Air quality, polluted oceans and energy production: these are just some of the environmental issues blighting our planet today. Who has the answers? What has been proven to work? CNN's series 'Eco Solutions' will tell the stories of people around the world creating innovative solutions to preserve the planet. Hosted by CNN international correspondent and anchor, Isa Soares, the 15-minutes show will take viewers from the cities improving the air they breathe to the countries running on renewable energy.
Protecting the environment – whose job is it? Do we need to rely on governments and businesses, or does it come down to individuals? The truth is, of course, that it's a combination of effort.
Ahead of World Oceans Day, Eco Solutions explores the devastation that plastic has on our oceans and the people who are championing the clean-up. We interview Dutch inventor Boyan Slat.
How much damage do we do to the planet in 24 hours? This Earth Day, Eco Solutions is at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London, to see how younger generations are learning about climate change.
The next time you see a bee buzzing around, you might pause to think that around a third of the food we eat is thanks to their efficient and crucial act of pollination. Bees transfer pollen between plants to allow fertilization. Without bees, we'd be pretty stuck.
90 percent of global trade is shipped, generating a carbon footprint equivalent to Japan or Germany. It amounts to around three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the International Maritime Organisation estimates that this could grow significantly.
Imagine if you could make water out of thin air - well, it turns out you can! In some of the driest places on earth, including in the deserts of Chile and Morocco, fog catchers are at work.
The world is gathering in Morocco to talk about climate change. One year on from an international agreement to keep global warming below two degrees, how have countries fared?
In California, where the spectre of drought is never far away, businesses and individuals are always looking at ways to reduce their water consumption.
Do you wear lipstick? Wash your hair with shampoo? Eat chocolate? If so, you are one of many people using palm oil. It's hidden among the ingredients of around half the products on our supermarket shelves. But it's often grown at great cost to the environment and local communities.
A whole country running on renewables is perhaps not as far away as we think – at least in terms of electricity production. In May 2016, Portugal ran for four and a half days using clean energy alone. Replacing finite fossil fuels and their carbon emissions is a long-held goal of global governments.
We visit the small city of Tezpur, which has moved heavy vehicles out of the centre, and replaced local coal-powered tea plantation industries with LPG. We also look at small projects underway in the large city of London to see how seemingly minor measures are also having some success in reducing harmful pollutants.

James P. Cain misunderstands lessons from American history
Soon to be former American ambassador to Denmark James P. Cain was recently (2008, 12th Nov.) interviewed by late night debate programme DR2 Deadline. Among other issues the interview revolved around his views on integration and what the American experience could teach Denmark.
Former Danish foreign minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen saw the interview and agrees with Mr. Cain. I don't.
Speaking of the Mohammed cartoons and the fact that large parts of Danish society insist on being able to criticize an ideology such as political Islam, he said that any serious newspaper in the States would be unlikely to publish the cartoons. The reason for this, he said, was that at some point in American history the Americans decided that it was more important to maintain a "stable, harmonious and diverse society". (BTW, Chinese leader Hu Jintao uses the term "stable and harmonious society" in the same way as Cain does here: as an excuse to clamp down on criticism)
James P. Cain says that America has to some extent "compromised the faith in freedom of speech and a free press in favour of respect, order and security in society. If that means not going out you way not to insult someone or incite someone for no reason then most media and most Americans would not (have printed the cartoons)."
First of all, whether the cartoons were "for no reason" at all or not is a different discussion and I happen to think that there was plenty of good reasons to publish them.
Secondly, although he acknowledges that the experience he is talking about is derived from problems with race and the current are not, he still thinks we can and should transfer the conclusions from dealing with race to the present ideological conflict.
American media and society were right to stop criticizing people for their race. Race is not important to other people besides the individual and has no real effect on the society at large. Taking race as an issue out of the debate basically removes the problem and allows blacks to integrate into society as they are.
The problems lately (esp. exposed by the Mohammed cartoons) are not about race but about politics, culture, and religion. In other word, aspects that do have a wider impact on society at large.
I don't think American media are holding back from criticizing people over their political opinions and that is the way it should be. But religion is off limits? When religion acts as and feeds politics there is every reason to point it out and criticize that as well.
In the interview Cain draws on the American experience of the racial riots and says that back then it was young men who did not feel part of society and then proceeded to attack it in order to gain freedom to exercise their political rights. The same thing is happening today where young people who feel disenfranchised and alienated become terrorists, he says.
His conclusion is therefore to apply the same tool: Stop singling out the troublemakers and allow them a place in society.
I think that in a time where Muslims and no one else are killing other people in order to gain political rights, it would be foolish not to point out that fact.
Secondly: the political rights that the blacks fought for were ones such as freedom from slavery and the right to sit down in a bus even if a white man steps in. Hardly anything to disagree about.
Muslims are fighting for the right to marry off their daughters without her consent or the right to stone homosexuals? Are we just going to let that slide?
Muslims and the sort are welcome to become a part of Danish society. How you do that is by contributing to it. Fighting for a place for Pakistani tribal norms in Denmark or setting fire to cars because not every one here thinks Mohammed was the greatest man ever is not contributing to society.
Some may think that they have a right not to be offended – but they are wrong. Some may think that ideas have rights and it is their place to fight for them. Well, ideas do not have rights and if they choose to fight for whatever idea they like here in Denmark then they are going to be told an honest opinion.
For foreigners to feel like a part of this society they first have to understand it and then want to feel part of it. Parallel societies with opposite norms are simply way of keeping conflict out of sight – not resolving it.
James P. Cain and Uffe Ellemann-Jensen have failed in convincing me that certain ideologies, groups, forces, organisations , or religions should be exempt from criticism.
Especially the fact that Uffe Ellemann-Jensen holds this opinion continues to surprise me. All through his career he had a clear, informed and tough opinion on what to do with the Soviet Union and now the Russian regime. No one thinks that being tough on Communism caused groups like Rote Armée Fraktion or the Red Brigades to take up arms. That would be just stupid.

We all know, of course, that "heart" refers to the organ in our chests that performs the essential function of keeping the blood moving around our bodies. We are also probably aware that the word "heart" is used to talk about many things that have nothing to do with that essential organ. In fact, when the word "heart" is used in the Bible – or in any of the world's great sacred texts – it is almost always used in this second sense: to speak of something that has nothing to do with our biological functioning.
In the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, the word "heart" occurs 931 times (including variations on that word, such as "whole-heartedly"). While I will not claim to have closely examined every one of these occurrences, a quick review of the verses in question reveals that, indeed, the Bible seldom uses the word "heart" to refer to the organ in our chests.
Perhaps the best way to describe the use of the heart in the Bible and other sacred texts is to say that it refers to a person's center, to the deepest, truest part of us. One dictionary definition puts it this way: "the vital center and source of one's being". The use of the term "heart" in this way speaks to something that is authentic in human experience, which is why the term appears so frequently in sacred texts and why we continue to use it in the same way today. Yet, heart as the "vital center and source of one's being" is not something that we can locate in the body or subject to any sort of analysis. Still, most people I know have a sense that speaking of the heart points to something real about them and their experience.
So, why am I going on about the word "heart" in it's non-biological sense? Because I think it has much to do with the way we approach the religious dimension of our lives. For generations, people understood that religion – and this is really true of all the various religious traditions – was attempting to speak to something that was authentic in human experience but which was difficult to express directly. Religion has always sought to draw human beings deeper into the mystery and meaning of our own existence, and to connect us to the mystery and meaning of the larger universe. Religion seeks to draw us into our hearts – that is, into the vital center and source of our being. And, by so doing, to draw us into The Heart: the vital center and source of Being Itself.
These connections to heart and Heart which the religious traditions make for us are not connections that can really be objectively examined. These connections are formed and unfold within a realm of human experience with which science is not really concerned, in part because science really has no way to access it. And yet, people who have taken their spiritual journeys seriously and discovered a deepening connection with heart and Heart know that they have discovered something real, something authentic, something that truly does dwell at the center of the human experience. Our various religious traditions are all, at their roots, attempts to describe this experience, to name it for ourselves, and to try to provide a path that others might follow into their own hearts.
Too often, religious people and institutions don't take seriously this opening of the heart. Too often, we allow religion to settle into a shadow or caricature of its true self, choosing to focus our energies on the externals of religious life or institutions, or on the finer points of belief. We turn religion into a moralistic framework with which to torment ourselves or others. We settle for a God who has not been met in the heart, but is instead the projection of human fear, narrowness, and prejudice.
It is not surprising, when you think about it, that we allow religion devolve into such a monstrosity. After all, we allow ourselves to do the same thing: rather than spending the time and doing the inner work necessary to break through all our falsity to discover our true selves revealed in the heart, we devote tremendous energy into building up our false selves, reenforcing our egos. We allow our own humanity, and the humanity of others, to become a caricature of what humanity can be.
Yet, for all of this, at the heart of our religious traditions are still preserved pathways that will lead us to heart and Heart, if only we are willing to take them. Generations of mystics from all of the world's religions have made this journey. As they have sought to share something of their experience, they have inevitably done so with reference to the particular tradition to which they belong. And yet there is a surprising convergence across all these various experiences with regard to the essential insights that have emerged from these encounters with heart and Heart.
The examples of these saints and mystics can encourage us in our journey. And, in fact, "encourage" is just the right word: it literally means "to hearten". Indeed, to live with courage is to live with heart. And spiritual courage can move us out of caricatured religion and into the heart of spirituality.
Events of recent weeks have generated a great deal of discussion about racism in America. Some have opined that racism isn't really a part of American life anymore, and that claims of racism as a factor in a given circumstance are nothing more than attempts to use an emotionally charged term to cover over something else. A number of (white) pundits were highly critical of President Obama's statement this past Friday about the George Zimmerman verdict and racial issues in America, complaining that racism had nothing to do with the Zimmerman case, that racism is on the decline in America, or referring to him as "Racist in Chief" and complaining that he was attempting to foment racism and further divide the country with his remarks. Some pointed to the fact that Obama is the President as evidence that racism was no longer a factor in American life.
While I have no doubt that racism continues to cast a shadow across the American landscape, I don't really have any interest in taking up the arguments about whether racism was a factor in the Zimmerman verdict, or the degree to which racism is a factor in any other circumstance where it may be alleged. But I would like to explore a bit about who should get to say whether racism is a reality or not.
If we who are Christian think about our sacred texts, we find that very often, God appears in those texts as having a special concern with the minority or the marginalized. It is, in fact, a rather powerful theme that runs through the Bible, weaving its way through both the Old and New Testaments. The story that became the foundational story for the Jewish people is, after all, a story about a people who had been enslaved by a more powerful race, and due to their suffering, became the focus of a divinely initiated act of liberation. The Jewish law was careful to make provision for the poor and disadvantaged, even if the people of Israel did not always live up to that ideal. And when they did not, prophets arose to remind them of their obligations to those who were not empowered. In the New Testament, Jesus focuses much of his ministry on those who were marginalized and discriminated against by their society. God appears in much of the biblical tradition as the One who champions the disempowered, and who calls on those who are empowered to look upon the disadvantaged with compassion and to act in ways that transform society so that the disadvantaged might find justice.
What emerges across the biblical literature is an important truth: that God speaks for the disadvantaged, the minority, because those in power are unable or unwilling to do so, and because those in power are unable or unwilling to see the true condition of the marginalized. And that is the way it most often is with those who are privileged, who are empowered and advantaged (which includes me): we do not see the true condition of the disempowered, either because we somehow are unable to do so or because we do not wish to. And so, in today's America, we come to a place where various (mostly white) pundits, anointed by the media as having some sort of wisdom, parade across our TV and computer screens debating the reality of racism in America.
In my humble opinion, they would do well to be quiet. Because the only people who are really qualified to speak about the continuing reality of racism in America are those who experience it. Those of us who belong to the empowered class, who have never experienced a moment of racial discrimination in our lives, can't get beyond an abstract and theoretical discussion. We do not know what it is like to be part of a racial minority in this country. We cannot get inside that experience. We cannot know the world from their point of view.
But, we can learn from them. We can listen to their experience, and instead of judging it or reinterpreting it or somehow discounting it, we can receive it as an authentic testimony about what their lives are like. Those of us who seek to be followers of Jesus have a sacred obligation to do just that, as the biblical tradition in general and the Christian tradition in particular makes abundantly clear. If God seeks to give a voice to the disempowered, then we have an obligation to listen to that voice. And it is the voice of the disempowered that will tell us about the realities of racism in America. Not the voices of the empowered class who have never experienced it.
There was a huge outburst of emotion this past weekend as the jury in the George Zimmerman case handed down its verdict of "Not Guilty", absolving Mr. Zimmerman of any responsibility for the death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager. While I'm sure that there are some people who favored the verdict, the bulk of the reaction seems to be outrage that the man who admitted killing Trayvon, though, he argued, in self defense, was not being held accountable for it. How, so many have wondered, is it possible that an unarmed young man was killed, and no one is legally responsible?
It is tempting, but difficult, to try to put ourselves in the place of the jury. In our system, if there is any room for reasonable doubt in a case like this, then the jury is required to acquit the defendant. In this case, the jurors who listened to the testimony and the presentation of the cases must have concluded that there was some room for doubt, and did what the law requires them to do in such a case.
This trial demonstrates the limits of law. Most of the time, I think, the law and the legal system that embodies it works the way it is supposed to work, accurately holding people who have committed crimes responsible for what they have done. It is nevertheless true, however, that in the history of our jurisprudence, many innocent people have been wrongly convicted, and if that is true, then it stands to reason that a number of guilty people have gone free. Human systems are never perfect, and the legal system is no exception.
This past Sunday, in many churches, the story of the Good Samaritan was the Gospel reading for the day. It is a story, as one preacher pointed out, that tends to invite our immediate judgment on the people who crossed the street so as to avoid encountering, and having to deal with, the man who had been left beaten on the side of the road by unknown robbers. Naturally, we wonder how they could have been so heartless. As that same preacher also pointed out, however, there is another question that the story should invite but which we often don't consider. And that is this: how is it that the robbers were able to attack the man in the first place? What sort of people are these, who would do such a thing? And what sort of a society produces such people?
The natural reaction of probably most people in this country, and even around the world, to the verdict in George Zimmerman's trial is to wonder how the jury could possibly have taken the role of those in the Good Samaritan story who crossed the street. How could this jury have passed the body of Trayvon Martin and not held his killer responsible? For me, however, the more important question has nothing to do with the jury, but with the incident that brought that jury together. How is it that we have a society in which an unarmed teenager can get shot by an armed citizen on his way home? What is it in Mr. Zimmerman's life that allows him to become so overwhelmed by fear of another, much younger human being that he feels justified to kill that person? And, if Trayvon Martin had not been black, would events have unfolded differently that night?
Last week, I wrote about the Paula Deen controversy, and I suggested that what we tended to miss in our response to that controversy was the opportunity it provided to us to search our own hearts and souls. The Zimmerman verdict — a far more serious matter — provides us with the same opportunity to search not only ourselves, but the heart and soul of our society, as well, and to ask if this is the kind of world we want to live in? Is this the sort of society we want? This case asks us hard questions about violence and racism in our culture, and how we deal with them — or don't.
In the New Testament, there is a lot of discussion about law, particularly in the letters of St. Paul. There, the discussion is about the Jewish law and the way it was interpreted and practiced centuries ago. In meditating on that law, St. Paul observes how limited the law is as a device. It shows us where we fall short, but it does not empower us to create real and lasting change. That sort of empowerment depends on grace, that is, it depends on a genuine movement of the human spirit as that spirit is embraced, touched, and led by the Holy Spirit. In short, law can only take us so far. Where law fails, a genuine human-divine movement is required.
In the Zimmerman case, law has failed. Whether it failed systemically, or whether it failed simply because the prosecution's case was not sufficiently strong, will be debated for a long time to come. But our outrage at that failure needs to move beyond a focus on the jurors or the legal process to the hard questions that the death of Trayvon Martin raises in the first place. What we need now is a genuine movement that seeks to get at the roots of violence and race relations in this country, a movement that recognizes that — regardless of legal outcomes — it is never okay for someone to end up dead on his way home. Trayvon Martin is dead, George Zimmerman's soul has been damaged, and neither is okay. The law will not save us from future incidents like this. We must choose to walk a different path as a people and a nation.
The Forest of Deen appears in the last installment of the Harry Potter series as a place where Harry and his friends hide for a time while they are on the run from He Who Must Not Be Named. Recently, Americans slipped into our own Forest of Deen as people got caught up in the controversy swirling around celebrity chef Paula Deen regarding her apparent racial prejudices and the vocalizing of the same.
Honestly, I was rather determined to steer clear of this controversy, which seems to be beginning to slip off the front pages. But I overcame my reluctance when Paula Deen alluded, in a TODAY Show interview, to a story from the Gospel of John. In that interview, she invited anyone who hadn't said something that they regretted at some point in their lives to cast a stone right at her head.
The background to her comment is, of course, John's story of the woman "caught in adultery". In Jesus' time and place, the prescribed punishment for her misdeed was to be stoned to death. In an effort to get Jesus to either sanction this penalty or to get him into trouble for refusing to sanction it, the crowd brings the woman before Jesus and asks him to say whether they should fulfill the law with respect to her punishment.
This particular teaching story of Jesus seems quite apt, actually, for the Forest of Deen into which we have recently gotten lost. Crowds of people have risen up (and stepped up to media microphones!) to condemn Paula Deen loudly for her apparent prejudicial attitudes and statements, and many have advocated to what amounts to a metaphorical stoning of her career, all in the name of justice or doing the right thing.
But the story from John's Gospel should make us ask whether we are, indeed, doing the right thing. One of the things that is revealed in the exchange between Jesus and the crowd in John's story is that the members of that crowd were so caught up in passing judgment on the woman that they failed to examine their own lives. Jesus' words to them reminded them that they themselves were not so different from the woman they brought before him, that they, too, had made bad choices and sometimes had done the wrong thing. Jesus reminded them that they were really no different from the woman they sought to destroy. And as that truth washed over them, they found all their righteous indignation toward this woman extinguished, and they all walked off to think about their own lives, their own misdeeds, and their own need for forgiveness.
With the crowd thus transformed and chagrined, the threat of the woman's impending destruction is removed. And that allows Jesus to point her toward her own need for transformation. Notice that he doesn't just send her off — he sends her off with the words, "Sin no more". He recognizes that she has acted wrongly, he recognizes that there are things in her life for which she needs to repent and behaviors that she needs to change. But rather than advocating her destruction, he seeks to give her another chance, an opportunity for rebirth.
Paula Deen surely needs to examine her own life — the way she was raised, the cultural attitudes that helped to shape her, and the way in which these have led her to somehow see black people in a different way than she sees white people. But she is hardly the only person who needs to engage in that kind of self-examination. The crowds clamoring for her destruction have their own prejudices and shortcomings that need to be examined and exposed to the light. We all do.
Americans love a scandal. We secretly (or not so secretly) enjoy watching people who have risen to great success suddenly plummet to the earth because — well, because they are human, and they have gotten caught being human. Part of the reason, I think, that we enjoy it so much is that it seems to give us permission not to attend to the darker parts of ourselves, to ignore the fact that we, too, are human and make as many mistakes as the famous and infamous. It is fun to be part of the clamoring crowd hauling others before the judgment seat. If we stop our clamoring, however, we will hear the words of Jesus that remind us that we are on the same level as those we seek to judge. We all stand in need of forgiveness, transformation, redemption, healing, and the opportunity to begin again.
I hope that Paula Deen will be able to use this crisis to grow as a human being. But will the rest of us?

Patient Enrollment Begins in Exploratory Phase II Trial of Novabay's Lead Aganocide Compound, NVC-422, in Catherer-Associated Urinary Tract Infections
By WEBDOGSNovember 18, 2008
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX: NBY, www.novabaypharma.com), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing non-antibiotic, anti-infective compounds for the treatment or prevention of a wide range of bacterial, fungal and viral infections, announced today that it has commenced patient enrollment in a Phase II Exploratory Study of hospitalized patients who are catheterized and have bacteriuria. This Phase II study is to explore the feasibility of developing NVC-422 as a product candidate to treat or prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
In this open-label study, designed to evaluate the activity of NVC-422 in the bladders of patients with bacteriuria, a solution of NVC-422 will be instilled into the catheter and bladder to determine whether NVC-422 can impact pre-existing bacteriuria. All patients will have levels of bacteria in their bladders that exceed 105 CFU per mL. The study is initially exploring the impact of single doses and may subsequently explore the use of multiple doses. Up to 20 patients will be enrolled.
According to the Annals of Internal Medicine (January 2006), indwelling urinary catheters, which are used in 15% to 25% of short-term care patients during their hospitalization, confer a predisposition to bacteriuria. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection, accounting for approximately 40% of such infections and for most of the 900,000 patients with nosocomial bacteriuria in U.S. hospitals each year. Adverse consequences include local and systemic morbidity, secondary bloodstream infection, death, a reservoir of drug-resistant microorganisms, and increased health care costs.
"After the successful completion of our Phase I study that demonstrated the safety and tolerability of an NVC-422 solution in the bladder, we are now beginning the exploration of its activity in patients. We expect to learn from this early Phase II study whether NVC-422 may be used to reduce bacteriuria which is seen to be a precursor to symptomatic Urinary Tract Infections that can be very serious for the patient and can significantly increase the costs of hospitalization," said Dr. Colin Scott, M.D., NovaBay's Vice President of Clinical Research and Development. He added that "We expect that there will be several small scale Phase II trials to test different modalities of treating or preventing CAUTI with NVC-422".
About CAUTI
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are the most common type of infection found in hospitals and long-term care institutions, with some reports putting the number as high as 1,000,000 cases per year. CAUTI accounts for 40% of all nosocomial (hospital) infections. When a urinary tract infection develops, there is the possibility of it progressing to become a serious and even life-threatening bloodstream infection. The use of urinary catheters is a routine part of the management of patients in hospitals and often of persons in long-term care facilities. However, the catheter provides a means of access for bacteria to the bladder. They rapidly form bacterial biofilm on the catheter and cause bacteriuria, which is a condition in which bacteria grow within the bladder without giving rise to symptoms, but may lead to serious medical complications. Typically, approximately 5% of catheterized patients per day develop bacteriuria. After a patient has been catheterized for a month, it is virtually certain that the patient will have bacteriuria. If the patient progresses to a urinary tract infection, physicians are faced with an increasing problem of resistant bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control, several recent studies have shown that prophylactic systemic antibiotics delay the emergence of catheter-related infection, but this protective effect was transient and was associated with the selection of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
About the Aganocide® Compounds
The Aganocide® compounds are proprietary novel molecules developed by NovaBay and are designed to mimic the same antimicrobial action as the small molecules produced naturally by white blood cells. The naturally produced molecules are highly effective against all bacteria, viruses and fungi, but are produced and used by the body "on demand" and do not have the chemical stability to permit their use as pharmaceutical products. In laboratory testing, the Aganocide® molecules maintain the efficacy and safety of the natural molecules but are stable, enabling their potential use as potent antimicrobial products.

Novabay Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results

Push the team forward.
That is Paul Westhead�s approach to his frenetic, fast-break offense.
It�s also the direction the Oregon women�s basketball coach wanted his players to go from the moment the forgettable 2012-13 season ended.
Despite finishing 4-27 during the injury-plagued campaign, the Ducks will enter this season with confidence.
�As I always teach every team I�ve ever coached, every year is a new life. This is life 50 for me,� said Westhead, the longtime NBA and college coach, who is in the fifth and final year of his contract at Oregon. �I do that for a lot of reasons. There�s no sense in talking about things that happened in the past that didn�t go real well. I mean, they don�t need to see replays of that. Even if it was terrific, there�s no sense lingering back to what you did right. ...
�I don�t think they have any vestige of, �Well, we didn�t do so well last year, did we coach?� They don�t get that from me.�
With the expected return of standout point guards Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen from knee injuries, double-double machine Jillian Alleyne at forward and the addition of talented freshmen Drea Toler and Shae Rowe, the Ducks believe they will have enough pieces in place to run Westhead�s high-tempo system.
�It�s going to be awesome and exciting to watch. It�s a lot of fast breaks, a lot of layups, a lot of shots,� Petersen said. �I�d say the key to running the point is just pushing the ball as fast as you can. Coach always says to go 100 miles an hour, once you do that as a point guard and kind of get the defense on their heels, everyone is wide open.�
At times last season there were only seven healthy players available, which meant the training room at Matthew Knight Arena was more crowded than the paint during practices.
�We�re just excited that we have pretty much a full complement of players. And right now we�re undefeated,� Westhead said. �It�s so early in the season, but their spirit is good, and I think they�re anxious for action.�
Oregon was not able to get through October practices completely healthy. Jordan Loera, a 5-foot-9 junior guard who started all 31 games last year, sustained a left knee injury and will take a medical redshirt this season.
Ariel Thomas, who averaged 10.6 points and 4.5 rebounds, missed some time after a collision in practice.
Stanulis and Petersen wore red jerseys during practices because they are not ready for full contact at this point. Both of them hope to be in the lineup when the season tips off.
There is still a determination within the ranks for the team to take a big step forward this season. The Ducks are so eager to celebrate some victories together, the regular-season opener against Cal State Bakersfield might be as important as any Pac-12 game for their collective psyche.
�I honestly think we�re going to have to win some games. We have confidence, but it needs to show,� Alleyne said. �We need to see the progress, and we definitely need to win some games to see that confidence.
�Once we start winning games, it will open up. But we�ve got to win that first game.�
Westhead and his assistants have been able to �clock� the progress of the more able-bodied roster this fall, monitoring the players� improving times getting from one end of the court to the other during practices and scrimmages.
Oregon scored only 60.8 points per game last season, which is less than half of what the Westhead�s 1990 Loyola Marymount men�s team averaged in 1990 when the Lions led the NCAA in scoring (122 ppg).
�This is not an easy deal, it�s a hard system. Therefore, it�s not as easy to calibrate how they�re doing until we get into game situations,� Westhead said. �I think our players now are even more conscious that speed is vital.�
The return of Petersen, who was injured in the first game last season, and Stanulis, who went down in the fifth game, will be extremely important.
�You can see in every practice it�s getting better. We�re going longer and faster,� Stanulis said. �Even the incoming freshmen have been adapting to it. I�m excited to see where it takes us this season, because we just keep improving every day.�
When the veteran guards are able to play at full speed in practice, it will give the team an emotional lift while also expediting the development of Toler and Rowe.
�Drea Toler showed up and played well, and so did Shae Rowe. They did not take a backseat,� Westhead said after Oregon�s first major full-team scrimmage. �They seem comfortable that they are going to be able to help us now, not as juniors.�
When the Oregon volleyball season ends, the team will also get a boost from three-sport star Liz Brenner, who averaged 7.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in 20 games last season. Katelyn Loper, a 5-11 redshirt junior, will also add some size to the lineup after sitting out last season following her transfer from Hofstra.
Thomas, who had to fill in at point guard last season, will be able to play shooting guard. Alleyne, a 6-3 forward, is expected to take her game to even greater heights after earning Pac-12 freshman-of-the-year honors averaging a team-high 13.0 points and 11.9 rebounds.
�It feels like a whole new team, new atmosphere. I thought that from the first day we came back in September,� Petersen said. �Everyone is excited to be here, excited to be playing. I think we�re going to surprise some teams for sure.�
The Ducks have exhibition games at home against Western Oregon on Wednesdsay and Oregon Tech (Nov. 4) before playing nine of their 11 nonconference games at Matthew Knight Arena. The two road games are at UConn (Nov. 20) and Seattle (Dec. 4).
�I think the pre-conference schedule should help you get ready and it should be positive. If the kids play a certain number at home, it gives them good feelings,� Westhead said. �And we play a couple of road games to let them know the road is not easy. I don�t think we need 10 UConn games to figure that one out. One road game against them is like five.�
It will be much more difficult to get off to a fast start in Pac-12 play. The Ducks open the conference slate at Stanford (Jan. 3) with five of their first six conference games on the road.
The good news for forward-thinking Oregon: six of the final eight regular-season games will be at Matthew Knight Arena.
�That�s the ultimate goal is to have a winning season. I think everyone�s hoping we can make it to a postseason tournament,� said Stanulis, a fifth-year senior from Portland. �We do have great fans, they still show up, but I think we could get some new fans this season.�


This year's conference theme is: The Power of Organisational Research: the contribution of HR postgraduate students. Our keynote speaker, aptly enough, is our freshly-minted Professor in Organisational Studies, Juliette Koning!
The PG HRM teaching and supervision team would be delighted if you chose to join us at our 5th Annual Postgraduate HR Research Conference on Saturday 18 November from 9.30am to 1pm, followed by lunch.
The principal audiences for this conference are current PG HRM students and local HR professionals (the conference is a jointly badged event with the Oxford CIPD Branch). In addition, though, we believe the conference may be of interest to our wider OBBS research community and to any Masters student undertaking organisationally-based research. Between 8 and 10 graduating PG HRM students will present their findings and also reflect on their conceptual frameworks and research designs - all of which may be of use to other Masters students about to embark on a dissertation. Programme Leads are thus very welcome to publicise the event to other PG cohorts if they so choose.
If you or those you publicise the event to would like to attend, please do sign up in advance. This is essential for our catering planning.
I'd also like to record my appreciation here of our hard-working dissertation supervision team and the programme support team who provide the essential infrastructure that underpins these dissertation modules. We shall rightly applaud our student achievements on 18th November but here I would also like to applaud the multiple and much-valued contributions of my colleagues.
We hope to see some of you at our conference. Please click here for a poster containing more information about the event.


On Wednesday June 20th Warwick University attempted to break the Guinness World Record for largest blanket fort, in aid of LWS night shelter.
The build took place on one of their beautiful green spaces on campus, the oculus field. On the day they asked for a small donation for people to come and chill inside their big cosy castle. There was also music, fairground rides, a bar and food stands to keep the party going!
All proceeds have gone to their local homeless shelter LWS Night Shelter in Leamington Spa, and every blanket used to build the massive fort was cleaned and donated to homeless shelters all over Warwickshire, including Coventry Cyrenians.
We were very grateful to receive them. They are being handed out to clients.


G r u v l e n d !
We are happy to announce that the song "Miracle (Flower)" that started Gruvlend's big project "Planet Gruvlend!" found approval with authors of previous versions of the song "Les Fleur" which it is based on.
Makers of 2001 version 4Hero, whose arrangement we used as blueprint, published the song on their Facebook profile with their commendations to numerous positive reactions from around the world - http://www.facebook.com/4hero?fref=ts.
"I just wanted to state for the record how delighted I am with the Planet Gruvend recording of Les Fleur... translated title: Miracle (Flower). Actually "delighted" is not a strong enough word to describe how excited I am about your version of this song that I wrote with the late, great Charles Stepney many moons ago. It is a very special song for me and I am so happy to report that you and your amazing collection of brilliant and soulful singers and musicians really captured and expressed the universality that lives at the heart of Les Fleur.
I also think it sounds truly great in Serbo-Croatian, which just serves to further demonstrate the power of music to cross all boundaries and reach the hearts of people everywhere no matter the language. Everyone I have played it for absolutely flips over it but also understands the feeling and love conveyed in the music.
I am also completely blown away by the depth of talent in the Serbian musical universe demonstrated in this recording! I only hope we can find a way to collaborate on many more projects together in the near future.
Thank you for this beautiful recording.
In the two months of being published song "Miracle/Flower" by various artists of project "Planet Gruvlend!" was viewed more than 50,000 times on our Youtube channel and was downloaded over 4,000 times. The song hit all relevant music charts locally and got attention of many news media.
Song "Miracle/Flower" will be available for free download on our website until the end of February only due to impending strategic changes in the project. Hurry up and get your free copy while you can!
Year 2012, although now we can say was just another year in which the Apocalypse did not come, was still turbulent in many respects. We witnessed many a breakdown, human ups and downs, social and political upheavals, all of it topped with a growing lack of everyone's best friend - hard cash.
To remind ourselves, at five minutes to midnight on December 31 of last year, after five long winter nights spent in the editing room with legendary Yugoslavian filmmaker Jovan Joca Jovanović, Gruvlend published the video for the song "U opasnosti", the fifth and final single of Zemlja gruva, using material from the feature film "Mlad i zdrav kao ruža", and ended the year with the quote from the song lyrics "… do something to make this world a better place, now!"
Still, not a lot was actually done, since the second year is coming to a close without any new releases from the band Zemlja gruva, which created tension and ultimately led to irreconcilable differences about managing the band and other production activities. After months of turmoil, speculation, unfounded rumors and sometimes malicious gossip, all of it resulted in Zemlja gruva deciding not to participate in the project "Planet Gruvlend!", definitively ending the many years of collaboration between the group and its publisher Gruvlend. The band continued on their own, under new management and with changing lineups, while Gruvlend turned to a new, very ambitious project - "Planet Gruvlend!"
We use this opportunity to thank the band Zemlja gruva on our collaboration which resulted in publishing the album "WTF is Gruvlend?". We believe that this is a seminal release since it represents the effort of a critical mass of right people, good energy, skill and talent, as well as many a sleepless night at the studio, which all will be difficult to replicate any time soon. We too are eager to hear new material by Zemlja gruva, and we wish well to all the band members and many hit records in the time to come. However, any further material of Zemlja gruva will not be a release of "Gruvlend!" label, nor will we be associated with or responsible in any way for it in the future. For all booking information and updates on activities of the band please go to their web presentation or their Facebook page.
We, on the other hand, in our on-going quest for groove, awaited the end of this year with the lyrics of the song "Miracle (Flower)", the first and most important single off of the album "Planet Gruvlend!" currently in the making and which will put together many artists on the music scene in new collaborations that will take place for the first time. We declared the End of the World to be - The New Beginning and we boldly stepped into the New Era, with new challenges to successfully overcome, with your help and support.
Endings wear out, beginnings always last.
Beginning - that is what comes last.
Project "Planet Gruvlend!" is being launched with the release of the song and video "Miracle" featuring more than twenty artists of all generations on the music scene.
Culture Organization Božidarac and Gruvlend! invite you to a big dance party to mark project "Planet Gruvlend!" launch, Friday December 21 at 20h in Božidarac, 3 Radoslava Grujića.
Project "Planet Gruvlend!" will officially start with the premiere of the song and video "Miracle" which features more than twenty names of the music scene (Bisera Veletanlić, Leo Martin, Bebi Dol, Oliver Nektarijević, Bojana Stamenov, Bane Lalić, Emilja Đonin, Vukašin Marković, Dana Gašić, Marčelo and Struka, children choir "Kolibri", Miša Blam, Stjepko Gut, Vasil Hadžimanov, Momčilo Bajagić Bajaga, Rambo Amadeus, Zvonimir Đukić Đule, Marko Stojanović Maraqya and Goran Čaki Savić).
All participants of the "Planet Gruvlend!" project are invited to attend the event on December 21 in Božidarac to celebrate together the Holiday of Groove and instead of the End of the World await the New Beginning!
Project Pilot - Single "Miracle (Flower)"
Single "Miracle (Flower)" represents the first and most important song off of the album "Planet Gruvlend!" the release of which marks the beginning of the namesake project. Official release of the song and the accompanying music video is scheduled for 21/12/2012, the day of the alleged Apocalypse and Great Galactic Alignment. Although this date has many negative connotations, within the mythology of our project it is a symbol of the new beginning rather than the end of the world. The idea behind the project managed to gather together, in one song, biggest names on the music scene from its beginning until the present, which these days truly is - a miracle in itself.
The song "Miracle (Flower)" is based on a 1970 Minnie Riperton number "Les Fleur" that was licensed to Gruvlend by Warner Music, and our arrangment adaptation is based on the 2001 version by the British band 4hero.
Video for the song "Miracle (Flower)" was shot in the recording studio on secret location where for twelve intense days all singers and musicians along with the children choir ran the production mill. All these good spirits who flashed in sequence contributed to making the miracle really - happen. Then, cameras went outside and about town to capture culture warriors of trades other than music who each individually, on locations they selected themselves, all together stood behind this appeal for awakening planetary consciousness and a new beginning.
"Planet Gruvlend!" is a unique phenomenon on our music scene in which its most prominent representatives from the late sixties to today are presented to wide audiences in a series of interdisciplinary events over six months, starting on the alleged day of the Apocalypse 21/12/2012 and culminating with a music spectacle scheduled for 21/06/2013, the World Music Day.
The basic idea of project "Planet Gruvlend!" is exchange of experience of established aces of the scene with the energy of younger, up and coming artists, captured on the concept album of the same name, which calls for awakening of planetary consciousness and a new way of thinking.
Through the prism of various music genres that represent the world's musical heritage, this project follows the development of our culture and society over time, and every song on the album reflects a certain epoch and is a product of collaboration of artists performing together for the first time.
In addition to being motivational, this project has broad cultural significance because it tells the story of development of popular music, as well as society in Serbia and the region, specifically Belgrade as its center. Underlying music thread of this entire project is groove, a unique danceable element in popular music, and as such, fundamental criterion that each participant must meet.
Long Live Gruvlend! New Website is up!
Dear visitors, welcome to Gruvlend 2.0.
First release Gruvlend GR001 Zemlja Gruva "WTF is Gruvlend?"
After two and a half years of free download from gruvlend.net over 40,000 mp3 versions of Zemlja gruva's debut album went to computers, smart phones, digital players and memory sticks! We close the chapter of history of Gruvlend as the first label to offer free download of the entire release in Serbia.
U opasnosti - final single from the debut album "WTF is Gruvlend?" by Belgrade's band Zemlja gruva represents simultaneously their New Year's Greeting. The message of the song is not in the usual spirit of Chrismas, but rather in the spirit of the times ahead of us, the year marked as Apocalyptic, and also election year in Serbia.
The video was made in collaboration with Jovan Joca Jovanović, legendary Yugoslavian and Serbian film director. The video was made using sequences from the film "Mlad i zdrav kao ruža" and was edited by the author himself to the music and lyrics of Zemlja gruva. The video and song combined to create new context and depth.
Jovan Joca Jovanović, "enfant terrible" of Yugoslav cinematography with only one feature film managed to break all the taboos of socialist society and show that it is possible to make a brave and sincere work of art that pushes boundaries even in the authoritarian system. The film that, according to critics, represents "a slap in the face of conventions", Joca Jovanović depicts the underworld in the seventies and builds the portrait of antihero who becomes the model for everything that we had to live through during the nineties and the consequences of which we still feel today.
"... do something to make this world a better place, now!"

In just eight episodes (out of which number seven was never recorded or was deleted from archives, while the last one, number eight, was just a tracklist) radio Gruvlend crew with Silent Niche who speechlessly watched over social networks during the show, and the rest from band Zemlja Gruva who helped him select tracks and chattered about light topics, and who were later on further joined by Moustache Nesh, did their second season 2010/11 of the radio show, this time not in the form of a radio drama but a standard afternoon talk-radio. How popular was the show is probably best described by the length of time it ran on radio B92 airwaves, nevertheless leaving indelible mark on the quest for groove and its definition that Radio Gruvlend started in its first season on internet radio NRBG. Check it out, particularly - the music selection.
Selection of most prominent achievements in the groove department for 2010, handpicked by Gruvlend. Enjoy!
Gruvlend!Sessions is a series of events that was born from the need to move music selection of Gruvlend crew to clubs around town and share it with the public. The idea of Gruvlend!Sessions came from Niche who recruited Zoe Kida, singer of Zemlja Gruva, to co-host the many resident DJ nights during the first season.
These sessions became legendary and Friday nights at the small club Kućica near the Temple of St. Sava on Vračar rocked week in week out. Gruvlend!Sessions became a brand in itself and toured the many night clubs of the capital while becoming synonymous with fresh grooves and good times till the wee hours of the morning.
Radio Gruvlend was conceived as a little team building exercise Nesh came up with to organize band members of Zemlja Gruva who were working on their debut album to try and start finishing things up. What they managed to finish up every week became an hour-long radio show in the form of a radio drama where the only subject was groove and its elusive definition. Gruvlend declared independence and seceded from the rest of the world and mandated visas for entry. There was only one qualifying condition - that the invited guest's work has - groove.
The newly formed banana state soon got its functionaries - Zoe Kida became Minister of Groove, Konstrakta - Mother of Groove, MC Milovan took the role of President of Gruvlend, Perica became President's Assistant (and left hand), Shobaya - Prime Minister of Gruvlend's puppet Government, Niche naturally took on the role of Chief of Propaganda while Nesh, recently arrived from afar, was left with the position of High Commissioner for Gruvlend.
Sessions of the expanded Government of Gruvlend, as they were internally referred to, were recorded and turned into radio shows that for three months during winter of 2009/10 entertained listeners Thursdays at midnight on internet radio New Radio BelGrade. Additionally, every participant put together their 60 minute long playlist to complement the show and the DJ/selector was rotated every week. That is how Radio Gruvlend phenomenon came to be, ran its first season on the internet and then moved to terrestrial radio B92 in the next season.

In 2013 almost every professional person is connected via social media. LinkedIn, Facebook, Google +, Twitter and blogs are just a few examples.
If first impressions count then ask yourself, what does your current photo say about you?
A quick search of one of my LinkedIn groups revealed that almost half of the users don't have a profile image. Of those only about 10% had a profile image that is of acceptable quality. Is this you?
I found many CEO's, business development managers, project managers, consultants, directors etc. with profile images that are not only unprofessional but just appalling!
You don't have to be a corporate professional to have a head shot, whether you're a personal trainer, model, actor, dancer, presenter, life coach or real estate agent, a professional head shot is the best way to make a great first impression.
If your photo is too close; the face should not fill the entire frame so include some shoulders - that's why it's called a head and shoulder portrait!
Artsy fartsy images? Forget it, keep it nice and simple.
Head over to corporate portraits by über photography to see some samples of great executive portraits.
It creates the desired impression you want to portray, be it professional, relaxed, formal or informal.
By contrast a poor head shot will lead clients to make a negative snap decision about you.
You have about 1 second to grab someone's attention when they browse the list of profiles, so make it count. A professional head and shoulder photo will get them clicking at your profile and read that amazing resume you have been building up.
So make a great impression first time, every time and get a professional corporate portrait or head and shoulder photo done. For the relatively small cost you'll get a great image that you can use again and again.
For the record here is my LinkedIn profile.
Chris is a commercial photographer with a studio in Killara on Sydney's North Shore. He specializes in corporate portraits, head shots and profile photos for actors.

Originally published in Graham's Magazine in April of 1846, The Philosophy of Composition is perhaps the greatest thing I've ever read on the subject of writing. Poe takes The Raven and completely demystifies it. At the same time, we learn about his process, his deliberate choices, and everything else that led to the poem's creation.
You can read the full text here: The Philosophy of Composition. Please do. It's amazing.
If you're pressed for time, I've included a few of my favorite passages below.
Most writers fall into two camps: plotters and (I hate this word) pantsers. I've always been the latter, preferring to throw characters into a situation and see what happens. Poe, it appears, would laugh in my monkey face if he heard me say that.
A hundred people on /r/writing could write a hundred posts about how starting from the end is the only way to write a story and I wouldn't give a damn. But if Poe is saying it, then perhaps I need to be a little open-minded.
Either history affords a thesis — or one is suggested by an incident of the day — or, at best, the author sets himself to work in the combination of striking events to form merely the basis of his narrative — designing, generally, to fill in with description, dialogue, or autorial comment, whatever crevices of fact, or action, may, from page to page, render themselves apparent.
I don't recall ever having thought of an ending before beginning a story until very recently. And in the mother of all coincidences, it is a short story that ties heavily into The Raven. Whether or not my story evokes the same kinds of feelings as the poem, or to the same degree, at least I can say it was written in a similar process: identifying a denouement and then writing a story with the ending always in mind.
I select "The Raven," as most generally known. It is my design to render it manifest that no one point in its composition is referrible either to accident or intuition — that the work proceeded, step by step, to its completion with the precision and rigid consequence of a mathematical problem.
After choosing a length for the poem, Poe then focuses on impression and tone.
I should be carried too far out of my immediate topic were I to demonstrate a point upon which I have repeatedly insisted, and which, with the poetical, stands not in the slightest need of demonstration — the point, I mean, that Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem.
[M]y next question referred to the tone of its highest manifestation — and all experience has shown that this tone is one of sadness. Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. Melancholy is thus the most legitimate of all the poetical tones.
The further I read, the worse I feel about my haphazard method of story construction. Although I strive to correct and normalize tone and impression during revisions, I imagine it would cut down on a lot of work if I started writing with both of those things well in mind. Maybe the plotters have a point.
I determined to produce continuously novel effects, by the variation of the application of the refrain — the refrain itself remaining, for the most part, unvaried.
This led me at once to a single word as the best refrain.
That such a close, to have force, must be sonorous and susceptible of protracted emphasis, admitted no doubt: and these considerations inevitably led me to the long o as the most sonorous vowel, in connection with r as the most producible consonant.
The sound of the refrain being thus determined, it became necessary to select a word embodying this sound, and at the same time in the fullest possible keeping with that melancholy which I had predetermined as the tone of the poem.
A lot of what Poe wrote made sense to me, until it came to the following paragraph where he talks about meter. I suppose I could look up what all of these words mean and try to decipher the text, but maybe leaving The Raven with a little mystery isn't such a bad thing.
Of course, I pretend to no originality in either the rhythm or metre of the "Raven." The former is trochaic — the latter is octametre acatalectic, alternating with heptameter catalectic repeated in the refrain of the fifth verse, and terminating with tetrameter catalectic. Less pedantically — the feet employed throughout (trochees) consist of a long syllable followed by a short: the first line of the stanza consists of eight of these feet — the second of seven and a half (in effect two-thirds) — the third of eight — the fourth of seven and a half — the fifth the same — the sixth three and a half. Now, each of these lines, taken individually, has been employed before, and what originality the "Raven" has, is in their combination into stanza; nothing even remotely approaching this combination has ever been attempted.
I don't know what the hell you just said, Mr. Poe, but I like it.
Besides breaking down the construction of The Raven, and even going so far as to summarize the entire poem into a simplistic story, Poe also reveals a few things a reader may not have noticed. Even after numerous readings, I never properly understood the significance of the final paragraph.
It will be observed that the words, "from out my heart," involve the first metaphorical expression in the poem. They, with the answer, "Nevermore," dispose the mind to seek a moral in all that has been previously narrated. The reader begins now to regard the Raven as emblematical — but it is not until the very last line of the very last stanza, that the intention of making him emblematical of Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance is permitted distinctly to be seen.
In some ways, this article feels a lot like a magician revealing the secrets behind his tricks.
If you skimmed through this post and found the passages I selected interesting, I really suggest taking the time to read Poe's entire article. It may just open your eyes to new ideas about composition.
What really stands out to me is the confidence with which Poe approaches his work. He knows exactly how he wants to make the reader feel and he knows exactly how he's going to do it. He selects the proper length of the piece, the impression, and the tone. He chooses words that have the most impact, he uses common structures in a new way, and he write consistently towards his ultimate goal. It's amazing to see the scaffolding behind one of history's most famous poems.
So after all of that, whose writing advice do I like better? Poe or Stephen King?

Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Chairman, Emergency Medicine, St. Joseph's Health, recently testified before Congress on a new bill introduced by Congressman Bill Pascrell based on the St. Joseph's ALTO® (Alternatives to Opioids) program. If approved, the new bill would earmark funds for the expansion of the St. Joseph's ALTO® program all across the country.
Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Chairman of Emergency Medicine and Chief Innovations Officer for St. Joseph's Health, recently testified before Congress in support of new legislation based on the St. Joseph's ALTO® (Alternatives to Opioids) program.
The Energy & Commerce Congressional Subcommittee - Combating the Opioid Crisis: Prevention and Public Health Solutions – convened a panel of experts from various fields to hear testimony on over 25 bills submitted for consideration as they look for answers and options in addressing the national opioid epidemic.
One of the new legislative bills is The Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO®) in the Emergency Department Act, introduced by New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Bill Pascrell to help boost resources for hospitals in the fight against opioid addiction. The New Jersey legislators were joined by representatives from West Virginia and Colorado in the bill's submission, which features the original protocols established at St. Joseph's University Medical Center in 2016. If approved, the new bill would earmark funds for the expansion of the St. Joseph's ALTO(sm) program across the country.
In the two years the program has been operational, ALTO® has decreased opioid prescriptions in the St. Joseph's University Medical Center Emergency Department by 82%.
In forming the Subcommittee on Health, Congress noted that the Opioid Epidemic is in our hospitals, in our living rooms, and on our streets – in communities across America, individuals and families are suffering from addiction, overdose, and loss of loved ones.

In Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, there are nine families fighting to keep school open for special education and other needs even though the state plans to close them for the day. Two lawsuits are currently pending on behalf of these students in an effort to keep public schools open even though the state had plans to furlough teachers on 17 Fridays over the next few months.
The parents filing the lawsuits want to keep their children in school and around their classmates during these furlough days and hope to have their case heard by Judge David Ezra in the U.S. District Court. They are hoping to get a temporary injunction in place. This lawsuit states that the state has "violated the procedural safeguards" in place through the federal law that protect and prohibit unilateral modifications for any type of special education and related services.
Another lawsuit, filed by attorney Eric A. Seitz is also scheduled to be heard and is on behalf of regular, special education and charter school students in the state. The lawsuits state that Hawaii is breaking the state's obligation to provide 180 days of education, five days per week to Hawaii students. The class action lawsuit, on behalf of all students in the state, states that the furloughs disproportionately affect some racial groups and certain classes specifically.
Although the state's Department of Education claims that they have yet to see the lawsuit, Attorney General Mark Bennett believes the lawsuits are without merit. The state Board of Education has welcomed the lawsuits because their goal is to restore educational days to the students. Through the publicity from such an action, the school board hopes that this will force the governor and the Legislature to find the necessary funding.
The new contract signed by the state Department of Education and the Hawaii State Teachers Association requires there to be 17 furlough days in the current school year and the coming school year. The amount of money these days would save has yet to be noted, however the goal is the cost savings to be put towards the $127 million cut that the department is facing after the state's budget shortfall.
If you are a school district administrator with a question about student/teacher safety, special education, accommodations, student rights, free speech or discipline, feel free to call Richard Oppenheim at 818-461-8500. There is never a charge for an initial consultation and we can help you choose the best direction to resolve any school district issue.

NDSU CNSE Lab to Analyze Clay Samples from ND Oilpatch Counties
Fargo, N.D. – Scientists in a lab at NDSU's Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) are analyzing materials that could eventually play a role in North Dakota oil exploration.
As part of a research agreement with the North Dakota Geological Survey (NDGS) in Bismarck, N.D., the Materials Characterization and Analysis Laboratory at NDSU CNSE is analyzing 198 clay samples to determine their composition and suitability for use as a component in hydraulic fracturing. The clays show early promise for potential use as a key material known as ceramic proppant, used in the fracking process to help keep fractures open. The fracking process is used to extract oil and natural gas deep within the ground in places such as the Williston Basin.
The MCAL lab at CNSE provides scientific expertise and a unique set of analytical capabilities and instruments not typically found in other settings. "The lab has excellent analytical equipment, a very good reputation for generating accurate results in a timely manner, and the lab personnel are easy to work with," said Ed Murphy, state geologist for North Dakota.
Energy industry publications have referenced shortages of proppant. Results from the scientific study of the samples could shed light on whether North Dakota could eventually supply some of the proppant materials needed for oil exploration.
The clay, known as kaolinite, is found in some hillsides in western North Dakota. Researchers at NDSU CNSE will use x-ray fluorescence to determine which elements and how much of those elements are contained in samples from the various locations. Out of the 198 samples, the scientists will also analyze 36 clay samples using x-ray diffraction to determine the amount of kaolinite, illite, chlorite and other substances that may be in the samples. The testing is expected to take approximately five months. The samples being tested at CNSE come from Adams, Bowman, Dunn, Golden Valley, Grant, Hettinger, Mercer, Morton, Slope, and Stark counties.
"The labs and scientific staff at NDSU CNSE have unique capabilities. We frequently partner with agencies and industry on projects," said Philip Boudjouk, vice president for research at NDSU. "We're glad to be able to provide such expertise that may be of future assistance to the state's energy enterprise."

Libya lifts ban on live cattle exports from Ireland
Updated / Friday, 9 Jun 2000 21:38
The Irish and Libyan Governments have signed an agreement that lifts the ban on live cattle exports from Ireland to Libya. Full permanent diplomatic relations will also be established between the two countries. The IFA has described the development as a "major boost."
Libya had been the single biggest exporter of live cattle from Ireland. The live trade is important, because it helps to create competition here and underpin prices for farmers. Libya has been importing £70m worth, or up to 50,000 animals, a year from Ireland. However, the trade ended abruptly after the BSE crisis in 1996. Instead of Ireland, Libya was importing cattle from Australia. Strong efforts have been underway for the past four years to get the trade resumed. Ivan Yates spoke of a breakthrough before he left office. Tom Parlon also thought that he had secured a breakthrough in 1998. The same year a Libyan delegation clinched a deal in Dublin and despite farmers being given a resumption date in October 1998, the cattle never sailed to Tripoli.
Several weeks ago the Taoiseach met the Libyan leader General Gadaffi in Cairo. Today in Tripoli, the Minster for Foreign Affairs, Brian Cowen, reached a firm agreement about re-opening the trade. It has been agreed that Ireland will now be officially listed as a source country for all tenders opened by Libya for the supply of live cattle. They may also consider taking beef imports. Ireland is now far less reliant on Tripoli than it was and it is thought that the resumption of trade with Libya will be gradual. Last year was a record one for live exports, with over 400,000 animals being shipped to countries other than Libya, and, this year, the live trade could be up by as much as a third.

What is the Cost & Value of Privacy for High Net Worth Individuals?
May 17, 2019 /0 Comments/in Blog /by 001
With wealth comes fame and luxury but not privacy. The richer you get, the more attention you receive from the public, and as a result, your privacy begins to diminish. For this reason, billionaires and millionaires are paying a fortune to enjoy their fundamental right to privacy.
Hidden Homes
In this digital age, it is difficult to live a private life especially if you are a public figure, a celebrity or a billionaire. It is now easier to find people's home addresses than it was decades ago. To stay invisible, millionaires and billionaires turn to pricey tactics such as building underground homes which cost about 185 million dollars or panic rooms worth half a million dollars. They also hide their assets and property from GPS tracking and reside in neighborhoods that are absent on the Google street view. These neighborhoods are pricey but private and very secure.
Millionaires and billionaires have always opted for private travel for privacy and security reasons. It costs up to 30,000 US dollars to hire a private jet to Los Angeles from New York and owning a private jet is even more costly. Billionaires also own luxurious and expensive vacation homes and private islands where they can unwind and have fun without public or paparazzi interference. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, for example, owns a luxurious vacation home in Beverly Hills worth twenty-five million dollars. Some millionaires opt for private suites in hotels and services such as separate security lines to keep off the public eye. These suites and services do not come cheap, but privacy for the rich and famous comes with a price.
Internet and social media access are available and affordable for most people. The wealthy, however, interact and socialize differently through the internet. They utilize high-end privacy and security measures to protect their data. They also use exclusive networks such as ' Rich Kids' with a monthly subscription of 1,000 dollars to socialize with other rich people. They have dating sites such as 'Luxy' that are exclusively for the rich. These networks enable them to only interact with their fellow rich people and not the rest of the world. Such sites require high payments to keep the public away and protect the privacy of its members.
Private Medical Services
Billionaires have the power to do just about anything their way. When sick, most wealthy people bring in doctors and set wards inside their homes instead of going to the hospital. These habits are very costly but also useful in maintaining privacy and security as compared to staying at hospitals that are accessible to anyone. Those who opt to get treated in hospitals secure luxurious private rooms in the best hospitals that keep them hidden and separate from the rest of the patients and staff. Some billionaires also prefer hiring highly trained teachers or trainers to educate or train their children from the comfort and privacy of their homes as opposed to institutions.
In conclusion, the right to privacy is a privilege that the rich have to pay to have. There are companies that specialize in the billionaire's privacy & confidentiality services that help high net worth clients set-up anonymous lifestyles.

Cronologia descoperirilor planetelor și sateliților naturali din sistemul solar arată procesul descoperirii corpurilor noi din sistemul solar de-a lungul timpului. Obiectele sunt listate în ordinea cronologică a descoperirii lor (mai multe date apar atunci când momentele corespunzătoare realizării primelor imagini, observării și publicării diferă între ele), fiind identificate prin diversele lor denumiri (inclusiv sistemele temporare și permanente) și enumerarea descoperitorilor.

Istoric, denumirea sateliților nu corespunde întotdeauna timpului când au fost descoperiți. În mod tradițional, descoperitorul se bucură de privilegiul de a da o denumire noului obiect; cu toate acestea, unii au neglijat să facă acest lucru (E. E. Barnard a declarat că "amână orice sugestie cu privire la o denumire [pentru Amalthea] până la o dată ulterioară" dar nu a ales niciuna din numeroasele sugestii pe care le-a primit) sau au refuzat în mod deliberat (S. B. Nicholson a declarat: "Mulți au întrebat cum vor trebui denumiți noii sateliți [(Lysithea și Carme)]. Aceștia vor fi cunoscuți numai sub numerele X și XI, scrise în cifre romane și precedate, de obicei, de litera J pentru a le identifica cu Jupiter."). Problema denumirii a apărut aproape la fel de curând cu descoperirea însăși a sateliților planetari: Galileo s-a referit la cei patru sateliți principali ai lui Jupiter utilizând numerele, în timp ce denumirile sugerate de către rivalul său Simon Marius au devenit treptat unanim acceptate. Uniunea Astronomică Internațională (UAI) a început, în cele din urmă, clarificarea chestiunii denumirilor la sfârșitul anilor 1970.</onlyinclude>

Cheie
În tabelele de mai jos, sateliții planetari sunt indicați cu caractere aldine (de exemplu Luna), în timp ce planetele și planetele pitice, care orbitează direct în jurul Soarelui, cu caractere italice (de exemplu Pământ). Tabelele sunt clasificate în funcție de data publicării/anunțării. Datele sunt adnotate cu următoarele simboluri:
 i: pentru primele imagini (fotografii, etc.);
 o: pentru data primei observări de către om, fie prin telescop sau pe placă fotografică (momentul real al descoperirii);
 p: pentru data anunțării sau publicării.
În câteva cazuri, data este incertă și este marcată atunci cu "(?)".

* Notă: Sateliții marcați cu un asterisc (*) au avut descoperiri complicate. Unii au necesitat ani pentru a fi confirmați, iar în unele cazuri au fost de fapt pierduți și redescoperiți. Alții au fost descoperiți în fotografiile făcute de Voyager, câțiva ani mai târziu după realizarea lor.
