A groundbreaking report shows how the plastics industry has used different tactics to distract, delay and derail unfavourable legislation. Industry delaying tactics include lobbying to delay unfavourable legislation, to protect the status quo for longer and to remain primed for future opportunities to influence or weaken the legislation.
The plastic pollution crisis is a climate crisis, a biodiversity crisis, a public-health crisis and a crisis of accountability blended into one. Yet, regardless of the increased awareness, plastic production is skyrocketing – expected to double by 2030 – and, despite all the talk of clean-ups and recycling, plastics keep ending up in our mountains, rivers and oceans.
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), 60 major cities in the country generate around 25,940 tons of plastics per day, of this around 60% is recycled mainly by the informal sector while the rest (approximately 9,400 tons) ends up in the environment. These numbers are perhaps a highly conservative reflection of the reality on the ground. India's leading plastic industry body, Plast India Foundation, has estimated annual consumption of 16.5 million tonnes of plastics in 2017-18. A staggering 43%, or 7 million tons, of this, is single-use and packaging plastics that have no recycling value.
In the South Asian context, it is the Multi-layered packaging (MLP) that contributes significantly to the plastic pollution crisis. MLP uses a variety of plastics, primarily Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), and PET. However, PE and PP account for ~ 62% of polymer usage in the flexible or multi-layered packaging industry.
Plastic Industry tactics to derail unfavourable legislation in India
A groundbreaking report by the Changing Markets Foundation shows how the plastics industry has used different tactics to distract, delay and derail unfavourable legislation. Industry delaying tactics include lobbying to delay unfavourable legislation, to protect the status quo for longer and to remain primed for future opportunities to influence or weaken the legislation.
The industry has applied similar tactics in countries like India (see India report) which has been buried under the exponentially growing plastic trash. Indian policies on plastic waste management have been evolving in response to the growing nature of the crisis. The country's first law on plastics was announced in September 1999 with an aim to restrict the use of plastic carry bags (20 microns and less) and prevent the packing of food in recycled plastic. The 1999 rules were amended in 2003 with the aim to dilute the restriction on carrying bags but with a caveat mandating registration of manufacturing units with regional pollution control authorities. Eventually, as the plastic crisis moved beyond carrier bags, the government announced the draft Plastics (Manufacture, Usage and Waste Management) Rules in 2009. The 2009 draft rules were relatively ambitious, as it was the government's first attempt at regulating the unrestricted use of multi-layered plastics for packaging. The deliberations on the 2009 draft spanned over the course of a year and the final rules were notified in February 2011 as the Plastic Waste (Management and Handling Rules, 2011).
However, in its final iteration, the expert committee reviewing the draft dropped the restrictions on multi-layered plastics following representations from the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The IIP is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry but it solicits members from the plastic industry. IIP's current membership base comprises of 593 companies which include lifetime members like Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd., Hindustan Unilever Ltd., Colgate Palmolive India Ltd., ITC Ltd., Procter & Gamble among others. Its lifetime and patron membership fund currently amount to Rs.15 crores (approx. US$270,000).
Eventually, the launch of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) laid the foundation for the next iteration of the rules. The Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules were notified in March 2016 to supersede the Plastic Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011. The 2016 rules were hailed as the most progressive because of its emphasis on the responsibility on manufacturers and brand owners. Furthermore, they also proposed a comprehensive framework on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The rules were also dubbed as the boldest for recognising the menace caused by single-use multi-layered packaging plastics. Clause 9(3) of the rules stated that; "manufacture and use of non- recyclable multi-layered plastic if any should be phased out in two years' time".
According to environmental groups fighting plastic pollution, the 2016 rules were landmark legislation that promised to push the complacent industry towards adopting alternative packaging and delivery mechanisms. However, the rules were rendered toothless via a crucial amendment in 2018. The Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2018 specifically targeted clause 9(3). The amendment proposed substituting the phrase 'non-recyclable multi-layered plastic if any' with 'multi-layered plastic which is non-recyclable or non-energy recoverable or with no alternate use'.
The 2018 amendment was the result of intense and effective lobbying by the plastic industry bodies like All India Plastic Manufacturers Association (AIPMA) and the PET Packaging Association for Clean Environment (PACE). Internal deliberations of the ministry also go on to expose the stronghold of the plastic industry on policymaking. A committee formed under the aegis of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change in 2017 deliberated upon the challenges faced in the implementation of the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016. In its recommendations report of November 2019, the committee made the following observations on clause 9(3) of the 2016 rules – "In the stakeholders meeting, it was suggested that only non-recyclable and non-energy recoverable plastic should be banned. However, practically there is no plastic which is not recyclable or non-energy recoverable. Therefore, there is no need to ban Multi-Layered Plastics.… The committee was of the view that we should remove the Rule regarding banning of MLPs from the PW Rules. MLPs waste should be regulated and its use in waste-to-energy (WTE) plants, cement plant etc be promoted."
"The plastic crisis in India is a result of over-production, no amount of incineration or cement kiln burning or plastic roads can resolve the issue. Even if we can divert all plastics towards such applications, we will still be addressing only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Furthermore, the immense financial and practical difficulties of collecting every piece of plastic is not even being considered," said Shibu KN, India coordinator for GAIA Asia Pacific.
False Solutions Galore
The investigation has also found that companies are known to pass off end-of-pipe solutions like cement kiln co-incineration and plastic downcycled into road construction material as "recycling". PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, which have the highest plastic footprints, were found diverting the majority of their post-consumer waste towards downcycling applications like polyester staple fibre and yarn. In several instances, the financial commitments made for plastic waste initiatives were woefully small in comparison to both the revenue and waste footprints of the companies. Additionally, informal waste workers and waste pickers are an integral part of the recycling eco-system in India, playing a crucial in ensuring that high-value discards are recovered back into the system. Most companies have recognised this and seem to have developed programs that piggyback on the goodwill of the informal sector and help them whitewash their image in the process.
Furthermore, the Indian subsidiaries of multinational corporations have developed their own set of voluntary initiatives that shy away from addressing the plastic crisis in any meaningful way. An overall analysis of the various commitments and voluntary programs reveal a lack of transparency in reporting the progress of such initiatives.

Q: Understanding foreground service lifecycle I'm trying to implement a foreground service and I'm trying to understand how it handles crashes.
I created a simple service like the one one below:
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    checkRunningAndStartForeground();
    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    crashAfterTenSeconds();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy {
    super.onDestroy();
    if(isRunning) {
        isRunning = false;
        stopForeground(true);
    }
}

What happens is that the service starts in foreground, and then crashes, as expected. It is the scheduled for restart by the system. It restarts and then crashes again, as expected. After that, it is not scheduled for restart.
My question is, why does it restart once, but not twice? I want it to keep restarting after each crash.
What I am worried about is that if my application is running, and somehow crashes twice, then it will never be restarted.
For example, it crashes once in the beginning, runs for a day or two and crashes again, does that mean it won't come back?

A: As David suggested in the comments, I tried increasing the crash interval, but it did not help. I believe android stores the number of times the service crashes, and if it crashes 2 times, no matter the interval, then it stops restarting it. I believe this is different then when android kills off the service for memory, which I haven't gotten android to do for a foreground service.

A: Try Using StartSticky in the return statement, It will work.
Android system will restart service after it crashes.

Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso says they face Crystal Palace in the right form.
Last Sunday's 4-0 Premier League win over Burnley was followed by a far closer Carabao Cup tie in midweek when Cesc Fabregas's goal proved decisive in a 3-2 victory against Derby County, and Alonso is pleased with the way the season has begun.
"I enjoy it when we win," Alonso told chelseafc.com. "We have started very well this year, we are all very happy with the new manager and the way we are working and it's important to get the results.
"I think we have a great team and the players that came in the summer are helping us a lot. Players who were not involved last year are now getting the confidence and they are giving us great performances. If we work hard and keep going in the same direction I think the results will keep coming.
"We've been getting the results but in terms of the way the team play, we can still improve. We are working on small details which can still get better and that will make us a better team."

How many open-access papers are getting published these days? And who's doing it? Inspired by a tweet from @labroides (link at the end so as not to give away the punchline), I went looking for numbers.
According to the page linked above, "691 Elsevier articles across some six hundred journals were sponsored in 2010. Sponsorship revenues from these articles amounted to less than 0.1% of Elsevier's total revenues." (And indeed, 691 × $3000 = $2.073 M, which is about 0.065% of their 2010 revenue of £2026 M ≈ $3208 M.) As Elsevier publishes 2639 journals in all, that amounts to just over a quarter of one open-access article per journal across the year.
In the other corner (I won't call it red or blue because of the political implications of those colours, which by the way are the opposite way around on different sides of the Atlantic. Anyway …) In the other corner, we have PLoS ONE. According to its Advanced Search engine, this journal alone published 6750 open-access articles in 2010 — about ten times as many as all Elsevier journals combined. Indeed, in the last month of that year alone, PLoS ONE's 847 articles comfortably exceeded Elsevier's output for the year. That's one journal, in one month, up against a stable of 2639 journals across a whole year.
What can we take away from this? Maybe not very much: Elsevier offer their sponsored-article option to all authors, after all, and they can hardly be blamed if the authors don't take them up on it.
But why don't they? Tune in next time for some thoughts on that.
But you only counted the articles made OA by publishing them in an OA journal ("Gold OA")!
There's also the articles published in non-OA journals, and made OA by self-archiving the final refereed draft in the author's institutional OA repository ("Green OA").
Clearly most of the immediate OA growth potential is in mandated Green OA.
Green OA is great, and I support it, for those who have an institution with a long-term digital document repository. Unfortunately, Gold OA is the only option available for many of us. If you have practical ideas on Green OA repositories for those of us paleontologists who are not at institutions with such libraries, I'm all ears!
Stevan. I agree with the title of your article "Gold Open Access Publishing Must Not Be Allowed to Retard the Progress of Green Open Access Self-Archiving". But I also believe that Green Open Access Self-Archiving Must Not Be Allowed to Retard the Progress of Gold Open Access Publishing. I worry that the strength and consistency of your beating the Green OA drum could give the impression that you are opposed to Gold OA. Say it ain't so.
Hi Stevan, thanks for the thoughts and the links. I agree that Green OA has the potential to cut the supports out from under commercial closed-access publishing. But settling for Green OA is also to some extent an admission of defeat, ceding control of the final published versions of research works to the publishers who claim to own them. We don't accept that. We're swinging for the fences, not trying to get on first. And I see no necessary conflict in agitating for Gold OA while practicing Green OA–something Mike and I (and many others) have been doing for some time (in the half-assed sense of making our papers freely available through personal websites–I agree with Andy that institutional repositories are great once they exist, but not all of us have them or are in a position to call them into existence).
Actually, I am not really convinced by institutional repositories. Having been at Portsmouth in 2009, UCL in 2010 and Bristol in 2011, I really don't want to have my work sprinkled across a bunch of different repositories. Subject repositories seem like a better bet. Better still, something like arXiv, which just has everything in it.

Women in South African Media
August 6, 2019 in Online Marketing
"Wathinta Abafazi, Wathinta iMbokodo"
We all know that every action has a reaction. On the 9th of August 1995, one of the largest demonstrations was staged where 20 000 women of all races marched to Pretoria's Union Buildings to present a petition against the carrying of passes by women to the prime minister. These women sent a public message that they would not be intimidated and silenced by the unjust laws. It has been 24 years since this act of selflessness and courage and this has made me feel the need to highlight challenges faced by women within the media industry.
Women in media face gender inequalities, safety issues, and under-representation. You could watch a movie, switch on the TV, tune in to the radio, turn the pages of a magazine, or surf online. Regardless of your choice of media, you'd have a good chance of encountering stereotypes that perpetuate gender discrimination. Despite these challenges, women continue to push and flourish against all odds.
Research spanning more than 100 countries found that 46% of news stories, in print and on radio and television, uphold gender stereotypes. Only 6% highlight gender equality. Behind the scenes, men still occupy 73% of top media management positions, according to another global study spanning 522 news media organizations. While women represent half of the world's population, less than one third of all speaking characters in film are female.
This research should wake us up as a society, as we need to encourage and support women to enter the media discourse and most importantly, to do away with the content of gender stereotypes that we see and hear from media outlets.

Pupils who have received their exam results are being offered support.
NSPCC Scotland is asking youngsters who are worried about this week's exam results to get in touch.
Counsellors at children's charity's Childline service are poised to help Scottish pupils who have received their grades from the National and Higher exams which they sat in June.
Last year, 2016-17, saw a rise in counselling sessions carried out by confidential support service Childline with young people worried about exams.
More than 3,100 counselling sessions were held with UK children relating to exam stress and impending results, including 150 from Scotland. This represented a rise from the 106 sessions held in Scotland the previous year, with young girls over five times more likely than Scottish boys to reach out for help.
NSPCC Scotland's policy and public affairs manager Joanna Barrett has encouraged any pupil worried about what the future may hold after today's results to get in touch for free, confidential support and advice.

It could be your future writer's shack!
Thank you, Mama Pea :-).
Great to hear from you. Please keep posting, I've missed you.
What a sweet move for the building. And the thought of it one day perhaps being a one room school house is great!
I was so excited to see a post from you! I, too, have missed hearing from you, but I completely understand that life makes it difficult to post as often as you'd like.
Lovely to hear from you. Fun to see what the girls unearthed from under the Smoke house.
Such a great work. Congratulations on this move. Cannot wait to see more of this project and see how things end.


Setting up the appearance of tables on the website is often the most unpleasant part of the webdesigner's work. I will be not far from the truth when say that most designers prepare only basic CSS for tables a forgot on the rest. I also don't remember on I ever saw a graphic design in Photoshop, which would somehow foresaw the display tables.


Parents across the Rio Grande Valley can breathe a sigh of relief as funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program was extended for six years Monday.
The approval was part of a short-term funding bill that ends the three-day government shutdown by keeping it funded through Feb. 8.
About 23,000 children in Hidalgo and Cameron Counties depend on the CHIP program while about 400,000 are enrolled statewide.
Funding for the program originally expired at the end of September 2017, forcing states to rely on reserve funding to keep the program going until December when Congress approved $3 billion for CHIP. Approval of those funds was also part of a short-term funding bill that, in Texas, was expected to have kept the program funded through March.
While the program has had strong bipartisan support since it was created in 1997, efforts to reauthorize it stalled over how to pay for it.
In November, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to fund the program for five years but that also cut $6 billion from the Prevention and Public Health Fund. Democrats including U.S. Reps. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, and Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, objected to those cuts and called for a clean reauthorization bill. That bill was never brought to a vote in the Senate.
On Jan. 12, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that a 10-year extension of CHIP would decrease the federal deficit by $6 billion as it would be more expensive for the government to pay for health coverage through Medicaid or subsidies on the healthcare marketplaces.
An acceptable CHIP reauthorization provision was included in the current stop-gap bill to keep the government funded, but Senate Democrats blocked the bill because it did not include legislation on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
The DACA program is meant to protect for more than 700,000 undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children, also known as DREAMers.
Enough Senate Democrats eventually agreed to vote for the funding bill without a DACA provision on Monday with assurances from Republicans that the Senate will take up the issue. The bill was signed by President Donald Trump Monday evening.
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and Gonzalez voted in favor of the bill when the House initially voted on it last week and again after the Senate vote on Monday. In doing so, they drew a slew a criticism from immigrant activist groups.
The congressmen issued a joint statement Monday explaining why they voted for the measure without securing a deal on DACA.
"Since September, we have said time and time again that Congress needs to keep the government open in order to properly deal with the DACA program and DREAMers," Cuellar and Gonzalez stated, expressing optimism that a resolution on the program would be reached.

Hiking offers an opportunity to improve mental toughness and grit. The weather, terrain, and your pace can shape the difficulty of your hike, and tough hikes result in a truly rewarding experience.
Stop by Uncle Sam's Safari Outfitters for hiking shoes, day packs, hiking backpacks, hiking socks, and everything else you need to start hiking!


The first antennae for the MeerKAT radio telescope — the precursor to the large-scale Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project — will be ready for service at the end of June, science & technology minister Naledi Pandor said on Friday.
"Twenty-one antennae will be mounted and ready for science," she said at the third SKA African partner countries ministerial meeting in Muldersdrift, west of Johannesburg.
They had hoped to have 28 antennae ready, but there had been a number of changes.
The MeerKAT would be integrated into first phase of the SKA project. It is being built about 90km outside the Northern Cape town of Carnarvon.
The SKA project is an international enterprise to build the largest and most sensitive radio telescope in the world, and will be located in Africa and Australia. Deploying thousands of radio telescopes, it will enable astronomers to monitor the sky in unprecedented detail and survey it thousands of times faster than any current system.
The MeerKAT telescope was originally known as the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT). When its budget was increased, it was re-named "MeerKAT" (More of KAT). The meerkat, or suricate, is a member of the mongoose family and lives in the Karoo region.
According to the SKA project, once up and running, the MeerKAT will generate enough data from the antennae to fill about 4,5m standard DVDs in a day. Once all its 64 antennae are operational, MeerKAT will be sensitive enough to pick up a cellphone signal from Saturn.

Q: How to access index in a component called in ng-repeat in angularjs? I have the following files. This is code in node-list.html

And this is code in node-list-item.html.

{{$index}}

Basically node-list-item is rendered for each iteration of the ng-repeat of the node-list.html file. I need to access the index of the item from the parent i.e. node-list.html in node-list-item.html I have been researching this for quiet some time but am not able to do so. Please help. I am using angular1 i.e. angularjs. This is the directive code in node-list-item.js
function directive() { return { templateUrl: "partials/node-list-item.html" };}
module.directive("svNodeListItem",[ directive ]);

A: Use this in the node-list.html:(You need to send index to the node-list-item directive)

Then change your sv-node-list-item directive to this:
function directive() {
    return {
        scope: {
           index: '@'
        },
        templateUrl: "partials/node-list-item.html"
    };
}
module.directive("svNodeListItem",[ directive ]);

And finally your node-list-item.html to this:

{{index}}

For more information about ng-repeat check the documentation here and for directive variables here.


You know what really grinds my gears?! All of the businesses doing the same type of marketing their competitors are doing and getting lousy results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRRRGH! This drives me crazy.
Here I am, doing marketing for the real estate business by using 3D mail, Angie's List (I believe Angie's List doesn't get the credit it deserves… You know why??? Because it WORKS!), Zillow, and mailings for our buyers (Yes, we mail out postcards for our buyers… but that's our little secret 😉 ), AND all of these other real estate agents are still doing their crappy Just List / Just Sold cards.

So, what are you doing differently in your business so you get customers lining up at your door? Are you doing what your competitors are doing or are you being EXTRAVAGANT?!
◀ EDDM From USPS… Say What?


Magic awaits in the heart of Midtown.
What comes to mind when you think about Overton Park? Is it the greensward? Rainbow Lake Playground? The Memphis Zoo? Perhaps it's the Levitt Shell or the Old Forest? There's so much to admire, appreciate, and discover.
For me — a proud Midtowner coming up on two decades living in the area, filled with its daily hustle and bustle — Overton Park is a refuge of beauty, joy, and wonder. Whether riding through on my bike, taking in a concert, or just chasing my kids around, this escape from urban life is always welcomed — and sometimes, really needed.
Through the frigid temperatures of winter and the muggy heat of summer, Overton Park is a treasure like no other in our city. Positioned beautifully in the center of Midtown and replete with everything from golfing to hiking to just plain playing, it's no wonder everyone flocks here throughout the year, no matter the season.
While it's hard for me to say this (I turn 40 this month), I've been visiting the park for nearly three decades. As members of the Brooks Museum and Memphis Zoo, our family finds ourselves there in one way or another at least once a week. My daughter Ella was just at the zoo for a field trip last month, and before that, we were enjoying a rare warm winter day walking the paths of the Old Forest.
From the slides to the swings to the tree you can climb through and play hide-and-seek in, Rainbow Playground is unmatched when it comes to play spaces for kids. But don't get me started on the ropes course. My kids love to climb to the top but don't quite know how to get down yet. Let's just say my knees and back are sore just thinking about those imminent rescue missions. Who knows, maybe this year they will figure out how to get down by themselves?
Then there's the greensward, always abuzz with activities, including soccer, ultimate Frisbee, football, rugby, and more. Sometimes there are jugglers, hula hoopers, and tightrope walkers, too. You never know who or what you'll see. Overton Park has also become home to countless festivals including A Day of Merrymaking, Latino Memphis Festival, and Palestine Festival.
My favorite view of the park is sitting directly in front of Rainbow Lake. From this vantage point, the trees behind the lake don't even look real, especially when they are in full bloom. It's also a great spot to dog-watch. My girls and I love watching the fearless, stick-fetching pups. Sometimes they go so far out, even when they are completely out of breath — I often wonder if I'm going to have to go in and help a dog back to shore.
Did you know that many Memphians have never been to the park? It's true; just ask some of your friends and neighbors. I'm always pushing this dialogue because any first-time visitor I've heard from, or taken myself, falls in love with it.

Simon-Pierre Marion is the president and founder of Scenarex. Having graduated with the highest honour from UQAM, Mr. Marion holds both a bachelors degree in computer science (B.Sc.A.) and an executive master's degree in Business Administration (EMBA) with a specialization in technology management. He is an entrepreneur with a combined experience of over 20 years in the management of teams, projects, and budgets. In 2015, Mr. Marion decided to combine his passions for entrepreneurship, technology, and literature to bring his creativity into the domain of ebooks. His life mission, as well as his organization mission, is to bring innovation to the service of every author. He aims to provide a benefit to their digital works through a shared economy that protects their rights and ensures an equitable distribution of the revenues between every party.
Simon-Pierre Marion will be a panellist at Tech Forum 2018 in a session titled Blockchain and Building the Future of Information Management and Sharing.
I believe that words are weapons… Weapons of mass creation! With them, authors create books that teach us, make us react, and grow our inner selves.
Way before the technological era, literature and other written works were one of the most important tools for knowledge transfer — vital agents to society and its culture. For thousands of years, cities, provinces/states, and countries have ensured the sustainability of their literature and written works by sharing them with their citizens thanks to knowledge hubs like universities, libraries, and historical sites.
With the invention of printing presses, books became more widely disseminated and knowledge became more accessible. Now, in the new era of information and communication technologies, the medium of books is migrating to digital, accelerating this democratization. Although the container has drastically changed, the importance of the content remains the same. Cities, states/provinces, countries, and their institutions must adapt to this new reality to sustain and share their own cultures.
The question here is "how?" How can you ensure the sustainability of digital literature while preserving its integrity with a fair return to its author(s)?
What is blockchain and where does it come from?
In their article "The Truth About Blockchain", Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani explain blockchain as "a peer-to-peer network that sits on top of the internet" that was "introduced in October 2008 as part of a proposal for bitcoin." Bitcoin is actually the first application of blockchain technology — it's a virtual currency system (also called cryptocurrency) "that eschewed a central authority for issuing currency, transferring ownership, and confirming transactions." But blockchain isn't "simply" a cryptocurrency solution. It can do so much more! Before we get to what blockchain can do for digital literature (i.e., ebooks), let's get a better grasp on what it is.
Blockchain offers a public, distributed database (analogous to a general ledger) on a network. It's a means for someone to submit transactional information that will be recorded in the general ledger without the possibility of modifying it once registered. The official registration of the transaction is guaranteed by decentralized agents who are located in the same network supporting the distributed database. These agents provide the executing power for the various algorithms that ensure the recording of the transaction in the database is permanent. Each recorded transaction is stored in blocks that are linked in sequence (hence the term "chain"). Every transaction and its associated value are visible to anyone with access to the system and can be verified without an intermediary. Blockchain also provides a secured process, using public and private keys, for individuals to identify themselves in the network while staying anonymous if desired. This is why we can consider blockchain an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.
If we extrapolate their vision into the ebook industry, this would mean that we could have a means for authors and editors to publish their work directly into an ebook blockchain. The content of every ebook would then be protected from deletion, tampering, or revision. A single source of truth! Readers would then securely access this ebook blockchain and record a payment transaction to access the content they want. The ebook blockchain agents would manage the recording of the payments and ensure proper distribution to the creator(s) of the content. And the beauty of this is that it would be completely transparent!
Going back to my premise regarding the role of cities, states/provinces, countries, and their institutions in sustaining their cultures through literature, how would that work? I mean, if we ever get to a point where we don't need anything other than an ebook blockchain to ensure the sustainability of the world's literature, would this mean the beginning of the end for local cultures? And, if so, is that a good thing or not?
As I said earlier, I don't pretend to know the answer or what the future has in store, but one thing is for sure: blockchain is definitively going to change our digital era!
If you'd like to hear more from Simon-Pierre Marion about blockchain and the future of information management, register for Tech Forum, March 23, 2018 in Toronto. You can find more details about the conference here, or sign up for our mailing list to get all of the conference updates.

Why Africa needs blockchain
Bitcoin may make headlines when its value crashes or climbs, but the blockchain technology behind the controversial cryptocurrency could help Africa overcome some of its biggest developmental challenges.
Leishen Pillay, partner and Head of Technology, Media and Telecommunications at Hogan Lovells South Africa, says blockchain could present new ways to help overcome challenges which continue to stymy the continent's growth, like corruption and a lack of infrastructure. The potential application of blockchain and other disruptive technologies within the African context was one of the key topics discussed at the 2nd annual Hogan Lovells Africa Forum, recently held in Johannesburg. "Corruption and fraud are classic problems. Yet, people are still looking at them through the lens of how we have always tried to solve them in the past. We need to fully embrace the way technology can offer new solutions to these age old problems," says Pillay.
He says blockchain offers a new approach to combatting corruption because of its ability to create and store encrypted records which can be verified, but not altered or deleted. "The best way to explain how blockchain works is to think of the Lego blocks you may have played with as a child. Blockchain uses an algorithm to layer data sets on top of each other just like you use different layers of Lego blocks to build a wall. The higher you build a wall of Lego, the more difficult it becomes to remove any of the Lego blocks inside it – especially the ones lower down. In the same way each layer of new data encrypted in a blockchain increases the integrity of the layers below it, so no single data set can be deleted or manipulated in any way."
However, it is not just this layering process which ensures that data stored on a blockchain is so secure. Blockchain is also decentralised – which means it simultaneously stores data on a large number of computers instead of just one. "Blockchain makes use of a distributed ledger. A traditional ledger – that is a book or piece of software used to record transactions – only stores transactions in one place. Blockchain stores each transaction on a network of millions of computers around the world, which makes it virtually unhackable," explains Pillay.
He says these attributes make blockchain technology ideal for keeping records which need to be protected from fraud and corruption. Property deeds, identity documents, hospital records and vehicle registration documents can all be securely stored using blockchain technology. "Imagine we could place public finances on a blockchain accounting system where each transaction is recorded and can be traced. This can greatly improve transparency through ensuring there is an inalienable record of every governmental transaction which can be used to verify that funds are spent appropriately."
But Pillay says the possible applications for blockchain technology in Africa go far beyond the administrative sphere. For example, a combination of blockchain and the internet of things could be used to continuously monitor the temperature of vaccines in a cold chain. "Certain vaccines need to be kept below a certain temperature until it is administered to a patient. A connected smart device can monitor the temperature of the vaccine and create a tamper proof record if the cold chain is broken at any time. This removes any uncertainty around whether the vaccine can be administered safely."
Another possible African application for blockchain is to assist in combatting the sale of counterfeit cigarettes. "This problem is very prevalent in Africa and to curb it manufacturers are now exploring the idea of storing the serials numbers of batches of cigarettes on a blockchain so they cannot be altered in any way. A store owner would then be able to scan the serial number on each batch of cigarettes he receives to confirm it against the blockchain and verify if it is a legal delivery from the manufacturer."
The decentralised nature of blockchain also means that this technology can implemented without the need for large infrastructure upgrades in Africa. "Blockchain can be utilised in Africa even if the infrastructure needed to support it is not situated on the continent. All you need is a data enabled mobile phone. A system can be built and housed anywhere in the world and still be accessed from Africa. Infrastructure does not need to provide the bridge that gives Africa access to these technologies anymore, your smart device can now become that bridge."

Three types of seizures commonly associated with epilepsy (grand mal, psychomotor, or focal epileptic seizures) are often treated with a drug called Mysoline. Mysoline (primidone) is a drug found in the class called barbiturate anticonvulsants. This drug helps a person with epilepsy by controlling abnormal electrical activity in the brain that brings about seizures. Use of Mysoline is beneficial as it reduces their chance of losing consciousness during a seizure. Additionally, long-term and repeated seizures have been known to produce other possibly life-threatening conditions and by reducing seizures, this risk is also reduced.
Full benefits of taking Mysoline can take up to several weeks. Users are cautioned to be patient and use the drug as prescribed to avoid the potential for abuse or overdose. If a person decides to suddenly stop using the drug, they may kick off a series of unwanted withdrawal side effects which can include respiratory failure, heart damage, decreased blood pressure, paralysis, and even death.
Mysoline is seldom used recreationally but overdosing can occur. Side effects of overdosing are the same as those related to sudden withdrawal of this medication.
Whether you've used Mysoline yourself or know someone who has, you may have questions about this prescription drug. To learn more, check out our related topics or call a representative from The Recovery Village who can help get you answers.

It is expected that the first CPC data will be included on US applications (US-A documents) from 14 March 2013. For US grants (US-B documents) some CPCs may publish from the end of February.
As soon as this data becomes available from the USPTO it will be included in DWPI.
The EPO have produced two backfile data sets, both of which are being processed for inclusion in DWPI.
The first records containing CPCs began to appear in DWPI in mid February in records where a new equivalent was added to an existing DWPI family or a correction to a record was made.
The full load of all backfile data into DWPI will be carried out during May, once both backfile data sets from the EPO have been fully processed. This is likely to complete by June and will contain CPC data published to the third week of January 2013 along with any European Classifications (ECLA) that have been included in this data.
In July the standard quarterly reclassification update will be applied to DWPI and will include the CPC data published from the 4th week in January onwards.

EDSI - Succession Planning 101: When to Start?
An astounding 58% of small business owners have no succession plan, according to a 2017 study of 200 privately held businesses, conducted by Wilmington Trust. The last thing any business owner wants is for an unexpected tragedy or unplanned scenario to happen which then forces someone who is not prepared to take over. With no structure or plan in place, the new leader is destined to struggle and likely fail.
This is just one example of why it's never too early to begin building a succession plan; the rule of thumb is no less than five years. At the point many realize they need a succession plan, it's probably already too late. Don't fall into that category!
When is the best time to start planning for your succession?
The ideal time to start succession planning is when your business is starting to take off. You want to protect all the heart and soul (not to mention, money and resources) that you put into your company, yes? It is possible to safeguard your business without it being an overwhelming process.
If you're ready to dive into the process wholeheartedly, stop here and go read this blog instead, which offers 5 get-started steps for succession planning. If you're just beginning to familiarize yourself with succession planning and aren't ready to dive that deep yet, keep reading.
How do you know what your future organization should look like from a staffing and leadership standpoint?
Succession planning focuses on having the right people and financial structure in place so that the value of your business will continue to increase for many years down the road. Ask yourself: who are the 1 or 2 successors that could fit into the most critical job positions in the future? Do they have the skills and experience necessary to be successful? Are they experienced in many aspects of the business and respected by colleagues, clients and business partners?
Is there an easy way to determine if potential successors have what it takes to handle certain positions?
As you're thinking about possible successors and positions, you should create a success profile for each position. This includes documenting the skills, abilities and behaviors needed to be successful in a specific role. Once you have that, compare the individual to the success profile and you can identify what assets they have and what deficiencies there are, and then later you can create a development plan to ensure that person is successful in that role going forward.
Starting to warm up to the succession planning concept? A great next step is to check out this useful pre-succession planning checklist that offers organizational and pre-planning tasks that will help ease you into the process without being too overwhelming.
The best thing you can do for your company is to start the succession planning process now. Don't put your business, the financial lives of your employees, or your personal financial situation at risk. Instead, take the time well in advance to plan out a thoughtful business ownership succession plan.
Are you looking for a way to find the right person to take over a position? Fill your talent pipeline? Ensure that valuable knowledge is transferred before it's lost? Or, did someone say the word, "retirement?" Our easy-to-use templates can get you started.

Our traditions are found on the land.
We need to protect it.
UNTIL THE QUEBEC GOVERNMENT'S 2020 TARGET
The renewed Plan Nord offers an opportunity to establish and specify conservation measures to protect 50% of the land lying north of the 49th parallel from industrial activities, including a measure to establish protected areas. As part of this process, the Québec government's target is to ensure that, by 2020, 20% of the area covered by the Plan Nord is made up of protected areas, of which at least 12% will comprise boreal forest north of the 49th parallel. Steps will also be taking to implement a mechanism for the priority allocation of the remaining 30% of the area for non-industrial activities. This part of the North will be dedicated to the protection of the environment, the safeguarding of biodiversity and the promotion of various types of development. The government intends to continue the process to establish national parks as part of the implementation of the Plan Nord.

Cree Conservation Strategy
The Cree Communities of Eeyou Istchee along with the Cree Nation Government have taken the initiative to develop a conservation strategy to meet our goals to conserve our land as much as possible by means of creating protected areas recognized by the Quebec Government and by adopting international practices that fit our needs to achieve our dream of keeping our lands intact for future generations.
Broadback River Conservation Plan
The Broadback River Conservation Area is a large scale, regional conservation project. It is an initiative between the Cree communities of Waswanipi, Nemaska, Ouje-Bougoumou, Mistissini and Waskaganish in collaboration with the Cree Regional Authority/Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee).
After several years of work and consultation, the Cree Nation Government has identified 30 per cent of its territory it wants to see protected from development, at least in part. When brought together, the proposed areas represent a territory roughly the size of Ireland, about 80,000 square kilometers, and
Quebec Cree hold protest, ramping up pressure to protect untouched forest
