BRs are ecosystems, recognized on the basis of uniform, internationally agreed criteria, where models of sustainable use of the biosphere are being developed, tested and implemented. As so-called "Learning sites for sustainable development", they serve not only to protect and maintain certain ecosystems, but also to carry out ecologic research, environmentally aware land use and education for sustainable development.
Unlike national parks, biosphere reserves do not only protect untouched nature, but focus on inhabited cultural landscapes, often shaped over centuries by their population.
The expectations of what biosphere reserves should deliver are manifold and very ambitious. Based on their three main functions, BRs should preserve biological diversity, protect natural resources (protective function) and promote regional development towards a model region for sustainable action (development function). At the same time, they should also serve as nationally and internationally liked sites of research and education (logistic function). In addition, biosphere reserves should strengthen public awareness and increase responsibility for the impact of human activities. At the same time, however, they should also implement the abstract principle of sustainability in practice – with innovative solutions and the involvement of as many partners from the region as possible – including local communities.
In order to fulfil these functions, biosphere reserves are divided into three zones with different priorities for the implementation of the biosphere reserve objectives: core area, buffer zone, and transition area.
Please note: UNESCO has defined "biosphere reserve" as the official term for such regions. In view of the fact that many people regard a reserve as a protection area which excludes people, the term has been translated into Austrian German as "biosphere park".


Thank you for taking the time to visit my Web page. I am honored to have the chance to introduce myself and tell you about my practice at Kaiser Permanente.
I came to the U.S. after graduating from medical school in 1988. Los Angeles was the first city I settled in, and I quickly developed a love for the weather and the people here. I then decided to make Los Angeles my home as soon as I finished my training. I completed my residency in internal medicine and fellowship training in cardiovascular disease, and I was appointed the chief of medical residents in the Internal Medicine Department at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Immediately after my graduation in 1998, I decided to join Kaiser Permanente. I chose to become a doctor because I felt passionate about helping people and making them feel better. As physician-in-charge of cardiology at the Panorama City Medical Center, I dedicate my time to work with physicians and staff to coordinate care to our members. I will work closely with you to help you stay healthy. I always strive to put you at ease and work with you to get your heart healthy and strong.
My practice spans cardiovascular disease prevention to disease management. It will be a privilege for me to be able to work with you and your family in order to make changes to your lifestyle to promote healthy living and disease prevention. I specialize in cardiac procedures and the implantation and maintenance of cardiac pacemakers and other devices that help control irregular heartbeats. Our cardiology team (physicians, nurses, and staff) works well together and will strive to be compassionate, capable, and professional while you are in our care.
I believe in and practice Kaiser Permanente's philosophy of preventive medicine and a healthy lifestyle, which includes fitness and healthy eating habits. That's why I try to enjoy healthy meals and exercise daily to cut down on stress. I keep a good attitude toward my busy schedule and try to balance my work and family time. I enjoy outdoor sports with my family, such as soccer, bicycle riding, and swimming. With my wife, I enjoy walking in the park and exercising at the gym. I also enjoy watching my daughter perform Greek dancing. I try to take mini vacation breaks in order for me to recharge so I can go back to my busy schedule with a good attitude.


All About Spelling - Lydia wants to join in on the fun!
Nate made up a daily and weekly chore chart for our family (not Tommy or Lydia). I think he was tired of my text messages saying, "I need a cleaning lady!!!" ha!
We've been doing these specific charts for a month and it has been fabulous! Although, it does take a long time to train the kids to properly do these chores, it's been worth it.
Emilia finally finished her painting for our basement. It looks fabulous!
Matthew loves to make lego creations.
We went to the dinosaur exhibit at the public museum.
They also had a LEGO exhibit. Tommy (3 years old - not in this picture) crawled under this railing and touched this tall tower. Thankfully, Emilia turned around just in time to scream, "NO!" so that we didn't have a toppling tower. Good grief.
Lydia's little friend at the field trip. They are so cute!
Emilia has been teaching herself the recorder and piano.
A friend taught Nate how to make lattes and even gave us this cool machine - so nice! And so yummy!
Couldn't resist ending with this picture of these two wonderful people. My handsome hubby and pretty baby girl. I am thankful for the family God has graciously given me!
Your daughter's painting is incredible! You've been up to some great things. Your chore charts look fabulous!
Loved all your pics! I loved the idea of a chore sheet and your daughters painting looked awesome! You have the wheels in my mind turning!! Thank you for sharing!

Two-Vehicle Automobile Accident In Sacramento, Part 3 of 5
(Please note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the participants in this car accident/personal injury case and its proceedings.)
At deposition, Defendant also remembered telling the police what lane she was in. However, Mr. Owen distinctly remembers hearing Defendant tell the investigating officer at the scene that she had turned left "from the second lane," which would be a lane for through traffic. Mr. Owen remembers the officer repeating the question two or three times, and getting the same response each time.
Defendant has the burden of proof with respect to her allegations and her Affirmative Defenses, and Defendant's recall of events during her deposition make it impossible for her to prove: 1) that Plaintiff did anything whatsoever to cause the accident and/or 2) that she was proceeding cautiously in making her ill fated attempt at a left turn across oncoming traffic.
The accident was clearly caused by the negligence of Ms. White in either of two ways:
1. She jumped the red arrow for the left turn and attempted to squeeze between the gap in oncoming traffic in front of Mr. Owen.
2. She made the turn from the lane next to the left turn lane, having the green and seeing that same gap in traffic.
Ms. White therefore either ran the red arrow or made an illegal left turn. In either case she failed to lawfully yield to oncoming traffic in the intersection. Plaintiff has the burden of proving that the accident was caused by Defendant's failure to exercise reasonable and due care while making a left turn. Failing to make certain that the intersection was clear before turning left it was the negligence of Defendant in either version.
Plaintiff Owen, a former commercial pilot and, at the time of the accident, a professional driver, was proceeding pursuant to his custom and practice of constant vigilance and regular monitoring of speed, traffic control signals, and other vehicles. He observed the green light at Green from 300 feet away, and kept visual contact to verify that it remained green as he approached the intersection. He entered the intersection on the solid green, at about 30 miles-per-hour and had no clue of any problem until Defendant pulled out directly in his path. Left turn arrows for traffic turning left onto Green Street were red in the direction of Plaintiff's travel, and left turn traffic in Plaintiff's direction of travel was stopped.
Any negligence on the part of Plaintiff would be the result of him entering the intersection on the red, or at high speed. No evidence exists as to either of these possibilities because neither occurred.
INJURIES/TREATMENT
Mr. Owen sustained neck and back injuries injury which causes him to continue to experience neck pain radiating down his right arm to his thumb and two fingers. These injuries are permanent, are the result of the subject accident, and will continue to adversely affect the quality of his life and his ability to earn a living
Mr. Owen was first seen by Chiropractor Kate Brown, on February 8, 2006. At that time, Dr. Brown noted that Mr. Owen was experiencing pain in his right neck, shoulder and upper arm, with numbness in his hands. During examination, Dr. Brown noted swelling, tenderness and pain upon palpation along the cervical and upper thoracic spine. Dr. Brown recommended that Mr. Owen undergo an MRI scan. (See Part 4 of 5.)

Flipping him to the rebuilding Detroit Pistons for sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic could be the piece Cleveland needs to make it out of the Eastern Conference. The 33-year-old sharpshooter is having a career year in the Motor City at 21.2 points per game, and that two-year extension he signed at the start of the season was nothing more than a shrewd move to remove his de facto "rental" label in 2022-23, thereby increasing his value.

Spectacular Politics and Rancière's Radical Egalitarianism
The other night, my friend Steve Maloney was asking me whether politics, and specifically political theory, has been reduced to public relations. I like to think that, while it may be that our task is PR, (a) it may always have been, and (b) that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Peter Hallward has an article in the January/February New Left Review that where he basically takes up the same problem. It's entitled "Rancière's Theatrocracy," (sorry, paying subscribers only) and mostly deals with the work Rancière has done on the the relation between liberation politics and the staging of equality. In this "staging," we're meant to pick up a double entendre: both the theater and civil society involve a crucial staging. Public relations shades into pretending, costuming, and play-acting.
The Platonic critique of the poets and actors has always been closely associated with his distaste for Athenian democracy, since the same audience that could so easily be moved by the narrative manipulations of the tragedians could also be persuaded by passionate rhetoric and illogical sophistry. Many contemporary progressives find, in the light of democracy's recent failures to supply satisfying electoral outcomes, that democracy may not be all it's cracked up to be. The democratic penchant for short, assymetrical conflicts, combined the resurgence of the spoils system, suggest to these fair-weather progressives that a poorly-educated populace may not always be the best group to consult. In a number of different contexts, I've seen a creeping elitism amongst people who would once have cringed at the thought of hierarchies. As I understand it, the original neo-conservatives followed this same trajectory, moving from vanguardist communism to meritocratic rule-of-law.
This is where Rancière comes in. Like many of the other students of Althusser (Badiou, Balibar, Foucault, etc.) he has been trying to account for emancipatory politics without utopian teleology or deterministic materialism, the collapsed havens of orthodox marxists. The question that drives these thinkers, and my own thought, is how to side with the dispossessed, the dominated, the invisible, without falling into despair? Rancière began answering it by turning towards the pre-Marxists workers communes and proletarian self-emancipation projects theorized by Marx the scholar, and celebrated by Marx the pamphleteer. Rancière's first presumption is that Marx's efforts have come to stand in for the various and sundry projects that inspired them; by returning to the original source material, he hoped to wipe the slate of the tyrannical nation-state capitalisms of the Stalin and Mao, the absurd in-fighting and orthodoxies of the French Communist Party (PCF), and the association of communism with fascism and totalitarianism. His goal, in other words, has been to find what was lost in the institutionalization of these private and local liberations.
The best text for deriving his theory of emancipation remains his book, The Ignorant Schoolmaster, which takes up the theories of Joseph Jacotot, exiled from France when the monarchists came back into power during the Second Restoration. Stuck in Belgium, Jacotot still managed to teach poor children, with whom he did not share a language, to read Flemish. He developed an egalitarian pedagogical theory that levels the last bastion of elitism: intellectual superiority. He located supposed differences in capacity in the poor distribution of attention and knowledge, such that even motivational deficiencies can be charged to the inadequate expectations of the teacher. The trick Jacotot is famous for is showing illiterate parents how to teach their children to read! This removes even the supposed expertise of the teacher, and is definitely a spiritual ancestor (though apparently not an acknowledged contributor) to John Dewey's methods. This is radical egalitarianism indeed: you can see now the opposition I was pushing earlier between the vanguardist Trotskyists, who in their despair at the unteachable proletariat became corporate neo-conservatives, and a thoroughgoing equality that trusts the demos.
Hallward notes that this trust of the audience is partially dependent on removing even the distinction between actor and viewer: thus, the political demonstrations of recent globalization and antiwar protestors look more like Rancière's definition of politics than anything that happens between Russ Feingold and the GOP. Participation and festivity are key elements of the democratic theater Rancière wishes us to embrace. Being part of a crowd, demonstrating to yourself and each other the potency possible even to the disenfranchised, is the space where egalitarian staging takes place. This equality can be dissipated in an instant, of course, just as a crowd can be quickly whipped into a directed frenzy by a skilled orator, losing its self-direction along with its anarchism by submitting to the manipulations of a leader.
So long as it persists, however, this spectacular politics entails a Rousseauist carnival of freedom. No masters, no slaves, just a public, relating to itself without mediation. Rancière says, "All my work on workers' emancipation showed that the most prominent of claims put forward by the workers and the poor was precisely the claim to visibility, a will to enter the political ream of appearance, the affirmation of a capacity for appearance." As Hallward himself notes, this model of political action is incapable of sustaining or institutionalizing itself; it is spontaneous and ephemeral, improvised and aleatory. It happens and then subsides, leaving no great documents or lasting legislation. The real question is why we ever thought that emancipation could come by cementing our powers for collective action in established bureaucracies whose task is to suppress the very spontaneity that founded them?
One response to "Spectacular Politics and Rancière's Radical Egalitarianism"
I would add as recommended reading for your list, Michel Foucault's "What is Enlightenment?" which reclaims Kant's essay of the same title and saves the idea of enlightenment from the Enlightenment iteslf (it's that good!). As stirring as I find Fouacult's essay, I wonder if this idea of enlightenment holds any currency for the demos (I think Foucault would be cynical about this as well). Here, I agree with Arendt, that "rule by everyone is rule by no one", and rule by no one is not a real phenomenon as long as will and action are separate. I have trouble believing that the disciplinary power of the world will do anything more than change form, and I think that means that all the normative suggestions of the future moral world as descrbied by MacIntyre, Rorty, Marcuse, Marx, Weber, etc. are not going to be realized, and I wonder if all of these worlds that they make are not simply acts of Nietzschean self-creation and revaluation that can guide aware selves in a world of shaped and molded "last men"… but it's late and I'm taking Benadryl, so who knows.

The Most Popular Colombian Women
May 29, 2022 January 18, 2022 by Monira Parvin
Colombia has had a 30 per cent quota for women's illustration for a decade; but, for the 2018 – 2022 interval, out of 279 seats in Congress, solely fifty six are occupied by ladies. "We ran a door-to-door campaign without any cash, without promising public tasks, however explaining the needs and educating the people," says Tunubalá, her smile evoking her pride at having defeated her opponents via pedagogy. We're documenting the threats to humanitarian response within the nation and offering a platform for these bearing the brunt of the invasion. Where, she requested, have been these officers when she was asking for assist for the threatened girls in her community.
"I obtained many threats and was kidnapped for a number of hours," recalled Deisy, one other girl who fled Tibú and whose name has been modified to guard her privateness. She left in August 2021, after a video was released that accused her of sexual promiscuity.

The Court reasoned that such provisions were not aimed toward withholding rights from men, however instead had been geared toward correcting any shortcomings within the rights owed to girls.
Originally from Caldas in the Andean region of Colombia, and now residing in Bogotá, Zuluaga is intimately linked to both contexts.
The Court also held that the rape needn't have been reported to the authorities, as was argued by the defendant.

They highlighted an underemphasis on RMC in each medical coaching and clinical practice, noting that clinicians are neither trained within the ideas of RMC nor how to implement it for numerous patients. Several members additionally discussed the hegemonic role played by clinicians throughout childbirth, whose word is seen as so superior that it might possibly never be questioned, especially by the patient. The current examine is the primary of our knowledge to establish drivers and potential interventions to get rid of D&A towards an indigenous group in Colombia. The indigenous group Embera (which in the Colombian department of Antioquia contains the subgroups Chamí, Eyabida, and Dobida) represent the most important proportion of indigenous individuals (nearly 44%) in Medellín, the capital of Antioquia and the setting of this project .
Together with our local partners, we're bringing these views and solutions to inform progressive US policymaking. Armed actors additionally often monitored the costume and behaviors of neighborhood members together with the regulation of knickknack, hairstyles, and clothing length. Women had been forbidden from sporting clothes that uncovered their our bodies and generally were ordered to put on particular clothes. When sexual violence was used against ladies and women as punishment for gender transgressions, it was usually accepted by the neighborhood, with victims viewed as "deserving" such punishments for breaking or transgressing gender norms. Gender oppression is all the time skilled more acutely when intertwined with discrimination based mostly on animus towards people primarily based on race, ethnicity, nationality, or gender. It additionally exacerbates oppression based mostly on sexual orientation, gender id or other statuses.

For every subject, we subtracted the variety of the silhouette identified as ideal from the variety of the silhouette recognized as present to acquire a measure of physique dissatisfaction, based on Bulik et al.23 Larger variations represent larger ranges of body dissatisfaction. We compared the distribution of each of those outcomes by categories of sociodemographic predictors and BMI by estimating means (±SD). Next, we fit linear regression fashions to estimate multivariate adjusted imply differences within the physique form outcomes by categories of the covariates. We used sturdy estimates of variance to construct 95% CIs across the means.24 These estimates don't rely on the multivariate normality assumption. The effect of clustering from the sampling strategy was negligible and dropped from the fashions for parsimony. This study was performed as a part of a vitamin and well being study of schoolchildren in Bogotá, Colombia.
The Court ordered the healthcare provider to pay restitution damages to the girl together with all damages brought on by its improper refusal to carry out the process and any medically needed services ensuing from the start.

Richard Frederick Offer (1909 – 6 February 2007) was an English rower who won Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta and a silver medal at the 1938 British Empire Games.

Offer was born at Hampton Wick, the son of Henry John Offer and his wife Vera Jenny Burgoine. His maternal
grandfather, Alfred Burgoine, was a boat designer who built one of Queen Victoria's Royal Barges and a motor launch that held the world water speed record. He was educated at Tiffin School where he began rowing. He joined Kingston Rowing Club in 1929, where his brothers Tom and Jack Offer were already members.

Offer excelled at rowing, in particular partnering his brother Jack in the pairs. They also took part in skiffing, being members of The Skiff Club. They won the Gentlemen's Double Sculls at the Skiff Championships Regatta in 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1935. In 1936 the pair won Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta. Two years later they were selected to compete in the 1938 British Empire Games. Offer worked in an insurance company in the City of London and had to take unpaid leave to be able to compete.  In spite of the difficulties in maintaining training during the six-week sea voyage to Australia they won the silver medal in the double sculls event.

Offer was also a sailor with a boat on the south coast, and later at the Thames Sailing Club at Surbiton where he owned a Thames Rater which was designed and built by his grandfather.  He also played rugby for the Old Tiffinians and at County level in the winter months.

At the start of World War II, Offer was a volunteer fire-watcher on the River Thames until he gained his Commission in the Royal Navy and was employed on convoy escorts. At the D-Day Normandy landings he was a commander of tank landing craft LCT708, and lead the landings on Gold Beach.

After the war, Offer returned to rowing at Kingston RC, where he competed until the 1950s. He then began coaching at Kingston and at Tiffin School, where he inspired successes in regattas including Henley and coached future international rowers. He played a major part in developing Kingston RC's headquarters at Canbury Gardens, Kingston and helped in the running of Kingston Regatta. He became president of Kingston Rowing Club in 1993.

ELECTRIC CARS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Posted on April 16, 2021 July 19, 2021 by Baptiste Lessard
Diesel scandal, emissions scandal, particulate matter emissions – the good reputation of classic petrol and diesel cars has been significantly damaged in recent months by a number of scandals and studies. Electric cars, on the other hand, are experiencing an ever-increasing boom as an environmentally friendly alternative.
But are they really so gentle on the environment? We took a closer look at the life cycle assessment of electric cars and checked whether, from an ecological point of view, it was really worthwhile to invest in electronically operated vehicles.
ARE ELECTRIC CARS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
Electric cars are often cited as a solution to the climate problems caused by car traffic. Politicians also see the increasing integration of electric cars into road transport as an opportunity to reduce CO2emissions and particulate matter pollution. About ten years ago, the Chancellor called for one million electric cars to roll on German roads by 2020. However, Merkel has now had to revise this quite ambitious government target, since the share of electric cars in Germany, despite the premium, is currently only at a low 0.7 percent. The implementation of the planned project therefore seems extremely unrealistic.
Nevertheless, there are good reasons why more and more motorists are choosing to buy an electric car. The reputation that precedes this is usually decisive for sales: while diesel cars count as the biggest polluters in road traffic, electric cars powered by car electricity from an ecological origin are regarded as a clean and, above all, environmentally friendly alternative. But is the positive image of electric vehicles really justified? Are they really more environmentally friendly than vehicles with classic internal combustion engines? In order to be able to make statements about the life cycle balance of an electric car, several factors must be taken into account, such as production and electricity supply.
CONSUMPTION AND RANGE OF ELECTRIC CARS
Larger and heavier vehicles tend to have higher power consumption, of course. The differences between the individual electric models in terms of range and consumption are still very large at the moment. The highest range does not necessarily have the energy-efficient vehicle at the moment, but is mainly achieved by large battery capacities. This is why the Tesla models with a range of 451 kilometers differ best compared to the competition, according to the ADAC Ecotest. The ranges determined by ADAC vary between 112 and 451 kilometers for the different models. The vehicles consume between 14.7 kWh and 28.1 kWh per 100 kilometers.

THE ECO-BALANCE OF ELECTRIC CARS
Studies relating to the environmental performance of electric cars have come to contradictory results in terms of the life cycle assessment. The entire life path, from production to useful life to disposal, was included in the analyses. A study by the German Federal Environment Agency for Humans and the Environment finds that electric cars perform better in their life cycle assessment than cars with internal combustion engines. A similar study carried out on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management in Austria comes to a similar conclusion. Here, too, the life cycle was better when looking at the entire life cycle of electric cars compared to cars with internal combustion engines.
According to a study by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in Heidelberg, electric cars have a similar climate balance to cars with internal combustion engines, as they require significantly more energy in their production: In the production of their highly complex accumulators, tons of greenhouse gases are produced, which are released and thus pose a great burden on our planet – comparable to the pollutants that a conventional combustion engine emits in traffic within eight years. This was the conclusion of researchers from Sweden who found a negative climate balance in terms of production based on a meta-study published in 2017.
LITHIUM BATTERIES IN ELECTRIC CARS
The batteries for electric cars are extremely worrying for several reasons. In addition to the water-intensive extraction of lithium, the raw material cobalt is also used in their production. This resource, too, is only available to a limited extent, so its extraction is extremely expensive – at the expense of nature. Many of the raw materials also come from China or the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the promotion not only violates human rights, but also the environment is increasingly destroyed by the pollution of rivers and soils.
Another problem you need to consider when you're playing with the idea of getting an electric car is the question of where to go with the battery? Lithium cannot be recycled yet. While many scientists and experts are working on a way to reuse the batteries of electric cars, research has not yet gone that far. In the future, therefore, a number of changes will have to be made in battery technology in order to implement an environmentally friendly recycling process.

Effects Of Nuclear Energy In The Environment
Posted on April 12, 2021 April 8, 2021 by Baptiste Lessard
Electricity can be generated from uranium: nuclear energy. In addition, 10 to 100 times less net CO2 is released than with energy generation from fossil fuels. That is about the same as with electricity production from wind, water, and sun. But opinions about nuclear energy differ greatly.
Planning to buy a new car? If you're having second thoughts about buying a car please visit 'michigan new car lemon laws' for more details.
Proponents regard nuclear energy as safe, sustainable, and necessary to combat climate change. Opponents consider the technology not necessary and fundamentally unsafe: because of the radioactive waste and the risk of serious accidents, such as in Fukushima after the Japan earthquake.
Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy
Virtually no CO2 and other greenhouse gases are released during the generation of nuclear energy.
Uranium is relatively cheap as a raw material.
For nuclear energy, we are less dependent on politically unstable regions than on the use of oil and gas.
Uranium is found all over the world in rocks, soil, and seawater.
The biggest disadvantage of nuclear energy is the radioactive waste from a plant, but the waste from uranium mining and the demolition waste after the closure of a nuclear plant is also radioactive. Radioactive radiation is a major health risk. Highly active radioactive waste continues to emit radiation for tens of thousands of years, posing a risk to thousands of generations after ours. There is currently no good definitive storage for this.
The chance of a serious accident is small, but the possible consequences are great. This mainly concerns long-term adverse effects due to increased radiation levels.
The construction of a nuclear power plant is very expensive (billions of euros), as is demolition (dismantling).
Nuclear power plants and factories handling nuclear waste pose a risk of misuse. They can be made suitable for the production of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear energy in the Netherlands
About six percent of the electricity we use in the Netherlands is generated by a nuclear power plant (2014 figures). The only working nuclear power plant in the Netherlands is located in Borssele (Zeeland). In addition, the Netherlands also imports electricity (including from France, Belgium, and Germany) that is partly generated with nuclear energy. In the Netherlands, research with nuclear energy is also taking place at six locations (nuclear research). The best-known research center is at ECN in Petten.
What is Nuclear Energy?
Nuclear energy is the energy released by splitting atomic nuclei of the ore uranium. Uranium has a heavy, unstable atomic nucleus and divides itself into two or lighter nuclei during nuclear fission. During this fission, a large amount of energy is released, which triggers other uranium atoms to fission nuclear again. That is called a chain reaction. In a nuclear reactor, a nuclear power plant keeps this chain reaction under control. In a nuclear power plant, tens of thousands of so-called uranium oxide fuel rods lie in a reactor bath filled with water. Nuclear fission takes place in the rods, while water flows past. The energy released during nuclear fission is heat. The water absorbs that heat, reaches a temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius and then turns into steam. This steam drives turbines that generate electricity.
The stock of uranium
Uranium is not renewable, so gone = gone, but the stock is large. The supply of cheaply extracted uranium is sufficient to produce (with the latest generation of nuclear reactors) the same amount of electricity every year for about 100 years as is currently being used worldwide.
Radioactivity and health
If a living creature receives radioactive radiation, it can cause serious health problems. Radioactivity increases the risk of leukemia (blood cancer), hereditary conditions, and abnormalities in babies exposed to radiation in the womb. High-level waste continues to emit radiation for tens of thousands of years, posing a responsibility and risk to thousands of generations after ours.
Future of nuclear energy
Fourth-generation power stations
Today's nuclear power plants belong to the 'third generation' power plants. Research is being conducted worldwide into a 'fourth generation'. In doing so, essentially new concepts would increase reactor safety and reduce the quantity and life of radioactive waste. For example, the so-called transmutation of radioactive waste would convert long-lived radioactive material into short-lived material. The development of this technique will probably take decades to come.
In addition to nuclear fission, there is another technique that could potentially generate energy in the future by changing the nucleus of atoms: nuclear fusion. The chemical reactions in the sun are the best-known example of nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the nuclei of two substances (deuterium and tritium) fuse together. This creates helium (another substance), a nuclear particle (neutron), and a lot of energy. The raw material deuterium is widely available. Tritium is made in the plant.

Tips for Eco-Friendly Sewing
Posted on April 4, 2021 October 8, 2021 by Monika Ehrlichmann
There's a broad and enduring pleasure in sewing something. Whether you're creating a skirt or hand sewing an embroidery, when you complete a project, you have something that you executed with your own two hands.
All the sewing using we're making can have a meaningful influence on the environment. Whether you're a passionate sewer or a weekend dabbler, below are some basic ways to make your pieces a bit more environmental-friendly.
Sew With Organic Cotton
Typically grown cotton is one of the various polluting products, and it occupies an excessive number of pesticides and insecticides. In India, known to one-third of all cotton farmers, cotton holds just 5 percent of farmland, but cotton-growing values for 54 percent of all pesticides utilized each year, as per the Environmental Justice Foundation.
Accumulate and Reuse Fragments
The majority of sewing designs provide a fair number of available scraps, and for a long time, those fragments were assigned to the trash. But several sewers are developing awareness of excess they generated and they're searching for methods to use their scraps, or at least keep them from the garbage trash.
A few basic ways you can use your pieces are to cut them into tiny pieces so they can be utilized as filler in tiny packed toys, decorations and even pillows.
Use Upcycled Resources
Next time you require a brand new material, sacrifice a journey to the fabric shop and go to your neighborhood thrift store to get some excellent, economical fabrics. From velvet suits from the '80s to floral decorations to important cotton shirts, you can see all kinds of clothing at thrift stores. Don't forget to keep an eye out for clothing that features cool vintage buttons—a $5 shirt is a steal if it comes with buttons that will make your next sewing project pop.
Simply by choosing organic fabrics, reducing waste, and making the most of no-longer-loved clothing, you can indulge your love of sewing and reduce your environmental footprint. Talk about a win-win.

It's been more than 10 years since Jack Nicholson played Jimmy Hoffa, but this week in France, the Oscar-winner was behaving more like a labor leader than a movie star.
Nicholson showed his support for French workers Tuesday when the movie he is filming in Paris with Keanu Reeves and Diane Keaton was shut down by striking actors, technicians, costume designers and other stagehands.
Nicholson picked up a bullhorn to ask protesters what the problem was. Told that artists' rights were threatened, the actor voiced his support. In broken French, Nicholson proclaimed, "The struggle continues!"

Home/Culture and Society/Arts/Hollywood Fringe Fest Theater Review: 'Sin: A Pop Opera' and 'Annabella'
A modern "Faust" and a musical fairy tale fail to live up to their full potential in their Fringe debuts.
Hollywood Fringe Fest Theater Review: 'Sin: A Pop Opera' and 'Annabella'
Kurt Gardner June 15, 2015	Comments Off on Hollywood Fringe Fest Theater Review: 'Sin: A Pop Opera' and 'Annabella' 153 Views
Sin: A Pop Opera
This show should really be called Sin In Concert, as its bare-bone staging feels more like a concert than a full-fledged theatrical production.
It's the old devil-made-me-do-it story with a few twists: Satana (Saudia Yasmin), who is divorced from her creator, Luis (Rich Brunner), arrives on earth in search of souls. She enlists the services of Devlin (Christopher Robert Smith), a down-on-his-luck record producer, to help lure innocent pop wannabe Faith (Sara Kennedy) into her clutches. But when newly minted poster Faith slips into the typical drugged-out rock and roll downward spiral, Devlin seeks to intervene and pull her back from the brink of damnation with the help of Luis, much to Satana's chagrin.
Written and composed by multihyphenate Scott Claus, Sin is fun when it's setting up its initial concept, but once the story is laid out, it swiftly becomes repetitive. And when the staging is so skimpy, with little to attract the eye, the music must be able to draw us in. Alas, even though Claus provides us with a selection of styles and tempos, the lyrics merely repeat the themes already set up at the beginning of the piece and it becomes exhausting.
On a positive note, Yasmin is a talent to watch for. With her devilish eyes and terrific pipes, she brings a delightful intensity to her role. Smith and Kennedy also deliver the musical goods, but Brunner brings an oddly stentorian mien to his performance — I guess that's because he's God. Dancers/choreographers Kirby Harrell and Natalie Williams must have excellent aerobic systems, as they manage to keep dancing and thrashing wildy in the background throughout the entire production.
Finally, Sin takes itself far too seriously given the material. Aside from a couple of genre spoofs and Yasmin's slithering succubus, Claus gives it all an unnecessarily ponderous reverence. A lot more humor and campiness would've been most welcome.
Sin: A Pop Opera plays the Hollywood Fringe June 23, 26 and 28 at Three Clubs, 1123 Vine Street. Tickets can be obtained on the Fringe site.
Another operatic opus debuting at the Fringe is Annabella, an operetta with a book, music, and lyrics by Sam Johnides and Tony Gonzales. The synopsis of the show makes it sound rather enchanting — "A traveling puppeteer finds love with a reclusive witch of the woods, but madness and betrayal break this fragile bond."
When first we meet the puppeteer Lorenzo (Tony Gonzales), he introduces his marionettes (November Christine, Amanda Rae Troisi, John Haukoos), all of whom have a slightly sinister demeanor and seem like they could come to life spontaneously. When he is waylaid by highwaymen, he is rescued by Valentina (Melinda Ehrlich) who takes him back to her cottage in the woods and her ward, Annabella (Kimberly Hessler) heals him with her magical powers. But even as Lorenzo and Annabella fall in love, the evil Valentina plots to have him for herself.
Even with bare-bones staging and a bit of costuming and paint for the marionettes, this piece had the potential to be something really interesting, but the lack of incident and a ponderous, repetitive score quickly become tiring. All the songs seem to be in the same key and the same rhythm, and they all end in the same crescendo. Furthermore, the lyrics constantly dwell on yearning and loneliness and unrequited love without really helping to develop the characters. Sadly, when something dramatic finally happens during the final moments of the piece, it's all become rather risible.
That said, the performers all acquit themselves well; one just wishes they had memorable songs to sing.
Annabella plays the Hollywood Fringe June 16, 20, 21, 23, 26 and 27 at the Lounge Theatre, 6201 Santa Monica Blvd. Tickets can be obtained on the Fringe site.

No Man's Sky and the Simulation Theory
So, um, this now exists. Here, in 2016:
No Man's Sky, a video game that automatically generates unique planets, complete with their own unique terrain, native animals and culture. A game whose algorithm generates over 18 quintillion possible planets, more than one could explore even if played 24/7 over thousands of years. It creates millions more planets than what we have in our own, "real" galaxy.
I can't think of stronger evidence supporting the simulation theory – the theory that our universe is a simulation run on an unbelievably powerful computer.
If after mere decades since developing the first computer, we're able to simulate another universe of this scale and complexity, then it's extremely likely that other civilisations have and will also do so, countless times over. And if there's countless possible simulated realities, the chances of OUR reality being the one "base" reality, the reality from which all these simulations will arise from, is really, really, REALLY small. Not impossible, but very improbable.
I need to lie down.

In the wake of the Equifax data breach, customer privacy has never been more important. Lucky Orange considers customer privacy a priority and has always taken steps to protect sensitive information from being transmitted or collected.
Out of the box, Lucky Orange does not capture keystroke data and instead replaces every character from every field on every page with an asterisk before data is recorded. All data is kept anonymous.
Keystroke capture can be enabled for certain non-sensitive fields, such as coupon codes. To do so, you must opt out of keystroke blocking, and you must add a class name to your desired field to tell the system it is not sensitive.
Certain fields, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and social security numbers, are internally marked as sensitive and cannot be overridden. Lucky Orange has no need for others' passwords, and neither should you.
Our Terms of Service require you to explain how you use our tracking software with visitors.
Text scrambling, enabled by the company, keeps sensitive data from being accidentally sent to our servers. Companies will still be able to understand how visitors use their websites without capturing any potentially sensitive information.
If your HTML contains sensitive data, such as a page that says, "Hi, Joe Smith! Your social security number is 555-55-5555," enable text scrambling to maintain a high level of privacy without adding anything to your website.
Users can opt out – globally – from sites using Lucky Orange. This can done via our privacy page or added to your website directly.
Lucky Orange offers a feature called "Extreme Privacy Mode" that ensures compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Websites directed at children under the age of 13.
Recently, this discussion grew even louder. Princeton University's Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) released commentary based on research questioning whether companies collecting personal information via third-party session replay scripts were doing so maliciously at the risk of their customers' privacy.
Lucky Orange will continue to pave the way to safer data collection that will keep this information protected while equipping companies with the tools they need to improve their customers' experience, increase conversion, improve customer relationships, and validate design changes.
More than 85,000 websites depend on Lucky Orange to provide in-depth website and conversion insight, and millions of their customers trust that their data will be safe.

There are some songs that just stick with me – this is one of them. I haven't worked out exactly why I love this one so much, but I do know that I'm genuinely surprised I've never tried this cool 1971 hit prior to yesterday.
This one's definitely staying in my repertoire.

Dollar goes in red after US labour market data (Daily analysis 8.02.2021)
8 Feb 2021 9:54|Bartosz Sawicki
Worse than expected data from a key area of the U.S. economy put an end to the dollar's strength which had continued for most of the previous week. The sentiment on risky currencies and asset markets remains good as it raises the prospects for a quick fiscal rescue for the economy.
The EUR/USD pair should try to find a short-term balance around 1.20 mark. The pound sterling remains firm on the global markets, and its strength against the euro is derived from a more efficient vaccination process, and for now, investors should not turn away from the British currency.
Vaccinations once again in the limelight
This week, after the disappointment from the US labour market data (more in the next part of this analysis), the focus will be on the future of the fiscal package prepared by Joe Biden's administration - the need to support the economy will be even more stressed. We did not have to wait long for such comments - they were made by Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury, over the weekend. As a result, the sentiment on equity markets remains positive. Another significant trend is a further increase in U.S. debt yields. One should keep an eye on how it will affect the dollar - so far, it has not supported the U.S. currency, which has declined against the main currencies by over 0.5% since Friday morning.
As usual, reports from the vaccination front will be important. The markets will monitor the course of the program in individual countries and the effectiveness of individual vaccines against the new strains of coronavirus. The data on the efficacy of AstraZeneca, which was supposed to have the advantage of lower logistical requirements and, above all, a low price, are alarming. When it comes to macro data readings, the second week of the month is usually not full of key information. This will also be the case this time. It should be noted that the Polish economy will report a GDP decline in the Q4. Based on the already known data for the whole year, it may be estimated that the economy shrank by nearly 3% year-on-year.
The US. dollar's exchange rate becomes a victim of exaggerated expectations
A series of positive surprises in the U.S. data raised the bar for the key readings from the labour market. The increase in the number of payrolls by less than 50k did not meet the market expectations. Moreover, it should be noted that the Labor Department revised the previous two months' readings downward by a total of nearly 160k jobs. In January, employment was nearly 10 million lower than less than a year earlier, just before the pandemic broke out. We should add that the drop in the unemployment rate from 6.7 to 6.3% is the aftermath of a (negative) decline in the labour pool: only 57.5% of working-age citizens are employed.
The data reveal a picture of a labour market which, after a rapid rebound in May, lost steam in late 2020 under the influence of the second wave of the pandemic and coronavirus restrictions. As of February, its condition should start to gradually improve thanks to the easing of restrictions in other economically important areas, including California, which is leading in terms of population, and New York. In addition, the values of leading economic indexes may be encouraging. Also, the vaccination program is running smoothly, with approximately 12 out of every 100 US citizens already vaccinated.
