The formation of the European Palm Society and the publication of the first issue of its journal 'Chamaerops' is an exciting event for its three founder members, and the culmination of months of planning and hard work.
As interest in the study and cultivation of palms spreads, there grows alongside it a thirst for knowledge which cannot be satisfied by books alone, and it is hoped that this association and its magazine will help to fill the gap.
Palm enthusiasts throughout the world are served, and ably so, by the United States based International Palm Society, and we in the cooler climate of Europe have additionally enjoyed the benefits of membership of the 'Temperate Zone Chapter of that organization, which dealt more specifically with cool and cold growing palms. However, since its demise, many of us have been feeling at a loss, and missing its quarterly 'PQ' magazine. Thus the idea of the E.P.S. was born.
Over several meetings, the three of us decided to launch the new society and to structure it so that it would appeal not only to the dedicated palm grower but also to those whose interest in exotic plants is wider than this. Those who are keen on Cycads, Yuccas, Agaves, Cordylines, Tree ferns etc., groups of plants the study of which is perhaps even more specific than with palms, should not thereby feel left out.
However, it should not be imagined that the aims of this new society are to cater only for those wishing to grow palms in cool climates. It is, in every sense of the word, a "European" society, and members from all over the continent: North, South, East and West, are welcome. We hope to publish articles of interest to palm lovers everywhere, hot, cold, and in between, from Sweden to Sicily, from the U.K. to the U.S.S.R.
This editorial would not be complete without a large debt of gratitude being paid to Mrs Tamar Myers, of Pennsylvania, U.S.A., for 7 years the editor, producer, publisher and distributor of "The Palm Quarterly" magazine referred to above. Her many fans will be p leased to know that she will be writing a regular column for Chamaerops ', beginning with this issue; she is not gone, and certainly not forgotten!
It was tempting to compare her 'term of office' with that of our ex-Prime Minister, Mrs Margaret Thatcher, especially as they both resigned at about the same time, and both resignations in a way signalled the end of an era. But, as they say, a week is a long time in politics and by the time this is published the analogy will probably be lost.
I think it is true to say that Tamar focussed attention, perhaps for the first time, on temperate-growing palms, as an issue separate from that general interest in palms, so closely associated in most peoples' minds with the tropics, and holidays in the sun. Indeed, the use of the palm tree as a symbol of all things tropical is so common and widespread, that the public at large feel a certain familiarity with the subject, even though they would probably be surprised to learn that there are palms other than coconuts and dates.
Most people are taken aback to learn that there are nearly 3000 palms other than coconuts and dates, and frankly incredulous when told that more than just a handful put up with extreme cold, and will thrive, outside, in the ground, year round, in all but the coldest and least hospitable areas of our continent.
With the help of even modest protection against the worst of the winter weather, this number can certainly be increased, and those keen enough, dedicated enough, or perhaps crazy enough to go to more elaborate lengths have a great number of species from which to choose. If warmth, even of only a few degrees, can be provided, then the plant's hardiness to cold ceases to be an issue; attention then can swing away from which species can stand the most cold, or frost, or snow, and can focus instead on which palms will thrive and grow well in our often less than-tropical summers. The list is long.
However, if the idea of heating your garden fills you with alarm, don't despair! With a little care in terms of choice of species and a little common sense in terms of positioning, there are several excellent and worthwhile palms to grow which need no pampering at all.
With this and subsequent issues however, we hope to cover the entire spectrum. From the Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix) - hardy down to around -20° centigrade, but oh so slow-growing in all but the warmest areas - to the Washington Fan Palm (Washingtonia filifera) which needs 'serious protection' in cold winters but grows like a rocket in the summer, there is a palm for every climate, every taste, every pocket, and every gardener, be he inventive and resourceful, or faint-hearted and fatalistic.
Finally, thank you for joining the European Palm Society - you are most welcome. Your comments and observations are much appreciated, and it is hoped that this magazine will stimulate correspondence and communication from and between its members. Letters, articles and photographs will be gladly received; indeed the E.P.S. and "Chamaerops" cannot function without them.
Now, as they say, read on...

MADRAS WAR CEMETERY AND MADRAS 1914-1918 MEMORIAL
India
Madras War Cemetery is about 5 kilometres from the airport and 14 kilometres from the central railway station.
The GST Road (Great Southern Trunk Road) leads from the airport past Trident Hotel to Kathipara roundabout. The way is via Mount Poonamall Road, passing at the foot of St. Thomas Mount. The cemetery can easily be located on the right hand side of the road 1 kilometre from St. Thomas Mount.
From Madras Central Railway Station the route is up Mount Road (Anna Salai) and over the bridge which crosses the River Cooum. The route passes St. Mary's Cemetery on Pallawan Road and is via LIC building (Life Insurance Corporation Building) situated on Mount Road, which leads to Anna Flyover and to Kathipara Junction.
The cemetery is open every day between 08:00am and 18:00pm.
Outside of these times, access can be gained via the gate which leads to the resident manager's living quarters within the cemetery.
MADRAS WAR CEMETERY was created to receive Second World War graves from many civil and cantonment cemeteries in the south and east of India where their permanent maintenance could not be assured.
The cemetery contains 856 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War.
The MADRAS 1914-1918 MEMORIAL is situated at the rear of the cemetery. It bears the names of more than 1,000 servicemen who died during the First World War who lie in many civil and cantonment cemeteries in various parts of India where it is not possible to maintain their graves in perpetuity

Welcome to the hop! Be sure to check out each of the talented ladies' blogs listed at the bottom of this post … don't miss the giveaway!
At the bottom of this post I share the recipe for the pumpkin roll! For now, let's learn how to glass etch! Glass etching a plate or any glass, is a terrific way to create inexpensive gifts or home decor that is unique and thoughtful. Here are some previous etching projects I've done.
Here's what you need: A glass item. I'm using a plate from Hobby Lobby. I can't find them at the Dollar Store anymore. Sad. Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream, a stencil (I make mine using vinyl and a die cut machine), a foam brush. Need vinyl? I like to buy mine from Expressions Vinyl.
If, like me, you're making a stencil using vinyl you'll need to be sure to reverse cut your image to apply it to the bottom of a plate. You can glass etch the top of a plate but I prefer to have the image etched from underneath.
I've chosen to etch "YUM" on my dessert plate. If I found that at the bottom of my plate after finishing off a dessert, I would think it was super cute. 😉 Again, reverse cut the vinyl and apply it to the bottom of the plate.
Make sure the vinyl is stuck down really well. Use a gift card or a squeegee to burnish it to the plate. Next, add the glass etching cream using the foam brush. Keep it off of your hands! It burns! Try to get an even amount on the area you want to etch. Be careful! Anywhere you get the cream will become permanently etched.
I ignore what the instructions say and let my project sit for 20 minutes for a good etching result. Next, I run the plate under warm to hot water and let it wash the cream away. Once the etching cream is all washed off, peel off the vinyl.
TA DA!! Here's how mine turned out. I love it!
What's a dessert plate without dessert?
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Beat in remaining cake ingredients.
Grease a 10"x15" jelly roll pan . Line pan with waxed paper, then grease and lightly flour the waxed paper.
Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes.
*Cake cooks fast so watch carefully to avoid burning the edges.
While cake is baking, sprinkle powdered sugar heavily over the kitchen towel, using a sieve or sifter.
Turn hot cake onto the towel.
Remove waxed paper. Trim off burnt or crusty edges.
Sprinkle more powdered sugar over the hot cake and quickly roll up with towel inside. Let cake cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare filling by beating together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Unroll cooled cake and spread with the filling mixture. Roll up cake with filling on the inside. Wrap in waxed paper and then foil.
Refrigerate or freeze. To serve, slice cake about 1/3 inch thick and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Note - cake cuts best when still slightly frozen.
How yummy does that pumpkin roll look? It was awesome AND the first one I've ever made! Since I'd never rolled a cake before, I watched this video just to make sure I didn't end up with a mess. It really helped! The only change I made was that I didn't wait 5 minutes before I took it out of the pan.
It was delicious! I was so proud of myself. 🙂 I was really doubting myself at first but it turned out that it wasn't very difficult after all. See, that's why you shouldn't doubt yourself and you should just jump right in! I hope you'll give it a try too!
Using a Cricut? I show you step-by-step how to glass etch AND MORE in my Cricut Vinylology DVD!
Now hop on over to these ladies' blogs and see what they've got in store for you!
Leave a comment for a chance to win a 10-oz jar of Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream so you can make your own awesome glass etching creations! I'll list the winner on this post on November 19, 2013. Woo hoo!
WOW! What a GREAT and creative idea on etching a word on glass to make something "blah" into something "WOW!". What a GREAT way to start the hop. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing . . . and for the inspiration!!!
Joy, this plate is SUPER cute but what else do I expect from SUPER JOY? I agree, what fun to find that after you finish a yummy dessert! I want to try that pumpkin roll recipe too - been wanting to try one - and if you say this is a good one - I'll go for it! Thanks for all your great tips!
It has been so long since I made one of these pumpkin logs. And you are right, they are so yum,yum, yummy!! Great plate, btw!
This is a genius idea!! Looks so fun. Have never tried etching cream before - would definitely love to!
Would love to try this. Thanks for the chance. Also, the pumpkin roll looks quite yummy!
Love this idea and how cute is "yum". I have to say great hop. I broke all the rules and for fun traveled backwards. GREAT TIME AND GREAT PROJECTS!!!
I really love the whole idea! Really like the word Yum!
Thats so cool! Have never tried to do this before!
That looks like fun. I have a set of those dollar store dessert plates. I don't even remember buying them :) I'll have to do something cute with them.
Great tutorial! Your project came out looking so clean and precise! I'm going to try leaving the etching cream on longer.
You are definitely creative! I love the idea. I have done some etching with Armor Etch and you are correct, you really have to leave it on longer than the directions say. Now that I have a Cameo, I am going to have to try to create my own stencils. Looking forward to another special project!
Where do you purchase the vinyl? I have a Cricut machine for scrap booking. Would that work for cutting the vinyl?
You can buy clear plates at IKEA if you have one near you.
This is a great idea! Having something written below the plate so that someone sees it once they finish the food- fantastic indeed! At Seaton Glass, we once got a client that wanted to etch his restaurant plates just to promote the fact that people should finish their food, hence etching the plates with inspirational quotes.

logback-gelf
============

A [Logback](http://logback.qos.ch/) appender that encodes logs to
[GELF](https://www.graylog.org/resources/gelf/) and transports them
to [Graylog](https://www.graylog.org/) servers.

**Disclaimer: This repo is no longer maintained as of v0.3 as I've
  stopped using Graylog (different job). Please reach out at
  anthony@moocar.me if you wish to take over the repo. Some
  alternative GELF appenders for logback are listed below**

* [osiegmar/logback-gelf](https://github.com/osiegmar/logback-gelf)
* [rkcpi/logback-gelf-appender](https://github.com/rkcpi/logback-gelf-appender)
* potentially more on the [graylog marketplace](https://marketplace.graylog.org/addons?kind=gelf&tag=logback)

Dependency information
-----------------------------------

Latest version:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>me.moocar</groupId>
  <artifactId>logback-gelf</artifactId>
  <version>0.3</version>
</dependency>
```

Features
--------

* Append via TCP or UDP (with chunking) to a remote graylog server
* MDC k/v converted to fields
* Fields may have types
* Auto include logger_name
* Auto include Markers
* Auto include Thread name
* Static fields (E.g facility)
* Very Few dependencies (Logback and GSON)

Configuring Logback
---------------------

__Note, 0.2 is a breaking version. It is NOT compatible with 0.12 and
previous versions. Read about the changes [here](#v02-changes)__

The minimal possible logback.xml you can write is something like.

```xml
<configuration>
    <appender name="GELF UDP APPENDER" class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfUDPAppender">
        <encoder class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GZIPEncoder">
            <layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout"/>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
   <root level="debug">
    <appender-ref ref="GELF UDP APPENDER" />
  </root>
</configuration>
```

A more complete example that shows how you would overwrite many
default values:

```xml
<configuration>
    <!--Use TCP instead of UDP-->
    <appender name="GELF TCP APPENDER" class="me.moocar.logback.net.SocketEncoderAppender">
        <remoteHost>somehost.com</remoteHost>
        <port>12201</port>
        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder">
            <layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout">
                <!--An example of overwriting the short message pattern-->
                <shortMessageLayout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
                    <pattern>%ex{short}%.100m</pattern>
                </shortMessageLayout>
                <!-- Use HTML output of the full message. Yes, any layout can be used (please don't actually do this)-->
                <fullMessageLayout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.html.HTMLLayout">
                    <pattern>%relative%thread%mdc%level%logger%msg</pattern>
                </fullMessageLayout>
                <useLoggerName>true</useLoggerName>
                <useThreadName>true</useThreadName>
                <useMarker>true</useMarker>
                <host>Test</host>
                <additionalField>ipAddress:_ip_address</additionalField>
                <additionalField>requestId:_request_id</additionalField>
                <includeFullMDC>true</includeFullMDC>
                <fieldType>requestId:long</fieldType>
                <!--Facility is not officially supported in GELF anymore, but you can use staticFields to do the same thing-->
                <staticField class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.Field">
                  <key>_facility</key>
                  <value>GELF</value>
                </staticField>
            </layout>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="debug">
        <appender-ref ref="GELF TCP APPENDER" />
    </root>
</configuration>
```

## GelfLayout

`me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout`

This is where most configuration resides, since it's the part that
actually converts a log event into a GELF compatible JSON string.

* **useLoggerName**: If true, an additional field call "_loggerName"
  will be added to each gelf message. Its contents will be the fully
  qualified name of the logger. e.g: `com.company.Thingo`. Default:
  `false`
* **useThreadName**: If true, an additional field call "_threadName"
  will be added to each gelf message. Its contents will be the name of
  the thread. Default: `false`
* **host** The hostname of the host from which the log is being sent.
  Displayed under `source` on web interface. Default:
  `getLocalHostName()`
* **useMarker**: If true, and the user has set a
   [slf4j Marker](http://slf4j.org/api/org/slf4j/Marker.html) on their
   log, then the marker.toString() will be added to the gelf message
   as the field "_marker". Default: `false`
* **shortMessageLayout**: The
  [Layout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html) used to create
  the gelf `short_message` field. Shows up in the message column of
  the log summary in the web interface. Default: `"%ex{short}%.100m"`
  ([PatternLayout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#ClassicPatternLayout))
* **fullMessageLayout**: The
  [Layout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html) used to create
  the gelf `full_message` field. Shows up in the message field of the
  log details in the web interface. Default: `"%rEx%m"`
  ([PatternLayout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#ClassicPatternLayout))
* **additionalFields**: See additional fields below. Default: empty
* **fieldType**: See field type conversion below. Default: empty
  (fields sent as string)
* **staticFields**: See static fields below. Note, now that facility
  is deprecated, use this to set a facility Default: empty
* **staticAdditionalFields**: _deprecated_. Use staticFields. Default:
  empty
* **includeFullMDC**: See additional fields below. Default: `false`

## Transports

Both UDP and TCP transports are supported. UDP is the recommended
graylog transport.

### UDP

UDP can be configured using the
`me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfUDPAppender` appender. Once messages reach
a certain size, they will be chunked according to the
[gelf spec](https://www.graylog.org/resources/gelf/). A maximum of
128 chunks can be sent per log. If the encoded log is bigger than
that, the log will be dropped. Assuming the default 512 max packet
size, this allows for 65536 bytes (64kb) total per log message
(unzipped).

* **remoteHost**: The remote graylog server host to send log messages
  to (DNS or IP). Default: `"localhost"`
* **port**: The remote graylog server port. Default: `12201`
* **maxPacketSize**: The maximum number of bytes per datagram packet.
  Once the limit is reached, packets will be chunked. Default: `512`

**GZIP**

For UDP, you have the option of Gzipping the Gelf JSON before sending
over UDP. To do this, replace the
`ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder` encoder with the
`me.moocar.logbackgelf.GZIPEncoder` encoder. E.g

```xml
<appender name="GELF UDP APPENDER" class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfUDPAppender">
    <encoder class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GZIPEncoder">
        <layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout"/>
    </encoder>
</appender>
```

Remember, The GZIP encoder should NOT be used with TCP

### TCP

TCP transport can be configured using the
`me.moocar.logback.net.SocketEncoderAppender` appender. Unfortunately,
the built in Logback [Socket
Appender](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SocketAppender)
doesn't give you control of how logs are encoded before being sent
over TCP, which is why you have to use this appender. To make the
system as flexible as possible, I moved this new appender into its
[own library](https://github.com/Moocar/socket-encoder-appender). Note
that due to an unresolved [Graylog
issue](https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/issues/127), GZIP
is not supported when using TCP.

```xml
<appender name="GELF TCP APPENDER" class="me.moocar.logback.net.SocketEncoderAppender">
    <port>12201</port>
    <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder">
        <layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout">
            ....
        </layout>
    </encoder>
</appender>
```

* **remoteHost**: The remote graylog server host to send log messages
  to (DNS or IP). Default: `"localhost"`
* **port**: The remote graylog server port. Required.
* **maxPacketSize**: The number of logs to keep in memory while the
  graylog server can't be reached. Default: `128`
* **acceptConnectionTimeout**: Milliseconds to wait for a connection
  to be established to the server before failing. Default: `1000`

Extra features
-----------------

## Additional Fields

Additional Fields are extra k/v pairs that can be added to the GELF
json, and thus searched as structured data using graylog. In the slf4j
world, [MDC](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/mdc.html) (Mapped Diagnostic
Context) is an excellent way of programmatically adding fields to your
GELF messages.

Let's take an example of adding the ip address of the client to every
logged message. To do this we add the ip address as a key/value to the
MDC so that the information persists for the length of the request,
and then we inform logback-gelf to look out for this mapping every
time a message is logged.

1.  Store IP address in MDC

```java
// Somewhere in server code that wraps every request
...
org.slf4j.MDC.put("ipAddress", getClientIpAddress());
...
```

2.  Inform logback-gelf of MDC mapping

```xml
<layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout">
    <additionalField>ipAddress:_ip_address</additionalField>
</layout>
```

If the property `includeFullMDC` is set to true, all fields from the
MDC will be added to the gelf message. Any key, which is not listed as
`additionalField` will be prefixed with an underscore. Otherwise the
field name will be obtained from the corresponding `additionalField`
mapping.

If the property `includeFullMDC` is set to false (default value) then
only the keys listed as `additionalField` will be added to a gelf
message.

### Static Fields

Use static additional fields when you want to add a static key value
pair to every GELF message. Key is the additional field key (and
should thus begin with an underscore). The value is a static string.

Now that the GELF `facility` is deprecated, this is how you add a
static facility. StaticFields replace staticAdditionalFields

E.g in the appender configuration:

```xml
<layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout">
  <staticField class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.Field">
    <key>_facility</key>
    <value>GELF</value>
  </staticField>
  <staticField class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.Field">
    <key>_node_name</key>
    <value>www013</value>
  </staticField>
</layout>
```

### Static Additional Fields (deprecated)

Static Additional fields have been deprecated and superceded by
staticFields. While they offered a more concise way of expressing the
key/value pair, it was impossible to include a colon in the value.
staticFields are fully structured and don't have this problem.

### Field type conversion

You can configure a specific field to be converted to a numeric type.
Key is the additional field key as inserted into the MDC, value is the
type to convert to. Currently supported types are ``int``, ``long``, ``float`` and ``double``.

```xml
<layout class="me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfLayout">
    <additionalField>requestId:_request_id</additionalField>
    <fieldType>requestId:long</fieldType>
</layout>
```

If the conversion fails, logback-gelf will leave the field value alone
(i.e.: send it as String) and print the stacktrace

Tests in Clojure
----------------

Logback-gelf tests are written in [Clojure](http://clojure.org/). I
could try and justify this by saying that the tests are better than
they were in java, which is true, but mostly it's because I love
Clojure and have been using it in my day job for over 3 years. I'm
aware this will make it harder for others to submit PRs, and that
pains me a little, but look, treat it as an exercise. Clojure will
make you a better programmer.

The good news is that running the tests is just as easy as before.
Simply run `mvn test`.

The other good news, is that we're now using generative testing via
[test.check](https://github.com/clojure/test.check). Tests are
generated based on specs and then properties are asserted. It means
that much more of the possible value space is tested.

If you want to test interactively, you can start a repl using `mvn
clojure:repl`, or if you want to connect via nrepl, use `mvn
clojure:nrepl`

V0.2 Changes
------------

In logback-gelf v0.2, configuration has been reworked to fit better
into the logback ecosystem. The primary driver was adding TCP
transport. Under 0.12 configuration, a transport option would have
been added to the main appender, but then there would be no logical
place to put TCP specific configuration such as connectTimeout. UDP
also has its own quirks, requiring chunking and the option of GZIP.

So the new configuration follows the logback way and provides both UDP
and TCP appenders, and the GELF serialization logic is now in a
GelfLayout. This required a significant refactor but will provide more
flexibility going forward. For example, adding a Kafka or AMPQ
appender should now be trivial, and you won't even need to modify this
library.

Because it's such a big change, I deliberately broke backwards
compatibility. Here's a list of all the changes:

- `me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfAppender` has been removed and replaced
  with `me.moocar.logbackgelf.GelfUDPAppender` and
  `me.moocar.logback.net.SocketEncoderAppender` (all non transport
  configuration is now under the `GelfLayout` Layout)
- **graylog2ServerHost** is now `GelfUDPAppender.remoteHost` or
  `SocketEncoderAppender.remoteHost`
- **graylog2ServerPort** is now `GelfUDPAppender.port` or
  `SocketEncoderAppender.port`
- **facility** is deprecated in GELF 1.1, so I've removed it. It can
  be added using
  [Static Additional Fields](#static-additional-fields).
- **hostName** is now **host** (to be inline with Gelf spec)
- **graylog2ServerVersion** no longer exists since it's assumed that
  you are using graylog 1.0 or above.
- **chunkThreshold** is now `GelfUDPAppender.maxPacketSize` and the
  default is 512 bytes.
- **messagePattern** is now **fullMessageLayout** and is no longer
  assumed to be a
  [PatternLayout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#ClassicPatternLayout),
  rather it is a generic
  [Layout](http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html), giving you full
  flexibility over how a message string is transformed. For example,
  if you really wanted, you could use a XML or HTML layout.
- **shortMessagePattern** same as above. Note that auto truncation no
  longer occurs. You must now describe how to format the log message
  using Layouts.
- Testing is [now in Clojure](#tests-in-clojure)

In today's press release, FIRE announced that Central Michigan University (CMU) has agreed to revise an "anti-discrimination" policy it had applied to all registered student organizations. CMU's policy stated that groups could not deny membership to students on the basis of a host of categories, including "political persuasion." Under that policy, any ideological or political group on campus, including Young Americans for Freedom (YAF—the affected group in this case), Students Against Discrimination, and the Gay/Straight Alliance would have to admit members hostile to the group's mission.
FIRE has often opposed universities' application of anti-discrimination policies that include "belief" as a blanket protected category, since ideological, political, and religious organizations should have the right to associate only with other students who share their beliefs. Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000) is the leading Supreme Court case supporting this position. We usually make these arguments on behalf of religious student organizations, such as the Christian group Princeton Faith and Action, LSU's Muslim Students Association, or the Christian Law Students' Association at Pace Law School, all of which were told by their respective administrations that they could not limit membership to students who shared their beliefs.
Interestingly, CMU seemed to at least partially appreciate the necessity of allowing groups to require members to have shared beliefs, because its Registered Student Organization Manual allows religious organizations to "use religious beliefs as a criterion for selection of membership or leadership." CMU's restrictions on limiting group membership based on belief therefore applied only to secular ideological groups—a distinction with no basis in law or logic.
The best way to get rid of them, is for everyone in this group to go to their meetings and we all vote eachother [sic] on to the eboard [sic] and dissolve the group.
Another thing we can do is make it public that we intend to bring in a ton of people and watch them change their membership requirements which might make them slip up and break a cmu [sic] discrimination policy.
YAF appealed to FIRE, and we wrote to CMU President Michael Rao on March 16 to inform him that CMU's policy was unconstitutional, that it contradicted the Court's decision in Boy Scouts v. Dale, and that it placed YAF in danger of being deliberately undermined by students who wished to banish the group from campus.
[FIRE's] inquiry prompted a review of CMU's policy and general counsel has advised that the legal principle in question is "freedom of association," which has been protected by the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, in several cases. Like most universities, CMU will not oppose established principles as promulgated by the highest courts.
CMU has developed a new policy, which states that "[a] belief-based registered student organization may use its belief system as a criterion for selection of membership or leadership." President Rao assures FIRE that this policy will be fully implemented by the beginning of the Fall 2007 semester.

By SARAH SHMERLING | Editor-in-Chief
The Yale Spizzwinks(?)—touted as the world's oldest underclassman a cappella group—will perform in Pacific Palisades at Kehillat Israel on Sunday, January 5, at 4 p.m.
The show will feature Yale junior and Marquez Knolls native Brendan Rose, Harvard-Westlake Class of 2017 and Yale Class of 2021, who is majoring in biochemistry.
"To each member of the Spizzwinks(?), there is a promise given that he will visit all six inhabited continents and his hometown with the group," Rose shared ahead of the performance. "This winter break, it is my turn to take the group to my hometown, and I could not be more excited."
The Spizzwinks(?), an all-male group of undergraduates, was founded in 1914. The group's repertoire has grown over the years to include a range of songs, including everything from Sinatra to Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars to The Beatles.
Performances also include Yale classics, as well as "a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor."
"This winning brand of collegiate a cappella has moved audiences around the world to tears and laughter, with a fan club including Lady Gaga, Joe Biden and the vice premier of China," according to the group's website.
The Spizzwinks(?) is a nonprofit organization, comprised of fully enrolled students, with a goal of spreading music education and performance, both around the world and at home. Some of the group's performances are completely free, and they offer masterclasses to communities around the world, including Morocco and Myanmar.
KI is located at 16019 Sunset Blvd. Tickets start at $10 and go up to $25 for priority seating.

Coveted throughout the centuries by kings and sultans of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, the Anatolian mountains hold a secret gemmologists believe has been kept for over 100 million years.
A precious gemstone so exceptional, it has been identified as a previously unknown variety of diaspore. Only found in one place in the world, CSARITE® quality Turkish diaspore is meticulously excavated at a height of more than 3,000 feet in the remote foothills of the Anatolian mountains in Turkey.
In order to qualify under the CSARITE® brand, Turkish diaspore is mined at a location so remote its whereabouts have only recently been discovered in our lifetime. Its seclusion and inaccessibility have tested modern engineering to supply running water and electricity to the area, and into the depths of these great mountains.
As the world's only CSARITE® deposit, its exclusivity is without question.
The more rare the gemstone, the greater its value. CSARITE® places this concept of rarity into an entirely new point of reference. While it is said that Tanzanite is 1,000 times more rare than a diamond, CSARITE® exceeds the rarity of Tanzanite by ten times more. Further still, just 50 per cent of the rough crystals mined are suitable for faceting, and 98 per cent of these are lost during cutting.
A precious gemstone 10,000 times more rare than a diamond.


That a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report said that the quality of learning disability services varies widely across the country, and is not improving quickly enough, will not have been a surprise to anyone. Nor is the call for urgent remedial action unexpected.
The CQC's Care Update found that, while there has been some improvement by those delivering services for people with learning disabilities, there are still too many independent services not delivering care that puts people first.
To echo what several commentators have already said – among them Molly Mattingly from the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities – this is unacceptable.
We have also been here before. Many times.
In the past couple of years alone I – and many others – have written on numerous occasions about how change is urgently needed in learning disability residential services. That I am still writing about it shows that not enough has been done, and that change is now even more desperately required.
Perhaps most frustratingly, what constitutes best practice in the sector is well known but still isn't standard across the board. Over the years, the Government has set out examples of best practice in reports, as have various others including charities, service providers and academics. It isn't as if such practice is some hidden holy grail.
This echoes what Jan Tregelles, acting chief executive of learning disability charity Mencap, and Vivien Cooper, founder of The Challenging Behaviour Foundation, said in a joint statement about local commissioners having a responsibility to take urgent action to develop support and services to that follow best practice standards.
Of course, this is easier said than done – good services aren't developed overnight – but commissioners should at least have plans in place for change, given the timetable for reform that the Government outlined in its response to the Winterbourne View scandal last November.
Times are tight – and will get tighter when the next financial year begins next month – but that should just mean commissioners work more closely with providers and people with learning disabilities to find the best way forward.
As numerous examples have shown, improved services can be delivered and don't have to cost more. Not securing best practice simply means that people with learning disabilities continue to be failed.

Plum Crabbie
Jon Savoye, our stone mason, found Plum Crabbie one September or October day a few years ago in a row of trees with seedling rootstocks. The Haralson tree that had originally been grafted onto this particular rootstock had perished. Then the rootstock grew to be a tree and produced apples. It's a similar chain of events that led to the Delicious apple tree Jesse Hiatt found on his farm in Peru, Iowa. Since his discovery, far more Delicious apples have been grown than any other variety. And all of them are generations from that one tree!
Many other new varieties have come about in this way, very unintentionally, and have become famous, as well. So growers know to keep an eye out for this sort of thing. And just so you don't think we fall in love with any old thing that grows and calls itself an apple, I'll tell you that we've discarded many because they were no fun at all. By nature, I think everything has value. But we've tasted some junkers, and, wherever their value is, we don't presently have the wisdom to find it.
So Jon had discovered this fabulous-tasting, unique-textured, long plum-shaped crab apple on a tree that had grown bigger and bushier than the Haralson trees that surrounded it. We came up with a description of its flavor almost immediately, saying it was like licking the inside of the lid of a Welch's frozen concentrated grape juice can. That's right, concentrated Concord grapes. What a kick!
Now, we know they're a little strong for most people. There's a lot of acid in there, and a wallop of concentrated, purple grape-ish flavor. I claim it's at least 5x concentrate. Maybe 7x. The texture of the flesh is refined, super-crisp and delicate to chew, and wet with juice. The skin, too, is the easy-to-chew kind, which I find most enjoyable.
We've propagated a hundred or so Plum Crabbie trees and planted them in the orchard. I picked my pockets full from the young trees at just the proper harvest time when we passed the new planting on a wagon ride with friends. I'm still holding some in the fridge, but the ones I ate were some of the best apples I've ever eaten.
Yes, I did give everyone on the wagon one to try. Like I say, they're too strong for most people, which is what we'd expect when we're so far to an extreme. But some of us really like it over here on this edge.
Another variety with flavor similarities to Plum Crabbie is our Nectarapple.


 Now is the time to buy. Andrew Alberti of Pahrump, Nevada, brings 22 years of real estate, escrow and loan experience including foreclosures, defaults, Pahrump land, Pahrump custom homes.
If there is no program in place to preserve this precious commodity and we will eventually follow Las Vegas down the dry road.
Arizona had an aquifer go dry. Now they have a law in place to guarantee their future supply or you cannot build homes.
After all, what good is a home without water.

Does the world feel like it is speeding up? It is certainly not slowing down, and as technology and opportunities advance, there are so many options to spend our time making it harder and harder to find space within and feel your connection to a larger global and universal picture.
Perhaps the most important thing we can do right now as a collective is to empty ourselves of the un-necessary and reclaim our connection to nature and our true identity. We invite you to experience some of the peace and quiet you are longing for.
The mind is filled with questions, the answers you seek are found in silence. When connected to your true self and the natural world there is no question. Great masters and teachers have been sharing the benefits of a silent mind for centuries.
Our daily struggles and suffering is directly linked to our feelings of separation from the whole. That separation is an illusion of the mind. When the mind is quiet we settle into our heart center where all is connected in ONENESS and we finally enter ADVAITA.
At Raven Crest, our mission is to provide a beautiful, pristine home in Nature for all those who are yearning for reconnection. We will begin our 2019 retreat season with an invitation into your own peace of mind.
Experience the pristine surroundings of the natural world on our 300 acre property, enjoy vegetarian Ayurvedic meals, group meditations and dharma talks and most importantly…enjoy your SELF in oneness with all that is. Silence is the greatest teacher and heart connector. Where there are no words, the truth awaits you.

Oakland Police Department: Roaring Into Illegality
Noise Free America
Louis Hagler
Ted Rueter
Madison: The Oakland police department has won this month's Noisy Dozen award from Noise Free America for equipping all 45 of its Harley Davidson motorcycles with loud tailpipes–in violation of federal noise standards. In Oakland, the police department is a major contributor to noise and lawlessness.
The Oakland police department's new noisemakers average 93 decibels–well above the federal standard of 80 decibels. Also, the department's action to modify factory-issued mufflers in any way violates the federal Noise Control Act of 1972.
Dave Kozick, Oakland's deputy police chief, justified the department's lawlessness by asserting that "there's an old motorcycle adage that you are heard before you are seen." He cited a lone anecdote in which an Oakland police motorcyclist was hit by a motorist who said he hasn't seen the officer.
However, even the national Motorcycle Industry Council, which represents the largest motorcycle manufacturers, does not support the ridiculous argument that "loud pipes save lives." Mike Mount, the group's spokesman, said that "we encourage all motorcycle riders to keep the original low sound levels that meet the federal sound limit of 80 decibels. It would seem counter-intuitive that a law enforcement agency would go against federal standards."
Louis Hagler, a resident of Oakland, is a medical doctor who has researched the health effects of noise pollution. Dr. Hagler stated that "at a time when motorcycle manufacturers, riders associations, citizens groups, and municipalities all over the country are working to quiet the noise of motorcycles, the Oakland Police Department has decided to make its motorcycles noisier. This is shameful! The Oakland police is violating federal noise regulations and the state vehicular code–and adding to the city's unwanted and unhealthy noise."
According to Mike Smith, an anti-noise activist in Pulaski, Virginia, "Oakland has long been a national trend-setter when it comes to noise and anti-social behavior. Some of the first boom cars originated in Oakland, as well as Sideshows–both of which have become national menaces, making life miserable for millions of Americans," said Smith. "Now the Oakland Police Department is adopting loud after-market pipes for their motorcycle fleet in the dawn of new enforcement measures across America to quiet these noisemakers. Not even the American Motorcycle Association supports the idiotic claim that noise equals safety. The Oakland Police Department's actions violate the EPA's 'label matching' regulation that governs motorcycle exhausts. The police should not be in the business of flagrantly violating the law."
Ted Rueter, Noise Free America's director, commented that "Oakland cops claimed that they 'felt unsafe' riding quiet motorcycles. This is absurd. There is not a shred of evidence that loud pipes are safer than quiet pipes. Most motorcycle accidents are head-on collisions. Obviously, motorists ahead of motorcyclists cannot hear the thunderous roar. Also, loud pipes–besides violating the law–cause confusion for other motorists, and cause hearing loss. They make other drivers angry and disoriented. In reality, loud pipes probably cause accidents."
Rueter added, "police in this country are a major problem. Most police departments make noise enforcement a low priority. They let cars and motorcycles with loud stereos and loud pipes roam the streets with impunity, harming the public health and welfare. Now we discover that the police in Oakland actually enjoy making noise. We will only have peace and quiet when police departments recognize that noise violations are crimes, and must be enforced."
Noise Free America is a national citizens organization opposed to noise pollution. Its web site is www.noisefree.org. Past "winners" of the Noisy Dozen ward include Stockton, northeast Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, UCLA, Governor Gray Davis, and Congressman Darrell Issa www.noisefree.org/newsroom/pressreleases.php.

Why Do So Few People Believe In GhostArk?
February 01, 2016 9:17 PM ‐ Paranormal • Ghost Hunting
If you've been following me on social media or my blog then you'll know I'm very excited about the release of a new ghost hunting device called GhostArk but in the last few week's before shipping, many of the product's backers have shifted from excitement to disdain.
GhostArk feels like it's been a long time coming, but in reality it's only been about a year from the initial announcement of the product until today, the week it ships.
Customers were invited to pre-order the product eight months ago. As an impatient person, I can understand how an eight month wait for something you've paid for can be frustrating, especially as I am so eager to get my hands on the finished device.
Now we're just days away from getting our devices through the post and I'm amazed to see that some of GhostArk's first customers, those who pre-ordered the device, have gone from being excited to paranoid.
As the shipping date edged ever closer, the company has become the victim of a backlash from some of its customers. A mixture of impatience and fear mongering has brought a handful of customers to the conclusion that GhostArk is a scam. Despite the fact that they've followed the progress of the device being built through blog posts, seen it's components stripped bare in videos and seen photos of the finished product being packaged ready for shipping, some say the product doesn't exist.
If you know me then you'll know I'm a massive skeptic, I don't actually believe in ghosts so you may think it's odd that I'm buying a GhostArk at all... but, I don't have to believe to be able to pick up the same readings as a full fledged, believing, ghost hunter. The only difference is, to me the flashing light on my ghost detector will be the result of something which can be explained whereas the believer will be convinced it's a ghost. Which is fine, we can all believe what we want.
So, these customer with an issue, who are they? Well, they are believers, they are ghost hunters who believe in the paranormal. There's never been any conclusive proof that ghosts exist. Not one irrefutable photograph of a spirit.... ever, yet these people strongly believe in the existence of ghosts.
What I find odd is that these people are able to make the massive leap of faith to conclude that ghosts are real yet they doubt the existence of a product which they have clearly seen in photographs and videos. They know the name of the company in China who is making them, they've even been given a tracking code for their package and seen pictures of the boxes ready to ship.
To start with I thought it was odd that these people who tend to default on the side of belief would refuse to believe in this product which they once supported, but then I realised that the mindset of these people is that of the conspiracy theorist. They look for ghosts because they believe there is more than meets the eye and they apply that same logic to GhostArk. They over analyse every comment or update put out by the company and jot down every detail in their little ghost spotter's book and then cross-reference it with the next update.
For example, I was forwarded an email from the Chinese manufacturer. It was written in poor pigeon English and said...
"We need to say GhostArk are working very hard on this project. And due to the Chinese New Year holidays. The production are Hold, and when we back from CNY holidays we will start the fabrication more production ASAP. We need to say GhostArk have placed all quantity they they get, and we well send the production to each customers ASAP."
Moko Technology
Now, to my non-conspiratorial mind, I read that as "GhostArk are working very hard on this project, however due to the Chinese New Year production will be put on hold (from this weekend, February 6/7th) but once we re-open production will resume and we'll continue to ship the products to customers."
However, I read someone else's interpretation of that email on GhostArk's Facebook page. This is what he had to say, "nothing has been built. You guys didn't believe me before. Now see this, direct from the REAL manufacturer. GhostArk has nothing to do with building anything. 'The production are hold until we get back from CNY holidays.' Typical manufacturers in China take a few weeks off for Chinese New Year. So, customers won't be seeing anything for several weeks. My educated guess is you'll never see a product... ever."
See what I mean, a totally different interpretation, he hasn't understood it to mean that the plant are going to be taking a break over the holidays, he's read it as they haven't even started making anything yet, let alone shipped anything.
He goes on to say "notice GhostArk has gone silent too? Have you put two and two together yet?"
To his conspiratorial mind he may feel GhostArk are neglecting their customers, but the truth is they've posted on Facebook several times over the last few days, including today when they confirmed that "the first 200 devices have already been shipped, as communicated by our manufacturing company. The others will be shipped soon, any delay which may occur is due to the spring festival in China." which is of course how I interpreted the email above.
GhostArk haven't gone quiet at all, they've replied to people's concerns on Facebook too and according to their profile, Facebook says GhostArk "typically replies within an hour" to private messages, I'd say that's pretty good customer service.
I can understand if they don't want to wade into the debate on their Facebook page, often the best way to deal with negative criticism on social media as company is to pull back. A segment of backers have become such an angry mob that no matter what GhostArk say they'll be picked apart, they just can't win.
At the end of the day, GhostArk don't need to defend themselves. To any rational person it's clear that this product has been built and is being shipped to customers. It may have taken a bit longer than they would have liked but you have to be a little forgiving, we all knew we were backing a new product that wasn't even in production yet when we coughed up our cash. GhostArk have never manufactured a product before and I can only imagine how difficult corresponding with a Chinese production house and arranging worldwide shipping must be, of course there is going to be bumps in the road but I think they've done a great job to go from blueprint to consumers in just a year.
I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on my GhostArk and I'll be telling you all about it when I do, starting with an unboxing video the day it arrives.

Sunderland International Airshow
The air show at Roker Beach has been cancelled
2023 Cancelled
The 2023 show has been cancelled
The Red Arrows are regulars at the Sunderland International Airshow
Sunderland is one of the longest-running seaside airshows: 2021 would have been the 32nd Sunderland International Airshow. Activities usually start on Friday evening and continue all day Saturday and Sunday, with flying displays and arena events.
Normally, visitors expect a very good military presence in the air and on the ground with RAF, Army and Navy military villages as well as the usual craft and trade stands. However, regrettably the show was cancelled in 2021 because of Covid-19.
The 2022 show was planned for July but the City Council instead issued a statement about rethinking the events programme and hinting that the airwhow would not figure in it. The statement is reproduced below.
The local news media are reporting that the 2023 show has also been cancelled and that the Council has no plans to run a show in the future, partly for environmental reasons. The media report is here.
Statement from Sunderland City Council about the 2022 programme
City rethinks events
Sunderland City Council has announced that it is rethinking its events programme.
This is in light of listening to residents' views around events through its Let's Talk consultation last August and also continuing uncertainty around Covid.
The consultation was focussed around seeking residents views both on existing events and the type of events they would like to see in the future and the Council will be announcing new events soon.
Continued uncertainty around the pandemic and the impact this has on planning for events has also led to the decision that Sunderland Airshow will not go ahead this summer [emphasis added].
The Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councillor Graeme Miller, said: "We know from our own experience and that of other event organisers over the last 22 months just how difficult Covid makes it to plan for events, particularly when it comes to large scale events with a long lead in time such as the Sunderland Airshow.
"Because of the nature of the airshow and the infrastructure and contracts that need to be put in place to support it, we have reached the stage where we would need to commit now to allow the event to go ahead this summer which we just don't feel able to do that at the moment. It simply doesn't make financial sense at this point in time to make such a commitment given the current uncertainty around the pandemic and the fact that we don't where we are likely to be with Covid come the summer.
"However residents can rest assured that events remain as important to this city as ever as our own events programme and those of our partners continue to grow and evolve, attracting exciting new events which appeal to residents and visitors alike.
"We also recognise that it's vital to listen to residents and to refresh our events programme from time to time which is why we held our Let's Talk events consultation in the summer to give residents the opportunity to give their views on our events programme and the type of new events they would like to see in our city.
"We know that residents are keen for there to be new and different events in the city and ones that they can take part in as well as attend with family and friends. This is also in line with the ambitions set out in our City Plan around more people getting physically active. So we'd urge people to keep an eye out for details of exciting new events which will be announced in coming months."

Accommodation near the Sunderland Airshow
It is best to book as far as possible in advance. This is not only because nearby hotels and guest houses tend get booked up well before the date of an airshow but also because prices can be better when you book early online.
There are plenty of booking agencies. We find that many of the well known ones are better at finding hotels from international or larger UK chains and may suggest hotels in main towns or cities quite a distance from the show site.
Some Options
There are two Premier Inn hotels in Sunderland and another 11 within 15 miles.
Travelodge have two hotels in Sunderland itself and another six within 10 miles.

Street Fighter 5 Passes Sales Of Original Street Fighter 4 Release
The game's sales finally passes the first version of the previous title.
Posted By Landon Wright | On 08th, Aug. 2019 Under News
Street Fighter 5 launched back in 2016 to some mixed feelings. While, on a purely technical level, the game is about the best the series has ever been, the lack of communication and features hampered the experience. Largely because of that, the game lagged behind its predecessor. Capcom have worked over the years to improve the overall experience, and it looks like it's worked. Better late than never, because the game has now passed the sales of the original, vanilla release of Street Fighter 4.
Capcom updated their Platinum Sellers page to show that Street Fighter 5 has now shipped 3.7 million copies, which puts it just over the 3.4 million of vanilla Street Fighter 4 It's quite the bump, since that would put it as selling roughly 600,000 units from the last quarter, which is not an insignificant increase in sales. But it is worth noting that this includes only the original release of SF4. If you count the re-releases of that game, it's got a significant lead.
How much of a success you want to gauge that as is up to you. Clearly the amount of copies lagged behind, but there's also been significantly more piecemeal DLC in the game than 4 had, with costumes and stages, with potentially more coming by the end of the year. If you want to try Street Fighter 5 out yourself, there's a free trial of the game running until August 11th for both PlayStation 4 and PC.

Your internet speed is generally determined by the connection and service levels your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) or telecom/satellite deliver to the jobsite. Once you have an internet connection on at the site, the DEWALT Jobsite WiFi system can wirelessly expand the service to cover the entire property.
For optimal performance we recommend at the very least a 50Mbps down and 25Mbps up ISP connection. More bandwidth will obviously help the performance even more. For comparison, the below table provides typical performance of common tasks.
Note - WiFi speeds will vary greatly by Internet Service Provider (ISP), bandwidth/data plan, and number of users at a given time.

Papir-maše ( — papirna "kaša") je likovna tehnika izrade upotrebnih predmeta, figura, skulptura, nameštaja, itd. Postoji nekoliko "recepata" za papir-maše. Spravlja se od usitnjenog papira (ili celuloznog praha), veziva (skrob, PVA lepak) i vode u određenom odnosu.

Prilikom izrade predmeta od papir-mašea, ponekad se kombinuje rad sa pulpom i rad u slojevima (papirne ili čak tekstilne trake potopljene u rastvor veziva). Tekstil se ponekad koristi zbog konačne čvrstoće premeta koji se izrađuje, iako je i sam papir ponekad dovoljan. Gotov i osušen predmet može naknadno da se obrađuje (brusi, seče) i ima čvrstoću drveta.

But in addition, they'll be taking a page from Colombian politics and driving a "Chiva Bus" through Miami neighborhoods such as Hialeah and Doral this Saturday, inviting people at downtown brunch spots to visit the polls early, and barbequing in area parks this weekend.
What: Taco Tuesday for Gillum!

Gypsum is an abundant mineral rock from which you make plaster and commonly found in the earth crust and quarried worlwide.
The process to make plaster is easy and requires low temperature, almost 200 degree that can be home made in your oven at home! The chemical process is 100% reversible!
In 9000 BC in Asia, the production of plaster indeed started in an oven and plaster was used for instance by the ancient Egyptians to plaster the pyramid of Cheops in Gizeh. Gypsum powder, scientifically called calcium sulphate is the only natural substance that can be restored to its original rock-like state by the addition of water alone, formed into shape and hardened.
The beauty of Gypsum is its sustainability throughout the life cycle of the product: from extraction to manufacturing, use in construction, renaturation and recycling into the same product.
The European construction sector is strategically important for Europe providing buildings and infrastructure on which all sectors of the economy depend. It is the biggest sectoral employer and a major contributor to Gross Capital Formation in Europe1.
In Europe, the Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste is not a European market at all. It has a strong regional orientation.
This regional orientation makes it difficult to obtain solid statistics, let alone to predict a solid forecast of the developments of C&D waste in Europe and moreover so for gypsum waste.
Based on assumptions of the square meter used per capita in the 27 Member States, it is estimated that the amount of Gypsum waste – stemming from construction, renovation and demolition is approximately 2.350.000 ton/year covering the 27 member States. Production waste in the 27 member States is estimated at 627.600 ton/year, a substantial proportion of which is recycled in the plants2. There are very limited data available on plasterboard waste generation beyond anecdotal evidence and ad hoc projects.
Production waste (e.g. gypsum boards which do not meet specifications and waste resulting from the manufacturing process). The volume of production waste currently recycled is approximately 5%.
Waste resulting from construction sites (called construction waste). The gypsum construction waste currently recycled is estimated, at current market volumes – at ca. 7%.
Demolition waste. The last category includes both demolition and renovation waste and is the most complex to address because it adheres to other construction materials (such as plasters, paints & screeds etc). The demolition waste does not depend on market volumes and its recycling is estimated at ca. 1%.
The environmental preference is ultimately to reducing waste at source, i.e. at the design stage. Nonetheless, as waste is inevitably generated during construction, demolition and renovation, the focus is placed on turning traditional Gypsum Waste into a business opportunity.
On 19 December 2002 the Council of the European Union took a decision to establish criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills. Section 2.2.3 of the annex mentions: "Non-hazardous gypsum-based materials should be disposed of only in landfills for non-hazardous waste in cells where no biodegradable waste is accepted".
The European Gypsum industry aims to optimise the life-cycle impact of gypsum products and systems (from cradle to cradle). In 2010, the Gypsum Industry developed with the European Commission the Green public procurement criteria for wall panels (i.e. plasterboard). The current project will create an opportunity to reassess those criteria, particularly those relating to the percentage of recycled gypsum in the board which is set currently at 2% in the comprehensive criteria3.
The main barrier to create a recycling culture within the construction industry is that buildings are currently demolished and not dismantled in the majority of the Member States. This leads to unsegregated waste going to landfill without having the possibility to recover valuable recyclable materials, like gypsum products.
Notwithstanding the above, this mentality is currently changing, mainly in Western Europe (Germany, France and the UK).
As an example, in the UK, with the inception of the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations (SWMP) in 2008, the demolition industry tends to have a good idea of the amount of Plasterboard to be removed from a building. The demolition industry is also able to stream all other materials fairly accurately as well. Although the SWMP Regulations do have a minimum threshold (£300000) for when the Plan is required, with the type of software formats available for the Plan and the reasonable ease with which they can be populated, this can be done reasonably easily and without too much resource required.

The pharmacy is a service we mostly take for granted in the United States. No matter how tangled our health care system becomes, it's relatively easy to have a prescription filled when needed, with most people living within a few minutes' drive of a drug store. Even more than convenience, we're fortunate to have the reliability of pharmacists, who apply their training to ensuring that people are receiving the correct drug, the proper dose of drug, and that no dangerous drug-drug interactions are risked.
Such routine pharmacy matters rarely cross our mind, but in a post-disaster setting such as Haiti, they are monumental challenges. The good news is that donations of drugs and other medical supplies started to pour into the country soon after the earthquake that killed and injured hundreds of thousands in the Caribbean nation. The bad news was that most of those supplies arrived in the most disorganized fashion possible – giant cardboard boxes and duffel bags haphazardly filled with pills, syringes, bandages and everything else a medical relief effort requires. Each time a doctor needed a particular type of medicine for a patient, they would have to go digging through these boxes for the right drug, like a child searching for the last Snickers bar in a bag of Halloween candy.
So when Dima Awad, a pharmacist at the University of Chicago Medical Center, arrived at the field hospital in Fond Parisien, Haiti, a cheer literally went up among the medical team stationed in the camp. Awad quickly took charge of the mess of medical supplies and set about organizing them into a functional pharmacy, based in one of the rooms of the Love A Child Orphanage unharmed by the earthquake. With the help of a Haitian carpenter who built wooden shelves and a counter using only hand tools, Awad established the first functional post-earthquake pharmacy in all of Haiti. Members of the University of Chicago Haiti Relief team who have returned from the Fond Parisien camp said that this pharmacy may have been the most important contribution the team made to the field hospital.
