World War II Message Found On Dead Carrier Pigeon Puzzles Code Breakers
By Sreeja VN
The top code breakers from GCHQ, Britain's most elite secret intelligence service, failed to crack a coded World War II message found attached to the leg of a dead carrier pigeon, and they now seek the help of retired spies and the public.
The remains of the pigeon were found in a chimney at a house in Bletchingley, Surrey, in England, when the owner of the house was renovating his 17th century house.
David Martin found the bones of the dead carrier pigeon, along with a red canister attached to the one of the bird's leg bones. The canister contained a small piece of paper labeled "Pigeon Service." The paper had a series of handwritten letters on it, allegedly a coded message sent to the allied forces during the World War II.
The message in the paper has 27 coded words, with each containing five alphabets. Modern-day code-breakers in UK intelligence tried their best to decipher the meaning, but they failed to decode it, according to a Sky News report.
The coded letters, starting with "AOAKN," make no sense to casual readers. Experts have identified the name of the pigeon as "40TW194" from a small aluminum ring found attached to its leg. The first two letters indicate the year of birth of the pigeon.
However, three crucial pieces of information -- the date of the message, its destination and its sender -- are missing, making it difficult to decode the encryption.
Experts believe the pigeon was flying back to Bletchley Park from France on June 6, 1944. It might have rested on the chimney due to exhaustion and got stuck in the fireplace.
Pigeons were widely used for wartime communication during that period, and most of the messages were secured with multiple encryptions, and using different methods.
According to the GCHQ, the message is probably encoded with a codebook or one-time pad encoding system that was prevalent during the time, and deciphering it may require the same code book.
"Without access to the relevant codebooks and details of any additional encryption used, it will remain impossible to decrypt," the intelligence agency said.
The complexity of the code stumped the intelligence agency, which admitted that the code appeared unbreakable.
"Although it is disappointing that we cannot yet read the message brought back by a brave carrier pigeon, it is a tribute to the skills of the wartime code-makers that, despite working under severe pressure, they devised a code that was indecipherable both then and now," a GCHQ spokesman said.
The experts believe that the message which the pigeon carried might be a top secret considering the strength of its encryption.
"The message Mr. Martin found must be highly top secret. We have more than 30 messages from Second World War carrier pigeons in our exhibition, but not one is in code. We know it's an Allied forces pigeon because of the red capsule it was carrying, but that's all we know," said Colin Hill, curator of Bletchley Park's Pigeons at War exhibition, Scotsman News reported.
The spy agency is trying to identify the sender and addressee -- mentioned as "Sjt W Stot" and "X02" in the message -- for clues to decode the message.
The Royal Air Force trained 250,000 birds for the National Pigeon Service, and the services of these "secret agents" were widely used in various divisions of the military to pass secret messages.

The term day is also used to refer to that part of each 24-hr period during which the sun's direct rays are not blocked by the earth, this period of daylight hours extending from sunrise to sunset; the remaining portion of the 24 hr is called night. If the plane of the earth's orbit about the sun coincided with the plane of the equator, day and night would each be 12 hr long everywhere on the earth all year long. However, because of the tilt of the earth's axis of rotation, the times of sunrise and sunset vary from day to day, with the result that in the Northern Hemisphere there are long days and short nights in the summer and short days and long nights in the winter.

(2) The light portion of the 24-hour period, between the rising and setting of the upper edge of the sun. Its length depends on geographical latitude and varies with the declination of the sun. At the equator the length of the day is roughly constant and is equal to approximately 12 hrs. At the poles the day lasts half a year. At latitudes from 0° to + 66°37' the length of the day is at a maximum at the summer solstice (June 22) and at a minimum at the winter solstice (December 22). On the other hand, at latitudes from 0° to -66°37' the day is shortest on June 22 and longest on December 22. Beyond the polar circles (latitude greater than +66°37' or less than -66°37'), the day lasts more than 24 hours (polar day), depending on the time of year (in the summer at the north pole and in the winter at the south pole). The length T of a day may be calculated from the formula cos t = -[sin(R + ρ) - sin δsin φ ]/(cos δ cos φ) T = 2t, where δ is the sun's declination, φ the geographical latitude, R the sun's angular radius (16'), and ρ the refraction at the horizon (34'). The length of the day between latitudes +34° and +64° on the 1st, 11th and 21st of each month is given in Table 1. The values are accurate to 2-3 minutes over the next 50. years.

Birds' Day, a spring holiday for schoolchildren, has been observed since 1926 (March 24 or on one of the first Sundays in April). Mass construction of wooden birdhouses is carried out in preparation for the arrival of the birds. Harvest Day is observed in many regions of the country.
The USSR and several foreign countries observe worldwide and international special days, which are given in Table 2.
a unit of time equal to 24 hours. A distinction is made between the sidereal day and the solar day. The sidereal day is the period of rotation of the earth relative to the vernal equinox. The solar day is the period of rotation of the earth relative to the sun.
The sidereal day is equal to the interval of time between two successive upper (or lower) transits of the vernal equinox. The moment at which this transit occurs is regarded as the beginning of the sidereal day—that is, as zero hour (hr) of sidereal time. A distinction is made between the apparent, or true, sidereal day and the mean sidereal day, depending on whether the true or mean vernal equinox is used: the motion of the true equinox is affected by precession and nutation, and the motion of the mean equinox is affected only by precession. As a result of the preces-sional motion of the vernal equinox, the mean sidereal day is 0.0084 sec shorter than the actual period of the earth's rotation. The duration of the apparent sidereal day is not constant and varies continuously owing to nutation.
It is inconvenient to use sidereal days for the measurement of time, since they do not coincide with the alternation of day and night. Consequently, solar days are generally employed. The solar day is equal to the time interval between two successive upper or lower transits of the sun—that is, between two successive noons or midnights. As a result of the ellipticity of the earth's orbit and the obliquity of the ecliptic, the time between two successive transits of the apparent, or true, sun—that is, the duration of the apparent, or true, solar day—is not constant. During the course of a year, the length of the apparent solar day varies from 24 hr 3 min 36 sec of sidereal time, in mid-September, to 24 hr 4 min 27 sec of sidereal time, in late December. To eliminate this variation, the mean length of the solar day over a year is used. Such a day is called the mean solar day and is equal to 24 hr 3 min 56.55536 sec of sidereal time. In civil time, the beginning of the mean solar day is the mean midnight, that is, the moment of the lower transit of the fictitious point on the celestial sphere known as the mean sun.
Like the mean solar day, the sidereal day is divided into hours, minutes, and seconds. The relation between the sidereal and solar units is as follows: one day, minute, or second of sidereal time is equal to 0.9972696 of the corresponding unit of mean solar time. The circumstance that the year does not contain a whole number of mean solar days is the principal difficulty encountered in the construction of the calendar.

What does it mean when you dream about daylight?
Daytime as opposed to nighttime represents the conscious mind as opposed to the unconscious. Seeing what we are doing. Can refer to one's mood: a sunny day is bright and cheerful whereas an overcast day is different. The word "day" plays a role in many idioms, from "bad hair day" to "make my day."

One of various units of time equal to the period of rotation of the earth with respect to one or another direction in space; specific examples are the mean solar day and the sidereal day.
One division in a window, as in a large church window.
The period taken by the earth to make one revolution around its own axis. A day is measured by successive transits of a reference point on the celestial sphere over the meridian, and each type takes its name from the reference used. Thus, for a solar day, the reference is the sun; for a mean solar day, the mean sun; and for an apparent solar day, the apparent sun. For a lunar day, the reference is the moon; for sidereal day, the vernal equinox; and for a constituent day, an astre fictif, or fictitious star. The expression lunar day refers also to the duration of one rotation of the moon with respect to the sun. A mean solar day is equal to 8.64 × 104 s, and a sidereal day is approximately equal to 8.616 × 104 s. A Julian day is from noon, universal time, on the given date to the noon of the following date.
1. the period of time, the sidereal day during which the earth makes one complete revolution on its axis relative to a particular star. The mean sidereal day lasts 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds of the mean solar day
2. the period of time, the solar day during which the earth makes one complete revolution on its axis relative to the sun. The mean solar day is the average length of the apparent solar day and is some four minutes (3 minutes 56.5 seconds of sidereal time) longer than the sidereal day

After many years of anticipation, the Class of 2019 finally gained access to their very own lounge. Many students at Parker School simply cannot wait until their senior year, this being the main component. Not only can seniors cut the food lines, create their own locker doors, and have superiority over all students, they receive a lounge that no one can place a foot in. This year's seniors were extremely eager to paint the lounge and transform it into their own. With fresh walls of baby blue paint and framed pictures of the class throughout the years, the lounge holds a special place in everyone's hearts. With a refrigerator, microwave, and a Keurig, the lounge meets every need of a hungry, sleep deprived teen. While the senior class is fairly large, the lounge still provides an enjoyable amount of space for students to sprawl. Not only does the lounge bring comfort and a place to relax, but it also carries excitement for the upcoming year ahead!

It keeps getting better for the NDP.
In a random sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 1268 Canadian voters, well more than a third will vote NDP if a federal election were held today (36%), while just more than a quarter would vote either Liberal or Conservative (28% each). This represents a slight increase for the NDP since last week (June 16 - 34%) and relative stability for the other two parties. The Green Party is reduced to very few votes (2%), as is the Bloc Quebecois (5%) or other parties (1%). ...
NDP Minority seen If these results are projected up to a 338 seat House of Commons, the NDP would take 149, 21 short of a majority, but up 20 since last week, while the Conservatives would take 116 and the Liberals would be limited to 65 seats. The Bloquistes would take 3 seats and the Green Party would keep their leader's seat.

It must be Canadawide then because there is no question the "not ready nice hair ads" have been having a similiar effect in BC.
There also is another huge issue on the horizon for Harper this summer in BC at least and maybe else where as well, that could put Harper right over the edge, and totally out of contention. It's called global warming and CBC TV Newsworld have been discussing it all day long.

So Pondering how can you say it is not OVER for Justin Trudeau and the Liberals?
You know it. I know it, everyone on this board knows it,
You do realize that the Liberals and Conservatives are tied for second. Maybe we should say Stephen Harper IT'S OVER?
Trudeau is polling above Michael Ignatieff's numbers. The Liberals are going to gain seats. What exactly is "over" for the Liberals?
If you really want to get down to it we should be saying Elizabeth May its OVER :-p
Plus an Ipsos poll:

So that's it for this week in polling.
It was not too very long ago the mainstream press were talking about the Liberals winning the next election. Now the same mainstream press are talking about the NDP winning the next election. A lot can happen between now and then, but it must be encouraging for some of the nervous nelly NDP supporters who had concerns about Mulcair's leadership, to see the recent polls and read the political headlines this week.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_42nd_Canadian_fede...
Mulcair needs to throw away the suit and tie, and put his jeans on - it's summertime.
Liberal supporters for some reason don't like Ipsos-Reid, although my research has shown them to be one of Canada's most accurate pollsters in federal elections.
Orange Crush Spreads as Federal NDP (35%, + 5) Surges to Take Lead Over Tied Liberals (29%, -2) and Conservatives (28%, -3)Voters Taking Hard Look at Mulcair NDP as they now Lead in Quebec, Prairies and British Columbia, in Three-Way Tie in Ontario and Trailing by Only Six Points in Alberta
NDP Making Gains in Key Battlegrounds…
The key to electoral victory in Canada is to win the most seats in the most populous regions of the country and the poll reveals that the NDP is winning – or competitive – in each of the those regions:
In Ontario, a three-way statistical tie has emerged among the Liberals (34%), Conservatives (33%) and NDP (31%), while the Green Party (2%) trails.
In Quebec, the NDP (41%) has a sizeable lead over the Liberals (23%), Bloc (22%), and Conservatives (13%).
In British Columbia, the NDP (40%) has opened a significant lead over the Conservatives (30%), Liberals (24%) and the Green Party (6%).
In Alberta, the Conservative (43%) lead over the NDP (37%) has shrunk to just six points with the Liberals (18%) and Greens (2%) well back.
In Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the NDP (37%) and Liberals (36%) are competing for the lead, while the Conservatives (25%) are falling behind, and the Green Party trails (2%).
In Atlantic Canada, the Liberals (51%) have a commanding lead over the Tories (25%), NDP (21%) and Green Party (3%), but there are very few seats for the Liberals to pick up in this region.
Harper's Name Presence Helps his Party's Fortunes While Mulcair's and Trudeau's for Theirs is a Wash…
In this poll of 2000 Canadians, one half of the respondents received the vote choice question with the leader's name mentioned after the party name, and the other half received the party name only. This allows Ipsos to measure the impact that the presence of a party leader has on the popular support of the party. While the presence of Stephen Harper's name appears to help the performance of his party in the poll, the presence of both Mulcair and Trudeau did not improve their party's performance. The chart below outlines these differences:
http://www.ipsos-na.com/news-polls/pressrelease.aspx?id=6899
The Toronto Star has been hiding its Poll Tracker these days. I wonder why!
If you look at the The Star they've been doing everything they can to save Trudeaumania deseperately, its pathetic they pretend they are anything other then the Liberal Party Oragan.
And now it's summertime.
NDP surging in Canadian federal polls and leading election race
Just four months from an expected federal election in October, the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) is widening its lead over the Conservatives and Liberals, according to a new Forum poll.
"The movement in the NDP's favour is slow, but it's gathering momentum. They're firmly in first in Quebec and B.C. and at parity in Ontario, which are three of the four biggest provinces."In spite of having a young new leader, Justin Trudeau, the popularity of the Liberal party has fallen from a peak in July of 2014 when it was 10 points ahead of the Conservatives and the NDP came in third. Among several possible mistakes made by Trudeau are his support for the Conservative anti-terrorism bill, even without any amendments.
http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/politics/ndp-surging-in-federal-polls...
As I have been saying -- the Liberals are better positionned than the Conservatives. In the Tooclosetocall simulator you get 140 NDO 102 Liberal and 91 Conservatives.
The Conservatives would end up with 4 in Atlantic; 4 in Quebec; 45 in Ontario; 3 in the prairies !!!; 24 in Alberta and 10 in BC
Liberals would have 25 in Atlantic Canada (more than the CPC keep in Alberta); 11 in Quebec (almost tripple the CPC); 48 in Ontario (3 more than the CPC); 9 in the prairies (triple the CPC) and 8 in BC (just 2 less than the CPC)
The NDP at 140 would be in a strong position.
Trudeau would lead the opposition.
NDP has now lead in the last 7 polls, and the NDP leads in eight of the last nine polls.
Looking at the polls - C51 anyone?
Last 4 also have the Conservatives in third or tied for third.
The trend against the Conservatives in the last little bit is stronger than against the Liberals.
Pierre C yr
No I dont think C 51 can get that much credit. And continuing spats of terrorists attacks like last week can change the mood in some voters on it. Its going to be on the economy which isnt doing well. We need that full economic policy platform. Seems to me the NDP would have the entire platform out by now but I get the sense of rolling out policy on a steady basis has stopped...
Trudeau voting for C51 has killed any hope of the voters looking to Liberals as a progressive option. Rght-wing voters can decide which of the two right-wing parties the Liberals or Conservatives they want to support in their attempt to halt the leading NDP.
I wonder what's Centrist's assessment of the BC ridings is now?
epaulo13
Is Northern Gateway B.C.'s National Energy Program?
The constitution requires the government consult First Nations groups on projects like Northern Gateway. When infrastructure is set to cross unceded territory – lands over which Indigenous communities assert collective ownership – the legal implications become all the more complicated.
Meanwhile Alberta's new premier, Rachel Notley, says she won't fight for it. As of Enbridge's last filing with the National Energy Board, not a single oil producer will sign a firm shipping contract.
But the project's not dead yet. And, ultimately, it's the federal government that has the power to approve or deny infrastructure projects like pipelines.
The courts may, or may not, stop construction, but as with the NEP, it's political pressure on lawmakers that will prove decisive. There are early signs that a shift like this may already be afoot. Enbridge has become a liability for Conservative candidates in every B.C. riding touching salt water. Seat projections by ThreeHundredEight.com have the Conservatives losing seven of their 21 B.C. incumbents, while being shut out of six new ridings created by redistribution.
Party whip John Duncan is ten points behind the NDP in his northern Vancouver Island constituency, according to a telephone poll of 300 local voters conducted by Insights West for Dogwood Initiative. When respondents were asked who they voted for in 2011, the numbers lined up with actual results. But as many as three in five former Tories in coastal ridings now say they plan to vote for other parties.
At the same time, a majority of 2011 Conservative supporters report disagreement with the federal government's approach on oil tankers. Knock on doors anywhere from Comox to Deep Cove and the pattern becomes clear.
The desire for representation on this issue in Ottawa has British Columbians looking to opposition politicians, all of whom have promised to cancel Northern Gateway if they form government. But citizens are also counting on First Nations to defend local interests.
This week a fundraising drive has people across the province organizing events to help cover court costs for seven of the First Nations challenging the project approval. Called "Pull Together," the campaign has raised more than $450,000 so far.
This alignment between First Nations and British Columbians is coalescing into a regional political movement with the potential to become as powerful as Reform twenty years ago in Alberta. Sooner or later, Enbridge will be defeated in B.C. The only question is whether the current government goes down with it.

I recall Centrist dismissing me when I predicted Vancouver Centre would go NDP, and I understand where he was coming from. After the unprecedented upheaval of 2011, a lot of serious-minded commentators naturally expected a return to the staus quo to some degree or another. My prediction was based a whole different set of assumptions. Namely that this election will be even more unprecedented than the last, and that status quo parameters of what's likely or unlikely aren't applicable.
This is also why seat projections are useless for the coming election. When the electorate shifts this dramatically, there's no way to really predict where and who the shifts will be coming from. Old models don't apply.
Centrist usually has a good handle of what is happening in BC, and it was Centrist that was warning us of the interest on Vancouver Island with the Greens.
As you say however there has been some major significant changes recently.
Vancouver Centre - 2011 Tr
Cons - 26.1%
NDP - 26.4%
Libs - 31%
Grns - 15.1%
- tip of the hat to punditsguide.ca for the stats
The Green candidate Lisa Barrett ran in West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast in 1997 and got 4.6% of the vote.
She lives on Bowen Island and believes in pollution as she is a flight attendant who contributes to global warming by spewing GHS every day she is at work,
as opposed to
NDP candidate Constance Barnes who travels around on her bicycle like Jack Layton did. Constance indeed walks or rides the talk.

NDP Surge Continues, Forum Poll Suggests
"The movement in the NDP's favour is slow, but it's gathering momentum," said Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff in a release. "They're firmly in first in Quebec and B.C. and at parity in Ontario, which are three of the four biggest provinces."
Ontario, B.C., and Quebec are seat-rich battlegrounds that will be targeted by all parties in the next federal election.
Results also project a minority NDP government — 21 seats short of a majority. It's a prediction that bumps the party up 20 seats since last week.
"Even in the expectation of victory, which tends to be a lagging measure, we see the NDP have caught up to the Conservatives," said Bozinoff.
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/06/25/ndp-forum-poll_n_7663352.html
That's a cheap shot
I understand that Abacus will be releasing a federal voting intention poll soon, perhaps today, for Newfoundland and Labrador. Its provincial poll, released last week showed the NDP up from 9% to 25% in a few months. It will be interesting to see if the federal NDP is continuing to close the gap with the Liberals as other Atlantic polls have shown.
Yeah, I'm kind of sick of attacking someone on their environmental record because they depend on fossil fuels like everyone else. This is a systemic problem that cannot be solved by individual action.
If I were a Liberal supporter I would be concerned about the latest Angus Reid poll showing the Liberals with only 23% support in the popular vote. As well the latest EKOS poll shows the Liberals with only 25% support.

If you want to find out the political mood of a place, look at its #*poli hastags in Twitter. Go on Tweetdeck and open a column and the hashtag will come up kind of like an old IRC channel. So Canada is #cdnpoli, which runs between 1-2 tweets per second. Once you go on a channel, people will stick other hashtags in so you can follow those, or make up new ones or do whatever you like. I know that #bcpoli is a place, #abpoli, #onpoli, #polqc, and all the party labels like #NDP, #BQ etc. #politics is the US generally.
If a psychopathic little troll starts calling you names, just respond with the hashtags of your favorite channels. They will pay. They will pay, because there will always be one of your friends who has nothing else to do but make them pay. Then block them. It is no embarrassment to you at all, because their insults are on the twitter forever.
On the other hand, if you like to label people because of what they said, you will pay as well. Twitter people don't like being called names.
twitter is interesting, but twitter is not hugely accurate when it comes to finding out the political mood of a place, I feel. For instance, when I checked #TOpoli during the municipal election, from the tweets there it seemed that Olivia Chow and John Tory were neck and neck, with Ari Goldkind close behind, and Doug Ford way behind. Obviously, this was not accurate. Tory was first, Ford second, Chow third, and Goldkind way back in a distant fourth. But, Ford did not have many supporters who tweeted, whereas Goldkind did.
You have to clear the psychopaths out and after a couple of days you get a better sense.
Twitter is a slightly less toxic version of what happens in the comment threads on the newspapers. There's some neutral news and commentary, but still a lot of partisan bullshit. It's where you can see the "groupthink" happening among the different parties.

Twitter is 100% an echo chamber. There's value in knowing what echo they're trying to stir up. But not much else.

The NDP appears to have made its gains at the expense of the Liberals in most parts of the country, and are now starting to eat into Conservative support.
The Liberals will not regain their high polling in Quebec or BC. People in Ontario are beginning to realize this, and I predict the Liberal campaign will start to falter further in Ontario too. Any further Trudeau campaign baubles will not turn the tide, and in fact will instead solidify the perception that they're not a serious alternative. The quote above shows that even the Cons are losing voters to the NDP, meaning that those who aren't particularly ideological but simply want a competent change are turning to the NDP.
Once Ontario truly embraces the NDP, it's majority time.

Definitely, but that will be a long, uphill struggle. Some of the more urban ridings around the vote-rich GTA (excluding the 905) are Liberal strongholds, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Wynne & Co lending some clandestine support. The north should be an orange sweep, and it is most likely that we'll start seeing some strong two-way races in SW Ontario between the Cons and NDP. If anything, I'm looking at the race in London West which has been known to be a bit of a bellwethe - and it looks like Ed the Minister of State for Policy-Based Science is losing ground, even with the cabinet post (and the riding did vote NDP provincially, which may point to some slight political alignment with London-Fanshawe?).
If you interact with a diverse group of people -- twitter can be more than an echo chamber.
Precademic wrote:
That London West voted NDP provincially is really more of a byelection-consolidation carryover (much like Kitchener-Waterloo)--though it was never as "out of reach" as a lot of people claimed (and still isn't, federally speaking).
Come to think of it, if London West ought to be on radar, so should London North Centre, despite "conventional wisdom" reserving that one for the Liberals. (That it stayed provincially Liberal last year was more of a Deb Matthews incumbency thing--and even so, she only won with 36% with the second-place NDP 5 1/2 points behind.)
Rokossovsky
I think the best kind of "clandestine" support Kathleen Wynne might provide her federal cousins is making herself invisible to Ontario voters.
Although it seems that the Liberal press corps is going to try and rev up the "Liberals are more progressive than the NDP" line (Trudeau was trying to sell this to the Star editorial board in an interview) for the next federal election given its great success in the last provincial election, I don't think anyone is going to buy that again.
Rokossovsky wrote:
Agreed. From what I've seen, Wynne has managed to annoy both blue and orange Liberals.
From the looks of this you should be feeling as confident as the Liberals did way back when.
Arthur Cramer
Pondering, nothing is in the bag. But, I'm counting on Canadians finally waking up to the Faux Progressivism of the LPC and its supporters and embracing the real embodiment of that, the NDP. We'll see, but I wouldn't be so smug either. Serioulsy, look in the G-d damn mirror!

Nov 3: Finance day at COP26
Wednesday, November 3 was "Finance Day" at COP26. Government delegates and private sector representatives discussed how to accelerate the mobilisation of capital to achieve national and international climate goals. A $100bn a year climate aid target has yet to be met and all eyes will be on if this can be achieved within the next fortnight, and if so, where this money will actually go.
NRF participants attended a number of related events where the core themes seemed to align: there is a growing abundance of capital but the difficulty now is identifying a corresponding abundance of good fundable projects or other opportunities for that capital.
In the UK, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that the UK will from 2023 mandate all financial institutions and listed public companies operating in the UK to publish their plans and strategies on how to transition to net zero by 2050. Fully delivering on these commitments will not however be mandatory, rather the new policy is intended to promote transparency, accountability and promote companies taking greater responsibility for their broader environmental impacts.
The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), an alliance of banks and asset managers committed to meeting the outcomes from the Paris climate agreement and backed by former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, has announced that over 450 firms representing ~$130 trillion, or 40% of the world's financial assets under management, have now signed up to reach and generally promote net zero by 2050.
The International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation has announced the launch of a new International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to establish a comprehensive baseline sustainability reporting and disclosure standard to assist in the delivery of "high quality, transparent, reliable and comparable reporting by companies on climate and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters". The new ISSB will in part be formed from a merger of the existing Value Reporting Foundation (VRF) and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB). It is hoped the ISSB will allow for a single global language for sustainability reporting.
Norton Rose Fulbright's EMEA Head of Sustainability, Caroline May, said of the ISSB: "We are delighted to see the announcement of the new ISSB based in Frankfurt at COP26 on Wednesday. The market is hungry for comprehensive and comparable reporting standards for sustainability and ESG. The ISSB will allow for both greater certainty and transparency for investors, building upon and developing existing guidelines and standards such as TCFD, which first brought to light these issues and paved the way for this announcement."

Arastradero Preserve
Arastradero Looper route
near Palo Alto, CA
Pearson-Arastradero Preserve is one of those city-run small open space preserves that are much more generous in their proportion of bike-legal singletrack in its trail network than many preserves that are much larger in size. All trails in this park are open to mountain bikes. That earns my respect
There are no long climbs at Arastradero. So, it could qualify as a good place to bring a beginner mountain bike rider, especially if you want to include some singletrack in the mix. That doesn't mean that you won't have to pay attention to your route choice, though. While the total amount of climbing is not significant, some short sections (mostly on fire roads) are pretty seriously steep and may present some unnecessary challenge to an out-of-shape new rider. Still, those can always be walked by beginners.
Even for experienced riders, there's quite a bit of fun to be had here. If you could string together a route that traverses all of the trails here without repeating any, you'd end up with something like a 10-mile ride. More likely, though, you'd be riding just your favorite sections of the park, while repeating or reversing some segments of your route. Since there are plenty of short interconnected trails here, it lends itself well to improvization.
Notice that there are at least two spots where you can park along Arastradero Road to enter this park. The one I'm showing as the suggested parking here is a roadside parking area with space for only five or six vehicles. The reason I usually prefer this one is that I usually do weekday morning rides at Arastradero before going to work, and the main parking lot sometimes happens to still have its gate locked at the early morning hour at which I show up. So, if you like, you can first try the main parking lot and only use my suggestion if the main lot happens to be locked.
There isn't a single characteristic route in the park that I can think of. The route represented on this page is, therefore, simply one of many possible suggestions. I can point to a few highlights that are worth checking out, though: "The Bowl" in the westernmost extreme of the park is a huge flat-bottomed excavation in the ground (an old quarry?) that provides opportunities for blasting down one end of it and trying to make it out the other steep end. A nearby "playground" may also enable you to spend a few fun minutes. There are some ramps and "jumps" there, though it's been aging lately. You can string these two together by following Bowl Loop Trail. And, finally, Acorn Trail, Woodland Star Trail, and Woodrat Trail are all nice singletrack trails that are (naturally) more fun in the descending direction, but are almost as enjoyable to climb.
One important thing to watch out for when it comes to biking at Arastradero is that the trail conditions become terrible when it rains. The soil here seems to have high clay content and, even after modest amounts of rainfall, it quickly sticks to your tires and accumulates until progress becomes almost impossible. You've been warned.

We caught up with Samantha Rutter, CEO of Open Study College ahead of the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards 2018. Shortlisted for the Customer Focus Award, we spoke to Samantha to understand how to actually put your customers first – and why it is crucial to loyal growth.
Tell us a little bit about Open Study College.
I founded the company with my father in 2007 with the vision of making education accessible to all. With 11 years of experience in the education industry, we have established ourselves as a leading distance learning provider with more than 520 courses. We have had more than 73,000 students from around the world enrol with us, studying everything from accounting to fitness, A Levels to childcare. We strive to offer an outstanding distance learning experience with high-quality courses, award-winning tutor support and first-class customer service. We put our students at the heart of everything we do.
What does being shortlisted for the Customer Focus Award mean to you?
Our team are passionate about providing the highest quality customer service. Being shortlisted for the customer focus award reiterates our commitment to customer service and recognises the hard work our customer service teams put in every day.
What do you think gave you your competitive edge in this category?
We pride ourselves on delivering first-class customer service, which is why we have had over 73,000 students study with us. Over the last 11 years our customer service teams have evolved and divided into two separate teams. Thanks to this approach, our teams have developed expert knowledge, allowing them to deliver a tailored approach. Ultimately, we aren't afraid to do things differently, and are keen to listen to student feedback and adapt to their needs. We constantly gather feedback from all angles to understand what we are already doing well and understand the areas in which we can improve.
Customer service is vital to the success of our business. We put our students at the heart of everything we do at Open Study College. Everything we do is carefully planned with our students in mind, considering how it will impact our service and ultimately our students.
What advice would you give to companies trying to be more customer-centric?
It's vital that you are able to view your business through the eyes of your customers. Take the time to review your customer contact strategy from start to finish. This will help you to identify any areas of the journey that could be improved to create a more seamless customer journey.
What is Open Study College's mission?
Our mission at Open Study College is to provide everyone with the opportunity to better themselves through making education available to all, no matter what their ability.
What growth plans do you see on the horizon?
For us, growth isn't defined solely by our financial figures, but also by the number of new students that enrol with us each year. Our growth target is to double the size of the business with a focus on expanding our course range to include the higher education courses that our students want, alongside staff training and development. Over the last 11 years our growth has been steady thanks to our solid business model, commitment to providing excellent customer service and consistently reinvesting our profits back into the business.
What does being a Lloyds Bank National Business Award finalist mean to you?
Being a Lloyds Bank National Business Award finalist is a huge achievement for my team at Open Study College, particularly as we have been shortlisted for the Customer Focus Award. With customer service being at the forefront of everything that we do, we are incredibly proud to have been recognised alongside some of the best in British business at one of the UK's most prestigious awards ceremonies.

Rozkopaczew – wieś w Polsce, położona w województwie lubelskim, w powiecie lubartowskim, w gminie Ostrów Lubelski. Leży przy drodze wojewódzkiej nr  na odcinku z Międzyrzeca Podlaskiego do Łęcznej, nieopodal Jeziora Mytycze.

W latach 1954-1972 wieś należała i była siedzibą władz gromady Rozkopaczew.  W latach 1975–1998 wieś administracyjnie należała do ówczesnego województwa lubelskiego.

Na terenie wsi ustanowiono dwa sołectwa  Rozkopaczew I i Rozkopaczew II . Według Narodowego Spisu Powszechnego (III 2011 r.) wieś liczyła 1042 mieszkańców.

Znajduje się tu rzymskokatolicki kościół parafii św. Teresy od Dzieciątka Jezus, kaplica polskokatolicka pw. św. Jakuba (podlegająca parafii w Lublinie), szkoła podstawowa im. św. Jana Pawła II. Jest również Ośrodek Zdrowia, apteka, bank spółdzielczy i placówka Poczty Polskiej.

Prywatna wieś szlachecka, położona w województwie lubelskim, w 1739 roku należała wraz z folwarkiem do klucza Kijany Lubomirskich.

Wieś szlachecka Rozkopaczów położona była w drugiej połowie XVI wieku w powiecie lubelskim województwa lubelskiego.

4 grudnia 1946 r. wieś została napadnięta przez grupę "Uskoka". Według jednego źródła w wyniku działań grupy porwano, a następnie zastrzelono mieszkańca miejscowości - Zbigniewa Szymańskiego. W pamiętniku Broński uzasadniał swoje działania przychylnością mieszkańców Rozkopaczewa okazywaną nowej władzy oraz ich uczestnictwie wraz z "Sowietami i Żydami w obławach na »faszystów«". W tym samym źródle Broński usprawiedliwiał swoje czyny oczerniając mieszkańców wsi oraz obrzucając ich różnorakimi epitetami, a ponadto według jego twierdzeń w wyniku akcji nie było zabitych i zostało spalonych kilka zabudowań.
Według innego źródła spalono 26 gospodarstw rolnych.
