S&P report shows green funds falling short, SEC to crack down on ESG greenwashing
Only 12% of green or environmental investment funds – and an even smaller proportion of climate-focused funds – are on track to meet global climate goals as described under the Paris Agreement, according to a new report from S&P Global Sustainable1.
The Paris Agreement is a multi-nation pact developed by parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to combat climate change. The agreement's main goal is to limit the global temperature increase in this century to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to work toward limiting the increase to 1.5°C.
For the report, S&P investigated a universe of nearly 12,000 equity mutual funds and ETFs, representing over $20 trillion of market value. Within that universe, approximately 300 funds representing over $350 billion in market value were identified that use green or environmental language in their names or investment objectives. Additionally, a smaller subset of 51 climate-focused funds with over $30 billion in market value were identified.
For the analysis, the study overlaid S&P Global Trucost Paris Alignment data for over 17,000 companies held by the funds, which included summing up historical Scope 1 and 2 emissions beginning in 2012, and forecast emissions through 2025, and comparing those trends with different temperature scenarios based on decarbonization trajectories.
The analysis found that of the 12,000 funds studied, only 11% were aligned with the Paris Agreement's "well below 2°C" scenario. For the green or environmental funds, results on this front were not much different, with only 12% assessed as being on track for the Paris goals. An even smaller proportion of the climate funds, less than 10% were assessed as Paris-aligned.
The green and climate-focused funds performed slightly better in other categories, with around two-thirds of each assessed as on track to limit warming to 3°C, compared to only around half of the broader universe. However, this also implies that a third of climate funds are currently on track to overshoot 3°C.
S&P noted that it did not seek to determine if the sustainability-focused funds were engaged in greenwashing or mislabeling, adding that few of the funds included Paris alignment as a goal, many apply screens to avoid investments in fossil fuels, and focus on areas including renewable energy and climate solutions, and some invest in emissions-heavy companies with a mandate to engage on decarbonization.
Nevertheless, the report indicates that environmental sustainability-focused funds are currently "widely over budget," on their emissions reduction trajectories, "suggesting that many of their holdings are behind schedule in controlling their emissions and sourcing greener energy."
The report adds:
"Our analysis points to a systemic issue — few funds, even those that describe themselves using green or climate-specific language, are on track to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement. Understanding the trajectory is an important step toward planning for a low-carbon future."

In May, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published new proposed disclosure rules for funds and advisers that claim to integrate ESG factors into their investment products and services, aiming to provide clearer and more consistent information for investors, and to address the risk of greenwashing through the exaggeration or misrepresentation of ESG claims.
According to SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the proposals are being made as investor interest in ESG has undergone significant growth, driving a proliferation of investment products and services marketed as 'green' or 'sustainable,' but without clear rules communicating to investors the actual ESG-related attributes, methodologies and criteria that are being considered in the funds.
In a statement accompanying the proposals, Gensler said:
"When an investor reads current disclosures, though, it can be very difficult to understand what some funds mean when they say they're an ESG fund. There also is a risk that funds and investment advisers mislead investors by overstating their ESG focus.
People are making investment decisions based upon these disclosures, so it's important that they be presented in a meaningful way to investors."
The rules identify investment products with various levels of ESG centrality to their strategies, requiring different disclosures for each. "Integration Funds," for example, that utilize ESG factors in their investment decisions alongside non-ESG factors would need to describe how the ESG factors are incorporated, while funds with ESG factors as a primary consideration would need to provide more detailed disclosure, and impact funds targeting specific sustainability-related outcomes would be required to disclose how progress towards their objectives are measured.
Disclosures would also be required based on the types of ESG strategies pursued by the funds, with most environmentally-focused funds required to report on the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity of their portfolios, for example, or funds that use proxy voting or engagement as part of their ESG strategies providing additional information regarding their activities in these areas.
The proposals would also require ESG-focused funds to present information in a standardized, tabular format, enabling investors to quickly identify the types of ESG strategies being used, and to easily compare with other funds.
The SEC also introduced a proposed update to the "Names Rule," aimed at ensuring that a fund's name accurately describes the types of investments targeted by the fund, and doesn't mislead investors about a fund's investments and risks. While the proposed rule does not apply exclusively to ESG funds, it does specify that a fund that does not consider ESG factors more centrally than non-ESG factors in investment decisions would not be allowed to use ESG or similar terminology in the fund's name.
Specifically, in order to use ESG in a fund's name, at least 80% of the fund's assets would need to be invested in assets aligned with an ESG investment policy.
Commenting on the new proposals, professional services firm KPMG's Principal and National Practice Lead for Asset and Wealth Management, Regulatory Risk and Compliance, Larry Godin said:
"The SEC's proposals related to the Investment Company Act's Names Rule and enhanced disclosures for ESG reflect significant steps taken by the Commission to bring investors enhanced transparency surrounding fund strategies. In the absence of a universally accepted definition of ESG, the SEC is seeking to combat greenwashing by placing increased accountability on investment advisers to disclose, in sufficient detail, the investment process used to arrive at decisions made within a portfolio."
Each of the new proposed rules will be open to a 60-day comment period, followed by a decision on whether to move forward with finalized rules by the SEC.
Gensler added:
"I think investors should be able to drill down to see what's under the hood of these funds. This gets to the heart of the SEC's mission to protect investors, allowing them to allocate their capital efficiently and meet their needs."

Over time, the perceived negativity of failing, plus the burden of the undone, will sap our energy and motivation.
Some people choose to give up on goals or big projects altogether; the mental burden becomes too heavy. The risk of failure seems overwhelming. But we need growth in order to feel alive and fulfilled.
Making progress on something — a small or large projects, a big or small risk, a personal or work-related endeavor — requires effort and growth from us. And without growth, we feel stagnant and uninterested. We become unmotivated. Even with work we love and relationships we value, lack of growth devalues.
It coats everything in dull gray.
Avoiding goals and challenges is a good way to avoid failure, yes. But it also requires us to forego growth and progress. It's self-protective, the psychic equivalent of curling up in the fetal position and telling the world — and your ambitions — to leave you alone.
The problem to fix is the type of goals we set, or projects we take on, and how we go about pursuing them.
A need to prove ourselves.
These three things combine into an unpleasant trifecta that cause us to create goals that are unreasonable and unsustainable. And, often, they're not even related to what we value. If we set goals to "prove ourselves" to someone or some group, we get caught up in what seems impressive or meaningful to that group. That's great, if it's also meaningful to us. But many times, it isn't, and we waste our precious time and energy pursuing goals that we don't really value.
If we turn those three issues around, we can find a path that helps us to grow consistently. We can learn to make progress — regular, small steps of progress — that add up to reaching our goals.
Instead of a mindset that says more is always better, let's cultivate a mindset that says enough is best.
Enough is all that you can handle. Enough is you reaching your goals. If you're at level 3 in some pursuit, the next goal is level 4, not level 10. Reaching level 4 is enough. Attempting to reach level 10 in some giant leap is too much; it's too much to attempt and it's too much to achieve. You need the lessons and skills you master in levels 4 through 9 in order to do justice to level 10.
To apply this concept to your own goals and projects, start by looking at the big picture. It's good to get a broad, long-term perspective on what you want to do. But don't stop with that picture. Turn from the binoculars to the microscope: focus on the smallest, next level in your progress. Then, in turn, focus on the smallest next step needed to reach that level.
Take that microscopic step every day (or on some other regular basis) to make continual progress.
Instead of refusing to see our limitations, let's embrace them. Creativity thrives in constraints. Every production of value, whether in art or science, technology or industry, came to us via limitations. There are limitations of decision: the artist decides to create a particular painting, choosing one option over all other available options.
There are limitations of need, resources, time, methodology, and more. Each limitation forces the person or group to focus on finding a specific solution. Often, it's in these solutions that the creative breakthroughs come.
Your own limitations are not a set of chains to bind you; they are a set of markers to steer you. They are the map you follow to your own success. They provide a built-in set of decisions, a way to help you navigate the endless world of options. Set goals that make use of your strengths and abilities, without asking you to be something you are not.
Instead of trying to prove ourselves, let's figure out what we value and work for those values. This approach makes all the difference. Working for what you value means you have goals that excite and energized you.
Working to prove yourself, on the other hand, means you start off in a position of stress and uncertainty. The stress only increases; if you achieve your goal, you still can't be sure that you've done enough. The need to prove yourself is never satisfied by achievement. It's only quieted when you turn your attention to the value that's already in you.
Figuring out what you value isn't easy, but it's worth your effort. Start by looking at what you do for fun, what you'll do for free, and what you've done forever.
For fun: when the process is as fulfilling as the end result, you're on track.
For free: when the value you get from the work itself means more than the money, you're on track.
Forever: when you can trace this particular thread (topic or medium, area of interest or mode of expression) far back in your life, you're on track.
When you're working for your values, you find that your energy and abilities increase.
Meaning creates motivation, in other words.
However, you still don't have to achieve some superhuman level to make progress. Work at a sustainable level; for most of us, with many demands and connections in daily life, a sustainable level means a very small action. Make sure it's a small action that doesn't ask you to operate outside of your limitations.
Do that action consistently; as it become habitual at, you can increase what you're doing. Often, however, you'll find that the consistent small action adds up to a big amount of progress. And making progress, at any goal that matters, is the real goal, after all.

Whenever I go to the kitchen I squeeze an avocado.
It is always the same avocado.
Even when it grows soft, it is never ripe.
I am sick from my life.
throw a sheet over the parts you don't like.
Pretend you are the avocado.
a poison that can leach into the meat of the fruit.
Do not feed avocado meat to your parrot.
It made the sound of beating wings.
Pretend you are the ghost.

Technology in the financial sector, otherwise known as fintech, has matured at an impressive rate in recent months. Much of this progress can be directly attributed to growing interest from brick-and-mortar banks. In fact, these pillars of the financial sector have raised $14.6 billion in venture capital last year for a tech movement that some thought might herald the end of traditional banking. Despite the sometimes contentious relationship, banks are clearly seeing promise in financial technology as it continues to evolve. With that in mind, here are a few ways banks are currently using this innovative technology.
Operating bank branches is an expensive aspect of traditional banking institutions – one that many wouldn't mind phasing out. Unfortunately, speaking face-to-face with a trusted banking advisor is paramount to personal banking and one of the main reasons for the existence of satellite branches.
Some intrepid organizations however are using financial technology to provide the same face-to-face service without the need for a physical presence. Wells Fargo has been exploring video call technology in a pilot program that allows customers to speak face-to-face with bank employees from the comfort of their living room. Though relegated to home equity services in pilot form, the program's popularity has Wells Fargo considering options to roll out the feature to other customers.
In today's online world, we've come to take for granted the speed in which we get information. The banking world, unfortunately, is not quite as quick.
One adventurous owner of a 124-year-old bank has taken cues from the fintech movement to get his operations up to speed. Suresh Ramamurthi of Citizens Bank of Weir (CBW) has been leveraging fintech and his Google background to bring greater transparency to the disparate nature of legacy systems. In doing so, he built a fintech platform from scratch which abstracts customer metadata from financial data silos, therefore granting a much better perspective of information channels. This enhanced transparency then enables his bank to gather real-time information and, with the help of fintech partners, instant payments.
In an attempt to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals and provide a better user experience to loyal customers, banks are increasingly turning to A.I. and blockchain technology. Part of the larger challenge faced by traditional banks in this area is the transmission, authentication and accuracy of financial data. Such banks are looking at financial technology to overcome these challenges in a secure and speedy manner.
Blockchain is one such technology that allows banks to resolve transactions securely and in real time with the use of distributed ledgers. Machine learning is also emerging as a financial-technology solution to provide automated resolution of customer questions and spot suspicious activity before damage is done. All of which leads to a faster, more secure service.
Remote banking, data transparency and safe, secure interactions are all ways in which traditional banks are innovating with the help of fintech. As the technology continues to mature and evolve, the way we interact and use our money may change as well.

Storylines to Watch
No more Bassfield
Teams in Class 2A can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the Yellowjackets are no longer in 2A. Since 2009, Bassfield won five state championships and was a remarkable 5-0 in championship games. Even more remarkable was the fact that Bassfield played in eight South State championship games since 2008. But now, who will step in and take over the reins that Bassfield held for so long? Perry Central and Heidelberg are the obvious choices in 2A South. But can Philadelphia become the new power in the North after its drop down from 3A to 2A?
Bay Springs rebuilding
The Bulldogs have a long way to go in order to return to the success they had in 2016. Bay Springs nearly captured the 2A title but fell short. Now, Dan Brady's crew will have to find an answer offensively now that senior do-it-all player Jaylin Jones is gone. Jones accounted for 2,346 total yards and 31 touchdowns in 2016. Also gone is star quarterback Caderius Lee. Lee was nearly as effective as Jones, throwing for 1,473 yards and 23 touchdowns. Lee also rushed for 361 yards and five touchdowns. The Bulldogs aren't out of the 2A race, but will need to find answers offensively in order to repeat their success from 2016.
Philadelphia, not Calhoun City, the favorite in the North
Calhoun City is still top dog in 2A. But that could be short lived. Philadelphia returns 20 starters from a year ago when it finished 7-5 in a loaded 3A South that included teams like Seminary, Hazlehurst, Raleigh and eventual champion Kemper County. But the Tornadoes aren't looking at the past. Philadelphia, which returns its quarterback, running back and all five offensive linemen, will feature a ball-control offense with a talented defense on the other side of the ball. Coach Teddy Dyess won championships in Lumberton but has yet to do so in Philadelphia. This could be his year.
2A South wide open
No more Bassfield and a rebuilding Bay Springs could mean a new 2A South champion not named Bassfield or Bay Springs for the first time since East Marion in 2011. So, who will step up? Perry Central is the odds-on favorite with so many returning starters, and like Philadelphia, dropped down from 3A to 2A. But Heidelberg won't go quietly and neither will Taylorsville, a longtime 2A power. But perhaps another team could emerge and shock everyone.
Can Ragsdale top last season?
Don Ragsdale burst onto the 2A scene with 3,081 yards and 38 touchdowns in 2016. The senior running back churned out more yards than any other running back in Class 2A. But can he do it again? Ragsdale is now bigger and stronger, but now opposing teams are gunning for him. He will have a target on his back, but will it matter? It will come down to Ragsdale's offensive line. If they can get it done in the trenches, then Ragsdale could have even better numbers and finish one of the state's most impressive two-year stints at running back.
Top 5 games
1. Calhoun City at East Webster, October 6
It's a rematch of last season's 2A North State championship game. But what's more, the two could meet later down the road in the playoffs once again.
2. Taylorsville at Perry Central, September 22
The first true 2A test for Perry Central. Taylorsville is a storied school in 2A and despite having a down season last year, the Tartars should be back in the thick of things in 2A. However, Perry Central has the depth and the experience from 3A on its side.
3. Newton at Philadelphia, October 6
Two teams that will battle for the Region 4-2A title that return a lot on both sides of the ball. Newton will feature quarterback Trevion Hillie and talented wide receivers Zackariah Johnson and Zachary Johnson. Newton finished 7-4 last season and could take the next step into truly contending for Class 2A. However, the Tornadoes stand in the way. Philadelphia returns 19 of 22 starters and is considered one of the favorites of Class 2A.

4. Puckett at Pisgah, September 29
These two teams met last season in the regular season finale to determine who would win Region 6-2A. The Dragons prevailed 28-20. Puckett and Pisgah shared similar fates in 2A as they both fell in the first round of the playoffs. Both teams return the core of both of those rosters, but now the two teams meet in the first region game of the season, which will go a long way in determining playoff seeding.
5. Heidelberg at Bay Springs, October 26
The Oilers came up one game short of the Class 2A South State championship game, losing to Bassfield 41-22. But now Bassfield is gone and the Oilers are ready to make their mark on 2A South along with Perry Central. In order for Heidelberg to be considered among the teams to watch in 2A South, however, it will need to knock off the team that defeated Bassfield last season: Bay Springs. The Bulldogs lost 19 of 22 starters while the Oilers return most of their starters. But in order for Heidelberg to make a deep run, it will need a confidence-boosting win over Bay Springs in the regular season finale.

Top 5 teams
1. Calhoun City
No reason for the defending champs to be anywhere else, especially with the return of quarterback Jojo Gray. Gray passed for 403 yards and six touchdowns in 2016 but also ran for 866 yards and 10 scores. The Wildcats also return bruising running back Keshun Parker. Parker ran through teams to the tune of 1,054 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. Parker will become even more important as he returns to lead the defense after tallying 126 tackles from his linebacker position. The Wildcats will have a tougher road to travel in order to get to Oxford for the state championships but still remain the team to beat.

2. Philadelphia
The number one contender against Calhoun City comes in the form of the Tornadoes. Philadelphia will be one of the deepest and most talented teams in not just 2A North, but all of Class 2A. The Tornadoes return 19 out of 22 starters from a 7-5 year in Class 3A. The Tornadoes lost to Raleigh in the first round of the playoffs, 26-21. Top running back Cortney Smith returns to lead the offense after rushing for 1,248 yards and 17 touchdowns. However, the strength of the Tornadoes will lie with their defense. Linebacker Javon Pickens returns as a force in the middle after notching 99 total tackles. Both Tornado outside linebackers, Demontae Moore and Malik Collier, return as well. Moore and Collier combined for 107 tackles and 21 tackles for loss. Along the defensive line, Chris Griffin will anchor things after leading the team with 106 tackles.
3. Perry Central
Another team that dropped down from 3A to 2A is Perry Central. Chip Bilderback, in his second season at the helm of the Bulldogs, is optimistic about his team's chances as he returns 15 starters from a 3A playoff team. The Bulldogs bring back quarterback Tijuane Bolton as well as running back Mckail Sumrall. The Bulldogs will have to replace 1,000-yard rusher George Bolton, but Sumrall should fill that role nicely after he rushed for 972 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Perry Central's main strength, much like Philadelphia's, will lie with its depth. The Bulldogs look to feature as many as 60 players on their roster, with many of those earning significant playing time.
4. East Webster
You can't mention top teams in class 2A without mentioning East Webster. The Wolverines, two years removed from a runner-up finish in the Class 2A final, have made the playoffs 15 times since 2000. Look for them to continue their tradition of excellence in 2017. East Webster returns standout quarterback Charlie Brand, who was instrumental in leading the Wolverines to the 2A quarterfinals last season and finished with 1,378 yards and 14 touchdowns passing. However, East Webster has holes to fill on the defensive side of the ball. Linebackers Luke Wilson and Spencer Carden, who combined for 258 tackles, are gone and it will be up to the Wolverines to replace their production.
5. Baldwyn
The Bearcats could make a case for being No. 4 on this list. Baldwyn should be strong once again after making a trip to the 2A South State championship game against Calhoun City. The Bearcats return starting quarterback John Swinney, who passed for 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns last season. Baldwyn will have to replace the production from senior running backs Jalon Clark and Ovurton Gates, who combined for 1,720 yards and 30 touchdowns. The Bearcats will have to hit the ground running with tough early season matchups with Booneville, New Albany and Kossuth.
5 players to watch

1. Pisgah RB Don Ragsdale
Ragsdale took the 2A world by storm with a 3,000-yard rushing campaign. Ragsdale had five games of more than 300 yards, capped off by a career high 453-yard, five touchdown performance against St. Joe-Madison in his ninth game of the season. However, can Ragsdale match or even top that performance now that teams know who he is? Ragsdale is no longer flying under the radar after his junior season and being named a 2017 member of the Dandy Dozen.
2. Philadelphia RB Cortney Smith
Smith made the Tornado offense go in 2016. He led the Tornadoes in rushing yards (1,248) as well as total yards and touchdowns (17). Despite those impressive numbers, Smith was even more impressive as a sophomore, rushing for 1,496 yards and 25 rushing touchdowns. Smith, however, could be ready for an even bigger season in 2017. One thing on Smith's side is his experience. The senior tailback is now a three-year starter and is playing behind a more seasoned offensive line. Smith could be in for a special senior season.
3. South Delta RB Arteise Myles
If it wasn't for Ragsdale, Myles would have been considered the top running back in Class 2A. Myles ran for 2,234 yards and 22 touchdowns last season, leading the Bulldogs to a 9-4 mark. Myles returns alongside an experienced offensive line and could challenge both Smith and Ragsdale as the top running back in 2A North. Myles is also a three-year starter at running back for the Bulldogs and if they hope to make the playoffs again, Myles will need to continue his greatness.
4. Calhoun City RB/LB Keshaun Parker
Parker was key in leading Calhoun City to a state championship in 2016. He was the second leading rusher on the team with 1,054 yards and 19 touchdowns. Parker was a bruiser both on the ground and while playing linebacker for the Wildcats. He was second on the team in total tackles (126). He also notched a sack and forced four fumbles. Now in his senior season, Parker will be the focal point both offensively and defensively as he returns to lead both units.
5. Newton QB Trevion Hillie
One of the biggest unknown quantities in Class 2A, Hillie surprised teams with his dual-threat ability. Hillie torched teams through the air for 1,818 yards and 22 touchdowns. And that was in just eight games. Hillie also took advantage of his running ability to tack on 351 yards and four more rushing touchdowns. Now in his second year under offensive guru Ryan Smith, Hillie's stock is on the rise and could see his passing and rushing numbers skyrocket as Smith puts more responsibility on the talented junior's shoulders.

Ernst and Young hired sex discrimination expert to investigate Sydney employee's suicide
Ernst and Young, one of the Big 4 accountancy firms, has hired a sex discrimination expert to look into bullying and racism charges related to the shocking suicide of a Sydney employee.
Aishwarya Venkatchalam, 27, died on August 27 at 12:20 a.m. when she fell from the 11th floor terrace of her company's tower block in Sydney's central business district.
The Indian native, who relocated to Australia 11 months ago, complained to friends that her coworkers were "rude and discriminatory," according to a report in Daily Mail Australia.
Following the disclosures, Ernst and Young, doing business as EY, has now tapped former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick to look into the incident.
But other employees have criticized the decision.
One person told Daily Mail Australia, "I don't see why this EY leadership needs to contact outside experts to advise them how to manage a decent workplace."
Good samaritans described to Daily Mail Australia how they came to Ms Venkatchalam distressed and sobbing in a neighboring parking lot just before she passed away. She was lamenting being mistreated.
The senior auditor died after falling into the awning above the building's front entrance about 30 minutes later.
Following Ms Venkatchalam's passing, the business was once again accused of racism and of having a hostile employment environment.
There is no indication that Ms. Venkatachalam's death was caused in any way by EY, her coworkers, or her bosses.
However, Oceanic EY CEO David Larocca has promised Ms. Broderick will conduct a "independent and comprehensive" evaluation of the company's culture, working methods, psychological health, and safety.
Ms. Broderick founded the Champions of Change Coalition and is a UN Special Rapporteur on discrimination against women and girls.
Her specialized consulting firm states that it is particularly interested in cultural revitalization in contexts where men predominate.
During her eight years as the sex discrimination commissioner, she conducted a review of how women were treated in the Australian Defence Force, which resulted in significant cultural changes.
In the wake of the tragedy, the firm has now now started two further internal reviews to address mental health and safety support throughout the organization.
A diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace is something that EY is committed to providing for all of its employees, according to Mr. Larocca.
"The results of these reviews will aid us in doing that,"
The company's original response, which didn't even mention Ms Venkatchalam in a speech to the 9,000 employees in Sydney, outraged the firm's staff.
After Daily Mail Australia exposed how irate employees were contacting the CEO on LinkedIn and advising him to "say her name," company executives ultimately gave in.
Even though the reviews have now been verified, some people are still unsure of the impact it will have.
One employee told Daily Mail Australia that a review should identify any systematic problems. Who should bear responsibility for those?
On August 26, Ms. Venkatachalam, who professionally went by the truncated Venkat form of her name, passed away while attending a business drinks event at Sydney's The Ivy nightclub.
She was seen sobbing uncontrollably by a group of women heading back to their car in a city center parking lot. She informed them that "white people are not kind, are terrible people, and racist" and that "everyone was so mean to her in her job."
It reflected similar remarks she had earlier made to her friend Neeti Bisht in April about how her new life in Sydney had been made miserable by her "mean colleagues."
She said to the three women she met in the parking lot that her house key was in her office but that she was unable to leave the building to retrieve it because she was locked out.
She wed Nakul Murali in a grand three-day Tamil-Brahman ceremony in January 2021, and he was traveling from Singapore to Sydney on their honeymoon when she passed away.
Around midnight, she was assisted by other onlookers as she returned to her workplace, but 20 minutes later she fell to her death.
The terrace deck on the roof of the 10th story has been off-limits to personnel since the tragedy, and NSW Police and SafeWork NSW are still looking into the death.

Village Vet Animal Clinic in Broken Arrow, OK is pleased to provide class IV laser therapy treatment to our clients as a reliable treatment for many causes of chronic and acute pain swelling and injury recovery. Laser therapy can be used in addition to other types of treatments and is a drug-free, non-surgical means of providing pain relief. Laser therapy utilizes light to permeate tissue in a process called photo-bio-stimulation. Researchers have actually revealed numerous professional advantages consisting of decreased swelling, discomfort relief, and accelerated healing.
Laser treatment promotes activity within the cells; leading to enhanced oxygen, increased production of energy, and a particle called A.T.P. These actions assist tissue to recover quicker and lower the development of mark tissue. Surgical incisions and other injuries benefit from treatment with laser therapy.
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Treatments to much deeper tissues are administered in 5 to 10 minutes. Normally, even chronic patients display enhancement after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. In spite of short treatment times, laser therapy treatments start a healing process that remains to actively reduce swelling for as much as 24 hours after treatment.
Laser treatment has been utilized in Europe for several years, and is currently used in the United States to treat human beings for conditions such as sports injury, as well as, arthritis. We are delighted to provide this advanced innovation to our clients. Ask if your pet can take advantage of this inexpensive, non-invasive, drug-free treatment. Your beloved pet will certainly be glad you did.
Get a $49 Harmony Laser Treatment for your dog's arthritis, surgery recovery or pain relief all during December.
If you have a pet who doesn't get around too well any more, it may not be just "old age". Offer your pet some relief from his or her discomfort by scheduling a Harmony Laser Therapy Treatment today.

Gut Instinct
Tags: gut instinct, gut-brain connection, inner wisdom, intuition, neuroscience, second brain blog, blog app No comments
Have you ever wondered about the wisdom of those gut feelings we all have? You know, the little voice inside that whispers, and sometimes even screams if we're not paying attention. Urging us to do this or not to do that. And it's saved countless people, countless times. It's such an important skill to have, isn't it. To be able to listen to this inner wisdom. But I wonder, how often do we act on that wisdom.? How often do we disregard it?
I heard they actually train spies to go with their gut. Not their head, not their heart. But with their gut feeling. Because it's so important, isn't it. And most people don't realise there is a good deal of science behind gut instinct. And how it works. Because the more we discover about the brain the more we understand how it all comes together. Understanding ourselves. It's one of the last great frontiers, isn't it. This brilliant mind we all possess. And don't always make the best use of.
The brain gurus that know all about neuroscience will tell you our brain and our gut are intricately connected. In fact they call the 100 million nerve cells in our gut, our second brain. Can you believe there's more nerve cells in our gut than there are in our spinal cord? And in any given situation our brain is processing millions of bits of data at lightening speed. Working out the best way forward. Sending it's chemical messages through our bodies to make sure our response is the right one. Have you ever stopped to acknowledge just how brilliant you really are?
There's a story of a fireman who saved his entire crew from dying in a fiery furnace. Gut instinct it was. And when you understand that our minds retain the memory of everything we've ever encountered, you can understand why a new situation that doesn't seem 'quite right' can set off the alarm bells. And on this day, this firee was listening to his inner wisdom. As he stood within the flames, his subconscious mind scanned the memory of every fire he had ever fought. Comparing it to this one he faced now. Everything happening at lightening speed. He wouldn't even have been aware he was doing it. But the gut feeling he felt in response told him this one was different. And it took him only seconds to respond to the little voice that said 'get out'. Ordering evacuation for his entire team just before the backdraft hit, just before the whole building blew sky high. A hero because he followed his gut instincts. Powerful things those.
Is there a situation in your life you need to follow your gut instinct with? It's so important to listen to our inner wisdom, isn't it.

70s Rewind: INSERTS, Place an X Over Its Heart
Peter Martin
Managing Editor; Dallas, Texas (@peteramartin)
Richard Dreyfuss once starred in an X-rated film. Let that sink in for a moment.
Placing that into proper context reminds us that the 1970s were a very different time. The MPAA film rating system became effective in the U.S. on November 1, 1968. Six months later, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy received an X-rating, and less than a year later, became the first (and only) X-rated film to win the Academy Award as Best Picture.
Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls earned the X-rating for its release in June 1970, Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange received it upon its original release in the U.S. in February 1972, Ralph Bakshi's animated Fritz the Cat was tagged with an X in April 1972, and Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris met the X when it was released in the U.S. in February 1973.
They were hardly the only movies to receive an X-rating; some 13 movies received an X in 1969, 22 titles in 1970, and 34 movies in 1971. Only nine titles received that designation in 1972, but the following year saw the success of the X-rated Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones, which further shifted the rating away from more serious adult fare toward more explicit sexual entertainment.
Reportedly, Inserts was produced sometime in 1974, though it did not open in U.S. theaters until February 13, 1976. By that time, the idea of an serious, X-rated, mainstream picture featuring a Hollywood star made it an anomaly, yet not one that made it many fans. Truth be told, Inserts is very unpleasant to watch through its first half because of its X-rated content, most specifically because the rating was undoubtedly incurred during a rape scene.
Even before it reaches that point, though, the movie is not terribly inviting. It's set in 1930 and takes place entirely in a somewhat decrepit Hollywood mansion owned by a filmmaker nicknamed 'Boy Wonder' (Dreyfuss). As the story begins, an actress named Harlene (Veronica Cartwright) bustles inside and undresses.
The two have a cozy relationship, but Harlene is primarily interested in doing drugs. She's also arrived to shoot a sexually-explicit "insert" scene, to be directed by Boy Wonder. He was supposedly an early master in the silent film era who has now fallen on hard times because of his alcoholism, and is reduced to shooting inserts on a makeshift set in his living room.
Boy Wonder and Harlene are soon joined by a young actor called, dismissively, 'Rex, the Wonder Dog' (Stephen Davies). He is annoying and ambitious, which makes for very unpleasant company when combined with Harlene, who affects a sing-song, high-pitched voice, and Boy Wonder, who evinces an incredibly mannered personality that soars and swoops into flamboyant artificiality.
This sour tossed salad achieves fever pitch in the rape scene, which is rather disgusting to behold, even after it's over and Boy Wonder and Harlene express their joy at 'getting the shot.' Then, in walks Big Mac (Bob Hoskins) and his might-be fiancee Cathy Cake (Jessica Harper) and things change.
Big Mac is financing Boy Wonder's work and wants to check on the progress. Initially hanging on his arm, aspiring actress Cathy Cake says she 'wants to see everything.' The temperature in the room rises after their entrance.
Make no mistake, Inserts doesn't become kinder and gentler. If anything, it's even more ruthless after Big Mac and, especially, Cathy Cake show up. While Big Mac is a rat-a-tat Hollywood type, Cathy Cake is something altogether different, a woman who tries out her own powers on Boy Wonder, once Big Mac, Rex and Harlene depart the scene.
It's a marvelous performance by Harper, who was just at the beginning of her film career. Evidently She made this movie before * after Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise, and the two performances are nicely complementary in showing the range of her talents. Here she appears to be overwhelmed by Boy Wonder, yet then shows her teeth and puts him on edge with her frank ownership of her own sexuality. Dreyfuss gives a much more direct, less mannered performance opposite Harper. They make a connection on screen that is palpable.
Davies, Cartwright and Harper spend a lot of screen time in the buff, to the point that it becomes less of a distraction and more a part of life, which is still a rare thing to see in American films. The sexual activity defines the characters to a certain extent: Boy Wonder, who suffers from impotence, drives his actors to do things that he cannot. Rex and Harlene enact a very rough rape scene, though that appears to magnify their own ugly, shallow views on life; Rex gains satisfaction only through assault and violence, while the fundamentally unhappy Harlene seems to accept the role of victim because she doesn't find any value in herself.
Beyond the sexual activity, Inserts also functions as a commentary on Hollywood past. It was part of a trend of movies that looked back at that period of moviemaking. The previous year had seen the seamier side, in James Ivory's The Wild Party (March 1975) and John Schlesinger's The Day of the Locust (May 1975), and the more nostalgic angle, in Howard Zieff's Hearts of the West (October 1975).
Inserts was followed in 1976 by Mel Brooks' Silent Movie (June), Elia Kazan's The Last Tycoon (November) and Peter Bogdanovich's Nickelodeon (December), and in 1977 by Ken Russell's Valentino, (October) and Gene Wilder's The World's Greatest Lover (December), among others.
Filmmakers in the 1970s were using the greater freedoms afforded to them to comment more explicitly on their forebears. John Byrum made a splash by writing Harry and Walter Go to New York and Mahogany, but Inserts was another thing entirely. Shot on one set (in England) with just a handful of actors, this is a movie that feels like a play, and Byrum uses that claustrophobia to his advantage.
The first half of the movie feels oppressive, which is lightened when it becomes a two-hander for much of the second half. Byrum would go on to make Heart Beat, The Razor's Edge and The Whoopee Boys (?!) before turning to television.
Dreyfuss appears to have made this film soon after Ted Kotcheff's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, and his performances in the two films reflect a similar tone, leaning a bit too hard, too often on the hysterical edge. Yet the actor was also capable of reigning in his excesses to hit very intimate and convincing notes. Some of his very 'actor-y' impulses seen in this movie were later played for laughs in The Goodbye Girl, where they fit much better.
Harper seldom received similar opportunities, though she was later quite memorable in Suspiria, Pennies From Heaven and My Favorite Year. Cartwright's nervous energy was put to great use in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alien and The Right Stuff; she's remained busy throughout her career. Davies appeared in director Byrum's subsequent films and a number of other TV shows and movies. Hoskins had his big breakthrough a few years later in The Long Good Friday.
Like other films initially rated X, Inserts received a change in rating; in 1996 it was re-rated NC-17. The Blu-ray from Twilight Time looks quite good, though bear in mind that this was a low-budget production, meant to reflect its 1930 setting. An isolated music and effects track is included, as well as the original theatrical trailer.
Inserts has long been a movie that I wanted to see. It's not at all what my fevered juvenile mind imagined it might be -- a skin flick comedy -- but instead proves to be a provocative disturbance that settles into a rueful battle of the sexes. Adventurous viewers will want to check it out.
* Correction: Per Swanarchives, Phantom of the Paradise shot in 1973, before Inserts. Further information here. We regret the error.

To Spread Dr. APJ Kalam's Message, This 63-Year-Old Man Has Travelled 3000 km In His Solar Car
10 Dec 2015 2:07 PM GMT
Source: indianexpress | Image:thehindu Syed Sajjad Ahmed's Timeline
An inspired human being is no less than an unstoppable force of nature. Syed Sajjad Ahmed is a living testimony to that. Aged 63, he has no advantage of finances or even youth,
He started his journey on 1st of November, this year in his self-designed solar car with the motive of raising awareness on environmental protection.
Born in an ordinary background, Syed was compelled to drop out of school at the age of 15 to earn for his family. He ran a fruit shop in Bengaluru, and gradually progressed towards repairing electronics, learning on the way. Soon, he was fixing television sets and two-wheelers. He has two sons, whom he has educated well, and a daughter who is physically disabled.
However, inadequate finances and education were not going to stand between Syed and his passion for bringing some good to society.
At 50, before he could succumb to old age and infirmity, he decided to design his own vehicle, a solar car. It took him four long years, and a significant cost of Rs 50,000 to conceptualise and build his car. His car has five solar panels, with power supplied from six storage batteries, and reaches a maximum speed of 30 kmph. His innovation won him the award for environment protection from the Karnataka state government.
Determined to promote the use of renewable alternative sources of energy and environmental protection, Syed drove his car all the way to New Delhi to attend the India International Science Fair. Inspired by our late President, Dr. APJ Kalam, he wants to help realise his vision of a pollution free India.
This is not the first time he has undertaken a journey to raise a public issue. He covered 1,000 km over the south of India in 2012, in support of Anna Hazare, to raise awareness against corruption.
Syed serves as a source of inspiration to us all, proving that passion, perseverance, motivation and an innovative mind stand victorious against all odds.


On March 24-26, Uzbekistan delegation led by Deputy Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade Badriddin Abidov visited Brussels.
The main issue on the agenda of the negotiations was to determine the prospects for cooperation with the European side within the framework of the Multi-Partner Human Security Trust Fund for the Aral Sea Region in Uzbekistan.
During the visit, meetings were held with a number of high-ranking representatives of the European Union.
Members of Uzbekistan delegation provided detailed information about the goals and objectives of the Multi-Partner Trust Fund, mechanisms for approving and implementing projects, ensuring transparency and interaction with donors.
At the meetings, representatives of the EU and Belgium reported that they support the initiative of Uzbekistan and the United Nations to establish the Multi-Partner Human Security Trust Fund for the Aral Sea Region in Uzbekistan and are committed to establishing long-term cooperation in reducing the negative effects of the drying up of the Aral Sea.
According to the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Belgium, an agreement was reached following the meetings and negotiations that in early April the EU delegation led by the Special Representative Peter Burian would visit the Aral Sea region to study the needs of Uzbekistan and prepare recommendations for EU institutions and member countries on cooperation opportunities with the Uzbek side within the framework of the Multi-Partner Human Security Trust Fund for the Aral Sea Region.
The European side also intends to propose the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation between the EIB and the Multi-Partner Human Security Trust Fund for the Aral Sea Region, which is scheduled to be signed during the May visit to Uzbekistan of the Vice-President of the Bank Vazil Hudák.


Clippers-Rockets will go down as one of the stranger seven-game series in recent history.
The Clippers, fresh off a narrative-changing Game 7 win over the Spurs in the first round, took the first game of this series without an injured Chris Paul. Paul would return by Game 3, and the Clippers reeled off two more huge wins to take a 3-1 lead.
The series, marked by an absurd number of intentional fouls and often terrible basketball, seemed all but over. The Clippers three wins came by margins of 16, 25 and 33.
Then the Rockets put up their own blowout in Game 5, winning by 21. But Los Angeles was going back home for Game 6, and they led by as much as 19 in the second half of that game. Houston somehow came back, scoring 40 points in the fourth quarter to force a decisive Game 7.
On Sunday, Houston ran right through a tired, sloppy Clippers team. The Clips kept it close for much of the way, but each of their runs were answered by the Rockets. In the third quarter, Houston pulled away for good, withstanding a late scare from Los Angeles in the final minutes of the fourth. It was a wire-to-wire win.
Now, the conference final matchups are set. For all the craziness we saw in the playoffs, the final four teams are the top four seeds from the regular season. The NBA champion will come from Golden State, Houston, Atlanta or Cleveland.
The conference finals begin Tuesday.

            $("#MerryParentCityId").html(result);
        });
     });

 });

   function getcities(){
    $options = $this->Student->MerryParent->City->getCities($this->data['MerryParent']['state_id']);
    print_r($options);

A: When I modify getcities function in students_controller.php to include
$this->data['MerryParent']['state_id']=$_GET['state_id'];

The city dropdown box is getting populated with the cities for the selected state.
So, following is the modified getcities function:
function getcities(){
    $this->data['MerryParent']['state_id']=$_GET['state_id'];
    if (!empty($this->data['MerryParent']['state_id'])){
       $cities = $this->Student->MerryParent->City->getCities($this->data['MerryParent']['state_id']);
    //print_r($cities);
    foreach ($cities as $k=>$v){
        echo '<option value="'.$k.'">'.$v.'</option>';
    }

        /* foreach($cities as $optionValue){
            echo '<option>' . $optionValue . '</option>';
        }*/
    }else{
        $this->Session->setFlash('You didn\'t select a state!');
    }

}

Thank you.

A: function formatosDinamicos(){
$id_a = $_GET['agente_id'];
if(!empty($id_a)){
    $listaFormato = $FormatoController->listaVariableFormatoDependent($id_a);
    foreach ($listaFormato as $k=>$v){
        echo '<option value="'.$k.'">'.$v.'</option>';
    }
}else{
    $this->Session->setFlash('Error!');
}
$this->autoRender = false;
}

In the button of the function autoRender in false

Special NO 9 House on Tennessee Street was the first KieranTimberlake sustainable home constructed in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward.

As shown in this aerial photograph, the Lower Ninth Ward suffered some of the most devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
An ornamental railing was fabricated by A. Zahner Company from aluminum sheet cut with a water jet.
The home takes advantage of consistent rainfall in New Orleans. Rainwater is collected on roof surfaces and captured for use in flushing toilets, washing clothing, and irrigating the landscape.
The low-lying site shows few standing residences in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood post-Hurricane Katrina. Designs for Make It Right homes needed to meet federal flood standards, and each needed to include an area of refuge on the roof in case of flooding.

How can we build a safe, affordable, sustainable home for an unstable landscape?
In 2007, actor Brad Pitt founded the Make It Right Foundation to bring sustainable, storm-resistant housing to the Lower Ninth Ward following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. KieranTimberlake was selected as one of thirteen prominent architecture firms to design safe, environmentally sensitive housing to rebuild the ravaged neighborhood belonging to a community of homeowners who had received little support since the storm. Special NO 9 House is one of the original thirteen single-family homes designed for residents of the neighborhood whose homes were destroyed.
Construction of the first house built for residents who lost their home in Hurricane Katrina involved a mix of prefabricated SIPs (structural insulated panels) shells and on-site techniques.
Several challenges need to be overcome in the design of an adaptable home for the Lower Ninth Ward. The parcel of land was situated below sea level, vulnerable to future storms, and the site was long and narrow. The home needed to be raised above ground level to meet federal flood standards and to contain an area of refuge on the roof in case of flooding. To ensure its affordability for residents, who were required to finance 85 percent of the purchase, the cost of the home was capped. Throughout the design process, the team made careful choices based on climate, cost, and collaboration with community leaders and residents.
Special NO 9 House was designed to be not only safe and affordable but also sustainable, incorporating a variety of environmental strategies.
Special NO 9 House is a flexible, integrated system that can accommodate a range of adaptations to the interior program, environmental systems, and aesthetics. The structure and organization of the house are comparable to the chassis of an automobile that can be fitted with optional components to vary its function and appearance. Through a series of options—from floor plans to systems to finishes—the house can be customized to satisfy a range of homeowner desires, an approach essential to rebuilding a neighborhood and not simply providing shelter.
To support Make It Right's goal of building 150 homes in the Lower Ninth Ward, Special NO 9 House was designed for eventual mass production. The first iterations were constructed on site using panelized methods involving SIPs (structural insulated panels) and prefabricated interior partitions. Designed to be cost effective and sustainable, Special NO 9 House outperforms the typical American home in energy and health through the application of better insulation, efficient systems, and non-toxic materials.
A high level of performance is achieved through a well constructed envelope, an efficient HVAC system, and a building orientation that limits most solar exposure during the warmest months. Solar heat gains are further moderated by a trellis system along the south side of the house that provides direct shading and is intended to become fully vegetated for additional solar protection and to create a habitat for native species. Large operable windows provide natural light, views, and ventilation, offering occupants a deep connection to the outside world.
Other energy-saving features include a roof-mounted photovoltaic array, heating and cooling provided by a geothermal pump, and rainwater cisterns for non-potable water.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with the tactics of the Occupy Wall Street movement, it's easy to understand the inspiration for its anger as well as its impatience.
Politically, Obama's amazing streak of self-destructing opponents who have lain beneath his feet during his unlikely political career appears to be holding.
To own the dominant, or only, newspaper in a mid-sized American city was, for many decades, a kind of license to print money. In the Internet age, however, no one has figured out how to rescue the newspaper in the United States or abroad.
One of the many, many salutary aspects of Barack Obama's impending presidential nomination is the sea change his victory marks in the battle for the mind-set of the American foreign policy establishment.
More and more, Democrats are starting to worry they that they have a more um, colorful version of Jimmy Carter on their hands. Obama acts cool as a proverbial cucumber but that awful '70s show seems frightfully close to a rerun.
Recently released government economic statistics covering 2010, the first year of real recovery from the financial collapse of 2008, found that fully 93 percent of additional income gains coming out of the recession went straight into the wallets and purses of the top 1 percent.
Americans have always evinced some distrust of government, but the current situation has exacerbated this to a degree that may be unprecedented.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's 'Courant,' it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America's last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive.
While history never repeats itself, political patterns do.
The myth of the liberal media empowers conservatives to control debate in the United States to the point where liberals cannot even hope for a fair shake anymore.
The ability of the 1 percent to buy politicians and regulators is nothing new in American politics - just as inequality has been a permanent part of our economic system. This is true of virtually all political and economic systems.
Local politics, like everything else, are not what they used to be. But the fact is that our political system - like our physical existence - still breaks down along geographical lines.
We live in a media world simultaneously obsessed with technology and personality.
As a parent and a citizen, I'll take a Bill Gates (or Warren Buffett) over Steve Jobs every time. If we must have billionaires, better they should ignore Jobs's example and instead embrace the morality and wisdom of the great industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
