B/T: S/R
Acquired: Via trade from the Rangers on March 29, 2016, along with C Bobby Wilson, for C Bryan Holaday (DET). Originally drafted by the Blue Jays in the 17th round of the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft (TOR).
4-13 with a 3.96 ERA in 25 starts between Erie (Double-A) and Toledo (Triple-A), striking out 115 and walking 46 in 131 2/3 innings while allowing 148 hits.
Recalled from Toledo on September 2 when rosters expanded.
September 2, in a 5-2 loss to the Indians. The second of three pitchers on the night, he allowed two hits over three-and-one-third shutout innings, though he did hit two batters. Of 47 pitches thrown, 28 were for strikes. Coming on to start the top of the sixth in relief of right-handed starter Jordan Zimmermann, he retired Francisco Lindor on a fly ball to left before Greg Allen reached on an infield single. Jose Ramirez then flew out to right and Edwin Encarnacion grounded out to shortstop. In the seventh, Carlos Santana flew out to right, Lonnie Chisenhall popped out to shortstop and Abraham Almonte grounded out to second. In the eighth, Yan Gomes grounded out to second and Giovanny Urshela grounded out to shortstop before Lindor reached on an infield single. He was stranded, though, when Allen grounded back to the mound. In the ninth, Ramirez grounded out to first before Jaye hit back-to-back batters, Encarnacion and Santana, before being replaced by left-handed reliever Daniel Stumpf.
The well-traveled Jaye is now with his fourth organization via a trio of trades, starting his career out of high school in Fayetteville, Georgia, when he was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2010. Dealt to the White Sox on New Year's Day of 2012 with RHP Daniel Webb for RHP Jason Frasor, he was then dealt to the Rangers on December 10, 2015, for LHP Will Lamb. Ranked by Baseball Americaas the Tigers' No. 17 prospect coming into 2017, he's armed with a fastball in the low 90s, a slider and a changeup. In 2016, making the same Erie/Toledo split, he was 5-12 with a 3.95 ERA in 28 starts, striking out 135 and walking 41 while allowing 157 hits in 161 2/3 innings. He's been a workhorse thus far, throwing 147 2/3 innings in 2015 at Birmingham (Double-A) and 161 innings including a pair of complete games between Winston-Salem (High A) and Birmingham in 2014. In fact, his 131 2/3 innings before his promotion is his lowest tally since he made it to full season action in 2014.

Getting ready for Demo Day!
The Nestlé team is getting super excited for Demo Day this Saturday! Lots to do before then, so our creative brain cells are working hard right now!
Keeping our pitch focused – so easy to get side tracked explaining the challenge/problem!
All this feedback and our own reflections had us dive back into business canvassing, prototyping and finalising our innovation!
Of course, a big reflection in all of this has been how to get Nestlé on board for this innovation. Having had the chance to meet with the team in Vevey and getting a good understanding of the problems that the company is facing, and beyond that, the difficulties in the cocoa sector in Côte d'Ivoire, has made us understand that there simply is no "magic bullet" that can address all of the difficulties.
But we thought a good way to start is to present our quite radical innovation (you'll see on Saturday!) and show how this could be an opportunity for Nestlé to take their "Creating Shared Value" program to a higher level, and become a pioneer in the field. It might be risky, but we do thoroughly believe that this is a step towards fundamentally improving the lives of rural communities in Côte d'Ivoire. And that's what we want to get across at the Demo Day on Saturday.
Yet another busy and productive week for the Nestle team!
After our meeting with the challenge setters at the Nestle headquarters at Vevey, the team decided to revisit the challenge with a new paradigm fuelled by Nestle's suggestion to think 'big'. We identified the key ideas/themes to build on.
With the feedback and pitching session drawing closer and with suggestions from our mentor to emphasize on why Nestle should buy our pitch and what's in it for our stakeholder, we are building our ideas using the tools from the design thinking workshop.
Here's an image of our ideas canvassed on the library bubble walls to show you how serious things can get.
And the motivation from Sara's home-made cookies did wonders!
Needless to say, they were delicious. To figure out how those helped us towards building a sustainable and scalable social innovation and what makes our innovation work, catch us on this Saturday, 15th November at the workshop or on Tuesday, 18th November at the Global Entrepreneurship Week Pitching and Feedback Session.
The Nestlé C4SI team has been diligently working to brainstorm and refine our potential innovations over the last few weeks. The cherry on top of this exciting (and productive) journey occurred today. Our team was fortunate enough to take a trip down the lake to Vevey, home to Nestlé's global headquarters! During this meeting we met with our challenge-setter, Mr. Yann Wyss, Human Rights Manager at Nestlè. Yann graciously offered a guided tour of the building in which we strolled through Nestlé's exhibition floor and checked out their products from all around the world. We even learned that Nestlé sells numerous types of Kit-Kat bars in Japan, including Wasabi flavor! And did you know Cailler chocolate is owned by Nestlé? We learned a lot about Nestlé's products with several surprises along the way!
After consuming copious amounts of delicious Nespresso from machines placed strategically throughout the building, the real meeting began. We had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Darrell High, Nestlé Cocoa Plan Manager and Mr. Duncan Pollard, who runs the rural development framework. We presented some of the solutions to our challenges, including identifying key actors in the cocoa supply chain in Cote d'Ivoire through a stakeholder matrix, and offering several proposed innovations. We identified low involvement of women in the cocoa farming, information asymmetry on information and price, low bargaining power of farmers, uncertainty of future supply due to rural-urban migration of youth, and child labor, among others, as potential problems facing Nestlé's current approach to Creating Shared Value.
This brings us to this week's topic: How does your social innovation fit your target users?
One thing that we quickly learned is that we need to continue to apply design thinking in our approach to innovation in Nestlé's cocoa supply chain. We were confronted with tough, but very useful, questions from Yann, Darrell and Duncan regarding the feasibility of some our ideas and moreover, the role of the private sector in implementing our innovative ideas. We realized that some of our innovations, while creative and potentially impactful, do not fit our target user, which in this case is Nestlé (as opposed to the smallholder farmers). In addressing such a complex challenge involving a multitude of stakeholders, it is often easy to forget who our intended target users are.
We hope to reflect on the feedback we've received in order to incorporate it into our second round of brainstorming and design-thinking innovation going forward. While we have a long way to go, we are happy to report that we were invited back for a final presentation following our Demo Day presentation in December. We look forward to returning to Nestlé headquarters and are excited for the weeks to come!
What could be done to improve the value distribution in the cocoa value chain and cocoa farmer's living income in West African countries, and in Côte d'Ivoire in particular?
What is the role of the different actors in the cocoa value chain, i.e. farmers, farm cooperatives, traders/exporters, processors, manufacturers, retailers, consumers? What is the role of other, external actors such as the government, international organisations, donor agencies, certification schemes, NGOs, etc.?
How would this fit with (and what is missing in) Nestlé's approach to Creating Shared Value (CSV), and in particular with what has already been achieved as part of the Nestlé Cocoa Plan?
As the largest food company in the world, Nestlé is directly sourcing from some 680,000 farms globally and indirectly from even more. Improving the rights, compensation and working conditions of farmers and workers in the Nestlé's supply chain, and enabling them to participate in a more sustainable cocoa sector would make a difference to millions of workers, their families, and their homeland. In order to tackle and find solutions to this challenge, we found it necessary to first identify the key issues to be resolved through the supply chain. The issues can be categorized as following 1) engaging multi-stakeholders in the Nestlé CSV framework, 2) issues affecting women and children, and 3) sustainable cocoa management.
Side-selling of farmers to traitants, outside of cooperatives.
Engagement with other stakeholders other than cooperatives.
Approximately 80% of Nestlé's standard cocoa is supplied through traitants, the "unorganized sector" that hides information from cooperatives and farmers. Traitants with an established relationship with an exporter are sometimes pre-financed to buy cocoa beans. With the cash they have, traitants often get cocoa beans directly with lower prices from the farmers. Therefore, we have identified the development of a mechanism to enforce sustainable management of the traitants as a potential key to the solution. We have also considered the efforts of other actors both inside and outside the supply chain, along with relevant national and international actors as critical in tackling the issue.
Dominance of men in the production industry.
The issue of gender has been widely recognized in the cocoa industry as women are often restricted from the benefits of the cocoa supply chain, facing instances of exploitation and limited access to land. Child labor is still a reality in Côte d'Ivoire, most existing programs and stakeholder efforts concentrate on the elimination of the worst forms of child labor rather than on aspects such as parental care, forced labor, wage and benefits, and health and safety even though these factors could impact the presence of child. Thus integrating measures to confront issues affecting women and children into the fair labor strategy as a whole is important to solve the challenge.
37% of cocoa goes through other sales channels or is of inferior quality and 30% of cocoa is lost due to disease à Is this cocoa sold elsewhere, what is happening to it?
Alternative livelihoods: Is it possible to plant any other crops as complements?
Another aspect we think is significant in creating share value is protecting the ecological condition in improving the resilience of cocoa to disease and natural disaster. As there is about 30% loss in cocoa due to disease, causing much economic loss to the farmers, we seek to find a countermeasure, such as complementary crops to nourish the soil as a solution. Moreover, we have discovered that cocoa sector has faced the issue of discontinuity, since young people do not want get involved in the supply chain. Nestlé has adopted and is considering introducing a number of certifications to improve the supply chain a a more sustainable and just manner. We would like to assess the benefits and limitation of these certification systems to see how they better serve the people and the natural environment in the supply chain. We believe tackling the aforementioned key issues will help us move closer to finding a solution for the Nestlé challenge.

Muck, soot and pigs trotters | The Dacorum Heritage Trust Ltd.
William Ellis, formerly a brewer from London, moved to the Little Gaddesden area in 1717, after marrying a rich widow. He was shocked by the conservative Chiltern farming methods, hardly changed since the Romans colonised the Gade valley. This discovery provoked Ellis to undertake some simple experiments in arable crop production.
Ellis began farming at Church Farm and its glebe lands in Little Gaddesden, comprising 24 enclosed fields at that time. He found that there were several sorts of soil on his land. Whilst recognising that the valleys were infinitely more fertile than the hills, he argued that Chiltern soils could give good results if they were properly managed. The farmers of the 18th century believed in keeping their soils in good heart and so, in the days before commercial fertilisers, manures of all kinds were invaluable.
William Ellis became an author of many books on agriculture and, although he was prone to report gossipy anecdotes and quack remedies for common ailments, he advocated many practices which made sense. He became a valued farm management consultant all over the country and even sold implements and seeds to supplement his income. His monthly guides were published and well received in an era before mass media. Paul Stanbridge, a local farmer of today, believes Ellis was certainly an innovator, but he was also no charlatan.
In the Modern Husbandman (1750), Ellis recommended that soot (from London's many chimneys), as well as coal ashes, ox or cows' hooves, hogs' hair, horn shavings and even pigs' trotters should be ploughed in, to improve the texture of the land. Horse manure was also brought back from London, after the loads of hay or corn had been delivered to the ever-growing city.
Chalk was used a great deal to dress the fields and the old 'chalk dells' or pits can still be seen today. Lime was obtained by burning chalk and slaking it with water, producing a fine powder. Nothing seems to have been too much trouble to ensure the health and vitality of the land. Urine was a highly valued component and a vine outside a pub in Little Gaddesden benefited from the regulars' nightly contribution, producing more grapes than any other. But, according to Ellis, the best fertiliser of all was the composted remains of the village privies!
Peter Kalm, A Swedish-Finnish scientist, travelled in England and North America in 1748-51, looking at agricultural practices. He meticulously recorded all that he saw and heard, and was very surprised to find that Ellis did not have time to practice what he preached. Apparently, Church Farm was sorely neglected and certainly did not act as a showplace for the methods about which he wrote.
The Great Hertfordshire Plough in the 17th century, from Walter Blith's English Improver Improved of 1653.
Ellis lived at Church Farm for over 50 years, becoming well-known both nationally and internationally. A preface to his work in 1772 explained that all the old wives' tales, colourful characters and gossipy digressions were discarded, since they diminished the value of his agricultural writings.
However, Ellis's books, such as The Practical Farmer (1732) and Chiltern and Vale Farming Explained (1733), had an effect on the nation's agriculture and he should not be discounted in terms of the so-called 'Agricultural Revolution'.


A couple of weeks ago I helped my boyfriend make his lunch for the week. We made chicken, butter chicken sauce, Indian spiced mashed potatoes and swiss chard and radish salad. His lunches are pretty much always very meat-centric so I never taste them, let alone eat them myself. However, I couldn't stop snacking on the mashed potatoes dipped in the butter chicken sauce. It was ridiculously good, I literally couldn't stop eating it. I even ate some throughout the week, even though I felt bad for depleting his lunch supplies.

In 1982 and 1983 and again in 1997 and 1998, well-recorded El Niño events turned the world's weather upside down. The west coasts of the United States and Peru received record rainfall and flooding, while hurricanes raged in Mexico, Hawaii, and Tahiti. Severe drought and heat struck Australia, Asia, Indonesia, and Africa, causing crop failures, starvation, and forest fires.
El Niños are part of a recurring weather cycle that is beyond the control of humanity and appears to have occurred for millennia. Thanks to improved research abilities in recent years and the deployment of moored instruments to sense mid-ocean conditions, scientists are now able to better understand and predict these climate phenomena.
Understanding El Niño
The anchovy fishery off the Pacific Coast of Peru has supported regional populations for centuries. Fishers noticed a periodic drop in their typically sizable anchovy catch that seemed to coincide with a dramatic warming of the ocean waters. This regularly began in December, near Christmas, prompting the fisherman to name the event "El Niño", for "the Christ child." On other occasions, the ocean waters would turn cold. This was termed "La Niña," or "the girl child." El Niño and La Niña events are most apparent in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, but similar events occur in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, although at a lesser intensity.
Normal Ocean Conditions.
In the equatorial region, the Sun transfers maximum energy to surface waters of the ocean. Under normal, non-El Niño conditions, the trade winds blow toward the west across the surface of the tropical Pacific Ocean. These strong, constant winds push and drag the warm surface water westward, "piling" it up and holding it in the western Pacific Ocean basin. The sea-surface level is normally about one-half meter higher in Indonesia than it is in Peru.
El Niño was named by Peruvian fishers who noticed that the warming of ocean surface waters reduced their anchovy catch. Here fishers pull a load of anchovies off the coast of Peru during normal ocean conditions.
During the journey west, surface waters are heated by the Sun over a huge area west of the international dateline, known as the West Pacific warm pool. The sea-surface temperature is approximately 8°C (14°F) higher in the western waters, with cool temperatures off South America. The air over the western warm pool is also very humid owing to its long passage over the tropical ocean. When the warm air rises in the west, heavy precipitation is produced over Indonesia, leaving the Eastern Pacific relatively dry.
With the removal of the warm surface waters, an upwelling current is created in the east Pacific Ocean, bringing cold water up from deeper levels. This cold water is nutrient-rich, supporting high levels of phytoplankton and zooplankton , diverse marine ecosystems, and rich fisheries.
El Niño Ocean Conditions.
During an El Niño event, the trade winds relax in the central and eastern Pacific. Without the constant force of the wind to hold the warm waters back, the West Pacific warm pool begins to migrate easterly as the sea-surface level begins to equalize, an event termed an "El Niño/Southern Oscillation" (ENSO).
The Southern Oscillation is an atmospheric cycle of fluctuating high and low pressure cells. High pressure in the Pacific Ocean and low pressure
These two pseudo-color satellite images show variable conditions in the Pacific Ocean in 1998 and 1999. Red and white are increased heat storage; purple and blue are low sea level; and green is normal conditions.
in the Indian Ocean switch back and forth on a 3-year to 4-year cycle. Strong El Niño conditions coincide with low pressure over the Pacific Ocean, and La Niña coincides with the high pressure over the Pacific Ocean. The phenomenon is a product of the interaction between ocean and atmosphere.
As an El Niño progresses, it produces a rise in the ocean's thermocline in the western Pacific and a fall in the thermocline in the east. This change reduces the upwelling of cool subsurface water and cuts off the supply of nutrient-rich cold water upwelling from below. The result is a dramatic rise in sea-surface temperature and a drastic decline in plankton growth, which is devastating to the marine food chain , including commercial fisheries in the region.
With the weakening of the easterly tradewinds, humid air follows the warm water eastward, causing rainfall and associated flooding along the west coasts of North and South America and drought in Indonesia and Australia. The eastward displacement of the atmosphere overlying the warmer water results in dramatic changes in the global atmospheric circulation, which in turn force changes in the weather activity of regions far removed from the El Niño waters of the tropical Pacific.
La Niña.
La Niña is less understood than El Niño, but it also can have a devastating effect. Under certain conditions, the trade winds are stronger than normal, causing surface waters in the equatorial Pacific to be colder than average, with upwelling occurring as far as the Central Pacific.
Below-average sea-surface temperatures commonly occur following an El Niño and appear to be associated with weather events opposite that of El Niño. Monsoons in the Indian Ocean are wetter than normal while summers in North America are hot and dry. However, winters in northern North America have set records for cold temperatures and snowfall, with an increase in devastating tornadoes in the south during La Niña events.
Climatology and Effects of El Niño
Climatologists have been perplexed about the occurrences of El Niños since they first were identified. Through comparison of the sea-surface temperature data extending back to the 1860s, it has been determined that the Earth's ocean temperature appears to pass through a 10-year cycle as well as the 3-year to 4-year cycle.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, the equatorial Pacific Ocean began a period of warmer than normal sea-surface temperatures. This period was marked by a higher occurrence of El Niño conditions than normal. Other long periods of low El Niño or La Niña activity can be seen in the historical pattern of temperature anomalies. The following graph shows El Niño events (red) and La Niña events (blue) since 1960. The normal sea-surface temperature is expressed as 0°C variation.
El Niño events can occur at any time and be of various strengths. A mild El Niño will affect only the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Strong El Niño events influence equatorial weather dramatically and often can be felt worldwide.
El Niño events commonly alter the course of the atmospheric jet stream, which is responsible for driving the storm fronts. This produces unusual weather patterns in most parts of the world. Severe drought and forest fires are experienced in Australia, Africa, Indonesia, and Brazil. Heavy rains and flooding occur from the southeastern United States to Peru and Chile, with tropical hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean.
Studying El Niño
Scientists use many techniques to measure the oceans. Data from multiple sources are combined to produce graphic images of changing ocean conditions. These sources of information include moored buoys, drifting buoys, tide-gage stations, satellite data relay, and volunteer observing ships.
To learn more about equatorial ocean conditions in the Pacific, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) deployed moored open-ocean buoys that track the sea-surface conditions. The Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array consists of approximately 70 buoys deployed in a grid across the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean.
There are two types of buoys used in the TAO array. ATLAS buoys measure surface winds, air temperature, relative humidity, and ocean temperatures in the upper 500 meters (1,640 feet) of the water column. Equatorial Current Meter buoys include additional instruments to measure ocean currents, precipitation and ultraviolet radiation. The data from each buoy are transmitted to an observational satellite in orbit around the Earth and then transmitted to NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. The raw data are analyzed and computer models are created, visually indicating present ocean conditions.
The secret to discovering whether an El Niño or La Niña event is occurring is a little more complex. Climatology data from the historical record give a picture of the fluctuations in sea-surface temperature over the last 160 years. Averaging all of the data and determining the mean (average) sea-surface temperature for each day of the year produce a hypothetical set of statistically "normal" ocean conditions. Looking only at the present-day sea-surface temperatures will tell little until it is put in perspective with the assumed normal ocean conditions.
The difference between current sea-surface temperatures and the normal temperature is termed the anomaly. By plotting the anomaly temperatures, scientists can obtain a precise idea of the intensity of change in sea-surface temperatures. This approach aids in the prediction of El Niño and La Niña events and produces data that will be used in the future to determine the level and speed of any change in climate that the Earth may experience. The data may also be used to forecast how changing ocean conditions may affect weather and climate systems worldwide.

Coral bleaching occurs when the coral expel their symbiotic algae due to extreme stress. A severe bleaching event struck the corals of the Rangiroa Atoll in French Polynesia in 1998, one of the strongest El Niño years (1997–1998) recorded. Vast numbers of corals died suddenly during a record-breaking El Niño that raised sea-surface temperature 1°C over a 3-month period. Because extreme temperatures and solar irradiation are the main cause of coral bleaching, El Niño could have played a major role.

At 27,824 ft. (8,481 m), Makalu is the fifth highest mountain on earth. For Carina Ahlqvist, who in the spring of 2018 will attempt to become the first Scandinavian woman to reach its summit, the peak is far from the only objective. Her expedition, called the Makalu Climate Climb, will emphasize having a low environmental impact while participating in climate projects in high-altitude areas of the Nepali Himalaya, places that are seeing some of the greatest effects of climate change.
Carina comes from Stockholm, Sweden, but perceives herself firstly as a citizen of the world. At age 20, while her peers chose more conventional study abroad opportunities, she opted for something else: attempting to climb her first mountain, a 16,400-foot (5,000 m.) peak on Africa's Mt. Kenya.
The experience inspired her respect for nature and led her to seek life goals beyond the standard path. Carina had found her home in the outdoors, and with that, a desire to preserve natural environments.

Because climate change affects all countries and people, it was important to Carina to create an international team for her expedition. She has invited a group of climate scientists, environmentally-inclined travelers, and a photographer to join the trek to the Makalu base camp and support climate research projects along the way. So far, they have team members from the United States, Switzerland, Sweden, and France, and a Nepali guide.
Working with NASA and the European Space Agency (NASA's corresponding agency in Europe), the expedition will make boots-on-the-ground observations of the Barun Glacier, an area that's remote and difficult to access. Carina's team will collect rock samples left behind from the glacier's retreat, which researchers will date and use to trace its historic extent. The team will also assess the thickness of the rock debris lying on the glacier's surface, which will allow satellite data to be calibrated to model the glacier's energy and mass. Together, these measurements will help accurately determine the effects of climate change.
Carina and her team will also will visit Sherpa villages to measure the results of environmentally-friendly cooking stoves, installed by The Himalayan Stove Project (HSP), an organization Carina connected with on a previous trip to the Himalaya. The stoves have been shown to reduce the need for fuel by up to 80%, resulting in less deforestation, carbon dioxide release, and smoke inside homes. After her Makalu team measures the impacts of HSP's existing stoves at high altitude, she hopes to expand their reach to other areas she has visited.
Planning and preparing to climb Makalu is an undertaking in itself, especially since Carina will be guiding the strenuous trekking portion of the expedition until they reach base camp at 15,978 feet. (4,870 m).

"We all have our own objectives for life and own summits to climb. I simply wish to show that 'hey, you can do it.' Give it a serious try, get your goals together, create plans accordingly, and believe in yourself.

Tusk Rhino Trail Raises Record-Breaking Amount for Tusk's Work
The Tusk Rhino Trail sculptures have raised an extraordinary £624,000 at auction.
Last night, the lots went under the hammer at Christie's auction house, raising a record-breaking amount for Tusk, surpassing any other fundraising event in the charity's 28-year history. Every penny raised from the auction will go directly to support our conservation work across Africa, including our efforts to tackle rhino poaching and the illegal wildlife trade (IWT).
The artworks were created by some of the world's leading contemporary artists and generously donated to Tusk. Artists including Ronnie Wood, Zhang Huan, Harland Miller and Dave White painted the unique rhino sculptures that took to the streets of London over the summer to raise awareness of the plight of the rhino in Africa and the vital work Tusk is doing to protect them and other endangered species.
Zac Goldsmith MP, the IWT Conference Champion, opened the auction, highlighting the importance of funds raised in the fight to #endwildlifecrime, and to tackle rhino poaching. "We're surrounded by these beautiful rhinos", he said. "Well there are about 30,000 left in the wild, and we lost 7,000 in the last 10 years. The trouble with these numbers is that they're slightly anaesthetic. After a while you just get used to these numbers, but if you stop to think about the individual numbers, it is appalling."
Five of the rhino sculptures will make an appearance at this week's IWT conference in London. The conference on 11 to 12 October 2018 will bring together global leaders to help eradicate illegal wildlife trade and better protect the world's most iconic species from the threat of extinction. Zac spoke of how some "serious initiatives" will come out from the conference, including the creation of an Ivory Alliance, further commitments from individual countries to tackle IWT, and a very ambitious plan around the concept of wildlife corridors. He said, "I hope, as I know all of you do, that something really big emerges over the next couple of days, and I think it will, and I know it can."
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our contributing artists, sponsors – particularly ISPS Handa, Land Rover and Pickfords – to Christie's and auctioneer Hugh Edmeades, to the buyers, and to the project's curator Chris Westbrook without whom the project would not have been possible.

Thunder Over New Hampshire
It had been 10 years since the Pease and the Air Force Thunderbirds had an air show at the former Pease AFB. Due to COVID, it's was 3 years since my last air show. So I was so excited to have Portsmouth and the 157th ARW not cancel the show as this is my home airport where my passion for aviation was born. The bad part of shows at Portsmouth is you have to shoot into the sun all afternoon and lighting was difficult with the sun in and out of the clouds and a haze in the air on this hot weekend.
A Rhode Island C-130J from the 143rd AW was the Jump Ship for the US Special Ops Jump team. As they climbed for the National Anthem, Mike Wiskus in his Lucas Oil S-1-11B known as the Super Stinker. The VT ANG's F-35s had taken off prior and came back to make a few passes to show off the 158th FW's new toys. They had just transitioned out of their F-16's to be the first guard unit with F-35's.
Greg Coyer in his T-33 Shooting Star took center stage next. His other plane that flies on the West Coast was in one of the old alert Quonset hangers at Pease for a long time. Then local pilot Rob Holland took off for a quick intro demo. Then it was time for the F-22 to rock the show line, the way this plane moves and just amazing and leaves the crowd in awe. On Sunday we were treated with a Charleston C-17 that had stopped in overnight from Europe. On his departure during the show, he asked if he could make a few passes which was a nice add.
P-51 Quick Silver flown by Bill Yoak went up after the Raptor demo landed for some beautiful passes. Then Mike Wiskus took off again so he could race the Jet Truck Coinforce.com. The 157th new tanker, the KC-46A Pegasus went up for a demo. The ARW had just transitioned out of the KC-135 which had been at Pease for over 60 years. 2019 the last KC-135 departed for the AZ ANG. The units first KC-46A arrived on 8/8/19.
Now it was time for the main act, the USAF Thunderbirds. It was a great end to a fantastic show. The sneak pass performed by female pilot Michelle "Mace" Curran, who will finish out her 3rd Thunderbird season ending her rotation with the team. She's mentioned on Instagram that she'll be leaving the Air Force and moving into the Air National Guard. She's been an amazing advocate for the team and women pilots. There was a great mix of static airplanes, VT F-35's, MA F-15's, A-10's from Pope, 2 E-2's and a C-2 from NAS Norfolk. A KC-135R from Mildenhall, a T-6 II NAS Pensacola and a T-1 from Laughlin AFB. For the heavies, we had a C-17 from Dover, KC-10 from McGuire, a C-5 from Westover, about 7 KC-46's and the New England Patriots airplane. I'd like to thank the 157th PAO for giving me access Friday and Saturday. They're already talking about a show returning in 2 years, so stay tuned.

The Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) was founded in 1979 in the United States as a means of exchanging ideas, stimulating research, and promoting graduate training in environmental and natural resource economics. The majority of its members are affiliated with universities, government agencies, non-profit research organizations, and consulting firms. Many of AERE's members hold graduate degrees in economics, agricultural economics, or related fields, but there are numerous student members as well. The organization also serves many non-specialist members with environmental policy interests. The United States is the country with the largest single share of AERE members, but the organization welcomes members from all countries. Annual individual memberships currently number approximately 800. AERE is generally acknowledged as the primary professional organization for Environmental and Natural Resources economists in the USA. The European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists is its European equivalent.

Journals
AERE has two journals: the Journal of the Association for Environmental and Resource Economists, and the Review of Environmental Economics and Policy.

Newsletter
AERE started to issue digital newsletter to current AERE members twice a year from 1981.  The newsletter includes policy essays, meeting announcements, calls for papers, new publications, research reports, position announcements and other information of interest to AERE members and environmental economists in general.

Activities
AERE sponsors annual summer meetings jointly with the AAEA (Agricultural & Applied Economics Association) and annual winter meetings with the ASSA (Allied Social Sciences Association). The AERE Workshop takes place each June, and is traditionally organized around a single theme with the generous sponsorship of a consortium of government agencies. Its topics range from environmental policy to non-point source pollution to heath risks. Current sponsors of the workshop are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Economic Research Service (US Department of Agriculture), and the Fish and Wildlife Service (US Department of the Interior).
In some cases, there are special AERE sessions at the meetings of regional economics associations (such as the Southern Economic Association (SEA) and, beginning in 2009, the Western Economic Association International (WEAI).  AERE also co-sponsors the World Congress of Environmental and Resource Economists which is held every four years, and will be held next in 2010.
Its website aere.org was set up as the AERE gopher (AERE-G) in 1994 at the University of Kentucky. In the same year, its volunteer AERE e-mail listserv (AERE-L) also began. Now RESECON is the official e-mail listserv of AERE.

Awards
AERE confers an award, annually, for a Publication of Enduring Quality in the field of environmental and natural resource economics. The organization also designates up to three new AERE Fellows each year. The awards are conferred at the Annual AERE Luncheon each January, when the organization sponsors a series of sessions in conjunction with the Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) meetings.

Sister organization
AERE maintains an affiliation with its European sister organization, the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, founded in 1990. Many environmental economists hold memberships in both AERE and EAERE.

Forgotten Warriors: Don Lee
March 30, 2022 in Boxing History Forum
A noted middleweight contender of the 80's, Lee stood out with his height of 6'2 and a reach of 78 inches as one of the tallest middleweights of that time (Michael Nunn was of around the same height). On top of that, he could hit and boxed well enough, especially considering his height and size-however, he turned out to be not good enough to really succeed and win a world title, or even fight for one. His fighting alias was "Dangerous" and it sure was dangerous to take him lightly. He was also unlucky a couple times because he was stopped on cuts in two of his important fights. His greatest victory was knocking out Tony Sibson in 8 rounds in 1984. Lee was interesting because he only fought as a pro in the 80's, between 1981 and 1989. Unfortunately, in the middle of his career, he also had a brush with the law and was arrested in 1985 for several charges, among them possession of a stolen gun. Hence, his moniker gained another meaning. This is the story of Dangerous Dan Lee.
He was born Donald Vincent Lee on 2 October 1960, in Gary, Indiana-the murder capital of USA in the 70's. He later moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before or after becoming a pro boxer. As amateur, he won the 1981 Golden Gloves and finished with a record of 196-6. He had his first pro fight 13 June same year and beat Billy Evans by a KO1. He went 13-0 with all knockouts before surprisingly losing by TKO1 to Art McCloud 15 December 1982 in Chicago. He then rebounded by scoring 2 more knockouts, before drawing against Guy Kennedy. After 4 more knockout victories, he was matched against the vastly more experienced Englishman Tony Sibson, who then had a record of 49-4-1. Sibson was however only 2 and a half years older and at 5'8 he was 6 inches shorter, but he did well against much taller opponents usually. The fight was at Sands Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, 15 January 1984. Sibson started out aggressively and sent Lee down in the last seconds of the first round. However, in the third, Lee sent Sibson down with a flush left hook and then put him down twice more in that round. There was no three knockdown rule here, otherwise the fight would end right there. Sibson came back in the fight and then in the eight he put Lee down for a flash knockdown. After Lee rose, he was sent reeling by Sibson's assault, but then as Sibson went charging at him, he caught him with another flush straight left which put Sibson down and out. That was a major victory for Lee, because Sibson had fought Marvin Hagler for the world title the previous year and was the European champion more than once. On 8 March next year, he fought Doug DeWitt but the fight ended a draw after 10 rounds.
After scoring 3 more knockouts, he was matched against a major new contender on the rise-Michael Olajide. The fight was again at Sands Hotel Casino, 1 February 1987 and early on, Lee had some success, wobbling Olajide with a left hook, but was then put down in round 5 and in round 9 he was hit with two successive right hands and knocked out badly. Olajide went on to fight for the IBF title against Frank Tate that fall. For Lee, that loss marked the beginning of the end of his success. After winning two fights on points, he went to England to fight Michael Watson, back then an unknown who soon thereafter would show himself as a serious contender. The fight was on 3 February 1988 at Wembley and Lee got unlucky and suffered a cut in his mouth and the fight had to be stopped after 5 rounds. After that, he jumped up to the light heavyweight division and fought another young and hot contender: Jeff Hitman Harding. The fight was in Sydney, Australia, 18 July, and once again, Lee had to retire because of a cut, or several cuts, after being behind 78-74 on points. He then decided 175 wasn't suited for him and went down to 168, which was still a relatively new division with few big names. He did well here at first, but only against no-hopers, scoring 3 knockouts first, and then had his second best win against the slick Sanderline Williams, in a fight for the NABF title. It was on 14 April 1989 when Don Lee managed to win his only belt, by outpointing Williams with wide scores after 12 rounds, despite getting cut early on. The title had been vacated by Tommy Hearns, who was Lee's sparring partner. And then it all went downhill again as he was disqualified in his very first defense against Paul Whittaker, only 2 months later, 19 June. It was still a very eventful fight and Lee was down twice before knocking Whittaker down four times, but he hit him every time he was down, which brought forth the disqualification, at the end of the 6th. He had his last fight on 13 November that year and won by UD10 against Keith McMurray. He left the boxing career with a record of 32 wins, 27 by ko, 5 losses and 2 draws.
Don Lee was definitely a capable fighter and because of his physical attributes was hard to fight for most middleweights of that time, who were shorter and had smaller reach. With his power, he was also a rather dangerous opponent, however, like many other big men and punchers, he probably thought he was indestructible and then found out he wasn't. Guys who got into wars and exchanges always lived more dangerously than those who had a more technical and cautious approach. But-that is why everyone loves watching the first kind and not the second. There isn't much info on him otherwise and there is no info about his current whereabouts. He was one of those fighters that came and fought and then after retirement completely vanished from sight. His trouble with the law might've been another reason why he retired so soon, but he had already lost too many important fights and had entered a division that was just starting to shape up, thanks to the presence (albeit a short one) of guys like Hearns and Leonard. Whatever be the truth there, one thing is certain: Don Lee was and is a FORGOTTEN WARRIOR!


ASUKA Restaurant specializes in its namesake hotpot dish called the Asuka nabe. It is a hotpot dish dating back over 1,300 years to the Asuka period of Japanese history and originates from the ancient capital city of Nara. It is considered to be one of the earliest Japanese hot pot dishes. The dish is said to have been first made by a monk using milk, honey, and miso; ingredients that were considered to be extravagant and luxurious at that time period. The modern version of that hotpot served at Asuka restaurant incorporates chicken broth and kombu seaweed to those classic ingredients. The Asuka nabe has been passed down through the millennia and is considered a local hometown dish in now parts of Nara.
Beyond its namesake dish, AsukaNabe + Shabu Shabu also prides itself in a large variety of hand-made soup broths and selections of meats and vegetables. With 16 different types of hand-made soup broths, 15 types of Shabu Shabu sets, 6 types of Nabe, and over 60 different side menu items; the variety of flavors and hot pot experiences are vast. Chef Ikeguchi also takes incredible care in personally selecting and purchasing his meats, seafood, and produce; this personal attention to each ingredient can be time consuming given the size of the menu, but it is now part of his daily ritual to insure that only the freshest seasonal ingredients are served.
CHEF Hitoshi "Kenny" Ikeguchi was born in Nara, Japan, the home of the Asuka nabe. He has nearly 50 years of experience in the food and hospitality industry, receiving his culinary training at Osaka Castle Hotel after he graduated from the prestigious Tsuji Culinary Institute.
In 1972, he moved to Vancouver Canada to pursue a personal chef career. He managed the Vancouver–branch of Kobe Japanese Steak House and all their personal and business events. In 1973 he transferred to Hawaii for the opening of the new branch of Kobe steak house in Waikiki and worked 3 more years before moving to New York City.
In New York, Chef Ikeguchi joined Georges Rey Français fine dining restaurant in Manhattan as the first Japanese head chef of a French fine dining restaurant in New York. In 1979, He moved back to Hawaii and took a position as sous-chef at The 3rd Floor Restaurant in Hawaiian Regent Hotel Waikiki, the top fine dining restaurants in Hawaii at the time. Since then he has called Hawaii his home and has endeavored in many restaurant and entertainment ventures in Hawaii and abroad such as the Moroccan restaurant Haji Baba, The Bistro by The Water fine dining restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California, as well as The Discotheque Club in the Royal Cebu Hotel in the Philippines.
In 2003, he opened Shabu Shabu House as a partnership; the first Shabu Shabu Hot pot restaurant in Hawaii. He has since parted ways with the Shabu Shabu House with the desire to create an authentic Japanese culinary experience that not only pays homage to his hometown roots but to the roots of Japanese hotpot cuisine as a whole. Asuka Restaurant is the manifestation of this desire to add his hometown flavor to the melting pot that is Hawaii.

Patient discussions
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder, characterised by severe preoccupation about weight and body shape. Includes recurrent episodes of binge eating with compensatory mechanisms, such as self-induced vomiting, to prevent weight gain.
Most common in women in their 20s and 30s.
Patients usually appear physically normal, although they may have low self-esteem and depressive thoughts, as well as lack of confidence.
Parotid hypertrophy and erosion of the teeth are the most common physical signs and may prompt diagnosis.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is considered optimal primary treatment for bulimia, but it may not always be available.
Selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may be used adjunctively to CBT, or as an alternative when CBT is not available.
Treatment of comorbid psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, is necessary to optimise the chance of recovery from bulimia nervosa. SSRIs are effective in additional treatment of comorbid psychiatric disease.
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by behaviours aimed at compensating for the binge. Binge-eating episodes are characterised by eating an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances, and a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode.[1]American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th ed., text revision (DSM-5-TR). Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Publishing; 2022. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviours occur in order to prevent weight gain. These behaviours include self-induced vomiting; fasting; excessive exercise; and misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medication. Binge-eating episodes typically occur, on average, at least weekly for 3 months.[1]American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th ed., text revision (DSM-5-TR). Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Publishing; 2022.

No hidden figures: success stories can help girls' STEM careers
From UN WOMEN
Op-ed by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 11 February
What makes a young girl believe she is less intelligent and capable than a boy? And what happens when those children face the 'hard' subjects like science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)? A recent study, 'Gender stereotypes about intellectual ability emerge early and influence children's interests' showed that by the age of 6, girls were already less likely than boys to describe their own gender as 'brilliant', and less likely to join an activity labelled for 'very, very smart' kids.
Research tells us repeatedly that girls and boys are strongly influenced in the development of their thinking and sense of themselves by narratives and stereotypes that start to be learnt at home and continue at school and through life, reinforced by the images and the roles they see in advertising, in films, books and news stories.
So, how do we change this, and what should girls learn now that sets them up to thrive in a transformed labour market of the future? The answer is not simply more and better STEM subject teaching. They must also learn that girls have an equal place in that future. This isn't a given. A major and underestimated obstacle for girls in STEM is the stereotype that has been created and perpetuated that boys are better at these subjects and careers.
Not only do we have to ensure that children enter and stay in education, we must equally pay close attention to what they are learning. The changing future of jobs means that fields of study for children now in school should include equipping them for 'new collar' jobs in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Jobs that do not exist today may be common within the next 20 years, in the green economy, or areas like robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and genomics.
The media plays a powerful role in biases, with the power through effective storytelling to reinforce negative perceptions and norms or to set the record straight and create new role models. 'Hidden Figures', Margot Lee Shetterly's book, that tells the 'untold story of the black women mathematicians who helped win the space race' is now released as a film and brings recognition to those who were doubly invisible at NASA—as women and as black women. Making accomplished women scientists visible is important for the accuracy of news and of history. It is also an essential part of building further scientific success.
Census data in the United States of America shows that women comprise 39 per cent of chemists and material scientists, and 28 per cent of environmental scientists and geoscientists. These are not the equal proportions that we ultimately want—but they are far higher levels of success in science than fiction tells us. Alarmingly, best-selling movies have tended to significantly underrepresent the facts. A 2015 global study supported by UN Women showed that, of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job, only 12 per cent were women. This tells us that women are still hidden figures in science—and it has a chilling effect on girls' ambitions.
According to a 2016 Girl-guiding survey, fewer than one in ten girls aged 7 to 10 in the UK said they would choose a career as an engineer or scientist. Un-learning this bias and changing the stereotypes is not a simple matter, yet it's essential if we are to see boys and girls able to compete on a more equal footing for the jobs of the future. This goes hand in hand with the practical programmes that teach immediately relevant skills.
UN Women is working with partners around the world to close the gender digital gap. For example, in Moldova, GirlsGoIT teaches girls digital, IT and entrepreneurial skills and specifically promotes positive role models through video similarly in Kenya and South Africa, 20 Mozilla Clubs for women and girls teach basic coding and digital literacy skills in safe spaces.
We need to deliberately and urgently un-stereotype the ecosystems in which children play, learn and grow up. Across the world, in schools, at home, in the work place and through the stories we tell—we all need to reflect and enable a world where girls can thrive in science, so that their success becomes as probable as they are capable.

Q: Python player movement def playerMove (board,player):
    userInput = input("Enter a direction NSWE: ").upper()
    if userInput == "N":
        if (player == 0):
            board[player] = '.'
            player += 1
            board[player] = '@'
    elif userInput == "S":

        if (player(board)-1):
            board[player] = '.'
            player += 1
            board[player] = '@'
    elif userInput == "E":

        if (player < len(board)-1):
            board[player] = '.'
            player += 1
            board[player] = '@'
    elif userInput == "W":

        if (player['x'] > 0):
            board[player] = '.'
            player -= 1
            board[player] = '@'

I want the single player to move up, down, left,and right. I am so lost. I am a beginner and I do not know where to begin.

A: It isn't clear from your question what exactly is going on, or supposed to go on.
From your references to a board though, you might want to keep track of a x and y coordinate for your player. It seems there's just the one dimension being tracked right now, which would equate to only being able to move left or right.
You might want to look into classes for Python (https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/classes.html) and define a class for the board, for the player, and so on. It'll be easier to keep track of what's what, and where's where.

Proteon Pharmaceuticals Joins Research Efforts to Fight Coronavirus
In response to the fight against coronavirus, Proteon Pharmaceuticals has joined the effort to create a new SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Detection Center in Lodz, Poland to conduct large-scale tests for virus diagnosis. The new laboratory was created at a very fast pace with the involvement and cooperation of the Institute of Medical Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the University of Lodz, the Medical University of Lodz. It is staffed by a team of microbiologists, geneticists, doctors and experts, including scientists from biotechnology company Proteon Pharmaceuticals. The goal is to conduct as many tests as possible in the shortest possible time.
"Quick and mass diagnostics is currently the most important tool for stopping the growth of coronavirus infections. If it is possible to detect a virus infection faster and on a larger scale, the infected people will be isolated sooner and receive appropriate treatment. This will translate into a decline in infection dynamics," says Prof. Jarosław Dastych, CEO of Proteon Pharmaceuticals S.A. "That is why we have made an immediate decision to involve our knowledge and experience in this project."
The laboratory, which was established in just a week, started work on March 23. It's being led by prof. Maciej Borowiec from the Medical University of Lodz. The research team is made up of outstanding scientists from the Institute of Medical Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection at the University of Lodz, the Medical University and Proteon Pharmaceuticals S.A. Work in the laboratory at the Medical University will be ongoing 24/7.
A group of microbiologists, virologists and geneticists from Proteon, all volunteers with experience working on a daily basis using molecular methods with infectious materials, will directly participate in the work of the research team. The company also provided the laboratory with necessary equipment including a laminar chamber that allows work in a sterile space, laptops, cell phones (operating in the Biohazard-3 class laboratory), laboratory materials and personal protective equipment. Proteon Pharmaceuticals' specialists also carried out installation works providing additional security for laboratory employees.
Proteon Pharmaceuticals actively supports the fight against coronavirus on the largest possible substantive and organizational scale.
"In order to launch the laboratory, we engaged a large group of experts from the Medical University, but also from the University of Lodz, the Polish Academy of Sciences and the private sector," says Dr. Monika Domarecka, Director of the Central Clinical Hospital. "We have gathered the necessary equipment and a team of people with specialist education, skills and, above all, willingness to work in a difficult situation."
Radzisław Kordek, Rector of the Medical University in Łódź, stated,"The laboratory was established at a very fast pace, because the situation required it from us. These events require real action and organizational efficiency. During the week we completed all formalities and we are ready now. Thank you to everyone who contributed. We have many weeks of hard work ahead of us. We do not exclude the creation of other such laboratories as part of university hospitals."
Dr. Ewelina Wójcik, head of the research team at Proteon Pharmaceuticals, and one of the volunteers at the Coronavirus Detection Center, added: "We are convinced that our knowledge and experience in virus research can effectively support the fight against the epidemic in Poland."
The newly established Coronavirus Detection Center supports existing laboratories in Łódź by collecting samples from infectious hospitals in Łódź and Zgierz. This means that it does not accept samples directly from patients. People who suspect they have a disease are asked to follow the procedures, i.e. stay at home and contact relevant authorities as soon as possible.
About Proteon Pharmaceuticals
Proteon Pharmaceuticals is an innovative Polish biotechnology company and a leader in the field of precise microbiome modulation to improve human and animal health. Proteon has created an advanced bacteriophage technology platform that uses molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence (AI) to create precise and safe bacteriophage-based antibacterial solutions. Bacteriophages (phages for short) are the smallest, most numerous and oldest organisms on the planet. They can be used to fight pathogenic bacteria improving animal and human health. They occur naturally in nature, are present everywhere: on our hands and skin as well as in the intestines of people and animals, and in soil and water. Phages naturally protect animals and humans from bacteria.

DOJ Tipped Clinton to Email Investigation, Leak Shows
Sean Duffy / November 2, 2016
(CN) — An official with the U.S. Justice Department leaked information to Hillary Clinton's campaign about an upcoming congressional investigation of her email server, according to Wikileaks' latest revelations.
In an email to Clinton campaign chief John Podesta on May 19, 2015, Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik tipped the campaign off starting with the subject line "Heads up."
"There is a [House Judiciary Committee] oversight hearing today where the head of our civil division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails," Kadzik wrote.
In the same email, Kadzik also updated Podesta on a Freedom of Information Act case that was ongoing.
"Another filing in the FOIA case went in last night or will go in this a.m. that indicates it will be a while (2016) before the State Department posts the emails," he said.
Kadzik's relationship with Podesta dates back to their time as law students at Georgetown University. In an email revealed in a previous release by Wikileaks, Podesta said of Kadzik, "Fantastic lawyer. Kept me out of jail."
Kadzik is now involved in a new investigation stemming from Clinton's private email servers, this one focusing on top Clinton aide Huma Abedin's emails. Abedin's emails were recovered on the laptop of her estranged husband, former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner, during a separate investigation into Weiner's activities.
In order to address concerns over a potential conflict of interest, Kadzik sent a letter to a handful of congressional leaders on Monday promising that the Justice Department would help the FBI in its probe of Abedin's emails.
"The Department of Justice appreciates the concerns raised in your letter. We assure you that the department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible," Kadzik wrote, according to Politico.
But besides Kadzik's close relationship with Podesta, he has also worked with or for multiple Clinton associates. He worked a lawyer for Marc Rich, a former hedge-fund trader and close friend of the Clintons who was indicted on several counts of tax evasion in 1983.
Rich was pardoned by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office, a controversial move given donations made by Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich, that included a $450,000 donation to Bill Clinton's presidential library foundation and more than $100,000 to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign.
Kadzik has also donated to multiple Clinton campaigns and other pro-Hillary organizations.
Adding to Wednesday's revelations, the Clinton campaign is still dealing with the FBI's release on Monday of heavily redacted files on the Clinton Foundation and Clinton's pardon of Rich.
Other emails released by Wikileaks Wednesday had nothing to do with the Clintons, however. Instead, they showed President Barack Obama's transition team discussing "secure data rooms" for sharing information, which Google helped set up.
"Regarding policy promises, from now on, we'll email out the first drafts when they're done, but we won't email out revisions. The latest version will always be stored in the "general" data room," Obama aide Chris Lu wrote in early September 9, 2008.
Lu also mentioned the security measures the team was using to protect the information.
"The one thing you should know is that contrary to the login instructions, we're not giving out 'transition2008.com' email addresses," he wrote.
"We think that would compromise our ability to keep this whole enterprise under wraps."

Companies failing to file income tax returns will soon face prosecution, with the government making a proposal in this regard in the Union Budget.
The proposal comes at a time when the government has stepped up efforts to clamp down on shell companies and curb illicit fund flows.
"It is proposed to provide that prosecution shall lie against companies for non-filing of return irrespective of the fact that whether any tax is payable or not," according to an annexure in the budget speech by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
As per the budget memorandum, Section 276CC of the Income Tax Act provides that if a person wilfully fails to furnish in due time the return of income which he is required to furnish, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term, as specified therein, with fine.
A sub-clause of the section says that a person shall not be proceeded against for failure to furnish return for any assessment year commencing on or after April 1, 1975, if the tax payable on the total income determined on regular assessment -- as reduced by the advance tax, if any, paid and any tax deducted at source -- does not exceed Rs 3,000.
"In order to prevent abuse of the said proviso by shell companies or by companies holding benami properties, it is proposed to amend the provisions of the said sub-clause so as to provide that the said sub-clause shall not apply in respect of a company.
"This amendment will take effect from April 1, 2018," the memorandum said.
As part of efforts to curb illicit fund flows, the corporate affairs ministry has already started deregistering companies that have not been carrying out business activities for long.
Nearly 2.26 lakh companies have already been deregistered and around 3.09 lakh directors associated with these entities have been disqualified. Besides, the ministry has identified the names of 1.20 lakh more companies to be struck off from the official records for various non-compliances.
There are more than 12 lakh registered companies that are active.
