Despite its relative anonymity in North America, Italian menswear label Esemplare has been crafting its clothing at Manifattura Riese since 1961 – collections founded on values such as creativity, quality and research. The label's intention was always to create garments that adapt to one's personality — not vice versa — and for Fall/Winter 2012, presents another strong offering of outerwear, tailoring and knits. A merging of past and future, technology and handcraftsmanship, and aesthetics and function, the garments include everything from down parkas and heavy knit cardigans to soft-shouldered blazers and duffel coats. Above all, each garment complements the wearer and should be the kind of artisanal heirloom pieces handed down with a wealth of stories and personality. Esemplare's fittingly exemplary collection for Fall/Winter 2012 is available now online and from a growing number of Italian and international stockists.
Sendai-based brand and retailer Delicious recently put together a lookbook for 2012 fall/winter.

What an awesome and wonderful treat we have in this record. Turns out Richard Barone and The Bongos recorded an album back in 1985 and it's only now seeing the light of day. Phantom Train is out on October 1 on the newly-resurrected Jem Recordings.
Phantom Train, recorded in 1985 and intended for release the following year, is a poignant reminder of a time when clever guitar-pop ruled American college radio airwaves. Before it was called "alternative", it was "college rock", at least in the U.S.
And that label meant a certain kind of sound even if there was range in that sound. The Bongos were smart, poppy, and decidedly too good for the era of The Power Station and Duran Duran.
"My Wildest Dreams" is spiky and soaring, a genuine lost classic single. Just fantastic.
"I Belong to Me" would end up, in another version, on Richard Barone's wonderful Cool Blue Halo (1987) (also set to be reissued by Jem Recordings).
Then there's a rocking cover of Donovan's "Sunshine Superman". Back in the mid-1980s, I always wondered why some band like R.E.M. or Game Theory didn't cover this classic and little did I know that The Bongos had but...it was sitting in a vault only to be released decades later.
"Diamond Guitar", which you can play below, has echoes of both T.Rex and R.E.M. It's a beautiful track that balances Barone's aching vocals and the chiming and crashing riffs around it.
Add in "Tangled in Your Web", another early version of a Cool Blue Halo fave, and Barone fans have got another reason to get this reissue.
But it's all not Barone's show; band-mates Frank Giannini, Rob Norris, James Mastro, and Steve Scales deserve a lot of the credit for the crisp power-pop on the 13 tracks on Phantom Train.
The release of this record is fantastic news for anyone who remembers the glory days of U.S. "college rock" as fondly as I do, or anyone who just wants to hear a smart pop record.

How Daily Farm Work and Outdoor Projects Make Learning in High School Better for Teens

At the Telstar Freshman Academy in Maine, service learning is included as part of the curriculum. Bailey Fraser, 15 (left), and her stepsister Leah Kimball, 15, volunteer with Edible Bethel during their service learning block. (Emily Kaplan for The Hechinger Report )
BRYANT POND, Maine — EB Hoff, 14, was running for class treasurer of the Class of 2022.
She announced her candidacy at her school's wooden lectern, decorated with a drawing of a howling wolf. It was early June, and EB's no-nonsense attire — a pale yellow sweater and black, ironed shorts — made her stand out from the slouching, jean-clad candidates lined up beside her.
She read confidently from her prepared statement. "Every fundraiser we did this year, every school event, every time one of my commitments needed something, I was there."
Speaking at length of her vision and qualifications — at one point she reminded her 47 classmates that she had faithfully executed officer duties "since I was elected in fourth grade" — EB looked up every so often at her peers, sprawled on the grass in front of her. A few boys were laughing and poking each other with sticks, but most of the students seemed to listen with genuine interest. All clapped respectfully when she finished.
Demonstrating confidence and speaking about the responsibilities she has fulfilled, EB Hoff, 14, announces her candidacy for class treasurer at the Telstar Freshman Academy's 4-H center campus in rural Maine. (Emily Kaplan for The Hechinger Report)
The kind of leadership and responsibility that shone through EB's speech is actively encouraged at this unusual program in rural Maine. Called the Telstar Freshman Academy, or TFA, it involves all its district's ninth graders in a hands-on learning method that uses outdoor-based projects and community-building activities as ways to teach across several disciplines.
The program is aimed at helping students feel connected to each other and their community in a place where — as in so many rural areas hit hard by the opioid epidemic and the 2008 recession — connectedness and a shared sense of purpose have been in short supply.
Kelly Dole, the school's science teacher, says that when she first started teaching at Telstar High School, in 1998, students were often unprepared for life after high school. Coming from rural townships in western Maine, half of them qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and many were part of families experiencing unemployment, domestic violence or substance abuse. In her decades at the traditional high school, she saw her students becoming increasingly aimless and disengaged.
Kelly Dole, who has taught science to freshmen in her Maine school district since 1998, says the recent shift to outdoor project-based learning in the Telstar Freshman Academy "has been a real positive in kids' lives." (Emily Kaplan for The Hechinger Report )
But since 2014, she says, when the district introduced this new outdoor project-based approach, students' ambition and sense of identity have dramatically improved. Instead of going to a traditional high school, all freshmen in MSAD 44 — a western Maine district including the rural towns of Bethel, Newry, Woodstock and Greenwood — spend every morning at the Bryant Pond 4-H center (which also serves as a summer camp), and return to the main high school to have lunch and take math and elective classes. As part of the program, the freshmen engage in intensive community-building exercises, including tending to animals, learning to rock climb, running a restaurant — and coaching each other as they run for student government.
"This style of learning, this family atmosphere that we have here, it's a real positive in kids' lives," Dole said. "The kids just have opportunities through this program that are really quite astonishing."
David Murphy, who has served as the district's superintendent since 2002 (and has worked in the district since 1984), explained that the approach was born of necessity. "High school is not really working for most kids," he said. "And it's certainly not working for small schools with rural kids."
Prior to 2014, students were distracted and disengaged, often doing the bare minimum to graduate from high school (if they did at all). To change these attitudes toward school, Murphy reasoned that the district needed to reimagine students' first, pivotal year in high school, after they move from eighth to ninth grade. "If that transition feels scary or intimidating for kids, or if they don't feel supported, or if they just feel overwhelmed, it's hard to get that time back," he said.
Working with Ryder Scott, the statewide director of the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center, Murphy created a program that merged outdoor and farm-based education with academic instruction, ultimately creating a faculty of five: a humanities teacher, a science teacher, an outdoor education teacher and two 4-H professionals. Together, they created a curriculum that incorporates state academic standards into personalized learning projects that reflect students' particular needs and interests, such as caring for the campus goats and planting a self-sustaining classroom garden.
Tara Pocock, an educator and 4-H professional, fixes the rain gutter on the campus barn. (Emily Kaplan for The Hechinger Report )
Additionally, they take advantage of private grants to support, among other experiences, a class trip to Washington, D.C. — which is particularly meaningful for the many students who have never traveled outside western Maine — and a mentorship program for students who have experienced trauma.
Dole said that this holistic, student-centered paradigm has changed her approach to teaching — for the better. Now, she said, as she approaches her lesson planning and her teaching, she asks herself questions she never asked before: "Do I need every kid to really deeply understand plate tectonics? versus, as a 14-year-old, What does it mean to be a student? What does it mean to work in a group or get along with others? Or to communicate in an effective manner? Or to be a positive force in your community?"
Though the program is still relatively new, schools leaders say students' academic growth (as measured by standardized tests) has improved, and an external report by the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance found that students themselves reported an increase in their sense that they can make a difference in their communities and that they are learning skills that will help them in the future. However, according to faculty and students alike, the benefits of TFA's approach are difficult to quantify.
EB Hoff, the candidate for treasurer, put it succinctly. At the end of her speech, she smiled at her classmates and spoke of their next chapter, 10th grade: "I can't wait to start making a difference."

For the best olive oil go Extra, Fresh, and all Australian.
Do you know your extra virgins from your olive oils? Your lampantes from your refineds? Your Australians from your Mediterraneans?
Our supermarkets are filled with all kinds of "olive oil" pretenders who claim to have super powers with very little substance to back it up.
So how do you know you're buying the best olive oil for you and your family?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the natural juice, cold pressed (or squeezed) from fresh olives. It is 100% natural and the highest grade of olive oil you can buy. EVOO has the highest range of therapeutic properties which are beneficial for weight control, anti-aging, inflammation and cardiovascular health.
Refined Olive Oils are oils of inferior quality due to the chemical processes they are subjected to, including gum extraction, neutralization, decolourisation, and heat treatments.
Olive Oils alone, are blends of mostly refined oil with a splash extra virgin olive oil. Refined oils are those that have been subject to chemical processing (see above). Refined olive oils are often labeled "Pure", "Extra Light" or "Light" which are simply marketing terms and not related to the quality or content of the oil.
Lampante Oil is quite simply lamp oil, and not fit for human consumption. Don't touch this stuff unless you want to light it up!
Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (AEVOO) is Extra Virgin Olive Oil made in Australia. Up to 90% of olive oil produced in Australia is certified "Extra Virgin", which means it's simply the best olive oil Aussies can buy.
Australian producers typically process their olives within 24 hours of harvesting, which means AEVOO is not only the best, it's also the freshest, because the quicker oil is squeezed from olives after being removed from the tree, the fresher it is!
Due to Australia's ideal growing conditions, leading farming and harvesting practices, and state of the art processing techniques, Australia is also one of the world's most awarded producers of EVOO – so Australian consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to getting their hands on the good stuff.
So what are the top four things you should look for next time you're buying a bottle of olive oil…? EXTRA, FRESH, CERTIFIED and AUSTRALIAN!
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the natural juice extracted from fresh, high quality olives. It is the tastiest and healthiest grade of olive oil.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best consumed within 24 months of harvest. Fresher Extra Virgin Olive Oil tastes better and is healthier for you. In Australia harvest takes place between April and June each year, so look for harvest date printed on the label.
Australian growers go above and beyond to ensure that they abide by industry standards food laws and labelling laws. A certified AEVOO is a promise to you that you are getting fresh, authentic, healthy EVOO.
Australia's world-class, locally grown Extra Virgin Olive Oils are fresher because they reach our shelves quicker. Look out for show medals and third party certification seals of approval to indicate superior quality.

Barnsley-based power systems consultants see growth through renewables
A Barnsley-based electrical engineering consultancy has seen turnover double in growth in the last 12 months' and is investing in growth to meet rising demand for its services.
Utility Consultancy and Engineering Ltd (UCE) designs complex electrical power systems which connect power users and power generators to the UK's electricity network.
Its customers include new-build commercial developments, data centres, housing estates and retail parks, plus a growing number of renewable energy producers constructing solar farms and wind farms.
UCE helps all these enterprises secure safe, efficient and cost-effective connections to the nation's energy network. In the last two years, demand for its services has grown and turnover doubled with work in the renewables sector now representing 70% of its business.
UCE managing director Paul Leeuwerke said: "We had a tough time during the recession but, since we have re-aligned the business to focus on the renewable energy sector we have seen a steep rise in demand for our expertise.
UCE, based at Barnsley Business and Innovation Centre, is being supported by Enterprising Barnsley, a European-funded programme delivered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council.
The company has increased its staff by five in the last 12 months and now employs three engineers and a CAD technician in Barnsley, two engineers in London, and one in Sardinia – with whom the team liaises via Skype.
Global recruitment has been key to filling these engineering posts. UCE's two London employees are both originally from New Zealand and, in Barnsley, one engineer originates from Spain and another from Malaysia.
Paul said: "We very much support current efforts to encourage more young people to pursue a career in engineering as it's still difficult to recruit engineering talent in the UK.
"I think it has been particularly difficult for us. Electricity may not be considered a very sexy side of engineering but it is critical to modern life and the industry is buoyant now with plenty of work to be done."
UCE has also invested in infrastructure. The company has spent over £20,000 on an earthing design software package and earthing measurement test kit; plus a Leica GS08 surveying tool to help them produce precision drawings for clients. It has also secured a contract to act as the UK and Ireland agent for an industry-leading Italian earthing analysis programme, GS Lab.
Also, UCE has just gained Lloyds (NERS) Accreditation for its design services (from low voltage to 132kV) which means it can now operate as a designer direct to the renewable energy industry – rather than supplying its expertise solely through third party independent connection providers (ICPs).
Paul said: "This accreditation is a fantastic step up for us in this growing market. We are a fresh skilled team with the latest technology at our fingertips."
Recent statistics issued by industry regulator OFGEM show there are approximately 400,000 new electricity connections in the UK each year, of which half are new housing and the rest are generation, commercial, industrial and retail developments. The market is worth about £600 million a year.
Enterprising Barnsley business development manager John Heckingbottom said: "We have worked with Paul at UCE for a number of years and it is great to see a highly-skilled Barnsley engineering company succeeding in the growing renewable energy and electrical power systems market.
"UCE has a wide customer-base and supplies its expertise to new developments across the UK, including dozens of solar and wind farms based in the south of England."
Enterprising Barnsley has supported UCE with online marketing, HR advice, leadership and management training.
Enterprising Barnsley is supported financially by the European Union and has attracted £3,015,276 investment from the European Regional Development Fund as part of Europe's support for the region's economic development, through the Yorkshire and Humber ERDF Programme.

Via Dinarica - Connecting Naturally
Environmental protection and eco-tourism often clash in developing countries. At Green Visions, we see the two as necessary partners in sustainable development and our projects. Our philosophy requires strong environmental practices, which we feel greatly enhance the responsible-tourism experiences for our guests and provide a healthy and sustainable economy for the struggling highlanders and rural population. Green Visions is very active in protecting Bosnia and Herzegovina's precious water and forest resources – two elements that have been extremely exploited since the peace accords in 1995. We believe that community activism and public awareness are key to promoting the most important issues facing our natural environment.
As leaders in this relatively new sector of tourism in post-war BiH, we see ourselves as the pioneers of a movement that will set the stage for long-term sustainable development.
The focus of our projects is on the rural and high mountain communities whose populations have been severely depleted due to the war and lack of social and economic means of survival. By "sustainable" we mean two things: preserving the ancient traditions that have allowed generation after generation to maintain healthy lifestyles and ecological harmony; and to introduce new, modern methods of eco-tourism, farming, scientific research, and other economic endeavors that will not drastically change their traditional ways and allow them to maintain families and community development.

Young children experiencing deprivation and neglect in institutional settings have impaired memory and executive functioning at ages 8 and 16 compared with peers placed early in quality foster homes, report investigators at Boston Children's Hospital. The study, interpreting the latest findings from the randomized controlled trial, the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This study shows us that the effects of deprivation and neglect in early childhood continue well into the second decade of life, providing strong evidence that early experience has a long-term impact on cognitive functioning in adolescence — a very important period of social and biological development," says Mark Wade, PhD, of the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital and the paper's first author.
An estimated 8 million children worldwide live in institutions. The long-running BEIP study compares psychosocial, cognitive and brain outcomes in children raised in Romanian orphanages, versus those adopted early in life by carefully vetted foster families and children who were never in institutions.
An analysis last fall reported high levels of mental health problems when institutionally-reared children reached adolescence, in particular difficult behaviors such as rule-breaking, excessive arguing with authority figures, stealing or assaulting peers. But these problems were reduced among children placed early with foster families.
Children in all groups, institutionalized or not, improved on several measures of memory and executive functioning as they got older (from age 8 to 16).
Among institutionalized children, even those eventually placed in foster care, early impairments in attention, short-term visual memory, spatial planning and problem solving (all components of executive functioning) among persisted through adolescence.
The gap in spatial working memory between ever-institutionalized children and those raised in the community widened by adolescence.
When institutionalized children were placed early in quality foster care, early difficulties in visual-spatial memory and new learning diminished by adolescence, making them indistinguishable from other children by age 16.
"This may point to a neural mechanism that supports children's cognitive development," says Charles A. Nelson, PhD, director of the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience at Boston Children's Hospital and senior author on the paper.

You saw it. The unrecognizable and scary photo of Lil Kim on Instagram captioned 'Miami Heat.'
Pale, pounds of makeup caked on her face and a blonde head of hair, the original Queen Bee looked more like Khloe Kardashian than the Kimberley Jones from Brooklyn I grew up listening to.
Homeless at 14-years-old and working for drug dealers until she was discovered by the Notorious BIG, Kim was born a hustler. But at her core she was a hurt young woman looking for acceptance from the men in her life. Some blame Biggie for her insecurities, which is unfair considering his own struggles (he once called himself fat, Black and ugly as ever). Kim suffered through abusive relationships, including one with a convicted murderer Damion Hardy, who was recently sentenced to life in prison for his role in six murders. Chile.
She's no longer the confident, sex-positive woman who could go toe-to-toe with the men and come out victorious. She's not the same person who celebrated her sexuality in a leopard bikini on the 'Hardcore' poster. Who we're looking at now is the scared, self-conscious young woman who hid her insecurities behind makeup and plastic surgery.
In an infamous Newsweek interview from 2000, which is currently making it's way around the Internet, Kim admitted to having low self-esteem and explained the root of her issues. "All my life men have told me I wasn't pretty enough–even the men I was dating. And I'd be like, 'Well, why are you with me, then?' "It's always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I'm cute, I can't see it. I don't see it no matter what anybody says."
Kim raised eyebrows a few months ago when she and Kim Kardashian posted the same photo on their respective social media accounts. Only, in Kim's photo, she appeared severely lightener.
Kim claimed it was because she wanted to showcase her makeup artist's great work, but we're not buying it.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Feb 12, 2016 at 12:08pm PST
I often find ask myself "why didn't she just stop having plastic surgery?" The boob job I understood. I even reasoned with her first nose job. But just like Michael Jackson before her, she couldn't stop. Many people have diagnosed her with Body Dysmorphic Disorder but we can only speculate.

Yesterday, People Magazine ran an entire segment dedicated to Lil Kim's appearance. I can't recall if Lil Kim has ever graced the pages of People before but I'm sure she's never been on the cover.
Yep, that's Lil' Kim! We're talking about her transformation today on #PeopleNow! LIVESTREAM https://t.co/OB9F0UQaaK pic.twitter.com/CSEetBCJSP
— Jeremy Parsons (@JeremyParsonsTV) April 25, 2016
It seems no matter what or how much white women enhance their appearance to look like Black women, it's acceptable. It's celebrated on celebs like Kim Kardashian.
But when a Black woman falls victim to the white supremacy she's been subjected to her entire life, she's viciously attacked. Black women often find themselves stuck in limbo: your features aren't beautiful on you but on your lighter and whiter counterparts, it's seen as absolutely gorgeous. The Black men you love reinforce those ideas by telling you that you aren't enough. That your brown skin with full lips and wide nose aren't beautiful. It's something that deeply affects Lil Kim.
Kim also said in the viral Newsweek article, "I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough."
And she was right. If you check Twitter at any time, you're bound to find endless attacks on Black women. Malcolm X once said the most disrespected person in America is the Black woman and 50+ years later, it still rings true.
Years before rappers were embracing high fashion, Lil Kim was already a muse to designer Marc Jacobs. Vogue Editor at Large Andre Leon Talley once dubbed her as "the Black Madonna." Lil Kim is a legend and a survivor.
I'll never attack Lil Kim's looks publicly again. I'll never ask why she didn't stop getting plastic surgery. I'll never ask her if she regrets her surgery.
But I'll make sure to tell her that she is loved and appreciated.
Kimberly Jones, you are enough.

Q: Why doesn't Apple's SDK documentation cover UI*? UIWebView, UIColor or UITextField for example have no entries in http://developer.apple.com/search.php or the documentation that comes with Xcode.  Are these documented somewhere?

A: The iPhone OS document sets are definitely available in the documentation that comes with Xcode (iPhone SDK downloads). You maybe need to download it, though.

iPhone 7 has been the talk of the town since it arrived in the market, and unexpectedly all the gossips have been about this phone failing to live it up to the hype. Whether it's about the design, there is not much on offer as it looks like a clone to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. But if you couldn't make the right decision in this regard and are now regretting to have this phone with you as it doesn't back your style rightly. So, we are going to run down over an extraordinary case that wraps up your phone and enhances your style like never before.
It will be pertinent to mention here that nowadays cases and covers work on the particular phenomena fashion-meets-function that means they provide protection but don't get you to knock down when it is about looking chic. The case being reviewed here is one of such cases; here we go!
If you're a fashionista by heart and aren't reluctant to out-of-the-box things and designs coming your way; then, of course, this case is for you. Moreover, if you are a plant-lover and want to signify the presence of greenery around or carry some similar message through it; this Cactus-based 3d case will work rightly for you.
This case with showing up cactus as a cover for your phone will be eye-appealing to many or lest it will be the talk of the town in some capacity. What all this case has to offer is making you rid of the monotonous cases in the market, and backing you up with a breeze of uniqueness.
Undoubtedly, it hits the bull's eye with its unique style. Who would have expected Cactus deployed for the protection of your phone? This case actually does so and with its 3d effects, it adds all the realness to the idea. If you think the thorns on cactus would be pinching your hand, you're supposed to rethink as it is made up of the protective silicone that makes your case protective and soft as well.
You don't need to have a green thumb to keep this cactus very much into the life; that's going to stay for long; with all thanks to the Valfre for backing it with superb material and adding enough style impression through it.
As getting in style breaks your bank, this case works exactly opposite to that with just costing you nominal for this dose of protection and uniqueness. The antenna on the side and red flowers on top work as a plus for this case.

In our mechanical system, we valued a solid, reliable structure that allowed us to focus on fulfilling our goal of playing three octaves rather than on flash and unnecessary complexity. We utilized a series of human-inspired fingers to press keys on the keyboard. We connected the fingers in an offset pattern, so that we could place the servos close enough together to play three octaves of notes, including sharps and flats. The mechanism was built from simple, easily replaced components, which allowed easy scaling from one to three octaves, and opened the possibility of including more in the future.
As shown in the CAD to the left, our mechanical system is made up of a series of servos on a V-shaped mount, each with an arm customized for its position relative to the keyboard. We did calculations to ensure that the arms would strike the keys at approximately the same velocity. The arms and servo mount are made of laser-cut MDF, and the arms have felt glued onto their heads to protect the piano keys. The arms are epoxied to the plastic servo attachments. Finally, the servos are screwed into place on the servo mount. We designed a free-standing servo mount to be placed in front of a keyboard or piano. We made this decision because we wanted to prevent any kind of damage to the keyboard, as per our design goals. Instead, we re-designed the mount so that it is self-supporting and does not need to be held up in any manner when it is playing.
Our main challenge was fitting the servos close enough together so that we are able to play keys adjacent to one another on the keyboard. To solve this, we quickly realized that we would have to offset our servos because the width of their casing was too wide. For a single octave, this problem was not too challenging, and was solved with a single V-shaped arrangement. Adding more octaves, however, was more challenging. Our immediate reaction was to keep a single, much larger V-shaped arrangement. However, this would have forced us to create precariously long arms. We re-considered the design to expand past a single V-shape and redesigned some of the arms so that they would be able to pass over other servos closer to the piano.
Over the course of this project, the design for our mechanical system is what changed the most. When we started, we were very interested in making use a mechanical system called a reciprocating rectilinear actuator, which converts continuous rotational motion to bi-directional linear motion. However, after investing some time into designing this system, we found that they would only work if we spent a significant amount of time making sure the tolerances were perfect on the gears. We decided to re-design using laser-cut arms and servos, to get precise position control.
With this decision, we re-evaluated our goals for the mechanical system and determined that we valued reliability over a more complicated system. This decision, which came reasonably early in the project, allowed us to make our system significantly simpler, more modular, and more easily replicated. Replication was an especially important component, as repication was such a key part of of the project. All of these factors allowed us not only to meet our minimum deliverable - a system capapble of playing a single octave in the key of C major - but also to expand to play three times as many notes.

Policy, access control, distributed systems, model-driven architecture.
The proliferation of different distributed systems platforms and security technologies complicates the integration of distributed applications and the migration of existing applications to new technologies. Model driven software development tries to tackle this problem by modeling the application logic undistorted by technology and mapping the model to the technology. Distributed systems security faces a similar problem in that there are many different platforms and security technologies that need to be integrated. This paper shows how the concepts of model driven software engineering can be applied to security. We present our flexible, model-driven security framework where a technology independent abstract representation of the security policy is stored in a policy repository, which is integrated with the underlying platform and security technology in a well defined and flexible manner.

UNICEF Club gives back
McLean's UNICEF Club spread awareness for children in need with blue-out
Students participate in blue-out to support World Children's Day. McLean's UNICEF Club created the blue-out in order to spread awareness for this children who are in need.
Rebeka Rafi
Rebeka Rafi, Managing Editor & Advertising Manager
This year, Mclean's UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) Club was kicked in full gear; the club has been active in fundraising and spreading awareness about children who are in need of humanitarian relief or aid.
On Wednesday Nov. 20, UNICEF Club urged students to dress in blue in an attempt to make students participate in a blue-out. This initiative was done in order to spread awareness during World Children's Day.
"It's a day to raise awareness of and support children's welfare across the globe, no matter what race, nationality, or age. It's a day to support children and raise awareness for children, especially those in need or in poverty around the world," said senior Sachi Dieker, Founder and President of McLean UNICEF Club.
The club members are all very involved and put in the effort to spread awareness, as well as contribute to the cause. They even had a bake sale to raise funds for UNICEF.
"[We had a bake sale] for UNICEF World Children's Day which is the biggest celebration of children within the UNICEF organization of the year," Dieker said.
However, their efforts did not stop there. They went above and beyond in order to accumulate funds for the children in need.
"We even made collages from pictures of children from around the world in magazines as decoration for the bake sale, which I think helped people in the club connect with World Children's Day and the awareness that comes with it," Dieker said.
Dieker founded this club in March 2019 because she has a connection to UNICEF's cause. She has travelled to different countries and has witnessed this issue in a variety of settings and cultures.
"I have grown up around the world and have seen children in need or poverty first hand," Dieker said. "For example, I've lived in counties such as South Africa, Brunei, Taiwan and Japan, and seeing children in poverty really urged me to create the fundraising club at McLean.
The club has already had other fundraising initiatives as well. They previously had a bake sale to raise funds for World Water Day.
"We've done a bunch of different fundraising and drives so far," Dieker said. "We had a bake sale for World Water Day, which raised awareness of the dirty water kids drink everyday."
Not only have they donated proceeds to UNICEF, but they also reached out to a local non-profit called Second Story, who help youth in crisis or homelessness.
"[We put together] Ziploc bags filled with different types of non perishable food," Dieker said. "They requested it on their website so we decided to have people donate food and create food packs."
All members in the club are active when it comes to their fundraising events and activities. The members recently had a Chipotle fundraiser to donate the proceeds to UNICEF as well.
"For our 'Eat for Change' event at Chipotle, I went to help out ant to get people to show up to participate for our cause," member Salah Mohammed said.
(Left to right) Seniors Yasar Dambo, Sachi Dieker and Kellan Truz all pose with their Chipotle bowls as they support the UNICEF fundraiser. All proceeds were donated directly to UNICEF.
Their efforts are paying off because the club has been very active in fundraising events.
"My hope is that students can be more aware of children around the world in need and to create an environment where students can help these kids," Dieker said.
Overall, it is clear that all the club members involved strive to help out in any way possible. Each event is intended to help children across the world who are in desperate need for aid and all proceeds are donated directly to UNICEF.
"Being in McLean, we are fortunate to be in a position where we can help others." Mohammed said. "I believe that the main goal of UNICEF Club is to make sure we take advantage of our position and do as much as we can to contribute to UNICEF's cause."

HT101 Church Fathers (100AD-750AD) explores the writing of the Church Fathers from the time of the Apostles to 750 A.D. The Patristic Period of Church History witnessed several of the most fundamental developments of the Catholic faith including Creedal formation, the two natures of Christ, Trinitarian theology, and Grace. Join us for this first course in a four part series on the development of theology through the millennia. Instructor: Rev. Clinton Sensat, S.T.L. The course will be held at St. Thomas More in Eunice on Wednesdays: September 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, October 7; 6:00PM-8:15PM.
MT102 St. John Paul II on Marriage and Family Culturally, the institutions of marriage and the family appear to be on the verge of collapse, leaving many Catholics searching for the truth. In an effort to provide answers and hope to the faithful during this challenging time, this six-session study will offer an overview of several documents promulgated by Saint John Paul II: The Gospel of Life, On the Dignity and Vocation of Women, the Theology of the Body and the Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World.

A process to obtain hard liquor from the discard or waste beverages like soda and apple nectar was investigated. The process starts with an alcoholic fermentation and a subsequent distillation. For each sample two treatments were used to carry out the alcoholic fermentation. One treatment consisted in the direct fermentation of the samples while the other adjust pH to 4.5 and added 0.2 g/l of ammonium phosphate. Except the yellow soda, all the samples with both treatments reached a complete fermentation. This difference may be due to the containing of the yellow soda of 0.2596 g/l of sodium benzoate, which is a yeast inhibitor. On the other hand, the sample that consists on a mixture of yellow and black soda and apple nectar, reached a complete fermentation when the treatment that adjust pH and added nutrients was applied. The statistical analysis of the alcoholic grade of the fermented samples indicated that there are no significant differences between the two treatments in the case of the black soda and the apple néctar, whereas in the case of the mixture and the yellow soda there were significant differences obtaining higher alcohol content with the treatment that adjust the pH and added nutrients. The yields of hard liquor 40 ºG.L. obtained from black soda, apple néctar and the mixture were 16.6, 11.8 and 12.5 percent respectively.

Even With Climate Change, the World Isn't Doomed
September 23, 2021 September 23, 2021 ~ karllembke
Scott Adams has his "Law of Slow Moving Disasters". Any disaster that we can see coming from a long way away tends to get solved long before it reaches us.
Humanity has overcome far greater problems before and can do so again.
Young people across the world are terrified of climate change, according to a forthcoming Lancet study. More than 45% of people 16 to 25 in the 10 countries surveyed are so worried that it affects their daily life and functioning. Almost half of young Americans believe "humanity is doomed," and two-thirds think "the future is frightening." But while climate change is a problem, panic is unwarranted.
The data show that humanity has overcome much larger threats over the past century. In 1900, if humanity had gotten rid of air pollution—mostly indoor pollution caused by smoky fuels like wood and dung—the benefit would have been equivalent to global gross domestic product rising 23%. To a young audience, that might look like an insufficient measure of well-being, but higher GDP means better health, lower mortality, greater access to education and in general a better standard of living. By 2050 the problem of air pollution will be mostly solved. And that's only one of the many issues humanity has shorn down over the last 100 years, according to data 21 top economists and I gathered.
The challenge climate change poses, both to the environment and society, looks rather small compared to those humanity has already met. Noble Prize-winning climate economist William Nordhaus has shown that a 6.3-degree Fahrenheit rise in world temperatures by 2100—which is probable if policy makers do little to stop climate change—would cost only 2.8% of global GDP a year. The United Nations' latest estimate puts it even lower at 2.6% of GDP for a 6.6-degree Fahrenheit increase.
Moreover, the U.N. expects the average person to be 450% as rich in 2100 as today, absent the cost of climate change. Following current temperature projections, global warming would knock that down to only 434% as rich. That's a problem, but it isn't the end of the world.

The Reusable Bag Fairy Tale
First, mea culpa: I was a big believer in reusable bags, though I have the rip-stop nylon kind, not cotton. The entire 144-page paper, "Life Cycle Assessment of grocery carrier bags," here . (See page 13 for "executive summary" in English.) This life cycle analysis by Denmark's Environment Ministry compares plastic bags with alternatives. [ https://t.co/IRTGtP7alS ] It finds that you must reuse a shopping bag from Organic cotton 20,000 times if you want the environmental damage to be lower than that of 1 plastic bag. pic.twitter.com/zfg7XI9YIg — Max Roser (@MaxCRoser) July 4, 2021 The researchers' take, ultimately:

Why Wind and Solar Energy Are Doomed to Failure
April 27, 2021 April 27, 2021 ~ karllembke
Wind and solar energy are both essentially obsolete technologies. There is a reason why only the very rich or the very adventurous sail across oceans: the wind is unreliable, and at best produces relatively little energy. Nevertheless, liberals have concocted fantasies whereby all of our electricity, or perhaps our entire economy, will be powered by those fickle sources.
There are a number of reasons why this will never happen, but a paper published last week by Center of the American Experiment argues that land use constraints are the most basic reason why wind and solar are inexorably destined to fail. The paper, titled Not In Our Backyard, is authored by internationally recognized energy expert Robert Bryce, producer of the terrific documentary Juice: How Electricity Explains The World and the book A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations
Because wind and solar produce so little energy per square mile, an enormous amount of land would have to be devoted to panels and turbines if we seriously tried to get all of our present electricity needs from those weak sources:
Miller and Keith determined that "meeting present-day U.S. electricity consumption, for example, would require 12 percent of the continental U.S. land area for wind." A bit of math reveals what that 12 percent figure means. The land area of the continental U.S. is about 2.9 million square miles, or 7.6 million square kilometers. Twelve percent of that area would be about 350,000 square miles or 912,000 square kilometers. Therefore, merely meeting America's current electricity needs with wind energy would require a territory more than two times the size of California.
Suffice to say that this just isn't going to happen.
For one thing, no one places wind farms in Washington, D.C. or midtown Manhattan. Nor are wind projects slated for Long Island, Marin County, or near any valuable suburban developments. It is rural America that bears the burden of many square miles of wind and solar installations.
"Green" energy holds political sway, which has made a relative handful of people (largely non-Americans and lobbyists) immensely wealthy, while impoverishing utility rate payers and taxpayers–that is to say, the rest of us. This insanity will continue until voters wise up, or–more likely, I am afraid–until the laws of physics, along with land use and raw materials constraints, make it blindingly obvious that the "green dream" is just that. A nightmare.

Solar panels in Sahara could boost renewable energy but damage the global climate – here's why — Watts Up With That?
February 23, 2021 ~ karllembke
While the black surfaces of solar panels absorb most of the sunlight that reaches them, only a fraction (around 15%) of that incoming energy gets converted to electricity. The rest is returned to the environment as heat. The panels are usually much darker than the ground they cover, so a vast expanse of solar cells…
In addition, both solar panels and wind turbines have the potential of bringing rain to the desert. This is a problem because forest has a lower albedo than desert does. It's darker, so it absorbs more heat.
I guess the answer to global warming might be to turn the Amazon forest into desert.

STEPHEN MILLER: Are you ready for the climate lockdowns?
The possibility of climate lockdowns is already being floated by some of our greatest thinkers. They see a confluence of global crises as an opportunity. The perfect storm caused by COVID-19 and the resulting global economic meltdown offers a chance to take what they see as bold and dramatic action to save the planet. The Biden administration will certainly use the consequences of COVID to push through some green legislation, but just as before, it will not be enough in the eyes of progressives. There must always be more.
Mariana Mazzucato, an author and a professor in innovative economics at the University of London, raised the prospect of climate lockdowns in MarketWatch last September:
'Under a "climate lockdown", governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.'

Slow Moving Disasters: The Cost of Climate Change
Bjorn Lomborg bucks the trend.
The new United Nations report is being talked about as though it portends the end of the world: To avoid catastrophe, we must instantly transform the entire economy no matter the costs.
This is unjustified. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its latest major global analysis, estimated that the total impact of unmitigated climate change from extreme weather, changes in agriculture, rising sea levels and so on would be equivalent to reducing the average person's income by between 0.2 and 2 percent in the 2070s. [Box 3.1, file page 95.]
Link to the IPCC report where this number may be found. It may be a made-up number, but neither Lomborg nor I made it up.
Assuming 3% annual income growth over 50 years (2020-2070) gives us a 438% increase in income. So cutting that by 2% means the average person would see only a 430% increase over half a century.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The U.N. Says America Is Already Cutting So Much Carbon It Doesn't Need Th…
Yesterday, The United Nations released its Emissions Gap Report 2020, an annual assessment of contributions to greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. The report has some notable information amid an array of complicated projections that may or may not come true. It claims, for instance, that "despite a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a temperature rise."
But for the United States, the real value in this report is as an advisory that it need not join the Paris Climate Accord. This report is evidence that, instead, the U.S. should just keep doing what it is doing to cut its own emissions. The U.S. is the most successful major country at mitigating its own pollution, and the U.N. shows this.

Repost for the New Administration: Trans-partisan Plan #1: Addressing Man-Made Global Warming With A Plan That Could Be Supported By Both Democrats and Republicans
By the way, drafts of Biden's plans released so far has him doing almost the polar opposite of every step I suggest. The cancellation of individual pipeline projects is just stupid political micro-managing to absolutely no benefit. (First published September, 2018)
While I am not deeply worried about man-made climate change, I am appalled at all the absolutely stupid, counter-productive things the government has implemented in the name of climate change, all of which have costly distorting effects on the economy while doing extremely little to affect man-made greenhouse gas production.

Lewis Hine as Photographer, Activist and Character
James Estrin has a great interview up with Alison Nordstrom about the Lewis Hine exhibit she has curated for the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris. The collection of images over at the Lens blog on the New York Times site is great, but it's the interview with Nordstrom that really interests me.
She has deeply studied not just his work but him, as well, and speaks eloquently about the man behind the images.
Before his experience in Europe, his work mostly focuses on the negative: it's child labor, it's slum housing. He said, "I had to show the things that needed to be changed and I had to show the things that needed to be celebrated." But until this trip to Europe, he focused on the things that needed to be changed.

All Be Broadband packages come with a free wireless router, plus free customer and technical support.
Interested readers can find out more information on Be at our Be Broadband review.
Broadband provider Be has announced that its 3 months free broadband incentive will end on May 31st.
The offer is available on its Be Unlimited and Be Pro broadband packages which both provide download speeds up to 24Mbps together with an unlimited usage allowance and free wireless modem.
With upload speeds up to 1.3Mbps, the Be Unlimited package costs £17.50 a month after the first 3 months, while Be Pro, with increased upload speeds up to 2.5Mbps costs £21.50 a month.
Both packages have a 12 month contract period with customers able to get their first 3 months free by entering the discount code '3MONTHSFREE' during the sign up process on the bethere.co.uk website.
Be is the UK's fastest ADSL broadband supplier offering speeds up to 24Mbps. It is owned by O2 who purchased the company back in June 2006.
Readers can find out further information on Be at our Be Broadband review.
Be Broadband, the UK's fastest ADSL broadband supplier, has developed a first person shooter (FPS) game to promote its broadband services to gamers.
The ISP has joined forces with interactive design agency 'magneticNorth' to create an FPS game called "Unreal Call of Brothers 5: The Road to Broadband Heaven" – which is basically a tongue in cheek reference to other popular shooter games.
In the game players are part of a genetically different, elite team that have to destroy 3 enemy locations. Once they have destroyed the locations they are allowed entry into Broadband Heaven.
Along the way players have to be careful of broadband lag while shooting Be Ping Power-Ups in order to increase their connection speed. When a player shoots an enemy, points are earned and bonuses are gained. This then helps them to progress into Broadband Heaven.
Be Broadband is already a popular ISP choice for gamers and it is hoped that the new game will enhance its broadband sales further.
The game may not be serious and complicated, but it certainly helps to pass a few minutes while you have fun shooting the enemies and avoiding broadband lag.
Be Broadband are currently offering 3 months free broadband on their 24Mb Unlimited and Pro packages which provide speeds up to 24Mb. Orders must be made online at the Be website using the promo code '3MONTHSFREE' by the 31st May 2009.
