Harvard, MIT Sued Over Lack of Closed Captioning Online
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb 12, 2015
Advocates for the deaf sued Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday, saying the universities failed to provide closed captioning for online courses, podcasts and other educational programs.
The National Association for the Deaf filed class action lawsuits in federal court, saying Harvard and MIT discriminated against the hearing impaired and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The association said much of Harvard's and MIT's online content was not captioned, was inaccurately captioned or was unintelligibly captioned, making it inaccessible. Advocates for the deaf say they're not seeking a financial windfall but rather permanent injunctions against the universities mandating that all their online materials include closed captioning, interpretive text displayed onscreen.
"Just as buildings without ramps bar people who use wheelchairs, online content without captions excludes individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing," said the lawsuit against Harvard, which is similar to the one against MIT.
Officials at Harvard and MIT, both based in Cambridge, said they're committed to making their courses and online materials accessible to everyone.
Harvard spokesman Jeff Neal said that new federal rules that will "provide much-needed guidance in this area" are expected to be proposed this year by the U.S. Department of Justice and that Harvard will follow the new rules.
"Expanding access to knowledge and making online learning content accessible is of vital importance to Harvard and to educational institutions across the country," Neal said.
MIT is including captioning in all new online content, a spokeswoman said.
Harvard, which has about 21,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and MIT, which as about 11,000, offer an array of content online for free. They also are co-founders of edX, which offers students worldwide dozens of free online courses from them and several other universities.
Attorney Bill Lann Lee, who represents the National Association for the Deaf, told The New York Times that Harvard and MIT have been leaders in putting college content online and that a change in their practices would affect other universities' practices.
Christine Griffin, executive director of the Disability Law Center in Boston, said she hoped that would be the case.
"Our hope is that this lawsuit will change not only Harvard's and MIT's practices but set an example for other universities to follow," Griffin told The Boston Globe.

We All Need To Eat
Alex Leslie
We All Need to Eat, is a new collection of linked stories from award-winning author Alex Leslie that revolve around Soma, a young Queer woman in Vancouver, chronicling her attempts to come to grips with herself, her family and her sexuality.
Set in different moments falling between Soma's childhood and her late thirties, each story—bold and varying in its approach to narrative—presents a sea change in Soma's life, from Soma becoming addicted to weightlifting while going through a break-up in her thirties; to her complex relationship with her younger brother after she leaves home revealed over the course of a long family chicken dinner; to Soma's struggles to cope with her mother's increasing instability by becoming fixated on buying her a lamp for seasonal affective disorder; and the far-reaching impact and lasting reverberations of Soma's family's experience of the Holocaust as it scrapes up against the rise of Alt Right media. Lyrical, gritty and atmospheric, Soma's stories refuse to shy away from the contradictions inherent to human experience, exploring one young person's journey through mourning, escapism, and the search for nourishment.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Alex Leslie's rhythmic short-story collection creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of queer Vancouverite Soma. Soma's stories include growing up with a mentally ill mother, coping with a friend's suicide, and dealing with heartbreak by oversharing and exercising compulsively; we also learn about the character's grandmother's experience as a Jewish woman living in Canada during the Holocaust. Leslie gives Soma a spiky, specific voice, making We All Need to Eat ring very, very true. This is what life in our often-hostile, divisive, and always-on digital world feels like.

Anonymity Fails?: As Michelin Inspectors Head to Twitter, Will Their Identities Remain Secret?
As Michelin Inspectors Head to Twitter, Will Their Identities Remain Secret?
To the joy of foodies and chagrin of restaurateurs, Michelin inspectors are now on Twitter. Michelin Guides have always been renowned for not only their clout in the food and beverage world, but their anonymity. Accordingly, the Michelin Inspectors' Twitter migration has social media mavens wondering if their graduation to Web 2.0 will thwart the very principles that the Michelin Guides are founded upon.
Although the Michelin Inspectors' Twitter usernames are vague (@MichelinInspectorsNY and @MichelinInspectorsSF), anyone who's ever used Twitter knows how long anonymity really lasts. Ryan Lynch, the man behind the idea for Michelin, told the Guardian, '"With technology being what it is, and the advancements in being able to locate people, we open ourselves up for a potential chance of that anonymity being broken, and at the end of the day that can't happen."

… launching a politically-motivated lawsuit to end the Affordable Care Act.
Mike DeWine's lawsuit not only threatened Ohioans' access to health insurance, but it wasted taxpayer dollars.
Repealing the Affordable Care Act — and with it, Ohio's Medicaid expansion — could cost Ohio more than 81,000 jobs, jeopardize nearly 1 million Ohioans' health care coverage, and leave more than 220,000 Ohioans with mental illness or substance use disorders without insurance.
Mike DeWine talks out of both sides of his mouth when it comes to the Medicaid expansion.
… Now, DeWine has FLIP-FLOPPED again and says he'll keep it with changes.
… One thing is clear: We can't trust Mike DeWine, and his political opportunism is a threat to Medicaid.
Ohio's Medicaid expansion has helped hundreds of thousands of Ohioans gain access to health coverage, including coverage for opioid addiction treatment.
Repealing the Affordable Care Act and ending Medicaid expansion could put 1 in 4 Ohio hospitals at risk of closure. Rural hospitals would be hit particularly hard.

Santa Maria Arabona is a Cistercian abbey in Abruzzo, in central Italy. It is located at Manoppello in the frazione also called Santa Maria Arabona. In Roman times the area was sacred to the goddess of fertility and virginity Bona Dea.

Architecture

The most important of the abbey buildings still extant is its church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, whose construction began in 1208 with the transept and the apse. The edifice remained partly unfinished, due to financial and political troubles within the order.

The church is built on the Latin Cross plan, with the nave ending in an apse housing the high altar. The aisles support the ceiling. The interior is very sober, apart from the richly decorated tabernacle and Paschal candle in Gothic style. The choir contains frescoes by Antonio Martini di Atri dated 1377.

The church, which was restored in the 1950s, is surrounded by a park from which the rest of the abbey is accessed.

Whimsy told me my tummy will get frostbite, but seeing as its a thousand degrees HOT down here, I am not too worried. Mixing the charming oversized wrap coat from Emery, with the fantastic boots by Pure Poison for the bases of this look.
The boots with all their parts texture change with the fantastic hud when using the fatpack, made it possible to colour co-ordinate them together perfectly. Then with the addition of the RGB hud to the SLink bodies..I was able to select the layer my leggings are on and tint them the little extra they needed to be a proper grey for the pic. Just don't forget to take the tint off, or you will end up thinking things are broken in the future.
This ready for the day look is great. everything about it makes it easy on the eye and easy to take into any setting, that is what you want from your wardrobe.
Loving this long long hair by Exile, it is so wonderful how it cascades down the back. It has that smooshy rub rub flick thing going on at the front too (girls know what I mean) to get it out of the face.
You still have time to visit Collabor88 before the round ends, so make sure you grab all the goodies.

Q: Android app got suspended on Google Play Store on first publish I'm trying to publish my Android app on the Google Play store, but it got suspended due to a policy violation, specifically:

Issue: Violation of Webviews and Affiliate Spam policy
  We don't allow apps whose primary purpose is to drive affiliate traffic to a website or provide a webview of a website without permission from the website owner or administrator.

A bit of information about my app:

*

*this is the first time I'm publishing the app, it was never published before

*i stated in the description that it is the official app for my website, also providing a link to it

*it's a hybrid app, built using Cordova and Angular, which I created from scratch forking my website's codebase and making some changes

*it is indeed a WebView, but the website's codebase has been completely repackaged into the app, and there's no direct link to the website

So my questions are: where do you think the actual root cause of the issue is, and what would be the best course of action for me to have my app published? As far as I can see I have these options available:

*

*Republish the app with a different package and app names, but if that gets suspended again, I'm worried about losing my developer account permanently

*File an appeal, and provide proof of ownership of the website (if that's even the root cause), although they don't specify what kind of proof they might be looking for. I have a print of Google Search console domain verification, and several screenshot from my hosting dashboard on Firebase, but I wonder if that's acceptable proof of ownership

Thanks for any advice, I'm fairly new to publishing apps and I'm worried about doing it the wrong way, or worse, getting my account permanently deleted.

A: Anyone can do the same for your site and publish an app. I got my app suspended some time ago too since I hadn't gone through the policy of webview. You have the solution with you

File an appeal, and provide proof of ownership of the website (if that's even the root cause), although they don't specify what kind of proof they might be looking for. I have a print of Google Search console domain verification, and several screenshots from my hosting dashboard on Firebase, but I wonder if that's acceptable proof of ownership

This way, Google will be able to realize that you are not an affiliate trying to make more income by redirecting users to a certain link for accessing the website

While I'm all for the DC movie and television universes being two distinct entities in order to allow creative freedom for both, there is the frustration that comes along with having certain characters being off limits (just ask Deathstroke). Naturally, the big screen side of things gets first dibs, so we're often left in situations where global crises mean that the Trinity doesn't show up to assist the heroes of the Arrowverse. Yes, I know it's baffling at times, but we've learned how to make do.
Still, you have to admit that quite the shared universe has grown from Arrow since it first debuted in 2012 as a rather grounded show focusing on an urban vigilante. And in that time, several spinoffs have been birthed, thus allowing for a myriad of comic book fantasies to be made reality.
Even so, there are glaring omissions like those that were hinted at earlier. Sure, we've seen Superman make a few memorable appearances over on Supergirl, but Big Blue has in no way been a permanent fixture – and none of us know when he'll make his way to National City again.
By now, you're probably wondering why they'd wave these steaks in front of our noses. Well, the simple reason is the very same one that leads to them serving up great television: They're fans just like us. And even if they can't play with certain toys, that doesn't mean they won't admire them on the shelf.
As always, we'll never say never. Either way, we'll be tuning in when Arrow returns with new episodes on Thursday, January 18 on The CW.


For about 9 years, NTCI has had a partnership with a school in Denmark called Rysensteen Gymnasium. Each year, they send a group of students on a one week exchange. In September of this year, a group of Danish students arrived in Canada and immersed themselves in Canadian culture by visiting the McMichael Art Gallery, visiting an Aboriginal reserve, and coming to some of our classes at NT. It was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to connect with students around the world.
Over the March Break, it was NT's turn to visit Denmark. A group of 29 North Toronto CI and Bloor CI students, accompanied by Mrs. Pady, Ms. Bilmer, and former NT teacher Mr. McNaughton, left school on March 7th and boarded a school bus to the airport.
Upon arrival in Copenhagen, the Canadians were taken to Rysensteen by one of the school's teachers to greet their Danish counterparts. After a quick tour of the neighborhood, everyone enjoyed a group dinner before heading home.
On the first full day in Copenhagen, NT and Bloor students were paired with a second year class from Rysensteen, who will be visiting Canada in September 2017. The Canadians followed the Danes to their morning classes, which consisted of Religion, Danish, and French. In the afternoon the whole group went on a long walking tour of the city and got the chance to climb up a historic church to see a bird's eye view of Copenhagen. The most interesting part of the day for many students, however, was the opportunity to compare the vastly different school systems in Denmark and Canada. In Denmark, gap years are encouraged, some of their exams are taken orally, and the kind of homework (and the amount) they receive each night is very different.
The following day, the Canadians left their Danes at school and travelled to Papirøen, which is roughly translated to "Paper Island." It is a big warehouse that used to be a paper printing factory but is now a place for vendors to sell international street food. After getting lunch, the group travelled to the Danish Opera House for a full tour of the facilities. It is an incredible architectural masterpiece, and the whole group was shocked by the realization that so few buildings like this one exist in Canada.
The following day was reserved for a day trip to Louisiana, which is a museum of modern art. Everyone enjoyed the exhibits and the grounds, which are a work of art themselves.
The last day was reserved for city exploration in small groups without the Danes, as they had to prepare for a math exam and catch up on school work. Many enjoyed canal tours and walking around the main shopping area of Copenhagen.
In the evening the Danes and Canadians met up and walked over to a repurposed church for a "goodbye dinner", followed by a concert given by the Danish Girl's Choir.
Everyone met at 7 am the next morning at the central train station, where the group said a final goodbye to their Danes and headed to the airport to travel to Paris. Upon arrival, the Canadians enjoyed a guided tour of the Louvre, where they saw many classical pieces of art in person.
The following day, a tour guide took the group on a walking tour of the city which included Notre Dame, The Luxembourg Gardens, and the famous Eiffel Tower.
A massive thank you goes out to everyone who made this trip happen - thank you to the Rysensteen teachers and administration for planning amazing activities, thank you to all of the students who went on the trip and helped make wonderful memories, thank you to the wonderful families who hosted us while in Copenhagen, and thank you to Ms Bilmer, Mr McNaughton, and Mrs Pady for giving up their March break to take us.


Arizona is not a great offensive team at the best of times. With Nick Schmaltz, Christian Dvorak and Michael Grabner, among others, out of the lineup, generating chances on a consistent basis was going to be even more of a challenge. That proved to be the case as Calgary absolutely smothered Arizona's attack and made life as easy as possible on Mike Smith.
In better than 52 minutes of 5v5 play, the Flames gave up 14 chances. Just four of those were high-danger, which is the 2nd lowest total of the season. The lone exception came in a 2-0 win over Minnesota where the Flames gave up three high-danger looks – and that game featured 10 fewer minutes of 5v5 play.
Regardless of how little firepower is on the other side, the Flames still deserve a lot of credit for the defensive effort they put forward. I mean, it's kind of hard to hold an NHL team fighting for a wild-card spot to one quality chance every 13 minutes.
We all know the saying about your best players needing to be your best players to have success. Well, that was the case last night – as it has been all season long.
The Flames were playing from ahead for the majority of the game. Their stars didn't get regular workloads in terms of ice time. And yet they still piled up the points.
Norris front-runner, but certainly not all-star caliber defenseman, Mark Giordano scored a couple goals – one of which was an absolute laser – and added an assist while leading the defense core in Corsi For%.
Johnny Gaudreau recorded a goal, a beautiful assist from behind the net, a team-leading five shots, and consistently made something out of nothing.
Sean Monahan banged one in on the doorstep (what else is new?) and picked up the primary assist on Gaudreau's goal.
Matthew Tkachuk continued to show he's as capable of scoring goals as he is creating them by burying a pair on the doorstep to push his total to 23 through 47 games.
And the list goes on. All of their big guns came to play and the score reflected that.
Smith stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced and was screened completely on the only shot that beat him. In other words, there were no soft goals he was clearly at fault for. That's not often the case. Yes, the Flames made life easy on Smith. Yes, there were some uneasy moments along the way (net front scrambles, shots off the post, etc.) even when the puck stayed out. But at the end of the day, he got the job done. It was a respectable performance for a guy who really needed it.
He picked up his 1st career assist on the opening goal of the game and threatened to score his 1st goal on a few occasions. Mangiapane generated two or three *really* good chances around the net. He didn't convert on any of them, of course, but the encouraging thing is they were there. Calgary's bottom-6 has been pretty inconsistent offensively this year – particularly if you focus only at 5v5, where Mark Jankowski has strangely had a much tougher time creating – so it'd be a big plus if Mangiapane can establish himself as a regular and start to chip in. His performance vs Arizona should buy him more opportunity to do so.
With Hamonic out of the lineup, Noah Hanifin found himself paired with Rasmus Andersson on the 2nd unit. It did not go well. They controlled fewer than 35% of the shot attempts and all four of Arizona's Grade A chances at 5v5 came with that duo on the ice. No other defenders were on for a single high-danger look. It wouldn't be overly concerning if their struggles were a one-time thing but that's not the case. As a pairing, Hanifin-Hamonic have a Corsi more than 6% higher than that of Hanifin-Andersson. One defense injury really puts the blueline out of sorts, which probably explains why the Flames are rumored to be in the market for one more veteran defender.


Colin was born in Gosport, Hampshire on 28th March 1951. Although he spent the first 30 years of his life near the sea it was not until later that he developed a love for sailing. He loved his sailing trips whatever the weather and looked forward to many more when he retired. Sadly this was not to be and he passed away on 13th May 2009. He is, and always will be, missed by Stella, Laura and Nick.

A few weeks after the SUPER KICKSTARTER! ends, you'll receive an email to fill out a REWARD ORDER FORM (or "SURVEY"), where you'll answer whatever questions we need to start making your rewards (like your T-SHIRT SIZE, whether you want DVD or BLU-RAY, etc).
When you fill out your REWARD ORDER FORM, you'll also be able to UPGRADE some of your rewards, or grab some EXTRAS and ADD-ON REWARDS to get exactly the rewards you want.
Then, once you tell us your address, we'll be able to figure out the EXACT SHIPPING COST, and you'll be able to pay for it.
We're working on a page on TheAquabats.com where you'll be able to see the estimated shipping costs for each level, so stay tuned!
[REWARDS] How will I get the new music and episodes? Will there be DRM?
For the NEW ALBUMS, we'll send you links to download the files, with no DRM or copy-protection on them. We're not 100% sure, but we'll probably release them in a high-quality M4A file format, the same encoding that iTunes and other commercial music services use.
For the NEW EPISODES, we're planning to send you digital codes that let you stream and download HD video files (DRM-free!) using a service called VIMEO OTT. (It used to be called VHX.tv.) Like the music downloads, that means you'll be able to watch the episodes anytime you want, on any device you want, without restrictions.
If you don't want to download the episodes, VIMEO OTT also has apps (and a website) that will let you stream it to your digital devices, as well as apps on AppleTV, Roku, Google Chromecast, and more.
And, of course, we'll hopefully share the new episodes somewhere that more people can see them, like Facebook or YouTube. After all, the more people who can discover The Aquabats, the more powerful The Legion of Righteous Comrades will become!
[REWARDS] Yes, but I hate DRM! Will there be any on the new music or videos?
Once more, for our friends in the bleachers: there won't be ANY DRM on the album and episode downloads, which means you'll be able to watch and listen to them WHENEVER, WHEREVER and HOWEVER you want!
You'll be able to put them on any device you want, back them up on portable drives, bury those portable drives in your backyard or the woods, and so on.
Basically, the only thing you shouldn't do is sell them to other people, or give your copies to other people for free. And that's just because, if other people don't pledge too, we won't be able to keep making MORE music and epic adventures for you!
[REWARDS] Does each reward package include ALL previous rewards?
Most of the reward packages, up to Level $350, include almost all of the rewards in the lower packages.
If you check out the main Kickstarter page, you'll also see a graphic showing you EVERYTHING that's included in each of the pledge levels, all the way up to $300.
[REWARDS, $10+] What's in the LEGION MEMBERSHIP KIT download?
Good question, kids! The Legion Membership Kit will include a printable ID CARD and CERTIFICATE OF MEMBERSHIP, showing everyone that you answered the call, joined The Legion of Righteous Comrades, and helped Bring Back The Aquabats! It'll also include other fun goodies, like printable coloring pages, wallpapers, ringtones and more!
[REWARDS, $35+] What's the deal with the SUPER SHOW SEASON 1 SOUNDTRACK?
What's the DEAL, you ask? It's a GREAT DEAL, you guys! The Aquabats have been working on it for YEARS, and now they're almost ready to share it with all of you.
Even if you never watched The Aquabats! Super Show!, the soundtrack will be "essential listening": it's got over 36 new full-length tracks*, expanded from the versions on the Super Show, and they make just as much sense even if you never saw it! The soundtrack includes some of our best songs from Season 1, like "Burger Rain", "Doing Science" and "Beat Fishin'".
Most of these songs have NEVER BEEN RELEASED… and even though a few have, this is the album where they belong! So, it's basically a BRAND NEW DOUBLE ALBUM, and our first major new album since "HI-FIVE SOUP!" dropped back in 2011. Plus, we'll make sure that all Righteous Comrades getting this reward receive the album AT LEAST A MONTH BEFORE it gets released anywhere else!
*To be exact, it has 37 new full-length tracks. That's over 36!
[REWARDS, $55+] Tell me more about THE AQUABATS LEGION T-SHIRTS!
The AQUABATS' LEGION T-SHIRT will be 100% EXCLUSIVE to this Kickstarter campaign, and will never be available again… so don't snooze on this one, homies!
- To a 3X, 4X or 5X for an extra $5.
- To a HOODIE for an extra $20-35.
If you want BOTH DESIGNS, you can also add an extra $35 to your pledge, or wait and grab an extra when you fill out your REWARD ORDER FORM.
[REWARDS, $100+] Tell me about the POSTER. Do I really need another poster?
We'll do better than TELL you about the poster: later this week, we'll GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK!
The "AQUABATS' LEGION" POSTER will be 100% EXCLUSIVE to this Kickstarter campaign, and will never be available again… so even if you don't normally "do" posters, you're going to want this one. It's going to be an epic homage to YOU, The Legion of Righteous Comrades, and your valiant efforts to #BringBackTheAquabats!
[REWARDS, $150+] About these PAUL FRANK ACCESSORIES... will they be cool?
Our long-time friend, Paul Frank, has been hard at work on some super-special designs just for this Kickstarter, and we can't wait for you to see them. In fact, that's why we'll be giving you a sneak peek at the designs soon!
Like the t-shirt and the poster, these versions of the AQUABATS' LEGION ACCESSORIES will be 100% EXCLUSIVE to this Kickstarter campaign, and will never be available again… so if you don't want to spend the next 10 years searching in vain on eBay, this is the time to grab yours!
[REWARDS, $400] How does the PERSONALIZED VOICEMAIL work?
For this reward, The Aquabats will record a PERSONALIZED VOICEMAIL GREETING or AUDIO MESSAGE of up to 30 seconds, with the Aquabat(s) of your choice, or the whole group.
If you DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC REQUEST, we'll give you some basic ideas to choose from, and can customize them with your name, or some details about you. We'll also offer some options for messages you can send friends for birthdays, anniversaries or special occasions!
If you HAVE A SPECIFIC REQUEST, you'll be able to send in a script -- but if takes longer than 30 seconds to read out loud, we can't promise The Aquabats will get through the whole thing, and might stop in the middle of the sentence. Keep it tight, homies!
If you're looking for an actual ADVERTISEMENT featuring The Aquabats, feel free to get in touch and ask us about SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS. We might even be able to work a promotion into a new episode of the show, or record a custom jingle for you! It just, you know… costs more.
[REWARDS, $450] How does the PERSONAL VIDEO GREETING work?
For this reward, The Aquabats will record a PERSONALIZED VIDEO MESSAGE of up to 45 seconds, with the Aquabat(s) of your choice, or the whole group.
Just to be clear: that doesn't mean we can blow something up, or have a fight scene, or record the message in a location of your choice. All video greetings will be recorded either inside the Battletram or on a concert stage, and we can't guarantee to include any specific props or costumes, aside from The Aquabats in their uniforms!
If you DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC REQUEST, we'll give you some basic ideas to choose from, and can customize them with your name, or some details about you. We'll also offer some options for videos you can send friends for birthdays, anniversaries or special occasions!
If you HAVE A SPECIFIC REQUEST, you'll be able to send in a script -- but if takes longer than 45 seconds to read out loud, we can't promise The Aquabats will get through the whole thing, and might stop in the middle of the sentence. Keep it tight, homies!
Finally, your VIDEO GREETING reward is for PERSONAL USE ONLY, and can't be used as a cheap way to create an advertisement for your business or brand.
If you're looking for an actual ADVERTISEMENT featuring The Aquabats, feel free to get in touch and ask us about SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS. We might even be able to work a promotion into a new episode of the show! It just, you know… costs more.
[REWARDS, $2500] How does the YOUR NAME IN A SONG reward work?
SONG on the next BRAND NEW AQUABATS ALBUM!
It could end up being the title of a new song, or part of the lyrics -- that depends on what your name is, and where it fits into the song! -- but it'll be there, and everyone'll know your name. The Aquabats will also tell you how they'd like to include it ahead of time, to make sure you're comfortable with how it'll be included.

The OECD offers a wealth of data and analysis illustrating that investment and trade can strongly support the competitiveness of our economies, the efficiency of markets for consumers, the potential for innovation, and—yes—the quality of employment. Of course, open markets raise the stakes for companies and their workers in a competitive environment. But policies that enforce rules for multilateral trade and that encourage governments and social partners to invest in education, training, and skills will ultimately enable our economies to trade up, and not down. In fact, OECD research shows that companies that are involved in international trade offer better working conditions, better salaries, and can reduce informality.
We also know that trade and investment are questioned by some, and unfortunately the arguments are increasingly emotional, if not irrational. And in spite of some modest improvements, barriers to market for trade and "foreign" direct investment exist in abundance, with significant adverse effects on growth and productivity. We often forget that trade and investment have pulled hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and are responsible for much of the convergence we see between living standards globally across countries.
Protectionism remains a real threat, and not many understand the severe consequences for productivity if global value chains are or compromised or even interrupted. In fact, the OECD can exactly show this for individual countries and even sectors.
We are all challenged to communicate responsibly on the opportunities that come with open markets. Clearly, it is counterproductive to vilify trade and to use it for campaigns of all sorts. We need both, a strong and reliable multilateral trade regime, and a drive to reap the benefits of regional integration—including TPP and TTIP. If done right, these goals should be compatible and enforce themselves mutually. And the great potential of trade in services is still to be developed, with important tools such as the OECD Trade in Services Restrictiveness Index pointing to the cost of the many barriers in this sector.
One more word on investment: there is a rambling debate on investor protection, and some question if International Investment Agreements—along with Investor State Dispute Settlement schemes—compromise "the right to regulate". This is another example how an important debate can be hijacked for populism. Of course, states should have the right to regulate, but not expropriate. It should surprise nobody that high-standards for the protection of investors against measures that contradict earlier agreements are essential for a pro-growth policy environment—and in particular for long term investment in infrastructure. It is important that that these discussions are put back on a factual basis and that misinterpretations are effectively addressed. The OECD is in a unique place to explain why international investment agreements matter, and how they contribute to economic prosperity worldwide. Governments and business, with support and evidence from the OECD, must step up in their efforts to explain the virtues of trade and investment more convincingly to the public.

September 27, 2017 – SPECIAL EDITION: A Rare Report on an Engagement Between White Texans and Their Muslim Neighbors With a Reasonably Happy Ending | Abrahamic Family Reunion	.
We watch the media for useful reporting on Abrahamic engagement. This long report from the Washington Post is remarkable for its blow-by-blow account of quite decent white Texans whose fear of American Muslims in Texas is confronted by their Muslim neighbors and both sides are armed. An all-American story. It's a keeper.


Communicators say the professional association was slow to explain fully why it was laying off half its staff. UPDATE.
The International Association of Business Communicators is a professional network that aims to be the gold standard for the industry.
The organization has found itself in a communications crisis since it announced it would lay off half of its 32 staffers by yearend, and then hire 11 newcomers, part of a change in strategy.
The shakeup came Nov. 29, five months after Christopher Sorek began his tenure as executive director of the organization, which has 14,000 members in 70 countries. Sorek previously worked as CEO of The Drinkaware Trust in the U.K.
It wasn't until six days later that IABC began a LinkedIn thread of its own.
The webinar announcement said that in the future, the IABC will offer free premium content for members, enriched mobile communication, and revamped accreditation and certification.
UPDATE: The webinar did little to calm members' frustration.
IABC first announced the changes in a November email to the group's leaders, says Angela Sinickas, an IABC fellow who received it. The association apparently wanted to use an "information cascade," a tactic she says doesn't work.
Enter LinkedIn. Members flooded the site with comments on Dec. 1 after a communicator's comment—"IABC fires most of its staff, and most VPs. Does not discuss it"—sparked much discussion. Many expressed dismay over the way the communications were handled.
The communicator's thread drew 155 comments; IABC's garnered 30.
McGuinness says she was surprised by the IABC's poor execution.
Some members are asking why Sorek has apparently made no comment about the restructuring.
An IABC spokesman told Ragan.com in an email that Meyers, the board chair, has been the primary spokesperson for this announcement.
Some saw the IABC as slow off the mark in addressing member ire. In communications, "the faster you communicate, the better," says Gerard Braud of Braud Communications.
But Braud says he has been in thorny situations in which companies want to say more but face legal and internal restrictions on what they can say without violating confidentiality.
A group such as IABC feels increased pressure about communications than would another type of industry organization, Braud says.
"If it was the association of widget makers, the irony wouldn't be that strong," he says.


ExpressVPN, the popular virtual private network based in the British Virgin Islands, announced the release of ExpressVPN 5.0 for Mac, with total change of the app's interface, and new features added including Spotlight Integration – the search tool to help users connect to their recent, favorite, and recommended VPN server locations more efficiently.
The functionality of the app remains the same, but simplified layout makes it easier for users to see when they are connected to server locations.
BVI-registered company China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology Limited is planning to launch a new 4G smartphone under the brand M2, and to start shipments in the first quarter of this year. The Android-based M2, aimed for mass market, will be one of the slimmest IP68-certified smartphones. It will have a 5.0 inch HD LCD screen with 3rd generation Gorilla Glass, dual cameras, and a host of outdoor applications, among them a barometer, compass, torch light and magnifying glass.

Join Bottled Up for Drinker
Why Should I sign up to this website?
At Bottled-up we have taken the best of traditional programs for the families of alcoholics, blended it with research, then filtered it through our own personal experience to create a unique program of action. Our goal is to give you a program that will empower you to take more control of your life and help your whole family, including your drinker.
Bottled Up was originally opened in autumn of 2009. Since then, thousands of people from all over the world have been helped by it. In this updated version, we have refined some of the original program and added new features, to better meet the needs of our members. So, as well as all the previous features, Bottled Up now provides a much-expanded service to help you and your family. One of these new features is a guided Intervention, to help you to talk to your drinker about your concerns. This comes complete with complete with how-to videos as well as videos of John talking about his own drinking and recovery. The Intervention is unique to Bottled Up and cannot be found anywhere else.
One of the biggest changes is the incorporation of Bottled Up for Drinkers (BUD). We listened to our members who told us they wanted to be able to help their drinker, the result was BUD. BUD was originally created as the award-winning website 24/7 Help Yourself. As a member of Bottled Up you will have free access to this website for your drinker. BUD is full of unique tools that have helped many to change their drinking behaviour for over decade. Normally membership of BUD would cost £30 (for 3 months), as a member of Bottled Up, your drinker will have access for free.
10 Reasons to Join Bottled Up
Get access to a wealth of information on alcoholism and recovery. Information that is presented in articles, ebooks, videos and audios. You can download the materials and listen to them in your car, in the gym or walking the dog. Because we know that living with a drinker is stressful, we want to make Bottled Up as convenient as possible.
Benefit from the support of others in a similar situation. The Bottled Up forum is one of the things that we take great pride in. We love that, even in their own difficult situations, our members want to help and support each other. It is like a family.
Get strategies to reduce your levels of stress and worry. Let us show you how to detach and take some of the stress out of your life.
Find ways to improve your home and social life. Most people who live with a drinker find that they have no social life. This may be because they no longer get invited to parties or it may be that the shame means that they do want to go out. Let us help you to change that.
Reduce the impact of drinking on your life. We created SHARE for two reasons. First to assess the drinking and secondly as a way of looking at the drinking that would allow you to make practical changes that would help reduce the negative consequences.
Discover tips to improve your relationship. You don't need us to tell you that living with a drinker can damage a relationship. Another important tool we created is LOVE, we made it to try and stop relationships becoming a battlefield. We are sure that you recognise that it is important to have a relationship left when the drinking stops and recovery begins.
Learn how to address the drinking issue in a positive and effective way. There are ways that we tend to react when things are not going well, these are natural reactions. Unfortunately, they can make things worse (the situation and your stress levels) rather that better. We'll show you some of the obvious ones so that you can reduce their effect..
Be guided to carry out an Intervention with your drinker. Bottled Up offers a unique Intervention that you will not find anywhere else. It comes complete with how to videos and step by step instructions.
Access authentic assessments for alcohol problems. In Bottled Up for Drinkers you can access clinical tools used by treatment agencies. These can be filled in online and will give not just a score but also a recommendation about what to do next.
If you want more personal interaction Lou and John will be doing live inputs on a regular basis.
If you want an even more personal interaction we offer a 1-to-1 , face to face, telephone or skype. These sessions are by appointment only and are charged at £40 per hour.
OK we know, that is actually 12 reasons not 10. That's because we are continually working hard at Bottled Up to increase the help, support and the value that we provide. So come an join us and get all the help that Bottled Up provides
Please help us to keep it available for all by making a donation.

Learn More About Local Plants and Trees.
Information from Annuals Allergy & Immunology
Aspen, Quaking
Quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides, is perhaps the most widely recognized of western trees.
It is a characteristic constituent of the Rocky Mountains flora. The species name tremuloides describes the propensity for the leaves to flutter with the slightest air currents because of particularly thin, flattened, pliable leafstalks.
In this respect, the western aspen is similar to a Eurasian counterpart, Populus tremula, which is prevalent throughout Britain to North Africa and Asia.
The range of P. tremuloides is from Labrador and Hudson Bay to Alaska, southward throughout
Cedar, Mountain
In cedar, Juniperus ashei, is a member of the cypress family of gymnosperms, Cuppressaceae.
It is an exceedingly prolific producer of pollen, and during peak pollen anthesis, counts may be greater than 8000 grains per m3 at sampling sites miles away from the trees.
Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." Mountain cedar is especially prevalent in south and west Texas, where it is now the dominant tree.
The numbers of such trees have increased dramatically over the past 200 years because of the impact
Dock / Sorrel
Docks and sorrels of the genus Rumex, comprising approximately 200 species, are temperate-climate weeds widely dispersed throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
There are 20 species found in the northeastern region, and 24 species in California. Native species of Rumex are found most commonly in the western half of the United States.
Curly dock (or yellow dock), Rumex crispus, is a Eurasian introduction that has spread across the continent. Similarly, broadleaf or bitter dock, R. obtusifolium, is of European origin.
Curly dock is found throughout the Great Plains and west of the Continental Divide.
Elms are eastern deciduous trees well valued for shade and ornamental appearance,
As well as valued commercially for their heavy, exceedingly hard wood. There are about 45 species of elms, with six native to the North American continent east of the Rocky Mountains.
American elm (Ulmus americana) is a native tree that has had a wide range from the entire eastern states through the Central Plains. It has, however, over the past 60 years, been decimated by Dutch elm disease,
A fungal blight caused by the ascomycete, Ophiostoma (Ceratocystis) ulmi, and transmitted through a vector,
Grasses are the most significant inducers of late spring to early summer pollinosis on all major continents.
Members of the grass family are ubiquitous and cosmopolitan, accounting for approximately one-quarter of the globe's vegetation, They are found in deserts and mountains,
And in freshwater to marine environments. Grasses have huge economic impact. Kentucky bluegrass (June grass, Poa pratensis) is, with perhaps the exception of timothy grass, the most commercially important perennial grass in the United States.
Kentucky bluegrass is an aggressive invader of suitable soil,
Oaks, of the genus Quercus, are very abundant hardy trees of temperate climates, preferring drier soils from the southern edges of the northern forest to the tropics.
They frequently are found mixed with pines; and with the absence of major forest fires, which favor pine regrowth, will ultimately replace the pines in natural forest succession.
Oaks have thick, fire-resistant bark. Even when the main stem is killed, the deep root system lives on, sending up successive saplings. Propagation to sites distant from the parent tree is helped by animals' harvesting of acorns,
Which are then buried and perhaps forgotten, to sprout new seedlings.
Asteraceae (or Compositae) is a very large family with three subfamilies and 17 tribes,
The majority of which are insect-pollinated and of little concern to allergists. The subfamily Asteroideae, however, contains three tribes of particular interest:
Heliantheae (sunflower tribe), Astereae (aster tribe), and Anthemideae (mayweed tribe). Ragweeds are in a Heliantheae subtribe, Ambrosiinae. Giant ragweed, Ambrosia trifida, is one of the four ragweeds of major importance; the others are short, A. artemisiifolia, western.
A. psilotachya, and false, A. acanthicarpa. There are numerous other Ambrosia species of regional importance.
The Sagebrushes of the genus Artemisia are members of the Asters, the largest of Dicotyledoneae flowering plant families.
Although having a similar aroma, they are not closely related to the true sages (Salvia species) of the mint family, Labiatae. There are both native and introduced members,
With at least 19 species found within the United States. A dozen species are found in the western states, with fewer in the eastern states. The most prevalent eastern sage is the introduced European weed, annual mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris.
Giant sagebrush, A. tridentata, is a native especially prevalent west of the continental divide.

Novellas are problematic little buggers, aren't they? Book buyers are less likely to purchase something they know they are going to get through in one sitting, especially if they can buy a full-length novel for a similar price. Publishers are wary of them because it is more cost-efficient to print full-length novels. Literary agents aren't interested in them, knowing the big publishers demand longer works of fiction in which to invest their money. Where does that leave the authors who write novellas?
Fortunately for Melanie McDonald, her debut novella "Eromenos" was picked up by Seriously Good Books, a small press who specialise in historical fiction and is due to be released early 2011. "Eromenos" is set in the Roman Empire of the second century AD and tells the story of Antinous of Bithynia, a teenage boy of exceptional beauty, and his experiences as a consort of the Emperor Hadrian. I'm sure there are a few readers out there staring in disbelief at that last sentence. "Eh? What? Hadrian? As in the wall-building Hadrian? He had a [gasp] teenage boyfriend?" Relationships between adolescent boys and older men were actually very common in Ancient Greek and Roman society. The relationship was born partly out of a need for masculine companionship but also out of sexual attraction. They'd hang out together during the day, go hunting or discuss philosophy or whatever over dinner but behind closed doors they'd be at it like knives.
You've probably guessed by now that this is a novella which is unlikely to appeal to everyone. Those of a homophobic inclination will doubtless be outraged by a number of scenes and the relationship between Antinous and the Emperor is also likely to unsettle more conservative readers. However, one has to take this relationship within the context of Roman society where it was a commonplace occurrence for a member of the upper classes to take an eromenos (beloved boy) under his wing and tutor him in the ways of the world.
McDonald's evocation of the Ancient World is truly masterful. The long list of sources at the end of the book shows that she did a scholarly amount of reading whilst researching the book and she assimilates the historical details of the story into her narrative without sacrificing the pace or characterisation. Indeed, whilst the vivid recreation of Imperial Rome is impressive enough, it is McDonald's intelligent and sensitive characterisation that carries the story along. Antinous is a complex character, torn between his rigid sense of duty to the Emperor and his own fiery Greek spirit. Though his relationship with Hadrian empowers him politically and socially, Antinous is painfully aware of the fact that his status as Hadrian's consort is transient and as his youthful looks begin to mature, he will find himself cast aside for a younger man. Travelling the Empire as part of the Emperor's retinue, Antinous meets the greatest minds, philosophers and priests of the age. The climax of the story comes as he resolves to commit suicide, knowing that Hadrian will deify him. Such a tragic end, he explains, is far more preferable to the inevitable rejection and loss of status that will follow.
The romance between a teenage boy and a grown man is never going to be an easy thing to capture convincingly and sympathetically within the pages of a book. Melanie McDonald has achieved this and done it with both beauty and subtlety. "Eromenos" may be a short read but it carries the emotional weight of a novel two or three times its size. Coupled with a rigorous attention to historical accuracy and a vivid recreation of Roman society in the second century AD, this novella is a most impressive little book.

Mingge Wu, a recent graduate from the School of Economics, became the first doctoral candidate to receive a Ph.D. in Economics from Georgia Tech in May 2014. She now works as a senior statistician for InterContinental Hotels Group after receiving master's and Ph.D. degrees, both in economics, from Georgia Tech.
I earned my B.S. and B.A. in Applied Math and Economics from Wuhan University in China, where I grew up. I came to Georgia Tech in 2008 to continue my study in economics as a master's student. I encountered an interesting topic in the arguments on cost benefits regarding environmental regulations, in particular how governments in developing countries balance economic growth and environmental concerns. My interest in the topic carried over into my Ph.D. work here.
Even though my undergraduate education provided me with a solid background in economic theory, I had no real clear ideas about what economic research looks like. My research interests became motivated by the coursework in the master's program I completed here at Georgia Tech, which taught me how various fields differ from and interact with each other. I then decided to pursue more as a Ph.D. student.
The Ph.D. in Economics program provided me with rich resources related to research. I had the opportunity to work with professors in math, business, public policy, industrial engineering and environmental engineering. Few programs combine economics, engineering, and public policy into such a well-organized package. The program is small, and everyone works closely with each other, meaning professors are all very helpful and the students' voices will always be heard. I worked in particular with my advisor, Tibor Besedes, along with Usha Nair-Reichert and Eric Johnson.
My research examined the interactions between international trade and environmental regulations motivated by the pollution haven hypothesis, which states that when seeking to set up factories abroad, large industrialized nations will often look for the cheapest option in terms of resources and labor. This often means sending production to developing nations with less stringent environmental regulations, reducing pollution control.
In particular, my dissertation (available here) looked at how environmental regulations affect international bilateral trade flows. It showed that imports will increase for European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) members for dirty industries while exports decrease. Additionally, membership in EU ETS changes firms' foreign direct investment decisions. According to my theoretical model, both inward and outward foreign direct investment in dirty industries decreases for EU ETS members.
Teaching the undergraduate principle economics course was one of my greatest experiences at Georgia Tech. As a non-native English speaker, it was a challenge to teach 150 students with a diverse set of backgrounds at one time. It forced me to think about economics from an outsider's perspective.
Students in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts are set apart and differ from their counterparts in other liberal arts and social sciences colleges in both the technical education they receive in addition to their liberal arts studies and the high reputation of Georgia Tech as an exemplary research institution.

The sheer number and variety of places to drink and dine in Hermanus is a reflection of the leisurely, holiday lifestyle that the seaside resort offers. From sushi to steak, coffee shops to five-star restaurants and classical dining to something more relaxed, Hermanus has something for every taste and pocket.
First time visitors tend to gravitate towards the seafront area in the centre of town where there is a collection of sidewalk cafes, restaurants, pub 'n grills and coffee shops offering a view of the bay. This position allows one to take in the seaside view and people walking along the promenade in search of the whales. The flavours range from typical South African to Mexican and Italian.
While the seafront is a lively and festive location that comes highly recommended, don't forget about the restaurants and coffee shops set further back. Restaurants in residential areas have excellent service and superb food to constantly attract their regular customers. Lunches and tea-time treats are particularly well catered for in the central part of town with value-for-money fresh, seasonal food presented daily. It is perfect for a quick snack on the go or leisurely sit-down.

Between town and the Hemel-en-Aarde Village there are some excellent steak houses, mouth-watering pizza palces, restaurants with airy garden courtyards and casual fare. Simply let the tantalising aromas seduce your senses and induce your appetite.
During the day the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley adds another dimension to dining where one can indulge in food and wine pairings, picnics and exquisite lunches on various wine farms. The wine is renowned in the area and you can swirl your glass to an enchanting view of the valley. What a way to while away the day!
For the classical dining experience in Hermanus there are hotels that offer restaurants with outstanding menus and an extensive wine list. Otherwise for a more relaxed feel to suit the holiday vibes there are informal restaurants with phenomenal seafood platters and some modern, edgy ones for a little something different. There is normally a great selection of fantastic local wines due to the lush vineyards that occupy the surrounding area. There are two Saturday morning food markets that provide the most delicious home-made eats, preserves, fresh produce and cakes.
The good food and wine is constantly flowing in Hermanus. Nothing quite says your on holiday like a full belly and tantalising flavours that linger even after the meal is finished.
