Reconciling adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development for cities (RAMSES)
Activity Report & presentations
Measuring the environmental performance of cities
The carbon footprint of urban transport – case study: Mumbai
Comparative carbon footprints of European cities
How are European cities adapting to climate change? What methodologies can be used to evaluate the resilience of urban infrastructures to changes in the climate? The Ramses project—a multi-partner European project—sorts through the issues to find and implement strategies for adapting to climate change in the cities of the European Union.
Facilitating urban adaptation to climate change
The extent to which cities and regions are exposed to potentially extreme climate events—storms, droughts, floods, heat-waves—depends on their location. Every city must prepare for a specific combination of possible impacts, of varying degrees of probability, according to its infrastructures, its typology, its geographic location, and its socio-economic context. The ability to adapt to these changes is crucial to the future of each city. But how are they to adapt? And at what cost? What are the criteria for evaluating the measures that need to be taken to make urban infrastructures resilient? To enable European cities to better anticipate the consequences of these various impacts, Ramses asks policy-makers and local actors about the challenges they face, and adapts its research to the identified needs.
"The goal of the Ramses project—funded by the FP7 program—is to develop new methods to help cities quantify the impacts of climate change and evaluate the resilience of their infrastructures."
Ultimately, the aim is to propose a rigorous, pragmatic and standardized analytical framework for the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies in the cities of the European Union. The Veolia Institute took part in this project from 2012 to the end of 2014.

Rick is a leading New Zealand business, information technology and media lawyer (particularly internet business law). He has a first class Masters degree in Internet and copyright law. He is the first lawyer to have obtained the IT Professionals, CITPNZ certification. He combines this with high level corporate, commercial and business expertise derived from close working relationships with business clients for over 25 years, including in governance roles.
Augmenting his core legal practice, Rick has significant governance and business development experience. He is chair of NetSafe, New Zealand's world leading not-for-profit cybersafety and cybercitizenship NGO, which is also the statutory approved agency under New Zealand's "cyber-bullying" legislation, the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015. He is a founding director of Crown company, The Network for Learning Limited and has been an advisory board member of the National Library of NZ's DigitalNZ operation. Rick has also been appointed as an establishment board member to advise the Minister of Communications and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment on the formation and eventual structure of New Zealand's first CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team).
He is a past vice president of InternetNZ where he was part of the working group responsible for the introduction of New Zealand's current shared registry domain name structure. Rick also headed up the team responsible for policy development of New Zealand's domain name dispute resolution service. He was a founding member of the Auckland District Law Society's Technology and Law Committee. Apart from his membership of the above organisations, Rick is also a member of IT Professionals and a fully chartered member of the Institute of Directors.
Richard worked as an active member of InternetNZ over a number of years and, over his lifetime, made a significant contribution to the Internet and to society as a whole. He was one of the leading voices for greater Māori involvement in information and communications technology.
In 2011, Richard was part of a working group, appointed by the Minister of ICT and Minister of Māori Affairs, called Ngā Pā Waea. It was set up to assist in ensuring that Māori communities can be connected in a timely and efficient manner, and are able to maximise opportunities arising from the deployment of broadband.
Also in 2011, Richard volunteered as a member of InternetNZ's inaugural Nethui Advisory board. He guided us in Maori protocol matters and terminology, helped in organising the Mihi Whakatau opening ceremony and Poroporoaki closing ceremony and worked to engage a substantial Maori community to attend. Richard helped us to make the annual NetHui gathering such a successful and well attended event both in that year and the years that followed.
In 2013, Richard was involved with a series of successful events that we held with Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the world wide web.
Richard was also well known in many other industries and served on two District Health Boards, was a member of the New Zealand Māori Council and had previously been chair of his iwi, Te Rūnanga o Raukawa.
Richard passed away in 2015 and was awarded a fellowship posthumously.
Don has been involved with the Internet in New Zealand since it first appeared. He worked at Victoria University, where he helped set up the network infrastructure for the national Universities network, which in those days was essentially the core of the New Zealand Internet. He was also involved in managing aspects of the .nz domain, until that responsibility was devolved onto Domainz.
He was involved in the establishment and operation of Netlink, an ISP spawned off by Victoria University.
Don has contracted directly or indirectly to Domainz, and more recently NZRS, to manage and maintain the .nz name servers in New Zealand – a role he is still in today.
Don was involved with ISOCNZ since its inception, and has maintained the relationship through its morphing into InternetNZ. Don has provided considerable input to InternetNZ on policy and technical matters, most notably through his membership of the Hine commission, which gave rise the .nz Shared Registry System.
Most of Don's contributions to the Internet and to InternetNZ have been in "back room" roles, which are not highly visible.
Dean has worked on the front-line of Internet-related technical policy for much of his career and is widely regarded as possessing an unmatched level of excellence in the internetworking field.
With experience gathered through endeavours such as positioning New Zealand government departments among the first organisations to peer over local Internet exchanges, Dean has a long history of being an influential member of the New Zealand Internet community.
After holding senior network engineering positions at a number of multi-national organisations, Dean returned to New Zealand to share experiences gained from his familiarity and understanding of some of the world's largest networks. Dean continues to provide knowledge and leadership to the New Zealand Internet community through board and trustee positions with the New Zealand Network Operators Group, the New Zealand Internet Task Force, the New Zealand IPv6 Task Force, and the Wellington Loop. This community involvement is complimented by his role as a senior ICT consultant who specialises in assisting organisations make strategic decisions on the adoption of emerging network technologies.
On a global scale, Dean has represented New Zealand's interests at APAC TEL and APNIC meetings and strives to ensure that New Zealand's views are represented in global Internet policy forums.
Donna was highly involved with InternetNZ, in both management and governance roles. A driving force for many years within the organisation's subsidiary company NZRS, she played a pivotal role in implementing New Zealand's Shared Registry System and has been a steady hand and a party to bringing stability and sensibility to the overall operation of .nz. Donna passed away in 2014.
Keith has a long period of distinguished service to the Internet, not only in New Zealand but also in the Pacific. For many years he has been deeply involved in international bodies the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Asia Pacific Top level Domain Organisation (APTLD) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
Keith was elected to the Council of InternetNZ in 1998, became President in 2001 and then Executive Director in 2005. As Executive Director, Keith organised the highly-successful ICANN Wellington meeting in 2006. He tirelessly pushes a sane, Internet-based agenda and is totally unafraid of standing up to vested interests.
David has a long history of distinguished service to InternetNZ. He was elected to the Council in 1998, and served as Vice President from 2003 to 2007. He was one of the principal architects of the current governance framework for .nz and was particularly successful in negotiating the sale of Domainz to Melbourne IT in 2003. He served for many successful years on the NZRS board and presently serves on the DNCL board.
David has been crucial in much of the policy and advocacy work of InternetNZ and is Chair of the Policy Advisory Group. His seemingly boundless energy is used to lobby consistently for the Internet in New Zealand. In addition he is arguably New Zealand's most widely read and quoted political blogger.
Simon has made an enormous contribution across a wide range of fields over many years. He has a long history of IT and Internet activism, especially in Wellington. He was one of the primary movers behind Fran Wilde's InfoCity strategy for Wellington. He was one of the people behind the creation of CityLink and establishment of the E-Vision Centre in Wellington. He influenced the commissioning of the Zwimpfer Report that lead to the formation of New Zealand's Advanced Research and Education Network (REANNZ) and was a founder of the 2020 Communications Trust. At present, he is a major motivating force within the New Zealand IPv6 Task Force.
Simon was a very active member of the InternetNZ Council from 2001 to 2007 and was responsible for many other initiatives that have come out of InternetNZ, including the Cyberlaw Fellowship in partnership with Victoria University of Wellington.
Colin Jackson has been involved in the Internet in New Zealand since 1990. He was the government's first advisor on the Internet and worked to build the first New Zealand government web site. He is a founder of InternetNZ and a former president of InternetNZ.
Colin is a technology consultant and commentator. He frequently contributes to the media and is often called upon to explain technology issues for a general or business audience. Originally a developer, Colin has worked in the private, not-for-profit and government sectors. His work now mostly involves the strategic use of ICT.
Laurence Zwimpfer runs a consulting company in Wellington, New Zealand, specialising in the use of information and communication technologies in education.
Since 1997 he has provided consulting and project management services for the Ministry of Education and other government and private sector organisations. Prior to that he worked for Telecom New Zealand in a business development role.
He is a Harkness Fellow with degrees in Engineering from Canterbury University, Public Policy from Victoria University of Wellington, and Technology and Policy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA.
In 2006, the Institution of Professional Engineers in New Zealand (IPENZ) awarded him the Rabone Award for ICT, a Supreme Technical Award for Engineering Achievers and the William Pickering Award for Engineering Leadership.
Peter Dengate Thrush has a long and distinguished record of contribution to Internet policy issues both nationally, in particular to InternetNZ, and internationally.
He provided advice to the Council of InternetNZ from 1995 on management of .nz and represented InternetNZ on the landmark Oggi court case which validated the first-come-first-served policy.
Peter was President of InternetNZ from 1999 to 2001. His international contributions date from involvement with consultations by the US Government from 1997 which lead to the formation of ICANN. He was Chair of APTLD from 2004 until 2006 when he was elected by the ccNSO constituency to the ICANN Board. He succeeded Vint Cerf as Chair of the ICANN Board in December 2007.

This animated resource is used by New Zealand schools and several overseas government partners. Previously, Liz managed NetSafe, (from inception in 1998 to 2006) as it built a reputation for innovative online safety and security education.
Liz initiated national and international cybersafety conferences (including one in 2005 at the University of Oxford). She has also written two book chapters and many articles for NZ and overseas journals, and presented at Pacific, North American and European conferences. In 2003, Liz was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her work in the field of Internet safety, and was awarded the NetGuide 'Living Legend' Web Award for her contribution to the Internet industry. She also served on the Council of InternetNZ for two terms.
Joe runs a small consulting company, providing network operations and architecture support for various Internet companies. He was once Network Architect at CLEAR Communications and has worked as a consultant for various other Internet companies in Auckland and Wellington; he was also one of the founders of the Auckland Peering Exchange, and one of those responsible for GEEK.NZ.
Mark has been involved in the development of the Internet in New Zealand since the first dial-up connections between VUW and the University of Calgary in 1986. Three years later he, Andy Linton and Jonathan Stone established the initial fixed internet links from VUW and Massey University to the CSnet international gateway at the University of Waikato (using a modified SLIP over DSIR circuits).
Mark has been a councillor of the Internet Society of New Zealand (1997-98) and served on several technical committees. In the early days he worked tirelessly to promote the Internet at many NZUUG and UniForum conferences. He continues to provide technical assistance to those that ask for his help. Mark has maintained a list of New Zealand organisations that are connected to the Internet since the end of 1993 (when there were 242).
Roger was elected in May 1995 to chair the interim Council that established the Internet Society of New Zealand. He was instrumental in establishing the principles that still guide the Society nearly a decade later. In six months he guided a concept into an incorporated society which asserted responsibility for the well being of the Internet in New Zealand and for promoting New Zealand's interest in the international Internet community. The first six months saw the concept of an ISP Code of Practice introduced and legal work around the DNS begin. Roger followed on as the first Chair of the Incorporated Society through the end of 1996 and he guided ISCONZ through the first traumas of "domain name capture".
Jim was elected in May 1995 to the interim Council that established the Internet Society of New Zealand. He was then elected as the second Chair of the Society serving from 1997 to 1999. This was a period of dynamic growth in the Internet. Jim was faced with trying to develop the management of the NZ domain name space at a time when registrations were growing rapidly. There were inevitable problems that arose from the unpredictable external pressures the Internet growth generated. Jim's tremendous drive and energy saw the Society through this difficult period.
Jim vigorously represented NZ internationally at a time of significant restructuring of Internet governance. He established strong relationships with ISOC. His high profile in the IT world developed through his many public activities helped the Society to raise its profile both domestically and internationally.
Andy has over 25 years experience in Internet networking. His initial experience was as a researcher and programmer in the university sector at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and Victoria University of Wellington and then with a number of Internet Service Providers such as AARNet, connect.com.au, Telecom NZ, Netlink, Telstra and CityLink.
He has been on the board of the Public Interest Registry which manages the .org domain, the council of InternetNZ and is on the board of New Zealand's Domain Name Commission which manages the .nz name space. Andy is also a trustee of the NZ Network Operators' Group Trust and is a member of the program committee for the APRICOT 2011 conference.
Andy resigned his fellowship of InternetNZ in 2016, wishing to draw a line under his involvement in all forms of Internet governance.
Nevil Brownlee is well known in New Zealand having guided Auckland University's networking endeavours for nearly twenty years. Nevil was a key contributor to Kawaihiko, the early university network, and Tuia, the consortium that brought together the interests of both the university sector and the CRIs.
Nevil and his staff at the University of Auckland provided the majority of management support for Kawaihiko, minuting meetings, managing its funds and producing periodic reports on traffic.
Nevil made his international reputation in the area of network measurement. Nevil developed NeTraMet - a realtime traffic flow measurement architecuture - for Auckland University in the early 1990s. The current version of NeTraMet is used by 200 organisations around the world.
John Vorstermans is widely known throughout the New Zealand Internet community. He has combined technical competence as demonstrated through participation in the NOG with a social conscience and deep belief in the ability of the Internet to improve lives.
John co-founded Actrix - New Zealand's first commercial ISP - which originally operated out of a spare room in John's house. He has been a consistent and ardent supporter of the concept of the Internet as an open network for the entire community. Under John's guidance Actrix has provided a high level of support to Wellington community groups.
John was also instrumental in the formation of The Internet Society of New Zealand, serving on Council from its inception until 2000. He participated in writing the ISP Code of Practice and served as an inaugural member of the board of NZIRL.
The father of the DNS in New Zealand, he 'put it to bed' every night for many a year. Rex, with the assistance of other Network Operators, demonstrated that an industrial class service could be run with dedication rather than large dollars.
Sometimes described as the "DNS saint" Rex negotiated policy that angels feared to touch without a ruffled feather. Rex also provided much of the support for the NZGate billing system that was a key to sharing the cost of New Zealand's overseas link.
Frank was a member of the group that founded ISOCNZ (InternetNZ) and served on the Council for a number of years, including several as Secretary. He has been involved in the development of the Internet in New Zealand since its beginnings.
As Director of Information Technology at Victoria University of Wellington he was involved in the Tuia Society and Kawaihiko (the early university network). He encouraged early Internet take-up among government agencies and businesses in Wellington.
Frank is a senior specialist advisor in the IT and Telecommunications Policy Group of the Ministry of Economic Development and has a continuing interest in public policy issues with regard to the Internet.
Donald was the first Secretary of the Society and was responsible for drafting many of its rules. To this day he often drops into a discussion with a "point of order".
His contribution to the Society was not all. As a member of the system development group at Waikato University he was instrumental in the provision of the archie.nz service for years, the development of a distributed web caching strategy, and was a strong supporter of NZNOG (the New Zealand Network Operators' Group). He made further contributions to SunSite and to UniForumNZ.
Not unlike Jon Postel in appearance and demeanor (but without the ponytail), Neil carried an important mantel in the earliest days of organising the NZ Internet Community.
First, there was the TUIA Society. TUIA was composed of the Universities, the then DSIR, and MAF, and was responsible for developing the collaboration necessary to develop the NZ Internet at the turn of the decade (1989/1990).
Neil chaired TUIA for many years, winding his way through politically troubled waters. He was then instrumental in forming ISOCNZ and spent a few years on Council.
John's principal legacy from the Internet's early days in New Zealand was that he provided the key early linkages between TUIA, the consortium set up to manage the New Zealand Internet backbone, and the US-based Internet services while these were provided by the US Government.
He negotiated an arrangement with PACCOM for 50% subsidy for NSA money for a 19.2K link from New Zealand to Hawaii, in 1989. After the link (initially 9.6K) was installed, he provided the main driving force at Waikato University for the services required for the New Zealand Internet gateway.
He also played a key role in ensuring that NZGate could meet the needs of other users, such as the DSIR, who used non-IP protocols in the early days. When, from 1995 onwards, Internet connection services passed to the main telecommunications providers, he negotiated the NZgate connections ensuring a smooth transition.
He acted as the go-between for many of the early users of the Internet for IP address space, first with IANA and later APNIC, and held the official delegation for the .nz ccTLD from 1989 until this was passed to InternetNZ (then ISOCNZ) in 1996.
Richard has promoted a vision of a networked city networked world. He has taken every opportunity that provided itself as a means of extending people's access to networking and the Internet.
As IT services manager for the Wellington City Council, Richard ensured that he linked the Council to the Internet through Victoria University as early as 1989, first for the Usenet News services but later to provide information about Wellington to its own citizens and the world.
This is now recognised internationally as being the first governmental information in the world to be made available on the Internet. Because of his work, Wellington had the world's first local government Gopher server and the first Web site. Wellington also provided one of the world's first free nets, providing citizens with access to Internet services at the cost of a local phone call.
John's farsighted policy of extending access to Internet services enabled the New Zealand research community to take rapid advantage of the Waikato University PACCOM link when that became available, ensuring its financial success from the outset.
John used his connections with North American universities to introduce the Usenet News service to New Zealand from 1985 onwards, initially on behalf of the Computer Science community, but quickly extending this to anyone needing access to the service.
The Computer Science Department at Victoria University, of which John was head and Professor, ran what amounted to a semi-commercial News service over international PACNET and for several years provided an invaluable service to the New Zealand research community. This service, along with international email services, built the foundation for today's Internet.
From the early 1980s, he played a leading role in establishing the initial inter-university network which, after 1988, evolved into the backbone of the New Zealand Internet until it was replaced by commercially available services from early 1996.

Litigation cases
Notre Affaire à Tous and Others v. France
Litigation cases (12)
Loss and Damage
immediate action
Jurisdiction: Administrative Court of Paris
Principle law(s): 2020 Climate and Energy Package (contains Directive 2009/29/EC, Directive 2009/28/EC, Directive 2009/31/EC and Decision No. 406/2009/EC of the Parliament and the Council ; see below)
Side A: Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme (Ngo)
Side A: Greenpeace France (Ngo)
Side A: Notre Affaire à Tous (Ngo)
Side A: Oxfam France (Ngo)
Side B: France (Government)
Core objectives:
Whether the French government's failure to take further action on climate change violates a statutory duty to act under domestic and international law
On December 17, 2018, four nonprofits sent a "lettre préalable indemnitaire" (letter of formal notice) to Prime Minister Edouard Philippe and 12 members of the French government, initiating the first stage in a legal proceeding against the French government for inadequate action on climate change. This type of letter is part of a legal proceeding known as "recours en carence fautive" (action for failure to act). The plaintiffs allege that the French government's failure to implement proper measures to effectively address climate change violated a statutory duty to act. The four plaintiff groups are Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme (FNH), Greenpeace France, Notre Affaire à Tous and Oxfam France. In their press release, they describe the lawsuit as challenging the state's inaction on climate change and failure to meet its own goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy, and limiting energy consumption.
On February 15, 2019, the French government rejected the plaintiffs' request. On March 14, 2019, the plaintiffs initiated the lawsuit by filing a "summary request" before the Administrative Court of Paris. The plaintiffs request that the State of France be enjoined to remedy its inadequate action on climate change. Specifically, they request the court to order France to:
1. Take proper measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere - in due proportion considering global emissions, and taking into account the particular responsibility accepted by developed countries - at a level compatible with the objective to contain the rise of the average temperature of the planet below the threshold of 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial levels;
2. Take, at least, all necessary measures to achieve France's targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing renewable energies and increasing energy efficiency;
3. Take the necessary measures to adapt the national territory to the effects of climate change;
4. Take the necessary measures to protect citizens' lives and health from the risks of climate change.
They further request compensation for the damages suffered as a result of the State's failure to tackle climate change to be paid as "the symbolic sum of 1 euro for their moral prejudice."
According to a translation of the legal request, plaintiffs argue that the government has both general and specific legal duties to act on climate change. Its general duties stem from 1) the French Charter for the Environment ("the Charter"), the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECPHR), and 3) the general principle of law providing the right of every person to live in a preserved climate system. Under the Charter, plaintiffs point to citizens' constitutional rights to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment and argue the government has a duty of care to "take all necessary measures to identify, avoid, reduce and compensate the consequences of climate change." Like other recent international cases, they point to further obligations of the state to act on climate change to uphold the rights guaranteed under Articles 2 & 8 of the ECPHR, respectively "the right to life" and the "right to respect for private and family life." They argue that these rights require States "to implement a legislative and regulatory framework and to adopt practical measures meant to fight efficiently against climate change."
Plaintiffs further base their claims on a "general principle of law" providing a right to a "preserved climate system" which they argue stems from national law (such as the preamble of the Charter for the Environment, article L. 110-1 of the French Environment Code, etc.) and international law (the Stockholm Declaration, the World Charter for Nature, the Rio Declaration, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto protocol, the Paris Agreement, the Climate action and renewable energy package for 2020, the Decision n°406/2009/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 23 April 2009). Plaintiffs additionally argue the State has further "specific" obligations to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions under EU and national law as well as specific obligations to take action to prepare for the impacts of climate change on France.
On June 26th, 2020, the ministry for the ecological transition asked the administrative court's judge to dismiss the request. According to the plaintiffs, the government asserted that it was taking action to address greenhouse gas emissions, and that the time has not elapsed for it to meet its 2020 goals.

There are three compelling reasons why your tax rates may very well be higher for you in the future, and if that is the case, you'll want to consider a Roth IRA conversion to lower your tax hit. When you convert money in your IRA or 401(k), which has never been taxed, to a Roth IRA or a Roth 401(k), you'll pay income taxes at your current rate on the conversion amount, but once the money is in a Roth it grows tax-free and can be withdrawn tax free.
I'll first address the reasons why you could be in a higher tax bracket in retirement. I'll then look at how to estimate how much to consider converting from your IRA/401(k) to a Roth IRA/401(k), as well as some common mistakes to avoid.
However, these lower rates aren't set in stone. Unless Congress acts, these rate cuts are set to expire at the end of 2025, and in 2026 the rates will bump back up to those we had in 2017. So, you can make a political guess here. If you think Democrats, who were largely against the tax cuts in the first place, will be in charge when the votes are cast in 2025, it is likely these tax rates could increase. This line of thinking would suggest that we have an eight-year window to take advantage of the lower brackets and to convert your IRA money to a more tax-advantaged Roth IRA.
If you hit age 70½ and your IRA is very large, the required distribution could push you into a much higher tax bracket than what you had been in during the early years of retirement leading up to age 70½. For example, let's assume you are retired and age 65. Let's also assume that you live on Social Security, a pension, and you are taking withdrawals from your after-tax brokerage account while your IRA continues to grow untapped. Since the money in your after-tax brokerage account has already been taxed and isn't treated as income when withdrawn, you may be in one of the lower tax brackets.
If you haven't taken withdrawals before age 70½ your IRA may be very large. The required distribution amount is based on your IRA balance and your age. For example, at age 70½ your RMD will be just under 4% of the value of your IRA(s). You don't have to spend the withdrawal, but you do have to move it out to another account … and you do have to pay income taxes (federal and state) on it in the process. This distribution, when added to your other sources of income, could put you in a higher tax bracket. What's worse: Your IRA distribution could even cause more of your Social Security income to be taxed.
With some planning and foresight, you could reduce your IRA balance through annual Roth IRA conversions so that at age 70½ and beyond your IRA is not so large and the taxes aren't so hefty. Often a good strategy is to convert a little IRA money to a Roth each year after retirement and continue doing so until age 70½.
At the death of the first spouse, the surviving spouse will often roll the IRA money from the deceased spouse's IRA into their own IRA. However, if they are over age 70½, IRA distributions are still required, and are now taxed in a single bracket instead of joint. That could increase the tax rate significantly. Once again, with some planning it would be wise to reduce the IRA through Roth conversions throughout retirement to reduce the IRA balance and ultimately the tax burden when the bracket changes.
Remember, it is not an all or none decision. If you are in a lower tax bracket now than you'll be when you plan to take IRA withdrawals during retirement, then it makes sense to convert some money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) to a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k). Often the best strategy is to convert some of your IRA each year. This is almost a given if you are in one of the lower two tax brackets. Here are the steps to take to determine how much to convert.
For example, let's say that you file jointly and your taxable income is $50,000. That puts you in the 12% tax bracket. The income level at the top of the 12% bracket is $77,400. So you have $27,400 to go before you inch into the 22% bracket ($77,400-$50,000). This means you could convert $27,400 from your IRA to your Roth IRA without jumping into the next tax bracket. The amount you convert, $27,400, would be taxed at 12%.
Mistake No. 1. Don't convert if you have to take money out of your IRA to pay the federal and state income taxes on the conversion. Rather, make sure you have enough cash in another source (i.e., use money in a bank account or and already taxed brokerage account).
Mistake No. 2. Don't convert if you don't have enough time to leave money growing tax-free in the Roth IRA to make back the amount you paid in taxes in the year of conversion. Of course, this depends primarily on how fast the money is growing. If you have about 10 years before you plan on spending the money you are most likely safe.
Mistake No. 3. Don't convert too much at a time. You don't want to end up jumping into a much higher tax bracket.


The University of Michigan has released the final results of its Victors for Michigan campaign, which closed Dec. 31, 2018, with more than 398,000 donors giving 2.4 million gifts over seven and a half years, totaling $5.28 billion.
In October 2018, the university became the first public university to raise more than $5 billion in the most successful fundraising campaign in its history.
• $1.22 billion for student support, enabling U-M to expand opportunities and enrich the educational experience for all students, regardless of background.
• $1.71 billion for innovative programs in areas such as engaged learning, patient care, music, arts, libraries and more.
• $1.47 billion for distinguished faculty and research across all 19 schools and colleges, UM-Dearborn and UM-Flint.
• $676 million for world-class facilities, including research laboratories, student housing, classrooms, music and arts venues, athletics and recreation.
• 94 percent gave less than $5,000.
• Almost half made their very first gift to Michigan in this campaign.
• 55 percent did not attend U-M.
• 11,948 students gave nearly $2.49 million.
• 22,740 faculty, staff and retirees gave more than $201 million.
• A network of 1,655 volunteer donors around the world helped expand the cause.
The funds raised span all of Ann Arbor's 19 schools and colleges, UM-Dearborn and UM-Flint.
"I am grateful for the leadership of my predecessor, Jerry May, the vision and support of presidents Mary Sue Coleman and Mark Schlissel, the deans, directors and regents who championed this campaign along the way, and the dedication of the U-M development team," said Tom Baird, vice president for development.

Dustin Wong is an American guitarist formerly active in the art-rock band Ponytail and a former member of the experimental guitar duo, Ecstatic Sunshine (along with Matthew Papich).

Biography
Wong's style is characterized by influences of surf rock and John Fahey. Wong was born in Hawaii and grew up in Japan, though he is half Chinese. Together with Matt Papich he formed the duo Ecstatic Sunshine and released two albums. Wong left Ecstatic Sunshine in 2007 to fully focus on Ponytail and solo projects. Wong's first solo record in 2009 on Wildfire Wildfire was entitled Seasons. Wong published a second solo-album Infinite Love in October 2010. A 40-minute piece cut into 15 tracks and then re-done on a 2nd CD. This instrumental release appeared on Thrill Jockey. After releasing the record he went on tour in Europe. Although Dustin Wong had announced that Whartscape 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland would be the last Ponytail show, a new album was announced. The band released their third full-length album, titled Do Whatever You Want All The Time, in April 2011. However Ponytail broke up on September 22. 2011. Wong moved to New York and continued as a solo artist and published his third record in February 2012. Dustin contributed to Flamingods' debut album Sun, providing guitar backing for the album's lead single 'Quesso'. He relocated to Tokyo in 2012, and began collaborating with Takako Minekawa. They have recorded the albums Toropical Circle (2013), Savage Imagination (2014), and Are Euphoria (2017). Wong co-wrote and plays guitar on "Bumble Bee Crown King," the final track on Dan Deacon's 2020 album Mystic Familiar.

Technical Setup
During Wong's live performances, he creates intricate pieces based on cyclical guitar loops.  His live setup is built around a loop pedal, combined with octave and distortion pedals to change the textures and colors of the guitar, plus a delay pedal to determine the tempo and pattern.  He manipulates the pedal controls while performing.

In Jan 2014, he described his guitar rig as a Japanese-made Fender Telecaster from the '80s fed through a pedal chain that includes: a Boss TU-2 tuner, followed by a Foxrox Octron, Boss DS-1 Distortion modified to have a wider frequency range, ISP Decimator noise gate, a Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, followed by a Boss RC-2 Loop Station, then a Digitech Synth Wah, and another DD-3.  The output goes through a DI box directly into the P.A.  He also uses a 1980s-era Kawai R-50e drum machine run into the looping pedal.

Q: What is the dimension for this subspace? For V (x,y,z)
$S$ is a subspace of $V$ satisfying following condition.

*

*$x+y+z=0$

*$x+y+z=0$ and $x-y-z=0$
I dont know about 1
but For number 2, isn't $x$,$y$ and $z$ $0$? then dimension of number 2 should be 0, I think

A: Hint: can u see {$(1,0,-1),(0,1,-1)$} and {$(0,-1,1)$} forms a basis for $1$ and $2$ respectively?

A: One way to do this is to construct the matrix equation corresponding to the subspace. This approach allows you to answer seemingly more complicated, but mathematically identical, problems of this nature. Each problem is equivalent to computing the subspace of solutions to $Ax = 0$ for some matrix $A$, and by the rank-nullity theorem we know that the solution space will have dimension $3 - \mathrm{rank}(A)$. For problem 1, this is equivalent to solving the homogeneous system
\begin{align*}
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}
and for problem 2 this is equivalent to solving
\begin{align*}
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & -1\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}
Now compute the ranks of the relevant matrices via Gaussian elimination.

A: For (1) you can assign values of $x$ and $y$ freely, and a solution value of $z$ is determined $z=-y-x$.  Thus solutions correspond exactly to points in the $xy$-plane, and so the solution, like the $xy$-plane, is $2$-dimensional.
For (2) you can only assign one variable ($y$ or $z$; $x$ must equal $0$) freely.

It represents one of the key elements of the smartphone since it is the screen that allows us to interact with the device and shows its potential. There are different types of displays; the smartphones equipped with TFT LCD display technology are more economical models, with basic quality and faded colors with little vitality. The IPS (In-Panel-Switching) displays, used for iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and Sony Xperia XZ2; use more advanced technology than the TFT and give better visual quality. Thanks to the backlighting of the individual pixels, the colors look more alive. In Amoled displays (consisting of an active matrix of OLED pixels) the pixels emit their own light without using backlighting and making it ideal for larger, higher definition displays. This display is widely used on medium and high priced devices, like Apple iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S10. They present excellent quality but compared to the IPS Display they are less accessible under direct sunlight.
The processors installed on modern smartphones are all multi-core, equipped with highly advanced microelectronics technologies. Several operational cores enclosed within a single chip allow fast and immediate operations to be performed even simultaneously. Power and performance are based on the working frequency (or clock rate), on the number of cores and in some cases on the number of bits. It is possible to find models with 32 or 64 bit architecture. Clock rates can be thought as how many operations your processor can perform per second, the core count is how many such processor cores are there in your phone. If all this sounds confusing, a tip to recognize a good processor is by looking at the numbers in it, like SD (snapdragon) 430, 625, 845. The higher the number the better the processor.
There are fundamentally three operating systems for smartphones used in the models currently on the market. Android, the most popular, offers almost total interaction by connecting to your Google account and has an integrated market (PlayStore) that allows you to install many applications, free and commercial. Android offers complete customizability to take advantage of the device at 360°. iOS is Apple's operating system, installed on iPhones. It is simple to use, less customizable than Android and has an integrated market (App Store) full of quality apps. Also, IOS has the best track record in case of software updates. Windows Phone is the operating system from Microsoft, characterized by an intuitive menu and by the presence of an integrated store to download apps, of lower quantity than Android and iOS.
All smartphones are equipped with at least two cameras. The front one, capable of taking selfies and the back one, for daily shots of landscapes and everyday scenes. On the market there are smartphones with dual rear cameras, or even triple or quadruple, capable of taking better and higher quality photos. The factor that determines the best smartphone camera is not tied to the number of megapixels but to the quality of the optics and the focal length of the device. A camera with a low focal ratio (e.g. f / 1.6) will be able to collect more light and take better pictures in low light conditions. Even the presence of a camera with optical stabilization is the element to consider when choosing a smartphone with the best camera, especially if you take lots of videos.
Another thing to consider is the price range but of course, it depends on the limits of the buyer. Hope these informations helped you to distinguish the features and understand them if you had limited knowledge for it !

Maybe Nick Young's skill set would be better used in an AND-1 street-ball game and not the NBA.
Sunday night marked the return of the Black Mamba, as Kobe Bryant played in his first game for the Lakers since tearing his Achilles in April, but the Lakers came up short against the Raptors. Young was trying to help his team come back from a seven-point deficit in the fourth quarter when he absolutely bricked an attempt at a flashy 360-degree layup.
Young received the ball low in the right corner and attacked along the baseline, before launching into a 360-degree spin move around Jonas Valanciunas toward the far side of the hoop. Young threw a one-handed scoop shot toward the hoop, but the ball ended up flying high above and bouncing off the backboard — much to the amusement of the Lakers' broadcast team.
Young finished the game with a team-high 19 points, three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes played.
Check out Young's failed 360 attempt in the video below.

Casey Prather remains out due to injury
Phillip Heilman
January 13, 2014 Basketball, Billy Donovan.
Casey Prather has been ruled out for No. 7 Florida's home game against Georgia on Tuesday night, coach Billy Donovan announced Monday.
Prather, who is the team's leading scorer at 17 points per game, suffered a bone bruise in his right knee at some point last week and has continued to deal with swelling in the area. The injury also caused him to miss Florida's 84-82 overtime victory against Arkansas on Saturday.
"He still has issues," Donovan said. "He's getting better. He's progressing. When he'll be available to play, I don't know. But he's out tomorrow."
DeVon Walker started in place of Prather on Saturday and will likely continue to see an increase in minutes for as long as the 6-foot-6 senior forward is out.
Casey Prather ruled out, other Florida Gators also injured
Matt Jones out for all of spring, full Florida Gators injury report


Our final camp in our study of manoomin was a transitional time. Most of the original students and mentors had moved on allowing new students to join gidakiimanaaniwigamig teachers and staff. Throughout the week students participated in hands on learning, group work skills, individual skills and writing. We travelled to UMD where we took a guided nature walk through the Bagley nature Center as well as climbed the large indoor rock wall.
The highlight of the week was when we travelled to GLIFWC/Odanah and then the Madeline Island. We were reminded of our connection to and the importance of Madeline Island.
"According to the teachings of the Anishinaabe people it was the sacred Megis Shell that first guided the people to the rich regions of the Great Lakes. The Megis Shell was last seen near Madeline Island, which was one of the settling points for the tribal people migrating from the eastern shores of the continent.
Students were reminded of their history and encouraged to journal not only their new knowledge but discuss their concerns and ideas related to topics presented such as sulfide mining, the Sandy Lake Tragedy, treaty rights and education.
They worked in multi-age small groups on building (and flying!) rockets. They designed Ojibwe symmetrical glyphs for the journal covers and wrote in their journals through out the week. teachers/college mentors read each students journals and wrote back.
Considerable time was spent studying the water quality found in the St. Louis River at Jay Cooke State Park. "RiverWatch" water study activities taught students how to accurately collect water samples, look for bugs and identify them – specific bugs signify the health of the water. Students drew the bugs to better understand them.
A geology study of the rocks found along the St. Louis also provided students with a better understanding of our land. Keys were used to determine the rocks found. Students again were able to work individually as well as in small groups.
We visited Duluth's Barnes & Nobles where students each chose a book to be purchased for them to read during our many "road trips" and before "lightsout"/bedtime.
The culmination of the week were groups presentations on the weeks activities given to family. Each student prepared statements based on their writing and participation. The program was excellent!
We had a wonderful time getting to know each other better as well as make new friends from across the area. We look forward to seeing each other again in September!
Students visited Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC- Odanah, WI) to learn more about Ojibwe language and culture, current tribal management of the water and land uses and reacquaint and reestablish ourselves as needed concerning our treaty rights as Indian people to hunt and gather.
It was a week of connecting what we know about the areas in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan where Ojibwe people have lived for generations. We added to our knowledge by traveling southeast to the Bad River Reservation in Odanah, WI and as far north as the Bois Forte Reservation in northern Minnesota. Between the bus rides students studied the geology of the land, collected water samples for testing, swam in lakes, read books, wrote reflections/took notes and enjoyed each other as family and friends.
At the Bois Forte Museum students walked through displays describing the history of the Ojibwe people traveling east to the place where the wild rice grew. Government boarding schools and traditional life clashed bringing with it continued years of struggle for generations to follow. Loss of language and culture, family groups broken and a lack of understanding between peoples concerning land and water use contributed to our current state and the established reservation system of government. Elders spoke about what we have been through and encouraged the young people to become knowledgeable to carry on.
"Indians lives in family groups and villages. We were not identified by a particular place and never imagined that land could belong to individuals. When the settlers arrived the government gave us names according to where our villages happened to be. They put us on reservations, forbade out traditions and ignored our reverence for the land.

Q: AutoMapper postfix not recognized I'm using AutoMapper v9, and wish to have a postfix on my DTO property names of Dto.
In my profile I add:
RecognizeDestinationPostfixes("Dto");

I validate my mapping with config.AssertConfigurationIsValid(); and immediately it throws with
Unmapped properties:
AccountConnectionIdDto
CreatedDateDto
ModifiedDateDto
IdentityIdDto
AccountIdDto

This is what my DTO looks like:
public class AccountConnectionDto
{
    public int AccountConnectionIdDto { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedDateDto { get; set; }
    public DateTime ModifiedDateDto { get; set; }
    public Guid IdentityIdDto { get; set; }
    public int AccountIdDto { get; set; }
    public AccountDto AccountDto { get; set; }
}

Removing the Dto from my model names, and it all works. I feel like the postifx isn't being recognized or utilized at all, am I doing it the correct way?

I've been craving hoppy, bitter beers lately so I came up with this recipe on a whim. Not much malt flavor, just brown color.
I decided to combine the Challenger and N. Brewer @15min to try and get some spicy mint, woodsy flavors out. First time trying Bravo as an aroma addition as well. Heard it plays well with others and can add a complex pear, juicy aroma.
Haven't brewed it yet. Hopefully I can get to it by Monday but we'll see.
So I'm brewing this monday and I think I'm going to swap the base grain from plain old 2-row to Maris Otter. Since there's not much to the malt bill, I think Maris Otter may add a bit more depth to the mouth feel that people expect from a brown.
The MO will give you more flavor also, as well as a bit more depth of character.
I would be tempted to mash a little higher if you are after more mouth feel.... like maybe 154.
If for no other reason, I brew so I can use the term "mouth feel" in a sentence with a straight face.
Just finished this brew day.
I ended up mashing around 151-152F.
I'm pretty glad my efficiency came back up from last brew. Pretty much proves to me that the poor efficiency I got last time was from the old grain.
So I thought I had a few more packets of US-05 to pitch into this wort, but apparently the only dry yeast I have left is T-58. Opinions? The LBHS doesn't open til thursday.
@BenS, how about an update?
