Cooking a perfect steak is easy to do at home when you use one of these proven methods.
This is our favorite method to prepare thicker steaks- a quick skillet sear followed by an oven finish to desired doneness.
Filet of NY York Steak 1.5" 19 to 26 min. 26 to 30 min.
Filet of Ribeye (10 oz.) 1.75" 14 to 23 min. 24 to 30 min.
Filet of Ribeye (6 oz.) 1.5" 12 to 15 min. 15 to 18 min.
Petite Tenderloin Filet (6 oz.) 1.5" 9 to 14 min. 15 to 19 min.
Tenderloin Filet (8 oz.) 1.5" 14 to 19 min. 19 to 25 min.
Searing is faster and more appropriate than oven-broiling for thinner, tender cuts of beef. No water or fat is added to the pan, except in the case of seasoning "new" cast iron. Drippings from beef should be removed if and when they accumulate.
Heat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, heat 12-inch cast iron skillet* over medium heat until hot. Season steaks with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend; place steaks in skillet.
Brown steaks 4 minutes, turning once.
Place skillet into preheated oven; cook according to chart, turning once. Remove from oven when internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium doneness.
Traditional Ribeye (14 oz.) 1" 10 to 15 min. 16 to 21 min.
This is our favorite method to prepare thicker steaks, particularly the impressive Double R Ranch Cowboy Chop. A quick skillet sear followed by an oven finish to desired doneness.
Cowboy Chop Bone-In Ribeye (Serves 2) 2 lbs (2 inches thick) 40 to 50 min. 51 to 61 min.
Direct heat grilling is cooking food directly over the heat source throughout the entire cooking process. This method is great for steaks that are 1" or less in thickness.
Cap of Ribeye 1 lb 12 oz. 8 to 16 min. 17 to 26 min.
Filet of Ribeye (6 oz.) 1.5" 12 to 17 min. 18 to 24 min.
Petite Tenderloin Filet (6 oz.) 1.5" 13 to 18 min. 19 to 24 min.
Traditional Ribeye (14 oz.) 1" 9 to 14 min. 15 to 20 min.
Indirect heat uses the heat and the smoke of the grill to cook low and slow. Essentially, an oven is created in the grill. This method is best for thicker steaks. This method is great for our thick-cut steaks.
Cowboy Chop Bone-In Ribeye (Serves 2) 2" 42 to 52 min. 53 to 63 min.
Filet of Ribeye (10 oz.) 1.75" 24 to 30 min. 30 to 36 min.
Filet of Strip Loin (10 oz.) 1.5" 21 to 29 min. 30 to 40 min.
Tenderloin Filet (8 oz.)	 1.5" 22 to 28 min. 28 to 35 min.
Direct heat grilling is cooking food directly over the heat source throughout the entire cooking process. We recommend preparing the succulent Cap of Ribeye directly on the grill.
Cap of Ribeye aka "Butcher's Butter" Approx 28 ozs 8 to 16 min. 17 to 26 min.

Harrisburg, Pa., Burns Through More Cash Than Trash
By Melissa Daniels
There was a time when the Harrisburg, Pa., incinerator was a successful waste-to-energy plant. Then, with the stock market rising and every American looking like a sharp investor, politicians hooked up with Wall Street in a series of exotic financial deals designed to finance plant upgrades.
After a decade, they've incinerated not just trash—but cash.
Through finance and refinance, the Harrisburg Authority and city officials multiplied the facility's $80 million debt more than four times into an astonishing $340 million. Despite the rising debt, the improvements failed and the facility earned nowhere near what experts forecasted, leaving no way to pay down the massive debt, save pending sale of the facility. The only winners appear to be the Wall Street dealmakers who collected some $40 million in commissions and fees over a decade of transactions.
Now state lawmakers are scrambling to produce legislation to keep other Pennsylvania municipalities from sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into debt.
Ban on Swaps
State Sen. Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon) has introduced a proposal to ban the kinds of financial swaps that contributed to the Harrisburg fiasco.
"There's so much market dislocation and so much volatility that, in today's market, I can't imagine a Pennsylvania municipality that I would recommend get into one," said third-party auditor Steven Goldfield.
Swaps allow borrowers to bet against future changes in interest rates on existing bond issues. For example, borrowers can agree to a fixed-interest rate instead of a variable one, or vice versa, in an attempt to earn a more favorable rate.
Entering a swap agreement with a lender can provide up-front cash in exchange for making the deal. But quitting the deal early for any reason can cost borrowers millions.
Swaps are complex. They are controversial. And they're relatively new to Pennsylvania's local government borrowing rules, allowed by law since 2003 as a way to manage interest rate costs.
But after Harrisburg, Folmer and others have said swaps are a risk not worth taking with public dollars.
'Very Risky'
"They're very risky, and all you have to do is have one mistake," Folmer said. "If a private company wants to do this, that's fine. They're risking their own money. But when you're dealing with taxpayer money, it's other people's money. It should not happen."
Tales of swaps gone wrong are not hard to find in Pennsylvania, as they've been called out by government watchdogs and policy analysts.
Auditor General Jack Wagner found in 2009 that 107 school districts and 86 local governments had $14.9 billion in debt tied to swaps. In the city and school district of Philadelphia alone, taxpayers are facing $331 million in debt because of swap deals, according to a Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center report from 2012.
Elsewhere, officials used swaps in financing deals that led to two of the largest U.S. municipal bankruptcies ever—in Jefferson County, Alabama and Orange County, California.
Officials in Harrisburg entered into multiple swap agreements on incinerator bonds since 2003. A third-party project audit showed three of these swaps involved payments by the Harrisburg Authority to the Royal Bank of Canada well above market prices.
Add this type of financing to the fact that the incinerator never made nearly as much money as it was supposed to.
It's not that managing interest rates is a bad decision, for private or public monies. But some believe the complexity of swaps may be more than a local government can handle.
State Sen. Rob Teplitz, D-Dauphin, was elected in November to represent the Harrisburg area. He previously worked in the Auditor General's office studying swap deals throughout the commonwealth, Teplitz said.
'Not Sophisticated Enough'
He supports banning them for all local governments and school districts.
"What you have, particularly at the local level, are very well-meaning, very dedicated public servants who are not sophisticated enough in these financial instruments in order to make the appropriate decisions," Teplitz said. "Compounding that problem is that they have to rely on financial advisers who will only get paid if the swap deal goes through."
Goldfield notes larger cities with a team of independent, intelligent advisers may be able to effectively use swaps to help keep payments under control.
State Treasurer Rob McCord said Monday he was not familiar with the details of a proposed ban or of Harrisburg's particular swap deals.
McCord, a Democrat who worked in finance before he ran for public office, cautioned against overregulating financial management or villianizing the idea. Swaps can manage interest rate risk over time, which can be valuable for long-term debt, he said.
"If these are well-used, they actually reduce risk in the long-run," McCord said of swaps.
But officials can get into trouble when they don't fully understand the financing that's going on. Sometimes, that's a case of "sophisticated sales people," working on commission, who put the deals together, he said.
Worth the Risk?
Despite proven value in certain arenas, the question just becomes whether or not swaps are a risk worth taking in the public sector.
David Unkovic, the former state-appointed receiver for the city of Harrisburg, also testified about swaps during Senate hearings last October. He said local governments, as well as municipal authorities, should be banned from entering new swaps altogether.
The nine years of legal swaps in Pennsylvania have been a failed experiment, he said.
"If you continue to allow the use of swaps, even with additional protections, I believe it is inevitable that there will be more multimillion [dollar] fiascos that result for local government and authorities," Unkovic said in his testimony.

Beyoncé's 'Lemonade,' a Tidal Exclusive, Is Billboard's #1 Album
Where to stream? That is now the question.
5.2.2016 4:41 PM
To no one's surprise, at least not to us, Beyoncé is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her sixth studio album, Lemonade, "earned 653,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 28, according to Nielsen Music," says Billboard.
The 12-song visual album became available to stream exclusively on Tidal on April 23, shortly after its same-titled film premiered on HBO. Up until April 25, when the album and film (together), became available for purchase, it earned 168,000 equivalent album units. Billboard reports that out of the sum, 485,000 were "pure album sales."
The album isn't available to stream outside of Tidal, and yet it's scored the biggest week of any album in 2016. (We'll see if that changes when numbers come in for Drake's Views debut.) It was no surprise that Beyoncé chose to go with Tidal to exclusively stream Lemonade, and although it felt like eternity, two days of exclusivity isn't major. But with the accompaniment of the late Prince's entire discography, we assume it's nothing but a win for Tidal.
So much of the conversation revolving the releases and exclusives of album as of late is about which streaming service will the artist partner up with, and why. Beyoncé with Tidal, Drake with Apple Music, Kanye West with Tidal, Rihanna with Tidal (and Samsung). We focus and debate on which streaming service each artist goes with as much as we once focused and debated the major label signing of an artist. It's no longer which label an artist is signed to (and why), but which streaming service they're tied to.
The goal of streaming services, at least Tidals from jump, is to give creatives respect — through recognition and compensation — when owning exclusive rights to stream and for some sell albums. It surely tests the loyalty and impatience of the fan: Do you wait until it's available in the streaming service you use the most or until you can purchase? Majority of Beyoncé's numbers came from digital album units. (Physical copies of the album won't be available until May 3.) While Tidal earnings are in the minority, Lemonade is still only available to stream on Tidal so it's a win win for Jay Z's streaming service, no matter where his reputation stands.

Years ago conventional wisdom was that your portfolio should get more conservative as you age. One widely quoted rule of thumb was that the amount you should have in bonds should match your age. So a 60-year-old would have a 60% bond/40% stock portfolio, a 70-year-old would have a 70% bond/30% stock portfolio, and so on.
Many clients searching for a financial advisor aren't certain what should be reviewed and discussed at their first meeting.

Nominations for Saskatchewan Order of Merit open now
CTV News Regina Published Friday, September 6, 2019 9:47AM CST
Saskatchewan Order of Merit (Supplied: Government of Saskatchewan)
Nominations are now open for the 2020 Saskatchewan Order of Merit.
The province's highest honour began in 1985 to recognize excellence, achievement and contributions to the cultural, social and economic well-being of Saskatchewan, the province said in a news release.
"We have so many impressive and generous people in our communities," Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty said in a release. "The Saskatchewan Order of Merit enables us to celebrate the achievements of remarkable citizens. I encourage everyone to consider nominating a deserving individual to receive our highest honour."
The province says nominees must be current or former long-term Saskatchewan residents, and posthumous nominations are accepted within one year of the person's date of death.
The nomination deadline is Nov. 1. Winners will be invested at a ceremony next year.
Nominations can be submitted here.

Q: Bit shifting and PORT value on PIC18F4520 I am working on a PIC18f4520.
To do my test, I have connected a led to the pic. The following items are the steps I would like to do :

*

*Save the value of the port set for the LED (which blinks according to the ISR subroutine I wrote, and can be look at in this case as a clock signal). For this I did :
unsigned char portValue;   // initialization
TRISBbits.TRISB5 = 0;      // LED on RB5 set as output

portValue = PORTBbits.RB5; // operation in the main while loop

*Left shift the bits of portValue by one but with the insertion of the RB5 value. To illustrate :
--> if RB5 = 1, I would have portValue = 0b0000 0001
--> at t+1, RB5 = 0 then portValue = 0b0000 0010
--> at t+2, RB5 = 1 then portValue = 0b0000 0101
--> and so on (RB5 taking 1 or 0 and no other value)

With what I have wrote so far I can only do a left shifting. But I can't find a way to "add" the RB5...
Does something like
portValue = portValue<<(&PORTBbits.RB5);

could work ?
Bit shifting operations are quite new to me so my questions can be odd.
Anyhow, thanks in advance !

A: portValue <<= 1; //left shift every time round
portValue |= (PORTBbits.RB5) ? 1 : 0; //set LSB of portValue if RB5 is true

A: Bitshifting works like this:
result = value << amount

this shifts the bits of the variable value by amount of bits to the left. Use >> for right shifting.
So before you store your new bit, you want do shift portValue by one bit, like this:
portValue = portValue << 1;

Now the first bit will be 0 by default and you can store your new bit there like this:
portValue = portValue | PORTBbits.RB5;

This assumes that the variable PORTBbits.RB5 will only have the values 0 or 1 so every other bit except bit 0 is always 0. To make sure of this you can mask PORTBbits.RB5 with 0x01 like this:
portValue = portValue | (PORTBbits.RB5 & 0x01);

This will make sure that only the first bit will be changed.
This can now be combined in one line if you like:
portValue = (portValue << 1 ) | (PORTBbits.RB5 & 0x01);

Beginning on Labour Day, a brand-new scripted drama about the history of Harley-Davidson airs in three two-hour installments. Tthe dramatic, period mini-series is based on the true story of Milwaukee schoolyard pals, William Harley and Arthur Davidson, as they built and rode the now iconic two-wheel mechanical marvels. The new six-hour event looks back at how the founders grew their loyal following – whether it was securing an American Army contract, teaching riders how to make repairs on the field, or embracing boisterous motorcycle clubs across the nation. The duo eventually channelled all their resources to create the world's first superbike, a state-of-the-art racing machine for the masses. HARLEY AND THE DAVIDSONS makes its debut in two-hour blocks over three consecutive nights to rev up the fall schedule.

During the early 1970s, much of the land at Dera was reclaimed so that buildings could be constructed to accommodate the growing sangat. Disciples lovingly moved mounds of earth dug out of the hills to fill deep ravines. Using a head ring and a basket, devotees first went to the digging site where willing helpers filled each basket with dirt and placed a load on each head. Each disciple carried their basket to the dumping site, tossed the basketful of dirt into the ravine, and then headed back for a refill. This human conveyer belt moved tons of sandy earth throughout the Dera under the watchful eye of the Master.
In the book Legacy of Love, there are pictures of Maharaj Charan Singh overseeing mitti seva, as this manual transport of dirt was called. This gradual transformation of the land from deep gullies and ravines to flat land by purely human effort was an astonishing and monumental task. Slowly, deep ravines were filled in, one small basket at a time. There was often more love in the sevadar's basket than there was dirt. But with each trip, bit by bit, the ravine was filled. Master was watching over the work and showering his love on each sevadar – each trip filled with love, filled with simran, and a basket of dirt.
Our simran is so much like that mitti seva. Just imagine that each round of simran is a basket of love and devotion filling in the deep grooves of our mind. And know that Master is there with us, overseeing our effort and showering us with his grace. The deep ravines in our mind, created by eons of past karmas, will eventually be filled in with each round of simran. Slowly, slowly as we continue the repetition, the mind begins to smooth out, and many of our negative traits are lessened.
We have often read or heard that not one round of simran goes to waste, so when related to the image of mitti seva, the benefit of repetition becomes immediately understandable. The more ways that we can understand how important simran is, the better – because simran not only makes us fit by helping to eliminate negative tendencies, it is also our bridge over the ravine of illusion, the illusion of separation.
Let us bring Master our simran! Fill each basket of love and devotion with simran! Over and over, one-pointedly, let us carry our simran to him inside. In time, the grooves of our mind will be filled with his love.
that would take me away from the Lord's divine feet.
and my ears hear only the divine melody of Nam.
it benefits no one and causes misery.
through forgiveness and peace one gains inner strength.

On January 21, 2013 Act for Sudan and genocide scholars wrote a letter to the German Foreign Minister asking them to cancel their Sudan investment conference. Several news agencies have since reported on the issue.
(MintPress) – At least two Sudanese nationals were arrested last Tuesday by German authorities while protesting among dozens of activists outside a Sudan economic forum at the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin.
Four additional activists were injured when German police used violence against the crowd. Civil society groups claim police violence was unjustified since the group had obtained a permit for the peaceful demonstration.
According to a female Sudanese activist's account of the event: "One police officer beat one of the protester[s] on his face and broke his nose because the protester tried to pull back his friend from the police. Then, a lot of police officers came very close and began pulling and arresting other people."
In testimony to the Sudanese nonviolent resistance movement, Girifna, the activist explained how German police did not allow enough time for protesters to translate police messages into French, English and Sudanese before intervening with violence…
The article went on to say:
Prior to the conference, Act for Sudan, an alliance of American activists and Sudanese U.S. residents advocating an end to mass atrocities in Sudan, coordinated an open letter urging German officials to cancel the forum.
The letter, signed by 68 international organizations, 14 genocide scholars and other notable human rights advocates, called for the cancellation of the conference, saying it "places Germany squarely in the role of generating financial support for the genocidal Sudanese regime."
According to the letter, "The National Congress Party (NCP) regime in Sudan, led by a president indicted by the International Criminal Court for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, is causing the death, starvation, displacement and destruction of livelihood of Sudanese civilians in Darfur, Nuba Mountains/South Kordofan and the Blue Nile state."
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said the conference, organized by the German-African Business Association and the Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was aimed at supporting the peace process between Sudan and recently-independent South Sudan.

Background and Motivation
Policy initiatives such as the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) change the competitive and regulatory landscape for companies and entrepreneurs. The SDGs provide objectives that government, commerce, and civil society should pursue to create a just and sustainable future. The field of science, technology, and innovation (STI) can be leveraged through entrepreneurship to pursue the SDGs. In such a context, mechanisms must be established to facilitate cooperation between stakeholders and promote knowledge sharing and innovation. These factors are crucial for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Walsh et al., 2020).
Cooperation between stakeholders, including communities, investors, customers, suppliers, universities, industry, and governments, enhance the likelihood of effective innovations and the synergic relationships between these agents (Hernández-Trasobares & Murillo-Luna, 2020; Miles, Munilla and Darroch, 2006). As Sarasvathy and Venkataraman (2011: 122) note:
"Entrepreneurial action…is above all, interaction—interaction over time, between stakeholders, and through local transformations of every kind of environment imaginable…Only by conceptualizing entrepreneurship as a method can we hope to push its uses beyond technology commercialization and economic development and put it to work to build social innovations that make a positive difference in human development."
Approaches to collaboration vary. For example, religion, conceived as a multi-faceted embodiment of a socially and politically relevant institution, also enables research on social values for sustainability through theories of social transformation (Ives & Kidwell, 2019). Buddhism provides the Faith Statement on Ecology (Faith in Conservation), which condemns actions such as polluting the environment, eating meat, and harming vegetation (Singh, 2015). Christianity, through Pope Francis, published the Encyclical Laudato Si' (Francis, 2015), which reframes the need for sustainable entrepreneurship according to the Christian faith. Sachs (2017) compared the 2030 Agenda with the Laudato Si', concluding that although they have different approaches, they agree on the need to reshape the global economic model, pursuing a green economy and a post-capitalist era with a more ethical responsibility at all levels. In short, collaboration between stakeholders is broad and can span multiple scenarios.
This special issue focuses on the interrelationships between STI, sustainable entrepreneurship, and stakeholders advancing the SDGs. Sustainability has increasingly become a leading motivation for opportunity-driven entrepreneurship (Cervelló-Royo et al., 2020). Sustainable entrepreneurship can be conceptualized as the process of discovering, evaluating, and exploiting opportunities that are environmentally, socially, and economically relevant (Dean & McMullen, 2007). Sustainable entrepreneurship pursues opportunities that enhance the ecological and social environment (Shepherd & Patzelt, 2011) to generate economic and social benefits (Messeni-Petruzzelli et al., 2019; Verreine et al., 2013). In the context of the SDGs, sustainable entrepreneurs and corporate entrepreneurs can play an important role.
Adopting an STI approach in a sustainable entrepreneurship project requires an understanding that technology needs stakeholder support throughout the ecosystem to advance SDGs. "These MoIs [Methods of Implementation] include creating a market space for SDG oriented production, finance, public and private partnerships, data, and lots of other capacities to ensure STI is more pervasive in its diffusion and assist more effectively with the implementation of SDGs across nations" (Walsh et al., 2020, p. 6). Venkataraman (1997: 120) notes that the creation of a market is entrepreneurship as it "seeks to understand how opportunities to bring into existence 'future' goods and services are discovered, created and exploited, by whom and with what consequences."
However, the literature pays little attention to how STI initiatives are enhanced by knowledge sharing and collaboration between actors (Berawi, 2017). Other noteworthy aspects are the business models behind sustainable entrepreneurship projects. Establishing these business models is especially relevant and involves multiple institutional logics and coordination with different and diverse stakeholders (Schneider and Clauß, 2020).
In this context, sustainability-focused entrepreneurial projects can take substantial measures to reduce their ecological footprint. They can do so through impactful technological innovations (Cadez et al., 2019; Wahyuni & Ratnatunga, 2015) or systems based on so-called impression management responses, which seek the support of stakeholders (Talbot and Boiral, 2015) through initiatives such as the establishment of foundations or charity donations (Monfort et al., 2021). Likewise, research on sustainable entrepreneurship must consider contextual moderating effects such as pressure from stakeholders in a given location, government relations, and institutional voids (Ge et al., 2019). Additionally, the collaboration between SMEs and multinationals creates business and innovation opportunities for both. SMEs can overcome resource constraints, while larger firms are exposed to more innovative ideas (Hora et al., 2018). However, there remains a need to articulate such partnerships' benefits in terms of their sustainability and innovation. For instance, Tian et al. (2019) suggest that business-government relations stimulate firm innovation and that new forms of cooperation, such as renewable energy cooperatives, can address a communities' local needs and global environmental problems (Heras-Saizarbitoria et al., 2018; Tarhan, 2015).
Likewise, research on the diffusion of bottom-up sustainable innovation is limited (Feola & Butt, 2017). A lack of research considers strategic and multi-stakeholder approaches to sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainable corporate entrepreneurship limit our understanding. Despite the increase in publications on the SDGs, the literature pays little attention to emerging digital paradigms to deal with the complexities, limitations, and research gaps of the 2030 Agenda (Del Río Castro et al., 2021) in the context of sustainability.
These illustrations offer just a few examples of the wide range of actors capable of interacting with sustainable entrepreneurs. We are only beginning to understand STI-based entrepreneurial solutions, such as exploiting energy-efficiency opportunities and the relationship between finance, profitability, and STI-based enterprises (Mazzucato & Semieniuk, 2018). For investors, recent research has highlighted crowdfunding as an alternative source of funding to develop energy technologies (Bento et al., 2019). We have an underdeveloped understanding of how SMEs are coping with being suppliers in the value chains of SDG-focused multinationals (Stekelorum et al., 2020), given that SMEs can profitably reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their supply chains (Su & Moaniba, 2017).
These cases reflect just some examples in terms of technology management, innovation, and sustainable entrepreneurship that depend on the relationships between multiple actors to achieve the 2030 Agenda's success.
Objectives and Topics
Although these issues are on multiple actors' sustainability agendas, we know little about sustainable entrepreneurship's environmental and economic consequences and the strategic decisions that give rise to impact partnerships to promote sustainability within the 2030 Agenda framework. Future research can uncover sustainability and technology management innovations by new actors in different industries and companies that encourage internal sustainable entrepreneurship.
We also need to know whether the new sustainable technologies developed by new entrepreneurs and corporate entrepreneurs can be transferred across the globe, especially considering the differences in each region's development processes. Consequently, it is crucial to know which technologies are being created by sustainable entrepreneurs and to understand how the creation and management of inclusive, sustainable, and useful governance technologies are being encouraged through collaboration between actors at all levels.
This call for papers aims to attract studies that examine various aspects of sustainable entrepreneurial innovations and technology management under the principle of cross-collaboration. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
Sustainable entrepreneurship collaborations and value creation in technology sectors
The SDGs, technological management, and sustainable entrepreneurship
Partnerships for the SDGs in the context of technology management and sustainable entrepreneurial projects
Methods of implementation of the entrepreneurial method in achieving the SDGs through STI
Top-down and bottom-up diffusion strategies in sustainable technology and entrepreneurship
Benefits of the relationship between SMEs and large companies in terms of technology management and sustainable innovations
Strategically oriented entrepreneurial initiatives in sustainable energy at the firm level
Sustainable entrepreneurship in international legislation, accreditation, and auditing processes
Energy efficiency opportunities and collaborative, sustainable entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship, pricing, and green technologies
New forms of investment for entrepreneurial energy projects and economic and environmental impacts
Digital sustainable technologies
Case studies in technology-based management and sustainable organizations
Development of technological and sustainable ventures
Ethical issues arising from the need for sustainable entrepreneurship and technology management
Digital competencies and Management 3.0
Management of the supply chain in entrepreneurial projects
Investment models in sustainable entrepreneurship
Corporate entrepreneurship and its usefulness to achieve the SDGs
The attainment of the SDGs through sustainable organizations
We are particularly interested in studies that examine the economic and environmental impacts of sustainable entrepreneurship in new sectors and practices that represent significant innovative improvements on what is already known about sustainability management in organizations. The approach should consider the collaboration and relationships between actors to pursue the 2030 Agenda.
We look forward to receiving rigorous and impactful research that provides novel insights into the interface between sustainable entrepreneurship and technological innovations within and beyond work. The research may be empirical (including quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches) or conceptual. We also accept review articles that include a compelling summary of the state-of-the-art in a well-researched area of a topic related to the special issue.
Submission dates: October 01, 2021 to September 30, 2022
Review process: On a rolling basis from October 2021 to December 2022.
Publication: This is a VSI; accepted papers will be published online immediately once accepted and included in the next available issue of the journal.

The Age of Oxygen (400 million to 290 million years ago)
As plants became firmly established on land, life once again had a major effect on Earth's atmosphere during the Carboniferous Period. Oxygen made up 20 percent of the atmosphere—about today's level—around 350 million years ago, and it rose to as much as 35 percent over the next 50 million years.
Late Carboniferous Period (Pennsylvanian)
318-299 million years ago
Among the giant plants in the Carboniferous forests were Cordaites, an early relative of conifers; Calamites, a bushy horsetail; Medullosa,a seed fern (a plant with seeds and fern-like leaves); Psaronius, a tree fern; and Paralycopodites and Lepidophloios, lycopsids (scaly, pole-like trees with cones). Lepidophloios could grow to 40 m (132 ft), but most of today's lycopsids, known as quillworts and club mosses, grow only a few centimeters high.

During the later part of the Carboniferous Period (Pennsylvanian), 318 to 299 million years ago, great forests grew on the land, and giant swamps filled low-lying areas. Usually when a dead plant or animal decays, microbes decompose it and combine its carbon with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. But as great masses of dead plants became buried under swamps and out of contact with oxygen, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere actually dropped. The world became cooler.
From Fossil to Fuel
After millions of years of heat and pressure, the buried remains of these giant plants were transformed into the large reserves of coal that we rely on today to supply so much of our energy. When we burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, we release carbon dioxide from the dead plants and animals that were buried millions of years ago. Increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere makes Earth warmer.
Forecast: Cooling Trend
Early in the Carboniferous Period, Earth's climate was warm. Later, glaciers formed at the poles, while equatorial regions were often warm and humid. Earth's climate became similar to today's, shifting between glacial and interglacial periods.


A menorah sits in the window at the McHenry County Jewish Congregation in Crystal Lake.
A light in the darkness: That's how McHenry County Jewish Congregation Rabbi Tom Samuels described Hanukkah.
Hanukkah, or the festival of lights, is an eight-day Jewish celebration. It often is celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, fried food, games and gifts, Samuels said.
Maccabee, defeated the Greeks more than 2,000 years ago.
According to tradition, when Jews tried to light the temple's menorah, they only found a single container of oil that had not been defiled by the Greeks. However, they lit the menorah, and the one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days.
Hanukkah began Sunday and continues through Monday. On Tuesday, the congregation, at 8617 Ridgefield Road in Crystal Lake, lit another candle on its menorah.
The "light is not to destroy the darkness" because darkness "is part of life," he said.
"It's to mitigate it a bit," Samuels said.
In October, a gunman opened fire at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and killed 11 people. Samuels said this Hanukkah will mean something different to every Jew, but he's hopeful.

This year�s survey includes geographic areas with large Hispanic populations such as Woodbridge and the Purple Line International Corridor (Langley Park area). Participants are selected randomly and surveys are conducted in English and Spanish. The first round of interviewing is underway and will continue through mid-November. The survey is confidential and personal information is not shared with others.
Data collected in this survey will assist in transportation planning efforts to ensure that local road and public transit networks are able to meet the region�s growing travel demands. Major transportation improvements are underway or under consideration (the Purple Line in the Langley Park area, the I-95 HOT lanes, and potential VRE service expansion in the Woodbridge area, for example), and it is important to collect information on household travel before such projects begin.
Arlington County used the TPB�s survey instrument to produce their recent report on the County�s travel patterns. The TPB hopes that this unique data collection and analysis will eventually be conducted on an annual basis to supplement the American Community Survey, which will only report data for smaller communities every five years.

Anxiety and depression can both be linked or can exist on their own as they are not the same. Experiencing either or both can be quite debilitating and seriously affect the quality of one's life. Both can produce strong emotions and those who suffer can experience feelings of being alone or isolation. Anxiety and/or depression can successfully be dealt with by CBT which is based on a collaborative approach and utilises exercises and evaluation methods to monitor the progression.
