Tropic of Chaos
By Bryan Walker • 20/06/2011 This post was syndicated from Hot Topic » Bryan Walker - View original source
The title piqued my curiosity: Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence. Christian Parenti's book is about what he calls 'the catastrophic convergence', when the dislocations of climate change collide with already-existing crises of poverty and violence. He points to evidence, often in tropical countries, that political, economic and environmental disasters are compounding and amplifying each other, to the great detriment of some populations. In other words, climate change is intertwining itself with the existing difficulties faced by those populations and making them worse.
Parenti is an investigative journalist, a contributing editor for the US progressive weekly magazine The Nation, and author of earlier books on the American penal system, surveillance in America and the American occupation in Iraq. This book is firmly anchored in close-up visits he has made to the places he writes about, visits where he met with people on the receiving end of the crises he describes. In fact the book opens with the description of a man dead with a bullet through his head who lay 'beneath a flat-topped acacia tree, its latticework of branches casting a soft mesh of shade upon his body'. He was a pastoralist in northwest Kenya belonging to a tribe Parenti was visiting. He had been killed in the course of a cattle raid by a neighbouring tribe. Drought was bad. Raiding picks up when that is the case. It could be said that tradition killed him, or the drought killed him. But in Palenti's mind, as he walked among the tribe's warriors scanning the hills for the neighbouring tribe's war party, the man's death was caused by the catastrophic convergence of poverty, violence and climate change.
He pursues this theme into the unsettled regions of north Kenya and the failed or failing states which adjoin them — Uganda, Southern Sudan and Somalia. It's a complex picture, in which the relatively recent history of the regions plays a strong part, as Parenti's discussions of colonialism and the Cold War remind the reader. Failed and semi-failed states are not well placed to tackle poverty or to control violence in their communities, let alone cope with the added burden of more droughts and more flooding which climate change is bringing to the region.
From Africa he turns to Asia. In Afghanistan droughts, floods and failed crops, combined with the failure of governance lead unerringly to the opium poppy as a source of relative security. In India and Pakistan water and climate have become the key drivers of the continuing conflict which has its roots in the past. Within India Parenti focuses on the Andhra Pradesh region where farmers reported that in the last ten to fifteen years regular drought and strangely timed rain had become very common. None of them had heard of greenhouse gases or anthropogenic climate change and many speculated that deforestation was the problem. The dominance of cotton growing in the area is no help since the crop needs large amounts of water. Many farmers are poor and mired in debt. Neoliberal austerity offers them little help. Insurgency and counterinsurgency, both often brutal, plague the region. The Indian government meanwhile does not face the reality of climate change. Parenti interviews a top climatologist Dr. Murari Lal and reports him as distraught: 'The political class are in total denial…They are thinking, 'Development first, then address the environment'.' It's a grim picture Parenti paints and not surprising to read his final comment that India should fight the Naxalite insurgency by adapting to climate change with economic redistribution, social justice and sustainable development.
His final focus is on Latin America. In Brazil he shuttles between the violent crime-ridden slums of Rio and the severely climate-stressed Northeast of the country, from where many of the slum-dwellers have perforce come. Once again it's not climate alone that the people of the Northeast struggle to deal with, but a nexus of social and political factors which have made it difficult for them to establish adequate and stable farming. Lula's attempted roll-back of neoliberalism and his economic redistribution efforts have helped, and Parenti sees interesting signs of hope on land owned by small farmers who are discovering green farming systems which work within the new climate-constrained limits. Land reform is climate adaptation, he comments.
Mexico, or at least the northern city of Juarez on which Parenti focuses, presents a grim picture. The economic and political history of the country is enough to account for the breakdown in social order which the violence in Juarez represents, and the fact that Mexico is now a social laboratory of radical free market orthodoxy only worsens its problems in Parenti's view. But climate change is also at work. He presents a climate refugee, a former fisherman he found gazing across the river at the US. 'The sea became red and all the fish just disappeared.' This happened at the time of the 1998 El Niño event. Parenti is well aware that it is impossible to say that a warmer globe causes any single weather event, and nowhere throughout the book does he do so. But he works from the broad correlations to discern the impacts of climate change among the problems bearing down on the stressed populations of which he writes.
Across the border from Juarez, Palenti introduces the reader to the land of walls and demagogues. He doesn't have to scratch around to find deeply disturbing material among those without understanding or concern for the desperate people seeking illegal entry into the US.
Palenti confronts his readers in rich developed countries with uncomfortable realities. We bear responsibilities, as is often all too painfully apparent as he sets out the histories of the peoples he writes about and points to the unfairness of the economic structures they have been subjected to. We certainly bear responsibilities for the climate impacts that have been introduced into the mix; the greenhouse gases are from our activity, not theirs.
What are we in the rich countries going to do in the face of the rising crises he describes, crises which will only worsen if we allow climate change to develop further? One possibility is that we turn to the politics of xenophobia and racism and build fortress societies while the rest of the world slips into collapse. Neofascist islands of relative stability in a sea of chaos, in his words. Not that it will work for long, but when one considers the ease with which we ignore the plight of the populations the book investigates and even blame the sufferers, it must be a real short-term prospect. All the more since short-term seems what we are best at. The other possibility, on which Parenti rests some hope, is that civilised society moves rapidly to the mitigation of climate change, for which we have the technology and the money albeit not as yet the political will, and that at the same time we address the social inequity which tolerates extremes of wealth and poverty.
Parenti is far from alone in coupling the mitigation both of climate change and of poverty. I frequently thought while reading his book of economist Nicholas Stern whose own book makes it clear from the start that combating climate change is inextricably linked with poverty reduction as the two greatest challenges of the century and that we shall succeed or fail on them together.

If It's Worth Doing, It's Worth Measuring
SupplyChainBrain
Georgia Southern, in partnership with the University of Tennessee, has completed its 18th annual study on trends and issues in transportation and logistics. Manrodt says the results show how quickly a changing economy can affect companies of all sizes. The gap between them, he says, has narrowed significantly over the years.
Another trend identified by the study is the growing awareness by companies of the need for detailed metrics to track supply-chain performance. "What we're starting to see," says Manrodt, "is senior management ... trying to understand what those metrics are and should be." The desire to monitor one's own performance, so prevalent in school, never really goes away. At the same time, "it's important for us to communicate what's critical ... to customers and suppliers. Let's manage to that."
Much of the interest being shown in metrics today remains at the talking stage. But Manrodt sees the beginnings of action, as companies strive to learn how well-defined performance measures can be deployed throughout their organizations and with supply-chain partners as well.
The mere act of outsourcing logistics won't necessarily achieve a company's goal to become more efficient in its global operations. If logistics providers are compensated solely according to the work they do, they might be tempted to perform services that aren't needed. To counter that tendency, Manrodt suggests a concept he calls "vested outsourcing." It involves customer and third-party logistics provider working closely together toward common goals, in a never-ending search for ways to improve their shared supply chain. A far-seeing 3PL might even agree to tie its profit to the results it obtains on behalf of the customer. For its part, the customer agrees not to dictate the precise steps that the provider must follow as part of the engagement, caring only about results based on specific performance metrics. In the process, the 3PL could reap even higher rewards down the line.
Such an approach remains rare in practice, of course, requiring an immense amount of trust among all players in the chain. And trust, says Manrodt, "is a scarce commodity today."

Gift of Julian and Hope Edison
© (year) Estate of Jean Dubuffet, Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris
Painted with heavy black outlines and primary colors, this cartoonish figure is one of many unique characters artist Jean Dubuffet designed for his performance "Coucou Bazar," which premiered in New York in 1973. In "Coucou Bazar," life-size sculptures were propelled by motors or manipulated by costumed performers. Named for its cap, or "casquette" in French, "Le Casquettador" was originally mounted on wheels that allowed it to be moved. It is uncertain whether it appeared onstage, as only some of Dubuffet's sculpted characters were ever used in productions.

Auckland Has A CHEESE Food Truck!
By Natasha Van Der Laan - 12 Aug 2016
Let's be honest, there's nothing better than cheese—especially when it's melted into an oozing, hot mess. So, when The Urban List caught wind that there's a new CHEESE food truck in Auckland we, quite simply, lost our shit.
That's right, folks. Melted raclette cheese has made its way to Auckland and it's being served in a glorious fashion out of a bright red food truck by the name of Melt.
If you're a bit behind with food trends, racelette is a type of cheese that originates in Switzerland. The cheese usually comes in a massive wheel and is heated until it becomes delightfully melty.
The oozy cheese is then scraped off and served with the likes of potatoes, gherkins and pickled onions—delish, right?
Husband and wife duo Jay and Claudine Avante are giving Auckland a taste of the deliciousness with their brand-spanking new food truck, Melt.
The friendly folk are regulars at Auckland Night Markets but have plans to take over the city, one festival at a time. Their recent appearance at Street Eats festival saw them whipping up cheese goodness for the masses all day long.
Melt dish up a range of cheese-laden dishes including fried potatoes with gherkins, pearl onions and bacon.
They're also mixing things up with a meatball sub and our personal favourite: cheese steak. The dish stars a juicy cut of sirloin steak that's accompanied with gravy and—of course—cheese. Be sure to have napkins at the ready because it's literally oozing with cheese, sauce and all things tasty. #Foodporn, much?
But it's not just any old cheese, Melt searched the country far and wide to find best cheese possible. They've settled on a Manuka smoked cheddar that boasts a nutty, bacon taste—and yes, it's amazing as it sounds.
Hunt down Melt at your nearest Night Market and keep an eye out for them at festivals and markets across town. You can keep up with them on Facebook or Instagram, too.
Cheers for bringing the people what they want, Melt. You're on to a good thing.

Q: Font-awesome icons trimmed corners with border-radius 50% on desktop safari I am trying to create a circle around my font-awesome share icons. I decided to go with a css approach, because I could not figure out how to do other approaches with React FontAwesome

<FacebookShareButton
    className='m-1' //bootstrap margin 1
    url={siteUrl}
>
    <FontAwesomeIcon className='faCircle' size="2x" icon={faFacebookF} />
</FacebookShareButton>
.faCircle {
    display: inline-block;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px #888;
    padding: 0.25em 0.3em;
    background-color: transparent;
    width: 1.2em !important;
    height: 1.2em;
    overflow: visible;
}

My code produces the font awesome icons, but the border-radius of 50% ends up trimming off the sides of the icons.
(Effect is most noticeable on LinkedIn icon)

If I remove the margin, the icons get bigger, but are still trimmed by the border-radius
This issue happens on Safari, but not on chrome or firefox. On firefox, the icons appeared fully if I set the width big enough

UPDATE (with temporary hacky solution)
In safari I have to do some really finicky stuff in order to stop white padding from overlaying the icon inside the circle. I have to specify really specific widths and heights to prevent this and these width and heights aren't even the same value. If anyone could post a less hacky solution that this one that would be appreciated.

      <FacebookShareButton
        className="m-md-1 m-1"
        url={siteUrl}
      >
        <div className='faCircleContainer'>
          <FontAwesomeIcon className='faCircle' size="2x" icon={faFacebookF} />
        </div>
      </FacebookShareButton>
.faCircle {
    width: 1.2em !important;
    padding: 0.1em;
}

.faCircleContainer {
    padding: 0.25em 0.3em;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #888;
}

.react-share__ShareButton{
    padding: 5px !important;
}

A: You should not style FontAwesomeIcon component/icon directly. Paddings and border-radius are disturbing actual icon. You should create a separate wrapper for each icon and apply your 'faCircle' class to this wrapper. So I believe in your case, moving class from FontAwesomeIcon  to FacebookShareButton should work.
Here's screenshot from font-awesome page, when I edited it directly by styling 'info-icons' wrapper.

.info-icons {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 50%;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid;
}

Let Karl know that you think this is a critical election, because you know as a citizen that if the Bush team can behave with the level of deadly incompetence it has exhibited in Iraq — and then get away with it by holding on to the House and the Senate — it means our country has become a banana republic. It means our democracy is in tatters because it is so gerrymandered, so polluted by money, and so divided by professional political hacks that we can no longer hold the ruling party to account.
It means we're as stupid as Karl thinks we are.
I, for one, don't think we're that stupid. Next Tuesday we'll see.
Now that the facts have come out on the latest smear on John Kerry the biggest question remaining is why this was ever a story to begin with.
Let's look at the progression. Kerry makes comment. Right wingers distort comment to attack Kerry. Press repeats right wing attacks–so much for the myth of a liberal news media. I could see why journalists might take a look at this story. The manner in which Kerry went off script does leave open some question as to what he meant until clarified. On the other hand, those attacking him are basically the same people with a long track record of distorting Kerry's statements to smear him. You'd think the reporters would learn by now (if they care).
If we had a news media which actually reported, rather than repeating what each side says, considering this to be balance, the matter could have been dispensed with quickly. If they weren't sure what Kerry meant, they could have simply ask him. They'd quickly find it was just one of many jokes he'd been making about George Bush on the stump. John Kerry is a far more reliable source as to what he meant to say than right wing attackers.
There can be no doubt that this was a comment on George Bush, not the troops. It is so clear that the right wingers determined to continue to smear Kerry are now resorting to rather lame arguments such as that the reporters who reviewed the prepared text are lying. The right wingers are also twisting statements made by John Kerry in 1972 to be an explanation for this statement made in 2006!
Fortunately even some conservatives realize they have absolutely nothing on Kerry here and it is best to drop this attack. I previously quoted Bill O'Reilly as saying he doesn't believe "believe John Kerry meant to demean any American military member." National Review editor Jay Nordlinger disagrees with everything John Kerry says or thinks, is offended that he was insulting George Bush, but has "no doubt" that Kerry was referring to Bush and not the troops. Andrew Sullivan has "been thoroughly persuaded by John Derbyshire and Christopher Hitchens that John Kerry's words were indeed a botched joke." He was especially convinced by the prepared text as reported by Jon Stewart. While Stewart was certainly not the only one to report on the prepared text, once again fake reporter Stewart out-performed many real reporters.
The president, in other words, has just proved that he is utterly unhinged from reality, in a state of denial truly dangerous for the world. He needs an intervention. Think of this election as an intervention against a government in complete denial and capable of driving the West off a cliff. You can't merely abstain now. Bush just raised the stakes. And he must be stopped.

Previous studies have documented tolerance to glyphosate by certain algae but data available are insufficient for generalizations. This study was partially funded by university funds in support of B. Dabney's MS thesis research. Results showed that glyphosate and GBHs stimulate growth the harmful alga, Prymnesium parvum, at environmentally relevant concentrations. Management of P. parvum blooms may therefore need to consider the potential contribution to bloom formation by glyphosate-contaminated runoff in areas where GBHs are being used or by the direct aquatic application of GBHs for the control of nuisance macrophytes.

Today, as a township or borough resident, you can go to a municipal meeting, speak out about what's right and wrong, and have a real and lasting impact on what happens in your community.
Tomorrow, however, that might not be the case. And the sad thing is, many Pennsylvanians aren't aware that something they value, and possibly take for granted, could be snatched away. And that's their right to be heard, loud and clear, by their local elected leaders.
State lawmakers recently held hearings on two serious threats to our democratic way of life, House Bill 2431 and Senate Bill 1357, which would radically reshape our commonwealth by snuffing out townships and boroughs.
The most onerous measure, House Bill 2431, is nothing short of a slap in the face to our Founding Fathers. Proposed by Rep. Thomas Caltagirone of Berks County, the bill would make Pennsylvania's community-based system of governing unconstitutional — unconstitutional! — and replace it with something he says is better: an out-of-sight mega-bureaucracy overseen by the county.
In protest, supervisors in hundreds of townships have rallied and passed resolutions that oppose the bills.
Despite this grassroots uprising — isn't that what America is all about? — Caltagirone and his fellow "do-gooders" continue to stand firm on their bigger-is-better platform, a house of cards built on whimsy, not fact, and claim they know what is best for Pennsylvania.
Their argument hinges on the debatable premise that the commonwealth should follow the lead of a handful of other states, bulldoze its patchwork of "inefficient" and "redundant" municipalities, and create a landscape of bigger, supposedly more efficient governments.
But we don't have to look beyond our borders for examples of the bigger-government model. We've got them right here in Pennsylvania. Look at places like Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Reading, and Allentown. They're larger, for sure, but are they more efficient? More responsive? More affordable?
But if you're searching for an example of a better-government model, look no farther than the nearest township. There, you'll find hardworking, fiscally responsible men and women who work together, do more with less, and are frugal with tax dollars. They're also deeply committed to preserving Pennsylvania's long-standing tradition of government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" in an age where big boxes (think Home Depot) rule.
But are big boxes the solution? Maybe for grocery stores and discount retailers, but not for government, where hands-on, within-reach leadership — the vision of William Penn and our nation's founding fathers — still makes as much sense today as it did hundreds of years ago.
Of course, critics will say that township supervisors are protesting the likes of House Bill 2431 because they want to preserve their jobs and power. But self-preservation is not their motivation.
Townships, instead, are determined to protect something they know their residents hold sacred, and that's their fundamental right to govern themselves locally.
Why, I ask, would anyone want it any other way?
Author's note: If you value grassroots governing, please call or e-mail your state representatives and senators and voice your opposition to House Bill 2431 and Senate Bill 1357. Lawmakers want — and need — to hear from their voters. Therefore, the more voices that protest this legislation, the better the chances of protecting and preserving Pennsylvania's local governments along with the township way of life for many years to come.

This week's theme on SHOPPING OUR STASH is "Buttons and Bows." I **think** that theme should be pretty much self explanatory right??? Be sure to visit the blog for all the details on this challenge and to show my SOS teammies some crafty love.
Great job Donna, love the white on Kraft and those pennants are great. of course the buttons and bow are great too.
I like this a lot -- the pennants plus white buttons and ink look perfect on the kraft cardbase!
What a pretty, simple card with a WOW of a sentiment. That really does stand out nicely on the Kraft. the banners add just the right touch of color. I might be sad I've sold ALL OF THESE THINGS when I purged last year.
I love your card, the bunting & buttons go so well!
Thanks for stopping by my blog & for your lovely comment!
Not sure which I love more, the sentiment or the banner. Super card!

She has the sweetest personality and I just feel like I know her already.. like we are have been friends forever.. She is up more during the day now so I am getting to spend more time with her. I never knew what it was like to have a baby that sleeps more than 1-2 hour stretches. She is in her bassinet at night still next to my bed and I have been letting my hubby give her a bottle so when we start going on date nights she is used to taking a bottle ( and not nursing to sleep) Breckon would have never taken a bottle or paci so this is such a nice break and I am really trying to establish a routine with her.. Its so different after you have your second baby your so much more sure of yourself and trust all of your mommy instincts. I feel like you know what to expect and going from 1-2 has been SO easy. She holds her head so good .. smiles... coos .. reaches for things ...and loves her daddys kisses.

Honestly, I love my job. It is sooooo much fun! And there is sooo much cuteness!
Most photographers want to heavily plan their shoots. And I get that. That way you can control the outcome.
But would I ever have guessed that big sis Ella would have multiple princess outfits to change in and out of?
Well, I guess I should have guessed yes but I didn't. It certainly was not part of the plan. But I'm so glad we let things unfold naturally.
Ella even made a crown for her baby brother, Remy.
I love having these sort of family heirlooms around as well. The wicker bassinet once held their mama when she was just a baby.
And we did get SOME downtime between all the toddler craziness!
I'm a photographer and filmmaker located in Leominster, MA but I travel all throughout New England.


Glimpse Despise not your mother when she is old.
Yes, my dad misread a sign in Hagerstown today [Proverbs 23:22b].
I woke up a bunch of times this morning but didn't feel underslept today.
The memorial service went well. I was totally detached re: all the stuff that might go wrong, and everything went fine. This service so outside my mother's culture included poetry by Maya Angelou and Walt Whitman, a rendition of Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" and a recording of Paul Robeson singing "All Through the Night," and sing-alongs of "Turn, Turn, Turn" (vv. 1 & 2) and the Marine Core Hymn (vv. 1 & 3).
I think I ate enough food.
Back at the house tonight, Barbara K. was complimenting Kathe's hair -- which apparently she perms and not everyone knew it's naturally straight -- which led to my mom talking about how complete strangers will compliment my haircut, and Barbara K. said something about "a straight person's hair," and I knew what she meant, but I said, "I'm not actually a straight person -- though yes, my hair is naturally straight."
I helped put together the photo board for the memorial service.
I helped carry things in and out of multiple cars, I prompted a running of a dishwasher load, I helped repack leftovers from the memorial service.
A problem with joy sadhana as update is that it's challenging to find a way to include notes like, "Uncle Paul -- who's a professional guitarist -- broke his pinky finger." I'm glad all of "my" family were able to come, though it would have been nice to see the extended family (we haven't all been together since the family reunion my mom put together the summer after I graduated college -- so 6.5 years ago; cousin Sean turned 15 last month). There's talk of doing something this summer. Grandma Kathe hopes to be out of the Hagerstown house and moved up to Binghamton by then, though I don't have her optimism.

Global Warming Lawsuit Against
U.S. Agencies Passes Court Test
SAN FRANCISCO, California,
August 25, 2005 (ENS) - A federal
judge has decided that two
environmental groups and four
cities have the right to sue the
federal government based on
allegations that financial
investments made by government
agencies may have harmed the
United States by increasing the
intensity of global warming.
The ruling Tuesday by Judge
Jeffrey White of the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of
California is the first time that a
federal court has granted legal
standing for a lawsuit exclusively
alleging injury from global warming
and challenging the federal
government's failure to evaluate
the impacts of its actions on the
Earth's climate and U.S. citizens.

US Out of Iraq,
Bring the Troops Home Now!
Washington DC, September 24"\ 2005
By Eric Brooks (eric/?:.digjtal.oxplorati.ons,orgJ.
Hundreds of thousands of
people from all over the country
are converging on Washington,
DC for three days of peaceful
protest and lobbying starting
September 24,h, 2005 demanding "End the War on Iraq" bring
all US troops home today. United

With over 25,000 Iraqi civilians
killed, more than 1,800 US
service woman and men dead,
and more than 15,000 US
wounded, the war must end
today. There is no good resulting
from the US presence in Iraq, so
there is no good that can result
from continuing that presence or
not by trying to "win" the
subjugation of the Iraqis to US
foreign policy and economic
interests. The Indiana Peace and
Justice Network (IPJN)
(http://www.ipjn.org) which Indianapolis Peace & Justice Center

struggle for truth and to end the
way in the face of her son, Army
•Specialist Casey Sheehan's
tragic death while serving in Iraq.
Cindy will be at the 9/24 Rally to
continue to speak out against the
lies and hypocrisy that are the
foundation upon which this
immoral and senseless war was
justified from day one. Please
take a moment to get your
reservation in today, and help
make the voices of peace ring
out too loudly for those in power
to ignore on September 24. Help
end the war in Iraq. Make your

The case, filed in August
2002 by Friends of the Earth,
Greenpeace, and- four cities,
charges that the Export-Import
Bank (Ex-lm) and the Oversees
Private Investment Corporation
(OPIC) have provided financial
assistance to oil and other fossil
fuel projects without first
evaluating the projects' global
warming impacts to the United
The unprecedented lawsuit
alleges   that   OPIC   and   Ex-lm
illegally provided over $32 billion in
financing  and  insurance  for  oil
fields,   pipelines   and   coal-fired
power plants over the past  10
years   without   assessing   their
contribution to global warming, or
their     impact    on     the     U.S.
/tronment as required under the
itional Environmental Policy Act
JEPA).
The cities of Oakland, Areata
ind Santa Monica, California and
Boulder, Colorado are parties to
the lawsuit that the judge ruled
may now proceed.
OPIC, an independent
government corporation, offers
insurance and loan guarantees for
projects in developing countries.
Ex-lm, an independent
governmental agency and wholly-
owned government corporation,
provides financing support for
exports from the United States.
Many of the projects funded
by OPIC and Ex-lm are power
plants which emit greenhouses
gases that the groups and cities
allege cause global warming.
The cities and groups argued
that the National Environmental
Policy Act, which requires
environmental assessments of
proposed development projects in
the United States, should apply to
projects overseas financed by U.S.

government agencies.
They contend that U.S. law
should apply because those
projects are producing greenhouse
gases which add to global
warming, contributing to the
degradation of the U.S.
environment and harming the
members of Greenpeace and
Friends of the Earth and residents
of the four cities.
The judge denied the motion
for summary judgement by OPIC
President and CEO Peter Watson
and then Ex-lm Vice Chairman
and First Vice President Phillip
Merrill, explaining that a summary
judgment procedure is used to
identify and dispose of factually
unsupported claims. His ruling
means that the environmental
coalition's claims deserve to be
heard in court and judged on their
merits.
The government agencies'
claims that the case should be
dismissed because the Plaintiffs
lack standing, because OPIC and
Ex-lm have not taken any action

Invalidity Pension is a weekly payment to people who cannot work because of a long-term illness or disability and are covered by social insurance (PRSI). At 66, you transfer automatically to the State Pension (Contributory) at the full rate. Invalidity Pension is taxable. You are entitled to a Free Travel Pass. You may also get extra social welfare benefits, for example, the Household Benefits Package.
Since 1 December 2017, self-employed people who have paid sufficient class S PRSI contributions are entitled to Invalidity Pension.
Only class A, E, H and S contributions count for Invalidity Pension.
*Note that class S contributors don't qualify for credits.
The last complete contribution year is the year before your claim and the second-last complete contribution year is the one before that. For example, if you claim Invalidity Pension in 2018, the last complete contribution year is 2017 and the second last complete contribution year is 2016.
You cannot use voluntary contributions to satisfy the PRSI conditions for Invalidity Pension.
On 1 December 2017, Invalidity Pension was extended to the self-employed. You can read detailed FAQs from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP).
If you were previously insurably employed in a country covered by EU Regulations or in a country with which Ireland has a bilateral social security agreement and you have paid at least one full rate PRSI contribution in Ireland, you may combine your insurance record in that country with your Irish PRSI contributions to help you qualify for Invalidity Pension.
More information is available in our document about combining your social insurance contributions from abroad.
Invalidity Pension is a payment for insured people who are permanently incapable of work because of an illness or incapacity.
Be permanently incapable of work (in certain cases of very serious illness or disability, you can transfer directly from another social welfare payment or from your job to Invalidity Pension).
A Deciding Officer of the DEASP will examine your claim and determine your entitlement based on the qualifying conditions outlined above.
Since 13 February 2012, Partial Capacity Benefit has replaced the previous exemption arrangements where people on Invalidity Pension could get permission to work part-time (known as an exemption) for rehabilitative or therapeutic purposes and keep their full social welfare payment. There is no requirement that the work a person does while on Partial Capacity Benefit has to be for rehabilitative or therapeutic purposes.
If you are on Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension and want to do a training course, you do not go onto Partial Capacity Benefit. You apply to the Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension section, as appropriate.
If you want to do a Community Employment scheme you apply in the normal way.
*Qualified adults who were over 66 before 2 January 2014 can continue to get a higher rate.
You may get an increase in your payment for an adult dependant and any child dependants you may have. You cannot claim an Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) with your Invalidity Pension if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant has an income of over €400 a week. You get a half-rate IQC if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant earns between €310 and €400 a week. This only applies to claims made since 5 July 2012.
Invalidity Pension is a taxable source of income and should be reported to your tax office as soon as your payment starts. You can contact Revenue for more information.
To apply fill in an Invalidity Pension application form (INV1) (pdf). You can also get a form from your Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office. You may qualify for Supplementary Welfare Allowance while you are waiting for your claim to be processed.
If you have been getting Illness Benefit for a period of 468 days, you will be medically assessed for continued entitlement to Illness Benefit and possible entitlement to Invalidity Pension. If, as a result of this assessment, it is considered that you may be entitled to Invalidity Pension, an application form (INV2) will be sent to you. When they get the completed form a Deciding Officer will examine the claim and determine eligibility for Invalidity Pension.
This does not stop you from applying for Invalidity Pension in the normal way using application form (INV1).
You can get help to fill in your form from your local Citizens Information Centre, Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office.
If you think you have been wrongly refused Invalidity Pension or you are unhappy about a decision of a Deciding Officer, you can appeal this decision.
Partial Capacity Benefit is a scheme to support people on Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension who want to return to work.

C > CASIO > PV-7
PV-7
This MSX system has only 8 KB and one cartridge slot, the minimum required by the MSX standard. It is the first MSX computer conceived by Casio and was marketed as an initiation machine.
Thankfully an expansion unit (KB-7) was available and added two cartridge slots and more memory (8 + 8 = 16 KB) to the PV-7.
There was a small drawing program in ROM. The chicklet keyboard is very poor and to small to do anything with it. There are big arrow keys on the right hand side of the keyboard arranged in circle. The whole pad is called "Joypad 1" and emulates a joystick inserted in port #1. The two big blue keys "TR1" and "TR2" on the left hand side of the keyboard are the two fire buttons! Notice that there are also "classic" arrow keys at the top of the keyboard...
The PV-7 was followed by the PV-16 which had 16 KB RAM, as the 8 KB of the PV-7 were not enough to run most of the MSX software.
NAME PV-7
YEAR October 1984
SCORE 8 KB
SIZE / WEIGHT 307 x 210 x 33 mm / 1560g
I/O PORTS 2 joystick connectors, cartdridge slot, tape-recorder plug, video output (cinch), mono audio output, RF TV plug, expansion bus, printer interface
POWER SUPPLY External power supply DC10V (AC100V, 50/60 Hz, 8w)

Why, when I worked 45 minutes away from home did it seem easier to update my blog than when I work 15 minutes away? Every day I think, "I really need to blog about that." Then I get home, have dinner, get the boys in the tub, get things ready for school the next day, get my clothes ready for work, sit down and fall asleep.
These children were much easier to care for when they were babies and couldn't do anything for themselves. I'm serious. And my goodness we didn't know how lucky we were that they couldn't talk!! Saturday was the first day that David was clearly feeling better. I suspect he probably had the flu, as he slept for 16 hours, two nights in a row, after sleeping/lounging on the couch all day. Saturday he was back to his old (CHATTY) self. And Henry was sick. He had a mini-version of a stomach issue. And it could possibly have been a bit self-induced. And a stomach issue in a child who has had some major, major pooping issue in the past? Notsomuch fun. And super stressful for the mama. Thankfully, that seems to have *fingers crossed* resolved itself.
Jack keeps saying "ont bed, ont be bed" Translation: I want a bed. I want a big bed. Like a moron, we got his toddler bed down from the attic, and I borrowed my parents' crib mattress for it. We put the bed in his room, but kept his crib up. Yeah, like that's going to work. He's laid on the bed for a bit, but I left him in there for 5 minutes (perhaps even less) and all hell broke loose. I could hear him riffling through things and opened the door to find him in sitting on the floor with five shirts on around his waist and backwards, pawing through the diaper trash can. Um, disgusting. We got that mess cleaned up, washed his hands, peeled back the layers of shirts, and swiftly put him to bed in his crib. Zipped up safely in his tent. Last night we read his books on the toddler bed, then went to bed in the crib. Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
Chris is still liking school. Except his English class, which (no surprise) would be my fave. I almost died when he told me that he had a paper due on Thursday that he hadn't handed in yet. Almost died.
Work is going well. It's constantly busy, which is good. Our clients are always interesting, and it's never boring.
Speaking of work, I'm off to get ready. Have a great day!
so glad you are blogging! I have missed you!!!
