VitaSol is a liquid organic soil-improver based on potassium (6%).
Its organic origin facilitates the absorption of VitaSol by the crop.
Furthermore, it is extremely suitable as a converter of available nutrients. Especially in periods of high production and rapid growth (in case of artificially lighted crops) or in case of a stagnation in growth caused by a deficiency of nutrients, the use of VitaSol has proved to be very effectively. This product is absorbed by both roots and leaves, which practically rules out burning of the plant. VitaSol mixes easily with water and can be added to the plant by means of a dripping system, but then rinsing is recommended. A result of its organic basis, VitaSol establishes a stable and constant growth, a strong root-hair development, a healthy color and a high natural resistance to diseases. VitaSol contains lime, potassium, and a great number of trace elements. This product gives an extra sweet taste to fruits.
During the entire cultivation: 2,5-5 ml. per 10 litres.
As a sweetener: in the final weeks of the blooming period: 5-15 ml. per 10 litres.


The problem of multispecies fisheries, in which more productive and less productive species are caught together, is approached differently in the multispecies groundfish trawl fisheries of the U.S. West Coast and British Columbia (B.C.). In 1997 their management systems diverged: the former continued using trip limits, but the latter turned to individual transferable quotas (ITQs) combined with full observer coverage and the deduction of marketable discard mortality from quotas. U.S. requirements to rebuild overfished West Coast species have led to reduced trip limits, restrictions on fishing gear, and large area closures, which have decreased catches of species that are not overfished, increased discards of marketable fish, and decreased per-vessel groundfish income to US$220,000. In B.C., total catches have remained stable while individual incentives to retain marketable catches and to improve economic efficiency resulted in low marketable discard fractions, increased ex-vessel prices, and higher per-vessel revenue (US$420,000–US$500,000). If the B.C. system were implemented in the West Coast fishery, total revenue would probably improve through increased use of species that are not overfished, lower marketable discard fractions, and higher ex-vessel prices. Revenue increases may be hampered by restrictions imposed by the overfished species, but would probably exceed the additional observer costs.

Ripple Entering the Market via American Express and LianLian Group?
Home Industry Ripple Entering the Market via American Express and LianLian Group?
Adoption is something that can revitalize the price of cryptocurrencies. Over the past months, Ripple has been partnering with different companies. Ripple has been able to momentarily take the second spot from Ethereum on different occasions already. And one of the reasons is that Ripple's xRapid. This product is said to help solve cross-border transactions.
It's no secret that Ripple worked with different banks and even companies hoping to make cross-border transactions simpler and easier.
But it is possible that Ripple will also make its way towards China. It's no secret that China has an anti-crypto stance. It has banned crypto exchanges and even prohibited hotels and malls from hosting crypto-related activities. So how can Ripple potentially enter the Chinese market?
American Express has announced that it is going to enter the Chinese Market. What made them interested? The Chinese market is predicted that it could potentially be the biggest card payments market by next year.
American Express as partnered with LianLian Group. It is going to be the first venture to process payments in the country aside from the state-controlled UnionPay network. It is also worth mentioning that Ripple has partnered with LianLian Group and American Express and are part of RippleNet. The vision of American Express is to help both small and medium-sized businesses when it comes to moving money. LianLianPay became interested in partnering with Ripple because of the 150 million registered customers in their platform.
Both members, according to Dr. T who is a crypto influencer, have needs for cross-border payments. It is possible to open up the full-fledged use of RippleNet. There is a feature known as multihop. According to Craig DeWitt who is the Director of Product at Ripple: "Multi-hop gives Ripple members the ability to transact with banks or payment providers or digital wallets that they don't have a direct relationship with. That's important because in today's world you need a bunch of bilateral relationships clunkily put together in a chain in order to move money. Multi-hop makes that thing of the past".
Ruling Out The Possibility of xRapid?
Considering the strict rules and regulations in China when it comes to cryptocurrencies, could this mean that the adoption of xRapid is not happening soon? However, China is quite open-minded when it comes to the use of blockchain and DLT. Ripple utilizes this via their xCurrent and xVia products.
Ripple has been looking to solve cross-border transactions as it partnered with different banks and institutions. The xRapid is just one of its products hoping to "bridge" fiat and cryptocurrencies. Ripple has already partnered with Western Union and Ripple.
It has also recently announced that it is looking to dive into the Philippine market in order to cater to the overseas workers sending money to their loved ones.
There have been a great number of developments on the end of Ripple. That is despite the fact that Ripple has experienced a number of lawsuits claiming that XRP is a security. Getting adopted by businesses and banks is a big deal. Could this be the future of Ripple?

There's good news for everyone that is looking forward to the legendary spring season of the Superpark on the Dachstein already. The most eastern glacierpark of the alps opens it's gates three weeks earlier than usually this spring – the Opening is sheduled for the 10th of May! The Dachstein got so much snow during this winter, that even some of the liftposts on Hunerkogel disappeared under a huge layer of fresh for some time in december. The parkbuilding works for the upcoming spring season started this Monday, with the unbelieveable amount of 6,5 meters of snow to work with. Together with the fact that the Opening will take place 3 weeks earlier this season, this stands for a better Dachstein spring than ever! The QParks Crew with park head-designer Bernd Mandlberger is well known for the Dachstein park all over europe. This year the setup will be taken to the next level with cool new features including new rails and a wallride for the pro-park, a brandnew medium triple kicker line and an enlarged beginnerpark with new boxes and better maintainance. Be there, or be square!

Die beiden Dampflokomotiven der Klasse KM der Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino (FCAF) sind Garratt-Lokomotiven für 500-mm-Schmalspur. Bei den 1994 und 2006 gebauten Lokomotiven handelt es sich um Neukonstruktionen und nicht um Nachbauten älterer Lokomotiven.

Geschichte

Die 1994 gebaute Lokomotive gilt als die erste vollständig in Argentinien gebaute Dampflokomotive überhaupt und ist – abgesehen von Parkbahn- und Miniaturlokomotiven – die erste neu gebaute Garratt seit den 1968 gebauten letzten Exemplaren der südafrikanischen Klasse NGG 16.

Die erste der beiden Lokomotiven war ursprünglich eine verkleinerte Ausführung der für 610 mm Spurweite gebauten tasmanischen Klasse K, der ersten Garratt überhaupt; allerdings war das Gewicht mit etwa 9 t (verglichen mit ca. 33 t bei der Klasse K) deutlich geringer. Wie bei der Klasse K sind die Zylinder auf der Innenseite der Triebdrehgestelle angeordnet – ein für Garratts sehr ungewöhnliches Konstruktionsdetail, das seit der Klasse K nicht wiederholt worden war. Allerdings wurde die Verbundwirkung der Klasse K nicht übernommen, so dass alle vier Zylinder die gleiche Größe haben.

Die Lokomotive weist moderne Konstruktionsmerkmale auf, wie Rollenlager an den Achsen, geschweißte Zylinder und Kessel sowie Ölfeuerung.

2001 wurde sie einem größeren Umbau unterzogen, mit dem Ziel, die Leistungsfähigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit zu verbessern. Dieser Umbau fand unter der Leitung von Livio Dante Porta statt. Zu den vielen Veränderungen gehörten strömungstechnisch optimierte Dampfrohre mit größeren Querschnitten, eine verbesserte Isolierung sowie eine Lempor-Saugzuganlage.

Äußerlich fallen vor allem das aus Komfortgründen erhöhte Führerhaus sowie der um 300 mm höher gelegte Kessel auf. Außerdem wurden die der Klasse K entlehnten eckigen Wassertanks durch gerundete und im Volumen vergrößerte Tanks ersetzt. Eine Ähnlichkeit zur tasmanischen Klasse K ist daher, abgesehen von der ungewöhnlichen Zylinderanordnung, kaum noch gegeben.

Das Leistungsvermögen der Lokomotive wurde durch den Umbau deutlich gesteigert; die Zahl der von der Lokomotive bewältigten Waggons hat sich mehr als verdoppelt. Die Ursprünglich Nora genannte Lokomotive erhielt den neuen Namen Ing. L.D. Porta, und als neue Klassenbezeichnung wurde KM gewählt.

Das Bild zeigt die Maschine im Jahr 2005 in der roten Lackierung, die sie beim Umbau erhalten hat. Wenig später wurde sie dunkelblau lackiert. Auch die noch provisorisch verlegten Dampfrohre neben dem Stehkessel wurden inzwischen verändert.

Die zweite Lokomotive
2006 baute Phil Girdlestone in Südafrika eine zweite Garratt für die FCAF. Sie entstand teilweise aus Komponenten für ein schon beim Bau der ersten Lokomotive geplantes zweites Exemplar. Neu ist der leistungsfähigere Kessel, der neben einem Belpaire-Stehkessel jetzt auch einen Überhitzer enthält. Die Wassertanks haben ein größeres Volumen als bei der Nr. 2, außerdem befindet sich ein dritter Wassertank unter dem Kessel, um das Reibungsgewicht der größeren Leistung anzupassen.

Die neue Lokomotive erhielt die Bahnnummer 5 und den Namen Ing. H.R. Zubieta. Sie ist etwas schwerer und wegen der verlängerten Rauchkammer, die durch den Überhitzer bedingt ist, auch etwas länger als Lok Nr. 2, und die Wassertanks haben eine andere Form.

Es ist geplant, Lok Nr. 2 ebenfalls auf einen Belpaire-Heißdampfkessel umzubauen; ein vorhandener Ersatzkessel wird dafür entsprechend umgebaut. Beide Lokomotiven werden dann weitgehend baugleich sein.

Here's how to protect your skin—and baby—while enjoying your day in the sun.
It's super-important to wear sun protection while you're pregnant. Thanks to the hormonal rage going on inside your body right now (it is a rage, isn't it?), the pigment-producing skin cells (melanocytes) react more strongly to the sunlight and cause chloasma (aka "the mask of pregnancy"), dark brown splotches on your skin—and you want to look all glowy, not splotchy! So while you're pregnant, never leave the house without wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
But not all sunscreens are created equal. Many chemical sunscreens can enter the bloodstream and could affect baby (exactly how is unknown, but many of them may affect estrogen levels), so avoid using anything with ingredients like oxybenzone, homosalate, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, octocrylene and para-aminobenzoic acid. These chemicals can also irritate your sensitive skin and can cause allergic reactions.
Instead, use physical or mineral blocks, which are safer options. These are the ones made with either titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Just be wary of products that say they have micronized or nano-sized particles of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are smaller than a lot of the chemical molecules and might be easily absorbed into the body. They're very new to the market, and there's not enough research out there yet to really prove they're safe to use during pregnancy.
Is spray-tan safe during pregnancy?

Hong Kongers grieve for their home, on an island of despair
November 24, 2019 — 4.00am
"Go back to Satan," screamed the cleaner, a man in his 60s wearing rubber gloves. He was carrying two sacks nowhere near large enough to neatly carry away the mounting rubble of a city in political and physical crisis.
Students from Hong Kong University stared silently as he strode down Pok Fu Lam Road, barricaded with bricks since a police raid on a student dormitory.
Another cleaner, 70 years old, had earlier in November become the first fatality directly attributable to the five months of increasingly violent protests. He was caught in the crossfire as Beijing supporters and democracy activists hurled bricks at one another.
For many in this city of 7 million, emotions are at breaking point as life is disrupted by now daily clashes between riot police and protesters.
Hope has turned to despair for many of Hong Kong's young protesters as the clashes become more aggressive. Credit:Getty Images
Weaponry has graduated from tear gas versus laser pointers to lethal live ammunition and Molotov cocktails. More than 4000 people have been arrested, including at least 165 children under the age of 16, the youngest aged 12.
School classes have been cancelled for days at a time, highways closed and train services curtailed.
The health department has advised that fruit purchased from outdoor markets should be washed in soapy water or discarded to avoid ingestion of tear gas.
The government has accused the protesters of being "close to terrorism" after university students turned to making petrol bombs on campus to keep police out.
Most universities cancelled classes for the rest of the year as the risk of confrontations became too great. A police threat on Sunday to use live fire to disperse university students barricaded inside Polytechnic University – its brick facade now charred after fireballs erupted during a police charge – only reinforced public distrust of police.
On Chatham Road South, 39-year-old May gestured at a pile of smashed bricks that can puncture the tyres of police water cannon vehicles – or those of any other motorist who drives along the next day. The street looked like a war zone.
"We don't want Hong Kong to be like this," she said.
She was among a dozen volunteers picking up thousands of loose bricks along the Kowloon road on Wednesday. In a violent clash the night before, protesters with petrol bombs had attempted to reach the besieged Polytechnic University and police held them back with stun grenades and rubber bullets.
May wore a mask to protect her against the choking tear gas residue stirred up by brooms.

"Of course, it makes us sad. We don't want this to happen. We want this to stop," she says.
A dumpling shop owner takes photographs of charred windows for his insurance claim, and said he was forced to shut his doors for much of the night.
Lasting damage
The tycoon Li Ka-shing is handing out $HK1 billion ($188 million) in grants to food and clothing retailers and other small businesses hit by the protests.
Hong Kong's economy has suffered, contracting 2.9 per cent in the third quarter of the year, the first fall in a decade. Tourism has plummeted and mainland Chinese are staying away.
In the one-time tourist mecca of Tsim Sha Tsui, shops batten down with metal shutters at night. Since people started setting Chinese banks on fire, it has become almost impossible to find an ATM after dark.
Driving the long way back to Hong Kong Island from Kowloon because the toll booths of the nearest cross-harbour tunnel were bombed by protesters, a Hong Kong-born taxi driver gives his summary of the problem: "The young people are afraid of the Chinese Communists."
The root cause of Hong Kong's continuing social unrest is fear of encroachment by Beijing on Hong Kong's freedoms – an anxiety shared widely in the community. That fear was heightened this week, as the Chinese government expressed anger at Hong Kong's High Court for overturning Carrie Lam's emergency mask ban.

Beijing declared the High Court had no power to rule on Hong Kong's constitution, sending chills through a foreign business community that has made the city a powerful financial hub, primarily because it is underpinned by judicial independence and legal certainty.
The demands of the protesters have remained unchanged, as Lam has remained unresponsive.
The last poll from the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute in early November showed 74 per cent of people blamed the police for escalating violence, compared to 41 per cent who blamed the protesters. An overwhelming 83 per cent blame the government.
The institute's president Robert Chung said: "The majority of Hong Kongers believe the police force has acted unprofessionally in making indiscriminate arrests and losing self-control."
He said this loss of confidence in the police had led to the "escalation of civil violence", and urged all parties to stop physical confrontations.

Critical juncture
The true test of public sentiment will be District Council elections due today. All 452 seats in 18 local councils will be contested, with pro-democracy candidates running in most seats.
There are 1090 candidates and more than 4 million people registered to vote. High-profile activist Joshua Wong has been barred from standing.
The election will be the clearest test of whether the public support seen in the massive street protests in June has been sustained and can translate into votes.
Hong Kong's No. 2 official, chief secretary Matthew Cheung, said this week: "I call on everyone to treasure this exercise."
In the past week, workers came down to the street every day to chant and heckle riot police during their lunch breaks in Central, the upmarket business district.
A man shouts slogans as he's stopped by police while trying to escape the Hong Kong Polytechnic University this week. Credit:AP
As the Polytechnic siege continued on the other side of the harbour, the mood became angrier.
Many in this well-dressed crowd are in their 40s and 50s. When a skinny, agitated schoolboy out of uniform darted towards the police line, the elders around him urged him back protectively. "It is too dangerous for you," said two women of his grandmother's generation.
When a twentysomething office worker in collar and tie heckles, the riot police charge forward and look to make an arrest. But the crowd will not tolerate it today, surrounding them and jeering.
After the police have left, another office worker, Chen, 24, stays on the street talking passionately with fellow Hong Kong citizens Wenna, 51, and Simon, 63.
"The riot police act too rough to the protesters. They use a lot of violence that is illegal," says Chen.
"I feel very, very sad," says Wenna, who starts to cry. "The solution is out of the hands of the people, the solution depends on the government. It is hopeless."
"I am at an age where I am not so young and so can't help the young people so much, but I hope the young people will be more careful about their situation," says Simon.
"I am unhappy to see a lot of young people captured by police, and police using violence against young people. I hope the international community, countries which have democracy, can help Hong Kong to solve this."

This post is bad news once again. A $1.1Million Pagani Zonda F has crashed in the streets of Hong Kong. The pictures tell the tale of one of the last ever Pagani Zondas to roll off the production line before the new one comes sometime next year.
Lots of damage, and it's going to be lots of money to fix that baby.


I've been in a "season of remembering" and feeling grateful lately, after a cold, harsh winter and a major health setback. During this time, I have had countless ideas for blog posts but we are experiencing a time in our family when all computers are nearly dead and also I need to learn much more about technology than I want in order to reach the "next level" of blog writing. So the ideas and creative impulses come and go and I have done nothing.
Until this morning, looking out at the lovely grass and listening to the birds as Spring begins to unfold, I started remembering how connected our family had the privilege of being to the seasons when my kids were young. My husband and I intentionally semi-stepped off the grid of urban life and uprooted our young family from the city to a country setting. At the time, all I can remember is wanting to have a simpler life with fewer distractions and outside intrusions but we didn't have many specific ideas about what our "country life" would feel like beyond that. The lessons came for us, many of them surprisingly difficult and unpleasant, yet we know, looking back, it was absolutely the right choice to make for our children.
This morning I started remembering all the unstructured, wild fun we had together when we lived in the country. We'd take adventurous walks on our land and the kids would get filthy dirty without worrying about being clean or "ready" for the next obligation on our busy calendar because there wasn't much of a calendar to worry about at all. Just time, nature, freedom, each other, the weather, the critters, and the expectations of enjoying one carefree day after the next. So I guess what I am saying is country life gave our family a framework we were craving that didn't exist in a city: some land, some time, some freedom – to enjoy life with youngsters unbothered by schedules and timetables and expectations. That's exactly, as it turns out, what we all had. Let me tell you in one word what that life felt like: glorious. It took returning to the city and hearing from parents we must contact the "nanny" to coordinate "play date" schedules for me to appreciate how golden our lives in the country had been. It was isolating at times and occasionally boredom set in. But all you had to do was wait for the next spectacular sunset or sunrise to unfold and rest beneath the quiet (unless it was tornado season) heavens to remember what we had was very special.
I recently heard my daughter describe in great detail what the sky looked and felt like out in the country minutes before a big storm. That memory is part of her and it will stay with her for life. Unless you have spent a considerable amount of time on the prairie and its open skies, you'll never understand what she meant when she told her friend about that sudden quiet, green-turning-to-black sky that happens right before a big storm. We took shelter during those times in our basement and in each other. We weren't worried about which activities might be cancelled because of the inconvenience of the weather. The weather was part of our lived experience.
As a Mother, your kids reach college age and you might start looking back to reassure yourself you gave them what they needed. I am fortunate that I didn't have to worry about much beyond fun and safe experiences on our land when they were little. And I can already see those early years have shaped the young adults they have become. After all, it takes a lot of mud puddles and unstructured play to build a competent adult. Thank goodness we had plenty.


Creating consistent results in writing had always proven to be the most difficult goal for me as a writer. I feel that I'm also not alone in this as other writers I've talked to have also struggled with achieving results. I wrote an article a while back when I heard about the idea of discipline over motivation and how that should get results and I thought I would try it. I would force myself into a disciplined routine of writing three to four hours every day rather than waiting until I felt motivated to do so. What I found was quite surprising.
For the first book I wrote, The Legend of Nariko : The Mark of Silverfrost, I wrote it purely on motivation and inspiration. I first started writing seriously in about 2011 and 2012. Anything before then was purely just scrawlings and fun doodle writings. But then I sat down and really worked on my story as inspiration came to me from music, books, and daydreaming. I came up with some of the best and most powerful moments of my book through daydreaming while listening to music. It was only after these brief times of inspiration that I would sit down and write. Aside from the anxiety of sharing my first book I ever wrote, I feel that this was probably the reason I took five to six years to finish my first book.
When I published my first book, I felt an overwhelming sense of purpose. Becoming an author was my goal in life and now I needed to finish this series I've started. To not do so felt like a disservice to the characters and the world I had created. As such I felt the need better myself as a writer. Five years felt too long to publish another book, I had to improve my ability to write. When I heard of the idea of discipline over motivation, I scoffed at first. The idea of forcing myself to carry out a creative task felt alien to me.
But I tried it regardless. Every day for four months I spent three hours in the morning and one to two at night. The results were quite surprising to say the least. Writing had become a matter of quantity rather than quality. I wrote whatever came to mind as I had to. No longer was I burdened to wait for inspiration to come to me, rather I forced it in order to progress forward. What happened was a great deal of world building and questions I forced myself to answer. Questions of my characters, of the world itself, that needed to be answered to progress the story. It forced me as an author to ask difficult questions of the narrative, to push past my writer's block and work towards an answer rather than wait for it to come to me. Because of this, I was able to finish writing the second book in five months time as opposed to five years.
Disciplined writing has proven to be a difficult task. But the reward has proven to be worth the trials as now I can focus on editing my work in the hopes of publishing book 2 by the end of the year or early next year. I highly recommend a disciplined regime of writing every day to anyone struggling to finish their work. Not only has it helped me to push past my own writing block, it also helped me to grow more confident in my own ability.


Would it be correct to say that they are synonyms?
A hook has a tighter arc than a pull, as I see it. If you hook a ball it heads off in a pronounced sideways direction. If you pull a ball it gently curves to one side or another.
Pretty much. I interpret both as meaning that the ball curves to the left insted of straight ahead (for a right-handed player, to the right for a lefty).
In baseball "pull" has a very specific meaning that has nothing per se to do with "curving." If a right-handed batter pulls the ball when he hits it, it goes to the left of second base.
Agreed. Many pulls do curve but the main sense is just going to the left of straight ahead. A hook, however, as James says, usually has a pronounced curve to it, typically increasing the further the ball goes.
"Pull" describes a trajectory or ball flight in which the golf ball starts to the left (for a right-handed golfer) of the target line and continues traveling left in a straight line, ending up well left of the target. A pull is distinguished from a hook by the fact that a hook curves to the left (for a righthander), while a pull flies on a straight path to the left."
A "pull" going to the right instead of left is a "push". A "hook" going right instead of left is a "slice".
Again these definitions are only for golf.
A hook in cricket does not impart a curved flight on the ball. Neither does a pull. They are two different ways of striking the ball and refer to the relative positions of ball, bat and batsman, and the trajectory of the bat, at the moment the ball is hit.
Problem is each of them can have different meanings in different sports. In golf, a pull is when (for a right-handed player) the ball goes to the left of the target, but without veering much off its course. When the ball swings in the air to the left, regardless of its original line, it's a hook. Of course, a duck hook or snap hook is when it hooks left almost off the club face. Tell me about it.
In cricket, a hook and a pull are essentially the same shot; the pull playing the ball from around waist height, a hook from around shoulder height.
Problem is each of them can have different meanings in different sports.


The Wheaton City Council on Monday night unanimously approved a proposed 11-home subdivision next to Wheaton North High School that will create a through street between Morse and Papworth streets.
Council members signed off on developer Oak Creek Capital Partners' plans to build its North Woods subdivision on the mostly vacant, heavily wooded 4.463-acre site at 0N675 Morse St., which is commonly known as the Smith property. Neighbors on Monday night continued to object to the street layout for the project that will extend Amy Lane, which currently is a dead-end street, to the west and then curve it to the north and west so that a newly built street, Mary Lane, can connect with Morse.
Under Oak Creek's revised plans, the developer eliminated some previously requested variations to allow taller home heights with smaller side-yard setbacks. In addition, Oak Creek agreed to construct a sidewalk and 15 paved parallel parking spaces along the west side of Morse, as well as 15 diagonal parking spaces along the east side of Morse, adjacent to the new subdivision.
Although neighbors continued to express concerns about high school students using the new subdivision as a shortcut, city officials decided to hold off on implementing any new traffic regulations, such as no-turn restrictions during some parts of the school day, until the North Woods subdivision is completed and the city's engineering staff can observe and document traffic counts.
On Monday, council members said they were satisfied with the work that had gone into modifying plans for the development.
"We've been working on this since Sept. 8, and this has been a long time coming as far as working this through," said Councilwoman Evelyn Pacino Sanguinetti.
Before the vote, two residents spoke out to express concerns about the plan. Amy Lane resident Tom Langan criticized the project's roadway configuration.
"The through street will incredibly increase the traffic flow," Langan said. "I don't see how that is a benefit to anybody."
DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said this week that he will appoint Karyn Romano, who for the past decade has run a public affairs consulting firm, to fill a County Board vacancy created by the death last month of longtime board member JR McBride.

Israel prez cements ties
Feb 21, 2020 | Naomi Levin
This article was first published in The Daily Telegraph on February 21 2020.
Democracies by their nature are robust arenas for often pointed free speech. However, it is unusual when the person taking liberties is the largely ceremonial head of state, and the man he is publicly rebuking, is the prime minister he asked to form government.
This week, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will land in Australia on an official visit. It is the third visit by an Israeli President to Australia, but the first in 15 years.
Rivlin – who was elected to the presidency by the Israeli Knesset in 2014 after a long political career – is known for standing his ground.
He is a strong advocate for robust liberal democracy in general, and for encouraging greater inclusion of Israel's Arab population in particular. And it was in this context, late last year, that Rivlin publicly rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his loose comments about Israeli Arabs during one of Israel's recent election campaigns.
"We, who live as sovereigns in our country, the Jewish and democratic State of Israel, must ensure equal rights and respectful and meaningful discourse with all Israelis," Rivlin said. His words were directed at Netanyahu and other legislators who had made controversial remarks about Israeli Arab voters.
What might make this intervention more surprising is that Rivlin comes from a right-wing political background and was a member of Netanyahu's own Likud party prior to becoming president in 2014. The two have long had a lukewarm relationship, with Netanyahu opposing Rivlin's bid to become president.
Before being elected President, Rivlin was speaker of Israel's parliament. His first visit in this role was to Umm al-Fahm, an Israeli Arab town near the West Bank border which some, including the recent US-proposed peace plan, have suggested could become part of a Palestinian state under any future peace deal. There, Rivlin met with the town's mayor in a bid to "develop dialogue, to stop sweeping things under the table".
Rivlin's bid to represent all Israelis, regardless of faith, is increasingly important in the wake of Israeli Arab opposition against proposals, such as this one, to relocate populations into a future Palestinian state. Most Israeli Arabs strenuously oppose the idea, wishing to remain part of Israeli society.
Since becoming president, Rivlin has established an NGO called Israeli Hope. The aim of the organisation is to promote diversity and inclusion of all of Israel's demographic groups in academia, education and sport.
And Rivlin practices what he preaches. His long-time chief-of-staff is a PhD-educated, ultra-Orthodox mother of 11 who is able to perform her professional duties while maintaining her religious practices.
The President also speaks Arabic – one of Israel's three official languages – which helps him relate to all Israelis.
Rivlin's visit to Australia will further strengthen ties between his country and ours.
Those ties have already been elevated this year by Australian Governor-General David Hurley's January visit to Israel, where he sat down with Rivlin at the President's residence in Jerusalem.
Rivlin's reciprocal trip will continue this process as the relationship between Israel and Australia continues to mature. Both countries are increasingly sharing expertise on issues ranging from water scarcity to cyber-security.
Israel has also stood by Australia during the summer bushfires, with Israelis hosting fundraising benefits, a group of Israeli innovators brainstorming hi-tech solutions to Australia's climate challenges, and Israeli zoos supporting their Australian counterparts dealing with the overwhelming task of wildlife rescue.
Rivlin could also be excused for using his Australian visit as a much-needed break from his country's topsy turvy politics.
Like the Australian Governor-General, Rivlin has a largely ceremonial role. However, after elections it is his role to meet with all party leaders and then task a Member of Knesset with forming government. Often this is a straightforward job, however Israel has been without a government for nearly a year, as parties struggle to form a workable governing coalition.
Israel held an election in April 2019, just a few weeks before Australia's federal election. Yet unlike our quick count and immediate resolution on the evening of the poll, no ruling coalition could be formed, and despite a subsequent election in September, Netanyahu continues to lead a caretaker government.
Another election looms in Israel on March 2. Once votes are counted, Rivlin will again be tasked with assigning responsibility for forming government with the Member of Knesset he feels has the greatest chance of success.
Suffice to say, his trip to Australia will likely be the calm ahead of the expected hurly burly after March 2. But with the widely respected Rivlin at the helm, Israel is in good hands.

If a loud, agonizing cry from the house next door woke you from a sound sleep tonight, would you call the police or shrug it off?
That's the challenge Tom French first put to readers of the St. Petersburg Times in a four-part series called "A Cry in the Night" in September 1986 and again in ten more parts in June 1988. The reporter's compelling tale of the 1984 murder of 36-year-old Karen Gregory at the hands of Gulfport firefighter George Lewis made every neighbor in every neighborhood of Tampa Bay wonder if THEIR neighbors would call '911' if they ever cried out for help.
No one called for help or came to the door the night Karen Gregory died, although any number of her neighbors admitted later they had heard her cry.
French, 33 years old and a 10-year veteran of the Times, has collected the eleven installments of his two award-winning series and expanded them into a new book called Unanswered Cries (St. Martin's Press, $19.95). It is the product of French's five-year obsession with the murder of a woman he never knew.
The first "A Cry in the Night" newspaper series was printed shortly before the trial of George Lewis and caused French himself to be drawn into it. The story was so widely read and discussed, the judge in the case moved the proceedings from Clearwater to Bartow to ensure a fair trial. Amidst plaudits for his reporting, French and his editors were roundly condemned for the timing of the story and its affect on the trial. But French – who covered police beats and courts for years – still believes the decision to run "Cry" in advance of the Lewis trial was correct.
Unanswered Cries is a "natural extension" of the two newspaper series, according to French, nearly double the length of what already appeared in the Times.

The original "A Cry in the Night" series grew out of the author's interest in the concept and role of neighbors. He had just written a feature about the phenomena of neighbors who ignore pleas for help from neighbors they don't know when the Karen Gregory case got his attention.
Being the author of a book is one thing. Being the author of a successful book is another, as French is learning.
Order 'South of Heaven' by Thomas French, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above!
Still, it takes more than collegial praise to sell books in today's crowded market, as French is discovering. In the first weeks following the release of Unanswered Cries, the book was buried among other new releases even in Tampa Bay area bookstores. It received little if any special attention despite its local significance. On the other hand, it was a main selection for Reader's Digest.
Regular readers of true crime literature will find this book does not fit easily into traditional notions of the genre. It is not a celebrity murder; the characters are not glamorous. In fact, when Karen Gregory died, the story was only a small blip in the St. Petersburg Times.

Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz
Dr. Frederick Lenz, known as "Rama" to his students and the general public, began teaching Buddhist meditation in his early twenties. Throughout his life, his goal was to transmit the essence of Buddhism so that Western practitioners could achieve the highest state of Buddhist realization - enlightenment.
Dr. Lenz was born on February 9, 1950, in San Diego, California. When he was three years old, his family moved to Stamford, Connecticut. He attended schools in the Stamford area and enrolled in the University of Connecticut where he majored in English and minored in Philosophy. He was inducted as a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
After winning a highly competitive State of New York Graduate Council Fellowship, he received his MA and Ph.D. in English Literature from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His doctoral dissertation was directed by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Louis Simpson, Ph.D. By the time he was 29, he had lectured and taught classes at universities around the world, including the State University of New York, Long Island University, Harvard, U.C.L.A., Stanford, Heidelberg, and the University of Zurich. In the early 1980s, he formed his own school of American Buddhism. From that time forward, he taught Buddhist principles and meditation to over 100,000 people.
Rama wrote a number of popular books about Buddhist teachings including Lifetimes, True Accounts of Reincarnation (1979); Total Relaxation: The Complete Program for Overcoming Worry, Stress, Tension and Fatigue (1980); Surfing the Himalayas (1995) and Snowboarding to Nirvana (1997).
Working with the band Zazen, he co-wrote and produced 14 musical albums including Canyons of Light, Enlightenment, Cayman Blue and Ecologie. All of the albums featured music geared towards facilitating the practice of meditation.
As a software designer, Dr. Lenz and his companies created a wide range of leading edge, business-savvy products. He was active in the introduction of educational, client/server, networking, medical, banking, trading systems, encryption, internet and intranet software and technologies.
He achieved excellence in a variety of challenging sports. He was a certified PADI Divemaster and technical scuba diver, a world-class snowboarder and a black belt in martial arts.
Dr. Lenz was a major contributor to National Public Radio in Connecticut and a donor and supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Cancer Institute, the AIDS Fund, Amnesty International, the National Museum of Women and the Arts in Washington, D.C., Shotokan Karate, The Cousteau Society and the Audubon Society.
Frederick Lenz passed away on April 12, 1998, in Long Island, New York, and willed his estate to the Foundation for the purpose of supporting Buddhism in America.
The documentary film, "Signs of a Rebel Buddha," examines the teachings of unconventional spiritual masters using the teachings and life of Dr. Lenz as an example.
See films of Rama teaching on YouTube.
American Buddhist Rebel is the award-winning biography of Dr. Lenz based on interviews with over 100 students and colleagues. The biography focuses on his early life and teaching years.

Terry Jones versus the World of Islam
Note: This article previously written on September 10, 2010 when Terry Jones for the first time announced his intention to burn the holy Quran is being posted again. However, the necessary updates have been incorporated in this write up including his latest attempt to burn Quran on September 11 this year.
Saeed Qureshi
By Saeed Qureshi
Terry Jones a throwback fanatic from the flock of the Middle Ages Christian crusaders does it again. But this time the local administration preempted his insidious attempt by arresting him. His hatred for the Muslims around the world knows no bounds. Burning 3000 copies of the holy book of Muslims would have satiated his leaping animus against the second largest segment of the humanity on this planet earth.
"In April 2013 Jones announced plans for a Qur'an burning event to be held on September 11, 2013. The Police arrested Jones on September 11, 2013, before he could burn 2,998 Korans soaked with kerosene at a park in Polk County, Florida. He was charged with unlawfully conveying fuel and openly carrying a firearm"
In such previous Quran burning event on March 21, 2011, Jones with the help of some aides, held a mock trial of the Qur'an and set a copy on fire as a "punishment" for "crimes against humanity."
He repeated his despicable act on "April 28, 2012, by burning a copy of the Qur'an, to protest the imprisonment of an Iranian-American Pastor, Saeed Abidine in Iran. Jones was fined $271 by Gainesville Fire Rescue for burning books without authorization."
That a single fanatic Christian is up to a vicious goal what the entire Christianity in the present times would not want to do and that is to traumatize the Islamic countries by audaciously defiling their holy book.
Three times, Terry Jones the pastor of the non-denominational Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida singlehandedly, has placed the United States government in the most embarrassing and awkward position and exposing the Americans all over the world and to grave dangers to their lives. He has symbolized himself as the vanguard of those extremist elements that detest other religions especially Islam and the Muslims living in the Pluralistic society of the United States.
It is unbelievable that in 21st century an odd, isolated, unknown clergy has so much audacity to defy the American constitution, spite the Islamic world, and go ahead with an action that was patently outrageous and provocative, unchristian and un-American.
After all Quran has been there all these centuries and yet what impelled a deranged pastor to rock the entire world with his insane obsession. The burning of Quran was aimed at expressing the hate and bigotry of the ultra- right Catholic Christians towards Islam.
During the previous Quran burning announcements by Terry Jones, the fervent imploring and the passionate requests and supplications of president Obama, the celebrated leaders of Jewish community and that of Christians, the serious concern of the Gen Petraeus and even the condemnation of Vatican Pope failed to convince Terry Jones to change his insidious plan. Should one call it an unbridled freedom of doing anything in the United States? However, Terry was not arrested on the charge of infringing the first amendment of the American constitution that guarantees freedom of practicing religions.
He was not pacified by any appeal until the secretary Defense called him and apprised him of the harmful ramifications to the American forces in Afghanistan. Robert Gates' telephone call somehow persuaded the stubborn pastor to postpone his diabolic action on the condition that it was subject to the relocation of the Islamic center near ground zero to a new place. He has still kept the option of burning the holy book if that condition was not met.
I f this is not fanaticism or terrorism in board day light then how would someone define this most sinister act of an individual that would neither promote Christianity nor annihilate or erase the Muslims from the surface of the earth. Where do we draw a line between the most sought after terrorist Ben Laden and the present day lone Muslim basher?
The American ethos and culture of religious freedom seems to be shredded by one individual who was deaf to the frantic calls of the entire world not to go ahead with his monstrous propensity. Muslims cannot respond by burning Bible because it is their sacred book also. Most of the substance especially pertaining to the ancient prophets is almost similar to what is presented in Quran.
The paramount question is: why this endemic and deep-seated hatred for Muslims in this country that is famed for its religious freedom and abounding tolerance. In the wake of this earth-shaking event, Terry has fired the first glaring salvo towards fomenting clash of religions.
Would it be in order if the American government enacts such a law that would prohibit demonstration of such brazen bigotry about other religions? This is imperative because if someone denigrates or derides others' religions then the law should move against such a person.
If tomorrow, some other individuals like Terry Jones also replay the same sordid episode then will it not foment the same crisis over and over again? What is going to happen to the sanctity of the American constitution and the American spirit of liberty, openness, and egalitarianism that the American society so grudgingly protects?
This tendency of professing or demonstrating hatred against other faiths must be nipped in the bud, before it assumes endemic proportions. It would be a kind of poisonous proliferation posing a new threat every now and then for the minority communities in this America. It may also slight America as a bastion of human dignity and religious freedom.

Lumbar total disc replacement is a surgical procedure that is used to relieve back pain and maintain maximum physical mobility in patients. Medical technology is rapidly developing to give patients new options for surgical implants. The newest devices bond metal and synthetic materials (polyethylene) with surgical techniques that form a durable bond with bone. This study was intended to evaluate the new devices and examine how well they were performing. Among the concerns of Dr. Lanman and his colleagues were to evaluate devices made from ultra-high-molecular-weight-poly-ethylene (UHMWPE) and see if the new material was performing better than existing designs. The physicians evaluated periprosthetic tissues from 11 patients who received their implants up to 4 years before the study. This study appeared in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research and was originally published online November 2015. Dr. Lanman was joined by Sai Y. Veruva BS, Jorge E. Isaza MD, Daniel W. MacDonald MS, Steven M. Kurtz Ph.D., and Marla J. Steinbeck MT(ASCP), Ph.D.

Why violent revolt lies in our future
By Larry Klayman
President Ronald Reagan used to say that the scariest words in the English language are: "Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Two hundred or so years earlier, our Founding Fathers had essentially the same thoughts when they declared independence from the British Crown based on its refusal to take into account the grievances of the colonies and its peoples, and instead attempted to beat them into submission.
Today, as we observe the holidays and ready ourselves for a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in the New Year, in the face of continued control of the Senate and White House by the Democrats and President Barack Obama, these words and thoughts ring louder than ever. Never before in the history of our sacred nation has the "State of the Union" been worse and indeed more hostile to the needs of the American people. And both Democrats and Republicans are responsible!
I have written in earlier columns that I sincerely believe that we have entered a new revolutionary period in American history. With each passing day, I become more convinced of it. And, regrettably, I believe that we are only a year of so from violent revolt if things do not radically change "on a dime."
Here are the signs of the violent revolution to come:
First, the economy continues in a tailspin, with unemployment increasing. Families do not have the financial means, even assuming they are able to bring home a salary, to pay for their children's higher education, buy a new car, much less put good wholesome food on the dinner table. Couple this with glacial growth in the economy, our dependence on foreign capital to keep the nation afloat and the continued real-estate crisis and the picture is more than bleak. And God forbid we have another large terrorist attack or an oil field or two in the Middle East blows up — the entire world economy could easily go down for the count. People get real upset when they do not have money; plain and simple. Just ask any employer who has missed or is late on a pay period for his employees. He or she is lucky not to be lynched. Our government has not only missed several pay periods, it is taxing the populace into submission and wasting these revenues on projects and graft that return nothing but more hardship.
Second, the prospect of war overseas looms large and is imminent. Thanks to the neglect of three successive administrations toward Iran, the fanatical mullahs of Tehran are on the verge of acquiring atomic weapons and undertaking in earnest their long-desired quest of worldwide Islamic rule. Because of President Obama's and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's policy of appeasement, the situation is now even more dire and will require almost certain military intervention by Israel and the Western powers to stop the potential Holocaust that looms on the horizon.
Then there is North Korea, which already has atomic weapons and had just this week threatened a nuclear war against its southern neighbor, the United States and its allies. Of course, that's not to forget about Hugo Chavez, that communist Venezuelan despot Obama hugged and fawned over at the Summit of the Americas a couple years back. He has just acquired hundreds of missiles from Vladmir Putin's Russia. Chavez is, not coincidentally, a close ally of not only Castro's Cuba, but Iran and North Korea. These "trouble spots" are on the verge of blowing up, requiring massive U.S. resources, financial and otherwise, to address. This in turn will put even a greater strain on the American economy and our nation's military, particularly with the continuing counterproductive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our government has more than failed big time; it has lead us into an international hellhole.
But the crises domestically and internationally are not all. "Above all," it's the arrogance, indifference, incompetence, immorality, corruption and slough of our government officials and their body politic, and the media, which are destroying the country.
Our Founding Father and perhaps greatest American president, John Adams, declared just days before signing the Declaration of Independence that without ethics, morality and religion, we can change our rulers and our form of government many times, but we will have no lasting liberty.
The cesspool of Washington and our state capitals, furthered by what is generally a degenerate mainstream media, has had more than a corrosive effect on our Judeo-Christian culture. The people have lost any respect for their so-called "leaders."
Last week I was watching an episode of Glenn Beck on Fox News. While I generally agree with Glenn and believe he has served the country well, he went off on blasting Julian Assange and WikiLeaks for releasing hundreds of thousands of allegedly classified government documents into the public domain. Beck called Assange a "traitor!" Then, turning to the studio audience, Glenn asked them, with a confident air that they would agree with him, what they thought of Assange. All but a few in the audience refused to condemn Assange and WikiLeaks, despite the respect and adulation they have for their television mentor. The response of the group was telling and scary. The American people sided with Assange and WikiLeaks and threw cold water into their adored host's face. And why was this? Because "We the People" have come to see the government as so evil that even if it takes allegedly illegal means to bring it to its knees, to prevent its further oppression, this seems justified.
There we have it in a nutshell. No matter how hard the conservative and leftist media may try to twist the minds of the American people, they have a mind of their own. And, as of today, that mind is on rebellion against the government, at all costs.

Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is known for his strong public interest advocacy in furtherance of ethics in government and individual freedoms and liberties. During his tenure at Judicial Watch, he obtained a court ruling that Bill Clinton committed a crime, the first lawyer ever to have done so against an American president. Larry became so famous for fighting corruption in the government and the legal profession that the NBC hit drama series West Wing created a character after him: Harry Klaypool of Freedom Watch. His character was played by actor John Diehl.
In 2004, Larry ran for the U.S. Senate as a Republican in Florida's primary. After the race ended, he founded Freedom Watch.
The author of two books, Fatal Neglect and Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment, Larry is a frequent commentator on television and radio, as well as a weekly columnist, on Friday, for WND.com. He has been credited as being the inspiration for the Tea Party movement. (See "Larry Klayman - The One Man TEA Party," by Dr. Richard Swier.)

$4.65M awarded in Ford airbag case Widow claimed in lawsuit that pain from husband's injuries led him to take his life
David Wren

A jury on Friday awarded $4.65 million to the widow of a former Charleston area pharmacist who killed himself nearly 1½ years after an automobile accident in which a defective airbag resulted in serious injuries.
The wife of John Wickersham sued Ford Motor Co. over the defective airbag, saying pain from the injuries her husband suffered led him to take his life.
Ford had asked for the case to be dismissed, saying Wickersham had a long history of depression and suicidal thoughts and that his death was unrelated to the accident. Ford also said the airbag injuries occurred because he was not seated properly in the vehicle, with his head too close to the steering wheel at impact.
"While this incident was certainly tragic, the scientific evidence demonstrated that the accident was caused by the driver's own inattention, as well as not being properly seated and restrained at the time of the accident," said Ford spokesman Brad Carroll.
Ronnie Crosby, a lawyer for Crystal Wickersham, the late man's wife, said a data download from the vehicle's "black box" proved the airbag deployed late, allowing John Wickersham to move dangerously close to the steering wheel at the time it deployed.
"Ford's claim of scientific evidence to the contrary was refuted at trial and obviously rejected by the jury," Crosby said, adding that the airbag shouldn't have deployed at all in the low-speed crash.
"We had two very different versions of what happened and the jury simply did not believe what Ford tried to sell." Crosby said.
Following a 10-day trial in U.S. District Court in Charleston, a jury determined that while Wickersham's mental history contributed to his suicide, Ford's negligence was overwhelmingly to blame for his death.
Ford intends to appeal the verdict, Carroll said.
The jury's award includes actual damages to compensate his wife and the couple's four grown children for his wrongful death. The jury did not award punitive damages, saying there was no clear and convincing evidence that Ford acted recklessly or maliciously.
The lawsuit against Ford was filed in 2013 in Beaufort County and later moved to federal court.
According to court documents, Wickersham was returning to Charleston after working a night shift at Beaufort Memorial Hospital on Feb. 3, 2011, when he lost control of the 2010 Ford Escape he was driving. The vehicle went through an intersection, hit a curb and then struck a tree on the front passenger side. The vehicle's airbag deployed late, causing serious and permanent facial injuries to Wickersham, who was wearing a seat belt at the time.
Wickersham, who underwent numerous surgeries, "felt like he looked like a monster and was very self-conscious about his disfigurement as a result of the accident," court documents state.
A neuropsychologist said in a deposition that "the accident certainly caused a significant degree of pain, far more than (Wickersham) was able to cope with."

Unable to work because of the pain, Wickersham committed suicide on July 21, 2012, by swallowing a lethal dose of pills, according to court documents. He lived in Moncks Corner and was 55.
Ford said in court documents that Wickersham had discussed suicide with his wife as early as 2003 and had spent years in treatment for severe depression. A psychiatrist Wickersham had been seeing recommended that his patient be hospitalized because of suicidal thoughts a month before the accident occurred, but Wickersham declined.
In addition to the accident, John Wickersham experienced other stressful events at the time that, combined with his mood disorder, led him to commit suicide, Ford said.
Crystal Wickersham said her husband was no longer suicidal after an April 2012 hospital stay, in which doctors took him off his pain medication after determining the medication was causing his suicidal thoughts.
"After his discharge, (Crystal Wickersham) asked (her husband) if he had suicidal thoughts and said 'he didn't have anything planned. He wasn't — wasn't on the verge of doing it,'" Wickersham's lawyer said in court documents.

Georges Loinger  (29 August 1910 – 28 December 2018) was a French soldier during World War II. During his time in the French Resistance, he helped hundreds of Jewish children escape from occupied France to Switzerland.

Early life
He was born on 29 August 1910 in Strasbourg, France (then part of Imperial Germany) to Jewish parents Solomon Loinger (1883–1971) and Mina Werzberg (1886–1981). In 1925, he entered the Hatikvah Zionist youth movement.

World War II
Loinger began fighting against Nazi Germany at the start of World War II, but was captured in 1940. He escaped from his prisoner-of-war camp later that year and joined the French Resistance. He rescued about 350 Jewish children, and helped them to escape from France to Switzerland, for which he was awarded the Resistance Medal, the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honour. Until September 1943, this frontier was guarded by the Italian army; Loinger remembered an Italian senior officer privately telling him he approved of Loinger's actions. After September, there was German occupation and Loinger's task became harder. A physical education teacher, he used tactics such as organizing soccer games in Annemasse on the border of Geneva, and having players continue running across the border guarded only by barbed wire.

Awards and honors
He was appointed chairman of the Association of the Jewish Resistance of France (ARJF). In March 2013, he was received by Shimon Peres, the former president of Israel. In 2014, he was awarded the medal of honorary citizen of the city of Strasbourg. In July 2016, he was made an officer in the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. He was awarded the Resistance Medal, the Croix de Guerre, and in 2005 the Legion of Honour.

Personal life
His cousin was the famed mime Marcel Marceau, and his niece is Israeli singer Yardena Arazi.

Loinger died in Paris on 28 December 2018 at the age of 108.

Energy Impact Partners (EIP) is the world's largest strategic venture investment firm focused exclusively on energy. We have raised a $500 million fund targeting early-to-mid stage equity investments in innovative companies who will impact the future of the electric and gas utility industry. Our limited partners – the investors in the fund – are a global coalition of utilities seeking to increase the efficiency, sustainability, and value of their industry. For this master's project, our goal is to gain a deep level of insight into the emerging venture investment opportunities in a particular sector relevant to our limited partners: the decarbonization of space heating. We hope to understand the near-term and longer-term forces and trends shaping this market, map out the landscape of solution providers (both incumbent and 'investable'), and develop a strategic roadmap for utility investments in this space.
Space heating is an important global contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and has historically been a difficult source of emissions to address. EIP is ready to invest capital in innovative solutions today, and our partners are ready to deploy them, if we find solutions that can cost-effectively address the problem. We are looking for technology that can meaningfully tackle heating-related emissions, and to learn whether our partners can use this technology value to create value for customers, shareholders, and society.
Students will be asked to perform both qualitative primary research (lots of interviews), review relevant academic and industry research, and build some simple quantitative models to analyze the scale and scope of the opportunity for investment in the decarbonization of heating. They will be asked to think creatively and analytically to develop a framework for thinking about the market, and eventually advise the EIP team on opportunities.
The project will need multidisciplinary students to tackle the nuances and subtleties of market research. More quantitatively-oriented students can help build models to assess the technical and economic viability of various approaches to heating decarbonization. Students interested in business and marketing are needed to develop analytical frameworks to segment the opportunity. Students interested in behavioral science are needed to help think about how the 'end-consumer' – meaning households and businesses – will react to various technology options. Lastly, we need systems thinkers to put this market in global context and help us understand whether global policy and economic trends will be favorable to growth.
EIP will use information provided by this effort to identify relevant investment opportunities and potentially put millions of dollars of capital to work. We will not share the output beyond our investment council and utility partners.


Adweek asked some experts in the field how they got where they are and what their advice would be for anyone looking to break into the industry.
Delaney attended the Creative Circus portfolio school in Georgia and moved straight into agency copywriting at Mother New York. School can be fairly self-selective, as "the inherent test of a two-year, full-time program is whether or not you really want to do this for your career," according to Delaney.

The SIT DOWN collection began with a black and white photo of a boy on a porch sitting on time-worn, wooden steps with a screen door behind him. The front porch is tightly encased in a vinelike plant called Dutchman's Pipe, so overgrown that you can't even push open the door. The boy is killing time, lazy, bored, waiting for the next great thing to happen in his life.
The porch belongs to Mid Hale, an elderly woman who'd spent most of her life in that house. Behind that screen door, she'd raised five daughters, fed her family franks'n'beans every Saturday night, baked her famous yellow jello cake with cherry icing for after-church receptions every Sunday afternoon.
"No, but I can see out," she'd reply.
Or maybe it didn't happen that way at all. It's always a guessing game. No matter how much is known when you take a photograph, you're often compelled to wonder what brought this person to this place at this time. What was he doing a few minutes before or after the photo was taken. Are you getting the story right, and does it even matter.
Usually I take a photograph because a certain gesture catches my eye. Something about the posture, or the relationship between people, or the way the light captures the moment, makes me unscrew the lens cap and advance the film..
