Be part of the Circular by Design Challenge #2
The second edition of the Circular by Design Challenge is on track. Candidate companies have until 3 December to apply.
Organised by the Luxembourg Creative Industries Cluster of Luxinnovation with the support of the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy, this Circular by Design Challenge aimed at supporting creatives engaged in sustainable and circular achievements.
"The 'Green transition' is a key priority for Luxembourg. Moving from the traditional 'take-make-waste' approach to a circular economy is necessary to succeed in this transition," explains Minister of the Economy Franz Fayot. "This requires designing new products and processes with the circular perspective at the very centre of the process. New innovative solutions are needed in all economic sectors. The creative industries have great potential to contribute with innovative solutions and ideas."
This second edition of the Circular by Design Challenge invites entrepreneurs based elsewhere in Europe to apply for participation in one of the following five categories:
National branding.
"Climate change, global warming, depletion of essential resources: the need for a more sustainable society is urgent," indicates Marc Lis, manager of the Luxembourg Creative Industries Cluster. "We are convinced that creativity has a key role to play and the Circular by Design Challenge puts entrepreneurs and their creative spirit at the centre of the solution-finding process."
Fifteen candidates will be chosen after the selection process, which closes on 3 December. They will then be engaged in an intensive 12-week coaching programme, enabling them to develop their project idea with the support of one of the Challenge's industrial partners and a dedicated coach.
Each winner will also receive an award of EUR 7,000, participation in a 4-week virtual international accelerator programme provided by the US accelerator gener8tor and 6 months of free access to co-working office space.
Former winners speak
Two entrepreneurs who participated in the first edition of the programme earlier this year shared their experience. "If you have an idea or a project, go for it", encouraged Filip Westerlund, Founder and CEO of Our Choice, who won the "Mobility" category with his circular sneakers. "During the programme, we are constantly questioning what we are doing. It's not about what or how, but why. The aim is to do better each time, while keeping a circular mindset. The support we received was a perfect fit and doesn't exist anywhere else."
Marko Klacar, who won the "Product Design" award for his Capriole sustainable coffee fertiliser project, highlighted the essential support of the entire programme team throughout the 12 weeks of coaching. "I came from nothing and this programme has given me a model. We were taught a way of thinking and questioning. As a result, my project got attention and credibility due to the quality stamp offered by the programme."
Submission deadline for ideas: 3 December 2021

Join us at the Bob Cook Memorial Mt. Evans Hill Climb on July 27th, 2019.
The Bob Cook Memorial Mt. Evans Hill climb is an iconic bicycle race that takes place on the highest paved road in the United States. The first annual Mt Evans Hill Climb was run in 1962, and it was renamed in 1981 in honor of five-time race winner Bob Cook, who died of cancer at the age of 23.
The starting point in Idaho Springs is about 45 minutes east of Summit County, and if you fancy yourself a climber, this is one of the "Big Kahunas" of Hill Climbs. It's a 6,630′ of climb from an elevation of 7,500′ all the way up to 14,130.' Climbing between 12,000′ and 14,000′ is dramatically different than climbing from 10,000′ to 12,000′!
WHY RACE THE BOB COOK MEMORIAL MT EVANS HILL CLIMB?
1.Because it is an Epic race and it's attainable.
Think about it – when else will you have the opportunity to climb a 14'er and have full support? There is mechanical support at the Start and on the Summit; there is neutral support on the route; there is a feed zone with people handing you hydration and nutrition; your clothing bag is brought to the Summit and there is a ride down if you aren't comfortable descending. And there is a rocking party at the bottom to celebrate!
2.It is the 54th Anniversary!
It is an epic race that everyone should do at least once.
3.You can race with professional cyclists.
The Mt. Evan Hill Climb has professional cyclists that race in the Tour de France and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. You have the opportunity to race on the same course as those that have made it to the highest level of cycling.
4.It is the Colorado State Hill Climb Championships for Senior Men, Women and Juniors.
Colorado USAC licensed cyclists will compete for the State championships for Senior and Masters Men, Women and Juniors, in 2016!
This is our 54th year — come help us celebrate one of the longest running road races in Colorado!


Sweet summertime in the beautiful Ozarks. I love mornings, the faint night sounds can still be heard, the coolness of the morning, dappled shade and coffee. A shabby chic tablecloth from my collection of tablecloths, and . . . . .
A fresh picked hydrangea, a sprig of ivy in a little bottle and my granddaughter who loves mornings and coffee too.
We must include her doll!

I recently ordered this great spin cup from Amazon for my sweet 3 1/2 year old nephew B. It is awesome in that it the top spins while he is drinking. I love that it encourages him to more water. He loves it and so do I!
I highly recommend this as a great way to encourage kiddos to drink more water, but look out Uncle B liked it too!
I am so excited to be updating our downstairs bathroom. We recently installed the #aquadance 6 function shower head and we love it. The shower is small, really small, so having a fixed mount showered is great because it takes up the least amount of room.
Installation was easy peasy. Just a few minutes and I did it!
This is a 2.5 gallons/minute shower head but also has a water saving function.
Our new Aqua Dance Fixed Mount 6 Function Showerhead in Chrome/Gray not only looks great, but is easy to use. I highly recommend this!
It is summer and lemon is such a wonderful light flavor. It is the essence of summer. I have been craving lemony summery deliciousness. Plus I needed to find a delectable lemon cupcake as I will be making cupcakes for a friends wedding in August. Lemon is one of the flavors I agreed to make. I don't do boxed cake mixes…unless in a dire situation.
When evaluating a lemon cupcake recipe I want something that is light and airy and smack you in the face lemony. I don't want anyone to ask what flavor the cupcakes are. I want you to know right away!
After some Pinterest research I decided to try this Lemon Cupcake Recipe from Cooking Classy. It is a fantastic light airy lemony cupcake recipe. It takes some work in zesting the lemons, but worth it. This is probably one of the best lemon cakes I have ever made. Too often they are short on lemon flavor or coarse and heavy textured.
When these come out of the oven, they are brushed with a beautiful lemon syrup. This adds not only more lemon flavor, but keeps them moist and delicious. If I were making these for a more exclusively adult event, I would probably use limoncello.
Once cooled they are filled with owie-gooey lemon curd. In the middle of my lemon cupcakes is Ina Garten's Lemon Curd. It is easy to make. This is the first time I have made lemon curd, ever. And oh so delicious. The girl LOVES it…I was almost afraid to put it in the fridge to chill, out of concern that she would devour it.
To top off these delectable little numbers I used the lemon butter cream from the Cooking Classy blog and then as a cherry on top—make that lemon slice, I made these fantastic candied lemon slices from Use Real Butter. The only modification I made was that after I let these babies dry for about 18-20 hours, I then rolled them in granulated sugar. They are absolutely beautiful and oh so tasty–and aren't they pretty?
The other types of cupcakes I will be making are: Dark chocolate with Sea Salt Caramel and a classic vanilla; I have some research to do. I am sure my family will gladly participate.
Both hubby and I had been to Devil's Tower when we were kids and loved it. We decided to make a stop at Devil's Tower on our trip from the Black Hills to the Quigley Shoot.
Devil's Tower is located in Northeastern Wyoming-north of Sundance. It is thought to be a volcanic core that has had the surrounding soil eroded from it. We drove from the Black Hills through some awful fog to get to Devil's Tower. It was about 7:30 when we finally arrived at the monument.
We camped at the Belle Fourche Campground within the monument. What a stunning location! Be warned there are no hook ups, but potable water is available throughout. There is also firewood available for a donation. Pets are welcome but must be leashed (as with nearly every campground). Quiet hours begin at 8 p.m. and all generators must be turned off overnight. The sites are all pull through, though took a bit of maneuvering with our 28 foot travel trailer. At $12/night, it is well worth staying at. Plus the cottonwood trees are giant-great shade trees if you are staying more than just an overnight like we did.
In the morning we headed up to the monument headquarters and museum. There is ample parking, though the RV/Trailer Parking is limited.
The Tower is so unique. We hiked the 1.3 mile Tower Trail. After all the hiking we did in the Black Hills, this was a lovely easy walk on a paved trail around the base of the tower. Pushing a stroller on this trail would certainly be doable. Along the way there several signs explaining different facets of the monument. Here you see Brent and N looking at one, clearly N is moved.
On of the most unique things are the prayer bundles placed around the base of the monument by Native American Tribes. These bundles varied from simple to quite elaborate. I must have taken nearly 100 photos. I am thinking that I will do a couple of canvas prints for my wall.
Such a majestic monument. I highly recommend a trip to Devil's Tower. Go, Hike, Enjoy!
While we were planning our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, we decided as a family that we wanted to climb Harney Peak. Harney Peak is the highest point in the state of South Dakota. In fact, it is the highest elevation between the Pyrenees mountains of Spain and the Rocky Mountains.
We purchased a map at one of the NFS visitor centers-I am really glad we did as it was really nice to have while we were on the trail. The map we got is water resistant. We folded it so that the portion of the Hills that we were hiking in was showing.
For the hike we drove to the Sylvan Lake trail head in Custer State Park. We headed off on Trail number 4 toward the Little Devil's Tower Trailhead, past the Cathedral Spires Spur and eventually onto Harney Peak. We took the less strenuous Trail number 9 back down to the parking lot.
This hike isn't for the faint of heart. It was strenuous, but worth every step. My biggest regret is that we didn't do more hiking/walking before hand to be in better shape. We were all pretty sore after our hike, but all of us agree that it was worth it.
On our way we saw several mule deer including this handsome guy. N & E were so excited to tell hikers that we met about the deer in hopes that they could see him as well.
We thought about hiking to the Cathedral Spires, however the clouds were low enough that we thought we wouldn't be able to see anything.
It was a tough hike up to Harney Peak, but what a view!
My suggestions to anyone taking this hike on is to make sure you have LOTS of water! We had about 3 Liters for the 4 of us and it wasn't enough. Bring lots of snacks. Our favorites were beef jerky and our homemade snack bars.
On our trip to Quigley, we spent a day in the Badlands of South Dakota. As a kid we sent a week every summer camping on the Conata Basin. My parents actually spend their honeymoon camping and shooting prairie dogs in South Dakota. Our week on the "Prairie" was something we looked forward to all year long. Some of the people that we camped with out there are life long friends.
I was so excited to take the kids to see this amazing part of our country. We first visited the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. As a kid, I never knew about all the missiles just miles from where we camped. I asked my mom, she said they had no idea about it either. We weren't able to do the tour of the actual missile tower as they were full long before we got there, however the museum/interpretive center was incredibly interesting. I found it very interesting how close we were to a nuclear war and how it was averted.
After we left the Missile site we headed into the Badlands National Park. We drove though the park. We stopped at several of the lookouts and did some hiking. It was fun to see how endless the badlands seem to extend. I highly recommend the Badlands. In fact, I cannot wait to go back and do a longer hike, but we were on our way to our friends' house in the Black Hills and didn't have a ton of time.
The coolest thing—all of these photos were taken using my new iPhone 6!!
As I said before, i have been working hard to replace some of the basic items we use in our home with homemade versions. I love my essential oils and love removing some of the crazy ingredients. I am not a fan of antibacterial soap. I think that we go too far in trying to sanitize our lives.
On a recent trip to Target, we purchased a foaming soap dispenser. A quick Pinterest search and I had a recipe in hand. It seems that there are a ton of recipes, but all are very similar.
It really is just that easy. I love the smell of the peppermint with the orange.
I love my essential oils. I have been working hard at replacing many of the health and beauty products we buy with ones that we make. I finally decided to take on lip balm. I bought 50 of the cute little lip balm tubes off of the internet quite a while ago. They have been sitting in the closet patiently waiting for me to decide what to do with them. It is easier that I thought it would be.
I spent some time yesterday morning sipping the coffee DH made me before he left for work and searching Pinterest for ideas. My favorite lip balm ideas are this recipe from Rambly blog. I guess I need to find some clear labels.
My sweet Belle helped me.
1. The plastic one cup Pampered Chef measuring cup does not make an acceptable double boiler…it melts :(. I had that measuring cup for a long time, in fact when we first got it our lab mix Bailey chewed the handle off, but yet we kept it. Now, I believe that its usefulness is gone and it shall be recycled. Boo.
2. A plastic pipette works great for filling the tubes. It just takes a long time. But it works well and there wasn't a ton of lip balm all over my countertop.
Heat all but the essential oil in a double boiler until the beeswax is melted.
Once melted add in the essential oil and stir well. Using a plastic pipette (or small funnel) fill lip balm tubes. Add caps and place in refrigerator to solidify.
Love this stuff! It is so moisturizing. I love the smooth feel it give my lips. I rubbed a little of the extra into my hands, it makes a great lotion as well. I am thinking that these may be great sticks for using on dry skin.
Now to find a good recipe for lip balm to make with my shea butter, maybe something with a little spearmint in it. Pinterest, look out here I come!

Listener Feedback Rides Again
A peek inside the Skeptoid inbox, ranging from the sane to the insane.
Filed under Feedback & Questions
Once again we're going to dig through the Skeptoid inbox for interesting feedback. These include emails sent to me, comments posted to the online transcripts for the episodes, and also posts to Skeptalk. Anything that looks good.
Just for fun today I'd like to start with the sane feedback, and then move progressively toward the insane. Fortunately the sane people generally have something interesting and helpful to add. My episode on live frogs found encased within ancient stone discussed estivation and hibernation, two ways in which some animals can preserve their resources and minimize their oxygen or water needs. Dr. Brian Paavo is a marine biology consultant in New Zealand, and he offered the following additional information:
Beyond aestivation and hibernation there is another level of 'suspended animation' collectively known as abiosis or cryptobiosis. As the name suggests this is stopping or hiding life — but not permanently... The 'poster-child' taxon for this phenomenon is Tardigrada...water bears. They're very cute, essentially aquatic, animals living in trees (and on glaciers, in lichens, in soil/sand, and in the ocean) in water films. They can simply 'stop' for days without oxygen or other 'necessaries', but they can also collapse into beautiful cyst-like forms (Guidetti et al. 2006) that are incredibly resistant to radiation, high temperatures (I've baked them to 90C and reanimated them), and even acids. They remove all liquid water from their body and to prevent cellular damage, replace it with a simple sugar called trehalose.
Water bears can stay in such a state for decades, and perhaps indefinitely. I did encounter them in my research, but decided to exclude them because we were talking about vertebrates, frogs specifically, and water bears are very, very different. Most are microscopic, some species have only a few hundred cells, and they have open circulatory systems instead of cardiovascular systems. They're extremophiles, and can even live in outer space. Show me the frog that can do that, and we'll revisit the topic. Thanks to Dr. Paavo for this very cool extra information.
So let's move on to some listeners to whom we owe a little less thanks. Dr. Johnston from Inverness, Scotland, seems to be among those who think the misshapen skulls of Peru are not modified deliberately, as has been the practice for more than 9,000 years, but rather that the explanation can only come from alien DNA:
No amount of binding can INCREASE the cranial capacity of skulls, which was estimated to be in the region of 2500 cubic centimeters in these skulls ie TWO AND ONE HALF LITERS! No known human being EVER had such a skull capacity,not even the largest Neanderthal skull.
Neanderthals were not humans. Humans are not even descended from Neanderthals. Dolphins also have large brains; does that also prove that humans must be aliens?
Also they obviously represent related individuals, and look in no way deformed.
Other than being shaped like cucumbers.
There was also another enormous skull (3 liters) which was round and very wide. It did not look in any way pathological.
No, nothing unusual about that at all.
There was obviously something very strange going on around that region, and no amount of so called "academic" disparagement can detract from that fact. Some "scientists", confronted by something which does not fit into their comfortable hypotheses, respond by trundling out some contrived and often ridiculous "explanations". Further research, by impartial scientists should be carried out. DNA should be interesting.
Many ancient cultures have done this. In infancy, while the skull is still pliable, it would be bound with cloth or even pressed between boards to create a great variety of strange shapes. A lot of museums have large collections of these, such as the Museo Regional de Ica and the Museo Nacional de Arqueología Antropología e Historia del Perú, both in Peru, and the American Museum of Natural History, and the Peabody Museum at Harvard. None of these skulls have ever been found to have unusually large endocranial volumes, contrary to Dr. Johnston's misunderstanding. 1300cc to 1600cc is typical among the artificially deformed skulls, the same range as normal adults. They've been so extensively documented that I'm not sure what further work Johnston feels should be carried out.
At least one 3-liter skull has been found, however. It was an ancient Egyptian man who suffered from hydrocephaly. His head had not been artificially deformed and its proportions appeared fairly normal, to a layperson at first glance, anyway. However this poor fellow had a number of other skeletal deformities and was paralyzed on his left side. But so far nobody has found it necessary to classify him as an alien hybrid.
Mike from Asheville, NC had this thoughtful comment on my episode about aspartame:
okay everyone, this brian dunning guy is obviously a troll for big industry/government- every single article of his may as well come out of the mouth of any right-wing washington politician. he only backs up his stories with sources who have a vested interest in the outcomes they report, and therefore is only "toe-ing"(?) the "company line" in every one of his articles, and most of his commenters are stooge-ey yes men who either have a vested interest in the pseudo-science this asshole regurgitates, or who are just brainwashed like so many other people in the world. this fuckin asshole does not remotely deserve the title "skeptic". and that is a personal attack, you fucking piece of shit.
I want to remind you that we're not quite to the crazy emails yet. Mike's on his way there, but he's got a little further to go still. But since Mike has uncovered all of my secrets, I'm going to quickly change the subject in an effort to distract your attention from his discoveries. Let's move on to Chris from Romania, who commented on my episode about Josef Mengele's twin experiments in South America:
Everybody is ready to point the finger at Mengele and Nazis, but its more to them, definitely than the official crappy history "written by victors" lets u know. First of all, between the persons called Joseph Mengele from the concentration camp and Joseph Mengele from the Nurnberg trial (well, it was just a hoax, just like the Warren Comission, but thats another story) there were visible differences. In short, we talk about 2 different persons. And I truly believe the real Mengele was demonized. Keep researching before blaming him or Nazis for "attrocities".
Keep researching before accusing the Nazis of atrocities. So I'm revealing my intellectual laziness by not being a Holocaust denier, is that it, Chris?
Chris does, however, bring up an interesting point about the comparison of photos taken of Josef Mengele at Auschwitz with those taken of him at the Nuremberg Trials. There are notable differences. In Mengele's Nuremberg photographs, he is hazy and ill-defined, almost invisible. This is because he was not there. Mengele was never captured, and died in Brazil in 1979. This could be just more intellectual laziness on my part, so I'd better keep researching.
So now we come to today's final email, and it comes from Conrado in Spain. You can take a look at his website to learn more about him. He had to change the URL because Al-Qaeda "hijacked" his previous one, according to his home page. Conrado was concerned about my episode on the Lucifer Project, a conspiracy claim that the United States intends to crash the Cassini probe into Saturn, causing it to turn into a small sun. Here's what he had to say:
You seem to clearly work for the dark side, and you are an excellent professional, and work very steadfastly, at the art of discrediting, obscuring and poisoning people against the truth, but nevertheless I feel compelled to contact you now respectfully because I presume that, unlike those bloodline individuals at the top of the Illuminati, you still have a soul.
Someone who has been watching my (still incomplete) YouTube video lectures on "2010 and the Lucifer project" has warned me that the Lucifer project is real and indeed on, and, moreover, scheduled for some time before the end of 2010. In fact, this person says that the Illuminati plan to detonate Saturn (using Cassini's plutonium) while it is still in relative conjunction with the Sun, so the Sun absorbs some of the deadly ejected material, meaning now in early October! If such an explosion is indeed possible and happens, the radiation shower on Earth would be devastating, but this person says that those who have faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the only Savior will be miraculously spared. In fact, if I have read this person well, God will see to it that the Earth is not harmed, so the Elite would be mistaken in rushing to their bunkers.
Frankly, there have been so many similar cry-wolf End-of-the-World false alarms that I don't know what to make of all this anymore, but nevertheless I feel I need to pass it on to you. May the Highest Almighty God bless you, and guide you appropriately as to what to do.
I've read this many times and I'm still unclear on what he's trying to tell me. On the one hand he's advising me that this cataclysm is at hand and I should accept Jesus to be miraculously spared; and on the other hand, he's reassuring me that God will see to it the Earth is not harmed, and the "Elite" (presumably including me) need not rush to our bunkers in any event. I guess the latter is what happened, because the October 2010 doomsday has come and gone, and we still have but one sun in the sky.
In the episode, I went into detail why Cassini's RTGs (radioisotope thermal generators) could not cause an atomic blast, and also into only a few of the many reasons why neither Saturn nor any of our other gas giants would be able to achieve sustained nuclear fusion. To counter these obstacles, the Lucifer Project conspiracy theorists have invented their own versions of various natural sciences under which these things could happen; in effect, written their own fictional novel that takes place in a fictional universe. It's too bad that Arthur C. Clarke beat them to it with 2001: A Space Odyssey, or they could have made some money.

On whistleblower complaint, Pompeo says U.S. State Department acted appropriately
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a press conference at the Palace Hotel on the sidelines of the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, New York, U.S., September 26, 2019. REUTERS/Darren Ornitz
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday said he had not yet fully read the whistleblower complaint about U.S. President Donald Trump's interactions with the leader of Ukraine but that he believed the State Department had acted appropriately.
"To the best of my knowledge and from what I have seen so far, each of the actions that were undertaken by State Department officials was entirely appropriate," Pompeo told a news conference.
The whistleblower report released on Thursday said Trump not only abused his office in attempting to solicit Ukraine's interference in the 2020 U.S. election for his own political benefit, but that the White House also tried to "lock down" evidence about that conduct. Trump has denied wrongdoing.
The report references State Department officials and ambassadors, some by name.
Pompeo said the Trump administration has sought to "create a better relationship between the United States and Ukraine and build on the opportunities to tighten our relationship and help end corruption in Ukraine."

– Household customers hurrying to search out dream properties right before desire prices go higher typically flip to on line mortgage loan calculators offered by personalized finance and housing web sites to get a really feel for just how dreamy a home they might manage.
"Most online mortgage loan calculators slide wanting providing all the knowledge you should estimate a home payment," claimed Bob Harkson, a Qualified economic planner with Section two Wealth Advisors in Gig Harbor, Washington.
Philip A. Seagraves, an economics and finance professor at Center Tennessee State College Jones School of Enterprise puts it a lot more pungently.
Calculators normally leave out important prices and supply inaccurate estimates of Other people, As outlined by critics.
"Taxes, insurance policies, homeowner association dues or condo administration charges, utilities and normal maintenance are variables not accounted for in regular property finance loan calculators," reported Sonu Mittal, head of property property finance loan lending for Citizens Financial institution in Providence, Rhode Island.
Residence taxes are frequently the most important omission. Many on the web calculators have only a few enter fields — home loan total, curiosity fee and quantity of several years. The ensuing payment includes only principal and desire.
Still every month payments commonly contain a sizable contribution to an escrow fund for annual house taxes. Residence taxes vary significantly based upon area tax charges, but can amount of money to Countless dollars a year, including hundreds a month towards the property finance loan payment.
Insurance plan is another critical merchandise frequently skipped. The prices of the homeowners' insurance coverage plan is normally also collected month to month into an escrow fund from which the yearly top quality is compensated annually.
"Not just home and casualty insurance policies but, dependent where you live, it could require hurricane or flood coverage," Harkson said. All advised, insurance policies premiums may perhaps increase many pounds per month to your month-to-month payment.
Private property finance loan insurance policies may very well be necessary for loans when borrowers Never place down at least twenty per cent. With annual rates amounting to about one p.c from the personal loan total, this much too can easily make the primary difference With regards to affordability.
In combination with these frequent charges unaccounted for by a lot of home loan calculators, month-to-month payments could also involve points and other closing prices that are not paid out in money at closing.
Last but not least, Even though they are not part of the property finance loan payment and can vary broadly by individual home, utilities and repair service expenditures must also be regarded as by savvy homeowners when choosing the amount they can pay for to spend.
House shoppers armed with a lot less-than-correct payment estimates are setting on their own up for failure. "They may notice that they do not qualify for the financial loan or for your house They are thinking about right up until It can be far too late in the game," Mittal stated.
Even worse, They might qualify for your bank loan that they later on obtain they cannot manage simply because their estimates ended up off. "When you have variables within a model that can go up or down and all are Completely wrong within the draw back, you do have a huge dilemma," claimed Seagraves.
On the net calculators are hardly the last phrase On the subject of determining your payments. House loan brokers and lenders are lawfully required to give borrowers a bank loan estimate kind that features estimated taxes and insurance policies and also desire and principal payments.
Borrower should really receive the bank loan estimate within 3 days of publishing an software. This is still an estimate and borrowers is not going to know their real payment for the penny right up until closing.
However the lender's mortgage estimate is probably extra correct than any on the net calculator.
Until eventually they get their financial loan estimate, home buyers can perform across the shortcomings by Selecting the correct Resource.
On line calculators encouraged by real estate finance experts for their capacity to involve a broader choice of expenditures consist of those at Bankrate, NerdWallet, DinkyTown, Realtor and Zillow.
Eventually, Seagraves advises against any on the web calculator. He favors spreadsheets.
"Essentially the most elementary spreadsheets that operate on Android or iPhone units can do an even better occupation of calculating home loan payments than the online calculators," he claimed.
Even the top calculators need accurate, existing figures for taxes, insurance policies along with other costs. Mark Burrage, govt director of mortgage loan electronic encounter for USAA in San Antonio, says the ideal results call for figures unique to someone home.
"Till you even have a house, It really is tough to get down into all the costs," Burrage mentioned. For getting everything he suggests cautiously scrutinizing the residence listing and quizzing housing brokers, taxing authorities, insurance policies brokers and the current proprietor.

Ptica sekretar (lat. Sagittarius serpentarius) je jedini pripadnik porodice Sagittariidae.

Iako je jedina preživjela vrsta, fosilni ostaci najmanje dvije vrste koje liče na pticu sekretara nađeni su u Francuskoj i potječu iz razdoblja oligocena i miocena, prije najmanje 20 milijuna godina. Nastanjuje savane, stepe i ostala otvorena staništa subsaharske Afrike. Zbog izgleda mješanca rode i ptice grabljivice, kao i zbog svoje neobičnosti svrstan je u zasebnu porodicu.

Opis
Ova ptica dostiže visinu i do 1,2 m i ima duge ružičaste noge slične rodinim, a raspon krila je 2,1 m. Težina 3,4-4,2 kg. Dugo i pri vrhu crno ukrasno perje na njenom potiljku liči na pera za pisanje koja su koristili činovnici u XIX. stoljeću - otuda njen naziv.

Opisan je kao "orao pješak" jer kukce, zmije i male glodavce lovi na tlu. Neprobavljene ostatke povrati u vidu loptica i izbacuje ih ispod mjesta gdje spava i gnijezdi se.

Iako najveći dio vremena provodi na zemlji, ova ptica je dobar letač, i često lebdi ispruženih nogu i vrata. Čak može praviti spektakularne manevre u zraku kao i orlovi. Drugi oblik ponašanja, koji možda služi za obranu teritorija ili kao igra dva ptića, je kada jedna ptica trči za drugom dignutih krila, udarajući i skačući na nju. Mlade jedinke su vrlo slične odraslima, osim što je njihovo perje sa smeđim šarama i što im je bijeli dio ispod krila i repa prošaran sivom bojom.

Ptice sekretari su monogamni i teritorijalni. Jedan par može zauzeti teritorij veličine 20-200 kvadratnih kilometara. Gnijezdo je na drveću ravne krošnje; obično nisko na bodljikavim akacijama. Ptica nese 1-3 zelenkasto-bijela jaja. Inkubacija traje 42-46 dana.

Elżbieta (II) Erykówna (ur. najwcz. 1463, zm. po 22 października 1516) – prawdopodobna, druga o tym imieniu córka Eryka II, księcia wołogoskiego, słupskiego i szczecińskiego oraz Zofii.

Jej postać identyfikowana jest z córką Eryka II i Zofii. Z zachowanych dokumentów klasztornych wynika, że była ksienią klasztoru w Krumminie, a następnie przełożoną benektynek w Verchen, gdzie pozostał po niej testament sporządzony 22 października 1516. Wkrótce, jeszcze w tym samym roku zmarła. Pochowano ją w kościele klasztornym w Verchen.

The Netherlands Polar Programme (Nederlands Polair Programma or NPP) is the Dutch Antarctic and Arctic research programme. It is administered by the Dutch Research Council based in The Hague in the Netherlands. The programme is positioned in the framework of the Netherlands' Polar Strategy and is funded by a coalition of five ministries of the Dutch government and the Dutch Research Council. It periodically publishes its own research programme strategy titled PolePosition-NL.

History

The Netherlands Polar Programme was established as the Netherlands Antarctic Programme in 1984 and was one of the arguments for granting the Netherlands consultative status in the Antarctic Treaty System in 1990. The Netherlands became the first party to the Antarctic Treaty to obtain this status without its own research station in the Antarctic region. The Netherlands Arctic Programme was founded in 2002, after the Netherlands had obtained observer status in the Arctic Council in 1998. The two separate polar programmes merged in 2011 at the launch of the joint strategy plan PolePosition-NL 1.0.

In 2013 the Netherlands Polar Programme opened the Dirck Gerritsz Laboratory at Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island, on the Pacific side of the Antarctic Peninsula. It has a life expectancy of 25 years. Rothera was visited by the Crown Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Princess Máxima in 2009, in recognition of the good scientific collaboration of British and Dutch researchers.

The programme funds the Dutch research facility in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. The Arctic Centre of the University of Groningen operates the research facility in cooperation with Kings Bay AS.

Activities
The Netherlands Polar Programme's chief task is to fund polar research that is carried out at circa fifteen universities and public institutes in the Netherlands. To this end, it regularly opens calls for proposal that are normally open to Dutch researchers only. It has also funded several consortium calls and calls tailored to unique endeavors, such as the Fourth International Polar Year in 2007–2008, MOSAiC Expedition in 2019-2020 and the SEES.nl expeditions to Edgeøya, Svalbard in 2015 and 2022.

In addition to research funding, the programme manages the Dirck Gerritsz Laboratory and two standing partnerships with the British Antarctic Survey and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, which date back to the 1980s.

The Netherlands Polar Programme is the national coordinator of the Dutch representation in the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs, International Arctic Science Committee, European Polar Board, Forum of Arctic Research Operators and Arctic Funders Forum. It also funds the Dutch participation in four of the Arctic Council working groups.

The NPP secretariat acts as the contact point for international polar research funding, governance and support.

A Polar Symposium is held annually and is usually co-organised by the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists Netherlands.

It's the time of the year to pack up the family and head on vacation! Whether your destination of choice is the beach, the mountains, or Disneyland, all that matters is spending quality time with loved ones.
Certain BYOD solutions provide a buffer between work and personal information, allowing users to easily check what work items they need to, and then disconnect quickly. For instance, with ZixOne, you can check work email in a separate app from your personal email account, eliminating the urge to check work email when simply checking your personal account.
Would you like to fill that extra space in your travel bag with that new summer outfit or a work-issued device? BYOD allows you to take one device with you on vacation and leave that clunky computer or phone at home.
When on vacation, occasionally having easy access to work email is actually a good thing. Setting aside a few minutes to read through emails, either early in the morning or after the kids go to bed, allows you to stay connected and limits the dread of going back to a full inbox.
While it may not be on most employees' minds, traveling can expose your devices to a number of security risks. Whether you lose your phone or connect to a rogue Wi-Fi network, there is a chance sensitive corporate data can be intercepted. With ZixOne, no corporate email resides on the phone. Instead it is securely accessed through the cloud and password-protected through the ZixOne app.
Working on vacation is not ideal, but with the right tools and self-control, it can be done efficiently and help ease the stress of returning to the office.
Here's to a great summer vacation!

UK's Cameron May Call Out the Troops and Restrict Social Media
Increasingly frustrated by the rioting and civil unrest, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, is considering many measures, including possibly the use of the military:
U.K. Considers Riots Measures
Wall Street Journal – 11 August 2011

UK Prime Minister Proposes Social Media Ban for London Rioters
PC Magazine – 11 August 2011
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Scotland Yard and intelligence agencies are considering a ban on social media for those known to be plotting violence.
UK may use army in future riots-Cameron Reuters 11 August 2011
Britain will crack down on gangs and may call in army support if this week's riots are repeated, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday, saying he would not allow a "culture of fear" to exist on the streets.
The United Kingdom has arrested about 1200 so far in conjunction with the situation there–and now the Prime Minister promises to hunt for many of the rest of them. The USA will have its own riots and will almost assuredly be willing to call out troops to deal with them. I have long expected government censorship (including the internet and perhaps other forms of social media) in the USA as well. The fact that the UK Prime Minister wants a social media ban is a concern, but not a surprise as I reported the use of social media was a concern in London, Philadelphia, and Syria (see Facebook Riots).
Before the Great Tribulation, and after the start of the beginning of sorrows, Jesus reported:
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:12-14)
Rioting and criminal behavior suggest an increase in lawlessness. But Christians need to endure to the end AND support the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom to the world as a witness AND then the end, meaning the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21) and end of the Anglo-powers (Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 11:39), will come.
I will again gone on record to declare that I believe that stopping/interfering some of us in the Living Church of God to get out our message on the internet and/or other media is likely to be something that the USA and perhaps other governments will do as we get closer the the time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7)–for where this may fit in the biblical prophetic sequence, check out Herbert W. Armstrong's, LCG's, and my comments in the article Who is the King of the North?.
As far as the Anglo-nations go, something I read in a secular financial source was of interest:
…the ongoing, slow motion collapse of the Anglo-Saxon Empire, centered predominantly around the Eurozone and in the United States of America (Bowman J. From Riot to Riches: A look at the upside-down world economy and its violent reversion. Daily Reckoning, August 10, 2011).
Thus, the above author has noticed that the Anglo-Saxon powers are in the process of collapse, and he is right about that. And while the process currently will look slow to many, sudden destruction will come (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Habakkuk 2:7-8). While I have tended to quote Habakkuk concerning the debts of the Anglo-nations, notice that the violence in their lands will also be a factor in their destruction:
7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men's blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it. (Habakkuk 2:7-8)
There is violence in the UK, and there will be more violence in the USA (I also consider certain that sports are inappropriate violence in the land and the cities of the Anglo-descended nations). Destruction will come.
While there will be problems in the Eurozone (Daniel 2:42-43) and the UK will not remain part of it as it has been, the end of Anglo-Saxon dominance is coming. It will still take some time, but the process has begun.
Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work? Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from evangelists?
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the Emphasis of Jesus and the Early Church Did you know that? Do you even know what the gospel of the kingdom is all about? True religion should be based upon the true gospel.

Definition and Examples of Radial Symmetry

B.S., Natural Resources, Cornell University
Jennifer Kennedy, M.S., is an environmental educator specializing in marine life. She serves as the executive director of the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation.
Radial symmetry is the regular arrangement of body parts around a central axis.
Definition of Symmetry
First, we should define symmetry. Symmetry is the arrangement of body parts so they can be divided equally along an imaginary line or axis. In marine life, the two main types of symmetry are bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry, although there are some organisms that exhibit biradial symmetry (e.g., ctenophores) or asymmetry (e.g., sponges).
Definition of Radial Symmetry
When an organism is radially symmetrical, you could cut from one side of the organism through the center to the other side, anywhere on the organism, and this cut would produce two equal halves. Think of a pie: no matter which way you slice it, if you slice from one side to the other through the center, you'll end up with equal halves. You can continue slicing the pie to end up with any number of equal-sized pieces. Thus, the pieces of this pie radiate out from the central point.
You can apply the same slicing demonstration to a sea anemone. If you draw an imaginary line across the top of a sea anemone starting at any one point, that would divide it into roughly equal halves.
Pentaradial Symmetry
Echinoderms like sea stars, sand dollars, and sea urchins exhibit a five-part symmetry called pentaradial symmetry. With pentaradial symmetry, the body can be divided into 5 equal parts, so any one of five "slices" taken out of the organism would be equal. In the feather star shown in the image, you can see five distinctive "branches" radiating from the star's central disk.
Biradial Symmetry
Animals with biradial symmetry show a combination of radial and bilateral symmetry. A biradially symmetrical organism can be divided into four parts along a central plane but each of the parts is equal to the part on the opposite side but not the part on its adjacent side.
Characteristics of Radially Symmetrical Animals
Radially symmetrical animals have a top and bottom but don't have a front or back or distinctive left and right sides.
They also have a side with a mouth, called the oral side, and a side without the mouth called the aboral side.
These animals typically can move in all directions. You can contrast this to bilaterally symmetrical organisms like humans, seals or whales, who usually move forward or backward and have a well-defined front, back and right and left sides.
While radially symmetrical organisms can move easily in all directions, they may move slowly, if at all. Jellyfish primarily drift with waves and currents, sea stars move relatively slowly compared to most bilaterally symmetrical animals, and sea anemones barely move at all.
Rather than a centralized nervous system, radially symmetrical organisms have sensory structures scattered around their body. Sea stars, for example, have eyespots at the end of each of their arms, rather than in a "head" region.
One advantage of radial symmetry is that it may make it easier for organisms to regenerate lost body parts. Sea stars, for example, can regenerate a lost arm or even an entirely new body as long as a portion of their central disk is still present.
Examples of Marine Animals With Radial Symmetry
Marine animals that exhibit radial symmetry include:

Flame On A Mission To Put Buffalo On The Map
Jul 27, 2006 buffalo, daniel rouse, flagrant, flame, ny, Putcha Hands Up, sonny vegas
Daniel Rouse, aka Flame, is a young emcee that has been proving that New York City isn't the only place in the state that has talent; Flame is from Buffalo, New York and has been giving the NYC hip-hop scene a run for its money.
At only 20 years of age, Flame already boasts an impressive resume; features in The Source, URB, Yellow Rat Bastard, and Fader Magazine; inclusion of two of his tracks used in the HBO series Unscripted; a resounding victory in NYC's infamous live MC battle Fight Klub. Most recently, Flame teamed up with Stat Quo and Slim Thug on the street anthem "Putcha Hands Up". While Flame can mix it up with anyone in the street hip-hop game, he has an emotional maturity and understanding of the game that is rare for someone his age.
So far, 2006 has been a busy year for Flame. He's been courted by labels, recording songs in Buffalo and NYC, and trying to keep everything in perspective. "I'm just trying to make good music that will stand the test of time. I'm only 20 and a lotta my people didn't make it to 18. I gotta make the right moves for me, my fam, the memory of them and put my town on the map." Expect to hear a lot more from Flame very soon…

the velvet bird: Meet my OTHER new friend!!
Meet my OTHER new friend!!
A little bit before leaving for our Washington Christmas trip, I got tattooed! It's not finished yet, I'm going back in really soon to get the old flowers redone to match the style a little better and finish a background/frame. But I thought I would share my progress as we go along! I had been thinking and thinking for most of the year about what I wanted to get. Well when I came across this Etsy shop, I knew right away that one of those illustrations would be on my arm forever. Eventually, this guy spoke to me...just look at those eyes and you try and say no. I am now a lifelong fan of Berkley Illustration.
For the life of me, a picture would just not turn out no matter how hard we tried. Tattoos usually look BETTER in pictures! Oh well, these will just have to do for now.
Oh, you should also know that Patrick named my new tattoo while he was being created. George, George Cooney.
My fear of needles verges on a very serious phobia, just ask anyone who has ever had the misfortune of giving me a shot. So I HATE needles and getting tattooed, its terrible but I've got plans for a lot more. I'm an idiot.
I would like to take a moment to ask all of you lovely, lovely (and extremely appreciated and cherished) readers... what would you like to see more of on this blog? I would like this place to be more well rounded- more cooking, crafts, DIY, fashion, etc. So I thought I'd ask what you'd like to see in the near future!
I`d like to see more of everything...more tattoos, more diy`s, and beautiful pictures!
this is gorgeous! berkley illustration has some really amazing prints; they actually sold at urban outfitters for a bit. i'd love to know who did your tattoo!
Your tattoo is awesome!! My fiance and I are getting tattoos as wedding presents to each other.. I'm still brainstorming what I want though! Your artist was really, really good.
yeah! more of everything! I would like to see more!
woahh! i love that! it's so amazing.
Oh wow! This is so amazing! What a beautiful piece! I love the nickname for it too. I lovew how your blog is already, but always fall for your outfit posts. So more of those would be great!
You have such great style, I would love to see more fashion posts.
aww i love it! very cute!! i'm deathly afraid of needles too. it's bad. so i completely understand about getting shots. i doubt i'll ever be able to get a tattoo so you've got me beat. ha!
This looks fantastic! I love Ryan Berkley, and this is one of my favorite portraits of his.
I have the same oxymoronic problem with tattoos and needles. I love my tattoo and want more, but the thought of a shot makes me nauseous and sweaty. Yes, we are retarded (but we look so good with ink!).
that's such a cute tattoo! i would love a tattoo post (if you haven't done so already) so we get to see all the ones you have, they look very interesting!!
Just keep being you. that's what I want to see more on your blog!

How to Loosen Roller Skate Wheels
How to Remove Bike Pegs
How to Adjust the Idle on an Evinrude
By Steve Bradley
Loosening roller skate wheels, or tightening them, is a simple job. Roller skates consist of a boot attached to a "truck" that contains four wheels with ball bearings. The wheels are arranged in the same way as on a car, as opposed to inline skates, where the wheels form a blade shape. Roller skates generally are best for younger children leaning to skate, so tightening or loosening the wheels becomes a common job. You can tighten or loosen the tension nuts to vary the amount of control you need.
Turn over the skate so it is wheel-side up. Find the external tension nuts. There will be one at each end of the wheel axles.
Use a socket wrench set. The typical socket size needed to loosen skate wheels is 1 1/16-inch, but skate models vary.
Attach the wrench to the bolt, and turn the handle back and forth until the nut reaches the desired tension.
Aim for a medium level of tightness. Test it with your fingers once you have finished with the wrench. Loosen or tighten as desired.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 on the remaining three nuts, then try on the skate. If it feels comfortable, repeat the entire process on the second skate truck.
The tighter the wheels, the less mobility you'll have, which can lead to injury. Test the skates before going a long distance.

Democratic values that protected Indonesian rainforests now need saving, too
in Agriculture, Asia, Climate Change, Conservation, Culture, ECO News, Environment, Featured, Government, Indonesia, Politics, Regions
When Mika Ganobal, a 35-year-old civil servant, mounted the top of a van in the ramshackle town of Dobo to rouse a crowd of protesters, in 2013, it was an act that said much about how Indonesia had changed in its first 15 years of democracy.
Two decades earlier, the form of mass demonstration he helped organize, with thousands of people flooding the streets to protests against the government and a private company, would have been unthinkable. The tight grip of the authoritarian Suharto regime, and the constant threat of state violence, would have suppressed the very idea.
The act said just as much about how Indonesia had not changed. Almost a decade after they had elected their own district head, for the first time, the people of Aru discovered that that district head had sought to lease the majority of their land to investors, to be cleared for a giant sugar plantation.
The most immediate failing in democracy was apparent: a politician, elected by these people, had taken a decision so manifestly against their wishes, and entirely without their consent. Direct elections, at least in Aru, had delivered a leader taking decisions in the interests of a private investor above those of his constituents.
The 28 licenses issued by Theddy Tengko to the Menara Group covered two thirds of the Aru Islands.
In most cases where community land is granted to private corporations in Indonesia, whether for mining or plantations, a deeper malaise usually sets in. District and provincial parliaments, police and ministries all act to support the transfer of land to investors, without the consent of the people. With thousands of conflicts over land across the country, many communities that push back fail to break through the noise and attract the attention of the media or influential institutions in the capital, Jakarta.
The breakdown in democratic accountability begins with local officials who exercise direct control over land. But almost all of the bodies that should subsequently act as a check on power, in a functioning democracy, fail too.
In Aru something different happened. Eight months after the movement was born, through a sophisticated campaign chronicled in-depth in "Saving Aru," a recent article by The Gecko Project and Mongabay, the Aruese forced the government to cancel the project. They protested, gained media attention, deployed the new potential of social media, obtained the backing of district and provincial politicians, secured parliamentary hearings, and forced influential institutions to look into the case, before the project was finally killed by a government minister.

The obvious question is whether the methods the Aruese deployed could be replicated in other localized social movements to defend land rights in Indonesia. It's a question that arises at an important inflection point in the nation's political history, as the government embarks on an assault on the very things that helped save Aru. As Indonesia moves into its third decade of democracy, then, does it become more or less likely that other movements like it will win?
Saving Aru
From the very beginning, the sugar plantation project should have sounded alarm bells. The first permits for the project were issued by the district head, Theddy Tengko, just one month before he was charged with corruption for embezzling millions of dollars from the state budget. They were issued less than a week before he stood for re-election, in a campaign in which he was accused of illegally distributing money to voters.
Theddy was later convicted of corruption over his raids on the district budget, but there was no scrutiny of his decision to grant licenses across two-thirds of the entire district. The Aruese activists would later discover he had issued them illegally, without a legally required, public assessment of how the project would impact the people and environment of the district.
The project, the brainchild of a corrupt politician, ran roughshod over the rule of law and any safeguards the Aruese might have hoped would protect them.

The Save Aru activists unearthed and repeatedly exposed the illegalities, the flawed science underpinning the project, and the groundswell of opposition to it. They broke through into the public consciousness by using social media platforms that buzzed with news, photos and graphics, generating attention across Indonesia and abroad.
They cleverly marshaled this attention to secure the backing of scientists, the biggest university in the provincial capital, the Protestant Church of Maluku, a provincial legislator named Mercy Barends, two national NGOs, and a famous R&B artist. Before long these individuals and institutions, and not just the activists, were all loudly outing the improprieties.
This helped them catch the attention of government watchdogs in Jakarta, notably an influential presidential agency, known as UKP4, and the Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK. These wielded influence and, more importantly, teeth; the KPK's record in arresting officials from the upper echelons of the state has earned it fear and respect in equal measure.
The Aru activists attracted the attention from across Indonesia and the world through social media. Their supporters set messages of support via Twitter, through photos in which they held up the hashtag #SaveAru.
In the end, it was Zulkifli Hasan, then the minister of forestry, who canceled the project, just as he was signing off on the destruction of vast areas of forest and indigenous lands elsewhere in Indonesia.
That they were able to win depended in large part on the attention of powerful agencies. But it was this ecosystem of other actions — protest, media attention, online petitions, the support of politicians and "softer" institutions — that brought that pressure to bear. In that respect, no one thing killed the project. It was a groundswell of public opposition, filtered through multiple principles that can only thrive in a democratic society.
The methods used by the Aruese (outlined in more detail in a separate article by The Gecko Project and Mongabay) may hold lessons for any community facing the same challenge. Few campaigns are likely to generate the same level of attention that Save Aru did. But the principles of gathering and ruthlessly exposing evidence, intelligent use of social media, and of seeking support wherever it can be found, could still have an effect.
Yet Aru is also a cautionary tale. The lengths the activists had to go to, to secure the cancellation of a project so demonstrably flawed, exposed a political system functioning largely in the interests of the powerful.
What happened next, on the national stage, tells us that the political establishment in Indonesia were fully aware that was the case. And events in the past few weeks show how the fight to change this system is as vital now as it ever has been.
Saving democracy
The project was cancelled just months before President Joko Widodo took office in 2014. He was the first president to come from outside the military or political elite, elected on a wave of belief that he would re-inject energy into reformasi, the transition to democracy.
Millions of indigenous people believed a campaign promise that he would recognize and protect 12.7 million hectares of customary land, safeguarding them from precisely the kind of top-down project that threatened Aru. In the nine priorities for his administration he promised "clean, effective, democratic and reliable governance," restoring faith in democratic institutions, and a reform of the "system and law enforcement" to rid them of corruption.

The statements were clear. Jokowi, as he is known, would redress the balance of power through the infrastructure of government, making both politicians and the oligarchs who controlled land, plantations and mines accountable to the disempowered. It was made clear in particular that he would strengthen the hand of the KPK, the nation's most trusted institution, which had done more than any other to blunt the worst instincts of the political elite.
But neither the promised land rights reform nor the rebalancing of power through institutions ever arrived. Communities continued to lose their land, and land rights conflicts simmered unresolved through Jokowi's first term. As it drew to a close he finally froze new permits for palm oil plantations, a particularly virulent driver of human rights abuses. But that measure is a sticking plaster that doesn't address the systemic problems the Aruese and so many others have fought against.
In the past few weeks, on the cusp of Jokowi's second term, that balance of power has lurched further in the wrong direction. The national parliament launched an assault on the very laws and institutions they needed to reinforce. Representatives have pursued a broad and swift legislative agenda that, critics in civil society say, will ease the transfer of rights and resources from the poor and increase the prospects that those who push back will face criminalization at the hands of the police.
Above all, an amendment to the Corruption Law threatens to "destroy" the KPK, attacking "the very institutional features and powers" the KPK deployed against the powerful. As recently as March this year, the KPK itself had proposed a quite different set of reforms, one that would criminalize the corrupt sell-off of land by politicians through influence trading and force courts to take the social and environmental impact of corruption into account.
This government assault on the state only diminishes the prospect that other campaigns like Save Aru can succeed, by eroding the few features of the system that worked in favor of the Aruese. But there are parallels between the response to the government actions in Aru, in 2013, and across the country today. Just as the people of Aru once flooded the streets of Dobo, tens of thousands of students took to the streets across the country to object to the assault on democracy.
Student protesters in the streets of Jakarta, in front of the parliament building, in September 2019
The measures the students are demonstrating against almost all entrench the power of elite interests, by diminishing civil liberties and the capacity of ordinary citizens to defend the disempowered. They also emerged in part because of a disaffection with Jokowi, the "good" leader who was supposed to defend those principles. His actions are a profound illustration that democratic health cannot be invested in the executive branch, but must rest in the institutions that pull against any powerful leader, amplifying their good instincts and taking the sting out of their worst.
Indeed, the students have articulated a broad and considered set of demands, aimed at balancing the power of the government, stemming the environmental destruction it has overseen, and preventing the criminalization of communities who stand up against it. The fight for rural communities in Aru, and places like it, is now at the heart of the national consciousness. Their actions reveal that a deep belief in the same principles is coursing across Indonesian society.
In both cases the protests captured the attention of a global audience. In 2014, international attention helped push agencies in Jakarta to focus their attention on the fate of Aru. Today it may help focus the thoughts of the new Jokowi administration, to recognize that corruption and human rights violations could hamper its vision for economic development. A coalition of almost 100 organizations from across the world has urged the government to uphold anti-corruption principles agreed in international forums.
Ultimately, the Save Aru campaign is a reminder that even in the most unlikely circumstances, social movements can hold government to account, even when the levers of power are gripped firmly by the powerful.
Since the fall of Suharto, Indonesia has been held up as a successful democracy in large part due to its free and fair presidential elections. The actions of Theddy Tengko a decade ago, and Jokowi today, reveal the limitations of elections as a tool of accountability. They show that democracy doesn't reside in an elected leader, but in the people and institutions who could hold them to account.

Q: Reusing react components across projects I want to split my web project into three: front-end, back-end and super-admin.
What is the best way to re-use the components across code bases? Npm packages? That seems hard to maintain:

*

*Open component dev package

*Make changes

*Push changes

*Tag version

*Update all projects

Seems complex and prone to errors. Is there a better way?

A: Depends on if you need to use different versions of the shared components from different projects. If so, you probably need to make a versioned npm package. However, if you just want to share the packages and use the same version everywhere, you have other options. For one, you don't have to actually build and publish an npm packge, you can just use npm link. This will basically create a symlink to your shared code in node_modules of the other projects.
Alternatively, you can do it without any npm package at all, just have the shared components in a separate project (directory) and import them in javascript through an alias, using a bundling system (webpack alias / browserify aliasify).

If you read our site much, you know we post stories about weird science stuff on occasion. Most of that stuff is cool and doesn't creep me out at all, unless we are talking about robots that look like Hector from Saturn 3. This story I find more than a bit creepy.
As it turns out, Bambi and her kind aren't strictly the herbivores we thought they were. A number of years back, scientists studying certain types of birds in North Dakota found that deer often supplement their diets with birds. The thought of a deer gnashing on a live bird really disturbs me for some reason.
The scientists recorded videos of deer walking up to a "Mist-net", which is a net used to capture birds and bats alive for study and tagging, and eating the birds alive. They ate the birds right off the net! The team also recorded deer eating nesting birds right out of nests they could reach near the ground. I'll never look at deer the same way again.
