Canada's new aid policy: Responsibility to reimburse?
by David Carment and Stewart Prest
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the benefits expected to come from folding Canada's development agency, CIDA, under the wing of Foreign Affairs. The new entity will be home to development, trade and foreign policy and likely will be called DFATD. Many pundits see the change as positive, anticipating gains in policy coherence.
Others have made the efficiency argument, foreseeing gains through the elimination of duplication. Still others laud the move as a shift toward "whole of government" engagement in the world, and as such the continuation of a process initiated under Paul Martin.
These are potentially valid arguments, but are all based on conjecture and untestable, given the lack of transparency in the current government's foreign policy, which ranges from scant parliamentary accountability to minimal public engagement. Without a clear and publicly available framework indicating how revamped development resources are to be allocated and evaluated, it will be difficult to know if this new 'mega-bureaucracy' will have a meaningful impact along the lines its advocates claim.
In fact, the Harper government's previous attempts at centralization give little reason for optimism. For instance, there have been no lasting gains achieved through tight-fisted PMO task forces in both Afghanistan and Haiti. Both have gobbled up billions of dollars in aid money with no real gains in efficiency and at the cost of reduced transparency and accountability.
If more efficient development assistance is not the primary motive for the change, then what is? We believe it's the government's intention to exert greater political control over a controversial and potentially revolutionary development agenda: harnessing the Canadian aid budget as a new instrument of Canada's economic policy abroad.
There's already a precedent: in 2011 CIDA's then-minister Bev Oda announced the government's intention to co-fund a project in Peru with Barrick Gold, with both parties contributing $500,000 to "increase the income and standard of living of 1,000 families affected by mining operations." Similar partnerships were announced concurrently in Burkina Faso and Ghana. More recently, the government announced a disbursement of $25 million to a UBC-led university consortium. The money is dedicated to advancing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in developing countries.
Though government statements on the subject are notoriously opaque, the balance of evidence suggests that we will see more of such arrangements in the future.
What makes this shift revolutionary? First, the focus on CSR takes aid away from its traditional focus on poverty reduction and deliberately places it outside the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act. Second, the new approach to aid makes a direct link between particular economic activities by Canadian firms on the one hand, and Canadian development assistance on the other.
In doing so, the government is acknowledging, however unintentionally, a very specific ethical obligation: where lives and communities have been "affected" (to use the government's own term) by mining activities in Ghana, Peru, and Burkina Faso, the Canadian government is now attempting to make some form of restitution in partnership with the responsible private firms. Rather than reducing poverty or enhancing national security, Canadian aid in these cases is driven by a logic of harm reduction.
One might ask, "So what?" There are a number of significant consequences. First, there is legal precedent. Having placed Government of Canada funds behind CSR activities, Canada might find itself held responsible in local courts for the successful realization of those programs.
Likewise, the new policy creates a "moral precedent." Activists both here and abroad that oppose Canada's mining activities will seize on the example created through such partnerships and demand that the government undertake similar activities wherever Canadian firms have extracted value in a way that disturbed existing economies and environments. Where once NGOs spoke of the Responsibility to Protect, they might increasingly push Canada (and other developed governments) to honour a Responsibility to Reimburse. While there may be some justice in such an agenda, it would push the Canadian aid program even further from its former core mandate.
Simply put, instead of fighting poverty, or guaranteeing Canadians' security, the Government of Canada is positioning itself as a guarantor of Canadian businesses' corporate social responsibilities abroad. Once made, such commitments will prove hard to unmake, and Canadian foreign and development policy will suffer considerably as a result.

Another fantastic article from our friends at NaturalAndHealthyLiving.com, this list explores some of the best natural remedies for stretch marks you can make yourself, or buy.
Stretch marks plague even the best and most active of us, and 99% of us will get stretch marks at some point in our lives. Often people turn to cheap vitamin E filled creams to do the job – but usually the products are terrible and gimmicky.
These natural herbs, oils, and recipes use proven ingredients and astringents to help even out the skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines and marks.
Our favorite is the homemade cinnamon body butter for cellulite. Check it out, it's pretty great. Let them and us know what you thought of the recipe!


Dad of teen who died after being mistaken for dead says fire department "dropped the ball"
CHICAGO -- The family of a teenage shooting victim whom Chicago paramedics covered with a sheet mistakenly believing he was dead is questioning the actions of first responders. The father of 17-year-old Erin Carey says the family's attorney sent out notices to both the Chicago fire and police departments to preserve all documents and evidence from their investigations.
"I really think that Chicago Fire Department really dropped the ball on my son," Eric Carey said Wednesday, according to CBS station WBBM-TV.
Erin Carey was shot during an early Monday shooting that also left a woman dead.
"Did you check and see if he even had a pulse?" Eric Carey said at a press conference.
Erin Carey is seen in a photo obtained by CBS Chicago station WBBM-TV.
A fire department spokesman admits mistakes were made.
Erin Carey was covered with a white sheet when bystanders noticed the teen was still breathing.
"Moved his head from side to side and his arms, so he is not dead," one first responder is heard in a radio transmission, WBBM-TV reports.
He was taken to a hospital where he died Tuesday.
Police say they believe the shooting was gang related. No arrests have been made.


During the TTPM Spring Showcase we stopped by the Mattel booth to see what they have in store for their Spring toy line. We saw the latest for the upcoming movie Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. We also saw some Hot Wheels sets and Mecard line.
On the second floor of the show Mattel had a Jurassic World themed area for kids to play with props and ride on cars.
We saw some pretty cool items in the booth and the kids looked like they were having a blast in the play area. The staff in the booth was great. We enjoyed stopping by their booth.


Every business crisis has a unique origin, calling for a unique course of action. Recovery management demands customised solutions, interdependent on a how far a crisis has progressed. In some cases, an extrajudicial recovery without bankruptcy proceedings is unavoidable. This always occurs when you cannot reach a settlement agreement with your creditors. Insolvency, however, does not necessarily mean the death penalty for you and your company. The new insolvency regulation supports options for recovering your company via planned, structured insolvency procedures. Two such procedures are debtor-in-possession or the protective umbrella (section 270a and 270b German Insolvency Statute (InsO)). Both follow the ultimate objective of granting creditors a better settlement than a bust-up would provide. Company preservation is priority in this instance. The current management remains in office, court consent allowing, and steers the company through the turnaround. TMC reinforces preparations by drawing up a sustainable, well-founded recovery concept – a crucial component of the insolvency plan.
An insolvency plan offers an alternative to regular insolvency proceedings, not only within the framework of an extrajudicial recovery, but also during open proceedings. The objective is to solve the insolvency case outside of the Insolvency Statute's liquidation regulations, more often than not attaining a better settlement for creditors.
A pre-packaged plan is drawn up and pre-negotiated or settled with creditors before being submitted to the courts along with the insolvency petition. Once approved by the court, planned measures can be executed immediately, greatly expediting the insolvency plan.
Two advantages to a pre-packaged plan is its transparency for creditors and the shareholders' participation in recovery success.
The protective umbrella procedure (section 270b German Insolvency Statute (InsO)) is based on the USA Chapter 11 procedure. The protective umbrella procedure is a derivative of the provisional debtor-in-possession procedure and limited to the time frame between petitioning for insolvency and opening insolvency proceedings. Accompanied by an insolvency monitor, the debtor has three months in which to develop a recovery plan. Thus, the protective umbrella procedure is literally outside of the insolvency proceedings. The primary objective of this procedure is to trigger an early recovery, establishing a debtor-in-possession status.
Our in-depth experience serves you by preparing and drawing up applications and a recovery plan. We guide your company management through recovery proceedings, ensuring you have the most suitable insolvency monitor. Should it serve you best, we assume executive or CRO responsibilities to, among others, build stakeholder confidence or dissipate risks to your management.
The debtor-in-possession procedure is intended to facilitate your company's recovery. The essential right of disposal, the responsibility and control over the recovery remains with the company's executive management and does not, upon opening insolvency proceedings, pass onto an insolvency administrator (section 270 para. 1 cl. 1 German Insolvency Statute (InsO)). Recovery, including administration and asset disposal lies in the hands of the debtor, under an insolvency monitor's supervision.
A debtor-in-possession procedure demands more than determination in executing recovery measures. You also need substantial economic and legal acumen. TMC has both to fortify you as auto-administering CEO as well as your insolvency monitor.
Upon petitioning for a protective umbrella order, you must present a confirmation issued by an experienced insolvency consultant, auditor or solicitor. This document confirms that your company does not yet qualify as insolvent, but is threatened by insolvency or excessive over-indebtedness. Furthermore, your company must be classified as capable of recovery. The section 270b para. 1 cl. 3 German Insolvency Statute (InsO) confirmation is a prerequisite for a protective umbrella procedure. We are fully authorised to produce this confirmation, in accordance with the IDW standard (Confirmation according to section 270b German Insolvency Statute (InsO) - IDW S9).

Firehouse Subs is a fast-casual restaurant chain with a passion for hearty and flavourful food, heartfelt service and public safety. Here, RLI speaks with company CEO Don Fox to discuss how the company helps a fantastic cause and what the future holds for the company.
Founded by brothers and former firefighters Chris and Robin Sorensen, Firehouse Subs is a brand built on decades of fire and police service, hot subs, steamed and piled high with the best quality ingredients and its commitment to saving lives through the establishment of the non-profit Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
In the past year Firehouse Subs has put forward two limited time product offerings. In the second quarter they included on the menu their take on the classic Reuben Sandwich, a Pastrami Reuben Sandwich, and they are now just finishing up their second speciality of the year, a Pub Steak Sandwich, which is garnished differently and includes crispy fried onions. In the other two quarters of the year, two value-oriented programmes were implemented. In the first quarter there was the 'Medium Daily Sub' promotion, where every franchise operator had a choice of sandwich they included on the menu daily at the special price of $5.55, and then in the third quarter the 'Choice Subs' program was initiated, where a choice of three medium subs were offered to customers at the price of just $4.99.
To maintain its position in the market, the business in the last couple of years has brought in new research and development tools and changed how they conduct market testing. For example, recently they have included more panel work with customers, this has helped the company refine things in its recipes and fine-tune the flavour profiles.
The increase in social media activity in terms of online ordering in recent years has seen major changes for Firehouse Subs and its channels of trade. Just a few years ago the business predominantly ran on customers walking up to the cash register, placing an order and either sitting and eating inside or taking it away.
"Now we are dealing with seven or eight different channels firing at the same time and this creates operational complexity, although all restaurants are dealing with this to some degree. So we are investing more into this medium and we are in the process of re-doing our website and our online ordering experience to make it even better than it currently is," explains Fox. Fox believes it is the philanthropic side to the business that has helped drive customer loyalty over the years, especially within millennials and generation Z's. "This has also been helpful in terms of the retention of our employees and the employees of our franchisees because they know they are working towards something more important than just selling another sandwich," says Fox.

I had a great tour with Nathan on May 12th 2010. The minibus was comfortable, the lunch was very good, the information was great and the sights where incredible.
a picture of what happened during that time.
concerning your specific interests. We highly recommend Nathan tours.


I have also Updated my phone number for those who would like to contact me by phone.
Thank you all for your patience and continued interest in my handy work. Spring is around the corner and God willing and the water don't rise I'll be back at what I Love doing once more.
WELL MY STAY IN UTAH HASN'T BEEN WHAT I'D HOPED IT BE SO WE'RE HEADED BACK TO TEXAS HOPEFULLY THIS COMING MARCH OR SOONER DEPENDING ON FUNDS. WE'LL SETUP SHOP ASAP AND HOPE TO GET BACK TO WHAT I LOVE SOON. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND PRAYERS.


A series of unfolding events in and around Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has the potential to rain trouble down on the immediate area… literally.
Before it started leaking lava last week, the lava lake in the crater atop Kilauea had ballooned like a Jiffy Pop bag due to the tremendous pressure from an expanding pool of magma and accompanying volcanic gas.
Earthquakes triggered the "popping" of this balloon, sending lava slowly cascading down the east side of the mountain and causing numerous pockets of vapor to shoot out of the ground.
With the inner pressure eliminated, the crater rapidly settled back down and dropped a whopping 722 feet.
That may sound like good news, but vulcanologists are giving out warnings of what may be coming next.
Live Science writes that the precipitous drop of the crater has brought it very close to the water table level on the island. If and when the hot magma bed comes into contact with the water, violent eruptions of steam explosions, or phreatic explosions as they are called, will take place.
Such an event is concern enough, but when the bowl-like depression of a crater is filled with rocks and massive boulders, like Kilauea, it means that the steam bursts could act like a cannon and fire off enormous chunks of rock up into the air only to crash down far from its launch site.
In fact, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory stated on May 9 that there are 10-ton boulders strewn about.
"When you remove that support from the conduit and the crater, it causes instability and causes material to fall in," Matt Patrick, a geologist with Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said at the news conference.
Besides the boulder shower, the explosions will also vent out large quantitites of ash, sulfur dioxide and acid rain.
Vulcanologists believe that such an explosion could occur in mid-May.

Solar-cell material can soak up more Sun
Earth 31 July 2008
By Kate Mcalpine
Today's solar cells absorb only visible light, wasting the infrared that makes up half of the Sun's output that reaches Earth. But a new material developed in Spain can absorb infrared too, and should make it possible to hike the power solar cells can produce, say researchers.
Conventional solar cells are based on a semiconductor such as silicon. But their inability to soak up infrared gives them a theoretical absorption limit of just over 40% of solar energy. In practice, they only absorb about 30%.
The new material, though, can harness both visible and infrared photons, so it has a theoretical maximum efficiency of 63%, it creators say, and should give significantly better real-world performance.
Semiconductor solar cells produce electricity when photons carrying just the right energy are absorbed by trapped electrons, boosting them into a higher energy level where they can flow freely.
Cells can't make electricity from photons with much more or less energy than the right amount. Cells are tuned to visible light because visible photons vary little in energy, but reach earth in very large numbers. But in 1997 other Spanish researchers came up with a way to increase the spectrum cells could use.
Their idea was to create a kind of energy "stepping stone". Instead of having to jump to the higher energy level in one go, electrons can absorb a low-energy photon and then wait at an intermediate energy level until another arrives to let it complete the trip.
Now researchers led by Perla Wahnón at the Institute for Solar Energy at the Polytechnic University, and José Conesa at the Institute of Catalysis of the Spanish Higher Scientific Research Council, both in Madrid, used that idea to design their new solar-cell material.
They add titanium and vanadium atoms into a conventional semiconductor, altering its electronic properties to create the intermediate energy level. The Spanish team calculates that its material can theoretically capture 63% of the Sun's rays.
The real-world efficiency of cells based on the new design wouldn't reach 63%, explains Conesa. "But if the [theoretical] limit is higher, you can presume that the real figure that you will be able to reach will also be higher." Early versions of the material match the properties predicted and, although a solar cell hasn't yet been made, the team aims to in the near future.
The first stepping-stone solar cells were made by Wladek Walukiewicz's group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, and can theoretically capture 57% of the sun's radiation.
Conesa says the new material offers greater efficiency because some electrons naturally inhabit the intermediate energy level, while in the Lawrence Berkeley team none do. Starting with some electrons on the stepping stone already make it easier for electrons to flow, says Conesa.
Walukiewicz says the calculated results are interesting, but adds "theoretical predictions are only the beginning of the long process to realisation of practical solar cells." He believes that it may prove challenging to insert enough titanium or vanadium to form a properly functioning intermediate energy level in the semiconductor.

Ashes of Creation News
New "Tank " class and its basic abilities.
Previously, the development team from Intrepid Studios has already managed to present two archetypes of the upcoming Ashes of Creation, which became "Cleric" and "Mage", and now it's time for the community to get acquainted with the" Tank" class and its ability bases.
To demonstrate the combat capabilities of this specialization, the creators, as before, prepared a small gameplay video, where they clearly showed the nine skills available at the tenth level of character development. At the same time, most of them are designed to provide control of events occurring during the battle and additionally have increased threat generation.
So, for example, the list of skills includes a jerk, pulling up the enemy, knocking down and various defensive effects, in other words, everything that allows you to be at the forefront of the attack, protect your allies and stay alive.
The launch of the first Alpha of Ashes of Creation is scheduled for April 6. The testing will last for a month and will end on May 6.

Classical music: Accusations of sexual harassment, discrimination and abuse expand to classical music, and former Metropolitan Opera maestro James Levine has been suspended. On Tuesday night, a percussion concert spotlights UW composer Laura Schwendinger | December 4, 2017
ALERT: At 7:30 p.m. this Tuesday night in Mills Hall, the UW Western Percussion Ensemble, under director Anthony Di Sanza, will perform a FREE concert. It will focus on a new work by the award-winning UW composer Laura Schwendinger along with other modern classics and new works. For more information about the group and the program, go to: http://www.music.wisc.edu/event/western-percussion-ensemble-4/
It started in Hollywood, quickly spread to politics and Washington, D.C., as well as to journalism and to radio and television.
Now accusations of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual discrimination are focusing on classical music.
Perhaps the most visible case so far is one that focuses on James Levine (below), the former longtime artistic director and conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, who just this past weekend conducted a live broadcast performance of the Requiem by Verdi, which was dedicated to the recently deceased Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
Levine is accused of abusing an underage teenager while he was at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, and the Met says it will investigate that allegation.
Through Google, you can find many reports about the situation.
Here is a link to a comprehensive story in The Washington Post:

UPDATE: Amid more allegations of sexual abuse, James Levine, 74, has been suspended by the Metropolitan Opera. Here's a link to a detailed story in The New York Times:
But Levine is not likely to be alone.
According to a new study in the United Kingdom, it now looks that many more individuals and groups will be involved since sexual harassment and sexual discrimination were found to be "rampant."
Here is a link to the story in The Independent:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sexual-harassment-classic-music-incorporate-society-of-musicians-west-end-bbc-radio-3-a8088591.html
What do you think about the many current scandals and wave of allegations as they pertain to classical music or to your own experience in the field of music, either performance or education?
The Ear wants to hear.

The simple answer is, show me a copy of the police report they filed in & around the date of the crime. Otherwise, it is just a money grab in many cases.

For someone not wishing to date Dr. Sheppard, Meredith has a silly way of showing that. She pounces on him with a kiss when they're alone in a hospital elevator. The other interns, meanwhile, are having their own issues when the cocky Alex is added to Dr. Bailey's team. He joins Cristina is delivering the news to patients of their lab results. Neither of these dour doctors love the hugs they receive from joyful families.
Izzie, fortunately, has a chance to practice some "real medicine" as she sews up minor cuts and injuries. She also is bombarded by pleas from a woman who cannot speak English. It turns out this patient's daughter needs medical assistance, but lacks a green card. The good-hearted Izzie treats the bloody girl in the parking lot.
The confident Dr. Burke, meanwhile, receives a jolt when he discovers that he's no longer first in line for Chief Resident. Dr. Webber brought in his former student, Sheppard, to compete for the position. There seems to be another, unknown reason why Sheppard left New York, however.
Meredith isn't aware of any of this yet, though, because she's been busy carrying around a severed penis all day. It belonged to a rapist whose victim bit it off and is now fighting for her life in the hospital. Sheppard impresses Meredith with how sensitive he is to this poor, lonely woman - but it's not enough for another kiss. When Meredith has a chance to ride the elevator with him again, she chooses the stairs instead.

Essential Roles for RNA in Shaping Nuclear Organization
Quinodoz, Sofia A. and Guttman, Mitchell (2022) Essential Roles for RNA in Shaping Nuclear Organization. Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 14 (5). Art. No. a039719. ISSN 1943-0264. doi:10.1101/cshperspect.a039719. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20210921-151614850

It has long been proposed that nuclear RNAs might play an important role in organizing the structure of the nucleus. Initial experiments performed more than 30 years ago found that global disruption of RNA led to visible rearrangements of nuclear organization. Yet, this idea remained controversial for many years, in large part because it was unclear what specific RNAs might be involved, and which specific nuclear structures might be dependent on RNA. Over the past few years, the contributions of RNA to organizing nuclear structures have become clearer with the discovery that many nuclear bodies are enriched for specific noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs); in specific cases, ncRNAs have been shown to be essential for establishment and maintenance of these nuclear structures. More recently, many different ncRNAs have been shown to play critical roles in initiating the three-dimensional (3D) spatial organization of DNA, RNA, and protein molecules in the nucleus. These examples, combined with global imaging and genomic experiments, have begun to paint a picture of a broader role for RNA in nuclear organization and to uncover a unifying mechanism that may explain why RNA is a uniquely suited molecule for this role. In this review, we provide an overview of the history of RNA and nuclear structure and discuss key examples of RNA-mediated bodies, the global roles of ncRNAs in shaping nuclear structure, and emerging insights into mechanisms of RNA-mediated nuclear organization.

Soil profile is the layer of soil on the surface of the Earth. The colour of the soil is dark brown. There are three soil profiles, namely. A, horizon, B horizon and C horizon. The upper layer of soil is called/^ horizon or top soil. A horizon provides nutrition to living organism. The layer below the A horizon, is B horizon. Horizon C is below the horizon B. Some part of minerals from horizon A is transported through horizon B to horizon C. There are various kinds of insects and bacteria that live on the soil and these are essential for plants.
The organic matter (humus) is found in the soil. Soil profile looks different in the different part of the earth.
Soil is made up of rocks and minerals. Weathering is the most common cause for the formation of the soil. The rocks on the surface of the Earth are broken down into small pieces by the process of the weathering. On the basis of the size of the rocks found on the surface of the earth, soil is categorized into three types. These are sand, silt and clay.
Sand is the larger particle found in soil. It is easily available on the surface of the earth. Sandy soil contains very little humus and of low fertility. The size of the particle of the sandy soil is bigger than that of particle size of the other soil.
The size of the particle of the silt soil is smaller than sands soil and bigger than clayey soil. Silt soil can easily transported from one place to another through the movement of the air.
The particle size of the clayey soil is very small. The formation of clayey soil is the gradual chemical weathering of rocks.
Which one of the following is the top most layer of the soil?
Which one of the following types of soil contains least amount of humus?
