The @DroidLanding Twitter account, an official and verified Twitter personality that has been used to unveil new DROID phones, apps and contests in the past, reactivated this afternoon. Well, it at least notified us that reactivation is "fast approaching," which really means that something new is about to arrive with the DROID named attached to it.
Motorola, as you know, is hosting press on Thursday to show off the new Moto X and Moto G, while also giving us official launch details for the Moto 360. None of those products is branded with the name "DROID," though. What we haven't yet heard about is a follow-up or family of follow-up devices to last year's DROID range, which included the DROID MAXX, ULTRA, and Mini. That seems odd, since Verizon is still very invested in the DROID brand, announcing last year that Motorola has the exclusive on the name going forward. Maybe a new line of DROID devices is on the way?
Keep in mind that the last time @DroidLanding activated, all we got was a terrible augmented reality, robot wars type of app that none of us used or cared about for more than a couple of minutes. What I'm trying to say is that this new reactivation could be something or absolutely nothing. The timing, with Moto's event and IFA kicking off, seems to give off a feeling that this is at least something.
For those new, @DroidLanding has used Droid Life to help spread word of contests on a few occasions. One involved a safe, another the R2-D2 Droid, and the most recent featured my handle in the DROID AR app.
We will certainly keep an eye on this latest movement.


If the protection LED is illuminated this indicates the Amplifier is in protection mode due to a fault condition. There are numerous causes for this and it may mean the Amplifier will need to be inspected and diagnosed by a Technician. It may also be a speaker or subwoofer causing the fault condition.
To eliminate this as a possible cause disconnect the speakers or subwoofer from the output of the amplifier . If the Amplifier still goes into protection mode with nothing connected to the out terminals this indicates a fault with the amplifier.


Contained in the volume, originally published in 1962, are the histories of fourteen parishes in south-west Middlesex: Shepperton, Staines, Stanwell, Sunbury, and Teddington in Spelthorne hundred; Heston-and-Isleworth and Twickenham in Isleworth hundred; and Cowley, Cranford, West Drayton, Greenford, Hanwell, Harefield, and Harlington in Elthorne hundred. The whole area is now divided between the London Boroughs of Ealing, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and Richmond upon Thames and the District of Spelthorne. Among its extensive modern suburbs are the vestiges of the earlier agricultural villages, and the best known of the surviving large houses are Syon House, Osterley Park, and Strawberry Hill. The index covers both Volumes Two and Three.


Commemorating Larry Spark's 40th year as a musician, this fine collection features guest performances on some of Larry's most well known songs, and several new ones too.
All the albums I've got by Larry Sparks have been well worth buying, and although I'm not generally a fan of the 'guest collaboration' albums, this is quite a fine effort and well worth picking up.
The album was produced by Don Rigsby, and comes with a 26-page booklet.
 You can hear a version of Sharecropper's Son by The Stanley Brothers with Larry Sparks on guitar, taken from the 1965 University Of Chicago Folk Festival on the 2xCD 'Folk Festival' (Stanleytone STCD-5003) 2001.


What an amazing turnout for such a great cause! We at studio Elevn were so proud to involve all our friends and fellow community members in this opportunity to give back. In collaboration with so many local companies we created a "high-end" raffle that cost $5 a ticket to win really sought after items. From Botox treatments worth over $1100 to professional motorcycle helmets worth over $500, there was something for everyone! The amazing sponsors who devoted time money and product really drove the reputable appeal that brought so many bodies through our event. There was a photo booth where every person had the opportunity to have professional head shots and group photos taken. All the proceeds from every print sold went directly to the organizations of our choice. An amazing PSA was debuted by Ori Media about the different ways you can change the way you think about people experiencing homelessness. The video was well received by all who attended. Multiple locals and local businesses alike found us after watching the PSA and donated large amounts privately. The success of this event was measured by not only the amount of greenbacks raised but also the demeanor and sense of solidarity in the community it created. We are all so fortunate to be involved in such a hands on, active city.
Each. And. Every. One of you.

Salzburg is a green city – which also makes it ideal for a short trip with a dog. The city mountains are perfect for a stroll and, thanks to the fortress, the trick fountains and the open-air museum, there are also plenty of great opportunities to add some culture highlights to your program as well. Needless to say, I'm curious to experience Salzburg for myself. So, my puppy and I throw a few things in a suitcase and set off for a three-day visit to the city of Mozart.
The Mönchsberg is the perfect sightseeing destination to get things started. High above Salzburg, we will be treated to amazing views and a really good first impression of the city. The Mönchsberg elevator carries us up to a scenic terrace in a matter of seconds. And there it lies before us, Salzburg, the magnificent city of churches! Countless towers, poking up from between picture-book houses and the local mountains. Off in the distance, we can even see the first outlying Alpine peaks; a river flowing elegantly right through the middle of this idyllic postcard motif. Bella tugs on her leash, so we move on. Our path leads us through forest and meadows to other lookout points as well as remnants of the old defensive walls. When we're done, it's time to drop straight back down to the streets below, every bit as fast as the original ride up, where our adventure continues – through the countless Baroque squares and medieval lanes of the historic district.
On the next day, Bella and I decide to conquer Hellbrunn. Roughly 5 km from the city center, our path leads us mainly through the refreshingly verdant suburbs of Salzburg. Bella has a lot to sniff at as we saunter down the 400-year-old Hellbrunner Allee, the exclusive domain of pedestrians and cyclists. A true paradise you might not necessarily have expected in a cosmopolitan city like Salzburg. Extending out to the left and right of the majestic trees flanking the path are meadows, fields and stately homes. Bella treats herself to a short, refreshing dip in the Hellbrunner Bach and then, before we know it, we have reached the grounds of the palace itself. A "splash" of fun awaits me there as well: the centuries-old trick fountains. Grottoes, mechanical water features and figures that spit out water are every bit as captivating as they were in the days of the prince-archbishops. Plus, it's truly fascinating to see how all of the movements are powered by water alone, with no electricity required whatsoever. The grounds of Hellbrunn are a true playground for the both of us: including a visit to the zoo, a gigantic area where dogs can run off-leash and a path taking us over a small mountain to the Stone Theater.
We dedicate our third day to the Salzburg Open-Air Museum, which is located just a little outside the heart of the city per se. On its beautifully landscaped grounds at the foot of the Untersberg, visitors are able to explore historical buildings that have been brought here from five different regions of Salzburg province. In the Flachgau section of the park, for example, we see original farmhouses including stables, chapels and even a small grocery store. From Wirtshaus Salettl, we take a walk along forest pathways past shingle-roofed hay sheds, granaries and barns. Each of the buildings is worth entering and exploring. And it isn't just Bella' nose that is raised slightly, picking up the intriguing scents in the air. Even my amateurish nose is beguiled by the smells of those old wooden buildings! In the middle of the museum grounds, we happen upon a stream. Bella is thrilled to splish-splash around in the cool, wet water, while I marvel at the mill standing right next to it. And as if all that weren't bucolic enough for us, we also come across – this time, in the Pinzgau – an area of alpine pastures, including a rustic hut that entices us to sit down and enjoy hearty regional snacks served to us on what looks like a kitchen cutting board. In conclusion, we hop aboard the museum train for a leisurely tour of the park, before beginning our stroll back to Salzburg itself.

Tanglewood: Fusion of dance and live music
In the best of all possible worlds, dance and live music are inseparable companions, an ideal that has become a tradition at Tanglewood, where every summer about this time the Mark Morris Dance Group fuses its considerable talents with those of the newly-arrived fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center. And, as a bonus on Tuesday evening (and repeated Wednesday) in Seiji Ozawa Hall, the Morris dancers also enjoyed the good company of an old friend, Yo-Yo Ma. The genial and gifted cellist was on hand for an encore performance of Morris' popular "Falling Down Stairs," an original collaboration between Ma and Morris explored here in 2003, the first year the festival welcomed the choreographer.


Fight for Sight, the UK's leading eye research charity, has teamed up with two other charities to fund new research into thyroid eye disease (TED), a condition affecting tens of thousands of people in the UK (see below for reference). TED is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder in which parts of the eye and eye socket become inflamed. TED causes dry, bulging eyes, swollen eyelids and double or blurred vision.
Fight for Sight and Thyroid Eye Disease Charitable Trust are jointly funding a project at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Researchers, led by Miss Swan Kang, will perform three pilot studies of an imaging technique to study blood vessels on the white of the eye in patients who have TED. These studies will investigate the diagnosis and monitoring potential of the technique. The detailed measurements obtained during the studies will then be used to help find novel biomarkers for future research. The hope is that this project will enable early detection of TED and identification of those who are at risk of developing vision loss.
Fight for Sight has also partnered with British Thyroid Foundation to fund work which could identify novel potential prognosis and treatment targets. Dr Maryse Bailly from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology aims to identify how TED progresses, by characterising one major aspect of the disease. She aims to understand why and how local cells called fibroblasts turn into fat cells, which cause most of the swelling in TED. Researchers have grown patient cells in soft gels made of collagen which, under certain conditions, mirror what happens in TED.
Fight for Sight is funding research to stop sight loss caused by both common and rare eye diseases and conditions. These include age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, inherited eye diseases and the causes of childhood sight loss.
• the design of a new test that can detect the early stages of sight loss in age-related macular degeneration.

Superintendent follows "support group" gaffe with note to families
By Randall Booker, PUSD Superintendent | April 23, 2021
This message was sent to PUSD families on Friday evening:
Dear Piedmont Students, Staff, Parents, and Community,
We are living in an extraordinary time that holds the promise of breaking down barriers and creating, finally, a world that is safe and just for people of all races and backgrounds. Our students, in many ways, are role models for this work. They have a keen awareness of the racial injustices that have permeated our society and are not afraid to call out sentiments, statements, or actions from adults that violate their sense of justice.
We saw an example of that this week in our community when students reacted to an email from district staff that invited them to participate in restorative circles by affinity groups to process reactions to the Derek Chauvin verdict. The District's intent was to give our BIPOC students a safe space to talk with others from similar racial backgrounds and to provide White students with an opportunity to talk about how to be an ally.
A poor choice of words in the subject line of the invitation to White students led to the perception that White students needed the same kind of "support" as our BIPOC students. Students of all racial backgrounds rightfully pushed back on that idea. We agree, and we want to affirm in the strongest terms that our commitment is to give all students a place to express their feelings and to learn how to engage in important issues.
Everyone in our community has their own unique role and responsibility in the work of anti-racism; affinity groups advance equity by meeting the particular needs of each group in doing the work of eliminating systemic injustice. The intent of a circle for White allies is to discuss how to be a better ally in the pursuit of racial justice. Additionally, we are planning to offer circles open to all in order to give students of different backgrounds a chance to process together.
The Piedmont School Board made a strong commitment to racial justice in a resolution and board policy passed last year. I encourage you to take time to read the resolution and policy to learn about the commitment the Board has made as it guides our work with students and staff.
We recognize that the journey of anti-racism is hard, and we will keep educating ourselves and learning from each other as we travel. This week the students reminded us that words matter. Even when the intention is honorable and right, we need to communicate with sensitivity and care.
We thank all who communicated with us on this matter. Your feedback made a big difference and helped us clarify how we will communicate moving forward.
Randall Booker, Superintendent
One thought on "Superintendent follows "support group" gaffe with note to families"
diane prioleau on April 28, 2021 at 2:13 pm said:
Wouldn't it be better to treat all as individuals and not divide on basis of skin color? The critical race theory teaches to separate people into pods of victims and the aggressors . And it is just a theory. The students are in need of alternate programs so they may make informed judgements as to their own actions. The goal should be to unite

Although it can't compete with TV, radio and online for immediacy and impact, the UK press still wields enormous power and influence, bolstered by a new generation of fast-moving online news sites that are now available on any number of platforms, from your smartphone to your tablet. The days when newspapers 'went to bed' at 9pm are over: all the national and regional papers have websites that are updated every 2-3 minutes, around the clock – and they're much more widely read than newsprint. The Guardian, for example, sells about 300,000 copies per day. The paper's website – guardian.co.uk – has nearly three million visitors every day.
In the UK, newspapers have more scope than broadcasters to be rude, offensive, disrespectful and controversial. They have columnists who are troublemakers, iconoclasts and gossip-mongers. They don't care who they upset. Unlike broadcasters, they're able to take careless quotes 'out of context' and build their headlines and stories around them. This is why there can be more pot-holes to negotiate during a press interview than on TV or radio, because newspaper reporters have total control over how they 'angle' the story, which quotes they use and which they ignore. The broadcasting studio might be a daunting place, but at least you're never in danger of having words put into your mouth.
With a series of practical interviews simulating realistic scenarios tailored to suit each client's speciality, the course demonstrates how to leave as little as possible to chance when you face the press: how to deal with hostile reporters and turn difficult questions to your advantage; how to organise your messages into memorable quotes and give yourself a fighting chance of seeing them in print precisely as you uttered them; and how to negotiate the many traps press reporters employ, exploding such media myths as 'speaking off the record' (there's no such thing!)
The course also covers press conferences – how to arrange them effectively – and the crucial distinction between the general press (anything from The Times to the local weekly) and the trade press, specialising in the client's particular field. Trade publications have considerably smaller circulations than national papers, but they're avidly read by your peers and competitors, and their reporters invariably have a keener understanding of your 'story'.
As in the broadcasting course, each interview is analysed and assessed afterwards, with observations welcomed from each member of the group.
At the end of the session, participants are provided with detailed tip-sheets, reminding them of the dos and don'ts of engaging with the press: a useful aid to refresh the memory immediately ahead of an important interview on which your organisation's fortunes might depend.

2 more presidential candidates from Basil apart from Gota Featured
Two former MPs and another female contender had made their deposits to the Election Commission yesterday (19).
A former JVP-MP S. Amarasinghe, former MP of the Democratic Party Jayantha Ketagoda and Sri Lanka Socialist Party candidate Ajantha Perera made their deposits to the Election Commission yesterday.
The elections Commission announced that so far 17 candidates from political parties and independent candidates had notified the Election Commission of their desire to contest, prior to the announcement of the presidential election date.
An Election Commission officer said that they would be making their deposits within the next few days.
He noted that it is expected that around 20 candidates would be contesting this upcoming presidential election.
There are around 70 accepted political parties but due to various errors and complications, seven (07) of these parties cannot contest an election, this official further added.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Mirror learns that two of the candidates who had made their deposits yesterday (19) are alternative candidates fielded by SLPP Founder Basil Rajapaksa.

James Hatley Blaspheming Humans: Levinasian Politics and The Cove
The Cove, a recent documentary on the harvesting and slaughter of dolphins in Taiji Japan, envisions this practice as a mode of blasphemy. While the reintroduction of a notion of blasphemy into the search for inter-species justice can illuminate the intensity of the evil one witnesses, one must be wary of this notion's ethical, political and social implications. In place of a politics of outrage that is deployed by the film, an argument is made for a politics of expiation. In a politics of expiation one begins one's conversation with the alleged wrongdoer/blasphemer in penitential rather than accusatory witness.
Shane D. Courtland Hobbesian Justification for Animal Rights
Hobbes's political and ethical theories are rarely viewed as places by which those who protect the weak seek refuge. It would seem odd, then, to suggest that such a theory might be able to protect the weakest among us—non-human animals. In this paper, however, I will defend the possibility of a Hobbesian justification for animal rights. The Hobbesian response to the problem of compliance allows contractarianism to extend (at least some) normative protection to animals. Such protection, as I will argue, has a similar justificational foundation as the protection we offer other humans.
Christiane Bailey Kinds of Life: On the Phenomenological Basis of the Distinction between "Higher" and "Lower" Animals
Drawing upon Husserl and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological constitution of the Other through Einfühlung, I argue that the hierarchical distinction between higher and lower animals—which has been dismissed by Heidegger for being anthropocentric—must not be conceived as an objective distinction between "primitive" animals and "more evolved" ones, but rather corresponds to a phenomenological distinction between familiar and unfamiliar animals.
Luke Roelofs There is No Biotic Community
It has been suggested that the biosphere and its component ecological systems be thought of as "communities"; this is often invoked as a reason to attribute it moral significance. I first disambiguate this claim, distinguishing the purely moral, social-factual, and biological-factual senses of this term, as well as distinguishing primary from derived meanings, drawing on material from philosophy, sociology, psychology, and ecology. I then argue that the ethically important sense of the term is one that does not apply to ecological systems, though it could in the future, and that it is misleading to base ethical arguments on claims about "biotic communities."
Pierluigi Barrotta James Lovelock, Gaia Theory, and the Rejection of Fact/Value Dualism
In this paper the relationship between Gaia theory and fact/value dualism must be understood from two angles: I shall use Gaia as a case study to show the philosophical limits of dualism, and I shall also use the discussion of fact/value dualism to clarify the contents of Gaia theory. My basic thesis is that Lovelock is right when rejecting the suggestion that he should clear his theory of evaluative considerations. He is right because in his theory facts and moral values are strictly interwoven and therefore cannot be conceptually separated. I shall show this point by arguing that if we dropped the evaluative components from Gaia theory we would not have the same theory cleared of those evaluative components. Instead we would have a theory with a different empirical meaning and different explanatory characteristics.
Philip Rose Spatio-Temporal Facticity and the Dissymmetry of Nature: A Peircean-Based Defense of Some Essential Distinctions of Nature
This is an attempt to work the ground in the philosophy of nature by trying to articulate in a clear and rigorous philosophical sense what Nature is. This will involve pressing the question of nature to the point of essential distinctions in the hope of disclosing conditions that mark Nature as a distinct conception and general mode of being. Drawing and building upon Peirce's account of "facts," time and space, and the "dissymmetry" of nature, I will suggest some ways in which the essential distinctness of Nature can be framed. I will end by offering a parting glance at some of the implications that might follow from the distinctions constructed.
Mark Coeckelbergh Environmental Virtue: Motivation, Skill, and (In)formation Technology
Environmental virtue ethics faces the problem of motivation: there is a gap between knowledge and action. This paper first analyzes the roots of this problem and discusses possible solutions that require the use of imagination and information technology. Then it reformulates the problem of motivation and the question concerning environmental virtue by using the notion of skill. It sketches the contours of a non-Romantic and non-Stoic virtue ethics that attempts to move beyond dualist assumptions concerning the relations between humans, nature, and technology. In this way, the paper shows how environmental philosophy can benefit from a dialogue with philosophy of technology.
Andrew Gibson Ideas and Practices in the Critique of Consumerism
Drawing on the works of philosophers Charles Taylor and Joseph Heath, this paper argues that the critique of consumerism is too often separated into an emphasis on "ideas" or "practices." Taylor's critique is set against the backdrop of his interpretation of the ideas and values that are constitutive of Western selfhood. To engage in excessive consumption, on this view, is to betray the ideals underlying one's cultural identity. Heath, by contrast, argues that critics of consumerism must avoid this kind of ideas-based social criticism because it is not only unproductive, but also illiberal and elitist. The phenomenon of consumerism must be approached, rather, by way of an institutional critique that treats excessive consumption as a collective action problem arising within the context of the market economy. The paper argues that while Heath makes an invaluable contribution to the critique of consumerism, his misunderstanding of the importance of ideas is such that his critique ultimately lacks vigor and persuasiveness.

Calls to end Game of Thrones filming after dragons torch village
There have been demands for the Stormont administration to ban the production of Game of Thrones here after the show's dragons accidentally burned much of a County Down village.
The Ulster Fry understands that the dragons escaped from their enclosure at the film set and caused massive disruption in the local area before setting fire to the Corbet, a small hamlet outside Banbridge.
The incident occurred at 3am this morning, when most residents were in bed. "I was sound asleep," says local farmer Josiah Slurry, "Then I hear all this loud screeching and the animals going buck mental in the barn. I pulled on my trousers and rushed outside, it was chaos out there, even one of the cows shat itself."
Mr Slurry's farm was severely damaged in the blaze, and he was in doubt who was to blame. "It was them dragons," he told us, "they're always wrecking round here, the film boys just can't seem to keep them in."
The show's producers have admitted that they've been having 'a few issues with the cast.' "We work long days," says director Chuck Wankstein, "and at the end of a hard filming session everyone just wants to blow off steam, for the dragons that involves blowing off fire as well."
A spokes-dragon from the animal enclosure told us that he and his colleagues were 'deeply sorry' about the incident. "We'd been on the lash and as usual Geoff had one too many and yacked his hoop on the way home. Unfortunately for dragons any boking is accompanied by a massive blast of fiery breath, and the rest is history."
We contacted the PSNI in Banbridge and asked them if they would like to comment, but they told us to "piss away aff" or they'd do us for wasting police time.

Council and Commission statement, Tuesday
On a Greens/EFA initiative, the European Parliament heard Council and Commission statements in response to Ryanair's recent cancellation of thousands of flights. The scandal raises serious questions about Ryanair's practices and their impact on both their employees and customers.
Greens/EFA MEPs Jakop Dalunde and Michael Cramer as well as Chair of the Committee on Transport and Tourism, Karima Delli, called on the EU Commission to remind Ryanair of its responsibility to play by the rules of European air passenger rights law and declared that sanctions should also be considered. For the Greens/EFA, "this whole episode highlights the drawbacks of the low-cost airlines. It is high time the EU stopped encouraging the low-cost airline model, which damages the planet, results in social dumping and jeopardises fair competition in transport. There should be put an end to subsidies for these practices."

Commission statement and debate on Tuesday, vote on Wednesday
The Greens/EFA co-presidents, alongside their counterparts from ALDE, EPP, S&D and GUE/NGL, co-signed a draft motion for a resolution on the state of play of negotiations with the United Kingdom. Sufficient progress has not yet been made on citizens' rights, Ireland and Northern Ireland, and the settlement of the UK's financial obligations. Unless there is major breakthrough in all three areas, the Council should postpone its assessment on whether sufficient progress has been made.
Following the debate, Greens/EFA co-president Philippe Lamberts commented: "While we accept the result of the referendum, this decision will produce no winners : neither the UK nor the EU-27. If we want to limit the inevitable damage that will be caused by this lose-lose situation, we should waste no more time and negotiate in good faith first the withdrawal agreement, then the outline of our future relationship and the transition that will bridge to it. No deal by March 2019 would be the worst deal – for everyone and first, for our respective citizens."

Dumping of exports from third countries: social and environmental standards to be finally taken into account
Trilogue
Following lengthy trilogues on a new European policy on the dumping of exports from third countries such as China, a new approach has been agreed that for the first time includes social and environmental standards as a basis to determine the existence of significant distortions.
For the Greens/EFA trade spokesperson, Yannick Jadot, the European Union is taking a step in the right direction by starting to combat social and environmental dumping from third countries. Commenting about the outcome of the discussions, he said : "It is a particular success for the Greens that the core standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the standards of multilateral environmental agreements will now become the criteria for measuring market distortions. If these standards are not respected then exporters are able to create unfair advantages, which must be limited.This will be made possible by the new procedure, which the Commission and the Council were prepared to put their weight behind. The new methodology is not protectionist and does not involve any discrimination against a third country. At the same time, it represents a break with the usual laissez-faire attitude, which neglects the risks of dumping on European industrial enterprises and industrial work places. Globalisation does not grant countries the freedom to undermine social and ecological standards for one-sided economic advantage."

Commission statement, Wednesday
The Greens/EFA Group called for a debate on the situation in Catalonia after the violence of the Spanish police in Catalonia last Sunday. Greens/EFA Co-President Ska Keller strongly condemned the use of police force and urged the EU Commission to mediate in the conflict. For her, "the EU Commission could be an honest broker accepted by the Spanish and the Catalan governments to bridge their differences and to find a common solution. It is the Commission's duty as the guardian of the treaties to get involved and offer help in solving the conflict. While no two problems are the same, we must be careful to avoid any impression of double standards in the European Union". Philippe Lamberts, Greens/EFA Co-President, added: "What is happening in Catalonia now is not only a Spanish issue: it goes to the core of the European Union. Our motto is unity in diversity, a diversity we choose to see as an asset rather than as a weakness. If it is an internal matter, it is also one that concerns the European Union."

2017 UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn (COP23)
Debate Tuesday, vote on Wednesday
This resolution sets out the European Parliament's position for the next Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC, COP23, taking place 6-17 November 2017 in Bonn under the Presidency of Fiji. The draft resolution adopted by the Environment Committee recognises that global carbon emissions need to be phased out by 2050 and that this means that most sectors in the EU need to achieve zero emissions considerably earlier.
In its resolution which was adopted by a huge majority, the European Parliament recognises current INDCs fail to meet Paris Agreement commitments and calls for EU 2030 climate target to be reviewed in the context of 2018 UNFCCC facilitative dialogue before Paris Agreement starts. It also calls for UNFCCC process to be protected from vested interests and continues to advocate EU contributing its fair share of climate finance, including through the use of revenues from market based instruments, e.g. on aviation and shipping for this purpose.

Endocrine Disrupters: Parliament shows European Commission the red card
Plenary vote on Wednesday
The European Parliament voted in favour of an objection to the EU Commission's criteria seeking to introduce a derogation from an existing ban of certain hormone disrupting chemicals (endocrine disrupters). The objection passed with a majority of 389 votes, 13 votes above the threshold of 376 for an absolute majority. The vote came after the Parliament's Environment Committee backed an objection co-signed by Greens/EFA MEP Bas Eickhout. In its proposal, the EU Commission was going well beyond its mandate because it not only sets out criteria, but also attempts to halt a ban on endocrine disrupters in the environmental sector. The European Parliament has managed to stop the thoroughly undemocratic attempt by the EU Commission to change the rules on certain endocrine disruptors through the back door. The Commission now needs to revise its proposal and it can no longer propose the unlawful derogation to an existing ban in the basic act via comitology. "The vote we have won today is a victory for democracy, the environment and for citizens", said Bas Eickhout.

European Public Prosecutor's Office - Fight against (VAT) fraud
Debate Wednesday, Vote Thursday
The European Parliament voted with a large majority in favour of establishing a European Public Prosecutor's Office. The new EU public prosecutor will be an independent body with the power to investigate and prosecute fraud in the EU, particularly VAT fraud. The EU Commission estimates that the EU loses up to 50 billion euros each year to VAT fraud. Those billions could be invested in public services, environmental protection, energy transition and vital infrastructure. The European Public Prosecutor's Office is an example of where European collaboration is both necessary and can reap major rewards for the public.
The EPPO has the potential to become a major European project and the doors are open to all EU countries to engage with it. The EU Commission must focus on ensuring EU-wide investigations with strong safeguards for suspects, and submit a proposal for high standards for pre-trial custody across the EU. "Macron and Juncker are both looking ahead and have shown their support for broadening the remit of the EPPO to include the fight against terrorism and organised crime. The governments of the Member States should also throw their weight behind such proposals", said Greens/EFA spokesperson on civil liberties, justice and home affairs, Jan Philipp Albrecht, after the vote.

Vote Wednesday
The European Parliament voted with a large majority to adopt objections on placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybeans DAS-44406-6 and FG72 x A5547-127. Greens/EFA were at the forefront of the objections, with the resolutions adopted in September in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.
Since the beginning of 2014, the Parliament has adopted 16 objections to GMO authorisations, of which 11 for food and feed imports.
In February 2017, the Commission presented a new proposal aiming at amending the rules under which implementing acts can be adopted. In its explanatory memorandum, it lays out that the current procedure is unsatisfactory, and that, especially in the fields of GMOs (and, partly, for pesticides), authorisation decisions are adopted by the Commission without the support of a qualified majority of Member States.
This is indeed sadly the case, and the fact that the Commission continues to authorise GMOs without the support of a qualified majority of Member States, as well as the Parliament systematically voting against, highlights the complete lack of democratic legitimacy of this process.

Prisons systems and conditions
Debate and vote Thursday
MEPs adopted the report on prisons systems and conditions with a huge majority. This report addresses the situation in European prisons, which remains problematic, especially in certain Member States, such as Hungary, Belgium, Greece, Spain, France, Portugal and Italy.
The reports calls on Member States need to improve conditions of detention, limit overcrowding, facilitate the right of prisoners to vote and protect the rights of minors, elderly and disabled prisoners.
Our Group voted in favour of this initiative report which includes many key points of our Green vision of a more progressive prison system in Europe.

Greens/EFA nominee for the Sakharov Prize visits European Parliament
Aura Lolita Chavez Ixcaquic, known as Lolita, is a Maya K'iche human rights defender from Guatemala. Lolita is a leader of the Council of K'iche' Peoples in Defence of Life, Mother Nature, Earth and Territory (CPK), an organization that brings together 87 indigenous communities who work to protect their lands and its resources, against the exploitation by large-scale mining and hydroelectric projects, including by European companies. These fights have pitted indigenous communities and their defenders, like Lolita, up against powerful interests. Having received death threats, Lolita had to flee her country this summer. According to Global Witness in 2016 on average four environmental human rights defenders were murdered each week. Last year, almost 40% of murdered environmental human rights defenders belonged to indigenous peoples.
The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought was set up in 1988 and is awarded each year by the European Parliament. It is named after Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov. The prize is awarded for a particular achievement in one of the following fields: defence of human rights and fundamental freedoms, particularly the right to free expression; safeguarding the rights of minorities; respect for international law; development of democracy and implementation of the rule of law
Members of the Foreign Affairs and Development Committees will vote on 10 October. The top 3 candidates will be shortlisted and the Conference of Presidents of the political groups will decide on one laureate on 26 October. The award ceremony takes place during the December plenary session.

Anthea Tucker
Anthea Tucker has always had a fascination with fabric – especially how it can be "cut to fit the human body". Anthea was taught to sew by her grandmother at the age of six, and on leaving high school she polished up her technical skills at the New Zealand Institute of Fashion Technology.
As part of the Snake Pit/Luck House artist collective, Anthea presented in group fashion shows with Nymphets and 6x4, and has since held solo shows under her own eponymous label. She is also a founding member of art/design magazine Project Y.
There is an emphasis on the handmade in Anthea's designs. Most of the pieces in her collections have been one-offs, including delicate hand- knits, where she focuses on quality over quantity. The Anthea aesthetic aspires to be ageless and non-gendered, seeking to break the societal conventions that place people into gender-specific boxes.

Her most recent collection, Ant'HOMME II (a follow-on from last year's Ant'HOMME) consists of a range of structural contrasts in shades of grey; androgynous garments in heavy woollen fabrics with hints of soft chiffon and mohair. The colour palette goes beyond visual appeal. Used as a metaphor, grey is "a reference to society – how nothing is black or white".
