For many discerning roadies, big city cycling is a pain. Mixing it with heavy traffic as red light follows red is the polar opposite of the free, fast riding to be had in the sticks. No matter what major city you're in, it can seem an age to get out, and getting back in is even harder, limiting the time on the open road.
There are sanctuaries within the city — Londoners head to Richmond or Regents Park, Manhattanites to Central Park. For the two million people who call the Western Australia capital of Perth home, there is Rottnest Island.
Closed to motorised vehicles 'Rotto', as locals know it, feels far from city life, whatever the skyscrapers on the skyline try to tell you. Just 11 miles off Perth's coast, the island is a rare tourist hotspot — one that's just as special to locals. As a tourist you might hire one of the bikes shipped over on the ferry and take in a few laps of the island or spend a few nights in the island's hotel or apartments-for-hire and relax on its beaches.
For locals it's a spitting-distance retreat from city life, one that, for some, is reached by private boat and which, in summer, initiates an exodus from the city and turns this sleepy island (population: 114) into a party that can swell numbers 100-fold.
It's a time of year when the island's bars and restaurants go into frenzied overdrive, when boats spill out of the marina, where rafts are tied together to create a giant flotilla, with the objective to create a new landmass where having a good time is the only item on the agenda.
Our visit coincided with the closing days of winter and ordinarily it should have been some of Rottnest's quietest days, but something was stirring. That something was the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, the final of a globetrotting 15-event series that clothes its winners in their very own, legit, Velominati Rules-busting rainbow jersey.
For the time trial, which opened proceedings, 399 competitors across multiple age and gender categories were invited to the island to contest a 19.4km test over its lumpy roads. In the days before the race, as boat by boat time-triallists arrived and began their preparations, we hopped aboard the Rottnest Express ferry to see what the fuss was.
It's just under half an hour on the ferry, but it can be an uncomfortable 30 minutes — it often is for our seasick photographer and Fremantle resident, Daniel, who tells us Perth is the second windiest city in the world. It's a hard stat to prove — there is no standardised method for measuring it — but it's certainly up there and is recognised as the windiest in Australia.
Responsible, in the summer at least, is the Fremantle Doctor, the cooling sea breeze that blows in southwest from the Indian Ocean and builds through the afternoon, a wind that has given many English batsmen the heebie-jeebies over the years.
Cast adrift at sea, Rottnest gets battered by the wind year round, often gusting and liable to change direction in a heartbeat, which put the frighteners on the TT riders during their recce rides, with disc-hobbling winds over 40mph.
You can ride your bike off the ferry, which is what we did, via a dropping of luggage at Hotel Rottnest in the island's main settlement of Thomson Bay. Daniel was my guide, hauling his considerable cameras on his back aboard a Specialized 'cross bike, which he'd borrowed from his business partner at a bike shop he co-owns, R&D Speed Shop in Perth.
He was a guide in terms of teaching me about the island, rather than a navigator on the road: you really can't get lost on Rottnest, not with a postage stamp-like square mileage of 7.3 and a road network that consists of little more than what you'll find running close to the island's coastline. What a coastline it is, though, so while this 'Big Ride' wasn't big in size, it was in stature.
First up we took in a clockwise loop of the island, the exact same route that the time trial riders would face (the 12.1-mile course would take us a leisurely 50 minutes, double the time of the fastest ride on the day, from German Christian Mueller in the 19–34 men's category). It was a course that needed a good recce, with few straights, numerous sharp bends and constantly rolling hills.
You never think of leaving Britain for Australia and wishing you'd brought more warm clothes, but that was the case at first. With a fresh, early morning breeze and overcast skies only intermittently treating us to the warm sunshine above it, arm warmers would have been welcome, if only they weren't languishing in a Perth hotel luggage lock-up.
It was just about shorts and jersey weather — certainly for this Northern Englishman — though many others, whether tourist or time triallist, were dressed for an Arctic expedition. Sometimes a place just feels warm, even if it might not be, and this island paradise, with its white sandy beaches, a turquoise ocean and deserted singletrack roads felt like that. Perhaps I was in denial.
Humans might swell in number during holidays but there's another mammal on Rottnest that would still outnumber us and it didn't take long for us to spot our first. The quokka is a marsupial and official mascot of Rottnest, found only on the islands of Western Australia, and most abundantly here, and would be described later in an after dinner speech by the race's ambassador, the three-time Tour de France green jersey winner Robbie McEwen, as an animal "somewhere between a kangaroo and giant rat".
Indeed, rats are what Dutch sailors mistook them for in the 1600s, naming the island 'Rotte nest', or rats' nest. It's their long, rat-like tail that probably saw them mistaken for sewer-dwelling rodents, but in reality they're a lot cuter. They're the size of a domestic cat, moving with the spring of a kangaroo and in possession of perhaps the cheesiest grin in the animal kingdom. And who can blame them: snakes apart, they don't have any predators here on Rottnest, so they have it pretty good, mixing in happily with their human guests.
After almost coming a cropper and ending up as shark food at the sharp right turn at Jeannie's Lookout, a bend that dishes out its fair share of stiff breezes and caused plenty of murmurs of discontent among the time trial competitors, we made our way westwards towards the Wadjemup lighthouse, which dominates the skyline at every turn.
From the eastside of the island, where the skyline of Perth looms large, we'd briskly made our way west, where the next landmass, Mauritius, is almost 4,000 miles away across the Indian Ocean.
Already heading back towards base, we jutted inland past the surprisingly monikered Lake Baghdad and got chatting to a fisherman out on his bike.
"So what's this bike race?" he asked, as I launched into an enthusiastic primer on the event and where he could catch it, not twigging that he cared little for cycling and simply wanted to know when we'd be on our way to leave him in peace to catch fish.
"This is a great island you've got," I offered desperately, in a somewhat forlorn attempt at keeping this already dead conversation alive.
"Err, that might be tricky…" I said, before pulling in and letting him continue on his not-quite-so-merry way.
Mr Fisherman might not have been best pleased at the Championships' presence, but a thousand or so competitors, friends and family, and organisation staff were, and the following day, with the whole aero armada arriving on shore, we headed out for another spin, this time with Robbie McEwen.
The Aussie legend, who brought a decorated 17-season career to an end in 2012, came back into the limelight this summer as a commentator on Australian race broadcaster SBS. It's a new role for him in more ways than one; for a man who spent his career finishing off races, in his commentary role he talks until the 50km mark, at which point he and his co-commentator hand over to Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, an unfamiliar position of lead-out man to Phil and Paul's veteran sprint kings.
Queensland resident McEwen had flown out to Western Australia for a race ambassador role, with no plans to ride — until the organisation announced on Twitter that he would be starting the Gran Fondo later that week. In the end he started in the 40–44 age category, then peeled off to assume PA duties.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable racing," McEwen told us, uneasy with the idea of an ex-pro battling out with amateurs. For fierce competitors like McEwen, it must be hard to suppress the instinct to race when parachuted into one. That much was clear when a couple of amateur riders passed us on the road and, recognising McEwen, one of them told him to jump on the back — if he could.
With red rag sufficiently waved, McEwen let them go but as they headed into a couple of successive bends up the road, he suddenly bolted, as he did so saying to either himself, or me and Daniel, "I'll get you on the corner and put you in the bushes," 99 percent tongue in cheek, one percent menace. You can take the man out of the competition but you can't take the competition out of the man.
It had been the first time that McEwen had been to the island since he'd raced a criterium there in the early nineties and before that he'd been here as a young kid. He stopped several times in the ride to take photos of himself in spots he remembered from more than 30 years ago, even getting a selfie with a quokka that saw him getting perhaps a little too close. For everyone, not least cyclists, Rottnest sticks in the memory.
We took the Rottnest Express, which runs from Perth and Fremantle year round. There are, however, numerous travel options. You can take your own boat (visit www.rottnestisland.com/boating for more info) or a speedboat ferry.
By air, there's the Rottnest Air Taxi from Jandakot, Mandurah and Bunbury airports, which operates during daylight hours (www.rottnest.de), or Rotorvation Helicopters from Jandakot Airport and Hillarys Boat Harbour.
The island's only hotel is Hotel Rottnest (breakfast isn't supplied), while Rottnest Lodge, which is a cheaper option, offers apartment accommodation. The most popular choices are two-, three- and four- bedroom houses from the Rottnest Island Authority, with prices dependent on whether you have a sea view or not. Campsites are also available.
There isn't a huge offering of restaurants and bars, but what there is, is mainly in Thomson Bay. Dome Café is good for breakfast — and you'll find the waiting staff staff there shooing hungry quokkas out with a broom. Aristos is a seafood restaurant overlooking the bay. Rottnest also has the obligatory fast food outlet, in this case case Subway.
If you get bored of cycling, you could have a round of golf at the Rottnest Island Country Club. There's also a water park, children's fun park, spa and cinema.

1Claims
Free energy suppression conspiracy theory
New energy suppression
Free energy suppression (or new energy suppression) is a conspiracy theory that technologically viable, pollution-free, no-cost energy sources are being suppressed by government, corporations, or advocacy groups.[1][2] Devices allegedly suppressed include perpetual motion machines, cold fusion generators, torus-based generators, reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology, anti-gravity propulsion systems, and other generally unproven, low-cost energy sources.[2][3][4][5]
Claims[edit]
The alleged suppression (or weakening) is claimed to have occurred since the mid-19th century[6] and allegedly perpetrated by various government agencies, corporate powers, special interest groups, and fraudulent inventors. The special interest groups are usually claimed to be associated with the fossil fuel or nuclear industry,[7][8] whose business model would be threatened.[9][10]
Claims of suppression include:
The claim that the scientific community has controlled and suppressed research into alternative avenues of energy generation via the institutions of peer review and academic pressure.[11]
The claim that devices exist which are capable of extracting significant and usable power from pre-existing unconventional energy reservoirs, such as the quantum vacuum zero point energy, for little or no cost, but are being suppressed.[12][13][14]
The claim that related patents have been bought up, such as those for 100 mpg carburetors.[15][16]
Some notable people who have been claimed to be suppressed, harassed or killed for their research are Stanley Meyer,[17] Eugene Mallove,[18] and Nikola Tesla.[19] Free energy proponents claim that Tesla developed a system (the Wardenclyffe Tower) that could generated unlimited energy for free. However, his system was only intended to transmit energy for free; the system's energy would still need to be generated through conventional means.[20]
Notable proponents of the conspiracy theory include Gary McKinnon, a Scottish computer hacker who unlawfully accessed computer systems to find evidence of a secret free energy device.[21]

Once the domain of sailors and bikers, tattoos have become the latest celebrity must-have.
But it's not only the 'beautiful people' succumbing to the charms of a little ink. 'Geeks' worldwide are now making their own mark in the world of tattoo chic.Forget Celtic bands and Chinese symbols, for these guys it's all Pi and binary code.
Computer boffins and science fanatics are increasingly becoming emblazoned with Apple trademarks and scientific language.
USB computer cables, the Pi equation and a symbol for the now-ancient Commodore 64 have all made appearances in the world of 'geek' tattoos.
As one tattooed computer expert told the Telegraph: "I got a tattoo last year to celebrate my company's launch of a new piece of software.
"I plan on building my software tattoo collection in the future, and then having a more recognisable 'geek' ink."
And in true geek fashion, another explained: "I am a geek and I like tattoos.
"Put them together and you get geek tattoos. I have wasted countless hours on the internet looking for the funniest geek tattoos."
And we suspect thousands of others are just about to join you.

Home Technology The Most Luxurious Yachts Ever Built
The Most Luxurious Yachts Ever Built
Most billionaires in the world drool over acquiring luxurious yachts, and they can go to any length to make sure they get the very best of them. Some of these yachts are more equipped than most five hotels, because they possess high tech gadgets and ultra modern facilities only a few can boast of. The average billionaire, according to the UBS billionaire Census Board and Wealth X, spends about $22million on yachts. The ranking of the most expensive luxury items acquisitions, released by Wealth X, showed that assets occupying the first five positions were yachts, and this shows how valuable these assets are to the rich.
The most Luxurious yachts ever built include:
1Azzam, $605million
The Azzam is the world's largest and most expensive private yachts ever built. It's owned by the president of the United Arab Emirates, Shiekh Khalifa Bin Zayed al-Nahyan, and it was delivered in 2013. This amazing yacht is 590 feet long, which makes it longer than some commercial cruise ships. Built by Lurssen Yachts, Azzam's interior was designed by Christophe Leoni , and Lurssen provided the technical engineering guidance with the support of Nauta Yacht. The Azzam's technology and design enables it to travel at high speeds in shallow and warm waters while providing sophisticated and luxurious accommodation. This yacht is powered by two diesel engines and two gas turbines with a total output of 70MW.
2Eclipse, $475million
The Eclipse yacht is one of the most expensive private yachts in the world. It's actually the world's second largest yachts, only surpassed by Azzam, and it is 164.5 meters long (536ft). This yacht, owned by a Russian Oligarch, Roman Ambramovich, was delievered in 2010. This private yacht was constructed Blohm and Voss of Hamburg. Terence Disdale designed both the interiors and exteriors of this yatch while Francis was her naval architect. Some of the amazing features on the Eclipse include: Two swimming pools, 24 guest cabins, several hot tubs, a disco hall and two helicopter pads. It also comes equipped with a mini submarine (capable of reaching depths up to 50meters) and three launch boats. This yacht requires a crew of 70 to operate, and it can accommodate a lot of guest on board.
3Serene, $330million
The Serene super yacht is one of the largest private yachts in the world. Built by Fincantieri, Serene is 134 meters long and was delivered at Muggiano ship yard, Laspezia, Italy. This yacht was built to international standards, and it has two helicopter landing pad, two hangars and 7 decks. This yacht also features a submarine, which is capable of going depths up to 100meters, and a sea water swimming pool which can accommodate service craft. Pascale Reymon, from Langton Design, designed 2700meters of interior space with super luxurious materials. All these amazing features combine perfectly to make this yacht one of the best and most expensive in the world.
4A (yacht), $300million
Designed by Martin Francis and Philippe Starck, the A is one of the most expensive luxurious yachts in the world. It was commissioned in 2004 and delivered in 2008. The A has a length of 199meters (390 feet), and its sheer size displaces almost 6000 tons of water. The A yacht was previously own by Aleksandra Mlenichenko and Andrey, and its design was simply exceptional. It has an ultra modern and sophisticated design, which made it look like a stealth ship and submarine combined. The A yacht was loved and hated by many because of its provocative design. This yacht requires 37 crews to operate and it can also accommodate up to 14 guests in its specially designed suite. This yacht features three swimming pools, six suites, and a helipad. The interiors were lavishly designed. Crocodile skin was used to design the furniture, and the Sting ray hide was used for the wall.
5Dubai (yacht), $300million
This is one of the worlds most expensive and sophisticated super yachts, and it's currently owned by the vice president of United Arab Emirate, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This yacht is the third largest in the world, After Azzam and Eclipse, and it is 162 meters long (524 feet). The Dubai was designed by Andrew Winch while its interior was designed by Platinum yacht, and this vessel can host 115 guess including its crew. Its features include: a submarine, a helicopter pad and a quash room.
In conclusion, these are the most luxurious yachts ever built. Their interiors designs feature materials that are of the highest quality and standard. The facilities installed in these yachts are second to none, and for this reason, only the rich and famous can afford to acquire these vessels.

Santiago Calatrava is not only one of the world's most prominent architects, but is also an engineer, sculptor, and painter. With recent projects such as the stadium for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the new railway station in Liege, Belgium, he has unarguably made his name in Europe and continues to look further ahead. The only architect ever to have his work exhibited at both the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he is currently designing the main transport hub for the Ground Zero site in Manhattan as well as the tallest building in the United States: the 115-story Fordham Spire to be built in Chicago. Winner of the 2005 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, Calatrava is one of the greatest and most innovative architects alive. He collaborated extensively with Philip Jodidio to create this monograph that traces his illustrious career so far and places his architecture in the context of his art, where nature meets engineering. All of Calatrava's work, from his astonishing suspended swimming pool at Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology to his latest designs, is featured in this lavishly illustrated volume.


ALPG star Stacey Keating braved cold and windy conditions to collect her 5th ALPG title today in Auckland, winning the Anita Boon ALPG pro-am at the North Shore GC. Keating started the day two shots behind overnight leader and local favourite Cathryn Bristow, but soon closed the gap with 4 birdies in her first eleven holes. Keating hung on in the tough conditions making pars at each of her closing seven holes, signing for a flawless round of 68 which was good enough for a 3 shot victory over Bristow.
For Keating the 2012 French and Spanish Open Champion, the 2015 season has been a frustrating one for the usually consistent performer, "this year my form has been patchy at best,the good has been very good but the bad has been awful! I made some serious changes to my game early this year, and they have taken some time to bed in which I expected. The positive thing has been that the good stuff has been good enough to keep me believing that I was on the right path. I am not the most patient person in the world and this has been a big test for me this year.To end the season win a win is a great feeling and it is really satisfying after all the hard work we have put in"
Keating also was quick to thank the sponsors KFC New Zealand and Coca-Cola Amatil for their ongoing commitment to the tournament, and also paid thanks to her caddy for the second round, Next Generation Club attendee "Ella". Keating and a number of fellow professionals attended a Next Generation Club mentoring session with eleven potential stars of the future prior to their second round, after which they offered the girls the opportunity to caddy for them in round 2.
Bristow, while disappointed not to win will take a lot away from her 2nd place finish.. She has also endured a frustrating season, forced to sit out much of the 2015 ALPG tour with a chronic neck injury, The injury required rest and some serious rehabilitation, and after a period away from the game a welcome return to form in the second half of the season has ensured that she has secured her playing rights on the Ladies European Tour for 2016. A fit Bristow has the talent to contend anywhere she plays and there is no doubt that she will be already planning for her next event which will be the Dubai Ladies Masters in December.
LPGA star Sarah Kemp shot a disappointing 4 over par 76 to finish at +4 and in a share of 3rd place alongside defending champion Cherie Alison and Sydney's Adriana Brent.
Friday the 13th proved to be lucky for one player, Victorian professional Sienna Lambert holed out her opening shot of the day on the par 3 16th hole for a hole-in-one!

Il cebo dal ciuffo (Sapajus robustus ()) è una specie del genere Sapajus.

Distribuzione e habitat
La specie è endemica delle aree di foresta atlantica del Brasile sud-orientale.

Descrizione
Il pelo è bruno-grigiastro sulle spalle e sulle braccia, bruno-rossiccio sul quarto posteriore e sulle cosce, bruno scuro con riflessi color ruggine su testa, avambracci e coda, la cui attaccatura è bruna. Sulla testa è presente un caratteristico ciuffo "alla Elvis" che si proietta diagonalmente verso l'alto in avanti sulla fronte.

Tassonomia
Un tempo ritenuta una sottospecie di Cebus apella (C. apella robustus), attualmente è ancora in corso una diatriba fra gli zoologi, in quanto una scuola di pensiero dissociativa ne considera opportuna la promozione a specie a sé stante (Sapajus robustus), mentre la scuola associativa ritiene più giusto il mantenimento dello status quo, ossia di lasciare la popolazione come sottospecie di S. nigritus.

THE home base of the Fraser Coast Naval Cadets has been given a new lease of life after a motion was carried in Wednesday's council meeting.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council will negotiate a new lease with the naval cadets over their home base, the TS Krait, on the site of a former sawmill in Round Island Rd, Urangan.
Councillors voted unanimously for the motion.
"The lease has been in a holding pattern since it expired in 2016 as the council considered the future of buildings on the property," mayor George Seymour said.
"An engineering report confirmed the building structures were unsafe and should be demolished.
"The cadets will continue to operate from temporary accommodation organised by the Department of Defence.
"The new lease will enable the cadets to seek funding opportunities to build a new facility on the property."
The council will also negotiate a new 10-year lease with the Boonooroo and District Sport and Recreation Association.
The association provides Boonooroo with a central sport and recreational facility that encourages fitness, social interaction and community development.
"Council congratulates the association for the hard work they have put in through fund raising to maintain their facilities and provide a hub for the community," councillor Anne Maddern said.
"(These groups) ensure the Fraser Coast is a vibrant community."

Gus Ascroft is starting a special needs hockey team for his daughter
Giving all kids a chance to play hockey
Newcomer to Victoria starting special needs hockey in Colwood
Charla Huber
Dec. 23, 2011 11:00 a.m.
When Georgia Ascroft hears her father mention the word "hockey" her face lights up.
"I like skating the best," she says with an ear-to-ear grin.
It took six years for Gus Ascroft to get his daughter Georgia interested in skating, an 11-year-old with Down Syndrome and autism. It took hockey to get her on the ice. "She just wasn't interested until there was a puck there."
At their home last year in Kamloops, getting Georgia on a team wasn't easy – mainstream hockey was too busy, but her father found a hockey team specifically for developmentally challenged children, the Okanagan Wildcats.
After moving to Saanich this year, Gus searched for a similar program, but it didn't exist, so decided to create one himself. "If you want to do something these days you have to do it yourself," Gus said.
The elder Ascroft quickly found ice time in Greater Victoria was tough to secure, especially during the day. He admits it was frustrating. "The only time I could get was 4 a.m. on a Thursday," Gus remarked.
Fortunately he met up with with Kevin De Jong, president of Puckmasters in Colwood, who had been looking into offering hockey programs for special needs people. The facility has a half-size hockey rink.
"We want to help out another group that can love the game," De Jong said. "We train anyone from band new players to pros. We want these kids to be a part of something."
Gus wants to create an inclusive, special needs hockey team based at Puckmasters, for any developmentally challenged kid from across Greater Victoria.
"With hockey Georgia is part of a group and she's accepted. It's a community theme with physical activity … We are hoping she can make some friendships," Gus said. "Some of the biggest hockey fans are special needs."
Gus also noted many special needs kids spend hours at the rink watching their siblings hockey games and never get the chance to get on the ice. "Even if they are helped when they are hitting the puck, they are still playing."
The team is looking for players younger than 16 years old. Seven players are already signed up, some as young as five. The team is looking for a roster of about 16 players.
Parental participation is required and the players do not need any experience with skating or hockey. "I am expecting 90 per cent of the kids can't skate," Gus said. "Just come out and try."
For each practice players will suit up in full hockey gear. If families are unable to purchase gear, Gus and De Jong said they will help find subsidy or donated gear.
"We want this to be a real hockey practice, not just play time," Gus said.
Similar teams already play in Nanaimo, Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops.
"If we can get a presentable team then we will do some fundraising and play some tournaments," Gus said.
Gus, 52, has been playing hockey since he was seven years old. He played in minor hockey up to junior-B and still dabbles in the game recreationally. As a career he is a Zamboni driver and "ice man," as he calls it.
The team's first practice is Saturday, Jan. 7 at 10 a.m. at Puckmasters. The cost is $125 and runs until the end of March.
For more information on the team call Puckmasters at 250-590-2774. Puckmasters is in the process of creating programs for physically challenged players as well.

This is the new Infiniti QS Inspiration Concept, which will debut at the forthcoming 2019 New York International Auto Show.
No we haven't made a mistake, this is actually an all-new concept. We feel compelled to point that out, as the QS Inspiration looks nearly identical to the Infiniti QX Inspiration Concept, which debuted in Detroit earlier this year. The difference, you see, is the QS is a high-riding sedan, whereas the QX was a crossover. Groundbreaking stuff, we know.
It seems as though the Infiniti QX and QS concepts are the luxury versions of the Nissan IMx and IMs concepts – the former being a crossover and the latter being a lifted sedan. Nissan is really going all-in on this lifted sedan idea and it's hard to see why. After all, a hatchback is far more practical than a trunk.
Stay tuned for more details and coverage on the Infiniti QS concept following its official debut in NYC later this month.
Discuss this story on our Infiniti Crossover Forum.


May 30: An analysis released by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) indicates that many of the country's leading companies have taken contradictory actions when it comes to climate change science while pumping a tremendous amount of resources into influencing the discussion. UCS examined 28 companies in the S&P 500 that participated in climate policy debates over the past several years. All of them publicly expressed concern about climate change or a commitment to reducing emissions through websites and public statements, but half (14) also misrepresented climate science in their public communications. UCS says, "Many more contributed to the spread of misinformation about climate science in less direct ways, such as through political contributions, trade group memberships, and think tank funding."
Francesca Grifo, director of UCS's Scientific Integrity Program and a contributor to the report said, "Corporations' increased ability to influence policy should come with an increased responsibility to let the public know how they are doing so. Companies may play a role in policy discussions, but right now, it's simply far too easy for them to get away with misrepresenting science to achieve their goals."
According to a release, utilizing an array of publicly available data, the report systematically examines how corporate influence fosters confusion on climate change. The analysis found that some American companies, including NRG Energy, Inc., NIKE, Inc. and AES Corporation, accept the findings of climate science and have taken actions in support of science-based policy. Other corporations, including Peabody Energy Corporation, Valero Energy Corporation, and FMC Corporation, have worked aggressively to undermine climate policies and have misrepresented climate science to do so.
Several companies stand out for taking contradictory actions on climate change. Caterpillar Inc., for instance, highlights its commitment to sustainability and climate change mitigation on its website. But the company also serves on the boards of two trade groups that regularly attempt to undermine public understanding of climate science: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers. Caterpillar also funds the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation, two think tanks that have misrepresented climate science.
Similarly, ConocoPhillips says on its website that it recognizes human activity is "contributing to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that can lead to adverse changes in global climate." But in comments to the Environmental Protection Agency, the company criticized scientific evidence on the ways climate change can harm public health.
Gretchen Goldman, an analyst in the Scientific Integrity Program and a report contributor said, "The difference between what many of these companies say and what they actually do is quite stark. And because we know only limited amounts about their activities, it's relatively simple for companies to show one face to the public and another to policymakers."
The report found that companies also utilized their considerable financial resources to oppose climate policy. Lobbying expenditures for energy sector companies increased by 92 percent from 2007 to 2009, when climate change bills were actively debated in Congress. Meanwhile, Valero Energy Corporation donated more than $4 million to the Yes on Prop 23 campaign, which sought to undermine California's climate change law, but was ultimately rejected by voters.
UCS's Grifo said, "The actions of many of these companies come right from the tobacco industry playbook, where the end goal is delaying sensible regulations that protect our health and safety. Companies generally find that complying with new rules is not as burdensome as they first imagined. But that doesn't prevent them from obfuscating the science to create confusion and delay." UCS indicates that the report, while as comprehensive as possible, is limited because companies are not required to reveal sufficient information about their activities -- such as the purpose of lobbying expenditures and contributions to political action committees, industry advocacy groups and think tanks.
Goldman said, "This lack of disclosure of how corporations spend their money means they can get away with taking different positions on climate change with different audiences. Greater transparency would allow citizens, investors, and policymakers to make better-informed decisions and hold corporations accountable." UCS says there are several relatively simple steps that would allow the public and policymakers to better hold companies accountable, including expanded reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission and passage of the DISCLOSE Act, which would require corporations to share more information about their political spending.
Representative Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who joined UCS in its launch of the report said, "This report quantifies and reinforces the urgent need to shine a light on the special interest money that is designed to distort science and influence our public policies. As this report documents, the amount of money dedicated to influence our debates is dramatically increasing and, unfortunately, is frequently channeled through third parties." Van Hollen said that the problem has increased due to the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. FEC decision allowing secret money from outside groups to flow into elections. He said legislation like the DISCLOSE Act will inject much needed transparency into elections and should be brought for a vote in Congress without delay. He said, "Voters have a right to know who is bankrolling the campaign ads that are designed to influence their votes. An informed electorate is essential to our democracy."


« Weekly Letter: Do the ends justify the means?
A security briefing as held in the 71st Police precinct in Crown Heights, with discussion on the recent string of attacks on Jewish residence. In attendance were representatives from the local volunteer organizations.
A security briefing was held in the 71st precinct Thursday night, following a recent uptick in assaults against Jewish residence.
The police departments community affairs division led the meeting, and spoke about the importance of community involvement in crime fighting.
Each of the recent attacks were brought up in detail, along with what the 71st precinct is doing to prevent more incidence from occurring.
Volunteers from Crown Heights Shomrim, and the 71st precinct based Civilian Observation Patrol attended the meeting, and were thanked for their volunteer work.
Special focus was placed on the need for continued community involvement, and legal follow up to prosecute those arrested for crimes.
The 71st precinct has promised additional patrols, and extra police presence for the next few weeks.
What ever happened to a cop walking the beat? This discouraged thugs from committing crime.
Temporary increased NYPD police presence means temporary safety. Police presence must be proportional to the need and the effect hate crimes have on the entire community.
The details of the patrol should be explained. How often ? By car ? The Shomrim stand on the street corners.
Why aren't police on foot patrol? Bring in NYS troopers if NYPD does not have man power.
There is a directed patrol by vehicles dedicated solely to patrolling the streets and they are strategically placed at certain intersections for a certain amount of time and then they move on to next directed patrol.
Make use of the NYPD drone program by having a drone sweep the streets of CH. The thugs will realize very soon they are not anonymous and cannot outrun a drone.
Also push for legislation for drone use by peaceoficers or community related watch programs.
Will the 71st police precinct get one of the new 14 NYPD drones to deter random hate crimes?
Can the public donate money for more drones for the 71st precinct ?
Just as the amount of snow determines the need for the quantity of snow plows plowing a given area, in CH, the amount of hate crimes, should determine the quantity of police patrolling an area.
How often are the streets being patrolled ?
Does a patrol mean a quick drive by or is a cop stationed at a given intersection? How often does this patrol loop occur ? Once a day ? Every hour ?
Police patrols can have a deterring effect on crime.
Is it better to station police officers on foot in certain locations like the NYPD does on Guy Brewer Blvd in Jamaica Queens by the schools?

The iOS 15 update is now installed on 60% of iPhones
ghabbas255December 9, 2021
Independent research firm Mixpanel recently reported that up to 58% of all iPhones are equipped with Apple's new operating system, iOS 15; IOS 14, on the other hand, provides 36% of the software power of the iPhone. In fact, the statistics show that the acceptance of the new operating system is a bit slower than the previous version.
Apple usually publishes statistics on the percentage of installations of its new operating systems; But so far we have not seen the official launch of iOS 15 acceptance percentage. The latest publicly reported Apple data show that as of June 3 this year, about 85% of all iPhones will run iOS 14. It should be noted that all devices that are compatible with iOS 14 are also eligible to receive a newer version.
Of course, iOS 14 users can still receive important security updates without updating to the latest version of iOS, and this, along with minor changes, may be one of the reasons why users are less likely to receive iOS 15 updates. On the other hand, the release of iOS 15 has not been so flawless, and users have reported several bugs, most of which have now been fixed. However, these seem to have had little effect on the transition to the new version.
Apple has a major mid-generation update in mind for the coming weeks. Reviews of the iOS 15.2 beta show that Apple has added a new section called "Parts and Service History" to the Settings app that lets users view their iPhone's service history and find out which components are being repaired; So the next update could probably improve this situation a bit.

Another overdue post, as this one relates to last weekend again, but events of this week have taken over somewhat.
After our spontaneous overnighter on Saturday we both felt a bit weird after coming home Sunday. Partially because I hadn't got beyond planning for Saturday's bake sale in my mental to-do list, and partially because Milly's absence felt pretty loud. Other than a sharp-elbowed trip round Tesco, the usual Sunday chores held little appeal. As the clocks had changed and it was a fine day, we decided to take a little trip out in the van.
Anyhow. It's not always musical cars. The van is a keeper (apparently!).
Years ago, before I met him, Matt had a VW Type 25 air cooled camper named Kangchenjunga that saw his young family through a number of memorable holidays. Since then he has always wanted a replacement. Like for most people, life generally gets in the way of "nice to haves", but finally he has bought his van – a 2004 VW T5 Transporter LWB Window Van (for those who know what that means) – and is planning to fulfil his dream.
Way back in 2009 I somehow came by a VW T25. It was basically a rolling shell and, under Matt's watchful eye, I was planning to swap the engine and gearbox, fully fit it out, and get it on the road. Sadly in 2010 we lost all of the bits of disassembled camper in a fire at the family workshop, and it was decided that trying to replace all those bits was too big a task. My camper rolled off to the scrappy on a flatbed trailer. With hindsight, although I had buckets of motivation and Matt had buckets of expertise, I had probably bitten off more than I could chew. But at the time, I was adamant that it was going to happen, and this I told the RSPCA home checker when she visited on a Sunday in late October 2009.
I specifically remember the day, because the clocks had changed, and the home checker arrived an hour early by mistake. This threw me off, as I was frantically trying to tidy up a bit ready to receive her. I also remember feeling incredible nervous because this lady – this total stranger – was standing between us and Milly.
The visit went fine and she gave us the green light. Amongst the other standard checklist items, our 6 foot fences were already installed and the garden fully secure. We did have a hole in the garden (not from treasure hunting, but from Matt trying to locate a join in the underground waste pipe) and we were advised that we needed to fill it in because Milly could fall into it…. We didn't get round to doing that before she arrived – our bad – but turns out that Milly found it useful for safely stashing bones so it didn't seem to matter that we hadn't.
Although clearly not a risk to doggies, Matt fell backwards into it once, thankfully not hurt, sadly no photographic evidence.
I recall very clearly that the home checker wrote in her report that "dog will be very happy with this family, and enjoy holidaying in their camper van". So she had faith in my camper plan being a success, even if I didn't!
Back to last weekend. Sunday. At about 3pm we set off in the van, bound for Climping Beach near Littlehampton, with a flask of hot coffee, our special new mugs, and a packet of white chocolate mice left over from Christmas.
Having taken the scenic route through Henfield and along the coast from Shoreham, we arrived at Climping but were disappointed to find the car park had slightly changed and you could no longer park up and stare out to sea. Never one to give up, I still found a creative way of enjoying the view.
Perfect Sunday afternoon activity right? Perfectly enjoyable and perfectly normal… or not. It is something that we have always wanted to do (although by regular car not van!) and would have enjoyed, but it just wouldn't have worked for Milly, and we couldn't possibly justify bimbling off and leaving her at home. Sunday afternoon "coffee with a view" has therefore always been hosted in the kitchen at home, with coffee, but no view. But with a relaxed and contented Milly, which was always the most important thing.
Depending on how well you know us, or how much of this blog you have read so far, you might be slightly bemused as to why we wouldn't take our dog on a day trip? And to the beach!?! Why what fun that should be! Dogs loves the beach!!
Milly's dog issues were so severe that taking her places was pretty difficult. Not only did she bark in the car but she couldn't relax in a new environment, and as a result, neither could we. We couldn't easily go anywhere where we might "see" another dog. Too stressful for her, too stressful for us. It just wasn't worth it. Over the years we did try a few different places, but the risk of an uncontrolled interaction with an offlead dog was too great and just made it more of an episode than an adventure. Nobody needs episodes, so we stopped seeking them out.
On Sunday we saw just one dog – beautifully behaved on the lead a very long way away – possibly further now than Milly's eyesight would have seen. So maybe we could have taken her. In fact, maybe we could have taken her a year ago, or two years ago, because she had improved so much. Maybe it wouldn't have been an episode. Maybe we could have had some great adventures afterall. Maybe it's far too late for maybes….
All in, Sunday was a day of conflicting emotions.
We had a really nice time. Felt so good just being together with nowhere else we needed to be. But tinged with sadness because Milly was missing…. only we knew that had Milly not been missing we wouldn't have considered going. Like we rarely considered going anywhere just for meaningless pleasure. Ever.


Smart recycling containers that reward people for proper use could help drive up the rate of plastic recycling, reducing the amount of plastic that goes into oceans and landfill, and creating business opportunities out of the challenge to cut back on waste.
It's part of a wave of innovations aiming to keep plastic circulating in the economy, which also include a way to turn empty bottles back into raw materials and a new supply chain model enabling the recycling of plastics from electronic waste.
Cesar Aliaga from the ITENE Research Centre in Valencia, Spain, says that it's a challenge that can only be tackled if everyone in the recycling industry works together — and the first step is to encourage people to recycle properly.
He coordinates a project called PlastiCircle, which is developing a smart container for apartment buildings or neighbourhoods with the aim of increasing the proportion of waste that is recycled and reducing the amount sent to landfill.
Equipped with arrays of sensors, the containers will be able to sense the quality and quantity of the waste deposited, as well as who is doing the depositing.
As an incentive, those people or neighbourhoods separating waste correctly could receive benefits like reduced city rubbish taxes or decide to spend such savings on community projects.
But a smart container is just the start — once sensors in the container detect it's full enough, they alert the waste truck, which is optimised for efficiency with both compacting systems and pickup routes based on container and city data fed into a cloud platform.
Aliaga says the project's partners are developing an innovative sorting system to more efficiently separate the different plastics collected, combining a range of scanning and imaging technologies with the near-infrared sensing traditionally used to sort plastics.
'About 30% of plastic is recycled, but with (most) packaging waste this material is currently only used for low-end applications,' said Aliaga.
'There is plenty of room to boost reuse of plastics and our idea is to use this in new, high-value applications ... such as automotive parts with Centro Ricerche FIAT, roofing membranes, garbage bags and high-quality urban furniture,' he said.
PlastiCircle will, in the next few years, launch project pilots in neighbourhoods of Valencia, Alba lulia in Romania, and Utrecht in the Netherlands.
If successful, initiatives like this could be vital for hitting the EU's strategic goals for plastics in a circular economy, which aim for all plastics packaging to be recyclable by 2030, in addition to a proposed crackdown banning single-use plastics, like straws and cotton buds.
The 2030 targets essentially require that plastic is kept in circulation, with waste products being turned into new resources circulating in biological and technical loops.
Sadly, the current reality is far from circular. Less than 30% of the more than 25.8 million tonnes of plastic Europe produces every year is recycled.
Even ignoring the huge CO2 emissions and environmental impacts this has, let alone the need for oil as an input for the majority of these plastics, Europe is sitting on a potential goldmine — the plastic material lost every year represents €10.56 billion in wasted resources.
Garbo is an Italian company that's trying to prove there's good money in making plastic circular. They are tweaking a chemical process known as glycolysis to recycle polyethylene terephthalate (PET), very often the base element of plastic bottles.
The current problem, says Garbo's general director Fabio Fizzotti, is that only a small percentage of recycled PET pellets can be used in new bottles, while the low demand for coloured PET bottles and other PET waste sees this go to landfill or incinerators.
Under a project called ChemPET, which finished last year, Garbo found it could efficiently use glycolysis to dissolve and break down PET-containing plastics into a form that can be used to create new PET bottles without the need for any virgin plastic.
With a successful trial run out of the way, Fizzotti says the right funding could see Garbo opening its first plant capable of treating 50 tonnes per day within six months, thanks to its experience and facilities for glycolysis recycling of silicon powders for the solar industry.
He says this could expand to 100 tonnes per day with further partners and easily be scaled to factories across Europe, with no lack of raw materials available in the EU.
However, one of the biggest sources of unrecycled plastic is waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Europeans throw away, on average, 16.6 kg of plastic WEEE every year, with the bloc annual total expected to reach 12 million tonnes by 2020.
According to Violeta Nikolova of the United Nations University in Bonn, Germany, one of the barriers to recycling WEEE is that there are outdated misconceptions about the value, quality and attractiveness of recycled plastics.
'For costs and benefits, for example, investing in recycled plastics would soon be essentially the same as investing in virgin plastics, with the difference of being able to tap into a fast-growing e-waste stream that contains billions of euros worth of plastic materials,' says Nikolova.
She works on the PolyCE project, which is aiming to create a circular economy supply chain for WEEE plastics. Over the next three years, the project, which is led by the Fraunhofer Institute IZM in Berlin, Germany, will develop a grading system for recycling plastics based on their material properties and potential applications, and draw up guidelines for designing new electronics with recycled plastics.
Their work includes technical innovations such as the development of a purer recycled plastic that removes toxic flame-retardants — thus creating a product appealing to the whole supply chain, from designers to consumers.
The project is also developing attractive, colourful demo products to prove that recycled plastics are no longer the grey, inferior products of yesteryear. The specific ideas are still under wraps but partners include Dutch electronics firm Philips, American appliance manufacturer Whirlpool and Finnish start-up Circular Devices.
Nikolova says the role of this in winning over consumers and product designers is important as then companies will begin to sit up and take notice.
The PlastiCircle consortium took a step closer to its circular economy innovations last week, with a technical visit to the Romanian town of Alba Iulia – home to the third and final pilot for Plasticircle innovations in plastic collection, transport, sorting and recycling.
On 12-13 September 2018, the PlastiCircle team visited Alba Iulia, with a series of briefings and study visits to assess conditions on the ground for the local pilot project beginning in the spring of 2020.
Following briefings by the departmental environmental protection agency and the municipality of Alba Iulia, the team embarked on a series of visits around the area: to the local Goldis neighbourhood, and to Alba Iulia district's integrated waste management plant outside the town.
The Goldis neighbourhood, through which the Strada Vasile Goldis runs towards the central citadel area of the town, will be the location of piloting for waste collection and transport methods designed by PlastiCircle experts in collaboration with local authorities.
Innovations such as smart container technology for plastic waste and optimised transport routes for collection trucks will be rolled out – probably in from March 2020 for a period of five to six months.
The consortium also visited the newly built integrated waste management plant near Alba Iulia. This recently completed infrastructure is ready to host plastic waste sorting activities as soon as local authorities select a company to take over operations. At present, a number of candidate companies are in the running for the contract to begin operations in 2019.
Aside from introducing innovations in plastic waste collection and transport, the PlastiCircle approach also involves improving plastic sorting using innovative optical technologies and even developi9ng new added-value, recycled plastic products.
With pilot projects in Valencia in Spain, Utrecht in the Netherlands and Alba Iulia, Romania (and with 'follower city' Velenje in Slovenia), the PlastiCircle project has a truly European dynamic.
The technical visit to Alba Iulia follows similar visits to Valencia and Utrecht, ahead of the pilot initiatives that will take place there in spring 2019 and autumn 2019 respectively.
Next week's visit by the PlastiCircle consortium to the Romanian town of Alba Iulia is the last visit by the project team in a series of technical excursions.
On 12-13 September 2018, the PlastiCircle team will be in the Romanian town of Alba Iulia to consolidate preparations for the project's crucial pilot phase.
As with previous technical visits – to Utrecht in the Netherlands and Valencia in Spain – the consortium will hold intensive discussions to lay the ground work for the project pilots later in the project calendar.
In Alba Iulia, the partners will visit the Polaris plastic sorting plant for a closer look at the specificities of working in Romania come crunch time in 2019.
The consortium will also, as with Utrecht and Valencia, visit the district in which pilot waste collection – and the waste transport arrangements – will take place.
Project co-ordinator César Aliaga said: "With the final technical visit to Alba Iulia, we'll have an even clearer picture of what is needed for the remainder of the PlastiCircle calendar".
Further updates on the technical visit to Alba Iulia will appear on the PlastiCircle website at www.plasticircle.eu and on Twitter via @circ_economy.

I didn't respond to it at the time but I remember being somewhat startled by a comment on this site about Paganini being a second rate (?) composer/orchestrator, his name being coupled with Chopin in this regard. The work of the latter cited was the f# minor piano concerto. Actually I was playing that work in orchestra at the time and thought that in spite of the criticism of banality it actually had quite a few creative and interesting aspects and was thrilling to play.
As for performer, I suspect quite a few people on this board may not have heard Ferraresi. I was lucky enough to have the complete recordings presented to me by a good friend. This Italian player is simply extraordinary. To give you an idea of his stature, he was invited to follow Zimbalist as director of the Cleveland Institute. He turned the job down because he wanted to stay in Italy. A pupil of Ysaye (purportedly his favorite) he has the most astonishing fast twitch violin chops I am aware of. He can do what one might call virtuoso stuff with considerably more speed and precision than many of the greats (at times....). At his best he is way ahead of the monster pack. In some ways he is like Prihoda on speed, but good heavens he has a sound. To go with it. It all sings. At his best there is –no-one- better and I include Kogan, Heifetz et al in that statement. The problem is that he is not always at his best;) Not only are all his recordings either live or one shots, but he is wildly inconsistent so he can sound truly horrible at times…. However, his Paganini 4 is so death defying I rate it above any other recording of this work. The cadenza is also one of the spookiest demos of violin technique I have ever heard, even after Vengerov, Kogan and Fodor. As a demonstration of his inconsistency the recording is followed by a rendering of Bazzini`s violin concerto no. 4 that is truly crude and dull. Speaking of the relative value of virtuoso works, that goes for the composition too! Maybe there is a connection…..
I'm anxious to hear this Ferrari... : ) Seem as if he has a lucky name for speed... "Ferraresi"


Cosmetic dentist Edward Narcisi and his team provide dentistry of the highest quality, placing the safety, comfort, and satisfaction of the patients at the center of every procedure they perform. Most of the patients who turn to Dr. Narcisi for the treatment of missing teeth opt to undergo dental implant surgery, which is the most advanced and effective method of tooth replacement. Patients know that they can trust Dr. Narcisi to produce results of only the highest quality and greatest durability, and his dental implant restorations are no exception.
In general, dental implant surgery is one of the safest surgical procedures in medicine, with one of the highest success rates. Because Dr. Narcisi works with only the most talented and reputable oral surgeons in providing his patients with dental implants, he is able to provide consistently, dependably outstanding results for his patients. And because he has a finely honed eye for aesthetics, his patients' implant-supported restorations are virtually indistinguishable from their natural teeth.
If you are interested in learning more about implant dentistry, or you would like to schedule a consultation to find out whether you are a good candidate for dental implants, please contact the Center for Dental Excellence today.
At Dr. Narcisi's cosmetic dentistry practice in Pittsburgh, dental implant success rates are particularly high for several reasons. First and foremost, Dr. Narcisi carefully evaluates the mouth of each patient to make sure that he or she is a suitable candidate for dental implants. In order to be a suitable candidate, a patient must have sufficient jaw bone density to support the titanium implant posts. This is essential because the dental implants actually fuse to the jaw bone, essentially becoming a part of the patient's natural anatomy. Patients who do not have sufficient jaw bone density may still be able to receive dental implants if they first undergo a bone grafting procedure.
Suitable candidates must also be in generally good health and, aside from the missing tooth or teeth, good oral health. Patients with advanced periodontal disease will have to have that issue dealt with before they can undergo implant dentistry.
Dr. Narcisi's success rates are also bolstered by the fact that he works with only the finest oral surgeons in the area. Careful planning is essential to a successful outcome; strategic placement of an implant is necessary to ensure that it will be properly supported by the jaw and will anchor the replacement tooth so that the bite is strong and properly aligned. The oral surgeons we work with use the most advanced technology available in order to locate the ideal site for placement with outstanding precision.
As long as patients follow post-operative instructions exactly, complications are rare, and implant rejection is extremely unlikely.
To learn more about dental implants and whether you might benefit from implant dentistry, please call or visit Dr. Narcisi's cosmetic dentistry practice today. He'd be pleased to help you take that first step toward regaining the freedom and control of having your own healthy teeth!
