Accredited ACH Professionals (AAPs) are an elite group of highly-skilled professionals who are recognized for their electronic payments expertise and who have a strong competitive edge in functioning as effective partners in the business and financial arenas. The AAP accreditation is recognized as the gold standard in ACH excellence.
AAPs bring a wide range of experience and a critical knowledge base that is a valuable asset to any organization and Regulators seek out AAP's during exams.
AAPs (Accredited ACH Professionals) are recognized as experts on ACH-related issues. As an AAP you'll become a leader in your field while increasing your value to your organization. It's a win/win situation. However, before you embark on the journey, a certain amount of preparation is required.
It is recommended that you have at least two years of payments-related experience before you attempt to take the AAP exam.
In addition, you'll want to prepare for the exam by attending classes offered by WACHA that provide the information you'll need to pass the exam, as well as purchasing the necessary study materials.
WACHA offers a special incentive package to individuals who want to take the AAP exam in October. You will need certain publications for reference and study, as well as training sessions (see the "AAP Recommended Publications" and "Recommended AAP Training Sessions") which cover information necessary to pass the AAP exam. Wouldn't it also be helpful to have a study guide that told you what to expect and how to prepare for the exam? WACHA has developed the AAP Study Kit which provides useful tips, sample tests and quizzes– delivered electronically.
And if that wasn't enough - We offer a Money-Back Guarantee!
We're so confident that we've put together a great package that we're willing to guarantee your success! If you take all the recommended AAP training sessions in person and purchase the offer below, and you DO NOT PASS THE EXAM, we'll reimburse you for the $495 AAP test registration fee!
What is the NCPC Program?
The NCPC (National Check Professional Certification) program is sponsored by the Electronic Check Clearing House Organization (ECCHO). This designation recognizes professionals who have successfully proven a certain level of understanding of the current check payments landscape.
Although check volume is on the decline, checks are still here and check fraud is increasing. According to the American Bankers Association Deposit Account Fraud Survey, $1.00 out of every $3.00 in losses are due to counterfeit and returned checks. In addition, we are in the midst of numerous check regulation and rule changes, including: changes to Regulation CC (funds availability and more); FTC changes on Remotely Created Checks (RCCs); and FFIEC's IT Examination Handbook addition of Appendix E: Mobile Financial Services, which affects Remote Deposit Capture (RDC).
Having a NCP on staff will help your financial institution stay compliant, decrease losses, and be ahead of the curve! NCPs have proven knowledge in every significant aspect of the check payment system including: products and operations; relevant rules and laws; industry standards; and fraud and risk mitigation.
PAR/WACHA has built this special preparation package to prepare individuals for the 2019 NCPC Exam.
Download the NCPC Offer order form to purchase via mail or fax.
NACHA has announced a NEW advanced certification program called the Accredited Payments Risk Professional (APRP) Certification. The certification esteems itself to identify those individuals who are competent in risk across payment channels at an enterprise level. Be sure to register early for the 2019 APRP exam and training sessions.

Mother is the third studio album by Australian duo Xylouris White. It was released on 19 January 2018, through Bella Union. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2018 it was nominated for Best World Music Album.

Critical reception

Mother was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 78, based on 11 reviews. Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 75 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 10 reviews.

Thom Jurek from AllMusic said the album is "more spacious album than either of its predecessors. Each tune births further exploration as each statement is a (sometimes slightly) varied response but more often a question. While the album is integral to its predecessors as part of a loosely conceived and articulated musical trilogy, it stands on its own as an exercise in close listening, careful communication, and quiet revelation." Vish Khanna from Exclaim! said: "Mother finds Xylouris White quietly questioning musical structure and expectations. They remain trailblazing outliers with a supernatural power to express themselves as one and, with a warmth and welcoming generosity of spirit, invite listeners to step up and out of their comfort zones." Robin Denselow from The Guardian wrote: "Their two earlier albums were remarkable for their blend of improvisation and energy, and the new set proves they are capable of treating elegant, thoughtful songs with an equal spirit of adventure. The quieter songs bring further displays of the empathy between them, with the thoughtful Lullaby providing a delicate ending to an exhilarating set."

Houston featherweight Roma Martinez represents next wave of USA female boxers
The Fight Journal 8 Oct 2018 8 Oct 2018 Professional Boxing
Out to make statement at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018
Oct. 6-18 in Argentina
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (October 8, 2018) — Houston featherweight Roma Martinez, who represents the next wave of USA female boxers, is currently In Argentina to make a statement at the ongoing Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.
The Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 continues through Oct. 18 at Parque Polidesportivo Roca in Argentina.
The 18-year-old Martinez started boxing six years ago, when her step-father came into her life, taking her to a local boxing gym to help keep her out of potential trouble, as well to defend herself.
She is an online student at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, planning to major in business, and Roma has been able to balance her busy schedule for a simple reason. "I don't have much of a social life," she admitted, "so it's easy for me to train and study."
Argentina is the second foreign country she's traveled to having competed last November in India. Although she has a relatively limited amateur career, Martinez has managed to capture top honors at six national events: 2016 USA Boxing Nationals, 2014 & 2015 Batte lf the Universe, 20-15 Women's Golden Glove, 2-15 Junior Olympics Nationals, and 2014 Brown Gloves.
Like many of her Team USA teammates, in addition to opponents from all over the world, Roma hopes she can parlay an impressive performance in Buenos Aires to improve her chances to eventually qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
"The Youth Olympics is the biggest thing in my career because I hope to compete in the 2020 Olympics," Martinez said. "The Youth Olympics is almost as big as the Olympics, only younger athletes compete. I take things one day at a time, but I do have goals to make the Olympics, win a gold medal, and then turn pro and win a world title.
"This is my last youth competition. This December I will move up to Elite Division. There will be a difference in age (of her opponents) and more international competition, but I need that experience to reach my goals."
Roma, she says, is a technical boxer who occasionally brings pressure. Her favorite boxer is the great "Sugar" Ray Leonard and she looks up to Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain) and Mikaela Mayer (2016 USA Olympian). Roma has taken advantage of sparring sessions with Adams and Mayer, respectively, in Houston and Colorado Springs.
Martinez believes female boxing is on the upswing and she looks forward to its future. "The more top female boxers will mean bigger things for us," Martinez added, "We'll get more TV time and make more money."
Roma credits USA Boxing for her learning how to be disciplined and she's grateful for the outstanding coaching she's received. Martinez plans to travel a lot in the future and when she earns her business degree, Roma is determined to use it to her advantage, owning a restaurant and, possibly, a gym so that she can remain in boxing after she hangs up her gloves way down the road.

Cooperative Finance
Home › Overview › Economic Impacts of Cooperatives › Financial Services
Some banks and other finance companies exist specifically to provide capital to cooperative businesses in the U.S. These include the National Consumer Cooperative Bank, an Association of Corporate Credit Unions, the Cooperative Finance Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Arguably, we could also include the Farm Credit System in this subsection (because one of its member companies lends specifically to agricultural cooperatives), but we have elected instead to keep it in a separate subsector because the Farm Credit System also provides banking services directly to farmers. In this section, we briefly describe each of these organizations and systems, and report on their aggregate economic impact.
The National Cooperative Bank (NCB) is a U.S. government-chartered corporation organized under the National Consumer Cooperative Bank Act in 1978 and privatized in 1981 as a financial services company. The bank, which is structured as a cooperative business with >2,500 member owners, also operates an affiliate nonprofit organization (NCB Capital Impact) that provides community lending and business development services, and a subsidiary federally chartered thrift (NCB, FSB) that provides banking services to NCB's national customer base. NCB lending initially focused on natural food and housing cooperatives, but has subsequently broadened to encompass a wide variety of sectors including healthcare, childcare, education, energy and manufacturing, and retail goods and services.
Corporate credit unions (CCUs) were formed to meet the liquidity needs of credit unions, diminishing their reliance on banks and other vendors. Today there are 28 CCUs that serve >8,000 natural person credit unions in the U.S. Each CCU has a specific geographic region and serves the credit unions within its jurisdiction by offering operational support, product service, and delivery. U.S. Central was created in 1974 to be a centralized banker bank of the CCUs; its membership base includes CUSOs and CCUs.
The National Rural Utilties Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) is a cooperative company owned by 898 electric utility systems, 511 telecommunications organizations, 66 statewide and regional service organizations, and 63 associates. CFC provides financing, investment, and related services to its members. It raises funds for loan programs with the support of its owners' equity and investments and through the sale of multiple financing vehicles in the private financial markets.
The Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLBS) is composed of 12 cooperative banks, each with its own president and board of directors, and 8,100 member lenders who collectively own the banks. The system and its members are the largest source of residential mortgage and community development credit in the U.S. Members borrow money from the system using mortgages they issue as collateral, and the system secures loan funds by issuing debt in private capital markets. The FHLBS is a Government Sponsored Entity with the implicit backing from the U.S. government, but no formal guarantee. The FHLBS does not pay Federal income tax and borrows at low rates due in part to the implicit backing of the U.S. government. In return for this special treatment, the FHLBS must pay 20% of its net earnings to help cover interest on debt issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation (which paid for the Savings and Loan Bailout), and contribute 10% of its earnings to affordable housing loans and grants (Ashcraft, 2008).
Population Discovery and Data Sources
The list for cooperative financial institutions comes from primary research. All economic data comes from 2007 annual reports of the individual financial institutions. The data collection and survey methodology is discussed in detail in the Data Collection section in the Appendix.
Table 4-4 summarizes our data for the Cooperative Finance subsector. There is >$1T in assets, $72B in sales revenue, and nearly $1B in wages and benefits pay. There are approximately 27,000 memberships and 6,000 employees. Adding direct and indirect impacts to this activity, Table 4-4.4 shows that cooperative finance lenders account for >$77B in revenue, 39,000 jobs, $2B in wages paid, and nearly $6B in valued-added income.
Table 4-4.4: Economic Impacts for Cooperative Finance
Revenues 1.067
millions $ 72,691 2,130 2,707 77,527
Income 1.756 3,381 1,079 1,477 5,937
Wages 2.987 757 669 835 2,261
Employment1 6.254 jobs 6,251 13,035 19,805 39,091
1Business to Business financing results in patronage refunds dwarfing wages resulting in a high employment multiplier. Basically we are saying this level of income should produce a very large employment effect.

Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia End Nile Dispute, Sign Dam Declaration
Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia ended a dispute over the sharing of the Nile waters and signed an agreement on the building of Africa's biggest hydroelectric dam in Ethiopia on Monday.
CAIRO (Sputnik) — A declaration regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) was signed in the Sudanese capital Khartoum by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Sisi, Sudanese President Omar Bashir and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn.
In 2011, Ethiopia announced the construction of the GERD. The $4.7 billion hydro-electric project triggered a crisis in relations between Egypt and Ethiopia as Cairo was afraid that the project would threaten its scarce water resources.
In November 2014, Egypt and Ethiopia agreed that Ethiopia would proceed with the construction of the GERD, but the country had to take Egypt's interests over the Nile into consideration.
The Nile crosses all the three African countries, but up to 85 percent of the river runs through Ethiopia. Egypt and Sudan are mostly desert countries and depend on the Nile water for up to 70 percent of their water needs.

On Friday, Colorado will severely restrict how much interest payday loan businesses can charge consumers — which could force all of them to close.
Voters made the change last November when they approved Proposition 111 by an overwhelming margin.
Colorado and 34 other states allow people to take payday loans. They're often sold as a quick and easy way to get money for things like rent, or to pay bills, or to pay for other emergency expenses. Often, the very high interest rates trap people in a cycle of repayment. Colorado law changed in 2010 to restrict how lenders could operate, but high interest rates remained.
The average annual percentage rate on the loans was 129 percent. More than 200,000 people took these loans in Colorado in 2016 with more than $166 million loaned out. On Friday, all that changes.
The new law doesn't outlaw the lenders, but it caps how much interest they can charge at 36 percent.
Alex Horowitz, senior officer with the nonpartisan Pew Charitable Trusts, said the new law will drive payday lenders out of business entirely.
Under current law, it costs about $120 for a consumer to borrow $400 for three months, he said. Under the new law, it will only cost them about $24.
"That's not enough for lenders to earn a profit, so they'll stop lending," Horowitz said. Once they collect on any outstanding loans, expect them to close entirely shortly after the change.
So why will it be so difficult for payday lenders to stay open? They simply can't lend enough money — by law, the loans are capped at $500 — and they have overhead costs that include storefronts and employees.
Some people may be completely unable to borrow money at all, he said.
"At that price, banks and credit unions are not profitable either," Horowitz said.
The backers of Proposition 111 have a new resource guide for consumers to find lower-cost options for borrowing money. The guide includes a list of groups and financial assistance programs to help people struggling financially. There are also links to credit unions and examples of credit cards that have lower interest rates than what payday lenders typically provide.


That being said, this was the best-dang tuna melt I've had in a loooong time.
I added white beans, greek yogurt, dill and cayenne pepper to my regular tuna-mayo-dijon-salt combo. Bam! Better tuna, plus more protein for the kidlets.
The picture is horrid- bad lighting plus everything is beige, but it was yummy!
Brioche buns courtesy of Trader Joes.
Munster cheese melted on top, courtesy of the toaster and my 4 year old's love of anything orange, hence his irrational love of Port Salut cheese and munster (orange rinds on both, fyi).
did you miss the part where I am pregnant and making tuna melts?
Change the settings on your target's car from US to Metric. So instead of miles it will display kilometers.
getting to synagogue 5 times, where I pawned the kids off to my husband so I could actually be in the sanctuary and sit.
Oh, and after reading the Hunger Games trilogy in 4 days, I watched the first 2 movies On Demand!
My biggest accomplishment and activity was reading, so I'll share my list with you, just in case you are going on vacation or a long flight or just have some time for yourself. I usually read 50-100 books per year, more when I'm nursing a baby and am physically attached to a baby 8-12 hours per day!
Anything else I should put on my list? I'm looking forward to going to the grocery store again. I've been making the list, but it's just not the same as wandering the aisles. Oh, and I can't wait to go to Target!
So far all we've done is move our daughter out, take away the pink things, and bring in the blue.
Before, the nursery was all pink and aqua, and I'm hoping that with the addition of navy, green and maybe a hit of orange these walls (Benjamin Moore Barely Teal) will transition to "boy"
It's very much a work in progress, but hopefully the room will be ready before the baby arrives!
I now present you with the kid's bathroom!
Super cute, small and functional. The red vanity is from Ikea, and the kids chose the colors, red, orange and pink, so I indulged them with the shower curtains and towels from Target. Sconces from West Elm, and stools under the cabinet from Ikea.
And now for where the little one sleeps when we are away.
So far no one has told her that her "room" is just about half hte size of our closet, and was supposed to be my husband's office nook, hence the built in desk.
It's sized perfectly for the crib, has cute knobs on the closet doors, and art is coming soon. Considering our son spent the first 2 years of his life in an actual closet, this is pretty much out family's MO, anythign to keep kids sleeping, which for us means separate rooms. And it does have a window and a door!
There she is petting the giant Bison head in our living room. Jus tin case that looked like a bear wandered in!


Regarding business travel scope 3, Oberlin College considers all approved travel, including personal car mileage reimbursement.
Oberlin College's greenhouse gas inventory is verified by Oberlin Municipal Light and Power Services (OMLPS), our municipal electricity provider.
The college has 4 solar array on campus directly offsetting electric consumption, the largest of which is 2.27MW PV array. In FY 14 we generated 3088844 kWh of renewable sources. In the GHGI this is accounted for within scope 1 generation.
The Carbon Management Fund, a student-run initiative to generate local carbon offsets was initiated in 2013. The effort has planted trees in two locations on campus and is working on funding local sequestration and offsetting projects. This effort led to the creation of campus protocol with the Climate Leadership Network.
Providing Oberlin With Efficiency Responsibly (POWER) reduces carbon emissions by increasing the efficiency of low-income housing in Oberlin. The Office of Environmental Sustainability offers "carbon offsets" in the form of donations to POWER during Commencement/Reunion Weekend and POWER is working with students to enable student organizations to purchase local offsets.
On 20 acres of land located north of campus and the 2.27 MW Solar Array, the Oberlin College Carbon Management Fund has planted Maples, Oaks, Nyssas, and Sycamores to encourage faster succession of woodland and increase biodiversity on otherwise mowed land. These 20 acres are anticipated to sequester ~440 tons of CO2 each year (averaged over 55 years of growth). This project is done in conjunction with Oberlin College's Green Ecological Design and General Efficiency (EDGE) Fund, a student-led organization that supports college and community projects, as well as the Oberlin Rotary Club and Oberlin College's Bonner Center for Service and Learning.
In addition, the Office of Environmental Sustainability encourages and supports offsetting emissions associated with business travel, for example: purchasing an offset for airfare.
The College composts pre- and post-consumer organics from the largest dining hall on campus, as well as all of the co-op kitchens. This includes a great deal of organic material that is taken to a commercial facility nearby. The student-run Resource Conservation Team (RCT) manages compost programs for residence halls at a campus garden. All yard waste is composted by the Grounds Department.
The College offsets 10% of natural gas purchases and sale of C-Neutrals as defined in Carbon Neutral Green-e Certified product agreement.
In addition, over 50% of Oberlin College's electric consumption is offset from renewable resources purchases from our municipal utility electric grid. Our purchased offsets comes from a variety of Ohio sources, including the Blue Creek Wind Farm and AMP Hydro Water Plants. All carbon offsets purchases are a collaborative effort with the local municipal utility, and that desire to work with the municipal utility has the added community benefit of creating a green energy portfolio for the City.
We signed the ACUPCC in 2006; and began GHGI in FY 2007 as our baseline year. This baseline year is also consistent with other reporting metrics.
There are no known "other categories" tracked. Regarding business travel scope 3, Oberlin College considers all approved travel, including winter term projects that occur throughout the nation and world as well as students traveling abroad during the full semester term.
o	The From Coal to Carbon Neutrality campus-wide dialogue series began in fall 2012. Office of Environmental Sustainability hosted events to understand and open discussion on ways the college can best mobilize towards carbon neutrality. Oberlin College has since become a coal-free institution, with FY 15 beginning the first heating season to see the effects of the almost 50 % reduction in Metric Tons of CO2.
o	A year long Retro-Commissioning (RCx) project kicked-off at the Science Center, our largest energy user in our campus building inventory, in Fall 2015 with the targeted effort for holistic building energy savings.
o	The campus is actively advancing our resource, including water, metering and monitoring system to provide real-time consumption data information for building operations as well as education purposes. For the first time, this work includes steam and chilled water meter design and implementation across our academic and administration buildings. We are currently in the third phase of the expansion.
o	General Faculty approved the Oberlin College Environmental Policy Implementation Plan.
o	Oberlin College Office of Environmental Sustainability is currently celebrating their 10-year anniversary. 2016 is also the 10-year anniversary year for our partnership with EPA Green Power Program.
o	The third phase of our campus lighting retrofit project totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet in addition to outdoor lighting was completed in late summer 2015 and included LED pedestrian lighting in Tappan Square. This phase will help to reduce energy needs and improve our environment by saving an estimated 45,437 kWh of electricity per year, an annual savings to Oberlin College of $4,356. At this point approximately 80% of all buildings on campus have been retrofitted with more efficient light options. Over 35,000 lamps and ballasts have been replaced across campus with low-wattage florescent lamps and LEDs.
o	The College continues to purchase Energy Star appliances and water-saving sink aerators and shower heads, use cleaning solutions that are Green Seal-certified hydrogen peroxide based and are biodegradable, and primarily use paper products made of 100% recycled materials.
o	Approximately 95% of the computers and monitors purchased by the College are rated EPEAT Gold, which certifies energy efficiency features and avoidance of harmful materials. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) utilized by Oberlin College was originally created by an EPA grant and is now run by the Green Electronics Council to evaluate and promote the environmental friendliness of electronics.
o	The Community-Based Social Marketing (CBSM) project, advised by Cindy Frantz in Psychology and OES, focuses on comprehensive research and implementation of campaigns to reduce energy consumption. Nearly a dozen student researchers have already been involved in the project and campaigns have been initiated, like using cold water for washing laundry.
o	The Office of Environmental Sustainability developed the Oberlin College Eco Tour mobile application that allows people to view and visit sustainability-related locations of interest on campus. This is the first official Oberlin College app. The map is available online on the OES website in any browser.
We are currently updating our Green House Gas Inventory Report due to the ACUPCC (American College and University President's Climate Commitment). During Spring 2015 semester students were involved in the data collection and reporting process as a learning opportunity during the inventory update. The greenhouse gas inventory is a great opportunity for some of our students to better understand the metrics and impacts associated with our campus sustainability programs and initiatives as well as the immense undertaking of this type of inventory.
We anticipate the 2015 inventory to display great progress. We anticipate source emissions to decrease by approximately half since our benchmark year as we have transitioned to a coal-free campus. March 2014 was the final shipment of coal to the campus central heating plant! A major milestone for our GHG inventory.

For those who have this question, this is not that other Gretchen Rau; the one with the Academy Award for Art Direction and the seemingly fabulous/productive/artistic life who died tragically in 2006 of a brain tumor. It's weird enough living in the United States with the name Gretchen. The additional condition of sharing the combination Gretchen+Rau with a famous artist means that this Gretchen Rau will forever be found 20 pages deep in any Google search. But more than that, sharing the name creates an odd but welcome affinity. May she be happy, wherever she is.
This is also not that other Gretchen Rau; the one who paints fine art pastels of the American West.
Perhaps I've missed the calling that came with the bestowing of my name?
This Gretchen Rau lives in San Francisco in a Buddhist temple where she has engaged in meditation and ceremonial practice with about 65 other practitioners since May 2009. She works full-time "outside" of the temple for a nonprofit organization that works to prevent dangerous climate change.

Saudi Arabia's warplanes are targeting the Southern parts of the kingdom with cluster bombs in a bid to stop the Yemeni army and popular forces' continued and rapid advance deep into their territories.
Saudi Arabia has used cluster bombs many times before, but this is the first time that it is using it against its own population in a desprate move to stop the huge advances made by the Yemeni forces inside the kingdom in recent days.
The Yemeni army and popular forces have frequently crossed the border captured the Saudi military bases and outpost, ruined the military sites and returned home in the last few months and after the Riyadh-led coalition refrained from stopping its air raids on residential areas in Yemen's cities.
But, after months of coalition intensified air raids on civilian areas, the Yemeni forces changed strategy and warned that they would start ground assaults on Saudi territories to force Riyadh stop the massacre.
The new strategy was put into effect on Sunday, when Yemen's army and popular forces crossed the border and captured several key military bases in three provinces in Southern Saudi Arabia near the border.
The Yemeni forces seized Malhama, al-Radif and al-Mamoud military bases in Jizan, al-Rabou'a military base in Asir and Nahouqa military base in Najran provinces.
Then on Monday, the Yemeni forces took control of three more Saudi military bases in al-Shurfa region in Najran.
They also captured a military camp in Najran, and destroyed the military vehicles in there.
On Tuesday, the Saudi warplanes used banned cluster bombs against civilians in 5 airstrikes on residential areas in Yemen's Hajjah province. Tens of people were killed and wounded in the air raids.
Earlier today, the Yemeni army spokesman Sharaf Luqman said that the army and popular forces are advancing deep inside Saudi Arabia and capturing more military bases in the Southern parts of the kingdom.
"The Yemeni forces have managed to inflict heavy losses on the Saudi enemy inside Saudi Arabia," Luqman said.
Luqman said that the Saudi enemy has resorted to airstrikes which will surely fail.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 252 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 7,103 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

John McMurtry is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Guelph, Canada. Most recently, he has focused his research on the value structure of economic theory and its consequences for global civil and environmental life. McMurtry's principal research project in Philosophy spanning over seven years has followed from the invitation by the Secretariat of UNESCO/EOLSS (Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, Paris-Oxford) to construct, author and edit Philosophy and World Problems as a multi-volume study of world philosophy.
Three sub-volumes entitled Western Philosophy and the Life-Ground, Modes of Reason, and Philosophy, Human Nature and Society have been written with internationally distinguished philosophers contributing to five topic areas in each of these general fields. The central title study by McMurtry, entitled, "What is Good, What is Bad? The Value of All Values Across Time, Place and Theories", is an encompassing in-depth critical study of known world philosophies and fields to explain the inner logic of each canon and school in relationship to world problems across languages and eras including the method of life value onto-axiology which is deployed to excavate, explain and resolve life-blind presuppositions of the world's major thought-systems from the ancients East and West to modern and contemporary philosophy. McMurtry was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC) in June 2001 for his outstanding contributions to the study of humanities.

Go back to your dough and once it is risen enough, take it out of the bowl and form two loafs and put on parchment covered bakingsheet. Cover with the damp towel again. After about 1/2 hour, take towl off, cut some slits into the bread and put it into the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. To see if the bread is baked through, take one bread and "knock" onto the bottom. If it sounds "hollow" it's done. Let cool on wirerack. As always, if you have a question about it; drop me a line.

Progress is happening on the sewer and water main upgrade for Bayside and Flushing — but some residents and business owners are feeling the project's negative effects.
Bayside resident Tony Albasini said his biggest issue is with the leftover dirt that accumulates on the streets.
Albasini added that parking is at a premium now that the work has started traveling east along 38th Avenue closer to where he lives.
"We have a bunch of people that live on those blocks and now they're parking down by us and we have to park a little further away now," said Albasini.
In May 2018, the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) broke ground on the $62.5 million sewer and water main replacement project, which is funded by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). According to DDC, project construction includes over seven miles of new water mains, new storm and sanitary sewers and 80 new fire hydrants and catch basins.
"New water mains will help to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water [while] new catch basins and storm sewers will help to mitigate flooding," said DDC.
Construction for the project was also planned for small portions of 158th Street, Clearview Expressway Service Road West and 216th Street.
Pierre said that DDC has completed sanitary sewer work at 38th Avenue from 215th to 216th streets and sewer work is currently happening on 216th from 38th to 40th avenues. By the end of January or February, Pierre said that they would begin installing distribution water mains on 38th Avenue from 206th Street to Francis Lewis Boulevard and sanitary sewer work on 38th Avenue from 215th Street toward 207th Street.
DCC said that all work is expected to be completed by 2021.

New Age Nicotine
by Tyler English | published Nov. 4th, 2019
illustration by Unique Fair-Smith
Vaping and electronic cigarettes are said to be safer than smoking combustible cigarettes — but that doesn't mean they aren't harmful. E-cigarettes are just as addictive as traditional cigarettes. Both have levels of nicotine that can lead to addiction and numerous health risks, according to John's Hopkins Medicine.
On top of the addictive qualities of nicotine contained in e-cigarettes, many unknown factors further add to their foggy nature. What is the vapor exactly? What are the true long-term health risks for someone who vapes? How can these devices be legally regulated with so many unknowns? Health professionals and engineers are working to get these answers.
Health Hauntings
Dr. Caroline Easton, professor in the College of Health Sciences and Technology, is conducting research into the health effects of vapes and e-cigarettes.
"Everyone may have thought that the e-cigarette was safer than your standard cigarette with nicotine ... but no one knew back then if it could be as detrimental or more," Easton said.
Given the recent boom in vaping popularity, the number of reported health problems linked to vaping are continuing to grow. Easton said that every day she is reading news stories about more and more young people being hospitalized with similar pulmonary symptoms that can be traced back to e-cigarettes.
The target market is focused on the younger demographics, the people who are not fully aware of the effects caused by such a normalized behavior. With this, the majority of health-related cases caused by vaping is centered around younger generations.
"We need more educational materials on it, we need more ads on [television] showing it, showing the negative effects of it," Easton said. "It might look cool and innocent, like a watch or a jump drive, and it smells good ... but look what happened to this person. Look what medical consequences can occur."
Easton said that when side effects of smoking combustible cigarettes grew more and more dangerous, commercials and advertisements sharing smokers' stories were released. With regards to vaping, medical concerns are beginning to pop up even faster than they did with cigarettes.
How can medical professionals prepare vape and e-cigarette users for potential side effects if those side effects are still unknown? The simple, yet scary answer: they can't.
Dr. Edward Hensel, associate dean of research and graduate studies in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering (KGCOE), is working alongside other researchers to view the different aspects of the ever-growing vaping culture. The research he and his team are doing focuses on the interface between the health risks and the regulatory actions and environments that control these substances.
"No tobacco products are safe; all regulations are focused on is really minimizing the harm," Hensel said.
With a background in engineering, Hensel is targeting his aspect of the research on the devices and liquids themselves — specifically, how they work and how they are designed.
E-cigarettes use what Hensel calls e-liquids — the oils and mixtures that are put into the device and form vapor. These contain a combination of chemicals to not only deliver nicotine and effects similar to tobacco, but also flavorings and other additives. Little is known about the liquids themselves, let alone what happens to them when they are turned into cotton candy-scented clouds.
"Electronic cigarettes are highly engineered devices, and the e-liquids that go into those devices are highly engineered," Hensel said.
"Electronic cigarettes are highly engineered devices, and the e-liquids that go into those devices are highly engineered."
Hensel compared modern day e-cigarettes to a classic combustible cigarette. A combustible cigarette could be pure tobacco crushed and rolled in paper, then smoked. Whereas that may not sound like a safe thing to do, users of pure rolled-tobacco cigarettes know exactly what is going into their body.
"Our lab is focused on ... the product characteristics that influence what emissions get delivered from the exit plane of the device to the mouth of the user," Hensel said.
User-Centered Research
Hensel is working closely with Dr. Risa Robinson, head of the Mechanical Engineering department in KGCOE. Robinson and Hensel have created research that utilizes actual user data to determine levels of emissions.
Robinson first began to focus her research on the particle patterns of inhalants back in college.
"I started looking at engineering and public policy and how that fits together, along with the physics of the particles," Robinson said. "Use your peripheral vision to solve this problem."
Her passion grew as the market for safer cigarettes also grew; however, cancer cases continued to rise. Now her research is focusing on e-cigarettes.
"We are looking at what they are vaping, how often they are vaping, how many puffs they are taking [and] what is in each puff," Robinson said.
Robinson is using a device to measure an e-cigarette user's daily puffing routine. The device is attached to the vape and measures how long each puff is, how much product is passing through it and how often it is puffed. The collected data is then run through a system to report the emission of the individual.
"When e-cigarettes first came out in 2006, people were saying that they have so much less nicotine in them than cigarettes," Robinson said. "It turns out that if people are vaping [e-cigarettes] all day long, by the time you add up all the puffs, they are actually getting the same amount of nicotine."
"By the time you add up all the puffs, they are actually getting the same amount of nicotine."
As time went on, Robinson said that e-cigarettes became more complicated and the levels of nicotine delivered to the users increased alongside different additives and chemicals.
For Robinson, Hensel and Easton, this research is more than what they learned in textbooks and from their research. It's about the interplay between health, engineering and public policy that makes this issue complex.
Experts are asking the questions and performing the research with new findings and new cases appearing every day. How can policymakers keep the public safe from what is currently being discovered? We just don't know.

Home/News/Is the Bitcoin Paradigm moving from virtual to real?
Is the Bitcoin Paradigm moving from virtual to real?
Florence Guillaume2022-08-31T10:30:34+02:00
The LexTech Institute, in collaboration with the Cercle du Coin and the Master in Innovation of the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), organized on June 24, 2022 a conference devoted to "The Bitcoin Paradigm". This conference gives us the opportunity to discuss in this blog post the representation of the Bitcoin world and to show how the development of new protocols that run on top of the Bitcoin blockchain allows for the improvement of privacy on the Internet.
From transactions conducted on-chain…
The Bitcoin blockchain has been established to enable peer-to-peer transactions that do not rely on a trusted third party. It is based on a decentralized technology, which allows the transfer of values to be performed in a secure manner without the involvement of financial intermediaries. This computer network hosts a crypto-currency (bitcoin, BTC) that can be traded upon it. The security of the system is guaranteed by the maintenance provided by thousands of nodes scattered around the world that share the transaction register in a distributed manner. In addition, some users perform mining, a process of verifying transactions by solving complex algorithms. The most recent transactions are assembled into blocks that are cryptographically secured and added to the blockchain. Each block is time-stamped, which can prove that the data recorded in the block existed at a specific date and time.
Due to its decentralized nature, Bitcoin is censorship-resistant, meaning that any transaction that is registered in a block is valid according to the rules of the network and thus no single entity can prevent, modify or cancel a transaction. Bitcoin is also a fully transparent system, every single user being able to verify any transaction executed on the network. Everyone is thus "controlling" the blockchain by being able to verify that any transaction is compliant with the rule of the network. This allows users to exchange bitcoins even if they do not trust each other. This capacity is illustrated by the expression "Don't trust, verify" (see P. De Filippi/M. Mannan/W. Reijers, Blockchain as a confidence machine: The problem of trust and challenges of governance, Technology in Society 62 (2020), 101284).
The technology behind Bitcoin has been adopted and developed on other platforms, including the Ethereum blockchain. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum allows the exchange of its native crypto-currency (ether, ETH). But this platform has an additional feature that offers more flexibility by allowing a layer of software to manage and automate transactions. These types of transactions are called smart contracts. The software automatically executes the transaction as soon as the predefined conditions are met. The use of a smart contract makes it possible, for example, to automatically transfer a certain amount of ether from one wallet to another at a predefined date or when a specific event has occurred. Ethereum has enabled the development of tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized applications (DApps), and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), which are used for different purposes but mainly for decentralized finance (DeFi).
…to transactions conducted off-chain…
Bitcoin is considered by its aficionados to be intrinsically more secure than other blockchains, such as Ethereum, due to its true decentralization and its reliance on the proof of work (PoW) consensus mechanism. But Bitcoin, like its competitors, is facing a scalability problem and struggles to support increasing load of transactions. As the number of transactions increases, the speed of execution decreases, because the number of transactions that can be performed per second remains the same. One way to solve this fundamental problem is to create additional layers, on top of the base blockchain, allowing the execution of transactions without directly using the base blockchain. For example, the use of a layer such as the Lightning Network enables Bitcoin to scale off-chain. By opening a payment channel between two users, this network allows a series of bitcoin transactions to be made without the need to mine each transaction. Only the transactions for opening and closing the channel are recorded on Bitcoin, while intermediate transactions are only recorded on the Lightning Network.
The RGB Protocol is one of those new applications which can be implemented directly on top of Bitcoin, as a second layer, or on top of the Lightning Network, as a third layer. The transactions performed with RGB happen off-chain and are not immediately recorded on Bitcoin. This avoids placing the computational burden on all the nodes that support Bitcoin, which allows for a significant increase in transaction volume. RGB has the added advantage of allowing the creation of smart contracts and thus brings applications such as DAOs and NFTs into the Bitcoin environment. The implementation of this protocol will facilitate the development of bitcoin finance (BiFi).
… for building a true privacy-preserving Internet
The most interesting innovation brought by the RGB Protocol is the improvement of privacy on the Internet. This protocol is private by default, which means that only the parties who participate in a transaction have the information about the transaction and have the means to validate it. For example, only the parties to a transfer of crypto-assets have the information about the transfer taking place and have the means to validate the information and value that is being transferred. This is made possible by the fact that RGB keeps the smart contract code and data off-chain. By doing that, it allows each user to regain control over their own data, thus offering more privacy than Bitcoin. It should also be noted that RGB is a digital rights management (DRM) system which allows a rights owner to exert control over data by himself. With RGB, each asset is held by its owner who is the only one to have the power of disposal over it. For example, RGB gives the power of verifying the rights attached to an NFT (e.g., the right to use or sell a piece of art) to its creator.
The developers of RGB remain true to the basic ideology of Bitcoin as a decentralized system and stay in line with the Bitcoin paradigm. When we mention the Bitcoin paradigm, we inevitably think of the Cypherpunks who try to acquire privacy on the Internet by using cryptography. "We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money." (Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1993). Bitcoin has its roots in the Cypherpunk movement, allowing its users to regain monetary sovereignty. "Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." (ibid.). However, we can see today that there is a progressive loss of the original identity of the blockchain ecosystem, as a result of states and central authorities taking over control. The return of centralization would lead to a paradigm shift for blockchains in general and for Bitcoin in particular.
In this context of "recentralization", the development of applications that run on top of the Bitcoin blockchain is not only an important technological progress, but also a natural development of a technology that is only at the beginning of its evolution. Projects such as the RGB Protocol make it possible to re-emphasize the values defended by the Cypherpunks. They also fit perfectly into the development of Web 3.0, which is characterized by decentralization and the redistribution of power from centralized platforms into the hands of users. Web 3.0 should indeed see the rise of a more privacy-preserving Internet.
The features of the RGB Protocol will be further discussed in the blog post "On the way to Bitcoin Citadels via the RGB Protocol".

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's military expanded its massive manhunt for a Palestinian assailant on Monday as authorities announced that a second Israeli died of wounds sustained in a West Bank shooting attack the previous day.
Beilinson Hospital said Ahiad Ettinger, a 47-year-old father of 12, died of his wounds from the shooting and stabbing attack near the settlement of Ariel on Sunday. The attack also killed 19-year-old soldier Gal Keidan and seriously wounded another soldier.
Ettinger, an ordained rabbi, lived in a West Bank settlement and headed a religious seminary in Tel Aviv. He managed to get off a few shots from his personal sidearm before he was gunned down.
"Rabbi Ettinger's life's work will continue and be among us even after his passing, and the strength he gave his pupils and the community he led will continue to strengthen us through the enormous grief and sorrow," said President Reuven Rivlin.
Israeli troops went house to house overnight in search of the assailant, identified as a 19-year-old Palestinian, and closed off a cluster of villages where he is believed to be hiding.
He added that Ariel would begin constructing some 840 already approved housing units in a new neighborhood the following day.
The military said the attacker fatally stabbed Keidan, the soldier, before stealing his assault rifle and opening fire at passing vehicles. He then carjacked another vehicle and sped away, firing toward more soldiers before escaping into a nearby Palestinian village.
The military said it had surveyed his home for future demolition. Israel often demolishes homes of alleged Palestinian assailants or their families as a policy it says deters future attacks.
Sunday's attack came after two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire last week in separate West Bank incidents that followed a period of relative calm, even as the Israeli military has been warning of the potential of a new escalation of violence.
Last week, Hamas fired a pair of missiles from Gaza toward the Israeli city of Tel Aviv in a rare attack into the heart of Israel that looked to set the sides into another round of escalation. But the launch was apparently a technical malfunction and after a brief Israeli reprisal, calm was restored.
Israel is currently in the midst of an election campaign, and Egypt is trying to broker a long-term truce between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers.

Sir David Stirling
(Redirected from David Stirling)
Sir David Stirling (15 November 1915 - 4 November 1990) was the founder of the Special Air Service (UK). wiki
"Stirling was the founder of the Capricorn Africa Society - a society for promoting an Africa free from racial discrimination. Founded in 1949, while Africa was still under colonial rule, it had its high point at the 1956 Salima Conference. However, because of his emphasis on a qualified and highly elitist voting franchise, Africans opposed it. Conversely Caucasian settlers believed it to be too liberal. Consequently the society was ineffective, although surprisingly the South African Communist Party used Stirling's multi-racial elitist model for its 1955 "Congress Alliance" when taking over the African National Congress of South Africa. Stirling resigned as Chairman of the Society in 1959.
"Stirling was concerned about the political power of trade unions in Britain, so in 1975 he set up the organisation GB75, which he described as 'an organisation of apprehensive patriots' which would help the country in the event of strikes." [1]
