Cut greenhouse gas emissions 34% by 2020
The CCC's published its first report 'Building a low-carbon economy' to set out the analysis underpinning planned cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and the proposed level of the first three carbon budgets covering the periods 2008-12, 2013-17 and 2018-22
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has urged the Government to commit unilaterally to reducing emissions of all greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the UK by at least 34% in 2020 relative to 1990 levels (21% relative to 2005). This should be increased to 42% relative to 1990 (31% relative to 2005) once a global deal to reduce emissions is achieved.
The CCC says meeting these targets is necessary to contain the threat of climate change. .
The CCC is an independent body established under the Climate Change Act to advise Government on the first legally binding carbon budgets, and to report to Parliament on the progress made in reducing carbon emissions.
RICS comments:
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors welcomed the Committee on Climate Change's inaugural report "Building a low-carbon economy - the UK's contribution to tackling climate change".
Gillian Charlesworth, RICS Director of External Affairs said: "Government is to be congratulated for setting itself one of the toughest carbon targets anywhere in the world. But setting targets is the easy part. Now we all have to deliver them. Buildings are responsible for over half of UK carbon emissions, and potentially the biggest proportion of savings. But they are notoriously difficult to tackle because of the way they are commissioned and operated. Policy must be very carefully designed to decarbonise the sector without damaging the economy.
"The UK has some of the world most innovative climate policies. But the track record on buildings is not good. Too often government doesn't realise that policy has to work with the grain of the market and not against it. Government has to bring the industry with it now. Only together can we get the right mix of regulation, incentives and support in place. Get it right and the market will do most of the work. Get it wrong and we will all be left with the bill."
ESTA comments:
With the announcement of the first 'carbon budgets', the UK has legally binding targets for carbon reduction for the first time. But the Energy Services and Technology Association (ESTA) believes we need to learn the lessons from previous failures to hit carbon and energy efficiency targets, such as the Government's 20% reduction in carbon emissions goal for 2010 and the commitments it made on reducing fuel poverty. ESTA believes that we need to focus on areas where substantial early savings can be made.
Professor Martin Fry, ESTA's chairman said: "Study after study – as well as the experience of countless businesses and public sector organisations – show that carbon savings of up to 20% are typically available through the installation of cost-effective energy efficiency technologies and zero-cost energy management practices. These will also improve profitability, and in the midst of an economic downturn we need to be concentrating on measures that cut costs now and improve efficiency in the longer term."
He added: "We can start to make significant cuts in carbon emissions today for little or no cost. Better management of energy – by business, the public sector and individuals – is good for the economy and the environment. But Government needs to highlight that message loudly and unambiguously."

FIA WORLD
ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP
ABOUT FIA WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP.
A CHALLENGE OF SPEED
—AND INNOVATION.
The current FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) was launched in 2012 and is now entering its fifth year. The WEC series traces its history back to 1953 when the World Championship for Sports Cars was launched, becoming the Endurance Championship in 1981. The current WEC series was born out of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, which was also organized by the ACO and ran for two years from 2010-2011.
The crown jewel of the WEC is inarguably Le Mans, an endurance race steeped in history and tradition. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is going after the championship, as well as focusing on developing cutting edge innovations in hybrid technology.
The competing cars are classified into prototype sports cars and Grand Touring (GT) cars, which compete in four classes—LMP1 and LMP2 for prototype sports cars and LMGTE-Pro and LMGTE-Am for GT cars—and all run together in the same race. In the LMP1 class, the manufacturers must compete with hybrid cars equipped the latest technologies. Under the sporting regulations the drivers are ranked by their experience and achievement in motorsport into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each class has specific requirements on driver lineups.
Le Mans prototype
Le Mans Prototypes are two-seaters with no limit on minimum production numbers required that cantake full advantage of state-of-the-art technology. As the name suggests, they are generally builtespecially for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but also for the WEC, ELMS and USCR (United Sport CarRacing series) races. Le Mans Prototypes are purpose-built for circuit racing, complying with ACOtechnical regulations, and utilizing cutting-edge technology that provides extreme performancelevels, making them the top status of endurance racing. Le Mans Prototypes are divided into twoclasses: LMP1 (usually reserved for manufacturers) and LMP2 (privateer entrants).
p1-hy
Le mans prototype (LMP1-H / LMP1)
This is the very top class of the WEC— the class in which the TOYOTA TS050 HYBRID competes. The regulation for LMP1 has undergone significant change for the 2016 season. It is split into two classes. One is LMP1 (Non Hybrid) for privateer non-hybrids with a minimum weight of 855kg. The other is LMP1-H (Hybrid) for manufacturers' works hybrid-powered cars with Energy Recovery System (ERS) and with a minimum weight of 875kg. Both of them must be closed cockpit, and the maximum width is 1,900mm. Engine capacity is not subject to restrictions; instead, there is limitation on energy consumption and fuel flow. Fuel tanks for petrol engine LMP1 are 67.4 liters, and LMP1-H are 62.5 liters. Fuel tanks for diesel engine LMP1 are 53.7 liters, and LMP1-H are 49.9 liters. No Bronze drivers are permitted to enter in this class.
Le mans prototype 2 (LMP2)
This class is defined as being 'a category especially for privateers' and employs 'cost capping'. They are open or closed cockpit cars of at least 900kg in weight. Only mass-produced engines are allowed, and they are limited to a maximum of 8 cylinders and 5,000cc capacity for normally-aspirated petrol cars, and 6 cylinders and 3,200cc for turbo/supercharged petrol cars. Diesel engines are not allowed. Fuel tanks are 75 liters. One of the drivers must be in Silver or Bronze category.
Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance
Le Mans GT Endurance cars are competition models based on a production sport car with two doors, either 2 or 2+2 seats, and a maximum width of 2,050mm. The class is separated into LMGTE Pro for professional drivers and LMGTE Am for gentleman (amateur) drivers.
Le mans touring endurance pro (LMGTE Pro)
A two-door production GT car with 2 or 2+2 seats, constructed by an ACO-recognized manufacturer. The maximum total length is 4,800mm, and the front and rear overhangs are a maximum of 1,250mm/1,100mm. The total width can be extended up to +100mm, but the total height and wheelbase must be the same as the original model. The minimum weight is 1,245kg, and maximum engine capacity is 5,500cc for NA petrol engines, 4,000cc for turbo/supercharged petrol engines. Fuel tanks are 90 liters.
Le mans touring endurance AM (LMGTE Am)
This class is provided for gentleman drivers, and unlike the LMGTE Pro, the car must be at least one year old or have the same specifications as the car from the previous year. LMGTE Pro has no restrictions on the driver category while in LMGTE Am at least one Bronze and one Bronze or Silver must be included in a crew.
The 2016 WEC season will take place across nine countries this year, with newcomer Mexico taking the fifth round. The Silverstone Circuit (United Kingdom) will open the season in April; while the final race will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit (Bahrain). Race distances are six hours, with the exception of the Le Mans race.

Still or sparkling, Saint-Péray's distinctive white wines take you on a journey.
98 ha of vineyard grow on the gentle slopes leading up to Château de Crussol, a fortress built on a limestone spur, looking out over the Rhône Valley with the same watchful benevolence as the statue of the Virgin Mary. The terroir is diverse, the climate extraordinary, the landscape bold and rugged – all combining to give Saint-Péray's white wines a unique character. 15% of these wines are sparkling, made with the Traditional Method.
Birth of AOC Saint-Péray
In the 15th century, the villagers of Crussol began to venture outside the walls of the castle, eventually settling in the Mialan Valley to plant their vines. In their dialect, the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Ay became Saint-Péray. Saint-Péray wines were already widely known, but now came to be popular with royalty. After the French revolution, however, the village chose a more religiously neutral name for its wine, and for a time the wines were just known as "Péray white". One of the appellation winemakers, Louis-Alexandre Faure, seeing the way Champagne was made, was inspired to try the same method himself, and in 1829 he produced the first Saint- Péray sparkling wine. The wines reached their peak of popularity in the 19th century, when 80% of them were enjoyed throughout Europe. They were served at the tables of the great and good, from the Tsars in Russia to Queen Victoria in England. Even Pope Pius VII sang their praises. In the 8th of December 1936 Saint-Péray officially became a Cru, one of the first 9 wines in France to be awarded AOC status.
The 20th century was a time for restoring the vineyards, necessary after the phylloxera crisis of the late 19th century. The winegrowers and cooperative wineries involved in the restructure concentrated on still wines, and gradually the traders began to return, the number of distributors grew and the popularity of Saint-Péray wines began to rise again.
Located on the right bank of the Rhône, 5 km west of Valence in the Ardèche, the appellation vineyards grow in the commune of Saint-Péray and part of the commune of Toulaud.
Rugged slopes and a deep valley create a relatively cool micro-climate within a region with a much warmer, continental climate.
The Saint Péray terroir shows a remarkably rich geodiversity, with changes accrued over four geological eras. In the Primary, granite from the volcanic magma of the Massif Central brought a distinctive touch of silica; in the Secondary, the Alpine Ocean flooded south-eastern France, exposing the Jurassic limestone of the Mountain of Crussol, which gives the terroir its calcium content. In the Tertiary, the hill at Crussol became an island, surrounded by rising seas. The marine deposits laid down at this time form a major part of the appellation's clay/ limestone soils; and in the glaciations of the Quaternary, fine particles carried in by the winds created layers of loess. And finally, the Rhône added to the diversity of soils by bringing down alluvial deposits from the Alps.

Regarding #2 about marriage. I'm not sure that the explanation given supports the idea that men are behaving less badly. If, as the article says, that social pressure to marry becomes less, I'd guess that the mean would be "bad" in marriage are not getting married in the first place. This is selection bias, not a change in behavior.

I'm not sure why we are focused on the people who are obsessed about getting into an elite college. Most people won't, or would even try to get in regardless of what the rules are. My kids won't.
And cost? Be creative. My 16 year old is home-schooled. Or rather right now he is not. He goes to the local community college. He will spend the last three years of this "high-school" taking 9 to 12 hours a semester. When he is normal college age, he will have 60 hours of credit he will transfer to a major, R1 state school. At that point, we will have spent about 8,000 on tuition and books. Most, if not all, the credits will transfer. He will have a 4.0, or nearly a 4.0. He will get a big fat transfer scholarship and graduate when he is 20.
He will never take the SAT or ACT. He will skip all the high school BS.
And this path is open nearly every person.

Nationwide Search for Local Trades COVID Heroes Begins
Navkiran Mar 16, 2021
Many tradespeople have gone above and beyond the limits to help the community during COVID- 19, the deadliest pandemic.
UK manufacturer and retailer, 'SGS engineering' have launched the 'local hero' awards for the most selfless and helpful tradespeople such as plumbers, builders, electricians, gardeners, and mechanics, etc. In addition, these local trades COVID heroes offered their valuable help to those who were in need during the coronavirus crisis.
'SGS engineering' awarded a cash prize of £1000 and a Kielder Tool Kit worth £500 to the national winner, and cash prizes worth £250 to five regional winners. These winners provided their services to maintain critical infrastructure or for the safety, sanitation, and operations of residences or businesses.
They served across both domestic and commercial environments keeping safety guidelines in mind. Moreover, they followed physical distancing, face-covering, and self-isolation guidelines not only to prevent themselves but also to ensure the safety of their customers.
Ways a tradesman provided extra services
A study of 500 tradespeople revealed that many of them go beyond the people they were working for. Some of the ways a tradesman provided extra services are:
Changed a light bulb
Helped a customer understand how to use their mobile phone/computer
Taken an envelope to the post office
Assembled furniture
Made recommendations on the property's security
Run an errand
Helped to fix a broken-down car
Have taken the customers to the hospital when they've had an accident.
General Manager of SGS Engineering, 'Dave Gordon'told that he has heard a lot of stories about tradespeople who helped their communities. He felt incredibly proud to be part of such a committed and caring industry.
They wanted to recognize those tradespeople who really went out of their way to support people in need in their local areas. That's why they decided to launch the local hero awards.
This award highly motivates the morale and confidence of local trades COVID heroes and others. They are giving their best to serve the customers in this epidemic throughout the UK. Now, the demand for skilled workers has increased in the country.

It's easy to look at drug and alcohol addiction as something "other" people deal with. If you've never struggled with it — and it hasn't been an issue in your social circles — then you probably associate addiction with poverty, unemployment, homelessness and poor life decisions.
But what if someone told you that 70 percent of Americans using illegal drugs are actually employed? Instead of viewing it as a societal problem, it becomes a challenge that you must confront. Are you prepared for that?
Research from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) shows that 70 percent of the estimated 14.8 million Americans using illegal drugs are employed.
If the high rate of substance addiction and abuse in the workplace shocks you, the side effects will surprise you even more. For example, did you know workers with drinking problems are 2.7-times more likely to have an injury-related absence than a worker who doesn't abuse alcohol? Or what about the fact that 35 percent of emergency room patients with occupational injuries are at risk drinkers?
The rates and risks are even higher for drug addicts — and they have a hard time holding down steady jobs. The NCADD points out workers who report holding three or more jobs over a five-year period are twice as likely to be current or past illegal drug users than those who have held two or fewer jobs.
While you may still think addiction and abuse don't happen in a business like yours, it would be foolish to take this stance. Millions of working class Americans — many in white-collar positions — are struggling with substance abuse issues. If you aren't prepared, you may end up getting blindsided.
If you automatically assume drug addiction isn't something your employees struggle with, then you probably aren't looking for signs and symptoms. You need to shift your mindset and recognize this is a problem permeating every socioeconomic class, industry and job title.
Chronic attendance issues. Do you have an employee who always shows up late or consistently misses stretches of days at a time? This is one sign there may be something going on.
Poor performance. When chronic attendance issues are coupled with poor performance, this is an indication the employee's mind isn't on work. Any number of issues could be to blame, but addiction and abuse are possibilities.
Problems with behavior. Everyone has a bad day here and there, but if erratic and unexplained behavior issues become common, it may be worth exploring the possibility of an addiction problem.
Friction in workplace relationships. Healthy workplace relationships are integral to small business success. People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol often find it challenging to maintain healthy relationships with coworkers.
Substance abuse is incredibly sad on an individual level. It's frustrating to watch people repeatedly make horrible decisions hurting themselves and others around them. But from the perspective of an employer, it's just as hard to watch how their poor decisions negatively impact your business.
Between poor work performance, excessive absences and inconsistent hours, high job turnover, lack of productivity, and an increase in workers' comp claims and healthcare benefits, employee addiction can hurt your business in some pretty significant ways.
While it'll certainly cost your business some capital, drug testing and educational programs yield a healthy return on investment for small businesses taking the time to implement them. According to DrugAbuse.com, the proven benefits include things like increased morale, decreased workplace accidents, reduced employee theft, increased productivity, lower employee turnover and decreased cost of insurance and workers' comp claims.
You have to stop enabling employees who could be abusing drugs and alcohol. This means avoid lending money, covering up for an employee's mistakes, making excuses or handing off work to someone else. These may seem like small things — especially when you don't know that substance abuse is involved — but they further compound the problem.
Many addicts have problems in their personal lives and may not get the sort of social support they need. While your role as employer should always remain as professional as possible, you can help your employees by offering addiction recovery support and encouraging them to get treatment.
As a business owner, you have two major responsibilities: increasing profitability and caring for your employees. There are times when these two objectives are in conflict with one another, and other times when they seem to work in tandem. Addiction falls into this latter category.
If your employees are dealing with substance abuse and addiction, it's not just hurting your bottom line. It's hurting the well-being of your employees and inflicting immeasurable pain on their families.
When you're conscious of the fact addiction and abuse is rampant in the American workplace, you can take a more proactive approach and decrease the chances your business and employees will suffer through this terrible issue.

Becamex IDC and Central Retail Vietnam co-develop GO! shopping mall in Binh Duong
게시일 21 5월, 2021
Today, Becamex IDC has inked a deal with Central Retail Vietnam to develop the GO! shopping mall with an investment of $35 million in Ben Cat town of Binh Duong province.
Becamex IDC and Central Retail Vietnam joined forces to develop the GO! shopping mall in Binh Duong
After 20 years of developing industrial infrastructure, Binh Duong has become the most developed industrial province in Vietnam. However, the rapid industrial development has created a significant gap between the manufacturing and retail and service industries in Binh Duong. Thus, the province is looking to close the gap by creating a balanced and sustainable economy in the next phase of development with more emphasis on the retail and service sector.
With the support of Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee, after intensive research, Becamex IDC Corporation and Central Group from Thailand has reached high consensus in the development plan for the GO! shopping mall project at My Phuoc Industrial Park, Ben Cat Town. This is the foundation for the long-term cooperation as well as contributing to the development of the local retail and service sector.
Covering a planning area of three hectares, the GO! shopping mall project is situated in Binh Duong Innovation Region, which is part of the Binh Duong Smart City project (2021-2025). The zone has been planned with a diverse ecosystem featuring many key constructions in place and underway such as Vietnamese-German International University, Thu Dau Mot University, SetiaBecamex Urban Area, as well as electronics and home appliance stores of Toyota, Dien May Xanh, The Gioi Di Dong. It is also home to many large-scale industrial parks such as My Phuoc 1-2-3-4, Bau Bang, and VSIP with several factories in operation.
The GO! Shopping Mall was built at the arterial roads of National Highway 13 and Ring Road 4, providing convenient access to neighbouring localities such as Cu Chi, Tay Ninh, Dong Nai, and the Central Highlands provinces. In the near future, this shopping mall will become the focal point of the community, able to serve more than 300,000 people in the locality and surrounding area.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Pham Ngoc Thuan, general director of Becamex IDC emphasised: "As a pioneer in developing the integrated model of industrial park and urban area, Becamex IDC has gradually established its reputation and become a trusted partner of many domestic investors and ones all around the globe. Today's event of cooperation with a leading Thai cooperation, Central Group, is of great importance, affirming that Becamex IDC's development model has fully converged the necessary conditions, with the core being a comprehensive ecosystem, catering to the diverse needs of all investors."
Langlet Olivier Bernard, general director of Central Retail Vietnam speaking at the signing ceremony
Meanwhile, Langlet Olivier Bernard, general director of Central Retail Vietnam said, "GO! shopping mall construction project at Ben Cat town has a scale of three floors with a planning area of three hectares, and total investment of $35 million. The malll will feature fashion business stores, dining areas, supermarket, and entertainment zones, thereby transforming the facade of the local retail sector and contributing to the economic and social development of Ben Cat Town in particular and Binh Duong province in general."
Binh Duong, one of the dynamic localities in Vietnam, is at the forefront of administrative reform. The authorities and leaders always support and create favourable conditions for investors with the open investment attraction policy. The GO! shopping mall project is being highly appreciated by the locality due to its impact. Hopefully, the project will continue to receive the attention of the local leaders to be implemented on schedule, thereby meeting the expectations of investors and people and creating added value for the whole area.
Pham Ngoc Thuan, general director of Becamex IDC giving a briefing about the partnership
The general director of Becamex IDC stated that Becamex IDC will accompany and give Central Group full support throughout the project development. The successful implementation of the project not only brings pride to two companies but also plays an important role in improving the life quality of local residents and ones in the region.
"With the aim of delivering the best shopping experience to people with high-quality services, Becamex IDC will enable Central Group to continue their research and investment in diverse retail models in other localities as well, where Becamex IDC is operating. We hope that Becamex IDC and Central Group can fully capitalise on each other's potential," he noted.

The Need for Public Authority
Modern Age 24:1 (Winter 1980); reprinted in Freedom and Virtue: The Conservative and Libertarian Debate, George W. Carey, ed. (Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1984; reprinted, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2004).
Some ten years ago, I resigned from Cornel1 University; at that time the university had just been taken over by students carrying guns, and first the administration and then the faculty collapsed into separate but equally ignominious heaps. My resignation then gained me some fleeting fame, which, I suspect led to the invitation to address the Philadelphia Society. At this national meeting of 1969 a speaker expressed his concern that certain elements of civility seemed to be disappearing from American society, and he called for government action designed to restore them, or strengthen them. For ex- ample, if I remember correctly, he favored such programs as school prayers, and public aid to religious education, and the enforcement of the laws against obscenity. another speaker gave a paper that might have been entitled, but was not, "the withering away of the state." Its thesis, I recall, was that government was unnecessary, except to provide a defense against international marauders; he promised to return the next year with a paper demonstrating that this defense role, too, could be better performed by private police forces, or armies. Whether he came back to deliver that paper, I do not know.

China changes every day. Sleepy villages transform into bustling suburbs, young hopefuls shoot to stardom online, and factories sprawl across former farmland while the farmers themselves face an uncertain future. As millions prosper, others find themselves stranded for the moment by the shifting tides of change.
The shock and thrill of the new is everywhere: new ideas, new brands, new stars, new words. Every hour sees a story break somewhere in this vast nation, whether from a corporate headquarters in Beijing or a mountain hamlet in Yunnan.
The English-language Global Times is your key to understanding China's changes. Founded in April 2009, the paper is one of the most dynamic players among Chinese media, and has rapidly become the major English newspaper in the nation.
The Chinese public is not satisfied with old orthodoxies and stale stories, and neither is the Global Times. It provides in-depth coverage of controversial stories, from child AIDS victims to urban renewal, forced demolition and the fight against corruption. Its opinion pages feature heated debate over tough issues such as China's use of the death penalty, the challenges of forming a new international order, and the nation's growing wealth gap.
The newspaper has become essential reading for every China-watcher. Jorge Guajardo, the Mexican Ambassador to China, describes the Global Times as "a must read for anyone wanting to understand China."
A measure of the Global Times' success is the attention it has drawn from international press. Foreign media view the Global Times as a trustworthy source. The Economist calls it a "remarkable innovation," which addresses "realms once thought taboo." The Wall Street Journal praises its "insightful stories."
The Global Times' readers, both foreign and Chinese, include ambassadors, business leaders, politicians, and intellectuals. China's top universities use the newspaper as a teaching tool for the nation's future elite.
The Global Times' unique partnership with the Global Poll Center keeps its finger on the pulse of the Chinese public, while an expanding online presence makes its unique insights even more accessible to a global audience.
Beijing and Shanghai are joining the list of the world's greatest cities. That is why the Global Times has 8-page daily supplements for each, keeping its readers up-to-date with what is happening in China's two most exciting mega-cities.

Comic impressionist Rich Natole takes over afternoon slot at Harmon Theater
June 8, 5:03 PM - Jackie Brett
Comic impressionist Rich Natole has opened his one-man afternoon show "Voices of a Generation" at the Harmon Theater at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. Knowingly, he opens his show with an informative video that in a fun way promotes the fact that nobody knows who he is. The video even shows a coffin and the off-stage voice says, "Well at least there were bodies in the room." Then on screen fellow comedian Louie Anderson encourages the fact that Natole is a well-seasoned colleague.
Comfortable with the fact nobody knows who he is, even though he has worked corporate gigs, retirement communities and thousands of shows in every possible venue, he makes light of his "non-identity." Jumping right into action, he takes the stage and gives his thought-provoking list of the10 shortest books such as "The Amish Phone Book" to set a fun-loving tone.
Natole excels at putting his famous character voices into interesting situations. He has all the presidents since Kennedy do verses of the "National Anthem" and recasts "The Wizard of Oz" with such personalities as Regis Philbin playing the wizard and Mike Tyson personifying Dorothy. You get the picture. He also uses a lot of props to accentuate comedic routines.
A competition between two audience members gets everyone involved with a game of "Name That Voice." In all, Natole will blaze through as many as 85 impressions from his 300-voice repertoire and change things up daily in his 70-minute show.
Natole has a quick wit and a likeable personality. Most of his material is fresh and if an older joke surfaces, his timing makes it refreshing.
Tickets for Natole´s 2 p.m. daily shows are $29.95 plus fees and taxes and $39.95 for VIP, call 702-836-0836.

It was not long after Canada entered formally into international copyright relations in 1924 that a conference was called to revise the Berne Convention, and Canadian diplomats for the first time represented their country at the Berne Union directly. Throughout the proceedings, it became apparent that Canada held common interests with other countries like Australia and New Zealand on issues such as broadcasting and performance rights. However, Canadian delegates did not take a prominent position on these issues; their instructions held them to playing only a minor and uncontroversial role. Against the backdrop of Canada's changing relationship with Britain and the United States in the 1920s and 30s, this chapter outlines the new role of Canada in international copyright relations in the 1920s.

support act - The I-94 Bar
A Festival of Sue tickets go on sale
Tickets for The Festival of Sue, the tribute to late Sydney music booker Sue Telfer, are now on sale here.
X, the New Christs, The Johnnys, Kim Salmon, Front End Loader, The Mis-Made, Penny Ikinger, The Holy Soul and The On and Ons have been announced in the first wave of bands on the bill.
Proceeds from the October 20 show - featuring a dozen bands over two stages at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney - will go to Support Act, the charity for music industry members who have fallen on hard times.
It's a dazzling line-up with more names to be added and will run from 2-10pm. It will sell-out so don;t delay.
Sydney music champion Sue Telfer to be celebrated by all-star line-up
Friends of Sydney music scene legend Sue Telfer have banded together to assemble a line-up of bands to pay tribute to this much-loved lady at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville on Sunday, October 20. Over eight hours and two stages, a line-up that includes X, the New Christs, The Johnnys, Kim Salmon, Front End Loader will crank up the volume for Sue.
Sydney's live scene suffered a monumental blow in June when long-time administrator, venue booker, confidante and den mother to countless bands, Sue Telfer, passed away suddenly at her Sydney home.
Sue grew up in in the halcyon days of Sydney's inner-city scene of the 1980s. A employee of musicians' rights organisation APRA-AMCOS for 32 years, Sue was around Surry Hills' vibrant music pubs and clubs for even longer, most notably as the long-time booker for its legendary Excelsior Hotel.


Luton Van tail lifts are mechanical devices permanently installed on the rear of a 3.5T Luton Box Van and designed to enable easy management of goods from surface level or a loading dock to the level of the vehicle entrypoint and vice versa.
Most Luton Van tail lifts are hydraulic or pneumatically driven and are operated by using an remote control switch.
UK manufacturers of tail-lifts include leading companies such as Palfinger, Dhollandia, Del, Anteo & Zepro.
Dealers/Installers of Luton Van tail-lifts include UK companies such as Marshalls, a leading Tail Lift Installation & Servicing business.
Many tail-lifts for Luton Vans can be tailor-made and are relatively straightforward for a bodybuilder or installation engineer to install as the Tail-lifts come pre-wired.
At the time of writing the cost of a 500kg capacity tail-lift fully installed for a typical Luton 3.5T van would be approximately £1250.00 ex VAT.

Remarks by President Trump Before Air Force One Departure
Issued on: August 4, 2019
Morristown Municipal Airport
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. I want to extend our condolences to the people of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. They're incredible people and they've been through a lot.
I just want to also thank the law enforcement in both places. The job they've done is incredible. I also want to congratulate them. I mean, nobody could have done what they've done. This could have been — as bad as it was, it could have been so much worse.
I just have to thank them. The job they've done is incredible. And they were right on the ball in El Paso; they were there so quickly. And, in Dayton, in less than a minute — think of the damage he did in just a short period of time — in less than a minute, the law enforcement acted and killed him. And it would have been unbelievable. It was — it would have been — it was horrible, but it would have been so much worse. It could have been so much worse.
I just want to say that these are two incredible places. We love the people. Hate has no place in our country. And we're going to take care of it.
I spoke with Attorney General Bill Barr at length; I spoke to Christopher Wray, Director of the FBI; I spoke to the governors — both governors — and we're doing a lot of work. A lot of people are working right now — a lot of law enforcement people and others. I spoke to members of Congress about whatever we can do and a lot of — a lot of things are being done right now, as we speak.
I'll be making a statement tomorrow sometime. But just on behalf of our First Lady and myself, condolences to all. We have to get it stopped. This has been going on for years — for years and years — in our country. And we have to get it stopped.
So thank you very much. And I will be making a statement tomorrow at about 10 o'clock. And I'll see you there. Thank you all very much.
Q What are you going to do about the problem of automatic and semiauto- —
THE PRESIDENT: You have to talk up.
Q The gun problem. What are you going to do about it? What — how are you going to address it?
THE PRESIDENT: We're talking to a lot of people, and a lot of things are in the works, and a lot of good things. And we have done much more than most administrations. And it does — it's not — really not talked about very much, but we've done, actually, a lot. But perhaps more has to be done.
But this is also a mental illness problem. If you look at both of these cases, this is mental illness. These are peop- — really, people that are very, very seriously mentally ill. So a lot of things are happening. A lot of things are happening right now.
And I will see you tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Thank you.

S ADDRESS AT 45TH SESSION OF THE INDIAN LABOUR CONFERENCE
Following is the text of the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh's address at the 45th session of the Indian Labour Conference in New Delhi:
"Let me begin by emphasizing that this is a very important conference that deliberates issues of critical importance to our workers and industry, and therefore to our economy and society at large. I feel happy that as Prime Minister I have participated in all Sessions of the Indian Labour Conference that have taken place since 2005, except the one in 2009 which I could not attend due to ill-health. As you begin proceedings in this 45th Session of the Conference, I compliment you on your past achievements and extend my best wishes for your efforts in the future. It is also my hope that this Session will build further upon the rich legacy of the earlier Sessions.
Before I proceed further, let me also state that our Government has paid very serious attention to the issues that Trade Unions have raised from time to time. The recent two-day strike by Trade Unions focused on a number of issues relating to the welfare not only of the working-classes but also the people at large. These include demands on which there can be no disagreement. For example, demands for concrete measures for containing inflation, for generation of employment opportunities, for strict implementation of labour laws, are unexceptionable. There can however be differences on the best ways of fulfilling these demands and we are willing to engage constructively with the Trade Unions in this regard.
Some other demands raised by the Trade Unions are already under an advanced stage of consideration by the Government. These include issues like universal social security cover for workers in both the organized and unorganized sectors and creation of a National Social Security Fund, fixing a National Floor Level Minimum Wage and provision of minimum pension of Rs. 1000 per month under the Employees' Pension Scheme. In fact, the Cabinet has already approved amendments to the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 to provide for a statutory National Floor Level Minimum Wage.
The third set of demands relates to issues on which further dialogue with Trade Union leaders appears necessary, including tripartite discussions. We have set up a Group of Ministers under the Finance Minister to go into the whole gamut of demands raised by the Trade Unions and I am confident that soon you will see some forward movement on these demands.
I believe that many of the demands of the Trade Unions reflect the concern that our growth and progress should be inclusive and should particularly benefit the under-privileged sections of our society. This is a concern that has been very dear to our Government. We believe that providing our people with productive employment opportunities is the best way of achieving this objective.
According to some available data, we created 20 million additional job opportunities during the period 2004-05 and 2009-10. The unemployment rate came down from 8.3% to 6.6% during the same period. This period suffered from one of the worst global meltdowns in history and most of the countries, developed and developing, have registered increases in their unemployment rates while we were still able to create additional jobs. Employment in the organized sector registered a growth of more than 9% from 26.5 million in 2005 to 29 million in 2011. It is heartening to note that women employed in the organized sector have also registered a growth of about 19% during the same period.
Our Government has also made serious efforts in implementing various employment generation programmes such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), National Rural Livelihood Mission, Swarnajayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojna and Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme. There has been an increase in allocations of these schemes over the years which have provided employment opportunities to a large number of men and women, particularly persons belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. MGNREGA has been particularly helpful in reducing inter-State migration of labour, eliminating bonded labour and raising the purchasing power of the rural households. Women participation under the scheme has been more than 48%. It is also heartening to note that rural women are increasingly going for self-employment opportunities in ever increasing numbers. Out of a total of 44.32 lakh Self-Help Groups in our country, 30.21 lakh are exclusively for women which accounts for more than 68%. We propose to continue this effort in future as well.
Clearly, skill development is crucial to our efforts for providing decent employment opportunities to our large and growing young population. A skilled workforce is also a pre-requisite for the achievement of our objective of rapid and inclusive growth. Therefore, we have laid special emphasis on skill development.
Our aim is to skill 5 crore people by the end of the 12th Five Year Plan. This will not only help in generating good quality employment but will also provide Industry with the skilled workforce they need to expand and modernize their operations. During the last five years, the number of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in the country has doubled from about 5000 to about 10000. About 1700 Government ITIs have been modernized. Another 3000 ITIs, 5000 Skill Development Centres and 27 Advanced Training Institutes are proposed to be set up during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). The Modular Employable Skills (MES) programme of the Ministry of Labour & Employment provides short duration courses to prospective trainees using both Government and private infrastructure. It is an attempt towards increasing employment in the unorganized sector at a rapid pace.
In order to achieve our ambitious targets, the skilling efforts of both the Central and the State Governments need to be supplemented by the private sector. Furthermore, skills need to be closely matched with emerging job requirements. This calls for setting up of national standards for skill formation benchmarked to global standards, development of appropriate curriculum design for specific skills and formation of new assessment and certifying bodies besides strengthening the existing ones.
The National Skill Development Corporation has been established for promoting private sector efforts in the area of skill development. In addition, the Government has recently taken the decision to set up the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) to anchor and operationalize the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) which should play a vital role in transforming the quality of training in our country. The NSDA will also endeavor to bridge the social, regional, gender and economic divides in processes of skill development.
I have no doubt that with active participation of the industry, the Trade Unions and the Government, we will be able to achieve more effective outcomes in improving the employability of our youth and thus pave the way for generating decent employment opportunities for them commensurate with their rising aspirations. This is the task to which I commit our country.
Ever since the UPA Government came to power in 2004, we have endeavoured to work for the welfare of workers. When I look back at what I had said when I addressed the 40th Session of this Conference in 2005, I feel a sense of satisfaction that we have delivered substantially on the promises we had made at that time. I had at that time spoken about the need for a new deal to the working people, the need for ensuring the welfare and well being of all workers, particularly those in the unorganized sector, and the legislation that was under consideration in this regard. I am happy that we have achieved good results in these areas, though I would be the first one to recognize that there is much that still needs to be done.
We launched the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) in 2008 to provide for smart card based hospitalization facilities for workers in the unorganized sector. We have been expanding the reach of the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) to cover larger numbers of workers in the informal sector. Under this scheme, 3.41 crore smart cards have been issued so far. The RSBY now covers additional categories of workers including construction workers, street vendors, domestic workers and even beneficiaries of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme.
Our Government enacted the Unorganized Workers Social Security Act, 2008 for the benefit of the workers in the informal sector.
We have increased the eligibility limit under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 from Rs 3500 per month to Rs 10000 per month. The medical bonus payable under the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961 has also been enhanced. We have also enhanced the period of unemployment allowance to retrenched workers from 6 months to 1 year under the Rajiv Gandhi Shramik Kalyan Yojana.
The National Policy on Safety, Health and Environment and the National Policy on HIV and AIDS in the World of Work were put in place in the year 2009.
We have taken proactive steps for elimination of child labour. Our Government has taken a decision to amend the Child Labour Prohibition & Regulation Act, 1986 to ban all child labour below 14 years to enable our children to exercise their right to education. I am happy that the number of children working as labourers in our country has decreased by 45% from 90.75 lakh in 2004-05 to 49.84 lakh in year 2009-10. We now need to ensure that this is brought down further.
A number of Bills have been introduced for amending Acts such as the Labour Laws (Exemption from Furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by Certain Establishments) Act, 1988, the Mines Act, 1952 and the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979. Besides, a number of amendments in labour laws are at various stages of consideration.
The Employees` State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Act was amended in the year 2010 to cover factories employing 10 or more workers, instead of the earlier threshold of 20. The wage ceiling for coverage of employees has been enhanced from Rupees 10,000 to Rs.15,000 per month. The number of establishments covered has increased to 5.80 lakh till the end of 2011-12 from 3.94 lakh in year 2008-09. Twenty seven ESIC hospitals are being modernized and four have already been upgraded. Five new ESIC hospitals were commissioned in 2011-12. Insured persons are now being issued Smart Cards and super specialty treatment facilities have been extended to them. The ESIC organization has undertaken a massive computerization project for more effective delivery of benefits to the insured persons.
Modernization initiatives in the Employees Provident Fund Organization have resulted in 25% increase in the settlement of claims as compared to the previous year. The Status of all Provident Fund Accounts is now available online along with SMS alerts for important account information. Payment is now possible through National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT).
There are certain vulnerable groups of workers that need our special attention. I would urge this Conference to focus particularly on the well being and welfare of migrant workers, domestic workers and those working in unsafe conditions. These groups not only need special legislative support but also a more effective implementation of the existing laws that have been made for their protection and wellbeing. We need to bring in the best international practices for bringing about improvements in their working conditions.
The Government of India, Industry, Trade Unions and State Governments need to work in partnership to strengthen our society, our economy and our country. I would like to take today`s opportunity to reaffirm our Government`s firm commitment to building such a partnership. We are all aware that our economy is going through difficult circumstances and our growth is not what we would like it to be. Even as the Government works for reversing this situation and I am confident, we can do so and we will do it, we need the cooperation of both Captains of Industry and our Trade Unions. In the recent months we have taken a number of steps to boost investment, encourage enterprise and improve business sentiment. We have paid special attention to the need for removing bottlenecks that hamper new industrial activity. I would urge you all Captains of Industry and Trade Union leaders to help us in making a success of these efforts. I wish your deliberations all success."

Q: MySQL show count of 0 for dates with no records I'm trying to get the COUNT of all users attempts by a list of the current week (last 7 days)
This query works but doesnt return 0 if the day not exist:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS attempt_count,
    DATE_FORMAT(attempt_date,'%Y/%m/%d') AS attempt_date
FROM users_attempts
WHERE DATE_SUB(attempt_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY) > DATE_SUB(DATE(NOW()), INTERVAL 1 WEEK)
GROUP BY DAY(attempt_date) DESC;

This query return the COUNT of all attempts of the last current week per day, i got this (I only have 1 record):
attempt_count | attempt_date
1               2014/06/19

I want this result:
attempt_count | attempt_date
1               2014/06/19
0               2014/06/18
0               2014/06/17
0               2014/06/16
0               2014/06/15
0               2014/06/14
0               2014/06/13

Many thanks
DEMO: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/b58bb/1/0

A: Ok from my previous answer from the thread MySql Single Table, Select last 7 days and include empty rows
Here what you can do for making the date selection dynamic
select
t1.attempt_date,
coalesce(SUM(t1.attempt_count+t2.attempt_count), 0) AS attempt_count
from
(
  select DATE_FORMAT(a.Date,'%Y/%m/%d') as attempt_date,
  '0' as  attempt_count
  from (
    select curdate() - INTERVAL (a.a + (10 * b.a) + (100 * c.a)) DAY as Date
    from (select 0 as a union all select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9) as a
    cross join (select 0 as a union all select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9) as b
    cross join (select 0 as a union all select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9) as c
  ) a
  where a.Date BETWEEN NOW() - INTERVAL 7 DAY AND NOW()
)t1
left join
(
  SELECT DATE_FORMAT(attempt_date,'%Y/%m/%d') AS attempt_date,
  COUNT(*) AS attempt_count
  FROM users_attempts
  WHERE DATE_SUB(attempt_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY) > DATE_SUB(DATE(NOW()), INTERVAL 1 WEEK)
  GROUP BY DAY(attempt_date) DESC
)t2
on t2.attempt_date = t1.attempt_date
group by DAY(t1.attempt_date)
order by t1.attempt_date desc;

DEMO

A: Create a calendar table or you could try:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS attempt_count,
       DATE_FORMAT(ca_date,'%Y/%m/%d') AS attempt_date
FROM
  (SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/19', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/18', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/17', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/16', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/15', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/14', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date
   UNION ALL SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2014/06/13', '%Y/%m/%d') ca_date) AS calendar
LEFT JOIN users_attempts ON users_attempts.attempt_date = calendar.ca_date
GROUP BY calendar.ca_date
ORDER BY calendar.ca_date DESC;

Backyard Camp out and Owl Prowl at Rend Lake Visitor Center
All are welcome at the Backyard Camp out and Owl Prowl
By Steve Pobst | July 5, 2018 at 2:19 PM CDT - Updated August 23 at 5:07 PM
(KFVS) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake will be hosting its annual Backyard Campout and Owl Prowl on July 7.
The event will take place at the Rend Lake Visitor Center from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
This year the evening will begin with Camo the Clown, Southern Illinois' favorite conservation clown.
Camo will inspire young audiences to explore the wonders of nature with the "Outdoor Adventure Show!"
Download the KFVS News app: iPhone | Android
The show begins at 7 p.m. with colorful stories, props, wild theatrics, and even live animals!
Following Camo's show, at 7:30 p.m. Rend Lake Park Rangers will take the audience outside for backyard campout fun!
Enjoy the campfire and backyard games, meet the Visitor Center's resident spider, learn about creatures of the night, create crafts, and more!
When the sun begins to set, learn how you can join the secret "Spider Sniff Society," as we test our senses and search for spiders in the garden.
When the sun completely sets, Park Rangers will conclude the evening programming with a walk through the woods for an "Owl Prowl" to listen to the calls of owls.
This program is an outside adventure so it is recommended that you bring lawn chairs, insect repellant, and a flashlight.
Then join us Saturday, July 14 from 7:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. for "Night Skies" with Rend Lake College Astronomy Instructor, Greg Hollmann.
Learn about the constellations that embellish the vast night skies through the view of a high-powered telescope!
Mr. Hollmann will also share the latest space news.
For more information on the Environmental Science Series programs presented at the Rend Lake Visitor Center call the Rend Lake Project Office at 618-724-2493.
Also "like" their Facebook page at facebook.com/rendlakeusace to keep updated on what's going on at Rend Lake.

Home Music Bands Top 12 Acts To See At Bestival 2016… so far
Top 12 Acts To See At Bestival 2016… so far
Harley Cassidy
The Bestival line-up gets us so god-damn excited every single year that it would be almost rude not to compile a fresh list of all the great acts to catch for this year's, The Future Is Here themed she-bang. Excluding the headliners, Harley Cassidy chose 12 of the best live bands and artists to see this year… so far.
Animal Collective:
The sonic son's of Baltimore have paved a weird, windy path of adventurous psychedelia since 2003 and after a short stint away from the studio, their collective transcendental power has saw them throw all things magical into a melting pot, pop out a new album and take on yet another brand new form of life.
Black Honey:
A British band who look like something out of a 90s, desert-set Tarantino film, Black Honey have been giving indie a good name following relentless touring, an insatiable, raw energy complemented by a somewhat rose-tinted sophistication. Unmissable.
Hinds:
Hinds are a Spanish four-piece from Madrid whose fun lo-fi garage pop have made them the girl band everyone wants to join. They've played shows with The Strokes and The Libertines (no biggie), have an untouchable youthful energy and their debut album, Leave Me Alone is brimming with charm and the catchiest of choruses.
Jagwar Ma:
Not your typical run of the mill psych band, Jagwar Ma's heady, dance-influenced sound has been heralded as Madchester 2.0 with a wondrous mix of baggy, groove and soul. A duo from the ever-blossoming gene-pool of Australia, their return to Bestival after three years will be joyous.
From teenage punk activist to Spice Girl's inspired alt-pop to mega, chart-topping, multi-million selling collaborations, MO's ascent has evaded every nook and cranny and made her all the more interesting for it. A Danish native, MO's star may have shone brighter thanks to her Diplo collab, Lean On, but her real talent lies in her amazingly energetic live shows proving she's still a rebel at heart.
Ride:
Following their reunion two years ago, shoegaze stalwarts Ride's renewed popularity shows no sign of waning as they bring their distortion fuelled blend of droning psychedelia to Robin Hill Park.
Skepta:
The cocksure ringleader of grime music's newly re-ignited fire, Skepta has been unfathomably important on the British urban music scene, turning his back on designer-label wearing posing and instead creating a template for working-class youth, using social commentary to poke fun at himself, the government and anyone in general. After catching the attention of Drake and Kanye West, expect the unexpected.
Spring King:
Mancunian garage rockers Spring King have many accolades under their belt; amongst them are the fact that they were the first band to be played on Apple Beats 1, they have a sax solo in one of their songs and they converted their bathroom into something much more useful… a recording studio.
Sunflower Bean:
Brooklyn's brightest young things come in the form of a trio fronted by Saint Laurent favourite Julia Cummings who deal in dreamy, lo-fi angst painted by the melodic trauma of being young and wondering what the fuck life is all about.
VANT:
They've been signed to Parlophone Records and have cited their philosophy to be inspired by The Clash, so you already know you're in for a treat. Fronted by Mattie Vant, VANT's main mission is to tackle our concept of a radical band in 2016 and they do it with aplomb.
Wolf Alice:
A band as versatile as they are dynamic, Wolf Alice have been indie music's biggest breakthrough, steadily building their fanbase and releasing blindingly good single after single since their formation in 2012. A more refined take on 90s grunge, riot-grrl, britpop and everything in between, the four-piece are mesmerising live.
The Wytches:
If you like dark, tortured psychedelia then look no further than Brightonian three-piece, The Wytches. After the success of their brilliant debut, Annabel Dream Reader, the band's raw vocals and surf-doom riffs look set to expand and excite for 2016.
Keep an eye out for the second part to our three-piece Top 12 Acts To See At Bestival feature!
