An ambitious four-year project is to develop and demonstrate replicable strategies for designing, constructing and managing large scale district renovation projects for achieving nearly zero energy cities. The results will open the way for new refurbishments that bring the EU closer to its 2020 goal of ensuring that all new buildings consume very little energy.
Buildings across Europe currently represent about 40% of the energy consumption and about 36% of the EU's total CO2 emissions. Though the 'zero energy' concept is billed as a means to reduce carbon emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, it remains relatively uncommon in developed countries but is fast becoming a possibility through the progress made in new energy and construction technologies.
Sixteen research institutes with the support of EU funds are involved in the R2CITIES project, which hopes to develop cost-effective, high performance retrofitting solutions to improve the quality of city renovation and increase the energy efficiency of buildings.

More rain is set to cause disruption over the weekend leading to Christmas (Pictures: Backgrid/London News Pictures)
At least two weeks' worth of rain is set to fall within the next 24 hours as flooding continues to wreak chaos on Christmas travel plans.
A severe weather warning for more heavy rain is in place across southern England from 12.01am on Saturday until noon on Sunday.
The Met Office said up to 30mm of rainfall could cause yet more disruptions for drivers trying to get home in time for next week's festivities.
In total 101 flood warnings – where flooding is expected – have been issued for England, alongside 256 flood alerts, which warn flooding is possible.
Meteorologist Marco Petagna said 'persistent rain' is expected to continue through to the evening in the south east and south west, threatening more concerns for travellers.
He warned: 'It's not going to take much [rain] to cause more problems.'

Marco urged drivers to 'keep tune of the forecast because the timings of rainfall could change over the next few days' as the Met Office may need to issue further warnings.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin added the rain was coming from a 'fairly angry weather system' which will also bring some 'very strong winds'.
The RAC had estimated around 31 million leisure trips by car would be taken in the days leading to Christmas, with warnings of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and the worst of it expected on the M1, M25, M5 and M6.
It comes after adverse weather on Friday caused the M23 to be closed between junctions 10 and 11, in West Sussex, for around eight hours after a watercourse burst its banks.

Several rail lines were blocked, while bus and road journey times in the region were expected to be longer amid the flooded roads.
Sussex Police described driving conditions in the region as 'miserable', and said there was 'a lot of standing water on the roads'.
Devon and Cornwall Police said flooding across the force area made 'a number of roads impassable' and it urged motorists to take extra care and avoid driving into standing water.
Highways England has urged motorists to adapt their driving for wet weather by slowing down, keeping well back from the vehicle in front and easing off the accelerator if steering becomes unresponsive.
More road closures are expected as weather warnings remain in place (Picture: Rex)

John Halsall, managing director of Network Rail's southern region, said the combination of one of the wettest autumns since records began with a month's worth of rainfall in the past five days has put the rail network 'under enormous pressure'.
Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express services were affected after rail lines were flooded.
The picture is a little brighter for the rest of England, however, with bright spells and scatters of showers expected on Saturday and Sunday, with a touch of frost overnight in the north.

Accelerated soil erosion has become a pervasive feature on landscapes around the world and is recognized to have substantial implications for land productivity, downstream water quality, and biogeochemical cycles. However, the scarcity of global syntheses that consider long-term processes has limited our understanding of the timing, the amplitude, and the extent of soil erosion over millennial time scales. As such, we lack the ability to make predictions about the responses of soil erosion to long-term climate and land cover changes. Here, we reconstruct sedimentation rates for 632 lakes based on chronologies constrained by 3,980 calibrated ¹⁴C ages to assess the relative changes in lake-watershed erosion rates over the last 12,000 y. Estimated soil erosion dynamics were then complemented with land cover reconstructions inferred from 43,669 pollen samples and with climate time series from the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model. Our results show that a significant portion of the Earth surface shifted to human-driven soil erosion rate already 4,000 y ago. In particular, inferred soil erosion rates increased in 35% of the watersheds, and most of these sites showed a decrease in the proportion of arboreal pollen, which would be expected with land clearance. Further analysis revealed that land cover change was the main driver of inferred soil erosion in 70% of all studied watersheds. This study suggests that soil erosion has been altering terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems for millennia, leading to carbon (C) losses that could have ultimately induced feedbacks on the climate system.

Davide Santon staying in Newcastle and learning the Geordie lingo
DAVIDE SANTON has no interest in making a return to the San Siro - and the Italian defender is instead hoping to brush up on speaking Geordie.
Newcastle United defender Davide Santon
The Chronicle understands that his old club Inter Milan continue to monitor his progress in the Premier League and would buy him back if he became available.
But while Inter head coach Andrea Stramaccioni – fresh from leading the Nerazzurri to victory over bitter rivals AC Milan at the weekend – wants to add younger players to his aging defensive ranks in January, Santon is delighted to be on Tyneside.
The Toon full-back is happy and has met a Geordie girl who has helped him settle in the area after a tough first year.
Santon said: "I am very happy here.
"My aim is to be a success with Newcastle and help the team progress. Everybody is excited here by what the future holds. We are a young team and we are growing together."
Santon loves working with United boss and LMA and Premier League manager of the year Alan Pardew.
He added: "He is great to work with, he can help me become a better player. His plans are well thought out and this helps us get good results.
"At Inter there were a lot of senior players in the squad. But at Newcastle we are a team of young players who will continue to improve."
Santon was described as "a revelation" by his manager and has started eight matches already this season after a slow start to life on Tyneside last term.
But Santon is loving life in the area now, saying: "I love the region here. There is so much to do. I hope to be speaking Geordie by the end of the season as well!"
Meanwhile, United are still hoping that injured defenders Fabricio Coloccini (hip) and Steven Taylor (calf) will rejoin training this week ahead of the trip to Wearside, once the international fixtures have been completed.
Both stars are desperate to figure in the derby clash with Sunderland, while Tim Krul also has a chance of being between the posts at the Stadium of Light.
Goalkeeper Rob Elliot is also making good progress from the groin injury that forced him off at half-time of the 3-0 win over Bordeaux in the Europa League.

Colony's first Petaling Jaya coworking space is 92% occupied
Colony, Malaysia's leading luxury coworking space and serviced office officially launched its fourth location and debut in Selangor, Colony @ Mutiara Damansara
Colony @ Mutiara Damansara officially opens its doors with 92% occupancy in July (2019).
With the move of two large corporations, Carsome and Mamee-Double Decker, Colony has successfully achieved 92% occupancy on the first day of opening, making their Mutiara Damansara centre the fastest of the group's expanding portfolio to achieve profitability.
From left: Teoh Jiun Ee (Chief Operating Officer at Carsome), Janice Chin (Regional Director, Marketing and Product at Carsome), Timothy Tiah (co-founder and CEO at Colony) at Carsome's new headquarters.
This positive outlook paves the way for Colony as they make track towards their upcoming flagship expansion. With the culmination of Colony's sustained success, an upcoming RM6.1 million property is designed to be Kuala Lumpur's premiere workspace destination, with aims of dramatically rewriting the co-working experience Colony has to offer. Colony @ Star Boulevard KLCC will take over the penthouse and rooftop of Star Boulevard at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
"Colony was selected due to their differentiated product and service offering which were aligned with our requirements for the property. Their presence provided us with the quality offering we intend to deliver to our customers at Star Boulevard KLCC. With Colony's management, we are confident that their presence would assist in driving up rental rates as well as value in the long run for all stakeholders involved." said Vincent Tan, Managing Director of LAB Properties.
According to Timothy Tiah, co-founder and CEO of Colony, "At other properties, we had to deal directly with the owners, but in this case, we had a professional firm representing the developer and owners to ensure the tenant mix was not compromised."
Timothy Tiah, co-founder and CEO of Colony, welcoming Carsome to their new headquarters at Colony @ Mutiara Damansara.
"LAB Properties was appointed as the retail consultant and asset management company for the property by the developer Alpine Return and its respective owners. Their role and objective was to qualify tenants who occupied Star Boulevard KLCC, to drive up the rental rates and property values in the long run."
"In the preliminary stages, Colony was shortlisted as one of the potential anchor tenants and we managed to work hand-in-hand with LAB properties to curate a unique offering in line with Star Boulevard KLCC's positioning. This enabled us to work really closely with LAB Properties to make Colony @ Star Boulevard KLCC our flagship space – one like no other."

"The result is a flagship penthouse coworking space with premium interiors and opulent ambience coupled with a 12,000 square foot rooftop garden where guests can mingle in lush greenery held against the backdrop of the soaring Petronas Twin Towers."
"We normally look for JV (joint venture) models where the landlord puts in 70% to 90% of our capital expenditure in return for a profit or revenue share. Every now and then, we have property developers who visit us to check out our concept to see if we're a fit to their developments. We're really blessed to be able to find KYM Tower and Star Boulevard, both locations that share our vision of creating a premium-quality workspace at a prime location."
"We want to give each of our centres their own personalities, so all five of our centres have their own design themes. For Colony @ Mutiara Damansara, the style is inspired by Wes Anderson."
The whimsical use of colour and distinctive visual style of the auteur Wes Anderson is represented in the interior decoration of Colony @ Mutiara Damansara.
"Audrey Ooi, our co-Founder, is in charge of the interior decoration of all Colony's centres, she would work with our interior designers to come up with a concept. Even though all locations are different in style, the brand's signature aesthetic of monochromatic motifs, gleaming gold accents, and the blending of contemporary fixtures still promises the same Colony experience."
The reserved desk area at Colony @ Mutiara Damansara.
"When Colony chooses to expand to new locations, we seek to redefine how the experience at work can be for our guests in the area. To achieve that, up to the standards of Colony, we have to assemble an exceptional project team. We've been able to do just that with our team and we can't wait to unveil what we've prepared for you when our flagship opens in August," says Timothy Tiah.
Colony's flagship location at Star Boulevard KLCC is slated to open in August (2019).
"This year, our main focus is to make all five of our centres profitable. Right now we have four open, and while three of them are profitable, one of them isn't. The fifth outlet will be opening in August, so we will have to see – it normally takes about five to six months on average for a centre to turn an operational profit."
At Colony, monthly rental begins from RM410 for each open hot desk seat, RM910 for each reserved desk, and a private office starts from RM3,488. Time-based passes are priced from RM338 for 100 hours. Event spaces and meeting rooms are also available for reservation from RM128 per person.

Hyundai to launch tablet production in Russia
Moscow: South Korean company Hyundai will launch tablet computer production under its brand name in Russia, with sales expected from autumn 2012.
"We are preparing to start sales at the Russian market (in September). We signed the first distribution agreement with Tekhnotreid firm last week and we are looking for other distributors," a Hyundai official told the gazeta.ru online newspaper.
Hyundai will provide two seven-inch tablet models, one model with 9.7 inch screen and one with 10.1 inch screen working on the Android Ice Cream Sandwich mobile operating system.
Each model will have 1 GB RAM and 8 GB onboard memory, and will support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions, said Dmitry Ryabinin, chief analyst of the Hi-Tech@Mail.Ru website.
The South Korean company is looking to produce the first batches of tablet computers in China by October 2012 and then re-deploy its facilities to Russia.
If sales reach 200,000 tablets in the first year, Hyundai may build a plant in Russia, a source said.
Ryabinin also said that it would, however, be difficult for Hyundai to take a significant share of the tablet market due to strong competition from other producers.
The tablets could cost from 7,000 rubles ($213) to 12,000 rubles ($365).

Shock of teens secretly put on contraceptives
Carol is bitter. Her Class Eight daughter is already on a family planning contraceptive.
For five years, the 14-year old girl from Nakuru's Kaptembwo slum has been carrying an implant she got from a private clinic.
Carol, 36, learnt about the uptake of family planning from her daughter's friend after realising the two were sexually active. She stormed the clinic demanding to know who had inserted the contraceptive in her daughter and said it should be removed.
"Why would my daughter use family planning methods? I am puzzled, and angered as a parent on why this was done behind my back," Carol said.
Her efforts to get answers at the private clinic have been futile, as the management keeps dodging her.
The implant was inserted on August 19, 2020, and date of its removal is August 19, 2025. The girl could not comprehend the side-effects of contraceptives during an interview at their home.
But she revealed that two weeks after the implant was inserted, she bled for one week. "So far, I have had no complications since the bleeding stopped," she said.
She is not alone. Adolescent girls as young as 14 in Nakuru's Kaptembwo and Kwa Rhonda slums are secretly being introduced to family planning methods without the knowledge of their parents.
The school-going children are on three-month injections and five-year implants to control birth, services offered in private clinics and chemist shops within the slums.
Beatrice, the mother to a Form Two girl at Nakuru High School, is also in shock after learning that her daughter gad an implant. "Has my daughter secretly been having sex? Surely, why should she use contraceptives without notifying me?" she posed.
It is three years since she was introduced to implants. "I was given these while in was in Class Eight. Initially, I did not have a boyfriend, but I was told it can control birth," the girl said.
She has endured severe bleeding, dizziness and irregular menstruation since the implants were inserted.
Use of family planning methods, she says, has helped prevent pregnancies as she indulges in sex for food. "My mother does casual jobs to earn a living. That money has not been enough. I, therefore, help her feed my younger siblings," she said.
She claims her mother is aware that she is using contraceptives, allegations her mother denied. "Why would I introduce my daughter to long term contraceptives? Is she a student or a wife who needs to plan for birth?" Beatrice posed.
Eve from Kimonde area in Kaptembwo slum was lured into family planning methods by her peers. The Third Former got a three-month injection and claims she informed her parents. "My daughter is sexually active. When she shared with me that she wanted to use contraceptives, I did not object," her father said in an interview.
The Standard visited one of the clinics where about eight teenagers claimed to have received family planning services, but management was reluctant to talk to us.
Tabitha (a woman who claimed to be the owner of the clinic), said the teens requested for the methods, without consent of their parents. "We are allowed by the law to provide them with family planning services," she said.
Reproductive health experts told The Standard that consent from parents or a caregiver is a mandatory requirement before issuing contraceptives to teenagers.
Dr Adelaide Baraza, an obstetrician at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital, said health professionals should take clients through side effects of contraceptives to enable them to choose convenient methods.
"Anybody who is sexually active, and desires to prevent pregnancy has a right to access contraceptives. If parents agree to have their teenage girls put on family planning methods, nobody should deny them," she said. "But teenagers cannot decide on their own."
Side effects associated with some methods at a young age are reduced calcium in the bones and inadequate bone development.

Q: Is there a way to index an array by enums in Rust? I want to represent a table of data in the memory like the following:
     | USD | EUR |
-----+-----+-----+
John | 100 | 50  |
-----+-----+-----+
Tom  | 300 | 200 |
-----+-----+-----+
Nick | 200 | 0   |
-----+-----+-----+

There is a known set of people, each of them owns some currency.
And I have the following enums:
enum Person {
    John,
    Tom,
    Nick
}

enum Currency {
    USD,
    EUR
}

I'd like to encode this data as 2D array, and it would be cool to be able to index array elements not by usize but by enum. E.g.:
data[Person::John][Currency::USD] = 100;

Is it possible to do with arrays and enums in Rust? Or is there any other data structure that would serve for this?
I am aware of HashMap, but it's not exactly what I want because:

*

*HashMap works on the heap (what makes it much slower than regular stack allocated array)

*HashMap gives me no guarantee that item exist. E.g. every time I want to get something I have to unwrap it and handle None case, what is not very handy in comparison with usage of normal array.
This is different from How do I match enum values with an integer? because I am not interested in converting enum to usize; I just want a handy way to access array/map items by enum.

A: If you need this to be implemented using arrays, this isn't as straightforward as it might seem.
In order to be able to contain both of these pieces of information in an array (to be able to index by them), you first need to combine them in a single type, e.g. in a struct:
struct Money([(Currency, usize); 2]);

struct PersonFinances {
    person: Person,
    money: Money
}

Then, if you want to be able to index the table, you will need to wrap it in your own type so that you can implement the Index trait for it:
use std::ops::Index;

struct Table([PersonFinances; 3]);

impl Index<(Person, Currency)> for Table {
    type Output = usize;

    fn index(&self, idx: (Person, Currency)) -> &Self::Output {
        &self
        .0
        .iter()
        .find(|&pf| pf.person == idx.0) // find the given Person
        .expect("given Person not found!")
        .money
        .0
        .iter()
        .find(|&m| m.0 == idx.1)  // find the given Currency
        .expect("given Currency not found!")
        .1
    }
}

Then you can index the Table by a Person, Currency pair:
table[(Tom, EUR)]

Rust playground link to the whole code

A: ljedrz provided a good solution.
Another way to approach the problem is to use existing crate enum-map.
Add the following to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
enum-map = "*"
enum-map-derive = "*"

Then, in src/main.rs:
extern crate enum_map;
#[macro_use] extern crate enum_map_derive;

#[derive(Debug, EnumMap)]
enum Person { John, Tom, Nick }

#[derive(Debug, EnumMap)]
enum Currency { USD, EUR }

use enum_map::EnumMap;
use Person::*;
use Currency::*;

fn main() {
    // Create 2D EnumMap populated with f64::default(), which is 0.0
    let mut table : EnumMap<Person, EnumMap<Currency, f64>> = EnumMap::default();

    table[John][EUR] = 15.25;

    println!("table = {:?}", table);
    println!("table[John][EUR] = {:?}", table[John][EUR]);
}

The output:
table = EnumMap { array: [EnumMap { array: [0, 15.25] }, EnumMap { array: [0, 0] }, EnumMap { array: [0, 0] }] }
table[John][EUR] = 15.25

A: You want a HashMap:
use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
enum Person {
    John,
    Tom,
    Nick
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
enum Currency {
    USD,
    EUR
}

type Table = HashMap<Person, HashMap<Currency, f32>>;

fn main() {
    let mut table = Table::new();
    let mut currency = HashMap::<Currency, f32>::new();

    currency.insert(Currency::USD, 100_f32);
    table.insert(Person::John, currency);

    println!("{}", table[&Person::John][&Currency::USD]);
}

A: This isn't nearly so hard as it's made out to be.  I appreciate that you said that you are "not interested in converting enum to usize", but it may be that people mis-interpreted you to mean that you want to avoid that at all costs.  All you have to do here is:
data[Person::John as usize][Currency::USD as usize] = 100;

As long as data really is a 2D array, everything will compile without warnings or errors, and will work as expected.
Actually, you might need to declare Person with the added "= 0" on the first element, like this:
enum Person { John = 0, Dave, Dan, Will }

I like to use this cheat:
    enum Person { John = 0, Dave, SIZE }
    enum Currency { USD = 0, CAD, SIZE }
    let mut my2d: [[f32; Person::SIZE as usize]; Currency::SIZE as usize] = [[0., 0.], [0., 0.]];
    my2d[Person::John as usize][Currency::USD as usize] = 5.4;
    println!("$$: {}", my2d[Person::John as usize][Currency::USD as usize]);

The 2030 development agenda
Goal #8: Decent work and economic growth
ILO Contributions to achieve Target 8.7
Background resources
How will you help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals at work?
Jobs and livelihoods at the heart of the post-2015 development agenda ...
ILO concept note #1 for the post-2015 development agenda
Jobs and livelihoods at the heart of the post-2015 development agenda
As the debate on the post Millennium Development Goals agenda gathers pace the ILO calls for job creation and social protection to be included in the list of Development Goals which will be drawn up by the United Nations after the target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals passes in 2015.
Jobs and livelihoods at the heart of the post-2015 development agendapdf - 0.1 MB
"Development happens through jobs." This simple statement sums up the enduring reality that work is the way out of poverty for poor households and that the expansion of productive and decent employment is the way economies grow and diversify. For countries at all levels of development, an adequate supply of jobs is the foundation of sustained and growing prosperity, inclusion and social cohesion. Where jobs are scarce or available livelihoods leave households in poverty there is less growth, less security and less human and economic development.
In the current weak and turbulent international economic environment, job creation is the most pressing global development priority. As the United Nations and the global community debate the development agenda for the coming decades, jobs should take centre stage.
The desire for employment and livelihoods with rising incomes, dignity and respect is a development goal that speaks directly to people all over the globe. Work by the ILO and others over recent years demonstrates that policy decisions can have real impact on its achievement and that it is a goal that can be measured.
The shift to inclusive and sustainable development
Jobs connect people to their society and the economy. Access to safe, productive and fairly remunerated work – as a wage employee or as an own-account worker – is a key vehicle for individuals and families to gain self-esteem, a sense of belonging to a community and a way to make a productive contribution. A shift to inclusive and sustainable development will not be possible if millions of people are denied the opportunity to earn their living in conditions of equity and dignity.
Experience shows that economic growth alone is not sufficient. The strong pre-crisis economic growth of recent decades was not adequate to ensure strong employment creation and inclusive economic results. The challenge of job creation will remain well beyond 2015. Near-term growth is slowing and many large economies are faced with the prospects of a low-growth path for the foreseeable future. The negative effects of slow and unpredictable economic growth on employment, moreover, will be compounded by structural trends.
Achieving full and productive employment and decent work for all was one of the targets to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty under the Millennium Development Goals. However, due to the confluence of crises of the past years – financial, food, fuel and environmental – most countries have moved further away from full employment and progress in eradicating poverty is uncertain and uneven.
About 45–50 million new jobs will be needed each year over the next ten years just to keep up with the growth of the world's working-age population and reduce the unemployment caused by the crisis. At the same time, a wave of technological innovation is altering the capacity of modern manufacturing and service activities to generate jobs. Widening inequalities in income and opportunity within and across countries are weakening the social and political fabric of our societies, fuelling a downward cycle of economic, political and social uncertainty.
Climate change mitigation and adaptation also will entail a process of structural change towards the use of renewable energies, climate-friendly technologies and more sustainable modes of production and consumption. In this process, there will be losers and winners in employment and livelihoods, with already vulnerable populations at greatest risk. New market opportunities will arise from the promotion of sustainable development, leading to new jobs and incomes, but in the losing sectors, adjustment costs and resistance will be high if alternative jobs are scarce.
In sum, setting the route toward inclusive, equitable and sustainable development must be anchored in jobs.
A jobs-centred development agenda
What policies can maximize the generation of productive and decent jobs? A look at the experience of countries that have made significant progress – for instance in Asia and Latin America – provides important evidence based policy guidance. Countries that achieved major job creation and poverty alleviation addressed the structural factors underlying poverty and underemployment. Policies included extensive social protection with active support to the diversification of their economies, inclusive access to finance and employment-friendly macroeconomic policies that fostered both investment and consumption.
Similar policies were the critical ingredients of the short-term response to the global financial and economic crisis, with well-designed social protection systems playing a leading role in enhancing resilience, stabilizing aggregate demand and protecting the most vulnerable groups. Those policies also strengthen the capacity of countries to develop over the long term.
Other core elements of success included stable and sound government institutions committed to the rule of law, human rights, property rights and a benign environment for starting and growing businesses. Labour market policies and institutions such as minimum wages and employment protection legislation have been key ingredients in ensuring that the benefits of development are widely distributed and workers' rights are protected. In some cases, a strategy to integrate workers into a formal system of benefits and taxes, combined with transfers to boost incomes and the purchasing power of the poorest, has created virtuous, self-reinforcing patterns of increased consumption and increased production, paving the way to a gradual transition out of the informal economy.
The value of a global framework
As the external economic environment becomes less stable and supportive, progress rests increasingly on domestic policies that foster job-friendly and poverty-reducing growth. While the specific circumstances, priorities and needs of each country differ, employment and livelihood objectives should be core objectives of all national development strategies, with ample space left to national policy design and adaptation.
What is the value added of integrating those objectives into a new global framework?
It would mobilize international development assistance. Low-income countries need support for the investments in infrastructure that create jobs in the short-run and in skills and innovation that would raise workers' productivity and income over the medium term. Development assistance could help kickstart nascent efforts to establish nationally defined social protection floors and launch labour market programmes to address the special needs of women, youth and vulnerable people.
Knowledge assistance would be as important as hard financial support, if not more. For example sharing of successful practices in mobilizing domestic resources for development and proper understanding of the impact of fiscal multipliers on domestic demand and jobs could avoid pitfalls and accelerate progress.
It would focus attention on the promotion of systems of governance that ensure fairness and equal opportunity and safeguard human and workers' rights.
Most importantly, it would make a difference in the lives of people in all regions.
The spillovers in terms of a balanced and stable growth in global consumer demand, decreasing in-country inequality and enhanced stability, security and peace would be felt the world over.
Setting goals and monitoring progress
One lesson from the MDGs is that simple and concrete goals make it easier to mobilize public support and that clear numerical targets are a good way to push for delivery and transparent monitoring of progress.
The following overarching jobs and livelihoods goal would be appropriate and realistic:
Upgrade the objective of full and productive employment and decent work as a central goal of the post-2015 development agenda.
This objective was added to the MDGs in 2005 as one of the targets of the first MDG goal, to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Setting it as a full and explicit goal and target will command greater attention to this critical need. It should come with agreed parameters to help national stakeholders define targets adapted to the circumstances and needs of their countries, within the overall framework of equality, sustainability and human rights. National targets should provide indicators to address the key components relevant to different national contexts: the special needs of women, youth and vulnerable groups, the weight of agriculture and informality.
This goal should be supported through the implementation of social protection floors for poverty reduction and resilience.
Recent years have seen a breakthrough consensus on the need to invest in social protection floors to move towards universal access to a basic set of guarantees of income security and social protection. Progress in introducing national floors could be measured concretely, encompassing access to health care and pensions, expanding protection against the risks of unemployment and disability and protection against the special livelihood vulnerabilities of women and the elderly.
A separate and important lesson from the MDGs is that progress towards inclusive, equitable and sustainable development requires a process of regular dialogue and negotiation. Ensuring the participation and commitment of stakeholders from governments, parliamentarians and local authorities, the private sector, trade unions, civil society and academia is critical to make the process as inclusive, transparent and effective as possible.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk – The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was really a question of when, not in the event: you did not simply mount a 707-hp supercharged V8 and then not put it in any number of your vehicles as could reasonably be expected, especially when the gas is this poor quality. You don't care that a comfortable SUV is generally not the main thing we would like to consider taking to the nearby drag strip; If the last execution of the SRT articles Hellcat-prepared is anything to go through (and if the demon satisfies desires), it, however not realistically, will realize exactly as the people Mopr says it would do it.
Outwardly, the Trackhawk is a little more controlled than you may have expected, however-as with the Challenger and the loader Hellcats-any fan should have the ability to say what they are taking a look from twelve steps. The Trackhawk sits a lower inch than a Grand Cherokee standard-number (there are still up to 8.1 land freedom tows) and rides on the new 20-inch wheels, which hide themselves behind the body-shaded wheel flares. You will have the ability to climb to the lightweight fashionable aluminum rims, which saves a expressed 12 lbs by and large. The elastic options include the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All-season and Pirelli P Zero tyres from three seasons.
There are "supercharged" IDs on the front entrances and an identification of "Trackhawk" at the rear end. In any case, the larger tipoffs are likely the missing fog lights on the front-they have been evacuated to allow the pipe to cool the air in the engine compartment-and the weakened quadruple tips facing out behind a dark bottom valance in the last part.
The genuine differentiator is the creature of an engine under the ventilated hood: the 707 (expressed) HP supercharged 6.2-liter we have come to know and love in the loader and challenger Hellcats. Associated with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it is down in torque in this application (645 lb-ft to 650 lb-ft), however, there is sufficient constrained acceptance to push to send the Trackhawk of 0-60 at 3.5-y, tell us, nail a 11.6-second quarter of a mile to 116 mph of the merchant part.
The Pirelli tyres mentioned above surely help to put all the energy of the Trackhawk on the ground, but at the same time there is a range of driving modes that cut their performance: despite auto, tow and snow modes, they juggle foot control and front/elevate the torque division configuration, there is game and track. The previous transmission of the drops moves the time 50 percent over auto mode, it solidifies the suspension and sends 65 percent of torque to the rear wheels, while the last drops move 68 percent of the time, keys the suspension to its firmest fit and sends 70 percent backward torque.
To support everything, the Trackhawk gets 15.75 inches Brembo ventilated brakes with six-cylinder calipers in advance-the largest standard front brakes at any point offered in a Jeep, as indicated by the producer; There are 13.78 inch ventilated rotors with four-cylinder backward gauges. You will have the ability to reduce from 60 mph to a stop at 114 feet.
Your Demon SRT Dodge Challenger will consume race GasNEW York auto Show your Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will consume the race GasWith the New York automobile Fair only half a month away, Dodge is starting to get short on things to say in regard to his demon SRT Dodge Challenger. All things considered, the organization is running short on things to assert that .
From Porsches to Range Rovers, there is no failure to run SUVs located for the Trackhawk to chase and eat; It certainly has the speed on its side (take care of the stays to be seen) and its pleasantly trimmed in the interior, all with a level base of the steering wheel, must allow it to stand firm against the field of unadulterated extravagance. About the main thing that will not have the ability to touch the extent to which it refers to the underlying rate of increase is a ridiculous mode model Tesla prepared X, however, we will recognize that as a sensible give up what should be a twisted V8 exhaust note.

One of the skills my very beautiful and very talented mother taught me was how to sew. I grew up sewing prom dresses and curtains alike (yeah we were poor). Have I mentioned that I dislike sewing? Well, I REALLY do and this last project has just reminded me of that. I guess if someone is offering me a sizable amount of money I can push past my extreme dislike for a few hours.
Due to my love-loss, I chose not to make a tutorial for these slip covers. If you are really interested in learning how, email me and I'm sure I could help you.
Recognize the chairs? They are the french twins I posted last weekend (see here). The lovely lady who commissioned the chairs also bribed me into sewing the slipcovers.
I'm not really and "bow and ruffle" kind of girl, but I do love the detail they give the seat.
What do you think? French and feminine?
you did a beautiful job on the chairs. I like the brown with the aged down white. a truly lovely job.
So pretty, what a super job!

The remnants of 'old school' Exponent are numbered...meaning very soon we'll no longer be strapped to the modules, subsystems, etc... of Exponent 0.9x that were necessary to get Exponent 2.0 up and flying. For the most part, we've been able to disguise the great differences between the 0.9x coding architecture and the 2.x MVC coding architecture. This was done by updating some of the old school (0.9x) module admin interfaces to look (and act?) similar to the 2.x modules. However this was done at some (resource) cost, and the complexity of having to deal with two different animals. Therefore we'll modify our release and development strategies to best accommodate existing installations, yet not restrict such a bold move into the future! What follows are some notes to Administrators/Designers and another set to Developers about how this will occur.
For Administrators/Designers - Putting out less-than-stable code for the upgrade of a production server is NOT what any administrator or user would expect, nor want to hear. However, moving to a fully updated 2.0 system (no old school code) would likely temporarily disable some sites, and may diminish the stability of a running site. That is, until some custom features (like a theme?) are upgraded on that site. So how can we maintain stability (a stable code release line), yet vastly change the way things work (implement a major change without stagnating the release flow)? By moving to a parallel release/development strategy!
Well the answer is to have both a stable release line (v2.1.x) and an unstable pre-release line (v2.2.x) running simultaneously. In some respects, we already do this with the stable release ('master' branch of the git code repo) and the working development code ('develop' branch of the git code repo). The BIG departure will be that unlike the 'develop' branch which is updated moment by moment and may be broken at times, the 'unstable' release will only be created as needed and should be a working set of code. Therefore, when you see v2.1.1 hit the street in the near future, you can expect the release of v2.2.0-alpha1 almost simultaneously. Any changes made to the v2.1.x line will also appear in the v2.2.x code, so if there are any future updates to the v2.0/2.1 line, it'll already be in the v2.2 code. Then once v2.2 becomes stable, the v2.0/2.1 line would only receive critical patch updates, with the intent being a move to the v2.2 line.
This strategy should allow for the stability needed by most production sites, and yet allow (early) access to new features in a somewhat less than 'bleeding edge' manner. For all intents and purposes, v2.2.0-alpha1 should be fully functional, but will NOT have been tested under many scenarios.
For Developers - Most of the changes will affect how we develop and release software updates, but primarily how we manage code branches. Though these won't be much different from how we've been managing code using the Git-Flow paradigm. For the most part, 'master' will (always) still be the most recent stable release. 'Develop' will still be the primary place for code updates to the stable release...in this case prep for a possible v2.1.2, but NOT the move to Twitter-Bootstrap, nor the Container 2.0 changes.
develop = changes/updates slated for the next stable release (currently v2.1.1 pre-release). It will hold any changes planned/needed for the v2.1 (2.0) line.
feature/container2 = work on the next major release v2.2.0, updated from 'develop' regularly. Will exist until AFTER v2.2.0 stable is released. At that point, 'master' would then hold v2.2.0 stable (the most recent stable release at that time), and all code work would move to the 'develop' branch. This branch can be thought of as the develop branch for v2.2.0 until it is stable.
hotfix = fixes need for the most recent stable release. Any work here wil1 eventually becomes a patch release to the current stable release. 'develop' is updated from this temporary branch. We will automatically create a 'hotfix' branch once v2.1.1 is released to hold any fixes that need to be applied to v2.1.1.
unstable = snapshot of 'feature/container2' at time of most recent unstable release, which is a substitute for pulling from the repo using a tag like 'v2.2.0-alpha1' or 'v2.2.0-beta1' This makes it easier to update/test on a site using git pull instead of the unstable package release.
So, if you want the most recent stable release, you'd pull from the master branch. If you want the most recent unstable release (alpha, beta, release candidate, etc...), you'd pull from the 'unstable' branch. If you want the pre-release of the next stable version, you'd pull from the 'develop' branch. And if you want the bleeding edge code, you'd pull from the 'feature/container2' branch.
For the most part this is a tried and true approach. It only seems new, because we didn't have a stable branch to deal with when we were working toward the first stable release of v2.0.0 . Most likely things will work there way back to how we operate now once v.2.2.0 is released as stable.

Inheritance is never easy
Just ask the one who goes through the ordeal
By Preeti John
Credit: Twitter
By Prabhat Sinha
Many in the world envy those who inherit a business empire. They deridingly call it being born with a golden spoon.
But ask the one who goes through the ordeal. To take charge when the father or uncle remains actively engaged in the business. Worse, when they have tall reputations. Worse still when the grandfather is a legend, revered as an industry giant.
Perhaps the young inheritor has just graduated from college, is beaming with new ideas and a fresh outlook, ready to take charge. But in the boardroom, they could be just another intern. The top executives would rather counsel with the more experienced elders on serious matters, retirement be damned. His peer group or the younger lot will never see him as a colleague.
The young inheritor is expected to be a silent observer. Instead of trying new things, perhaps they are told about the tried-and-tested practices.
The coronation must wait until the grooming is complete.
The raw energy slowly gives way to a steady pace. The many ideas and suggestions must be replaced with patience, observation, open eyes and ears.
Perhaps the young inheritor has a natural flair for one stream (finance, sale, production). But aren't they a businessman to manage the whole?
The young inheritor is encouraged to mingle with business associates, to learn from their experiences. How else will the parents be confident of the young one's abilities?
Oh, what a waste of young entrepreneurial talent! Couldn't the young blood have been put to more enterprising use than the generations before?
There ought to be a middle ground, some solution, for these empires not to lose out on the young talent. Transform, change, apply, modify.
For that to truly happen, there ought to be role between the fading and the upcoming. And it ought to be carved strategically.
Perhaps an outsider is needed to bridge the gap and bring together the diverse perspectives of the new and old guard. Perhaps this can help businesses adapt to the changing times. Such a role ought to be filled, by an executive within the company, a friend, an advisor, or even a family member who is not the inheritor.
Prabhat Sinha is an established business leader, as well as a speaker, writer, blogger, success coach and mentor.

A bass player, or bassist is a musician who plays a bass instrument such as a double bass, bass guitar, keyboard bass or a low brass instrument such as a tuba or sousaphone. Different musical genres tend to be associated with one or more of these instruments. Since the 1960s, the electric bass is the standard bass instrument for rock and roll, jazz fusion (and occasionally other forms of jazz), heavy metal, country, reggae and pop music. The double bass is the standard bass instrument for classical music, bluegrass, and Swing-era and Bebop-era jazz. Low brass instruments such as the tuba or sousaphone are the standard bass instrument in Dixieland and New Orleans-style jazz bands. Despite the associations of different bass instruments with certain genres, there are exceptions. Some 1990s and 2000s rock and pop bands use a double bass, such as Barenaked Ladies, Indie band The Decemberists, and punk rock/psychobilly groups such as The Living End, Nekromantix, The Horrorpops, and Tiger Army. Some fusion jazz groups use a lightweight, stripped-down electric upright bass rather than a double bass.
Rodney Slatford
Rodney Slatford (b. 18 July 1944) is an English contemporary double bass player and teacher (especially of young children). He was the principal bass player of the Midland Sinfonia, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and English Chamber Orchestra, a founder of the Nash Ensemble, and has been a principal player in other early music ensembles. He is also a publisher of sheet music for double bass. He had studied with Adrian Beers and wrote his obituary in The Independent.

Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass
Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer and Rush bassist Geddy Lee celebrates rock music's thunderous, rumbly bottom end-the bass-in this unique, lavishly illustrated, full-color compendium showcasing over two hundred rare, iconic, beautiful, and sometimes eccentric bass guitars from his extensive collection.In this luxurious keepsake volume, Geddy Lee chronicles the fascinating history of one of rock music's foundation instruments, the bass guitar. Written with arts journalist Daniel Richler, gorgeously photographed by Richard Sibbals, and with insight from Geddy's trusted bass tech and curator, John "Skully" McIntosh, Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass profiles over two hundred classic basses from Geddy's extensive collection. The book combines knowledge and observations gleaned from Geddy's long, successful career with new and behind-the-scenes photos, ranging from his earliest days to Rush's sold-out 40th anniversary tour in 2015, plus personal interviews with some of the world's top bassists and collectors.A musician and guitar freak, Geddy has acquired the magnificent bass models that have been the backbone of the world's greatest popular music, from greats such as Paul McCartney, John Entwistle, and Jack Bruce. The book features vintage basses from 1950 through the mid-1970s-the golden age of guitar making.Suffused with Geddy's intelligence, taste, and disarming wit, Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass is also an entertaining look at a legend's career on stage, in the studio, and at home. Geddy shares his views of the role of the bass guitar in his life and in the lives of the great players who've influenced him, revealing his passions and motivations, and ultimately broadening fans' appreciation of his beloved instrument.
Xample
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xample is British drum and bass producer and DJ Gavin Harris, who originates from Bristol. He has been releasing records since 2003. In June 2007, he scored a number 1 on the UK Dance Chart with his track "Lowdown". He has been compared to the likes of Noisia, Dillinja and Cyantific. Drum and bass (commonly abbreviated to D&B or DnB) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160 190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass, sub-bass lines, and occasional infra-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s.
