Bailey Speirs, Henry Cleghorn, James Kardos, Adam Bushell and Elias Ergas. Bushell also kicked four converts.
The victory, of course, sets up not only a rematch of last season's championship derby final against crosstown foe Rockridge, but the match also double as the rubber match of a three-game set this season.
Collingwood won the opener, the Roger Hatch Shield game, while the Ravens came on to top Collingwood in the Lower Mainland championship final.
"It's going to be a war," laughed Speirs. "We know Rockridge will be strong at what they do well, and that is their great ruck and ferocious tackling. We have to match that and hope the breaks go our way. But it's going to be a true test for both teams. In a tiny way, this is going to be a lot like what high school sports is like in the states, the big rivalry which makes it fun for both sides.
The championship final kicks off at 2:30 pm on Saturday.
ROCKRIDGE 20 ST. MICHAELS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL 17
ABBOTSFORD — The Rockridge Ravens played a game of two halves Thursday as the B.C. boys high school rugby championships reached the semifinal round at Abbotsford's Rotary Stadium.
From their perspective, they could only be thankful that their first half was better than their second.
Mitch Cameron scored a pair of tries, and Rick Cross added another while Angus Carroll booted a convert and a penalty as the West Vancouver school insured itself a repeat trip to finals, holding off Victoria's St. Michaels University School Blue Jags 20-17.
"We rushed out to a big lead (20-3) but then our discipline let us down in the second half," said Rockridge head coach Perino Zambon, whose charges lost in last season's final to crosstown rival Collingwood. "At the start we played the way we can play. Disciplined. Smart. Physical. In the second half we made some poor choices and gave away some penalties. Then frustration crept in. But St. Mike's is a hard team to play. They throw it very well they are expansive and they have some very athletic guys, especially on the wings. They can make up 14 points in a hurry."
The fact that both teams were playing their second game in as many days?
"I'd rather not even make an issue of it," said Zambon. "And I can't speak for SMUS. But these are tough kids, they're young and they work hard and they empower each other. And remember, back in the day it used to be four games in four days."

Hack for the homeless: Free voicemail, texting, email
May 23, 2011, 5:25 PM UTC
By Nidhi Subbaraman
A new service called Joinable could bring voicemail, texting, and email access to the unconnected — for free.
A hack group, also called Joinable, threw together this system over the weekend, and hopes to hand it off to a non-profit organization or homeless shelter when they're finished, TechCrunch reports.
Here's how it works: The system is monitored by an administrator, who can assign a toll-free 800 number to individuals. Users can recieve voicemails and texts on that number, which also comes with an an email account.
Overseen by an administrator, this system could be installed by an organization like a homeless shelter or prison at a very low cost. This would mean that they could afford to let people sign up for an account for free, to be used as communication tool on a job search, for example, while monitoring the service to see that it is not misused.
This service could be pretty useful in a number of scenarios, TechCrunch notes:
Probation officers could keep an eye on the job hunts of those under their watch, while organizations like mental health treatment programs or battered women's shelters could ensure that they always have a secure way of contacting those they're trying to help. If it's a non-profit organization that ever needs to reach out to those who may not have any extra cash for a cell phone bill, there's probably a use or two to be conjured up.
Joinable is just one of several new hacks and products beginning to trickle out of the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon that took place in NYC this weekend.

Mean, Tough & Making History
Keilyn Torres|February 23, 2018
For the first time in Phoenix's history four wrestlers were declared state qualifiers.
Senior Jason Lua and juniors Kevin Rodriguez, Martin Martinez and Omar Perez were all named State Qualifiers after their victories at sectionals.
"In my honest opinion words cannot describe how I feel. Although this is my first time making PMA history, it surely won't be my last," said Perez.
This season was definitely a different season with a new coach along, and stricter schedule. The wrestlers had to put in more than hours in order to prepare for this. Wrestlers needed to make sure they were on point with their weight and training.
"You have good days and bad days and good weeks and bad weeks," said Coach Curin.
The team not only had to deal with hard practices and consistent days, but also with some losses and people who quit the team.
"I'm glad I didn't quit. My instincts always brought me back to the coaches and the team for another day of practice," said senior Jason Lua.
Although the team faced a lot of obstacles they managed to overcome them and make their mark in the books.
On February 15th the four state qualifiers and Coach Curin arrived at the University of Illinois to compete at the IHSA state wrestling competition. Although the four did not advance, the experience is one that they will not forget.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, a dramatic and historic move that comes as the President faces outrage over reports that he pressured a foreign leader in an effort to target a political rival.
The announcement marks the most direct step taken by the House Democratic leader to embrace impeachment proceedings and is a significant escalation in the fight between House Democrats and the President.
"Today, I am announcing the House of Representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry," Pelosi said in a brief speech in the Capitol, adding, "The President must be held accountable. No one is above the law."
"Actions taken to date by the President have seriously violated the Constitution," the House speaker said.
The House speaker, who has long pushed to keep her caucus away from the politically divisive issue, is responding to the seismic shift among Democratic members, following Trump's admission of discussing Vice President Joe Biden and his son in his phone call with the Ukrainian President. Dozens of House Democrats – many from moderate or Trump-won districts – have announced their support for an impeachment inquiry over the past 48 hours.
"This week, the President has admitted to asking the President of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically. The actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the President's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections," Pelosi said in her public remarks.
In advance of that statement, Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer also announced plans to vote on a resolution of disapproval on Wednesday for allegations "that the President of the United States sought to enlist a foreign government to interfere in our democratic process by investigating one of his political rivals – and may have used the withholding of Congressionally-appropriated foreign assistance days earlier as intimidation." Their statement did not mention impeachment.
Pelosi consulted Tuesday afternoon with the six House Democratic leaders to discuss their presentation to the caucus later in the day, Democratic sources familiar with the issue said. In that closed-door meeting before her public announcement, Pelosi said the six chairmen will continue to investigate under a powerful new umbrella of an impeachment inquiry.
A separate source in the room said the speaker added, "Here we are. A moment of truth. Truth is what this has been about all along."
"He's taken it to another level of betrayal therefore we're moving forward with another level of inquiry," Pelosi said.
Behind the scenes, Pelosi has encouraged members of her caucus to state their impeachment position now in order to show there is a groundswell in the caucus. She is also conveying that message to freshmen.
On Tuesday, Pelosi also told the caucus that the impeachment inquiry will be done "expeditiously," but wasn't specific in her timeframe, according to a source in the room.
Rep. Jackie Speier told CNN that the President's actions in regards to Ukraine were so egregious, that there has been a "dramatic" shift by Pelosi.
"I think she's very laser-focused on this offense as being so egregious that it warrants a full blown impeachment inquiry," she said.
Asked what the timeline is for this, she said, "swiftly."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said on Tuesday after Pelosi's remarks, "I only have one thing to say, full speed ahead."
Tide changing for Pelosi allies and vulnerable House freshmen
Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis on Tuesday announced his support for impeachment proceedings, arguing that "now is the time to act" and any delay "would betray the foundation of our democracy."
"We will never find the truth unless we use the power given to the House of Representatives and the House alone to begin an official investigation as dictated by the Constitution," the Georgia Democrat said in a speech on the House floor. "The future of our democracy is at stake."
Some of Pelosi's closest allies, including House Reps. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Debbie Dingell of Michigan, have signaled their support for impeachment proceedings — a significant indicator that the speaker could be moving closer to backing the divisive political procedure.
Another crucial development has been multiple high profile freshmen Democrats in districts Trump won in 2016 either coming out publicly to fully endorse the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry or at least opening the door to proceedings, citing Trump's actions as forcing them to act.
One of those freshman Democrats, Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, stressed on CNN "New Day" Tuesday that "none of us ran on impeaching the President." But she argued that the allegation that Trump might have tried leveraging foreign military aid to advance his reelection efforts was "just a line that I think was too much for all of us."

Pelosi has cited the House members in GOP-leaning districts as part of her hesitance to embrace impeachment, and the groundswell of statements over the past 48 hours could signal a tipping point in the political calculus.
"If investigations confirm recent reports, these actions represent impeachable offences that threaten to undermine the integrity of our elections and jeopardize the balance of power within the federal government," Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan said in a statement Tuesday. Stevens had told CNN last month that she had "mixed reviews from the people of my district" on the issue of whether to move forward with impeachment proceedings.
So far, as many as 165 House Democrats have publicly stated their support for an impeachment inquiry into Trump, according to a CNN count, and that doesn't include the House Democrats who've said in recent days that the President's behavior is a turning point in Democrats' oversight into the administration.
Pelosi has, for months, resisted pursuing impeachment because she has sought to protect vulnerable Democrats in GOP-leaning districts who could face voter backlash.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a member of House Judiciary, told CNN on Tuesday morning that he believes articles of impeachment are "inevitable" and said there's a "growing clamor throughout the Democratic caucus" to deal with Trump's "reckless and lawless" behavior.
Some holdouts remain
But some vulnerable Democrats in 2020 are still treading cautiously on the issue.
Rep. Ben McAdams of Utah told CNN on Tuesday that he's "considering" impeachment, but didn't want to discuss the issue further.
"Before making any judgments, I want to know the facts of what occurred between the President and Ukraine," McAdams said. "I share Sen. (Mitt) Romney's view that If the President used his position to pressure a foreign power to dig up dirt on a rival for his own personal gain, it would be deeply troubling. I believe it would be a betrayal of the loyalty owed to our country and the Constitution."
Rep. Max Rose, another endangered House Democrat, told CNN that he has not moved off his opposition to impeachment, but argued that "we have to get to the facts" of the allegations.
"It is impossible to not take these allegations seriously. It is a national security matter," the New York Democrat said Tuesday on Capitol Hill, adding, "It's incredibly serious … what I'm not going to do is jump to make another declaration."
Asked if that meant he is opposed to moving ahead on impeachment, Rose said, "My current position right now is clear, but that is not a justification to not take these points as seriously as possible."
Rep. Susan Wild stood up during the Democratic caucus meeting on Tuesday and argued that Pelosi should cancel some of the upcoming two week recess to not lose momentum, according to a source in the room.
The House, at the end of the week, will recess for two weeks for a district work period over the Yom Kippur and Columbus Day holidays.
CNN previously reported that Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a July 25 call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, according to a person familiar with the situation.
There has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.
That call was also part of a whistleblower complaint submitted to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, which hasn't been shared with lawmakers despite calls from Democrats.
Trump acknowledged on Sunday that he discussed the former Vice President Joe Biden in a phone call over the summer with Ukraine's president, but denied doing anything improper.
CNN confirmed that Trump asked his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to put a hold on millions in military aid to Ukraine roughly one week before a call with Zelensky, two senior administration officials said on Monday. The Washington Post first reported this.
In her public remarks on Tuesday, Pelosi said, "The law is unequivocal: it says the DNI, director of national intelligence, shall provide congress the full whistleblower complaint," Pelosi said.
Earlier this month, the House Judiciary Committee approved a resolution defining the rules of the panel's impeachment investigation. That vote came, however, as Democrats struggled to publicly define the committee probe with Nadler saying the committee is conducting an impeachment inquiry, while Pelosi and other Democratic leaders had refrained from calling it that.
In a nod to the ongoing investigations in the House, Pelosi said on Tuesday, "For the past several months we have been investigating in our committees and litigating in the courts so that the House can gather all the relevant facts and consider whether to exercise its full Article I powers, including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity, approval of articles of impeachment."
The House Speaker also said in her speech, "I can say with authority the Trump administration's actions undermine both our national security and our intelligence and our protections of whistleblowers."
This story is breaking and will be updated.

Religious Leaders Delegation to Canberra
Recently ARRCC organised a delegation of Religious Leaders from a number of states to visit Parliament House in Canberra and meet with the Prime Minister and other politicians about the urgent need for climate action. Following the visit a public forum was held.
Summary of the event
In all, 28 religious leaders attended ARRCC's events, representing many different faith backgrounds, including Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian (Anglican, Baptist, Catholic and Uniting Churches), Jain, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh religions.
Over 20 meetings were held with politicians, including with Julia Gillard, Greg Hunt, Andrew Wilkie. The delegation urged the Government and Coalition to carefully consider the structure of a tax on carbon, and to think more broadly about options for reducing carbon emissions. They advocated for public investment and incentives for the creation of renewable energy, stronger mandatory energy efficiency standards and substantial adaptation funding for developing countries.
At the meeting with the Prime Minister, delegates congratulated Julia Gillard on her stand to put a price on carbon but insisted it should be only one of a number of measures to bring down emissions. They advocated public investment and incentives for the creation of renewable energy, stronger mandatory energy efficiency standards and substantial adaptation funding for developing countries. They also expressed concern that Australia is not doing enough to finance adaptation in developing countries.
Spokesperson Bishop George Browning (retired Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra/Goulburn) said: "As a wealthy country Australia can afford a carbon tax, while ensuring low income households are protected from undue hardship. Indeed we cannot afford not to act when the stakes are so high. We are talking about our grandchildren's future and that of the poor. If we believe the best science available, we are talking about nothing less than the future of life on earth." However the Prime Minister could only agree with the delegation up to a point. She told the group, "Australia first needs to set up a mechanism to cut emissions, then we can have a discussion about what more and what else."
At the public forum, held at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Bishop Browning opened the discussion with a theological position paper. Respondents were Mark Dreyfus, Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change, Shadow Minister, Greg Hunt, and Dr Janette Lindesay, a climate scientist. There was unanimity among all speakers that climate change is real and requires us to reduce our emissions.
Mark Dreyfus went so far as to say that climate science isn't a matter of choosing to believe or not. "You don't get to choose to believe in, or not believe in, the physics behind the operation of a car", he said. However it was Bishop Browning who conveyed the strongest sense of urgency for action. He said, "The religious perspective is that our well-being is more about a sustainable relationship with our environment and others with whom we share the planet. It is not about economic growth, our capacity to consume or minimising costs of taking responsible action." He also said, "Our generation has been given humanity's last chance to avert a climate emergency. Our grandchildren will just have to bear with the results of what we decide to do now."
The unity among the religious leaders is noteworthy amid the confusion in the carbon tax debate today and it this commonality amongst the major religious traditions that is a driving force behind ARRCC's mission.
Quotes from Participants
"I hope that you are delighted with all of this. You should be. You did an amazing job. Thank you. It was an experience of a lifetime for many of us, I'm sure, and it modelled new ways of working together as faith communities in Australia. I am sure it will reap benefits for all of us and for our country and planet, even if in many unseen ways. "
- Sr Jan Barnett sosj, representing the Sisters of St Joseph, established by St Mary McKillop
"Thank you for the theological paper and more particularly for all you did to organise the wonderful gathering in Canberra. I think it was a very worthwhile action. Did you see the photo in the SMH? Great. "
- Sr Margaret Hinchey rsm, representing Catholics in Coalition for Justice and Peace
"Warmest congratulations on a very successful ARRCC event of national importance. You must be pleased with the media coverage it received. Your hard work in organising it is highly appreciated. "
- Mr Manjit Singh Gilhotra, spokesperson for the Canberra Sikh Association
"What a superb and significant day yesterday was! I felt privileged to have a tiny part in it and am sorry I couldn't get back to ACCC in the evening for family reasons. Friends who went said it was a very stimulating night and came away with more hope about mustering the humanity to turn the complex problem of climate change around. The leadership of religious leaders is felt by many -- including me -- as an enormous relief, and guidance to follow with the full commitment of heart and mind."
- Dr Glenda Cloughley, Jungian analyst and composer of the mythic story-song about climate change, "The Gifts of the Furies".
Following the meetings and forum, ARRCC has received significant media coverage. While ARRCC welcomes the media coverage and the opportunity to demonstrate that people of faith care about climate change and want our political representatives to take action, unfortunately some media reports of ARRCC's views and the views of the gathered leaders have been over-simplified and, in some cases, are inaccurate.
To clarify, present in Canberra were members and non-members of ARRCC, all supportive of strong action on climate change. ARRCC is glad to have been able to facilitate the participation of a diversity of people, and to have enabled them to express their views to our elected leaders and to the media.
As detailed in our official policy positions paper, ARRCC promotes a range of policies, including a reassessment of national measures of prosperity, a transition away from fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), public investment in renewable energy, Australia massively increasing its contribution to adaptation financing for developing countries, stopping the logging of old growth forests, stricter mandatory energy efficiency standards, and more. We support a well-designed carbon tax, but not an emissions trading scheme as eventually envisaged by the Gillard Labor Government.
Given the current focus of debate in Australia, the religious leaders gathering in Canberra promoted certain principles on which carbon pricing should be based, such as no free permits for polluters, minimal compensation to so-called trade-exposed industries and flexibility such that Australia could rapidly go well beyond the current low targets for emissions reductions. None of these are part of the Government's position. ARRCC is non-partisan, and supports elements of the policies of each of the major parties.

"A fresh voice in crime fiction. Fast, funny, heartbreaking and wise.... Elouise Norton is the best new character you'll meet this year." (Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author, on Rachel Howzell Hall's Land of Shadows)
Along the ever-changing border of gentrifying Los Angeles, 17-year-old Monique Darson is found dead at a condominium construction site, hanging in the closet of an unfinished unit. Homicide Detective Elouise "Lou" Norton's new partner, Colin Taggert, fresh from the comparatively bucolic Colorado Springs police department, assumes it's a teenage suicide. Lou isn't buying the easy explanation.
For one thing, the condo site is owned by Napoleon Crase, a self-made millionaire...and the man who may have murdered Lou's missing sister, Tori, 30 years ago. As Lou investigates the death of Monique Darson, she uncovers undeniable links between the two cases. But her department is skeptical.
Lou is convinced that when she solves Monique's case she will finally bring her lost sister home. But as she gets closer to the truth, she also gets closer to a violent killer. After all this time, can he be brought to justice...before Lou becomes his next victim?

New Crime Fiction Series
I really enjoyed the first book of this new series! I heard an interview on NPR with black, crime fiction writers and thought I would research their topics. I was looking for a crime series that would keep me entertained and this hit the mark extremely well. I also had to admit, that I had not read many black authors in this genre and was excited to delve into a book with a different perspective. As a first book in a detective series the author did a great job introducing and developing the detective and her partner. It is set in LA and you should definitely give this a try. I've read many detective series over the years and this one is not trite, but also easy to get into. I enjoyed the plot, the twists, getting to know Elouise, her partner, family and friends. I'm starting the next one, which is what I was looking for. I also listened to this through Audible and the performer was FANTASTIC. As the book progresses there are more and more characters and she creates a new and believable voice for each one. I was very, very impressed and it made the book even more enjoyable.
Tawni Winns
I was looking for a black female detective novel and I found it! Detective Norton was funny, real, and tough. Liked that there was a twist at the end.
Will read the next in the series.
This one is, well, let me just say, you will not see it coming. This book has a lot of twist, a lot of suspects and plenty of motives. But, well worth the walk through the weeds with the detectives as they attempt to solve a murder.
DocHawk
I felt like I won the lottery when I discovered this book. Everything was wonderful, from the excellent narration to the story itself which was beautifully plotted and beautifully written. A perfect police procedural, everything done right.
The narrator should have pronounced the Lt's as Rodriguez, not in an over pronounced Hispanic accent. It was quite disconcerting
Applause! Applause!Applause!
Fresh well done, the author was very thoughtful with dialogue. The mystery was not obvious but an entertaining journey.
The performance was perfectly matched the the great writing. I can't wait to read more in this series
I'm hooked
Was looking for a couple of good detective authors and stumbled on Hall. Loved the first one. And the performance by Fleming kept me engaged on the story.
Cyn B.
Great mix of characters!
I enjoyed the book. There's a good mix of characters and the narrator did a good job with most of them. The story kept me guessing up to the very end. I look forward to reading more from this author!
Yes! A Black Female Detective story!
What a great story! I've been searching for a black female mystery thriller author and I'm so glad I found Ms. Hall. This was well written and well told mystery that kept my attention for the whole ride! I loved it! I can't wait to read the rest of the series and more from Ms. Hall!

It is a nuisance definitely to find some faulty parts on a vehicle and avert owners from enjoying its full use.
Broken parts on a dirt bike can spell tragedy for its driver and broad destruction to the machine. In a motorcycle, the shelter and collateral provided by a four wheel vehicle on each angle doesn't exist as such, when its rear wheel locks up at 70 mph it could skid out of charge and throw its rider. What's more heartrending is to know that the cause of the bump is for the reason that of a cracked part.

Having ample account for this would, in spite of this run risks for your pocket.

Don't ever miss out on crucial details, like, how old can the used part be? How fitting will it be to your bike's model and make? Next, it is understandable to be skeptical, after all, the World Wide Web is full of BS and scams. You have to be cautious to avoid those who make daft claims that assume you to consider them.

The findings were unveiled in analysis from Oxford Economics
Published by Editor Richard Bell on 12 Nov 2018
New data sheds light on Drax Group's £609m Northern Powerhouse impact
Energy firm Drax Group contributed nearly £1.6bn towards the UK GDP in 2017, according to new data.
The figure includes £609m generated across the Northern Powerhouse region, up from £577m the year previous, along with 5,700 jobs throughout the North East, Yorkshire & Humber and the North West.
The findings were unveiled in analysis from Oxford Economics that looked at the impact of Drax's UK operation, which includes Drax power station in Selby.
The facility employs around 900 people and is the UK's largest power station. Four of its six generating units have been converted to use compressed wood pellets, generating 15% of the country's renewable electricity in 2017.
Oxford Economics researchers used three measures to calculate Drax's GDP contribution – economic activity associated with its day-to-day running; activity created by the purchase of goods and services from suppliers; and wages of employees and supplier employees spent in their areas.
Since transforming to use biomass instead of coal, Drax power station has become Europe's largest decarbonisation project.
The conversion of the fourth generating unit helped the UK as a whole reach another green milestone this year, when power-generating capacity available from renewables outstripped fossil fuels for the first time.
Drax is also embarking on a bioenergy carbon capture and storage pilot project that it says is the first of its kind in Europe. Using tech developed by Leeds University spinout C-Capture, it could enable power produced at Drax to become carbon negative – meaning it actually reduces carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere.
Drax Power CEO Andy Koss said: "This new report shows that as well as being of major significance nationally as the country's biggest renewable power generator, Drax Power Station continues to play a crucial role in supporting the northern economy.
"Thanks to a sophisticated supply chain that spans both the east and west coasts of the country, Drax supported almost 6,000 jobs across the North of England last year and generated £600m in economic activity."
He continued: "We work with hundreds of businesses across the Northern Powerhouse region to ensure millions of UK homes and businesses have the power they need each day.
"The North of England has a rich heritage in providing energy to the rest of the UK. Drax continues to play a vital role in providing the country with flexible, low carbon generation, to support the system as it continues to decarbonise. Our strategy for moving beyond coal, is enabling us to preserve the life of the power station, protect jobs and ensure we continue to make an important contribution to the region's economy."
Nigel Adams, MP for Selby and Ainsty, commented: "Drax is a key economic asset both in Selby and nationwide. As the country's single largest generator of renewable electricity, the business is a key part of the local community and supports employment and skills in the region.
"Drax has a rich history but has been keen to look to the future and further ways in which it can continue to innovate, enriching our community."

About the Spacecraft
SMAP will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze-thaw state. These measurements will enhance understanding of processes that link Earth's water, energy and carbon cycles. SMAP will extend current capabilities in weather and climate prediction. SMAP data will be used to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities. SMAP is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.
OCO-2 will study and make time-dependent global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide. It will provide the first complete picture of human and natural carbon dioxide sources and "sinks," the places where the gas is pulled out of the atmosphere and stored. The observatory's high-resolution measurements will help scientists better understand the processes that regulate atmospheric carbon dioxide. The OCO-2 project is managed by JPL.
JPSS-1 is the successor to the Suomi-National Polar Partnership (NPP) spacecraft, which was launched in October 2011 as a joint mission between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and operated by the JPSS Program. The JPSS Program is the former National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Program. The JPSS system includes the satellite's sensors and ground system supporting civil weather, climate measurements and data sharing with other U.S. agencies and international partners.
JPSS-1 will make afternoon observations as it orbits Earth, providing continuity of critical data and imagery observations for accurate weather forecasting, reliable severe storm outlooks and global measurements of atmospheric and oceanic conditions such as sea surface temperatures and ozone. JPSS-1 will increase the timeliness, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of public warnings and forecasts of weather, climate and other environmental events, reducing the potential loss of human life and property.
Jason-3 is an operational ocean altimetry mission designed to measure precisely sea surface height to monitor ocean circulation and sea level. Jason-3 will follow in the tradition of previous missions such as TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1 and the Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2. The Jason-3 mission will be developed and operated as part of an international effort led by NOAA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites in collaboration with NASA and the French space agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales.
Processed data from the satellite will be used in a broad range of applications including operational ocean and weather forecasting, ocean wave modeling, hurricane intensification prediction, seasonal forecasting, El Nino and La Nina forecasting and climate research. The data will help address questions about global climate change.

Do you suspect that you're dealing with a mouse infestation? If so, then contacting a pest management company about mouse extermination in Crystal Lake could be significant for protecting your health. There are a number of diseases that can be spread by rodents and their fleas, droppings, urine, or saliva, so ridding your home of this pest can be important for your family's wellness. Continue reading to learn about the health risks associated with this type of problem and why it's important to call an exterminator about mouse control.
Transmitted to people via rodents, usually white-footed deer mice, hantavirus is a disease that can be potentially life-threatening. Humans usually contract this illness through inhalation or exposure to the droppings, urine, or saliva of infected rodents. For this reason, the chances of becoming ill with hantavirus increase when people share living spaces with rodents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people infected with hantavirus typically exhibit early symptoms that include muscle aches, fatigue, and fevers. Chills, headaches, abdominal problems, and dizziness are also symptoms of this disease.
Typically contracted by eating contaminated food, salmonellosis is a type of food poisoning. This disease is spread by rodent feces and can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. There are many kinds of salmonellosis, and around 40,000 cases are reported each year.
An infectious disease that can be fatal, rat-bite fever is spread by infected rodents or the consumption of food that has been contaminated by infected rodents. Symptoms usually begin to manifest 3 to 10 days following exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These symptoms include headaches, vomiting, fever, rash, and muscle pain.
Sometimes referred to as the Black Death and notorious for taking the lives of more than a third of Europe's population during the Middle Ages, the plague is highly contagious and often lethal. This disease is usually spread through the bites of infected rodent fleas, and symptoms of the plague include headache, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.
No one wants to find a spider in their home, but some species evoke more fear and are more dangerous than others. If you're thinking about calling a bug exterminator because your home may have a brown recluse spider infestation near Crystal Lake , then read on to learn some important facts about this insect.
Brown recluse spiders are light to dark brown in color and are known for having a dark brown marking on their backs in the shape of a violin. These insects are just ¼ to ½ inch long, have 8 legs, are round, and are found mostly in the south-central Midwest between Nebraska and Ohio down to Georgia and Texas.
As their name hints, brown recluse spiders are not typically seen active because they are nocturnal. These insects feed on small bugs and spin webs into which they retreat, rather than use for catching prey. Brown recluse spiders normally live outdoors. When inside a building, they are often seen in areas that are usually quiet and undisturbed, such as crawl spaces, basements, attics, and closets.
The brown recluse does not bite humans instinctively and does so only in defense. Both males and females of this species are venomous, but their bites are not typically felt. However, people bit by these spiders usually experience a stinging sensation followed by intense pain that can last for 8 hours or longer. A small blister typically forms as the site of the bite and can progress into an open ulcer. Common symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include fever, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping.
If you think you may have a brown recluse spider problem, then consider contacting a bug exterminator about spider control services. To protect yourself until the spiders are addressed, do not leave clothing on the floor and keep garments and shoes stored in containers. Finally, shake out any items of clothing that aren't stored in a container before you wear or wash them.
Does your home need pest control in Crystal Lake ? If so, then there are several reasons why you should leave the pest removal process in the hands of a professional exterminator. Watch this video to learn why it makes sense to call the pros when you need pest management.
To protect your property and family from the problems associated with a pest infestation, you can benefit from hiring someone who knows what they're doing and is equipped with effective solutions. Instead of experimenting with DIY methods of removal, trust a highly trained and licensed pest control professional to get bugs and rodents out of your home.
How Many Offspring Can Black Widows Produce?
There are many spiders that inflict fear in humans, but not many are as horrifying as black widows. Female black widows are large spiders that are almost completely black except for a red hourglass figure on their bodies. These dangerous spiders should only be handled by a spider exterminator who can examine and destroy a spider's nest in Crystal Lake with guaranteed results. Watch this National Geographic video to learn more about black widow spiders' nests and their offspring.
Once a male black widow spider has fertilized a female, she will lay sacks full of eggs in her spider nest. She can lay up to five sacks that are each filled with 200 eggs. Within two weeks, the eggs will begin to hatch, and up to 1,000 black widow spider babies will emerge. To prevent a spider infestation, call a professional spider exterminator whenever a black widow is spotted.

Now in Buenos Aires: ¡Gol Gol Gol Gol!
"Estado Sionista, Vos Sos El Terrorista"
Argentina came pretty close to a complete stop this morning as the national team played its second game in the World Cup, beating South Korea 4-1 and taking the lead in Group B with 2 solid wins. Offices and shops opened late; schools adhered to normal start time, but devoted the first 90 minutes of the day to the televised broadcast of the game. The word is this decision was made to prevent the heavy absenteeism that occured during the 2006 World Cup.
Although the spontaneous post-game marches to the Obelisk have not yet reached traffic-stopping volumes, futbol fever is already at epidemic levels. The Argentine public television system is broadcasting all the games of the national team and many of the other matches, as well, and the huge Plaza San Martin has been turned into "Fan Park," where multitudes gather to watch the games on a giant screen. Light blue and white - the colors of the Argentine flag and the national team - appear on everything, and Maradona and Messi are the favorite topics of conversation.
We've got our own little Messi figurine - free with the purchase of a 4-pack of Energizer batteries - watching over our World Cup schedule. Eyes on the prize. ¡Vamos Argentina!
