An exploration through metaphors of good and bad business judgement, planning and business development. This level is ideal for business consultants, managers and individuals seeking their own business development.
This work is not a business manual nor guidebook of a proven 7-step system of whatever that guarantees financial success and freedom. This is not some type of positive thinking, Law of Attraction feel-good nonsense.
This video-based program develops the idea that began in Level 1 and 2 of Metaphors of Movement training, which was then expanded in Level 3. Metaphors of Business and Money finds an application for this idea in the world of work.
Inside this program, you will learn the nuances of different business metaphors and how to apply these to your own thinking and planning.
You will also learn why Pete is swimming to a lighthouse, whilst Mark is dangling by puppet strings, as Adele declares how she really feels about Andrew T. Austin.
If you are a coach, alphabet therapist (IEMT, NLP, EMDR, TFT, EFT, ABC, XYZ) or entrepreneur, this program will open up the world of business metaphors that surround us each and every day. You will also discover why if you want to be truly wise in the world of business and coaching, it is a really good idea to make a study of the Bible.
It's not necessarily what you think it is.
Described by Eric Robbie as an "unbridled auteur", Andrew T. Austin has been compared to a number of people, most of whom he would prefer not to mention in public.
The developer of Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Metaphors of Movement (MoM), Austin's work is heavily influenced by the work of Gregory Bateson, R.D Laing and Charles Faulkner.
He lives by the sea in Rustington with his wife Laura and the collective menagerie of rescued animals, including a 17-year-old seagull called Stumpy.

This was a relatively short project taking about 10 hours to complete. I created it mainly to develop my physics simulation skills. An air hockey game is unforgiving of inaccurate physics, and is a decent way to test a good few physics situations.
It uses a realtime physics system to simulate any number of pucks on a table. Euler integration is used to ensure that the pucks and flippers respond in a realistic fastion.
Elastic collisions are used for puck-to-puck and puck-to-flipper collisions. The collision time is found to a high precision by subdividing the timestep if a collision has been detected. This means that precision is maintained along with a high performance.
To prevent energy explosions and for a sustained realistic motion, a small amount of friction is applied to the pucks that are in motion.
Look at the video below to see the game in action.

This very positive review appeared on Kevin Gilvear's blog. Thanks Kevin!
From The Labour of the Karkos Kode to the Labour of the Infernal Survey, Windy must complete 12 impossible tasks to save the livelihood of his old friend, the fisherman Harry Excess. As his adventures grow more fantastical and dream-like, Windy begins to suspect a darker agency at work behind the wishes of the 12 mysterious millionaires who commissioned this work.
This story took me about 16 months from conception to completion. The only Windy story of comparable length is The Saga Of The Scroll, but that arrived as a series of six-page chapters, in very episodic form, with long breaks in between. Conversely, Labours was planned as a single thought-through story.
Windy undergoes his usual transformations, his flights, his travels in time and space, his entering into dream worlds, his changes of costume, and meets with characters both real and imaginary. His adventures bring him into contact with a number of modern evils and catastrophes, including sea pollution, exploitative land-grabs, and unwelcome developments in technology and the Internet.
While the story can be read as a not-very-deep commentary on the shortcomings of modern capitalism, there's also an occult-ish and esoteric dimension involving strange letters being used for nefarious purposes, thus inverting the purity of the printed page and the book, precepts which Windy must live by. Further, there's the suggestion that mankind's proclivity towards evil is just one step away from making a pact with Dark Forces which we don't understand and whose power we cannot control. There is a price to be paid for this, as the story shows.
Meanwhile, Windy and Harry's natural qualities of charity, generosity, compassion and helpfulness are shown to be very much at odds with the way of the world; Windy is hopelessly out of date, misunderstood and ignored by everyone, and Harry's altruistic dream of putting fish in the mouths of man is all but ruined. These two would-be saints are in a precarious position. Will they survive?
Drake Ullingsworth, the psychic detective with the talking dog, is one of Ed Pinsent's oldest characters, originally invented in 1983.
This all-new story takes a wry look at the modern world encroaching on Drake, who now feels himself to be an old relic and out of step with society. He is beaten up and taunted by young people in society and alienated from the joys of shopping. Despite this, the forces of monopoly capitalism embrace Drake as one of their own, and he's recruited by the mysterious King Shop to serve time in the Iron Mall, a new shopping development. Simultaneously the agencies of the underworld, as epitomised by streetwise kid "Mor", drag Drake into their subterranean world, eventually transforming him into a flying demon. Drake's Dog, aloof from all of the action, observes life from the safety of his lair in the cloud.
This story's got everything…violence, urban decay, flying devils, mobs running riot in the streets, supernatural dark forces, an overpowering television presence in the sky, and ubiquitous mobile phones. Only Drake can see what's really going on, or so he thinks. Here we see the sense of doubt.
A taste from WINDY WILBERFORCE MEETS SUN RA – due to be published September 2015.
Out today! A new Primitif Story, written and drawn summer 2014!
The artwork is all full colour. It was produced through a labour-intensive method – the gouache colour painting, the ink outline and the lettering all exist as separate artworks, assembled in the computer.
I think the last Primitif story I did was Sting of the Arrow, which was published in the Kingly Books volume in 2006. The text for Sting was deliberately very sparse and the story that emerged was broken and hard to understand. I've tried to reverse that trend with Revenge Mask, and have made the accompanying prose about as clear as I'm able to write it. The theme is a supernatural one; Primitif is "possessed" by a magical mask against his own will.
I was going to make it available as a free PDF but then decided to publish it as a square-shaped mini-comic through Lulu. It's 20pp long and costs £6.00 (plus postage). I am making a profit of precisely 88 pence per sale. A sample page is below.


In my review of last week's season premiere of The Blacklist, I mentioned that I believed that by the end of this week, Reddington and Keen would be back in the good graces of Ressler and the task force they used to be a part of. Thankfully "Marvin Gerard" proves me wrong, and instead The Blacklist seems headed in an exciting new direction, and it appears that it's trying to escape the crime-of-the-week pattern and, therefore, the problematic issues of the past.
"Marvin Gerard" sure seems like it's going to start off by reuniting Reddington, Keen and Ressler, then takes a sharp turn away from what it sets up. After running to the Russian embassy for diplomatic immunity after pretending to be a spy, Keen is headed to Moscow for briefing and defection. What she is unaware of is that once Keen gets on the plane, she will be killed, so of course Reddington has to save her from this. "Marvin Gerard" then becomes a much more interesting hostage scenario and escape from the United States.
What makes "Marvin Gerard" one of the better episodes of The Blacklist is a paring down of the story. Instead of focusing on cabals and fulcrums and all sorts of other ridiculousness, "Marvin Gerard" is as simple as Keen and Reddington trying to get out of a hostage situation they've created for themselves, and off of U.S. soil. There are barely any B-plots here and it feels like that's how it always should be.
The most interesting aspect of The Blacklist has always been the relationship between Keen and Reddington and what exactly it means. "Marvin Gerard" seems like a pushing off into the direction where this relationship becomes the core of the show and that's a very smart move. About ninety percent of The Blacklist plots are about some crime that will likely never matter again, with about ten percent dedicated to tiny moments between Keen and Reddington. Those numbers should be completely flipped. "Marvin Gerard" does that and once again, it's what this show should be.
The past two seasons have been all about if Keen can trust Reddington and after their escape together, hopefully this constant questioning can finally be put to rest. What we need at this moment is for Keen and Reddington's relationship to grow stronger so that the answers that have been dangled in front of us can finally come naturally. When Reddington tells Keen in the middle of an unknown ocean that she is his way home, it looks like there's finally an understanding and love between these two, and hopefully a step towards these answers.
The focus on this relationship gives us a more three-dimensional view of Reddington, filled with the possibility of danger and a deep love for Keen. When Reddington takes a diner hostage, it's clear to Ressler and the audience that Keen won't injure any of their captives, but Reddington—well that's another story. Reddington is at his best when he's unpredictable. We know that he has his heart in the right place, yet he very well might put the lives of others at risk for a greater good or for the ones he loves. So when Reddington says he'll kill people if they don't bring him his lawyer and a transport to an airway, there's a very real possibility that he's going to start shooting.
Thankfully the eponymous Marvin Gerard isn't just another way to waste time, but actually becomes a major player in whatever Reddington's next move is. Gerard, played by Fisher Stevens, is Reddington's attorney, a shadow council to the criminal underworld. Like Reddington, he has a sympathetic side, since his incarceration was a result of him trying to kidnap his son from his abusive ex-wife. As is hinted, Gerard and Reddington have a plan in which everything will have to go right to get them out of this situation. Surely, it'll all go as planned, but the journey there at this point at least seems like the most exciting The Blacklist has been in awhile.
Even though "Marvin Gerard" does give us Keen and Reddington escaping with Gerard to an unknown location, two small segments near the end hint at reasons why these renegades will return. First, Mr. Solomon is now torturing Dembe by beating him with a sock full of billiard balls. While this Dembe/Solomon plot is dark and has potential, it is quite strange that Dembe hasn't been by Reddington's side for once and that Reddington doesn't at least question where his constant companion has been all this time. Secondly we have, once again, the return of Tom. Sometimes the whole Tom situation works, but most of the time it feels like The Blacklist is not quite ready to leave its past and remind how this show began. We don't really need Tom at this point and his repeated returns as an end-of-the-episode surprise happens so frequently, it's almost expected at this point.
"Marvin Gerard" gives the impression that The Blacklist is sailing in a new direction, one where the overcomplicating of the past and the weekly crimes aren't nearly as essential. It's a smart step for this show to take, but it's the type of big change we've seen before, that usually doesn't stick. Hopefully this time, this ship won't turn right back around into the path it's grown accustomed to.

Q: CanCanCan Authorize creation of a child record based on its parent's attributes I'm currently trying to set up a CanCanCan authorization on a child model based on a parent models attributes, but I can't seem to get it to work. I need to to something like the following:
can(:create, Bid) { |b| b.request.status == :open }

So in my situation, a Request can have many bids, but you should only be able to create bids when the request is still open for bidding.
The problem is the instance of a Bid will always have a request of nil.
I noticed authorization runs before the controller does, so it uses my bid_params before I run @bid = @request.bids.build(bid_params) in the controller.
I have tried using load_and_authorize_resource :bid, through: :request but that doesn't seem to help.
What am I doing wrong?

A: I'd try to do it "manually" before using load_and_authorize_resource.
def create
  @bid  = @request.bid.find(params[:id])
  authorize! :create, @bid
end

your ability can be rewritten in a simpler way as
can :create, Bid, request: { status: :open }

when this works, also using
load_and_authorize_resource :request
load_and_authorize_resource through: :request

should work and you can remove your "manual" call to authorize!

Research is a team effort
by Mona Sharaf '19 and Claire De Lisle
What pressures do women executives in Japan face? Which genes are responsible for different petal designs in flowers? How do people's implicit racial biases affect their voting behavior? Can a computer model show how the human body tries to repair the nervous system in multiple sclerosis? How can archaeological, literary and artistic representations of buildings in classical Athens help us understand Athenian society?
Funding from donors in the university's For the Bold campaign have enabled honors fellowship students to research these questions in the fields of science, art, international relations, literature and so much more.
Last year, more than 1,200 gifts comprising more than $300,000 made these projects possible — all because of the generosity of donors who gave through the university's crowdfunding effort.
For years, the William & Mary Honors Fellowship Program has been utilizing crowdfunding to secure private dollars for seniors conducting honors projects. Students are able to share their project online through short videos, photos and written information so that donors get a sense of each project and can contribute to those that resonate with them.
Honors fellowships are administered by the Roy R. Charles Center for Academic Excellence, which supports faculty development, student research and engaged learning, honors and interdisciplinary studies.
The center's director, Wiengartner Professor of Government Joel Schwartz, is stepping down at the end of this semester after 30 years at the helm.
"Joel helped to generate the focus on undergraduate research for which William & Mary has become justly famous. He eloquently advocates the benefits to students and faculty of working together on original research that ultimately allows students to discover new knowledge on their own," said the Dean of Arts & Sciences Kate Conley.
Under his leadership, private funding for the Honors Fellowship Program has grown significantly.
Approximately 10 percent of each senior class conducts an honors thesis, and about half apply for fellowship funding. Of the 72 applicants who participated in honors fellowships crowdfunding in spring 2017, 68 students received at least $4,000, enough to cover their 10-week summer research, and 32 students were fully funded at $6,000, which includes $1,000 for project-related expenses and $1,000 to support the research of their faculty advisors.
Once the student receives funding, they are required to work full-time on their research for 10 weeks during the summer. The research they conduct must correlate with their senior's honors project, for which they enroll during their fall and spring semesters.
Throughout the experience, students blog about their progress, enabling donors to stay apprised of projects they support.
Casey Lardner '15, a 2013 honors fellow, thanked donors on her research blog for funding her project. "I am so humbled to be a member of the William & Mary community. When I applied for an honors fellowship, I did not realize the extent to which the program was dependent upon crowd-sourced funding from alumni, family and friends. Most of the donors to my project were people I do not know. That's amazing. THANK YOU, both for this opportunity and for sending my Tribe Pride barometer through the roof."
More students than ever before have the funding to conduct honors projects. Schwartz has seen a dramatic increase in the number of fully funded student projects since the university started utilizing its crowdfunding model.
"If we did not utilize crowdfunding, we could fund around eight honors fellowships with internal money," Schwartz said. "While that's a fair amount of money, it only helps eight students. With this program, more than 70 students are funded."
All students who have been approved to participate in department honors are eligible to apply for honors fellowships. For Schwartz, there is no limit on the number of people the website can help.
"We encourage all students to do honors projects, and if they do, we encourage them actively participate in the fundraising," Schwartz said. "The more the better."
Though Schwartz is bidding farewell to campus in June, his legacy will be felt by all involved in the program for many years to come.
"Joel has championed undergraduate research in Arts & Sciences and raised funds to support research opportunities for students through a broad range of programs and internships," said Conley. "I cannot speak highly enough of Joel, who brings exceptional listening skills and innovation to any project of which he is a part."
Provost Michael R. Halleran echoes Dean Conley's sentiments.
"Joel leaves a stellar legacy, marked by innovation and collaboration," said Halleran. "We will miss him greatly, but will have the benefit of what he has built in his three decades as director of the Charles Center."

Last week, I shared some advice on how to prepare a brief for your architect so that your project can hit the ground running. Most of that advice applies to new builds as well as existing, but new builds do feature some crucial differences to the briefing process which deserve special attention.
First of all, you need to overcome the intimidation of the blank page.
When you're working from an existing house, it's relatively easy to take a pen to some plans and scribble away walls and add extensions. But when you have nothing to work from but an empty plot, it can be very difficult to know where to start.
Typically, people break through this barrier in two directions: either they go entirely off the wall and think up designs that have no chance of ever being built either due to costs or physics, or they fall back on convention and struggle to imagine anything but a typically house shaped house.
Finding the right balance between the two is the difference between a beautiful, cutting edge contemporary home and a daydream that never gets past the drawing board.
A good start is to look at other contemporary homes in the UK – particularly within the area and budget you're going to build – and compile a photo library or, even better, visit them to ask about the owner's experiences of the build and get a tour of their home. Develop a sense of what you do and don't enjoy in contemporary design. A new build is your opportunity to design around your taste from the ground up, so there's no sense in incorporating a feature you don't entirely enjoy just because it's in vogue.
For instance, while plenty of contemporary architecture features open plan design, including many of our own builds, you may find that you prefer the intimacy of smaller rooms. Or, you might prefer traditional stone and a rustic finish to clean white exteriors and sharp lines. Become confident in your taste and your perfect home will start to form in the fog.
At DGA, we're proud of a contemporary portfolio that pushes domestic architecture forward and tests the limits of what is achievable in a home today. But though some of our builds may appear as if they were built with complete freedom, each was in fact shaped by an incredibly strict list of rules and restrictions.
The UK does not have a building industry like Los Angeles, where you can simply buy a plot and do on in what you may. Building control puts intense scrutiny on new builds so that they do not negatively impact neighbours, the landscape, the environment and more, whether in their complete form or during the building process.
But, like a great poem, having a structure in place does not necessarily impede creativity and, in some respects, can enhance it. Having to balance all the factors involved in a new build forces us to be smarter and more creative than we might be if we could simply do whatever we wanted.
What this means for you is that you won't know what your house will look like until you understand the restrictions of the site. Some will only allow you to build within a certain boundary, some will enforce a height limitation, others will only let you build with a similar aesthetic to surrounding architecture.
This is why you should seek advice from an architect earlier in a new build than you would in a renovation. If you're working from an existing house, it's easier to get a sense of what is and is not possible by looking at the current structure and what's been achieved elsewhere in the area. Many home owners mull over their plans for years before contacting an architect. But if you're starting from scratch, you need to understand every rule and restriction of the site down to the letter before you can so much as sketch a box with with a triangle on top of it.
At DGA, we're always happy to discuss your plans, whether you have pages upon pages of briefing documents or just want to know what's possible on your site. Click here to get in touch with us today.

I respect that, no worries at all. And I got it, again apologies for having you go through everything and rule-breaking of course. Thanks for the time. Here it goes.
Cheers for the quick reply, appreciated. I'll go on with what you've asked from most recent to as far as I can recall. I had received a motorbike from one of Gambler's characters as soon as I started Valdrin Agimi, just to get him around and a vehicle to start with, and it was planned that I return him as soon I have the base paychecks, though it wasn't transferred between characters, it still wasn't roleplayed. I believe I had paid Eli Davenport a sum to help them get started with their character. I have paid Adi Begovic multiple times money without roleplay, though it was OOC being for the interior objects, since he's working an interior out for me. I'll also add if it counts for anything that I owed Gambler's character 30 grand for the drugs provided to Valdrin, but due to me not being able to login for a couple days due to personal reasons, Rinor Istrefi paid them the same amount and I transferred it to Rinor as soon as I got back & able to play, though this is condemned & regretted too not being roleplayed. As for a transfer, I've had one pistol transferred from one of the characters I deleted a month ago to Cody which I'm more than willing to be wiped.
Apologies @Keane, typed this out really late without even realizing I'm logged in, I'll add some more input to the explanation. Ever since a year and a half I've been on the server, all I've done is tried & provided roleplay not only to me but as many people I can as I go. Be it the MP dealership food truck on my Italian last summer which led to 50+ interactions and led to a very interesting plot, the restaurant or Alpha Fitness wherein several characters partook and developed their characters around a sport. The intentions behind the drug transfer weren't any different, we had a small clique planned out in Vespucci who would supply drugs on a small scale & roleplay along, which we did. The purpose of the transfer (as obvious it is by now) was not to stack money up on a character. Don't get me wrong, I do not try to justify myself by any means, the way of going about it was horrible. Though I had roleplayed every bit of the transfer, it's definitely something that I, as a player should not take upon me and consulted an admin / done a request before proceeding. I'm ready to comply and do all that's necessary to nullify it by a wipe and I'm worthy of the same. That said, I truly apologize to the server causing any harm to the economy by my silly behavior & of course due to breaking the rule. Other than this which I don't want to be repetitive about the previous ban wasn't for anything similar & was reversed, which I will go into detail if necessary. I still have great plans on the server & ideas to flourish more IC events & roleplay in general, a lot of it which was planned very soon. Thus, do hope this is considered - thanks.


This post focuses on some common health and safety myths. For example, "there's Nothing You Can Do About Slips And Trips And They Don't Really Hurt Anyone Anyway".
Most slips and trips are preventable and many happen when spills aren't cleared up or clutter tidied away. In 2009, there were four fatalities and more than 10 000 employees were seriously injured when they had a slip or trip at work. This results in broken bones and time off work, costing the economy around £800 million per year. Simple mistakes can shatter lives … your actions could help stop them from happening.
Don't take things for granted, cut corners or wait for someone else to do it. Clear up!

Elevations & Landforms in the Great Rift Valley
Landforms in Scotland
Landscapes and Landforms in the Arctic Circle

The Differences in a Tropical Monsoon & a Tropical Rainforest
At 66.5 degrees North latitude, the Arctic Circle is one of the Earth's two polar circles: parallels defining the so-called "circles of illumination," marking the extent of 24-hour daylight or darkness on the summer and winter solstices, respectively. Much of this territory is occupied by the open water and ice wilderness of the Arctic Ocean, but its landmasses – the northern margins of Eurasia and North America as well as numerous islands – form the striking backdrop. For outdoor adventurers exploring these high latitudes, the Arctic Circle country manifests as razor-sharp ridges, flower-spangled tundra, odd stone formations and myriad other arresting landscapes.
The Arctic Circle encompasses numerous mountain ranges, which rank among the most remote places on Earth due to their extreme latitude, ruggedness and harsh climate. Loftiest of all Arctic ranges is the Watkins Mountains of Greenland. The mountains culminate in 12,119-foot Gunnbjørn Fjeld. A number of large, remote national parks offer visitors the chance to explore far northern Canada's Arctic Cordillera, a collection of significant polar ranges like the Challenger Mountains; these include Quttinirpaaq National Park. The Brooks Range is a wild and imposing chain in northern Alaska, with a spur, the Richardson Mountains, arcing into Yukon. The roadless Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve – named by famed conservationist Bob Marshall for two grand horns, Boreal Mountain and Frigid Crags, which he saw as portals to the Far North – and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompass portions of the Brooks Range.
Patterned Ground
The lurch of soil and rock due to cycles of water freezing and thawing – so influential in the extreme climate north of the Arctic Circle – creates highly distinctive landforms collectively called patterned ground. Well-known examples are geometric arrangements of rocks, often called stone circles, stone polygons or stone nets. Such landforms can be observed in many protected areas of the region, such as Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or the massive Northeast Greenland National Park.
From Alaska to Scandinavia, the vast circumpolar boreal forest begins petering out into bare tundra, a frontier known as the Arctic treeline. A variety of factors influence this pattern, such as the seasonal geography of polar air masses and the depth of thaw in the soil, as trees require a certain depth of annually unfrozen soil above permafrost to survive. Most Arctic treeline species are conifers; one kind, the Dahurian larch of Asia, ranges farther north than any other, able to survive the punishing climate of Arctic Siberia nestled in a foot or less of soil. Some of the northernmost groves of Dahurian larch are on display in Russia's remote Taimyrsky Reserve. North America's farthest-north forests are woodlands of white spruce at the mouth of the Mackenzie River in the Arctic Ocean, in the Northwest Territories.
Notable Miscellaneous Landforms
Kobuk Valley National Park in northwestern Alaska – part of an impressive mosaic of farflung wilderness along with Noatak National Preserve, Selawik National Wildlife Refuge and Gates of the Arctic – protects among the more unusual landforms of the Arctic towering sand dunes along the Kobuk River. Derived from glacial and river sediments and sculpted by winds blowing southward toward the Waring Mountains, these dunes tower hundreds of feet at their maximum. Nunataks are particularly enigmatic Arctic (and Antarctic) landforms: mountain horns rising from and completely surrounded by ice sheets. The loftiest Arctic peak, Gunnbjørn Fjeld, is a nunatak.

Capturing CO2 emissions needed to meet climate targets
Written by Ibrahim on June 28, 2014 . Posted in Latest News
Technologies that are discussed controversially today may be needed to keep the future risks and costs of climate change in check. Combining the production of energy from fossil fuels and biomass with capturing and storing the CO2 they emit (CCS) can be key to achieving current climate policy objectives such as limiting the rise of the global mean temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius. This is shown by the most comprehensive study to date on technology strategies to combat climate change, published in a special issue of the journal Climatic Change. It is based on the analysis of 18 computer models by an international team of scientists under the roof of the Stanford Energy Modelling Forum (EMF 27).
"Versatile technologies seem to be most important to keep costs in check," says lead author Elmar Kriegler from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Both bioenergy and CCS can help reduce emissions from non-electric energy use that would be hard to decarbonize otherwise. Examples are the burning of coke in blast furnaces in the steel industry which can be equipped with CCS, and the combustion of petrol for transport which can be replaced by biofuels. "If combined, energy from biomass and CCS can even result in withdrawing CO2 from the atmosphere and hence compensate remaining emissions across sectors and over time, because grasses and trees absorb CO2 before they are used to produce energy," explains Kriegler.
In contrast, the availability of individual low carbon technologies in the electricity sector was shown to be less important. This is due to the fact that the electricity sector has a number of mitigation options, like nuclear, solar, and wind power, but also gas and coal power with CCS. So the lack of one of them can more easily be compensated by the others.
Bioenergy and CCS are important to keep costs in check, but also have risks
Many simulations in the study could not at all achieve emissions reductions in line with the 2 degrees target without the use of bioenergy combined with CCS. Among those that could, mitigation costs on average more than doubled in scenarios without CCS. "Concerns regarding bioenergy and CCS are highly relevant, but given the potential importance of these technologies, it becomes clear that their opportunities and risks urgently need to be investigated in greater detail," Kriegler concludes.
Energy from biomass indeed risks competing with food production for land, and sequestering CO2 from power plants underground on an industrial scale is a yet unproven method.
The technology strategies exist – but depend on climate policy
A robust feature of the transformation that was identified in the study is an accelerated electrification of energy used by consumers, for instance by increasing the number of electric cars or of electric blast furnaces in the steel industry. Moreover, increasing energy efficiency has proven to be an important strategy to support climate policy, cutting mitigation costs in half. However, energy efficiency improvements alone, without strong policies to decarbonize energy production, would be insufficient to reach the 2 degrees target.
"Our study shows that there are technology strategies that can enable us to reach ambitious climate policy targets with some degree of confidence," says John Weyant, head of the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum. "But these strategies will only be possible if effective climate policies are implemented very very soon."

The combination of malignant code (such as the Mirai botnet source code) and billions of unsecured Internet of Things devices have made it possible for hackers to launch mega-volumetric attacks in the terabits per second range.
Despite the capacity for larger volumetric attacks, the vast majority of attacks are now small-scale. Corero customers experience an average of 5 attacks per day, but 80% of the attacks are less than 1Gbps in peak bandwidth utilization.
A few years ago the vast majority of DDoS attacks were typically long-duration, volumetric attacks. Why would small attacks now be in the majority? Because that's how hackers can make money. The DDoS threat landscape changed when cyber criminals realized that they didn't have to launch volumetric attacks to disable a network. Most of today's DDoS attacks are much more sophisticated; they are surgically crafted to deliver enough traffic volume, for just enough duration, to knock out a target.
Ransom and extortion attacks are now big business on the Dark Web. Once a hacker knocks a victim's network offline, the hacker can install ransomware on the network to extort money. One can see how DDoS attacks go hand-in-hand with that trend.
In light of the fact that hackers have increased low-threshold, sub-saturating attacks, it became necessary to build real-time, in-line DDoS mitigation appliances that can detect both small and large types of DDoS attacks. Legacy DDoS solutions rely on separate monitoring systems and re-route suspicious traffic to sets of DDoS protection appliances, which then inspect that traffic for attacks before finally providing mitigation. These solutions are far from real-time, as traffic statistics have to be first collected and analyzed, followed by routing changes and subsequent detection and mitigation. The process often adds up to tens of minutes of delays before mitigation of a DDoS attack commences.
Short, sub-saturating DDoS attacks can be launched and successfully completed long before any legacy DDoS monitoring systems notice them and begin to re-route the suspicious traffic. Therefore, your network is not safe from DDoS attacks—or therefore ransomware or extortion—unless you have a real-time DDoS mitigation solution in place.

Turnout light for parks meetings
Plan charts course for next five years
Alyssa LaRenzie
Updated: Aug. 27, 2011, 9:30 a.m.
Fill out the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department's online survey at www.rgbaicpinc.com/forsythcounty/survey.
A few residents weighed in on the future of Forsyth County's parks and recreation offerings during two public input meetings this week.
The Tuesday and Wednesday night meetings, held at Sharon Springs and Central parks, drew small groups for discussion on the comprehensive recreation master plan.
The plan, which will cover the years 2012-17, helps determine the type, number and location of future parks, facilities, programs, open space and trails to meet the county's needs.
At the Tuesday meeting, parks and recreation director Jerry Kinsey questioned whether a small gathering was good or bad.
Resident Kristin Morrissey, who is also a school board member, chose to look on the bright side.
"You could take it as a good sign that you passed so many cars on the way in," Morrissey said. "They're out there enjoying the park."
At both meetings, the sights and sounds of people walking on exercise trails and practicing sports provided the backdrop.
Bob Betz of AICP, the consultant for the plan, said much has changed since 1998, when he began working with Forsyth County on the updates.
"We had a handful of parks in Forsyth County, and now take a look at what [Kinsey] has accomplished over the years," Betz said. "Staff has expanded. You've got lots of new land. You've been very fortunate when compared to other cities and counties in Georgia to be able to buy land to develop for parks and recreation facilities."
Providing population-based standards, Betz said the county has about 6.25 acres of useable park land for every 1,000 people.
When including undeveloped land that's in the plans for parks, that number increases to 11 acres, exceeding the county-set standard of 10 acres.
The county's most recent recreational land purchases came through the 2008 voter-approved $100 million bond for parks, recreation and green space.
The planned green space parks and areas were a popular topic among those at the meetings.
Jack Gleason, founder of Friends of Caney Creek, expressed concern for the environmental sensitivity of the Harrison site.
"What we need to do is preserve the green space, especially on that property," Gleason said.
He applauded the county for creating more natural park opportunities, especially in south Forsyth, where development has occurred more quickly.
Matt Pate, the county's outdoor recreation manager, said several miles of natural trails should open at the green space parks within two or three years.
North Forsyth resident Felicity O'Neal said she's looking forward to more natural, unpaved trails where she can walk her dog.
"At Fowler Park, I was staggered by the amount of buildings and concrete," said O'Neal, who attended the meeting Wednesday at Central Park.
At Sharon Springs, residents praised the county for opening Fowler Park earlier this year.
It is a bit of a drive for them, but Chris Agisotelis said his family frequents the park, even if just to walk on the trail.
"Fowler Park is without a doubt one of the coolest things I've seen," Agisotelis said.
As a lacrosse coach, he also said the park has provided some much needed space for the rapidly growing youth sport.
Betz thanked the few attendees for providing their input.
"The purpose of this is to have you folks tell us what you'd like to see," he said. "If you build what you want to do, people don't use the facilities."
In forming the plan, Betz has also created an online survey, which he said has drawn more than 700 responses. It will be available for a few more weeks.
Betz and parks and recreation staff plan to present the draft of the comprehensive recreation master plan to the county commission sometime in October.

NBL has purchased basketball.com.au and basketball.co.nz
TOPICS:.com.aubasketballbasketball.com.aucctldCCTLD'sdomainingdomaining.comNBLNBL.tv
NBL – Australia's National Basketball League was formed in 1979 with nine teams and has seen many great players, coaches and personalities involved over the three decades.
The competition moved to summer in 1998 and this season has 8 teams competing, including one from New Zealand.
The NBL decided to purchase the domain names basketball.com.au and basketball.co.nz along with nbl.net.au, nbl.org.au and bball.com.au with plans to develop BasketBall.com.au – BasketBall.com is currently owned by Now Presence LLC which has a standard Coming Soon Landing page and email sign up.
The domain Basketball.com.au was sold privately for $90,000 AU Dollars earlier this year according to this report.
The NBL already owns NBL.TV & NBL.com.au but also has 63,000 plus fans on Facebook & Twitter.
Have you voted yet? Poll Closes Tomorrow… How Many GTLD's Have You Sold in 2015?
The NBL is expanding its online operations ahead of next season.
NBL executive director Larry Kestelman is working towards giving the league a new name and a much-improved digital presence, which will include NBA, NBL and international basketball coverage to encourage fans of overseas basketball to increase their interest in the local competition.
Kestelman has engaged Publicis Mojo to create new branding for the Australian league, which he wants ready to release before the new season begins in October.
The NBL has purchased the domain names basketball.com.au and basketball.co.nz along with nbl.net.au, nbl.org.au and bball.com.au with the league working to build a new website for the basketball.com.au and a new league website.
The new domain names will lead to a portal with news and features on the NBA and other world competitions alongside the league's own NBL coverage, with Kestelman believing Australian and New Zealand NBA supporters could be drawn into consuming the NBL if exposed to his league.
Kestelman and new NBL general manager Jeremy Loeliger are making progress on a new broadcast deal, but Kestelman also aims for the league to make a more compelling online offering.
"The NBL hasn't kept up with what fans expect from a major sports league in terms of digital engagement and online presence," Mr Kestelman said.
"The domain name purchase gives us the opportunity to provide the best online portal within that category where fans can keep up with the game of basketball in Australia and around the world.
"There will be a dual website approach with the revamp of the nbl.com.au due soon for the local game when basketball.com.au will become a content hub for the global game."
The NBL was one of the first leagues to live stream all its matches and has been doing so for several seasons but the league website has long not been changed for several seasons and was a source of frustration to NBL people and fans.
"During the construction phase, basketball.com.au will redirect to the official NBL website as we head towards the season," Kestelman said.
"Since the 1990s, there has been a huge shift in how people engage with sports and participate in sports entertainment, and for basketball we are aiming to exceed everyone's expectations in terms of what the fans can access through digital channels."
NBL clubs are also working to boost the league's star power with past NBL stars Kevin Lisch and AJ Ogilvy signing with Illawarra Hawks, NBA import Josh Childress and centre Julian Khazzouh re-joining Sydney Kings and Melbourne United bringing Boomers guard Chris Goulding back from Europe.
Kestelman believes the moves the league is making will appeal to new supporters.
"We have a 100-day agenda to undertake a full digital rebrand, product refresh, and secure a broadcast partner before the season commences," Kestelman said.
"We are progressing extremely well and I am very confident that basketball will become the number one sports entertainment product in the country, with a strong presence in TV and online and major support from our partners to deliver an incredible fan experience."

How are recording studios like Asgard? Talkie will tell you.	How are recording studios like Asgard? Talkie will tell you.
The new Talkie album wasn't recorded in a typical studio space. Fundamental Things saw the four members record in the most DIY way possible, wherever they could set up their homemade pop-up recording studio.
The band continues to play music while maintaining busy schedules — not because they're chasing a dream of making money from their songs but because they enjoy doing it. "We all found a way to make it work with our adult lives," Martin, the drummer, says as the majority of the members admit they've gone into teaching. "We just love recording and playing shows together. We're all going to be married in a few months, I have a daughter, we're all working full-time yet we're still recording our own albums, putting them our on our own label and doing everything on our own," he continued.
For Talkie, playing music is a testament to how well the four friends work together and refuse to throw in the towel. "Everybody's got their hobbies: Some people build trains in their garage, some people are into taxidermy, and we're into bands," Brad Hagmann joked.
Over the past two years, the members spent long hours recording Fundamental Things, setting up recording time in their own homes, an office building in Fremont, and even Martin's grandparents' cabin 30 miles south of Lake Tahoe.
"Much like in Thor, how Asgard is a people not a place, the recording studio is a people, not a place," Martin says.
The band spent so much time writing songs, they recorded enough material for two albums. They labeled one batch of songs "The Cold Album" because of its dreamy, hazy sounds, and the other batch of upbeat, feel-good songs "The Warm Album." Despite the release of the album landing during the highest temperatures of the year, the band chose to use the "cold songs" on it.
We talk about musicians who have released double albums. While we all mutually find long albums we enjoyed, Talkie enjoys taking a different direction with each new release. "Our last record was a super-indulgent double album," Martin says. "The album cover is a very vibrant mountain in the desert in the south and we wanted to do the opposite of that."
And while the new record is vastly different than the last, one thing remains — Talkie is all about vibes and themes. Fundamental Things is an album with underwater dreamy artwork, ambient keyboards, and reverb filled guitars.
From doing multiple takes of an underwater photo shoot to meet the ambiance of the songs (requiring each member to hold their breath for extended periods of time) to making sure the album sounded like a playlist, the band pays attention to the smallest of details. "Instead of someone just pulling one or two songs from our album and putting it on a playlist, they can put on an album that feels like a playlist," Isaacs explained.
Check out the new album for yourself to hear the tracks that made the fundamental cold playlist.

Experts find vulnerability in the E-voting system of the Post
International IT experts have discovered the source of the E-Voting system the Post a critical error. The error relates to the universal verifiability. The Post
12 March 2019 Tuesday 13:06 - 5 reads.
International IT experts have discovered the source of the E-Voting system the Post a critical error. The error relates to the universal verifiability. The Post has invited their technology partners Scytl, to correct the error in the Code immediately.
The correction was already in place, told the Post on Tuesday. The customized source code was fed with the next regular Release. The error alone does not enable it, to the E-Voting System, holds the Post.
The Federal Chancellery, in turn, informed on Tuesday in a Communiqué that a significant deficiency has been discovered. The error is not the System of the Swiss Post office, the stand in the four cantons already in use is affected.
No right to claim reward
For a good two weeks by the Federal government and the cantons arranged public intrusion test of the E-Voting system, the Post runs. Over 3000 hackers around the world to 24. In March, the System. Who would have cracked it, would have received a prize money of up to CHF 50'000. Was discovered in the gap, however, from the expert to the canadian security researcher Sarah Jamie Lewis. However, they are not registered as a Tester and be able to claim, therefore, no premiums.
"We believe that people have a right to safe and secure voting systems that are transparent and understood, can be checked. We do this not because of the money," says Lewis in respect of the Republic.
It is 9am Swiss Time, @VTeagueAus, Olivier Pereira & I are releasing details of a cryptographic trapdoor that we found in the Swiss Post #evoting system that would allows admins to falsely "prove" mixes that age. & undetectably compromise elections: https://t.co/ETEDuDsSAe
— Sarah Jamie Lewis (@Sarah Jamie Lewis) 12. March 2019
And one more point speaks to Lewis: It was in connection with the discovered vulnerability that any Hacker can manipulate the System. The Severity of the gap lies in the fact that the Post itself electoral fraud would operate and at the same time prove that they would not have done just that. (nag/SDA)

Monday From the cable car exit at the top of Wulai Falls, we had to scale up a series of steps (past a little altar) to reach the Dreamland amusement park and once we did, found that most of the attractions were actually closed (at 5pm).
We weren't too fussed since we had read that the facilities were a little "frayed around the edges" and upon seeing them, were unlikely to have used them anyway. Most of the attractions seemed better suited for young children. Since we had come this far, I wanted to make a point of seeing what there was at least.
The first thing we saw was a hotel, which would have looked abandoned if not for two receptionists almost hidden from view behind a room length front desk.
We crossed over a typically designed East-Asian bridge and wandered through a small scale amusement park sporting a variety of attractions within its undulating grounds.
The amusements included small rides, various shooting ranges and a boating lake full of fish.
There was also a swimming pool which seemed to contain the only people in the whole of the park - a small family and an attendant busying themselves with some cleaning.
Watch our video below to get a sense of the atmosphere..
The whole experience of wandering through Dreamland was pretty eerie, with the state of the attractions making me feel almost embarrassed for the resort.
A real shame since the location was superb, and could potentially intersperse engaging activities within a fresh, healthy and completely natural habitat.
I did wonder whether the place attracts any significant numbers of visitors but have read of people that take short breaks at the hotel, being content with the facilities, in order to get away from it all.
With hindsight, as quiet as it was, I think I actually enjoyed the deserted Dreamland experience. With the cable car closing at 8pm, I did wonder whether there was any other route out to civilisation and thought Dreamland would make a superb location for a horror/slasher movie.

Messi, Ramsay and more up for grabs in Alzheimer's auction
Ryan Nicolson	April 29, 2021 1
Morag Smith with her dad, Chris.
What do Lionel Messi, Gordon Ramsay and the Scottish national rugby team have in common?
They all have prizes up for grabs in a charity auction for the Alzheimer's Society taking place over this weekend.
A signed Lionel Messi is up for auction.
A Barcelona shirt signed by its captain, champagne breakfast at Ramsay's restaurant in The Savoy in London and a match-ball signed by the Scottish national rugby side after their recent Six Nations win over France are just three of the prizes on offer in the online auction.
Morag Smith, 25, has organised the "In It to Bid It" fundraiser in aid of Alzheimer's Society, which has supported her family since her dad, Chris, was diagnosed.
She is hoping to raise £4,000 for them over the coming months, and will run in the London Marathon in October for the charity.
After asking for prizes for the charity auction Ms Smith said she had been "inundated" with offers.
As well as a champagne breakfast at The Savoy in London, entrants can win an online evening with acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, a three-course Sunday lunch at Gleneagles or local prizes such as a three-month Mareel gold card or a sea kayak around Shetland.
Ms Smith's dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in December 2018, and she said that while she knew a cure would not be found in her dad's lifetime she wanted to raise funds so that "someone's else daughter will be spared the pain of this disease".
"Being home in Shetland for this last year has meant that I've spent time with my dad that I wouldn't normally have had, which has been just wonderful.
"But I've also watched my dad's Alzheimer's become more advanced as his routine before the Covid-19 crisis started was stripped away, and that's been hard.
"I know what a difficult year everyone has had, so if people were able to support the auction, I would be incredibly grateful."
Folk can find the auction by searching "In It to Bid It" on Facebook, with bidding starting from 10am Friday morning and the winners announced after 8pm on Sunday evening.

When we put feeders in our yards, are we inadvertently putting birds at risk of striking the windows of our homes? The answer, say researchers from the University of Alberta, is complicated. Graduate student Justine Kummer and associate professor Erin Bayne, of the university's Birds and Windows citizen-science project, enlisted 43 homeowners in Edmonton to take part in the first year-long study of bird collisions with windows at private residences.
From April 2014 to May 2015, participants placed gazebo-style feeders filled with black-oil sunflower seeds either one meter or five meters from a window. The feeders were present for a month, then removed for another month, and the order of each month-long trial was randomized. Whether the feeder was present or not, residents searched every day for dead or injured birds, smudges on the glass, or other signs of impact.
They recorded 145 collisions. Eleven birds died, 89 survived, and the fates of 45 were unknown. Of the birds that could be identified, the most common species were Black-capped Chickadee, Cedar Waxwing, House Sparrow, and American Robin.
When feeders were present, 94 collisions occurred, while 51 strikes happened when feeders were put away, leading Kummer and Bayne to conclude that the presence of a feeder increased the collision risk 1.57 to 2.2 times. However, no collisions were reported at 18 of the 43 study houses — almost 42 percent. Of the rest, 14 had more strikes when a feeder was present, 10 had more strikes when a feeder was absent, and one had the same number regardless of feeder presence.
Other factors that influence bird collisions and that need more study, the researchers say, are types of glass, proximity to high-quality habitat, window decals, and the amount of nearby vegetation. But the most important driver, they report, is seasonality. The highest number of collisions occurred in fall, followed in descending order by spring, summer, and winter.
Kummer and Bayne described the study in the online journal Avian Conservation and Ecology.
A version of this article appeared in the April 2016 issue of BirdWatching magazine.
