Participants held an "extended, frank discussion about the Kyoto Protocol and the shape of future arrangements," where talks focused on whether, and under what circumstances, particular Parties might sign onto a second period target.
On financing, it was noted that public funding plays an important role in leveraging private capital and some participants suggested countries should focus on how to invest funds in necessary infrastructure rather than on the narrow issue of whether monies are public or private.
17 September 2011: The 11th Meeting at the Leaders' Representative level of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate stressed the need to agree on a balanced package at the upcoming 17th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 17) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Durban, South Africa, at the end of the year.
The meeting, which took place in Washington, DC, US, from 16-17 September 2011, focused on various unresolved issues in the climate negotiations, including: financing; the future of the Kyoto Protocol; fulfilling past mitigation pledges; and transparency.
On financing, the Chair's summary indicates that participants agreed that sources of funding should be diversified by incentivizing private sector involvement, but noted that increased public funding will be necessary for adaptation as well as for countries where climate finance has been limited. It was also highlighted that public funding plays an important role in leveraging private capital. Some participants suggested countries should focus on how to invest funds in necessary infrastructure rather than on the narrow issue of whether monies are public or private. Others highlighted the need to make investments more attractive by reducing risk, which was followed by a discussion of the appropriate timing, and purpose, of initial capitalization of the Green Climate Fund.
The Chair's summary indicates that participants then held an "extended, frank discussion about the Kyoto Protocol and the shape of future arrangements," where talks focused on whether, and under what circumstances, certain parties might sign onto a second commitment period target. Broad talks on future arrangements were also held over, inter alia, the nature of future arrangements; their ambition in relation to the two degree temperature rise target; the evolution of the dichotomy of Annex I/Non-Annex I; and on the Bali Action Plan and Bali Road Map. On timelines, some participants spoke of a "transitional" period lasting to 2020.
The Chair's summary describes discussions on building confidence in mitigation pledges made in Copenhagen and solidified in Cancun, with some participants suggesting that structured clarifications of pledges are needed.
The Chair's summary of the talks over transparency indicates that participants commented on the work-in-progress nature of national communications, highlighting that flexibility is needed with initial reporting. There were suggestions that all Major Economies submit communications by 2014 to feed into the 2013-2015 review process. Representatives' views diverged over how similar or different the transparency should be treated for developing versus developed countries, as well as on the relationship between existing transparency approaches in the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, and those under development.


Woo Hoo! Select any designbindery.com product and add foil stamp name or monogram type initials for personalization! Look through some of our selections and examples. Design Bindery Foil Stamp Personalization is carried out using "old school" techniques: lead type fonts that are heated on a stamping machine ( one of 3 of our KwikPrint stamping machines). Foil is applied through a combination of temperature, pressure and "dwell" time ( ie- how long you press down on the piece while applying pressure. This is a part of the true craft and is limited to areas no greater than 1″ H x 5″ wide. Not all materials are suited for foil stamping, sometimes a blind deboss or burnishing technique works better. We will advise you on any potential problems we might run into once you place your order. Price is $5.00 for 1 Jumbo Letter or one smaller type 36 or 18 point line of letters (no longer than 5 "). Standard Foil Colors are Gold, Silver, Copper, White and Black. Multiple lines of copy and/or long phrases are somewhat discouraged as this technique truly looks best when kept minimal. We hope you agree!
Custom dies — involving reproduction of vector based artwork, logos, special fonts and characters involve ordering a Custom Metal Stamping Die at additional pricing. This is usually reserved for larger quantity orders of 100 books or more. Contact us at info@designbindery.com if any questions! These projects are quoted on a case by case basis.
Example of a Custom Die for Burnished Logo. Certain materials foil stamp nicely and others are better to opt for blind debossing or burnishing as shown here.

Disappointingly Few Celebrities Have Spoken Out About Louis C.K.'s Behavior
Celebrities React to Louis C.K.'s Sexual Misconduct
November 10, 2017 by Brinton Parker
This year is, it seems, the year of exposing inappropriate Hollywood behavior — and Louis C.K. is the latest A-lister outed for his inexcusable conduct. After The New York Times detailed allegations about Louis from five women, the comedian issued a statement confirming that the stories of his sexual harassment are true. FX, HBO, and Netflix subsequently severed ties with Louis, the comedian was dropped by his team of representatives, and I Love You, Daddy (his film slated to release Nov. 17) was scrapped by its production company. So why, then, are so few celebrities speaking out about the scandal?
While many stars reacted to the Harvey Weinstein reports and the allegations against Kevin Spacey, social media has been relatively quiet following the revelations about Louis C.K. But among the small number of celebrities reacting to the scandal, the message is clear: the comedian's behavior is absolutely repulsive. Read on for their responses to the harassment allegations and Louis's apology.

Trenton Water Works
About Trenton Water Works
Trenton Water Works (TWW) is a public water system owned and operated by the City of Trenton. TWW draws raw surface water from the Delaware River to treat and provide drinking water to more than 200,000 people in Trenton, as well as portions of Ewing, Hamilton, Hopewell, and Lawrence.
DEP Regulation of Trenton Water Works
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), through its Division of Water Supply & Geoscience, regulates public water systems to ensure their compliance with state and federal water supply laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act.
As part of a long-term effort to assist TWW in meeting its safe drinking water compliance obligations, DEP conducts routine inspections, meets frequently with TWW representatives, and provides technical assistance. Based on its continuing assessment, in September 2022, DEP advised the City of Trenton's leadership to significant public health and safety risks that TWW must resolve.
As of September 2022, DEP found that TWW has intermittently struggled to fully maintain critical treatment processes, monitor water quality, employ adequately trained operating personnel, and invest in required maintenance and capital needs, including significant upgrades to aging infrastructure such as the 7-acre, open-air finished water reservoir that stores and provides already treated water to about 70 percent of TWW's distribution system.
Direct Operational Oversight of TWW
On October 12, 2022, Governor Phil Murphy announced that DEP would initiate direct operational oversight to further support and improve TWW today and assist in securing its future performance.
Based on the DEP assessment, there are significant public health and safety concerns that need to be addressed by TWW and the City of Trenton.
Oversight Objectives: Build Technical Capacity and Assess Long-Term Needs
DEP will assist TWW pursuant to a binding administrative order with two principal components that will be pursued concurrently:
Immediate deployment of a capacity-building force comprised of managerial and technical experts who will focus on improving routine operations and maintenance, as well as resolving immediate capital needs.
Undertake a 360-degree assessment of TWW's technical, managerial, and financial capacity, resulting in the development of system-wide organizational, capital, and operational recommendations.
To effect Phase 1, TWW will facilitate the direct oversight and monitoring of the system by DEP and its consultants, which will include the retention of a third-party that will be embedded within the system for the purposes of monitoring and assessing all system operations and maintenance, adding necessary technical and managerial capacity to the system, and making technical, managerial, and financial recommendations necessary to bring the system into full compliance with applicable law.
To effect Phase 2, a third-party adviser will undertake a comprehensive technical, managerial, and financial capacity assessment of the system that will result in a report of organizational and operational recommendations, as well as short- and long-term asset management and capital improvement recommendations that will serve the basis of future action and investment.
Users of Trenton Water Works can expect that DEP and a third-party will work closely with the City and direct the timely resolution of all instances of noncompliance, including matters identified during recent inspections. As of October 12, 2022, water quality sample results submitted to DEP by TWW reflect that the water system meets applicable water quality standards. The goal of direct operational oversight, however, is to secure improvements to TWW, its operations and maintenance, to ensure that requirements intended to protect public health and the environment are consistently and reliably achieved. This includes ensuring that contaminants that may present a danger to human health are not currently in or likely to enter the system.
DEP will continue to closely monitor water quality parameters and other indicators of the status of the TWW system.  If TWW exceeds a regulatory standard for drinking water quality, or if DEP otherwise determines that a risk to public health exists, the appropriate public notification will be issued to all TWW customers.
Existing sample results submitted to DEP by TWW are accessible to the public from the DEP Drinking Water Watch website.
Compliance History
DEP, through its Division of Water Enforcement, most recently performed TWW facility inspections on October 26, 2021, October 27, 2021, November 8, 2021, and February 3, 2022, and has met continuously with TWW representatives to provide significant compliance assistance, resulting in a September 27, 2022 Compliance Evaluation and Assistance Inspection Report that summarized then-current DEP observations and concerns.

There are screw-ups, and then there are totally incomprehensible mistakes in the world of tattoos.
Speaking on The Cruz Show at Power 106, up-and-coming rapper Sahbabii revealed that a tattoo he regrets is one on his neck where his uncle spelled his name wrong. According to the rapper, there's an "e" on the end when there should be a second "i." It's a blood relative too - talk about a facepalm moment.
Sahbabii had something else to share with the Cruz crew besides tattoo stories. He talks about how he overcame the lows of his music not popping as quickly as he'd hoped, and wants to remind everyone to "just keep going" in the face of such adversity.


We have chosen to do business with Dubet because it was the fastest and most professional company among several other companies that we have approached for the line selling process. Although they may not be the cheapest intermediary, they offer you good value for your money.
Vel Pitar Group is the largest bakery company in Romania, with 12 production locations in the 10 most important cities of the country. Vel Pitar is the market leader in the bakery category and it continuously invests in the improvement of its factories and products.
In one of the Bucharest locations, Vel Pitar had a production line for Swiss roll, layer cakes and biscuits which was not in use anymore. The line was in excellent condition and therefore Vel Pitar decided to sell it. Dubet was approached by Vel Pitar to assist the line selling process.
Comerford Brothers ltd. is a family-owned company in Ireland, who have grown immensely over the last 10 years, now employing 130 people. They have specialised in different types of cakes and had an urgent need to increase their production capacity in order to meet the growing market demand. The excellent condition and immediate availability of Vel Pitar line fitted their need perfectly.
Dubet mediated between the 2 parties and assisted in finding a reliable party for the dismantling, transportation and reinstallation of this line.

China's straddling road bus may come to the U.S.
By Matthew Humphries 11.06.2010 :: 1:00PM EDT 11.06.2010
@mthwgeek
Back in August we heard about a new idea for public road transport in China that bypassed the problem of traffic. It took the form of a bus that is raised above the road that so vehicles can travel underneath. It sounded a bit crazy, but ultimately could work. Now it looks as though the idea may come to the U.S.
Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment, the Chinese company behind the idea, has formed a U.S. company in an attempt to export the same prototype. Partners are needed to both manufacture and sell the buses, I'd suggest they also need permission to put them over existing highways.
The benefits are clear to those people who don't drive. This bus will not be held up in traffic jams and is more environmentally friendly than a car because it runs on electricity, therefore no exhaust fumes are being produced.
If nothing else it forms an opportunity for new manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and for the eco-friendly nature of the buses to be held up as an example of how certain states are trying to go green. We should also be able to see the buses in action soon with China expected to get its first one operational next year.
Would you appreciate one of these buses on your local highway?

Harrison Truck Centers donates new truck to NIACC
NIACC Diesel Instructor Dennis Salz receives the new truck plates from Chad Harrison, Vice President of Harrison Truck Centers.
MASON CITY – Harrison Truck Centers has joined in support of the Keeping NIACC First capital campaign by donating the use of a brand new Freightliner Cascadia truck to North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC). The gift is intended to enhance the Diesel Technology program and bring more visibility to the College. This gift is a yearly commitment for use of a new truck each year for five years at a value of $75,000 over the course of the five years.
Chad Harrison, Harrison Truck Centers, said, "Harrison Truck Centers is proud to support NIACC and the new Diesel Technology Center. NIACC provides a real value to North Iowa and Southern Minnesota in providing students an affordable avenue to continue their education after high school, and as the largest diesel repair shop in North Iowa, we rely on NIACC to provide us with skilled technicians to help us grow our business. Our careers started with NIACC and we are proud to help future community leaders get their start at NIACC as well."
According to Diesel Instructor Dennis Salz, "This new truck will give students a first-hand look at the latest technology on a truck. The new emissions on the engine, and how it works, is something they can now actually see perform. It's a great asset to the program for students to be able to experience the latest in drive train, electronics, fuel systems, brakes, and all the other systems on a truck."
"I'm really excited about this partnership with Harrison Truck Centers and their support of our program," Steve Schulz, NIACC President, said. "This truck will provide our students with the opportunity to learn about the latest truck technology as well as give us an opportunity to promote the Diesel Technology program. North Iowa has countless opportunities for truck technicians and drivers and we hope to fill many of those openings with our graduates. This is truly a remarkable and wonderful gift that will serve NIACC and its students well over the years."
The Keeping NIACC First capital campaign committee is hoping to wrap up commitments to the campaign by the end of the year to allow the College to finalize the design and solicit bids for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) renovations and expansion, which is the final of the four projects being funded primarily from the campaign. The three completed projects are the Piano Upgrades and Music Enhancements, the Diesel Technology Center, and the Health Simulation Center.

When you are struggling with an issue, it often seems like you might be the only person in the world that shares your toil. The same analogy works for schools and colleges and their challenges: they often think that they must be the only school working on a particular issue. And, enrollment challenges seem to top that list.
My experience tells me that every school and college is working on enrollment. Many - the vast majority, actually - are working late into the summer simply to achieve basic enrollment or revenue goals. These are often the price leaders in their marketplace and have an enormous burden of cost to overcome with their consumers. But, there are many other enrollment issues that persist at independent schools and colleges. Some are continuing to implement a strategic enrollment management approach, integrating the various functions of best practices. Others are working on data management and analysis, trying to better understanding their enrollment patterns and predictors. Others are simply working on shaping their class: they have enough students, but not the right ones or the ones that are mission fit. And, still others are trying to sort out how to better optimize their financial aid systems.
Lessons Learned #3 is that all schools have enrollment challenges. Unless you are Stanford and can afford to make a joke of your selectivity and resources, few, if any, schools really have it all together: the demand, selectivity, resources, revenue, and diversity they seek. We are all in the same boat, just paddling in different directions, but working on it together.


It used to be all a girl had to worry about was whether or not her man was cheating on her with his secretary. Times have changed! it's no longer searching for lipstick stains, but searching through bank account statements. According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 24% of participants in a recent study would not share their financial difficulties with their spouse. Why is hiding financial hardship so popular? Do you know if your spouse is financially cheating on you?
There has always been a stigma attached to those who are not financially responsible. You never want to run around telling the neighbors that your house is in foreclosure or that your car is about to be repossessed, but what about your spouse? Shouldn't they be privileged to the information regarding their standard of living? This phenomenon is not an issue only pertaining to married couples either. A friend of mine was dating a really nice guy, but by the second month she couldn't take it anymore. Every time they went on a date he would take her to a fancy restaurant, then proceed to order the cheapest item off of the menu. If you have ever eaten at an expensive restaurant, you know the look you get from a server if all you order is a side salad and a water. When he ordered something cheap, she felt obligated to do so as well. There they were at a beautiful highly publicized restaurant eating a cup of soup, and drinking water. Meanwhile diners all around them were enjoying filet mignon, and sipping red wine. Spouse financially cheating is something that should be avoided so both of you can be working on correcting your finances together.
She couldn't understand why he was taking her to these types of restaurants if he couldn't afford it. Finally he broke down one day while they were out, and confessed to her that he made less than she did. She was astonished at how little he made, being that he was able to pay rent at an expensive complex, pay student loans, and take her out every other night. The truth was he couldn't afford it, and was racking up credit card debt. Out of the 24% surveyed in the study, 8% said they wouldn't share the debt with their spouse because the spouse didn't know about the debt when they entered into the relationship. Seven percent of those surveyed said they kept their debt a secret, because they felt it would damage the relationship. Nine percent of those who said they would keep their debt a secret, because they wouldn't want the other to worry about it. Spouse financially cheating does not mean they are purposfully hurting you but most likly just too embarrased to come clean.
Using a credit card or online payday loan to pretend you have money isn't a good idea in the long run. Eventually you will run out of credit, and the truth will come out. Don't get caught in a debt cycle. Just be up front and honest about your financial situation. There are instances where cash loans can come to your rescue, but these short-term loans should be used a temporary solution to an emergency financial situation. If you didn't budget for an important date, but need the cash last minute you could take out a cash advance online, but be sure to pay it back with your next paycheck. There are fees and interest associated with online payday loans, just like there are with credit cards.

Q: setting up v-autocomplete with search function Trying to setup v-autocomplete, without a watcher, the flow would be:

*

*Type a string, value is accepted by function

*Function searches api for string and returns a list

*List is put into "entries"

*Computed property "tagsFound" is reevaluated.

*"tagsFound" are displayed (since they are :items)
The main difference between the docs here and my code is my attempt to do this without a watcher rather with a simple function.
Relevant code:

<v-autocomplete
          v-model="newTag"
          :items="tagsFound"
          :loading="loading"
          :search-input.sync="search"
          color="white"
          hide-no-data
          hide-selected
          :placeholder="$t('search_terms.new_tag')"
        ></v-autocomplete>
    ...
    data() {
      return {
        newTag: '',
        entries: [],
    ....
    methods: {
    ...
     async search(term){
        this.query.term = term
        this.entries = await this.searchTerms(this.query)
      },
    ...
    computed: {
      tagsFound(){
        return this.entries
      }
    }

Expected behavior is search for the term typed and display the results as a dropdown.
Actual behavior is that it does not search and therefore does not display anything.

A: The sync modifier effectively makes a prop behave like v-model, so just like with v-model there's a prop and an event. The value needs to be a property, not a method, so :search-input.sync="search" doesn't make sense if search is a method.
The tagsFound computed property in your example isn't really doing anything. If you're just going to return entries you might as well just use entries directly in your template.
Not sure why you would want to do this without a watch but it can be done, either by splitting search-input.sync into a prop/event pair or by using a computed property with a getter and setter. The example below uses the latter approach.

function fakeServer (search) {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve([
        'Red', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Brown', 'Blue', 'Pink', 'Black'
      ].filter(c => c.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase())))
    }, 1000)
  })
}

new Vue({
  el: '#app',

  data () {
    return {
      newTag: '',
      entries: [],
      queryTerm: ''
    }
  },

  computed: {
    search: {
      get () {
        return this.queryTerm
      },

      set (searchInput) {
        if (this.queryTerm !== searchInput) {
          this.queryTerm = searchInput
          this.loadEntries()
        }
      }
    }
  },

  created () {
    this.loadEntries()
  },

  methods: {
    async loadEntries () {
      this.entries = await fakeServer(this.queryTerm || '')
    }
  }
})
<link href="https://unpkg.com/vuetify@1.5.16/dist/vuetify.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900|Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@2.6.10/dist/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vuetify@1.5.16/dist/vuetify.js"></script>
<div id="app">
  <v-app>
    <v-autocomplete
      v-model="newTag"
      :items="entries"
      :search-input.sync="search"
    ></v-autocomplete>
  </v-app>
</div>

A: In this part, you bind search-input to an async method, this is wrong. You need to bind search-input to a data field and create a watch over it.
<v-autocomplete
          :search-input.sync="search"
></v-autocomplete>

Define your component like below:
data: function(){
   return {
        newTag: '',
        entries: [],
        searchInput: null
   }
},
watch: {
    searchInput(val){
        this.entries = await this.searchTerms(val)
    }
}

And v-autocomplete template:
<v-autocomplete
          v-model="newTag"
          :items="tagsFound"
          :loading="loading"
          :search-input.sync="searchInput"
          color="white"
          hide-no-data
          hide-selected
          :placeholder="$t('search_terms.new_tag')"
        ></v-autocomplete>

This is a working example I created on CodePen

Taliban begins to enforce education ban, leaving Afghan women with tears and anger
Ebrahim Noroozi
Afghan women students stand outside the Kabul University in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022. Taliban security forces in Afghanistan's capital city are upholding a higher education ban for women by blocking access to university campuses. The country's Taliban rulers have ordered women nationwide to stop attending private and public universities effective immediately and until further notice. The Taliban-led administration has not given a reason for the ban or reacted to the fierce and swift global condemnation of it. (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi)
Teachers report security forces barging into classrooms and shouting at girls to go home, while the international community swiftly condems the Taliban's move.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Taliban security forces fanned out to some universities and informal learning centers in Kabul on Wednesday, teachers said, enforcing an edict issued the night before that appears to have banned most females from any education beyond the sixth grade.
In one instance, a teacher reported security forces barging into his class, shouting at girls to go home. "Some of students started verbal arguments with them, but they didn't listen. My students left their classes, crying," said Waheed Hamidi, an English-language teacher at a tuition center in Kabul.
The move was expected – and dreaded – by observers as the Taliban's supreme leader Mullah Haibutullah Akhundzada imposes his vision of an Afghanistan which is ultra-conservative, even by the hardline group's standards.
"I genuinely think that the man in charge thinks that this is what an Islamic society ought to look like," says Obaidullah Baheer, a Kabul-based lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan. Speaking earlier to NPR about Akhundzada, he said, "he had this very specific view of where women or young girls should be within the society, which is within their households. So I guess for all intents and purposes, this is a gender apartheid. This is nothing short of that."
Since coming to power in August last year, the Taliban have overseen a hodgepodge of education policies. They allow girls to attend school until the sixth grade, when primary school ends. But they have prevented most girls from attending formal secondary school education, reneging on a promise to allow them back to class in March, when the scholastic year began. Some girls in distant provinces still attended high school, however, and another, unknown number were attending informal classes in tuition centers.
And in a quirk of contradictory decision-making, the former minister of higher education Abdul Baqi Haqqani allowed women to attend universities, albeit under strict conditions, including wearing face coverings and abiding by strict segregation. But in October, Haqqani was replaced with known hardliner, Nida Mohammad Nadim, who had expressed his opposition to women receiving an education. He is known to be close to Akhundzada.
The edict, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, said women were suspended from attending public and private centers of higher education until further notice. Taliban officials have not responded to multiple request to explain the move.

Girls study at a secret school on the outskirts of Kabul in July of 2022.
Initially, it was believed that the ban applied to women attending universities. But on Wednesday morning, English teacher Wahidi reported Taliban security forces were turning girls away from his center. After barging into one class, they stood at the center's door and told girls to go home, he said. "They stood there for two hours," he said. "They came and warned us [that they would take] physical actions if we continue teaching English for girls."
Another woman who runs three free-of-charge tuition centers for high school-aged girls said she was waiting for Taliban education officials to rule on whether she could keep operating.
Zainab Mohammadi said one of the teachers she employs told her that another nearby center that taught girls was shut down.
"I don't sleep," said Mohammadi in broken English. "All the girls calling me and I promise I will stay for them," she said – that she would defend their interests. Then, she burst into tears.
Mohammadi said she only employed and taught women, abiding by the Taliban's strict gender segregation rules. Her students wear black robes and black face veils to and from school to ensure they do not offend patrolling Taliban forces. "They wear the hijab," she said. The follow "all the rules of Taliban."
Other women who are now effectively expelled from university, said they were too angry to cry. One student, Spogmai, told NPR in a voice message that her friend told her of the edict as she was preparing for an end-of-year exam. "I have no words," she said. "I'm feeling sad and wondering," she asked, "will I be allowed to study again? And go to university?"
The international community swiftly condemned the Taliban's move. But more than a year after the Taliban seized power, with many Afghans desperate for work, for aid, for asylum, it didn't go down so well.
Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. envoy who was the architect of the Taliban's return to power through an agreement struck with Washington to withdraw American and Western forces, described the move as "shocking and incomprehensible" to a Pakistani newspaper. It enraged Afghans on Twitter. It even appeared to rouse the ire of former senior diplomats.
NATO's last senior civilian representative to Afghanistan, Stefano Pontecorvo retweeted another former Afghan diplomat, Jawed Ludin, saying, "I'm shocked by how so many people are shocked. What did you all expect? Really?"

Music: Afterhours

By Sean Rhiney on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 2:06 pm
While still just below the radar in the U.S., Afterhours are musical icons in their homeland, routinely reaching the Top 10 on the Italian charts. A steady stream of annual stateside appearances, as well as good musical friends like former Afghan Whig Greg Dulli, have helped raised their profile.
The band's latest disc, I Milanesi Ammazzano il Sabato (translating into "The Milanese Kill Saturdays" ), was released on Universal Records in May and shot right up the charts in Italy, debuting at No. 3. Lead singer Manuel Agnelli claims the album is a paen of sorts to his hometown, a dark and dirty reflection on the evolution of a city reknowned more for its worship of all things shiny. Agnelli sings in both English and Italian, but what might potentially be lost in translation is reclaimed by the band's emotionally rough and ready mix of atmospheric Rock Folk, grungy guitars and dense arrangements.
With only a trio of Midwestern dates on this tour, the band's Cincinnati stop is probably due in part to their affection/connection with Dulli who's relentless promotion of the band in the U.S. included producing their last disc, Ballads for Little Hyenas, and equal turns for Agnelli and Dulli as back-up members for one other's bands on tour.
These musical icons in their homeland, play under the radar with The Emeralds at the Northside Tavern. Get Sound Advice here.

 the::unwired - CHANGELOG: What else is new in Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 NoDo update?
Copy & Paste: You asked for it - now it's here. Just tap a word and drag the arrows to copy and paste it on your phone. You can copy text from E-Mails, text messages, web pages and Office Mobile documents and paste it anywhere you can type.
Faster Apps and Games: Nobody likes to wait. That's why Microsoft has whittled down the time it takes for apps and games to start up and resume. It's all part of our focus on getting you to the things you love, easier and faster.
Better Marketplace Search: Microsoft has streamlined Marketplace search to make it easier to find specific apps, games, or music. Press the Search button in the Apps or Games section of Marketplace and you'll see only apps or games in the results. Press Search in the Music section of Marketplace to search just the music catalog.
Other Marketplace Improvements: Microsoft has improved the stability of Marketplace while you download apps. Microsoft has also improved the experience of downloading apps larger than 20 megabytes, upgrading from trial apps to paid apps, using a credit card with an address outside the United States, sharing links to apps via E-Mail, sorting Xbox LIVE games by release date and creating an Xbox LIVE account from within the Games Hub.
WiFi Improvements: Windows Phone now display your phone's Media Access Control (MAC) address in Settings (You might need this info if you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that uses MAC address filtering). Microsoft has also removed the limit on the number of Wi-Fi profiles that you can store and reduced the time it takes to start your phone if you've stored lots of Wi-Fi profiles.
Outlook Improvements. Microsoft has improved the experience of viewing iPhone photo attachments you receive from a non-Exchange-based E-Mail account (such as a Google Mail, Hotmail, or Yahoo! Mail account), using the Global Address List (GAL) when connecting to Exchange Server 2003 using Exchange ActiveSync and working with E-Mail display names that contain brackets (for example, "David Alexander [Contoso]").
Messaging Improvements: Microsoft has improved the experience of receiving Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages if your phone uses a PIN-locked SIM.

Q: How to create one folder to store images from a website scrape I have written the following code to extract images for each product from a website scrape. I am very new to this and am unsure how to stop it creating a new folder for each product. Currently it creates a new folder called Whiteline Images inside the previous folder also titled whiteline images - easy enough to fix manually when its 5 products - not so much when I change it to 500+!! I know where in the code its doing this... just unsure how to fix it. Any help is appreciated!

Over seven million people in the U.S. last year alone were victims of identity theft resulting in approximately fifty billion dollars of fraudulent credit card, bank, and other financial charges. A significant number of these victims were business travelers, people on their holidays, and tourists. Here is some valuable information that may save you lots of grief when you travel.
It's very easy when people travel on their vacation to let their guard down. They have a lot of things on their minds trying to remember everything they need to take care of before they go and what they need to take with them on vacation. Not only that, they want to unwind, relax, and have fun. Isn't that what vacations should be all about? When they travel they don't want to have to be on guard all time and constantly concerned about getting ripped off every minute of their holidays.
There are three major sources of identity theft that you should be aware of when you travel. They are your wallet, your laptop or PDA, and internet cafes.
Research shows that most identity thefts happen when people's wallets are stolen, usually by professional pick pockets. Whether you travel on business or vacation you must guard your wallet at all times because you are at more risk than in familiar surroundings. Never carry your wallet in your back pocket - it's not called the "sucker pocket" for nothing. It's best to put your wallet in a fanny pack. A number of travelers prefer a fanny pack with a Velcro closure instead of a zippered one because you can hear it being opened. The usual places you will find pickpockets are in crowded areas such as airports, train and bus stations, hotel lobbies, restaurants, and sporting events.
Almost everyone carries more personal information in their wallets then they need. What you should do before you travel is to go through your wallet and take out any personal information that you don't need when traveling such as bank checks and check books, credit card receipts, bills, and memberships cards such as library cards. Also, you do not need to take your social security card as you probably already have that number memorized by heart.
Debit cards are a convenient way to take small amounts of cash out of ATM's when traveling, but are also a great way for thieves to clean out your bank account if they ever get a hold of them. A good way to reduce this risk is to open up a separate account at your bank before you go and only put as much day-to-day cash in it as you think you may need for your holidays. Take only that one debit card with you.
Credit cards, because they are protected by Federal law are a much better choice to take with you as you are generally covered for any fraudulent charges incurred. And if you are over-charged or find an error on any of your credit card transactions when traveling, it's easier to get the charges corrected or reversed from the credit card companies. It is advisable to take two credit cards in case one is compromised, or lost. You can obtain smaller, limited amount prepaid cash cards from American Express, Visa, and MasterCard that are perfect for daily use. You can get cash cards in any denomination. It is probably best to get a couple of cards with low limits of five hundred dollars or less each. If they are stolen or lost, the credit card companies will replace the funds. Leave your major cards and passport in the hotel's safe or your room safe along with any other personal information that you don't need from day to day.
Before you travel be sure and check that your credit cards won't expire while you're on vacation. And be sure to call your credit card issuers to let them know when and where you plan to holiday so they don't have a conniption fit and cancel your card when they see a credit charge showing up from some place like Timbuktu. Make a note of these phone numbers and take them with you when on vacation.
Another major source of identity theft can start with a stolen laptop. Over six hundred thousand laptops are pilfered or left behind in the U.S. alone, frequently from inattentive travelers in airports, hotel lobbies, and restaurants.

Costa Rica pledges carbon neutrality by 2021
Costa Rica's President Luis Guillermo Solis announced on Monday during the opening of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week that the country was aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2021
Costa Rica's President Luis Guillermo Solis announced on Monday during the opening of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week that the country was aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2021.
The Central American nation already sources 98 per cent of its electricity from renewables, according to the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE).
Costa Rica ran solely on renewable energy for a total of 250 days in 2016, including a 110-day continuous period from 17 June to 6 October.
The country's power mix is dominated by hydropower but also includes wind, solar, geothermal and biomass.
The only fossil fuel used by the nation is diesel.
President Solis stated that Costa Rica's decision to utilise renewable power "was in no way improvised – it's the constitutional right of the people to enjoy a clean environment."
He added that in other countries "the negative effects of previous [thermal-focused] energy policies are too obvious to ignore — and these previous models are no longer viable."
In addition, he said that Costa Rica's widespread use of renewables was not the end of the country's green commitments.
The government's 2030 energy strategy plans to integrate renewable power into its transportation sector.
Solis said the transportation sector "is one of our greatest challenges, and we must reduce these emissions if we are to comply with our ambitious goal of becoming one of the first carbon-neutral countries in the world by the time of our independence bicentennial in 2021."

US energy mix changes - coal consumption declines
07/28/16 10:41 AM By Jodi Delapaz
WASHINGTON, July 28, 2016 - Primary energy consumption fell slightly in 2015 as a decline in coal use exceeded increases in natural gas, petroleum and renewables use, says a report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). In most cases, changes between 2014 and 2015 reflect longer-term trends in energy use, says EIA.
Coal consumption declined by more than 12 percent in 2015, says EIA, and it is now at its lowest level since 1982. Coal supplied 16 percent of total U.S. primary energy use in 2015, down from 18 percent in 2014, the report shows. Nearly all coal is used for electricity generation.
As domestic natural gas production continues to reach record levels, natural gas prices have remained low and natural gas consumption increased more than any other energy source in 2015, says EIA, accounting for 29 percent of total primary energy consumption. EIA says the low natural gas prices have led to increased use of natural gas-fired generators in the electric power sector.
Lower gasoline and diesel prices led to increased vehicle travel. U.S. petroleum consumption grew by 2 percent in 2015, EIA says. Exports of U.S. petroleum products also continued to grow, driven largely by demand in South and Central America, the report says. Exports were up 467,000 barrels per day from 2014, to 4.3 million barrels per day.

Renewable fuels use continued to grow in 2015, the report shows, especially in the electric power sector. Both wind and solar generation expanded significantly, says EIA, growing by 31 percent and 5 percent, respectively, in 2015. Increases in wind and solar were slightly offset by a decline in hydroelectric generation, which fell for the fourth consecutive year because of drought conditions on the West Coast.
Several nuclear plants were retired in 2013 and 2014. Nuclear electric power remained relatively flat in 2015, the EIA report shows. No nuclear plants were retired or came online in 2015, EIA says.

This entry will be longer than usual – many very nice experiences to write about.
It rained all night. Sleeping right beneath a skylight helped me be acutely aware of this. Whilst lying awake, I visualize a brilliant day without rain and us having a very nice day.
The rain stops at 7.30am, just as we Oliver and I meet for breakfast. Although the distance for today is just 188km we will be busy all day climbing and descending over 9900m of altitude!
As a first task for today, we have to drive to the end of the Ötztal, past interestingly named places such as Gurgl and Twieselsteintajen.
The weather is getting better by the minute and all the menacing gray clouds above us dissolve into a nice blue sky. It seems me visualizing good weather helps after all!
At the end of the valley, we're greeted by a series of hair-pin bends which are a lot of fun with TW560 – have a look for yourself!
As yesterday, access to the highest point of the Timmelsjoch is not free – we even have to negotiate to be recognized as a motorbike and still pay 14 Euros for just a few kilometres – the Austrians know how to make money!
The alps are known for tricky weather – in our case it was us driving without the roof on and within just 500m go from blue sky to 30 metres visibility, 15°C less and a freezing drizzle. This is where it pays off that Oliver is a fellow TWIKE pilot: We get out and have the roof back on within a few seconds!
Back in the TWIKE, we're glad to be dry – we drive past many motorbikes parked at the side of the road with owners donning their rain gear in a hurry.
After just a few kilometers, we arrive at the top and take the obligatory pictures. We had hoped to cross through the clouds and get some sun…not this time.
Just a few minutes later we leave the clouds behind us and are greeted by sunshine, warm weather and a very inviting Southern Tyrol valley around the city of Merano.
How can we not stop here?
We first engage the usual interest in TW560 whilst ordering some wine from the hills just above us (the farm selling their produce here is also a winery) and a small platter of cut meats and cheeses.
Three good things in life: Sun, wine & a TWIKE!
Before we leave, I buy some of the extremely tasty sausages we sampled on our platter – I love tasting the same things I enjoyed during my trips when back home!
My loot for the loved ones back home!
We cross the city of Merano – Not much to report other than a nice old city centre and a hospital at which TW560 was allowed to charge last year.
Heading towards Passo di Stelvio, I knew that we had two options to get there. Either drive along the SuperStrada – a very busy main road or take the alternate, single-lane option JC and I chose last year.
When we met in the past, Oliver always told me that he really wanted to join me and JC on one of our trips because of all the picturesque single-lane roads we chose to drive along. This is why I offered Oliver to drive along the same road as last year and relax TD*-Style!
As last year – it's 51 weeks ago to be exact – we drive along mile after mile of apple trees weighed-down by ripe and juicy apples.
I am happy to report that the apples are still very, very good!
There aren't many official charging stations along the valley. Since I know the local geography somewhat, I know that we will not make it to Gomagoi, a charging station Oliver used for charging this year during the WAVE event.
Best bet for today: Fire stations, Hospitals, loco-mode creative charging… and 4S & 5* Hotels!
At such a hotel one can just pull up and ask the concierge to take care of things whilst one is busy ordering a drink from the hotel bar … and under normal circumstances, he will make it happen, somehow.
We pull up at the hotel and I put my strategy to the test again: After arriving at the main entrance I'm directed to the front desk by the bellboy. I tell the front-desk that I want to sample some of their fine offerings whilst charging my electric car.
Cayenne Turbo S with a sense of entitlement!
Click the image to see a higher-resolution image. This will give you an idea how clearly this parking spot is marked as being a parking space for EV's only!
Death warnings in a blog are such a downer, aren't they? Let's go back to the nicer things in life, shall we?
Having set up the charge, Oliver and I settle-in at the lobby bar and have a drink. In my case it was – unsurprisingly – a G&T with a locally sourced gin (Pergola Gin).
Whilst we enjoy the exquisite surroundings and outstanding service I reserve our rooms for the night. According to my projections, we'll be able to make it to Livigno today. Thanks to my hand-held gadget, I'm able to reserve a nice hotel at a flick of a finger. The application makes me aware of some seriously important information before I'm able to complete my reservation. See for yourself!
Uh-oh. This is going to be less fun than anticipated.
It looks like my visualization isn't helping after all. This looks like serious snow – driving up to nearly 2800m and not seeing anything isn't much fun at all!
After a 75 minute charge, we're ready to drive towards our next charging station at around 1/4 of the climb to top-up our charge and have enough energy until Livigno.
Right now, however, we have different, more pressing interests: With current weather we can just hope that the pass remains open!
Although we had some drops of rain for about 10 minutes, overall, we've been driving with the sun following us since we left the clouds behind us at the Timmelsjoch.
Arriving at the charging station we're greeted by something very common: Technology created by entities who should not be trusted with the creation of such systems: Or: An overly complicated IT-based system layered around a very simple and reliable technology. To keep the story short: we were unable to activate the charging station.
WTF?!?!We can't charge because of an access-rights error for the screen saver on the SD-card?
I immediately called the service number on the charging station – surely they would have some person from IT be able to remotely access the charging station and reset it. But alas, no. The situation was, yet again, as usual: Some lone guy from the local village's organization was the recipient of my call. He was on his well-deserved week-end and told me that he was around 45-60 minutes away and that the technology provider didn't allow him any remote access to the charging station. This is why his only option was to power-cycle the charging station on-site. I politely declined his offer to do so – partly because I felt sorry for the guy and his week-end and because waiting without charging is close to the worst thing you can be doing as an EV-owner when you want to make some distance.
We drive about 700m to the next hotel along the road. It's closed but there seem to be people working within today. After explaining our situation, the elderly owner gladly allows us to charge and tells us how much money the village has invested in this charging station, just to find out that no-one is charging there. After hearing our story he tells us that he will be pushing for a fully open charging model where the plugs are accessible without any computer technology at all! YAY!
This is how charging should be – simple & free!
Whilst we're charging, the weather above us has decided to show us its best behaviour: Within 10 minutes most remaining clouds are gone, leaving a beautiful deep blue sky waiting for us.
We're being treated to the best possible weather!
Only thing worrying me right now is the clearly visible plumes of snow being blown far off the ridge indicating strong winds and potentially snowdrifts on the way up.
We say thank you to the hotel owner and with 92% in our battery start our ascent.
Halfway – Up there is where we're going!
It's really steep. Very steep. Our consumption uphill is about 213Wh/km at this rate, we can drive only 20km before depleting our battery.
Temperatures are dropping dramatically and quite strong winds start blowing, forcing us put the roof back on TW560.
This side of the pass seems to have been in the sun this afternoon. With the sun gone and snow being blown on the tarmac it melts and instantly freezes, leaving the road covered in pure ice.
We all know that a TWIKE excels in such situations: We had to stop to help a driver get his car back on the road after him losing all traction, sliding towards a stone wall and getting stuck there. Oliver and I both had a vigorous workout pushing and pulling whilst the driver was torturing his clutch!
Wind & snow – winter!
A few hair-pin bends later, we finally make it up to the top. Brilliant weather, just a few minutes too late to have direct sunlight, gale-force winds at -2°C (wind chill factor felt temperature about -15°C brr.). There is a lot of snow here already and where the snow has been cleared… pure ice: see the reflection in the picture below.
It's interesting to be just a few metres below the altitude we were yesterday … nicer views from here!
Given the weather we expected to have here, our views from the Passo di Stelvio are just stunning!
We don't last for long outside – we get back into our vehicle to shelter from the winds and fine snow being blown into our faces. Our next waypoint is Bormio at 1225m altitude – 1500m downhill.
Night falls during our descent and we arrive in Bormio just after dark and start our last ascent towards Livigno: Passo Foscagno. At 2290m altitude, we are at 9% charge left.
Entering the duty-free region of Livigno we encounter a strange situation: we drive from Italy to Italy but still have to cross an active border crossing!
Not being able to see the topography we assume the road towards Livigno is flat or even downhill. We couldn't be more wrong. After the border we have a slight descent for about 4 kilometers, just to be confronted with another ascent to 2230m. We make it to the top…just! We we're at 0% charge and for the last 500m Oliver gets out and walks alongside TW560.
From there it's only 3 km downhill to Livigno – we arrive at 2030h, tired but very happy.

Murakami & Magical Realism
Explore the literary mode and theoretical implications of magical realism in light of three of Murakami's most bizarre novels.
"Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe."
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
Together we will learn about the nuances of magical realism and see how Murakami's writing beautifully illustrates this genre. Magical Realism is a genre of literature in which fantastical, magical, and other-worldly occurrences are treated as not just possible, but realistic. In many of Murakami's novels, readers experience these magical elements as they are seamlessly integrated into the narrative. With one eye always on the story, this course explores the fantastic, the unbelievable, the beautiful, the uncanny, and the absurd to watch how meaning is made as all of these elements unite to create one compelling story after another. In addition to learning about the nuances in the genre of magical realism, this adult literature course also considers the various narrative devices and classic literary elements found in each novel.
Course Reading:
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
This Course Includes:
Comprehensive overview of magical realism
Recorded live discussions
Supplemental reading and resources
Engaging written discussions
If you love and celebrate the power of story in literature, but you want to do dig deeper into the theories and philosophies influencing each work, then this course is for you. Each lecture is designed to explain the nuances of magical realism and amplify your reading experience of the current novel.
The Uncanny
Here is a sample lesson on the Uncanny

I'd like to believe he chose all caps in his tweet this morning to capture his exasperation that those gutless mooks in the House were *still* begging him as of yesterday to decide for them whether they should vote for an immigration bill that's dead on arrival in the Senate. No policy consequences, a free opportunity to pander to key constituencies, and somehow they're paralyzed. I doubt even one percent of the public is paying attention to it but it's quietly been one of the most pathetic performances by House Republicans, particularly the conservatives, of Trump's presidency.
Maybe POTUS thinks so too and felt he needed to communicate his contempt somehow. When you can't call your own team "gutless mooks" for begging you to tweet your opinion before they vote, you can convey your contempt by finally giving them what they want as LOUDLY as possible.
That's all conservatives were waiting for. They feared that voting for a bill that had a DREAM amnesty in it would piss off enough righties in their home districts to threaten their seats, if not this year than in the 2020 primaries. The only thing that can neutralize populist anger is the will of populist Zeus. Today's tweet arrived like a thunderbolt from Mt. Olympus. The go-nowhere compromise bill shall pass.
But wait. The drama's not over. It's never over.
House Republicans have also been preparing a much narrower alternative immigration bill that would address just the issue of child separation. No DREAM amnesty in that one, no E-Verify, no wall or limits on chain migration. Just a simple bill providing that families could stay together but must remain in detention pending resolution of their asylum claims. It was going to be the House's Plan B for if/when the larger compromise bill failed. After all, moderate Republicans would still need something to show voters back home that they're anti-Trump on immigration; voting to end child separation would be one small way of doing it. And even if the larger compromise bill passed, it might still be worth voting on and passing the narrow bill separately, knowing that the larger bill would be DOA in the Senate. *Maybe* McConnell would be able to muster 60 votes for the narrow bill on child separation with the help of red-state Democrats like Joe Manchin. Probably not, but even if the narrow bill failed, Republicans would be able to say that Democrats had killed legislation that would have reunited immigrant families. Not a bad talking point.
Trump appears to have rescued the larger bill by giving House conservatives the green light to vote for it, per the all-caps tweet above. But what about the narrow bill? Are they still going to try to pass that one too?
To recap: Leadership and WH leg staff expected to file narrow family separations bill last night. Charge was led in private by Cathy McMorris Rogers beginning last wk. But this morning, the day before they hope to vote on it, leaders are still unclear as to what Trump will back.
Trump is all-in on the compromise bill. But the bill on child separation? Maybe he'll back it, maybe he won't. It would be really weird if he didn't since he's spent the past two weeks insisting that "Congress must fix!" the child-separation problem by legislation, and now here they are trying to do it — and he's undecided. Perhaps we'll have another all-caps tweet this afternoon as the presidential weathervane turns.
Exit question: Why *wouldn't* he sign a standalone bill on child separation? Is he worried that it might pass and then he couldn't change his mind yet again by reinstituting the policy at the border?
Update: Sweet fancy moses. The compromise bill backed this morning by POTUS in his tweet has been demolished.
What the hell happened? House conservatives begged him for days to give them some cover by publicly backing the bill, and he finally did it — whereupon the caucus turned around and roundly humiliated him in the floor vote. Did conservatives get annoyed at him for his dithering and decide to use this as an opportunity to rebuke him?
This is a hard blow to centrists. Granted, they finally got their chance to vote for a bill with a DREAM amnesty in it, but they have less to show for it now than they would have if the bill had passed. This is low-key one of the biggest House fiascos of Trump's presidency.

Carter Page III (Woody Harrelson) is a society "walker", whose job entails squiring the wives of the rich and powerful to events their husbands could not accompany them to. When one of his friends, Lynn (Kristin Scott Thomas), wife of a liberal senator finds her lover murdered, he agrees to say he found the body to save her and her husband political embarrassment. Soon Carter is caught in a web of Washington intrigue and mixed motives and the people he considered friends are deserting him one by one.
A chance for us to work with a real legend of film, Paul Schrader on this very cool film with a stellar cast! This was all about great dialogues from some fantastic actors, with a flavour of Washington society weaved in for good measure.
