As our culture embraces the concept of reuse or recycling in its many forms, it is only appropriate to focus on how some school districts have tapped the creativity of board members, architects, and/or planners to restore, renovate, or rebuild some their local structures to serve as educational spaces. Not only has this concept served them in the "green" sense by recycling the structures and adding eco-friendly components, but the projects also saved them some green in the form of lower expenditures for the amount of square footage they now use to serve their students.
These types of stories are always interesting, but this is also a subject that proves the adage "a picture is worth 1,000 words." So, we present a few examples of school facilities that have been recycled with a short description and several photos to give you a better sense of just how useful these building have become.
The halls and classrooms of the Phelps Architecture, Construction, and Engineering High School, located in Washington, D.C., buzz with activity. An engineering class works with the school's solar conductors. Students clamor to train on simulators for heavy equipment. Future architects hone their skills in high-tech drafting labs. In fact, there is nothing to indicate that just two years ago, these halls were silent.
From 2002 until 2006, Phelps Vocational High School sat vacant and in disrepair. Originally constructed in 1933, the building housed traditional vocational programs for nearly 70 years. But in 2002, the historic high school closed its doors — a victim of falling enrollment and its own outmoded curriculum.
In 2006, the District of Columbia Council conceived a plan that would transform Phelps into a 21st-century high school for the architecture, construction, and engineering trades. To develop a relevant, real-world learning environment, the district worked with local trade organizations. The American Institute of Architects (AIA), Washington Architectural Foundation, and Associated General Contractors all participated in the initial planning phases.
The resulting renovation program pushed the limits of the design-build approach. This ambitious whole school modernization involved the restoration of the circa-1933 buildings and the complete transformation of an ill-advised 1970s addition — all in only 14 months.
The aggressive timeline caused the design-build team of Turner Construction, Fanning Howey, and Bryant Mitchell Architects to employ a highly collaborative, "all-hands-on-deck" approach that blurred traditional roles. Architects painted trim, sills, and details. Contractors assisted with design recommendations, saving time and adding value throughout the process.
The Phelps campus has an iconic presence with the community. Historic preservation efforts focused on the 1930s structures, restoring exterior brick, interior and exterior woodwork, interior slate, and terrazzo floors. Upgraded dentil molding and brass lettering at the main entrance reinforce the connection to the past.
The design of the renovated campus focused on the use of the building as a teaching tool. The insertion of the dramatic two-story commons — which connects the 1930s structures and 1970s addition — establishes a showcase of construction techniques for welding, drywall, flooring, and masonry. Walls constructed in a variety of masonry types and exposed building systems provide students with examples of best practices in systems and finishes.
The curriculum at Phelps anticipates the importance of sustainability in the future of the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. Photovoltaic and hot water solar arrays, helical wind turbines, and a geothermal cold-water loop serve as demonstration elements. Energy monitors located throughout the school allow students to monitor energy output from the earth, sun, and wind.
"This futuristic school marks the launch of a new era of high-tech construction instruction in the District," notes Mayor Adrian M. Fenty. "Phelps graduates can look forward to well-paying jobs that can't be outsourced and trades that can never be taken away."
Edwin R. Schmidt, AIA, owner-in-charge and principal at Fanning/Howey, has been involved in the planning, design, and delivery of educational facilities for the past 24 years. He can be reached at eschmidt@fhai.com.
The Avon Grove Charter School (AGCS) has been providing an innovative college-preparatory curriculum since 2002. Due to increased interest in the school's alternative to traditional Pennsylvanian public school education, AGCS had outgrown their Southwest Chester County, PA, facility by 2005. They turned to Hooper Shiles Architects (HSA) for evaluation and assessment of their existing State Road Campus, as well as a comprehensive architectural programming process from which a master plan was developed to accommodate AGCS's foreseen future growth.
In September 2007, an opportunity to reinvent what was a public school in the charter school's image came forth and AGCS purchased Kemblesville Elementary from the Avon Grove School District. The 43,000-sq.-ft. elementary school, built in several phases in the 1950s and 60s, had been abandoned for five years and was in a state of disrepair. The structure had a constantly leaking roof, mold throughout the facility, old construction materials containing asbestos, damage associated with ongoing vandalism and graffiti, as well as a structurally unsound classroom wing. In order to meet the school's population growth needs, Kemblesville Elementary would need to be quickly transformed into Avon Grove Charter School: Kemblesville Early Learning Center by September 2008.
The intensive schedule driving the rejuvenation of Kemblesville became paramount with design, regulatory approvals, asbestos abatement, public bidding, and renovations all occurring in just 12 months. In order to achieve AGCS's aggressive schedule, HSA worked with construction manager Quandel for an "unchartered" approach for "fast-tracking" multi-prime bid contracts.
HSA developed unique design features to renew the abandoned Kemblesville into a modern facility that reflects AGCS' cutting-edge academic mission while respecting the school's very tight budget. New finishes, creative space planning, and lively elements (such as the "trees of knowledge") were designed as cost effective solutions to provide way-finding solutions and a sense of place for the young children.
Today, children in grades K-2 run the halls of AGCS' Kemblesville Early Learning Center unaware of the massive renewal the once-blighted structure underwent just a few short months prior. The Early Learning Center not only responsibly developed an abandoned community building, but also has allowed AGCS to meet their educational mission throughout both their new facility and their existing campus.

The International School provides pre-kindergarten through fifth grade Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese language immersion educational programs for approximately 350 students in Portland, OR. The school's founder facilitated acquisition of an early 20th-century industrial building and site adjacent to existing school facilities. In addressing the school's immediate need for additional classroom space and very tight project budget, it became evident that renovating and redeveloping the existing industrial building on the site could be a viable option.
The original building's most recent use as a largely unconditioned automobile body shop required a full building code change of occupancy for the structure, a seismic upgrade, new electrical and mechanical systems, a new roof, a comprehensive interior build-out, new exterior openings and window systems, along with site and public frontage improvements. In spite of this comprehensive adaptive re-use effort, economy resulted in retaining the existing building framing and exterior walls.
Ultimately, 10,241 sq.-ft. of creative learning space, including 11 classrooms and indoor activity spaces, were established in the building. The original building was constructed on a sloped site with three large industrial-style, north-facing light monitors on the roof, and an irregular array of garage doors and boarded up openings on its downhill frontage.
Today the circulation and classroom spaces are flooded with natural light from the rehabilitated light monitors and tall storefront windows at the street frontages. Classrooms are separated from circulation spaces by tall translucent panels rising above traditional partitions. The original timber framing of the building is exposed and adds character throughout. A large sliding garage door salvaged from the original building was re-used to separate kiln space from the art classroom. Expansive canopies at street level shade new windows and protect pedestrians and students waiting to be picked up at the end of the school day.
The combination of thrifty adaptive re-use design and creative day lighting techniques has turned former "grease monkey" into light-filled classrooms, provided flexibility, and helped to bridge the gap for this growing school.
Timothy R. Eddy, AIA, LEED-AP is a founding principal of Hennebery Eddy Architects, a Portland, OR-based architecture, interior design, and planning firm.
Renovate the oldest school in the district. Maintain its historical integrity while adding 12 new state-of-the-art classrooms, and incorporate sustainable design strategies throughout the project.
Oh, and by the way, complete the project within two years without a loss of classroom time.
Hawthorne, a brick and limestone school expanded several times since opening in 1920 — including the addition of a second floor — sits on a small lot with many adjacent buildings. Because of that, the only viable area for expansion was on the west side of the building. Problem was, expansion there would cover the school's main façade, the most architecturally significant aspect of the building.
The design solution — build a narrow atrium with a skylight connecting the old and new structures, which placed the façade inside the atrium. "Like a museum, the interior of the school actually puts on display the original façade of the 1920s," says Dane Svoboda, the project architect on the Hawthorne assignment.
The project included a two-story addition (20,000 sq. ft.) for 12 classrooms and another 58,000 sq. ft. of renovations of the 90-year-old school. The project was done to not only provide more space for growing enrollment, but also to modernize the teaching environment.

US officials: Suspect in Nashville explosion died in blast

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NewsNation Now) — Federal authorities identified on Sunday the man they say is responsible for the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville and said that he died in the explosion.
Investigators used DNA to link the man, identified as Anthony Quinn Warner, to the blast. They said they believe no one else was involved.
Anthony Quinn Warner
Metro Nashville Police Department Spokesman Don Aaron confirmed Warner's identity earlier Sunday. Federal and state investigators had been working to determine who set off a bomb inside a recreational vehicle Friday morning that injured three people and damaged more than 40 businesses.
Separately, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press that federal investigators have started examining Warner's digital footprint and financial history. They are also examining a recent deed transfer of a home in suburban Nashville.
The official said forensic analysts are reviewing evidence collected from the blast site to try to identify the components of the explosives and are also reviewing information from the U.S. Bomb Data Center for intelligence and investigative leads.
Federal agents are examining a number of potential leads and pursuing several theories, including the possibility that an AT&T building was targeted. The bomb caused damage that affected communications in several states.
Federal investigators identified a person of interest Saturday in connection with the explosion.
More than 24 hours after the explosion, a motive remained elusive as investigators worked round-the-clock to resolve unanswered questions about a recreational vehicle that blew up on a mostly deserted street on a sleepy holiday morning and was prefaced by a recorded warning advising those nearby to evacuate. The attack, which damaged an AT&T building, continued to wreak havoc Saturday on cellphone service and police and hospital communications in several Southern states.
Investigators from multiple federal and local law enforcement agencies were at a home in Antioch, in suburban Nashville, after receiving information relevant to the investigation, said FBI Special Agent Jason Pack. Another law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said investigators regard a person associated with the property as a person of interest in the bombing.
The FBI does not believe there is "another subject" that FBI agents need to search for in connection explosion, the bureau said Saturday.
Earlier Saturday, investigators said at a news conference they are looking at a number of individuals who may be connected to the bombing but have also found no additional explosive devices — indicating no active threat to the area.
Douglas Korneski, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Memphis field office, said 250 agents, analysts, and FBI staff working the case are making progress in the search for the person or people responsible for planting a bomb in a recreational vehicle that exploded along a mostly deserted street. Three people were injured.
"It's just going to take us some time," he said. "Our investigative team is turning over every stone" to understand who did this and why.
Nashville's mayor said the initial evidence the blast was "a deliberate bomb," and the FBI is asking the public's help related to an RV at the center of the investigation.
"(Friday) morning's attack on our community was intended to create chaos and fear in this season of peace and hope. But Nashvillians have proven time and time again that the spirit of our city cannot be broken," Mayor John Cooper said at a news conference after issuing a curfew for the area.
Law enforcement agencies have received 500 tips since the Christmas Day explosion, turning a part of downtown into what US Attorney Don Cochran called "a giant jigsaw puzzle created by a bomb."

"We are continuing to follow every lead we have," Cochran said.
Separately, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a report Saturday that tissue samples found at the scene were determined to be human remains.
At the center of the investigation is an RV that was parked downtown at 1:22 a.m. (CST). Officers were called to the scene later in the morning to a call of shots fired.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee requested an emergency declaration from President Donald Trump Saturday to "support ongoing efforts and relief." At least 41 buildings were damaged, and communications systems — including residential and cell phone service and 911 call centers — failed across the state, he said. Kentucky and northern Alabama were also affected, he said.
"Officers encountered an RV that had a recording saying that a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes. Upon hearing that, officers decided to evacuate the buildings nearby," Drake said. "Shortly after that the RV exploded."
Surveillance video published on a Twitter account Friday that appeared to be across the street from the blast captured the warning issuing from the RV, "… if you can hear this message, evacuate now," seconds before the explosion.
The department's Hazardous Devices Unit was called to check the RV, but the vehicle exploded outside an AT&T transmission building, knocking out cellphone and internet connections to customers throughout the area, 911 services and caused issues to air traffic controllers at Nashville's airport.
Drake said there weren't any known threats to the city. He called it a "total surprise."

At least three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to local hospitals, the Nashville Fire Department said. Mayor Cooper said all three are in stable condition.

Explosion knocks communications offline
AT&T said the affected building is the central office of a telephone exchange, with network equipment in it. The blast interrupted service, but the company declined to say how widespread outages were.
As of 8:30 am CST Saturday, the company said it is working around the clock on recovery efforts.
At our facility, the focus of the restoration continues to be getting power to the equipment in a safe and secure way. Challenges remain, including a fire which reignited overnight and led to the evacuation of the building. Currently, our teams are on site working with safety and structural engineers. They have drilled access holes into the building and are attempting to reconnect power to critical equipment. Technical teams are also working as quickly as possible on rerouting additional services to other facilities in the region to restore service.
The AT&T outages site showed service issues in middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Several police agencies reported that their 911 systems were down because of the outage, including Knox County, home to Knoxville about 180 miles east of Nashville.
Tennessee Emergency management released alternative phone numbers for 911 services:
AT&T said that it was bringing in portable cell sites and was working with law enforcement to get access to make repairs to its equipment. The company noted that "power is essential to restoring" service.
The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily halted flights out of Nashville International Airport because of telecommunications issues associated with the explosion.

The destruction of the blast
Black smoke and flames were seen early Friday billowing from the area, which is packed with bars, restaurants and other retail establishments and is known as the heart of downtown Nashville's tourist scene.
"Forty-one businesses materially damaged by this blast," Cooper said. "There will be others."

According to reports, the police believe the explosion to be intentional, with at least 3 injured and human remains found in the vicinity of the explosion. (Photo by Terry Wyatt/Getty Images)
Buildings shook in the immediate area and beyond after a loud boom was heard.
"Given 2020 we're not sure how we would wake up on Christmas Day, but yeah this is not the way we thought we would wake up," said Sunny Fleming, who awoke to the blast. "We felt and heard it at the house."
Buck McCoy, who lives near the area, posted videos on Facebook that show water pouring down the ceiling of his home. Alarms blare in the background and cries of people in great distress ring in the background. A fire is visible in the street outside. McCoy said the windows of his home were entirely blown out.
"All my windows, every single one of them got blown into the next room. If I had been standing there it would have been horrible," he said.
"There were about four cars on fire. I don't know if it was so hot they just caught on fire, and the trees were all blown apart," he said.

The downtown area will remain shutdown while Metro Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI and other agencies investigate. The mayor also issued a curfew in the area.
President Trump has been briefed, according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere, who said that Trump, who is spending the holidays in Florida, will continue to receive regular updates.
President-elect Joe Biden has also been briefed.
"The president-elect and Dr. Biden thank all the first responders working today in response to the incident, and wish those who were injured a speedy recovery," the transition team said in a statement.
The U.S. Justice Department said Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen was also briefed and directed all department resources be made available to help with the investigation.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said on Twitter that the state would provide the resources necessary "to determine what happened and who was responsible. Please join @MariaLeeTN and me in praying for those who were injured and we thank all of our first responders who acted so quickly this morning."
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
The FBI has also established a digital tip line for anyone with information about the explosion. Those who prefer to call can do so by dialing 1-800-CALL-FBI.
The American Red Cross of Tennessee announced that it was working with officials to open a shelter for victims.

The Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool, Giverny by Claude Monet
Where? Gallery 161 of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
What do you see? A pond full of water lilies. The green leaves of the water lilies are resting on top of the water and are scattered across the pond. Many of the water lilies are blooming, and the large flowers stick out of the water. They are predominantly white, but Monet adds some hints of other colors, like blue, pink, red, and yellow, to depict the flowers. The pink and red tones are more visible in the water lilies in the back. Foliage surrounds the pond. A blue Japanese-style wooden footbridge crosses over the pond.
In the background, a dense collection of trees covers the sky. On the left, you can see the hanging leaves of the willows. You can see the reflection of the water lilies, the plants, and the trees in the pond, but at places, you can also see the transparency of the water in the pond. Monet must have had several people that kept its pond very clean to be able to see all these reflections in the water.
Backstory: In 1883, Monet moved to Giverny, about 45 miles Northwest of Paris. In 1893, he got the idea to buy a piece of land with a small pond next to his property. He expanded this pond and turned the land into a Japanese water garden full of bushes, flowers, trees, and water lilies. He also added a Japanese-style wooden bridge which you can see in this painting.
Several years later, Monet started to paint the pond with the water lilies and the bridge and continued to do so for the last 27 years of his life. Monet chose to omit the sky and the edge of the water in the foreground to try to fully absorb the viewer in the view of the water lily pond.

The Water Lily Garden: Giverny Monet's Garden is open to the public, and about 500,000 people visit the garden every year. It consists of the house of Monet and two parts of the garden. The first part is the flower garden which is full of common and rare varieties. Monet developed a love for gardening and was always on the lookout for rare flower species.
The second part of the garden is the Japanese-inspired water garden that you can see in this painting. His design of the water garden was inspired by prints of gardens in Japan that he collected (though Monet had never visited Japan). Monet was so inspired by this garden that he created about 250 paintings of it (though not all of them have survived as Monet destroyed some of them and others have been affected by fire).
He painted the water lilies at different times of the day and at different times during the year, such that every painting looks a little bit different. For example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibits the Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies, and the National Gallery of Art shows The Japanese Footbridge. Other examples can be found in, amongst others, the National Gallery, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Who is Monet? Oscar-Claude Monet (1840-1926) was born in Paris. He is considered to be one of the founders of impressionism. Together with artists like Cézanne, Degas, Pissarro, and Renoir, Monet set up several exhibitions in Paris in 1860 and 1870 to expose the public to this new style, including the painting Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son, which is now in the National Gallery of Art.
Monet was a very productive painter and his work has a unique style and subjects. For example, where many people associate sunflowers immediately with Van Gogh, water lilies are associated with Monet. Monet created gardens at all places where he lived, but the water lily pond was by far his favorite garden. He also traveled a lot through Europe to find nice landscapes which he used as an inspiration for his gardens and paintings.

Fun fact: Monet wanted to have exotic plants and water lilies in his garden, but the local community was against it as they were concerned that these exotic flowers would poison the water in Giverny. However, Monet proceeded anyway and imported flowers with the most beautiful colors from around the world. His water lilies came from Egypt and South America.
In 1912, Monet got diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes and his sight suffered because of that. He could not perceive colors in the same way anymore and that was reflected in his paintings. For example, instead of using predominantly blue, green, and white for the water lilies, he started to use more yellow and purple. As a result of this, Monet decided to paint more abstract paintings beginning in 1915.

Curious...and curiouser
By Staff Writer-18 September 2009 12:57pm
Speculation continues to mount today that The Curious Group is set to be placed into administration following the discovery of a significant debt which saw the resignation of most of its digital team and the break away of its Design and Architecture divis
Most of the Curious Digital staff have resigned – around 30 - to set up a newly formed digital agency called Bourne which will have offices in Glasgow, London and New York.
It is understood that the break away has taken place as a result of the discovery of a debt going back several years.
The Group was made up of a design and architecture division, a digital division and an advertising division. It is understood that three members of Curious Digital remain at the company, while it is unknown what has become of the advertising division at the time of writing.
Earlier today, Douglas McConville, managing director of Curious Design & Architecture confirmed that it was now company in its own right and that it was unaffected by recent news.
McConville said: "By all accounts Dan Kersh and Lawrence Craig seemed to be building a very successful digital agency with a truly global client base. It's a shame that they have had such a public fall out. We wish them both the best. Curious Design and Architecture is a wholly separate entity and for us, it is, as it always has been, very much business as usual."
It is also understood that Lawrence Craig was still overseeing the digital side of the company following the resignations and break away of the other division.
Stephen Burns, who co-founded the architecture and design business alongside Stephen Halpin as Curious Oranj which merged with Coltas in 2006 to form Curious Group, remains a director of the now independent architecture business.
Halpin left the company last year to launch his own business, Merchant Soul.
Meanwhile, Jo Blake, another director of Curious Group left the business as a result of the break up of the group several weeks ago.
Bourne will be headed up by Dan Kersh and is already working with clients such as Dell, Ricoh, McAfee, Salesforce and is in the final stages of pitching for work with Microsoft and American Express.
Kersh explained: "We can't really comment on the situation at Curious Group but we hope that Bourne will go onto bigger and better things in the future... Our vision is simple. We want to produce great work, with a focused team of specialists working in an environment that allows for creativity, innovation and growth."
At the time of writing no one from The Curious Group had returned The Drum's calls.

| Harvard may further cut hiring
Jessamyn Blau
Harvard may further cut hiring
Jessamyn Blau 12:00 am, Feb 20, 2003
The Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, facing a potential budget deficit, expects to further restrict its hiring policy.
In the fall, Harvard instituted a "soft freeze" hiring policy, which required administrative approval for all faculty hires. Now Harvard will likely add more restrictions for hiring, William Kirby, dean of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, said in a letter to Harvard faculty. The restrictions, which Kirby told the Harvard Crimson reflect concern that the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences could face a budget deficit, come as many universities enact hiring restrictions and budget cuts. Despite tougher economic times, Yale does not expect major changes in hiring policies, Yale officials said.
"We have a de facto soft freeze on hiring," Kirby said. "It is not a hard freeze but it is likely to get harder."
Yale Provost Susan Hockfield said faculty and hiring practices have not come up in any budget discussions.
"I have to say that we have not even contemplated a hiring freeze," she said. "I'm surprised, and its unfortunate when a university needs to take such measures."
History chairman Jon Butler said department chairmen are more likely to make prudent requests for resources because of the new economic situation. Butler said departments will try to shift funds from existing resources.
"It's probably not a time of great growth," Butler said. "But I don't feel it's a time of great crisis."
Butler said the History Department is proceeding with its hires as scheduled. He said the department has two offers out, is finishing a third search, and is discussing others.
"We have no indication at all that there is a problem or danger to any existing searches," Butler said.
Department of English chairwoman Ruth Yeazell said a soft hiring freeze at Yale could be difficult for departments, like English, that rely on part-time staff. Yeazell said the English Department is trying to develop a program that would decrease the number of appointments by creating more permanent positions.
Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokeswoman Andrea Shen said the Faculty of Arts and Sciences is in "a strong financial position" now, but the university is mindful of the slowing economy. She said the freeze is a precautionary measure.
Many other universities around the country have taken similar measures. In October Stanford University announced a staff hiring freeze, while Duke University announced it might consider cutting up to 50 faculty positions.
Roderick MacFarquhar, chairman of Harvard's government department, said his department completed its junior faculty hires for the year and did not change its hiring practices.
"We'll go to Dean Kirby and see how he feels," MacFarquhar said. "I don't think it's going to affect hires greatly, though I think Dean Kirby is going to have to be very cautious."
He said Kirby's reviews of hiring proposals will allow him to evaluate all departments and determine which ones have the most pressing hiring needs. But he said the hiring freeze cannot be too "hard" because other universities are continuing to hire, and Harvard cannot afford to halt hiring if it wants to remain competitive.
Shen said Harvard remains committed to attracting good faculty members.
"Hiring and retaining superb faculty remains a very priority at [the Faculty of Arts and Sciences]," Shen said. "We will continue to pursue the very best teachers and scholars for our faculty."


Sure, investing in emerging markets isn't without risk, but that shouldn't dissuade you from doing it. These growing economies are great places to look for wonderful investment opportunities — as long as you to take necessary precautions. By managing the risks associated with emerging markets, you can make the most of the opportunities that are presented to you.
Doing careful research can help you better identify your sources of risk and return, which in turn can help you better understand when — and how much — to buy and sell. Doing your homework starts with a good understanding of the country and the industry that you're investing in.
When you start your research into the country and industry, ask some basic questions: Who runs the government? Is the government committed to development? Who competes for customers and funds with the investment that you're considering?
Because markets change quickly, especially new markets, be sure to rely on news sources for up-to-date information. Two great places to start are The Economist magazine and the Wall Street Journal. The Economist is published in London and offers great weekly coverage of business and political issues all over the world. The Wall Street Journal covers business and investing issues worldwide and has some of the best coverage of Asia around.
The next step is looking at the financials of the investment that you're considering. How will it make money? How much funding will it need to grow?
Finally, keep in mind that research is an ongoing process. You need to keep it up to see whether situations have changed. Maybe you want to commit more money to a market or investment, or maybe you want to cut back. The more you know, the better decisions you can make.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) represents the nations that are commonly thought of as developed. The OECD is great for researchers because it collects so much data on economic affairs. Some organizations related to the OECD are the G-7, which stands for the Group of 7 and includes the countries with the world's largest economies; the G-8, which is the G-7 plus Russia; and the G-20, which includes 19 nations and the European Union. These organizations work to promote international financial stability more than international development, and OECD members collect and share information about their economies in order to develop new policies for themselves and to assist in the development of the rest of the world.
The following table contains a list of nations and the organizations each belongs to. The categories can help you think about where to invest.
Much of your success in investing in emerging markets comes from identifying the countries that are growing now and that are likely to continue to grow in the future. Even a mediocre company can grow as it sits in a growing country, but a great company can be held back in a mediocre country. As you look at this list, think about what would it take for a country to move up or down a category? How likely is such a change? What would happen to your investments if such a change took place?
The borders between developed and emerging markets blur, and nations often move between them. Iceland, for example, is an OECD nation that had a strong, developed economy at the end of the 20th century and into the 21st. Several of its major banks collapsed in 2008, taking down its currency and its economic prospects and, for practical purposes, moving it back to emerging markets or even frontier status, at least as of this writing. If you can identify a market that's likely to be promoted, you may find a great market to invest in.
The emerging markets you're interested in may be far from where you live and show up in the news less often or not at all. This lack of exposure can make research difficult and put you at a disadvantage. To get around this situation, consider using an intermediary. The most popular intermediaries are emerging market mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that pool money from many different investors. The fund managers concentrate on emerging markets and have access to research and travel budgets that you may not have. Their job is to find investment opportunities and assess risks so that their clients can make money, so they can devote more time and effort than you may be able to on your own.
If you have a great deal of money to invest, you can work with a private investment fund or a wealth manager with a specialty in emerging markets. A private investment fund is similar to a mutual fund in that it pools money from many different investors, but it may have more flexibility. In exchange, you need to commit a great deal of money.
Some brokers, wealth mangers, and other financial advisors specialize in emerging markets. These people usually charge a percentage of assets under management for their services. Before paying, make sure they're doing the work that they claim to do. Ask to see verified performance records and talk to their references. Otherwise, you may be better off in an emerging market mutual fund, even though it seems less glamorous than having your own personal money guy.
In any market, the easiest way to improve your long-term return and manage your risk is to diversify. If you limit your emerging market investments to the long-term, risk-bearing part of your portfolio, and if you invest in a range of countries and industries, your overall risk is greatly reduced because you have the rest of your portfolio in less-risky, more-liquid assets.
When you diversify, don't just go after a grab bag. Instead, look at a mix of emerging markets. They range from almost developed to barely modern, from natural-resources economies to technology-driven economies, from hard currencies to those that are difficult to exchange. If you have exposure to a little bit of each, then the unique risks in any given market will be offset by unique advantages in others.
A mutual fund or an ETF invests in a variety of securities, but it's not necessarily a diversified investment. Some emerging market funds invest only in one country, and that country's major businesses may all be in the same industry. With such a fund you have more diversification than if you purchase shares of stock in one country, but you aren't well diversified across emerging markets.

Statute of Limitations for Discovery of a Payroll Error

What Happens if an Employee Forgets to Clock Out?
Mistakes happen, but if it's a mistake in payroll, it can be a serious problem. Overpay an employee and your business loses money. Underpay and your employee may file suit if you don't square things. It's possible that even long after you've signed the check, your employee will spot an error and request his money. However, the law sets a two-year limit on how long he has to take action.
Why Mistakes Happen
You may not want to believe you underpaid an employee, but it's easy enough. If you pay some of your staff by the hour and they don't work consistent schedules, you may lose track. Glitches in payroll software or switching from one payroll system to another can leave everyone confused. You may just get caught in a rush and forget to double-check the amounts. An error in a paycheck doesn't mean that either party was cheating.
The federal Department of Labor (DOL) is very clear: Employees have two years to recover any wages lost through underpayment. That's two years from the date when the underpayment took place; if they don't learn about it until five years later, they're out of luck. There's nothing to stop you from making up the shortfall, but it's optional – you're not required to. The DOL does make an exception for deliberate underpayment. In that case, the statute of limitations stretches to three years.
Collecting Overpayments
If you overpaid your employee, the statute of limitations depends on which state's laws apply. In New York State, the clock starts ticking as soon as you tell your employee there's a problem. You can collect overpayments up to eight weeks prior to notification and you have a maximum six years to do so. You can ask the employee to cut you a check or deduct it from her wages.
In Michigan, if you deduct it from later paychecks, you only have six months from the date of the overpayment to collect. Michigan also will not allow you to reduce your employee's gross pay to less than the state or federal minimum wage.
The statute of limitations isn't the only issue to consider. New York and Michigan, for instance, both require you to notify the worker in advance before collecting overpayments from their paychecks. While it's not mandatory, explaining the error and showing the employee the proof may reduce any resentment she might feel. If she's willing to repay but needs a little time because of her own money problems, it might be worth working with her rather than demanding the money ASAP.

The main role of the drug Plavix is to prevent the clotting of blood platelets, which may occur due to certain heart and/or blood vessel conditions. The generic name of Plavix is clopidogrel.
Patients and users can buy Plavix in the form of tablets of two different strengths: Plavix 75mg and Plavix 300mg.
Plavix is indicated for the prevention of blood clots in patients recovering from any heart or blood vessel disorders or any heart attack or stroke. It may also be used for certain other purposes.
Plavix administration should be strictly according to the doctor's prescription. Altering the amounts prescribed by the doctor may lead to serious health issues.
The tablet should be swallowed with a glass of water. It should not be crushed or chewed. Plavix can be taken separately or along with food.
Plavix prevents unnecessary blood clots, and therefore, increases the chances of easy bleeding, i.e. bleeding even due to minor injuries. At times, the bleeding does not seem to stop. A doctor should be contacted should such a thing happen.
Blood tests need to be conducted regularly to monitor the effects of the drug on the body. Lastly, the drug must be stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.
When certain incompatible substances are taken along with Plavix, drug interactions may occur. Before taking substances like other blood clot preventing medications, modafanil, gemfibrozil, cancer medications, fluoxetine, certain HIV medications, seizure drugs, and stomach acid reducers, a doctor should be consulted. Taking any other substance along with Plavix without the doctor's advice is not recommended.
Patients allergic to the ingredients of Plavix should avoid the drug and look for alternate medications. People with any injury or medical condition experiencing active bleeding should also not take the drug.
Patients with certain medical conditions like kidney problems, any existing stomach ulcer, heart issues or any blood clotting trouble should consult a doctor before taking Plavix.
The drug is not known to harm pregnant or breastfeeding women or their children. Even then, it is recommended that such individuals seek the doctor's approval before taking Plavix.

Art works featuring Batman and Winnie the Pooh censored from Australian university art gallery upon Chinese complaints
March 24, 2021 March 24, 2021 Phillip Charlier 1 Comment Australia, censorship, information warfare
Three art works among an exhibition featuring images from dozens of countries were withdrawn from an art gallery on the campus of the Australian National University after Chinese students complained about "racial discrimination" and "humiliation of China."
Three works by artist Luke Cornish featuring Chinese currency bearing the altered images of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping were removed from the exhibition following the complaints.
The exhibition "Don't Shoot the Messenger" by Luke Cornish, running from March 12 to April 15 at the aMBUSH Gallery, in the Kambri district of Australian National University, "challenges viewers with artworks including an upside-down figure of Christ on a cross, and paper currency from dozens of different countries adorned with confronting images," Canberra Times reported, March 15.
Three art works were removed from the exhibition after complaints by Chinese students, according to Hong Kong based Chinese language media source The Stand News, reporting March 23.
One of the works, featuring batman replacing the visage of Mao Zedong on the Renminbi 10 note was removed after complaints, March 18.
Another two, including one featuring Winnie the Pooh strangling his friend Tigger, apparently in reference to the Chinese regime's treatment of the Uighur ethnic group, and another featuring the image of Mao Zedong in reference to the "social credit" system in the communist party ruled state were also removed from the exhibit.
According to The Stand News, Cornish apologized for possible racial perceptions surrounding the piece "Batman," whose purpose was to criticize the regime, and satirize perceptions of the origins of COVID-19 and conspiracy theories related to its origins, the artist said.
But Luke Cornish refused to apologize for the other two works, and did not agree with the aMBUSH gallery in withdrawing the pieces, saying the theme of the exhibition is to criticize governments of various countries for treating people badly, including the government of China.

One thought on "Art works featuring Batman and Winnie the Pooh censored from Australian university art gallery upon Chinese complaints"
Congratulations, commie-pinko idiots. Most folks here in Australia wouldn't have even heard about this exhibition. But now, with your latest "hurt feelings" temper tantrum, everybody will know. You think that is the way to "make friends and influence people?" Better think again. If you can, that is.


So I was thinking about the Whole World PVP aspect of this server and couldn't really find a reason to attack the players of the other factions.
As a suggestion to a solution would be to create points of interrest around Dun Morogh. This could be (Arathi Basin/Alterac Valley) like objectives that would be usefull to the faction that controls them.
(plz can I get a higher rank then Initiate in Blazing)?
That's actually a pretty good idea, maybe an EXP bonus for each point of interest controlled?

On the command line, you can set the time zone by setting the TZ environment variable or the _CS_TIMEZONE configuration string.
Note: If TZ isn't set, the system uses the value of the _CS_TIMEZONE configuration string instead. The POSIX standards include the TZ environment variable; _CS_TIMEZONE is a QNX Neutrino implementation. The description below applies to both.
Various time functions use the time-zone information to compute times relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). You usually set the time on your computer to UTC. Use the date command if the time isn't automatically maintained by the computer hardware.
You can use one or more digits; the value is always interpreted as a decimal number. The hour may be between 0 and 24; the minutes (and seconds), if present, between 0 and 59. If preceded by a "-", the time zone is east of the prime meridian; otherwise it's west (which may be indicated by an optional preceding "+").
The Julian day n (1 <= n <= 365). Leap days aren't counted. That is, in all years—including leap years—February 28 is day 59 and March 1 is day 60. It's impossible to refer explicitly to the occasional February 29.
The dth day (0 <= d <= 6) of week n of month m of the year (1 <= n <= 5, 1 <= m <= 12, where week 5 means "the last d day in month m", which may occur in the fourth or fifth week). Week 1 is the first week in which the dth day occurs. Day zero is Sunday.
The time has the same format as offset, except that no leading sign ("+" or "-") is allowed. The default, if time is omitted, is 02:00:00.
For example, :Asia/Tokyo corresponds to Japanese Standard Time.
Note: Time zones specified in this format require a database that you can obtain from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority at https://www.iana.org/time-zones. Download and untar the archive on your development host, build it following the instructions in the README file, and include the compiled database on your target system. You must install the database in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
Inside a program, you can set the TZ environment variable by calling setenv() or putenv().

Meditation retreats have become increasingly popular in recent years. While considerable effort is put forth by the organizers of these retreats, oftentimes meditators have not adequately prepared, nor do they have a plan for how to best benefit from their experiences afterwards. While the teachers often are incredibly experienced, they may not empathize with the specific trials of modern urban life – its chaos and neuroses abound. If you are someone who's grown up in such a world, learning about the journey through the first ten-day meditation retreat that changed my life can be helpful. This book is the first in a series written to appeal to those interested in the benefits, with full disclosure on my mistakes, what I wish I knew, and an in-depth look at why it was the most life-changing event I've been fortunate enough to experience.
While this series may be applicable to many forms of meditation retreats, it is catered specifically to Vipassana meditation, as taught by S.N. Goenka. This is the meditation technique said to have been practised by Gotama the Buddha, liberating him from suffering and allowing him to achieve enlightenment. I spent ten days in the California desert learning the practice of Vipassana – a technique to see things as they really are, not as they appear to be.
