This authentic Gucci Beige Shopping Tote with Bow Charm is stunning! It feature Gucci signature monogram canvas with leather trimmings for the bottom and the handle straps. It is an amazing everyday bag because of its versatility, stylish for any occasion. The interior is large and has an extra zipper compartment.


Lantern acquired in April 2009.
Thanks to Richard James of Harrison Lighting for providing this unused lantern.
The lantern is very similar to the newer AC850, although the bowl on this lantern is more curved, and the lantern itself is very slightly larger.
The 'Fordac' lettering is displayed in the centre of the canopy. I do not know why AC Ford used this brand at the time when this lantern was produced.
The bowl appears slightly distorted within the fixing ring - this is due to the internal clamps pressing down on specific parts of the bowl.
As with the newer versions, the supply cable passes underneath the control gear compartment and into the lantern. Unusually, the side-entry spigot is internally threaded to 1′′ BSP.
A Thorn AME 53162.4 ballast and BICC capacitor (dating from December 1973) are installed in the gear compartment.
The lantern was fitted with a lamp, and attached to a wall bracket on Friday, 6th July 2018.
The bracket end was threaded to 1′′ BSP specially, in order to accommodate this lantern.
It may have been 45 years old, but when it was powered up, the control gear operated the lamp quite happily.
The lamp's elliptical shape was still obvious with the bowl fastened.

INTERVIEW/COMPETITION – ROYAL BLOOD: "WE FELT A KNIFE IN OUR BACK MAKING THE SECOND ALBUM" MIKE KERR
Posted on June 14, 2021 by Oran
Royal Blood have returned with their new album 'Typhoons' in a busy haze of meaty, bass hooks, driving percussion, and laced with electronic overtones that people just can't get enough of. Singer/bassist Mike Kerr checked in with Overdrive to talk about the new album and his new outlook on life after their bullet train meteoric rise to stardom over the last 5 years…
Clocking in at Number One in the UK and Ireland upon its release, Royal Blood's third studio offering 'Typhoons' has taken the band to a more established bunker in the ever-changing music industry.
Vocalist/Bassist, Mike Kerr is very much a different man these days and seems to be enjoying the success of the bands', short, but hectic legacy which saw them rise from obscurity to a global platform almost overnight.
We talk about the new album, the pressure of delivering their aptly-titled previous album 'How Did We Get So Dark', the evolution of the bands' sound and much more…
OD – Album number three is finally released and takes the existing Royal Blood sound even further with the introduction of a hybrid of electronic/disco-style alternative arrangements that work so well. I can't imagine fusing elements of genres together like that is as easy as it sounds. Did you find it a little grueling at times?
MIKE – I think in order to get to that point, we really had to get very experimental with things all the while finding out where we could take the overall sound, without repeating ourselves, or losing our sound. In short, we tried to keep the true essence of what Royal Blood is, yet take things in a more adventurous direction.
With regards to the more electronic elements on the album, it wasn't something that we sat down and agreed upon. I would say it took about a year for us to land on that element, and that's from just experimenting, and pushing ideas, as far as we could while keeping the overall structure, and feel of our sound intact.
OD – Was there one particular song that locked in the overall sound/direction on the album?
MIKE – Yes, in fact, it was 'Trouble's Coming'. That track kind of locked in the overall DNA of the entire album.
OD -Although the album sounds and feels very innovative, would you agree that the live version of the tracks, takes on a whole different element?
MIKE – Yeah, I think that all of our songs… we always have the live experience in mind when we're writing. Going on tour with this album, especially when understanding what the world has been going through recently… I think 'Typhoons' is such a party album.
It really has a synchronize with the kind of show that everybody wants to go back to. I can't wait to get out there and perform these new songs.
OD – You had said in the past that when you put out 'How Did We Get So Dark?', you knew that people were waiting to hear it and I'm sure that adds a little dynamic that can cause some pressure. With this album, did you find that you were far more relaxed?
Am Photo Star © www.overdrive.ie 2021. All Rights Reserved
MIKE – Yeah, it was. Having survived that second record and the touring we did after that album… we felt that we had established ourselves somewhat. I don't think we played to the gallery on the second album, but we definitely felt a knife in our back the whole time we were making it, and that's not a good thing to feel from any creative standpoint.
So, this time around it was a lot more relaxed and we just let our creativity flow and it was a noticeably different experience. We produced the album ourselves and could do exactly what the fuck we wanted.
OD – Everything about 'Typhoons' is a far more joyous experience and I can only assume that's where you both were coming from. When you look back at the previous album, does it seem kind of night and day, especially when it comes to the overall approach?
MIKE – Yeah, it does. I hardly recognise the person who was making our debut and the second album. It's really about getting the experience of writing songs. I have written so many songs over the years, now.
Looking back, our first record was our first step forward as a band and we didn't have any room to make mistakes and as we all know, making mistakes is how you learn to get things right. This time around, we were much more experienced songwriters, artists and just had a greater sense of identity.
OD – You have spoken about the mental and physical place you were in towards the end of the last album tour cycle. With regards to discovering a side to you that you didn't know existed, do you now feel that you've conquered how you digest the outcome of being in the public eye more so now?
MIKE – I do, yeah. Any kind of scrutiny or negativity, I just take as a symptom of success. Every band gets to that point where people fucking hate them and that is when you can tell that most bands are actually doing well! [Laughing]
Having said that, we've not really experienced that level of trolling. We kind of anticipated that we may have gotten some backlash on this album because we made something for ourselves and to be honest, so far, so good. The reaction has been really great. When we put these songs out, about 95% of people were on board with it all, and that kind of caught us off guard.
OD – Royal Blood have been a name that is used to tick the 'Rock' box in today's contemporary musical climate. Does that irritate you as the very labeling of that is pressure in itself?
MIKE – Yeah, it's a fairly ignorant analysis of an entire genre. We have done well for ourselves but we are not the antithesis of the entire genre. There are so many bands' I know what have had a number one record and get pretty much no coverage. The mainstream has a very stale outlook on the genre as a whole and it's really their loss as there is so much going on with so many incredible bands' pushing the envelope, and discovering new sub-genres, etc.
OD – What is your opinion on the issues that mainstream have with Rock/guitar-based music have at the moment, as the focus seems to be very much on Urban/Electronic and the genre as a whole is not getting fair exposure?
MIKE – I'm really excited about the prospect of getting back on the road. When we started rehearsing again, it was a really weird experience. [Laughing] The new songs are very complex and it took a while to get back into the swing of things, but we're finally there now.
OD – How many people are now involved with Royal Blood's live show now?
MIKE – The live show will see three of us on stage. We have a wizard keyboard player who just completes our sound and gives it the extra push we need for the live experience.
OD – Was there a lot of extra material from the writing sessions to the album that is still in the picture for future stuff or do you tend to start writing new stuff with a 'clean slate' so, to speak?
MIKE – Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff. Probably one or two things that I'm really excited about. But, from past experiences, I never really take old ideas to the finish line and tend to start fresh when working on new ideas, but I have to say there's one riff I'm working on now that may just be the best riff I've ever written [Laughing].
It came right at the last minute towards the end of this album writing cycle so, it didn't make the cut but if anything, it's that good, it will be the catalyst for the next album. I'm really excited about it.
OD – New album track you're most excited about performing live?
MIKE -I would have to say 'Mad Visions' because it's just so different from anything we've ever made and it's just gonna ignite the crowd into one huge party. It's like a celebration of sorts…
OD – What is the first album you remember as a child being interested in?
MIKE – I think it was 'Help' [The Beatles, 1965]. It was one of the first albums that really caught my attention with regards to being a cohesive body of work. Prior to that my previous purchases were' The Best of the Beach Boys', and 'The Best of Queen' [Laughing]
I had never really experienced a concept, or body of work like 'Help' before and it really had a profound effect on me when I was around nine, or ten years of age.
Royal Blood's new album 'Typhoons' is out NOW. The band will be returning to Ireland as part of their upcoming live dates and Overdrive are giving away 3 pairs of passes and CD copies of the new album. All you have to do is:
1: Share this post on your socials
2: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook
3: Tag the friends you wish to bring to the show

Q: Energy consumption when cell phone charger connected to socket but not to phone When my cell phone is charged fully, it says 'Please remove charger from wall socket to save energy'. How am I wasting energy if the charger is connected to the socket but the phone is not connected? I thought you only consume energy when you connect the phone.

A: It's similar to how your TV 'off', but somehow is ready to respond to your remote control at a moments notice.  Well, that means something is actually 'on'.  Not a huge something, but something nonetheless.  It's the same for the charger.  There are components to assist with the charging that need to be ready when your phone is plugged it.  A voltage regulator, for instance, to regulate the charge voltage.  Many of these draw power even when doing 'nothing' (they are essentially always powering themselves even if they're powering nothing else). That means the device isn't 'off', but instead in standby - waiting and drawing power. Advances in electronics have helped us limit the amount of power required for these standby modes (it's orders of magnitude less than the amount of power used for charging) but it will never be zero for the simple fact that when you plug in your phone you expect it to start charging.
If you're concerned about this, you can get something like this.  Its a power strip with a hard switch for every outlet.  If you don't want your charger to draw power when your phone isn't plugged in just flip the switch off - it will draw zero power.  When you want to charge your phone, plug it in and flip the switch on.  I can pretty much guarantee you you'll forget to flip the switch one night and end up with an uncharged phone in the morning.  At some point the standby from leaving the charger plugged in is worth it.

A: With no phone/device attached to a charger, it is still possible for the charger to consume some energy. How much energy is dependent on what exactly is inside the charger.
The simplest charger could potentially be a transformer and a linear regulator. In this case, the transformer would step down the wall voltage and the linear regulator will pump out a relatively solid voltage to charge your device. In this case, the charger itself is always drawing some energy. A linear regulator converts voltages, say 9V to 5V, and dissipates the rest of the power as heat. As a result linear regulators can be fairly inefficient. The upside however, is that they are generally much cheaper than most alternatives. A simple rule here would be that if the charger is warm to the touch with no phone/device attached, you're wasting energy.
Charger technologies have certainly changed and adapted, especially with the growing concern for being green. As a result, many manufacturers have opted for more energy efficient means of charging devices. The message you receive from your cell phone telling you that it is fully charged is an example. Modern devices are usually smart enough to limit their power consumption once they are fully charged.
All that said, your charger is likely fine to remain plugged in without a device attached. If you want to be sure you can purchase something like the Kill A Watt to test your charger. There are also various articles and experiments that have tested this idea out:
From Slate another site and another

A:
When my cell phone is charged fully, it says 'Please remove charger from wall socket to save energy'. How am I wasting energy if the charger is connected to the socket but the phone is not connected? I thought you only consume energy when you connect the phone.

This "feature" has annoyed me for some while as
 the message is liable to be untrue and if followed is liable to incur slight extra cost to the user and to society overall.
This answer is thus more detailed than it might otherwise be as it gives me a chance to 'rail on' about such stupidities :-).
This message indicates 'a lack of capability' and/or 'unclear thinking' on the part of the system designer and also may be due to ulterior motives that they'd rather not state due to potential liability issues.
It is possible to build a cellphone charger that draws so little power either from the mains or from the cellphone battery as to be wholly irrelevant.
 All that is requred is to monitor the cellphone battery voltage (which is almost always LiIon (Lithium Ion) and detect whether the voltage indicates the battery is fully charged. If necessary the charger could test for full charge say once a minute or even once every two minutes.
Costs more overall:  Quick back-of-invisible-envelope calculation suggests that you could do this with a few cents worth of mains electricity per year. Saving that by unplugging the phone would assist the "green" power drive but would also  lead to more losses overall in recharge power efficiency losses and in extra wear on the battery.
Worse still, the phones that I have seen, and possibly most phones that give this message, do so even if the phone is turned on an in receive mode. This means that the power for the receiver, which could be supplied from the mains at low energy cost per unit, is instead supplied by the battery. This adds to battery cycling thus (slightly) reducing battery lifetime, means the phone has slightly less battery capacity available when you next want to use it away from the charger and takes more energy to recharge again that it would have required to leave it plugged in, due to overall charge-discharge energy inefficiencies compared to charger to phone power efficiency.
Liability: Anything plugged into mains has SOME possibility of a mains power incident. Worst case outcome is major catastrophe (fire, death, sky falls in), and lesser ones are charger and/or equipment damage or destruction. If the equipment is well designed and well built the chances of any this happening are vanishingly small. But, a US law suit avoided is $US5 million earned,so if this can be avoided even a few times a year, so much the better. However, saying "unplug charger and or equipment when not strictly necessary to be connected to minimise chances of the sky falling in" is liable to not sit well with the corporate lawyers or bean counters and may increase the chances of being sued, or class action suits being brought by 'Friends of The Sky', or whoever, whereas "Be green, save truly trivial amounts of energy, unplug our badly designed charger NOW" is liable to win them brownie points. Whether this is part of the reasoning in any given case is outside my ability to tell and I offer this as a wholly hypothetical postulate [tm]. [Corporate lawyers and bean counters for large multinational communication conglomerates please note just prior disclaimer].

Pei Wei units still closed after raids
Chain working to hire replacement staff after arrest of 26 workers over ID theft
Ron Ruggless | Mar 22, 2011
Several Pei Wei Asian Diner restaurants in the Phoenix area remained closed Monday, more than two weeks after the arrest of 26 workers in an ID-theft investigation.
A spokeswoman for P.F. Chang's China Bistro Inc., which owns the 168-unit fast-casual Pei Wei brand, said the company hoped to have the units open by the end of this week as it worked to hire and train replacement staff.
Maricopa County, Ariz., sheriff's deputies arrested the Pei Wei workers in raids on four restaurants and P.F. Chang's corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz. The workers had apparently used false identities when they applied for their jobs at the chain.
The Arizona raids made Pei Wei the second restaurant chain this year to have its workers investigated. Earlier, Chipotle Mexican Grill let go of many of its employees in Minnesota following sweeps by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The ICE's investigation of Chipotle was later expanded to Virginia and the District of Columbia.
EARLIER: Chains face more scrutiny over illegal hires
Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold said Monday that none of the chain's units was closed by the investigations.
Under the Legal Arizona Workers Act that into effect in 2008, employers in the state are required to check worker documents through the federal E-verify program.
Nancy Mailhot, Pei Wei's chief people officer, said earlier this month that "E-verify helps but unfortunately it is not fool-proof or fraud-proof." Pei Wei's Mailhot said the chain also uses its 401(k) retirement plan vendor to help assure proper documentation.

DISCOUNTED long-stay parking spaces for new businesses at North Main Street car park are fully subscribed and City Council has no plans to add more.
The spaces were introduced in 2016 as part of measures to draw more businesses and footfall into the area.
Councillor Henry Cremin (SF) said the councillors should be made aware of when spaces become available.
"This has come up from a request from people that are working for voluntary organisations. However, it's capped at a certain amount of parking spaces and there's a waiting list for people to have those reserved. As soon as spaces become available, we should be told," he added.
Seán Martin (FF) has repeatedly asked City Council to upgrade North Main Street car park and ensure it is fully utilised.
A report from the council's roads directorate stated that a limited number of long term parking spaces were introduced in 2016 and these are currently subscribed. There are no further available spaces at this time.
Director of roads Gerry O'Beirne said activity at the car park has improved.
"There are 80 spaces provided and they were taken up reasonably quickly. Since then, car park activity increased quite significantly so we wouldn't be looking to increase the number of long-stay spaces because we need to have a certain amount of short-term parking. If any more long-term spaces come up, we will speak to members," he added.

Rolls-Royce Signs MOU to Test SAF
Rolls-Royce signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Alder Fuels, a clean tech developer and green crude producer to test Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as it makes the next step on its journey to commercial scalability.
The SAF, which has been produced based on Alder Fuels' proprietary greencrude technology, is being readied for global rollout as a drop-in replacement to petroleum-based jet fuel and will be a critical tool for decarbonizing the skies.
The testing, which will include flight tests on a Rolls-Royce Pearl engine, will evaluate the energy efficiency, emissions criteria, and low-carbon credentials of the SAF produced from Alder Greencrude (AGC) and is another testament to Rolls-Royce's ambition to play a fundamental role in enabling the sectors in which it operates achieve net zero carbon by 2050.
"The use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel as a low-emission solution and its global commercial deployment are essential to the decarbonization of medium to long-haul air travel," said Frank Moesta, SVP Strategy & Future Programmes – Business Aviation, Rolls-Royce, in a statement. "While we are also working on electrification, hybrid-electric and hydrogen technologies as long-term alternatives, rapid decarbonization is within reach through this critical pathway. Through our partnership with Alder Fuels, we are taking the next steps on our journey to net zero and are committed supporters of the UN Race to Zero goal of 10% SAF use across aviation by 2030."
Rolls-Royce has previously committed to ensuring all its Trent and Business Aviation engines are compatible with 100% SAF by 2023.

James Devaney
James Devaney (1890-1976)
Outstanding lyricist, much loved man.
No literary figure of the pre-1959 era in Queensland poetry is spoken of more fondly than James Devaney. Few were more influential.
James Devaney was born at Bendigo, Victoria (then officially known as Sandhurst) in 1890. He was mostly educated in Sydney . He became a novice with the Marist Brothers at the age of 14, took his final vows in 1915, and taught in a number of schools in New South Wales, South Australia and New Zealand. He contracted tuberculosis, and frustrated at his superior's refusal to permit its treatment, he resigned from the order and underwent a cure at a sanatorium near Rockhampton.
Devaney's first book of poetry, Fabian, (1923) contains mostly poems written while he was convalescing and shows him wrestling with his religious faith:
'In on the morning tide,
Chance waftage of a dim and desolate shore:
A pause and then – out on the evening tide
To the grey vast, and we are known no more.'
From 'O Heavy tide of Time'.
His faith was not lost for long. Upon his recovery, he earned a living through free lance journalism, and began a long association with the Brisbane Catholic Leader.
Devaney's second book of poems, Earth Kindred (1930) shows an emerging pantheism and an allied sense of connection with the land. He found, in 'Caloundra', a solitude and peace that would be quite foreign to today's readers:
'Here could I make a hermit's quiet home,
And forfeit the loud world of grade and greed.'
By then, however, he had attained some critical fame through the publication of The Vanished Tribes, stories based on Aboriginal lore,in 1929. By the time of the establishment of the Catholic Poetry Society, in 1936, Devaney was probably the best known poet living in Queensland. He was looked up to by both the Jindyworobak movement and by the founders of Meanjin. For a while the poet John Shaw Neilsen lived with Devaney in the early 1940s, and Devaney later edited Shaw Neilsen's unpublished poems. He served as president of the Queensland Authors' and Artist Association in 1944 but found journalistic work hard to come by after the second world war.
Poems (1950), probably stands as Devaney's finest literary achievement, but by the time of its publication he was no longer a real force in literature. Devaney published only one slim book of poems after that time, but he continued to be an important supporter of other poets, most notably the young Kath Walker. He died in Redcliffe in 1976.
His best work is still easily readable today, and he still occasionally features in Anthologies of Australian poetry. His work is formal, influenced by the Georgians, rather than the modernists, and shows a keen ear and a knack for isolating the memorable, evocative, image.
The poems selected for this website show Devaney at his finest. 'Outlines' takes us on his religious journey. 'A Dedication' is a beautiful love poem which hints at the sad circumstances of his marriage and 'Dark Road' is written to his wife after she had suffered a nervous breakdown. A sensational poem. 'Winter Westerlies' is a fine rural poem, where both an understanding of nature and empathy for his fellow man coalesce. Click on the link to the right to read theses poems.

// "Ocean acidification is the evil little brother of global warming"
Interview about the CBD Report
Dr Felix Mark from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research has been studying how ocean acidification impacts fish and other ocean dwellers for five years. For the second ocean acidification report of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) he compiled present-day knowledge together with colleagues from all over the world. In the interview the eco-physiologist talks about what science has accomplished in the past years and what kind of research is still necessary in the coming years.
Dr Mark, when the first CBD report on ocean acidification was published, research was still in its infancy – what progress has it made since then?
The past five years were certainly decisive for ocean acidification research. Prior to that some researchers had investigated rather broad aspects like calcification and growth using very high carbon dioxide concentrations of 3,000 ppm and more, i.e. nearly ten times today's concentration. Only in recent years we have started to work with relevant carbon dioxide concentrations that we expect up to the years 2100 and 2200. We have looked at various life stages of animals such as fish and crustaceans and studied the interrelationships between the individual species so we are beginning to understand how individual species interact under the influence of ocean acidification and what the consequences are when a species disappears from the food web and whether animals can adapt over several generations.
Ocean acidification is only one factor that alters the ocean as a habitat. How can scientists differentiate its influence from other factors, such as temperature rise and oxygen depletion?
Ocean acidification, temperature rise, oxygen depletion and pollution of the seas – these are, of course, all factors that reinforce or weaken one another and jointly have an impact on an ecosystem.
High temperatures, for instance, cause the oxygen concentration of the water to drop. Furthermore, cold-blooded organisms have higher metabolism rates in warm water, as a result of which the oxygen concentration declines further and the carbon dioxide concentration increases. In this case, therefore, there is a combination of three factors that we cannot really look at individually and which together clearly create a different picture than when examined individually.
As scientists, however, we are interested in being able to say what factor has which impact. For this reason the first approach is initially to observe them individually. We have done that in the past years. In the next step we will attempt to combine the various factors in order to observe what synergies exist between them. Does everything always lead to a worsening or do certain factors balance out in the end?
In the laboratory it is only possible to examine individual species. How can scientists put together an overall picture from that and in this way assess how the ocean as a whole will react to ocean acidification?
That's one of the big questions: how can I make conclusions about a community from a single species? Or to put it another way: how many individual species of an ecosystem do I have to examine to be able to say something about the entire system? We are definitely not able to observe 50 percent or even only 30 percent of the species of an ecosystem in experiments. In the next few years, therefore, we will have to work a lot with models that build on experience and the results we have now. In this way we can try to generate an overall picture.

CBD Report on Ocean Acidification
Summary of the current knowledge on ocean acidification
Changes of the sea water chemistry
This dataset has both historic and forecasted model-based changes in the ocean's carbonate chemistry due to increasing CO2 levels, as well as the presence of coral reefs depicted. As atmospheric levels of CO2 increase, the amount of CO2 that is absorbed by the ocean increases as well. This increase of CO2 in the ocean upsets the carbonate chemistry of the ocean and causes the waters to become more corrosive. The images indicate that all of the Southern Ocean surface waters south of 60°S and portions of the North Pacific become undersaturated (corrosive) with respect to aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate.

The question of how the ocean ecosystem as a whole will react to ocean acidification can therefore not be answered conclusively. Does the current CBD report on ocean acidification reveal further gaps in knowledge?
Observations show that current ocean acidification and warming are taking place at a much faster pace that was previously the case in the history of the Earth. The question is therefore whether the animals can hold their own at this speed and adapt fast enough. Thus far we have studied the short-term adaptability of marine organisms. What is crucial now is long-term adaptation.
We want to understand how and whether marine animals are able to adapt via evolutionary processes – and that will be really difficult. We cannot simply observe ten generations of a certain species under laboratory conditions in order to see what changes from generation to generation. The Atlantic cod, for example, reproduces too slowly to be able to do this. That means we have to select a handful of creatures that reproduce rapidly and treat them as model organisms.
However, we can also look at different populations. For instance, we compare a cod population from the southern North Sea, i.e. from the warmest range of the species, to a population from the northern Atlantic, from the fjords of Spitsbergen and the Barents Sea. They are two extreme populations that have adapted to the respective living conditions over evolutionary time scales. If we examine the differences in their physiology, such as their metabolic rates and various fitness factors like their swimming capabilities, we can basically attempt to draw conclusions on how the populations have further developed.
What next steps in ocean acidification research does that mean for the scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute?
At the moment we are in the process of preparing the individual available results in such a way that they can be used in ecosystem models. A question that arises for us in this connection is which is the best model. On the one hand, models have to be as simple as possible so they function well. After all, the more influencing factors they have, the more complex they get and naturally the greater is the deviation of a result if one has incorrectly set an influencing factor somewhere. On the other hand, a model also has to be complex enough to be able to draw reliable conclusions for the future. It thus comes down to identifying the few important influencing factors that a model absolutely must include.

What progress do you expect in ocean acidification research in the next five years?
In the next five years we will certainly not make the same leap in knowledge that we achieved over the past five years. I hope we will be able to say more about how ecosystems will react to declining pH values. For this purpose we will compile the results we have for individual species so as to obtain a more complete picture.
We will also have a more realistic view of the situation since we no longer focus only on certain especially sensitive species. In the past this often led to the impression that ocean acidification will have dramatic impacts. However, that is definitely not the case for all species.
Ocean acidification was frequently called the evil twin of climate warming. Have the current findings made it less frightening?
Ocean acidification is more the evil little brother of climate warming. This is based on our investigations, which indicate that the rising temperature has severe consequences. Ocean acidification is thus an additional effect. It aggravates the impacts of warming in most cases, but not always.
However, acidic water may impact animals in a completely different way from warmer water. It may, for instance, alter the behaviour of an organism.
An important question at the end of the previous CBD report on ocean acidification was the determination of so-called tipping points – has research been able to define these up to now?
Tipping points, or sensitivity levels, as we also call them, are incredibly difficult to formulate because they are extremely species-dependent and diverge between the individual life stages. There is a certain limit, for example around 1,500 ppm, where a reversal of certain effects takes place. There is a phenomenon in this connection known from fish farming: when the pH value drops a little, fish grow significantly better.
We have also ascertained this in laboratory experiments with the Atlantic cod. In fish that we have kept at a carbon dioxide concentration of around 1,000 ppm, i.e. at double to triple the figure compared to today, the declining pH value has a stimulating effect on their growth. This effect reverses if we work with concentrations around 2,000 ppm. The animals then suddenly stop growing. That means the threshold is somewhere between these concentrations. A limit is reached here, as of which the organism can no longer adapt, and it is presumably somewhere between a pH value of 7.8 and 7.6. For egg and larval stages of the same species, however, these limits may be reached much earlier. And there are plenty of other exceptions. Some sea urchins, for example, are unbelievably sensitive and their tipping point is much lower.
And finally there is the question of where the tipping point of an ecosystem is? Up to what point can an ecosystem adapt to a situation where some species disappear and others spread? And as of what point is there a long-term detrimental effect on an ecosystem?
Without being able to indicate a certain figure – do you think the ocean will get to a point where its ecosystem is fundamentally altered?
According to what we are observing at the moment, it looks like we are heading for far-reaching changes. The question is actually, therefore, no longer whether, but when we will reach this threshold. The time factor is incredibly important here since the more time organisms have to adapt, the less will presumably happen in the end. Gradual shifts in the ecosystem are easier to cope with than abrupt changes.
However, we are also aware that some marine regions will change to a greater extent than others. In ecosystems in which key species react sensitively, the consequences will naturally be dramatic. The polar cod, for instance, is a key species for the Arctic ecosystem and our results indicate that it reacts relatively sensitively to the new living conditions. Thus, the structure of the ecosystem in the Arctic may shift substantially.

Q: Django AuthenticationForm required fields I need to add required class to a div element to render the fields of AuthenticationForm. But for a reason I can't understand, inside the template, form.password.required does not evaluate to True:

 {{ form.password.label_tag }}
 {{ form.password }}

Problem is, when I instantiate a form manually
>>> from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm
>>> f = AuthenticationForm(None, {"password": "foo", "username":"bar"})
>>> f.is_valid()
>>> f.fields["password"].required # is true

Why isn't it true in the template ?

A: form.password gives you a BoundField and not the password field itself, you need to use the field attribute of that BoundField to access the field and it's attributes

A third of UK workers would take a pay cut to work from home permanently

Over a third of UK workers (35%) would be willing to accept a pay cut in exchange for permanent remote working, new research by job site Reed has found.
Almost one in five workers (19%) said they felt their employer was not flexible enough when it came to working from home, according to the survey of 2,000 UK employees.
A total of 36% of employees said they believe their employer is not providing a fair balance between remote and office working.
Of this, 17% of respondents said their employer is too flexible, implying that some workers want to be in the office more than is currently being offered to them and demonstrating the challenges employers face in finding the right balance between working from home and coming into the workplace.
Almost a third (32%) of younger workers aged between 18 and 34 want more office-based working compared to less than one in 10 (8%) employees over the age of 45.

In August, chancellor Rishi Sunak said young people would help their careers by working in the office and that they risked missing out on building skills and work relationships if they worked from home.
Sunak worked in finance, including at banking giant Goldman Sachs (GS). He said he still maintained relationships with his early mentors.
"I doubt I would have had those strong relationships if I was doing my summer internship or my first bit of my career over Teams and Zoom.
"That's why I think for young people in particular, being able to physically be in an office is valuable."
Men (21%) are more likely than women (12%) to feel that their employer is too flexible, according to the survey.
This comes as Bank of England policy maker Catherine Mann warned that women who work from home may suffer in their careers, as online communication cannot replicate the spontaneous office conversations that are important for recognition and advancement in many workplaces.
Read more: Work from home may damage women's careers, says BoE policymaker
Mann pointed to difficulty accessing childcare and COVID-related disruption to schooling as reasons why many women were continuing to work from home, while men returned to the office.
"There is the potential for two tracks. There's the people who are on the virtual track and people who are on a physical track. And I do worry that we will see those two tracks develop, and we will pretty much know who's going to be on which track, unfortunately," she said.
Flexible working is creating further tensions in the workplace when it comes to wages and career opportunities. Over a quarter (26%) of survey respondents felt that full-time office-based employees should be paid more than those working remotely full-time.
Almost a quarter (23%) said that staff who were in the office full-time should be prioritised for promotion over those working from home full-time, while over a third (37%) thought that workers in the office should receive more perks than full-time remote workers.
Simon Wingate, managing director of Reed.co.uk, said: "Since the start of the pandemic, we've seen a variety of businesses across a range of sectors offer different approaches to flexible and remote working. Some companies are still hesitant to fully commit to post-pandemic flexible working, while others have embraced it. With so much change still happening, it may take more time for companies to find the right arrangement that works for their business and employees.
"While flexible working can seem like an impossible challenge to get right, the key thing is to ensure employees have a certain level of choice and autonomy over how, when and where they spend their working day — keeping in mind the fact that what works for one group of people won't necessarily work for another.
"In a competitive labour market, businesses must think creatively and listen carefully to their staff to provide a tailored approach that works on both an individual and collective level. This will help to improve their chances of attracting and retaining the best talent."

The Red Sox have dealt left-handed reliever Rich Hill to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations. The Milton, Massachusetts native was signed to a minor league contract before the 2014 season and had been pitching for Triple-A Pawtucket. The Angels have purchased Hill's contract and added him to the 25-man active roster.
The 34-year old Hill appeared in 40 major league games with the Red Sox between 2010 and 2012, posting a 1.17 ERA in 31 2/3 innings. He seemed to have solidified his niche in the 2012 bullpen, appearing in 25 games, before a torn left elbow necessitated Tommy John surgery. After spending 2013 with the Cleveland Indians, Hill returned to Boston on a minor league deal. In 25 games with Triple-A Pawtucket, Hill had a 3.23 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 39 innings.
Overall, Hill has appeared in 181 major league games since 2005. He debuted as a starter with the Chicago Cubs, but retooled his delivery from an overhand motion to a sidearm slot when he converted to a reliever with Boston in 2010. The veteran appealed to the Angels who have been attempting to retool their bullpen, as they sit atop the current wild-card standings despite a bullpen that ranks 11th in the American League in ERA. The Angels also added fellow veteran Jason Grilli last week in exchange for former closer Ernesto Frieri.

Harvey, Irma and global warming. We have to talk.
The reality is that there is almost certainly a connection between a warming planet and the growing severity of storms.
Harvey, Irma and global warming. We have to talk. The reality is that there is almost certainly a connection between a warming planet and the growing severity of storms.

The Daily Advertiser Published 7:33 a.m. CT Sept. 16, 2017

This is no time to discuss climate change and deadly hurricanes, Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt argued to CNN last week. Such a conversation would be "insensitive" to hurricane victims, he explained.
Actually, this is precisely the time to have that discussion.
In the wake of devastating Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, Americans hunger to know whether global warming — something they once regarded as a distant threat involving polar bears and melting glaciers — is a here-and-now part of their daily lives.
Irma became the second Atlantic Category 4 hurricane to strike the U.S. in a single season, the first time in 166 years of weather records. As South Florida braced for the storm, the Republican mayor of Miami, Tomas Regalado, said there was no better occasion to understand the threat global warming poses to the region's future. Pope Francis heralded the twin storms as warnings to mankind.
The reality is that there is almost certainly a connection between a warming planet and the growing severity of storms. The only question is to what degree. Climate change doesn't create hurricanes, but scientists largely agree it makes them worse. Sea levels are rising, and this increases storm-related flood damage in coastal cities such as Miami, Jacksonville and Charleston.
Harvey dropped more than 4 feet of water onto part of southeastern Texas, record rain from a storm over the continental United States, damaging or destroying 100,000 homes in Texas and Louisiana.
Irma spun so powerfully into the Caribbean's Leeward Islands as a Category 5 that it sustained 185-mph winds for 37 hours, longer than ever recorded worldwide.
AccuWeather founder Joel Myers estimates the storms will cost the U.S. $290 billion.
And while the nation is transfixed by the hurricanes, more than 100 wildfires burn across the Northwest, consuming 2 millions acres of forests and grasslands, and threatening to make 2017 the worst ever wildfire season. Scientists see warming temperatures across the West as a contributing factor.
It's small wonder that Americans might look to leadership to connect whatever dots exist between global warming and intensifying natural disasters. But they're met with the moral equivalent of a vacant stare.
Pruitt shushes up the issue even as his agency is cleansing mention of climate change from its website and dismantling Obama-era regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gases that are gushing into the atmosphere, warming the planet. He acts at the behest of a president who has labeled global warming a hoax, has stocked his administration with climate skeptics, and is pulling America out of the Paris climate accord.
The planet has a problem. The storm-intensification impact of climate change might very well have landed on America's doorstep in recent days in the wreckage of Florida and flooded homes of Texas. The circumstances cry out for more study and attention, not less.
Now is the time to talk about climate disruption, adapt to it, mitigate it, and take steps to keep it from getting worse. It's not the time for leaders to stick their heads in the sand.

Samuel Augustus Mitchell Biography
For over fifty years, Samuel Augustus Mitchell, his son, and his successors some of the most prominent publishers of maps and atlases in the United States. Samuel Augustus Mitchell Sr. was born in Bristol, Connecticut on March 20, 1792. His father had emigrated from Scotland in 1773. While little is known about his early schooling, it is known that Mitchell found the quality of early geography text books to be lacking, and determined that he would write and publish better works. This decision led him to relocate to Philadelphia in 1829 or 1830, which was then the center of commercial publishing in America.
Mitchell's first cartographic work was the re-issue of Anthony Finley's New American Atlas in 1831, a work first issued by Finley in 1826, in response to Henry Schenk Tanner's monumental work of the same title, issued in serial format from 1818 to 1822 and as a complete work from 1823 onward. While the map content in Mitchell's edition of the New American Atlas is the same as Finley's edition, each map has been significantly improved and revised, primarily with the addition of new towns and roads. This is especially true in the south and west. Finley had originally collaborated with D.H. Vance and J.H. Young in the preparation of the maps, although Vance's name is removed from the Mitchell edition. Mitchell continued to work with Young, an association which would continue for several decades.
Following publication of the New American Atlas, Mitchell began issuing the individual maps in pocket map format. From 1834, Mitchell began offering reduced sized Tourist Pocket Maps of a number of states in the United States. J.H. Young and D. Haines are listed as the engravers on these maps. In 1832, Mitchell offered the first edition of his Travellers Guide Through the United States, A Map of the Roads, Distances, Steam Boat & Canal Routes &c. By J.H. Young . . ., which would become one of his most popular and enduring works. The map of the United States was done by steel engraving, one of the earliest uses of the technique in map publishing in America. In the same year, the first edition of Mitchell's Map of the United States, by J.H. Young was issued, bearing the copyright date of October 10, 1831. This map would be revised and issued until 1844. Young also compiled A New Map of the United States in 1833. These two wall maps would come to dominate the market and their success led to several later US wall maps issued by Mitchell. This second map was also issued under the title of Mitchell's Reference and Distance Map of the United States, which was printed until 1851.
Mitchell was neither a cartographer nor an engraver. His primary function was as the editor and business manager of his publishing company, with Young working as the primary maker of maps. Beginning in 1839, Mitchell also began publication of his school atlas. This work and variant editions for older and younger students, was issued by Mitchell and his successors from 1839 to 1886. In 1845, Mitchell acquired the rights to Henry Schenk Tanner's New Universal Atlas from Carey & Hart, which had previously acquired the copyright from Tanner and had published editions of 1843 and 1844. Mitchell changed many of the maps and issued two editions of the atlas in 1846. He changed the copperplates to lithography, utilizing Peter S. Duval in Philadelphia to produce the stones. Mitchell re-issued the atlas at least annually until 1850, when he sold the rights to the work to Thomas, Cowperthwait & Company.
In 1860, Mitchell's son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. began issuing Mitchell's New General Atlas. While his father had continued to issue wall maps and other works, this appears to be his son's first entry into the trade. The New General Atlas was issued by SA Mitchell Jr. until 1887. From 1880 to 1887, Bradley & Company also published the atlas. Various other minor publishers, including A.R. Keller, produced editions as late as 1894. The elder Mitchell died in 1868. Samuel Jr. continued the business until the 1890s. At its height, the Mitchell Company employed 250 people and sold 400,000 publications annually.

Song(s) "Home on the Range"
Its capital is Topeka and its largest city is Wichita.
Kansas is named after the Kansa Native American tribe, which inhabited the area. For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Native American tribes.
Kansas was first settled by European Americans in 1812, in what is the now Bonner Springs, Kansas.
Kansas is in a region known as America's Breadbasket.
By 2015, Kansas was one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans.
Residents of Kansas are called "Kansans", officially.
The first European to set foot in present-day Kansas was Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, who explored the area in 1541. In 1803, most of modern Kansas was secured by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase.
Southwest Kansas, however, was still a part of Spain, Mexico and the Republic of Texas until the conclusion of the Mexican–American War in 1848. From 1812 to 1821, Kansas was part of the Missouri Territory.
The Santa Fe Trail traversed Kansas from 1821 to 1880, transporting manufactured goods from Missouri and silver and furs from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Wagon ruts from the trail are still visible in the prairie today.
In 1827, Fort Leavenworth became the first permanent settlement of white Americans in the future state.
The Kansas–Nebraska Act became law on May 30, 1854, establishing the U.S. territories of Nebraska and Kansas, and opening the area to broader settlement by whites. Kansas Territory stretched all the way to the Continental Divide and included the sites of present-day Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo.
Kansas was admitted to the United States as a free state on January 29, 1861, making it the 34th state to enter the Union. By that time the violence in Kansas had largely subsided, but during the Civil War, on August 21, 1863, William Quantrill led several hundred men on a raid into Lawrence, destroying much of the city and killing nearly 200 people.
After the Civil War, many veterans constructed homesteads in Kansas. Many African Americans also looked to Kansas and began establishing black colonies in the state.
Tthe Chisholm Trail was opened and the Wild West-era commenced in Kansas. Wild Bill Hickok was a deputy marshal at Fort Riley and a marshal at Hays and Abilene. Dodge City was another wild cowboy town, and both Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp worked as lawmen in the town.
In one year alone, eight million head of cattle from Texas boarded trains in Dodge City bound for the East, earning Dodge the nickname "Queen of the Cowtowns."
Kansas is bordered by Nebraska on the north; Missouri on the east; Oklahoma on the south; and Colorado on the west. The state is divided into 105 counties with 628 cities, and is located equidistant from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The geographic center of the 48 contiguous states is in Smith County near Lebanon. Until 1989, the Meades Ranch Triangulation Station in Osborne County was the geodetic center of North America: the central reference point for all maps of North America. The geographic center of Kansas is in Barton County.
The western two-thirds of the state, lying in the great central plain of the United States, has a generally flat or undulating surface, while the eastern third has many hills and forests. It is a popular belief that Kansas is the flattest state in the nation. This has since been called into question, with most scientists ranking Kansas between the 20th and 30th flattest state, depending on measurement method. Its average elevation is 2,000 feet (610 m), higher than that of 36 states.
The Kansas climate can be characterized in terms of three types: it has humid continental, semi-arid steppe, and humid subtropical. The state's eastern two-thirds (especially the northeastern portion) has a humid continental climate, with cool to cold winters and hot, often humid summers. Most of the precipitation falls in the summer and spring.
The western third of the state has a semiarid steppe climate. Summers are hot, often very hot, and generally less humid. Winters are highly changeable between warm and very cold.
The far south-central and southeastern reaches of the state, including Wichita, have a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, milder winters and more rain than elsewhere in Kansas. Some features of all three climates can be found in most of the state, with droughts and changeable weather between dry and humid not uncommon, and both warm and cold spells in the winter.
The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Kansas was 2,907,289 on July 1, 2016.
Spanish is the second-most-spoken language in Kansas, after English.
The agricultural outputs of the state are cattle, sheep, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, hogs, corn, and salt. Eastern Kansas is part of the Grain Belt, an area of major grain production in the central United States.
The industrial outputs are transportation equipment, commercial and private aircraft, food processing, publishing, chemical products, machinery, apparel, petroleum and mining.
Kansas ranks eighth in U.S. petroleum production.
Kansas ranks eighth in U.S. natural gas production.
The Kansas economy is also heavily influenced by the aerospace industry. Several large aircraft corporations have manufacturing facilities in Wichita and Kansas City, including Spirit AeroSystems, Learjet, and Textron Aviation (a merger of the former Cessna, Hawker, and Beechcraft brands). Boeing ended a decades-long history of manufacturing in Kansas in 2012–13.
Kansas has 627 incorporated cities.
The northeastern portion of the state, extending from the eastern border to Junction City and from the Nebraska border to south of Johnson County is home to more than 1.5 million people in the Kansas City (Kansas portion), Manhattan, Lawrence, and Topeka metropolitan areas. Overland Park, a young city incorporated in 1960, has the largest population and the largest land area in the county.
Olathe is the county seat and home to Johnson County Executive Airport. The cities of Olathe, Shawnee, and Gardner have some of the state's fastest growing populations. The cities of Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, and Gardner are also notable because they lie along the former route of the Santa Fe Trail.
To the north, Kansas City, with the second largest land area in the state, contains a number of diverse ethnic neighborhoods.
Its attractions include the Kansas Speedway, Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City T-Bones, Schlitterbahn, and The Legends at Village West retail and entertainment center. Nearby, Kansas's first settlement Bonner Springs is home to several national and regional attractions including the Providence Medical Center Amphitheather, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, and the annual Kansas City Renaissance Festival.
Historic Leavenworth, founded in 1854, was the first incorporated city in Kansas. North of the city, Fort Leavenworth is the oldest active Army post west of the Mississippi River.
The city of Atchison was an early commercial center in the state and is well known as the birthplace of Amelia Earhart.
To the west, nearly a quarter million people reside in the Topeka metropolitan area. Topeka is the state capital. Built at a Kansas River crossing along the old Oregon Trail, this historic city has several nationally registered historic places.
In south-central Kansas, the Wichita metropolitan area is home to over 600,000 people.
Wichita is the largest city in the state in terms of both land area and population.
'The Air Capital' is a major manufacturing center for the aircraft industry. Before Wichita was 'The Air Capital' it was a Cowtown.
Up river (the Arkansas River) from Wichita is the city of Hutchinson. The city was built on one of the world's largest salt deposits, and it has the world's largest and longest wheat elevator. It is also the home of Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, Prairie Dunes Country Club and the Kansas State Fair.
North of Wichita is the city of Newton, the former western terminal of the Santa Fe Railroad and trailhead for the famed Chisholm Trail. To the southeast of Wichita are the cities of Winfield and Arkansas City with historic architecture and the Cherokee Strip Museum (in Ark City).
The city of Udall was the site of the deadliest tornado in Kansas on May 25, 1955; it killed 80 people in and near the city.
Located midway between Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita in the heart of the Bluestem Region of the Flint Hills, the city of Emporia has several nationally registered historic places.
Southeast Kansas has a unique history with a number of nationally registered historic places in this coal-mining region.
Located in Crawford County (dubbed the Fried Chicken Capital of Kansas), Pittsburg is the largest city in the region.
The neighboring city of Frontenac in 1888 was the site of the worst mine disaster in the state in which an underground explosion killed 47 miners. "Big Brutus" is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) outside the city of West Mineral. Along with the restored fort, historic Fort Scott has a national cemetery designated by President Lincoln in 1862.
Salina is the largest city in central and north-central Kansas.
South of Salina is the small city of Lindsborg with its numerous Dala horses. Much of the architecture and decor of this town has a distinctly Swedish style. To the east the historic city of Abilene was formerly a trailhead for the Chisholm Trail and was the boyhood home of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and is the site of his Presidential Library and the tombs of the former President, First Lady and son who died in infancy.
Westward along the Interstate, the city of Russell, traditionally the beginning of sparsely-populated northwest Kansas, was the base of former U.S. Senator Bob Dole and the boyhood home of U.S. Senator Arlen Specter.
Two other landmarks are located in smaller towns in Ellis County: the "Cathedral of the Plains" is located 10 miles (16 km) east of Hays in Victoria, and the boyhood home of Walter Chrysler is 15 miles (24 km) west of Hays in Ellis.
Dodge City, famously known for the cattle drive days of the late 19th century, was built along the old Santa Fe Trail route. The city of Liberal is located along the southern Santa Fe Trail route.
The first wind farm in the state was built east of Montezuma. Garden City has the Lee Richardson Zoo.
Kansas is served by two Interstate highways.
Spur routes serve as connections between the two major routes.
The state's only major commercial (Class C) airport is Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport located on the western edge of the city.
The Southwest Chief Amtrak route also runs through the state on its route from Chicago to Los Angeles. Stops in Kansas include Lawrence and Dodge City.
