A modern industrial strategy – can it work?
by Professor Henry Overman
Co-authored by Max Nathan
Much has already been written on the Government's Industrial Strategy Green Paper. This post isn't intended to provide an overall assessment or spell out our individual views on the approach being set out (they differ, depending on which of us you ask). But there are areas where the proposed strategy will shape the work that we'll do at the centre and where we also hope that our work will influence the implementation of the eventual strategy.
Full disclosure – the Centre is cited in the document as one of the institutions the Government hopes will help improve local economic growth.
The first area of interaction relates to what we do and don't know about policy effectiveness, particularly when it comes to some of the Strategy's 10 pillars – which are a mix of tech (science, research and innovation) cross-cutting (skills, infrastructure, supporting business growth, procurement, trade and inward investment) and sector (new sector deals, clean energy). Academics would call this a 'matrix' approach .
Take, for example, policy to support business to start and grow. We know that there are market failures here – entrepreneurs often make avoidable mistakes, which better information could help fix; many young firms need better access to early stage finance (the Green Paper talks about 'patient capital').
The crucial question is: what's the right policy mix to help address these challenges? Our evidence reviews on business support and on access to finance suggest that around half of schemes have measurable impact against policy objectives but around half don't. Our reviews and associated toolkits start to identify the elements that might go in to the design of a more effective set of interventions. And we'll soon be publishing more toolkits on incubators, accelerators and science parks. All this material provides guidance on how we might improve support to businesses but major challenges remain – both in terms of gaps in our understanding and embedding the evidence in policy development.
We are in a similar position when it comes to policy to develop skills. We know quite a lot – see, for example our evidence reviews on employment support and apprenticeships and our toolkit on training (soon to be supplemented by a toolkit on apprenticeships). Changes to policy design can improve effectiveness but, once again, there are gaps in our knowledge and challenges in implementation.
Things are more complicated when it comes to investing in science, innovation and research. We can say something about the specific policy tools – e.g. from our evidence reviews we know that both R&D grants and tax credits drive up innovative activity. But it's not so clear whether increased innovation at the firm level feeds in to improved local economic performance and there are lots of unanswered questions about the appropriate policy mix. That ambiguity is one of the reasons why people advocate such different approaches to strategy.
In the interests of openness – we should note that one of the things our review did find was that grants and loans programmes that target particular production sectors appear to do slightly worse in terms of increasing R&D expenditure and innovation, compared to those that are 'sector neutral'. So, while it makes sense for government to recognise that different sectors might need different policy responses (e.g. in terms of the institutional structure that supports those sectors) this might increase the challenge of effective policy implementation in some of the other policy areas.
Questions on infrastructure are similarly challenging. The evidence that we do have on the link from transport to local economic growth raises some questions about the effectiveness of these policies for turning around areas that are struggling. But at the same time, we know that such investments can help drive growth in areas where travel times and congestion are a big issue (and not all of those areas are in London and the South East). Getting the right balance will be crucial. As with innovation expenditure, people are willing to advocate for very different approaches – particularly when it comes to the overall pattern of expenditure. We'll continue to make the case that focussing on the overall pattern of expenditure isn't helpful when it comes to shaping effective policies. What we need is a better understanding of the economic impact of different schemes and improved ways of feeding this information back in to decisions about scheme prioritisation. This will be where our work will focus in the coming years.
We could make similar points about the other pillars, but in the interest of space, let's turn instead to a final cross cutting issue – whatever happens we think that to be successful, industrial policy will need to be inherently experimental. How we deliver and develop the policy will matter a lot.
Industrial strategy is always going to involve unknowns. Most fundamentally, because it involves funding basic science (or commercialising new ideas) – not all of which are going to work out, so wouldn't be delivered by the market. In other cases, investments will trigger spillovers between parts of the economy that are hard to see upfront.
Finally, unknowns crop up because – for a lot of the things Governments want to do as part of industrial strategy – we still have a long way to go in understanding what is an effective policy mix. In addition to the policy areas covered above, at least three of the Pillars – strategic procurement, innovative place strategies, and institutions – are subject to big knowledge gaps in terms of what works. As a result, how we implement future industrial strategy will be crucial.
As you might expect, we will be arguing for an experimental approach. We need to test lots of different ideas, figure out what works, scale up the things that do and drop those that don't. Many of those calling for a more interventionist policy – such as Harvard's Dani Rodrik – have consistently emphasised this point. Many people have argued that the Green Paper's approach isn't such a fundamental break with the past. But a greater focus on flexibility, on experimentation, and on testing and improving, would help differentiate this from the past and increase the chances of success where so many other strategies have failed.

Attack of the USB Killers: Coming to Your Clients' Classrooms
What are USB Killers, and what does their existence say about the security behind your classroom/higher ed tech installations?
May 6, 2019 Paul Konikowski	Leave a Comment
Last month, a former student of the College of St. Rose in New York pled guilty to destroying "66 computers as well as numerous monitors and digital podiums containing USB data ports owned by the College." The damage was done using a "USB Killer" device that discharged high voltage pulses into the host device, physically damaging the host's electrical system.
According to the court documents, the total losses due to the incident were 58,471 USD. A quick Google search shows that these "USB Killer" devices are readily available on websites like Ebay for around 40 USD.
Details of the "digital podiums" were not released, but any AV integrator who has done work in higher education institutions could probably guess they were lecterns or teaching stations outfitted with room computers, portable laptop connections, confidence monitors, control touch panels, media switchers, and/or playback devices.
The "numerous monitors" in the court documents could have been simple computer monitors, or larger wall-mounted flat panel displays often used for small-group collaboration.
Motive? Doesn't Matter
The motives of the attacker are unclear, and in the end, are essentially irrelevant. What is relevant is that the same thing could easily happen at another university, K-12 school, company, or house of worship.
Related: Security Product Options: Access Control Products You Should Know
Security experts have shown that USB drives and cables can be built to perform HID attacks, launch command shells, download malicious payloads, and/or modify the DNS settings to redirect traffic.
But more importantly, any USB memory device (a.k.a. USB stick or thumb-drive) could contain files that are infected with malware.
One penetration tester that I spoke to said he often drops off a handful of infected USB drives at hospitals and medical buildings.
The USB drives appear to be harmless freebies, and eventually an employee uses one, opens the file, and the test payload is delivered.
He said that the USB drive attack vector is not as effective as email phishing campaigns, but it is still part of his testing.
When I first shared the College of St. Rose story, many #AVTweeps commented that little could be done:
It's hard to protect against physical attacks. If you do block the USB port or somehow protect it from electrical discharge, the attacker could smash it with a hammer.
— Leonard C Suskin (@Czhorat) April 27, 2019
Without an option to disable the port completely for both data and power transfer, there is little anyone could do in this instance. With physical access, all bets are off…
— Kevin (@kevin_maltby) April 27, 2019
What Can Be Done About USB Killers
I agree that if someone is truly intent on causing damage, they will find a way, but I think there are still some things that can be done to minimize the impact and likelihood of a USB-based attack.
First, make sure that all members of your organization have signed a computer usage policy, and formally agree to not destroy computer hardware.
Next, consider remoting all computers in locked data closets, and always lock classroom podiums and AV credenzas to minimize access.
Use card-keys or biometric scanners to allow limited access to server rooms, and add IP cameras to these rooms so you can prove who actually did the deed. This is called attribution, and is often a challenge in cybersecurity.
USB attacks should also be outlined in your cyber-awareness training, so that everyone knows to not use random USB drives or charging cables they find.
Last but not least, you should have an incident response plan that anticipates USB attacks, and communicate that plan, so everyone knows what to do in case of a "USB Killer" attack. It may seem unlikely, but it's certainly possible, and it is best to be prepared for it.

Firebirds Soar Past LeMoyne, 5-2
Milic improved to 4-1 in singles play this season with her match-clinching victory today.
SYRACUSE, NY – The University of the District of Columbia women's tennis team claimed two of three doubles matches and four of six singles matches to earn a 5-2 road victory vs. LeMoyne College Sat. afternoon at Skytop Tennis Courts.
The Firebirds, winners of three straight dual matches, improved to 4-1 overall with today's win while the Dolphins fell to 5-2 overall.
The match began with doubles play, where the Firebirds have managed to secure the doubles point every match this season. UDC kept its streak alive today as its No. 1 and 2 doubles pairs both remained unbeaten in dual match play. Simoné Pärn and Marija Milic teamed up for a 6-0 win at No. 1, and Anastasiia Danylova and Joanna Skrzypczynska came through with a 6-4 victory at No. 2.
Pärn continued the Firebirds' momentum as she kicked off singles play with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Tiffany Hamdan at No. 1. She is currently 5-0 this season in dual match singles play.
Danylova followed with a 6-3, 6-1 win vs. Camila Hamala at No. 5, moving UDC within a singles point of clinching the match.
The next two singles decisions at No. 4 and 6 went the Dolphins' way, but a resounding comeback win by Milic, after she had lost the first set, 6-1, clinched the victory for the Firebirds. She would defeat Birdem Oz, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 at the No. 2 spot to earn the decisive 4th point.
Joanna Skrzypczynska then, for good measure, grinded out a hard-fought, 7-5, 1-6, 7-5 win vs. Caroline St. Antoine at No. 3, as she continued her stellar play in this her rookie season with UDC.
Next up, the Firebirds have another non-conference road match at Millersville University on Wed., Oct. 3 at 2 p.m.
Wed, 04/10 | Women's Tennis vs. Salem Int'l L, 6-1 (Final)

Home / Blog / Bombshell
08-3-2017 | Lynn Ruth Miller
Tiff Stevenson performs internationally. She is an item not to be missed. This is her new solo show.
Bombshell is exactly what the title implies: an explosion of outrage; a hand-grenade of a monologue; one everyone should see and talk about for days and weeks and months to every person they know. It is that important. The show is wild and yet it is funny. It shakes up our preconceived notions about the world, society and ourselves and still it makes us laugh.
No topic is neglected here. Over-zealous liberals are called to task along with conservative right-wingers. Stevenson discusses the politics of attraction and says that straight white men don't understand what the rules are for their behavior. "You can compliment a woman," she says. "But she owes you nothing. " It is the woman who must beware her response because every compliment is loaded with unsaid implications that she needs to understand. To illustrate, Stevenson discusses putting on her make up on a train that had a sign, "Please do not put on your make up here. This is not a bathroom."
But Stevenson says it is a privilege for people to watch her fix her face. "It is like a show," she says. "I start out a seven and end up a ten. That's what it takes to be a woman in 2017."
The fact that we need to do this is one of the ways society demeans women. "Now putting on my make up is my protest against diminishing the value of women."
Tiff Stevenson has plenty to say about what the world has become. She maintains that decrying injustice is not enough. In fact, it means nothing at all. In reality, despite our protests, our marching, our outrage, nothing ever changes. She does not spare her own prejudices in her diatribe against lost values and skewed perspectives. No one is free from guilt. "We all have unconscious bias," she says. "But we must question it and challenge it. Then we can move on and accept us as people."
There is great deal of angry truth in this show. "2017 is even worse than 2016," she says and then she discusses the Grenfell fire and its frightening implications. It took place in Kensington, a place that has the highest disparity between the rich and poor. She says the reporting of it was as outrageous as the disaster itself because the reporters put their need to get a story above the importance of what actually happened. They wanted as much sensationalism as they could get. There was no compassion for the survivors who were in shock, traumatized by a horrific experience that will scar them for life.
She points out that the advertising industry is trying to sell us a toxic life style and asks us what ads really tell us. She points out the difference between the ads for woman that make them feel ugly and unclean and those for men. "I don't have the answers for the way women are sold products," she says, "But there is no nut wash for men."
Tiff Stevenson casts a searing light on the foibles and mis-steps we all have allowed to happen in our lives and on our way of thinking. She is angry and she wants us to share her outrage . She tells us to notice what is happening and stop justifying the way we think and act toward one another "Just until we all feel better."
I cannot think of a more important way to spend an hour than to listen to Tiff Stevenson's take on what we call civilization. This show is a profound and volatile analysis of what is going wrong in our world today. It is also a very wise and funny piece of political and social comedy.

The german magazine Gamestar announced a new release date for Elex, with Piranha Bytes as source of the information: early summer of 2017. The Gamestar is speculating on June or even May for the game to be released. Until now, only summer 2017 or even just 2017 was known has a date for Piranha Bytes' newest game.
It took a while, but now - even after some personnel changes - the page "About" is finally online (you can find the link at the bottom of every site as well). There you can find all hard-working people who contribute to World of Elex, be it the website or the forum, the technology or social media. This is accompanied by many small changed and updates which we have made to the website in the last couple of days, as you may have already noticed. And we'll keep updating our content and work on the design of the website and forums in the future as well. Stay tuned!
It has been almost 2 months since the GamesCom in Cologne took place and yet the exposition time for Piranha Bytes continues. The game conventions in Russia, Poland even in Seattle wanted not be missed by Nordic or PB. So they visited the Igromir in Russia in September, early October the TwitchCom in Seattle and now they are preparing for the Poznań Game Arena, which will start next week.
In a press release GOG.com announced that THQ Nordic will release several of their upcoming games on GOG.com. Among the games that will be released there without DRM also is ELEX. Thus, the game will be available on GOG.com at release, in addition to Steam and a boxed version. Additional information and new screenshots can be found on the product page about ELEX. Which copy protection the boxed version will use is still unknown though.
Once again Piranha Bytes has released pictures of a monster from Elex, today The Hornwolf. Further down you'll find an artwork, his proxymesh and a screenshot of him.
Morgannin from "World of Piranha Bytes" has made a third Podcast video about Elex, this time featuring the information from Gamescom and the Q&A thread!
Once again Piranha Bytes has released pictures of a monster from Elex, today the Blackguard. Further down you'll find an artwork, his proxymesh and a screenshot of him.
In the last couple of days there has been some movement in the forums and on the website: The forum has got a new header and looks a lot more appealing now because of the new design. The World of Elex wants to thank our graphic artist Crow Girl at this point for her great work!
Another change was made to the galleries on the website. More comfort was provided there and users can now click through the images instead of having to open them one by one. Also a diashow option is available.
Another 17 minutes of gameplay!
We have another 17 minutes of pure Elex gameplay for you, which features similar, but not the same, scenes as the last video. Have fun!

Happy 16th Anniversary to Aaliyah's Red Album!
Artwork by yours truly! 😊❤
#Happy16thAnniversary to Aaliyah's self titled album also known as the #RedAlbum and Aaliyah's baby! 😄🎉❤ Every year I always try my best to make a tribute, so today I decided to represent our highest most exalted Queen as the mature woman she had become during this era and growth. With each year, and each caption, I always find myself describing and learning from this album in many different ways. It's only as I've grown older, that I truly understand the deeper meaning behind the lyrics Aaliyah and #StaticMajor conveyed to us all. With each listen, I'm constantly learning new things from each track on this album, and how much of an impact she truly made in such a short amount of time. The fact that she was only 22, yet her maturity could pass for someone 20 years older! Wise beyond her years! 😩
She was such a private person too, but with this album she gave us an inside look as to who the REAL Aaliyah was as a person, singer, daughter, sister, lover, model, actress, dancer, performer and overall…a bad ass woman showing us female empowerment way before any other female artist ever did! 💁
To me, this album is the blueprint that started it all, paving the way for other female artists to learn that it's OK to step out your comfort zone, trying something innovative and outside the norm. Taking a chance on people who are new to the game because you are willing to take a risk and chance, to create ever lasting longevity, that will forever stand the test of time as one of the greatest! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this album. You all created something during a time where albums actually had value, meaning and depth, instead of just playstreams and downloads etc…Forever grateful for having this physical copy! 🙏💚
As a special surprise I also have a video I made which I would like to share with all of #TeamAaliyah. Here is a rare remix of Aaliyah's 'Don't Know What To Tell Ya' (kind of fitting seeing as how the original single was meant to be on the third album, but didn't make the final cut, until it was eventually included on the posthumous compilation album, 'I Care 4 U' released in 2002).☺
Full credit goes entirely to @saba_hattin via Twitter who kindly shared and managed to find this very rare remix from one of his old CD's. Thank you so much for sharing with all of #TeamAaliyah! You have no idea how much life this brings to our ears! 😩🙏💚
This particular track was aired on the French radio station Skyrock & remixed by Dj Goldfinger around 2003. Here's to our highest most exalted Queen! Happy listening! 😉❤

Manga creator Daisuke Higuchi announced in Shogakukan 's Ura Sunday magazine and Manga ONE app on Monday that she is putting her Whistle! W (pronounced " Whistle! Double") manga on hiatus due to health issues. She noted that she is taking some time off to recover and "recharge."
The manga centers on two boys. Kōga Tenjō is blessed with an affluent family, a famous former soccer player as a father, and an unyielding spirit. Takumi Kurose is a reticent and detached boy who has endured past hardships. When they meet, a new soccer story begins.
Higuchi launched the manga in Ura Sunday and Manga ONE in September 2016. Shogakukan published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on January 18. The manga is a "new story" in Higuchi's Whistle! soccer manga series.
Higuchi serialized the original Whistle! manga in Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1998 to 2002. Shueisha released 24 compiled book volumes for the series. Viz Media released all 24 volumes in English from 2004 to 2010, and released the manga digitally from 2013 to 2014. The manga received a 39-episode television anime adaptation in 2002-2003, and a stage play adaptation in 2016.

How will Legalised Sports betting in the US affect the society?
by Shahjadi Rahman
in Economy, Social issues
In May 2018, the Supreme Court of the US struck down PASPA, the federal law banning single-game wagering. Each state now can set its own rules for online sports betting. Till now, around 38 states and the District of Columbia have either legalised or offered legislation for gambling on sports.
Richard Daynard is a University Distinguished Professor of Law and President of the Public Health Advocacy Institute at the Northeastern University. He believes that increase in the number of casinos in the US have already eaten into the savings of people who didn't previously have access to slot machines and roulette wheels. According to him, the emergence of legal sports betting by smartphone will create even more vulnerability.
Daynard says, "Like tobacco and alcohol companies, legal bookmakers will profit most of all from users who are susceptible to addiction".
According to him, Gambling and alcohol use are similar. Most people who are into alcohol or gambling are not addicted. But there's a subset in both cases of people who are addicted. The subset produces a very high fraction of the revenue. If out of 100 people, only 10 are addicted, then the addict should be responsible for 10 percent of revenues; but they are responsible for 30 or 40 percent, because they're at it all the time. Daynard also pointed out that once gambling is available in every possible way, at some point the market will saturate. But at a very high public-health cost.
"There will be an awful lot of unhappy people and unhappy families and impoverished families. A lot of addictive behavior is impulsive, and if you have difficulty resisting something, then having it at your fingertips is going to make it all the harder to resist", he says.

Hunter Gatherers – Brutish Or Brilliant?
HUNTER GATHERERS, BRUTISH OR BRILLIANT?
by Ken Fischman, Ph.D. and Lanie Johnson, M.A.
Q Russia and the Ukraine have been in the news lately. Can anyone tell me what it's about? (Discussion). The first shot has been fired in what I call the Resource Wars. Essentially, Russia turned off the spigot on the Natural Gas it pipes into the Ukraine, which is needed to heat homes during the Winter. You see, Russia wants to increase the cost by 400%. Not nice.
You may be wondering what this has to do with HGs. A lot. You see, the world is running out of oil and Natural Gas, and this will change our economy and culture drastically. We will be forced to reinvent a sustainable society. Once upon a time, we did have a sustainable society.
The present situation requires a little explanation. Back in 1956, an oil Geologist by the name of L. King Hubbert published a paper in which he calculated that oil production in the US would peak in about 1972, and would drop every year thereafter. A lot of smart people derided Hubbert. After all, at the time, the US was the world's leading producer of oil.
Oil is a finite resource. They aren't making it any more.
Hubbert's students and followers have refined his methods and used them to predict when World Oil production will peak. Most of them say between 2008 and 2012. A few say that we have already passed it.
You may have noticed that the wholesale price of oil hit almost $70/barrel a few days ago. Some experts say that it is just a spike due to temporary conditions. Don't be fooled. These are the same kind of guys who laughed at Hubbert in '56. Some facts are simply too ugly to face, especially when your whole lifestyle is at risk.
Try to imagine automobile gas at $10-20/gallon. Our whole culture is built on cheap energy. Autos and trucks, home heating, industry, medicine, food. Agriculture runs on oil and NG – fertilizer, pesticides, transport to market, etc.
What will happen? Will we go back to the stone age? I doubt it. We will probably go back to the 1890s instead, and those days weren't so bad. Small towns, local economies, extended families. Are there ways to live a good life without buying lots of "stuff" and flying to Mexico every winter? You bet.
Tonight we will look at a culture that did not depend on oil. We can't go back to the woods again, all 9.2 billion of us, but perhaps we can learn some lessons and extract some principles from these people that will be helpful to us.
• "Primitive People were wild animals . . . (they) were not pleasant people. They were fearful and cruel creatures, who beat and killed and robbed whenever they had a chance.
They did not have names like you and me. They had names like Umfa Umfa and Itchy Scratchy.
Now that we have that straight – – let me tell you about our plan for this presentation. We first got interested in HGs around 20 years ago. In Tom Brown's week-long wilderness survival classes in the woods, we practiced what he called "the old ways." – like shelter & friction-fire making (skills we'll be teaching at the workshop in June). We realized that instead of just practicing skills; we were actually following the lifestyle of ancient people. We began reading about these ancient ancestors. As we took more classes and read more books – we were hooked!
Tonight we're going to follow the ancient tradition of making winter the time for stories & discussion. We'll share with you what we found out about what HGs were really like.
We found neither Rousseau's Noble Savage nor Hobbes' Nasty Brute, but real, science-based descriptions. This has been a fascinating and often surprising exploration for us and we think it will be the same for you – – about what we can learn from HGs in addition to wilderness survival skills.
You have heard conflicting opinions from eminent writers, historians, and scientists. Tonight, you will get the chance to look at the evidence and decide for yourself. Let me introduce you to the subject of our presentation.
Who are these people, and what are they doing? These are the Efe Pygmies of the Zaire Rain Forest. They have just completed a successful hunt, and are dancing for joy.
The Pygmies are formidable hunters. They can even bring down Forest Elephants, but most often they hunt with nets. Each family within the group is in charge of making and repairing one segment of the net. They start from scratch, making the cordage from plant fibers. (Those of you who take our Field Class will have the opportunity to make cordage just as these people do). The net is about the height of a volleyball net but much longer – about 50 yards. The men string it up on trees and bushes and connect all the nets to form a horseshoe-shaped trap about a quarter of a mile long. The women, children, and elders drive the animals into the open end of the net by shouting and making noise.
You see, hunting is a family and group affair with Pygmies and perfectly fits their socially cooperative lifestyle.
You have been hearing their music as recorded by musicologist Louis Sarno. From time to time we will play more of their music. It is in a pentatonic scale. Keep that in mind. It will turn out to be important for you to know.
There is some confusion about the difference between Hunter-Gatherers, Indigenous people, Primitive or Tribal people, and so on. People like the Massai and Bantu of Africa, and most east coast American Indians, are not Hunter-Gatherers. They are or were horticulturalists, that is, people who till small gardens, or agriculturalists who farm, or pastoralists who herd animals.
The Hunter-Gatherers are none of these. They pursue an ancient lifestyle, which goes back to the very beginnings of Mankind.
As their name implies, they hunt animals and gather wild plants they find around them. They live in small groups or bands of 10-30 related persons, who are usually an extended family. They usually marry outside their band to others from related bands, who are in contact with them.
They have no hereditary or elected leaders. They make decisions by consensus and have a cooperative, sharing society. Of course, this doesn't mean they never get angry, jealous, or mean. However, they have created a culture in which such behavior is minimalized.
Most of their possessions are communal. They are Renaissance men and women. Everyone in the group above the age of 12-13 has all the skills necessary to live their life style, and if they should get separated from the group they could get on just fine. Contrast this with the average High School graduate in the US. Plunk them down in the middle of the Zaire rain forest or for that matter the middle of New York City and see how long they could survive without all their support systems.
Who are these people and do they still exist? Yes, they do, mostly tucked away in inhospitable corners of the world.
paragraphs as "prehistory" if they mention them at all. You get the idea that real, important history begins 7 – 10,000 years ago, with the invention of agriculture, the written word and walled cities. In fact, civilization is usually defined in this way, including monumental architecture, hierarchical social orders, & wars.
Keep in mind, however, that HGs of one kind or another have existed for a lot longer than our culture has. In fact, we have been HGs for 99% of the time that humans have walked the Earth.
In the course of this evening, you will discover what sort of beings HGs were & still are, because they are among us even now. Were they brutal, savage scavengers like Umfa Umfa & Itchy Scratchy, or were they something entirely different?
I believe that they are worthy of our scrutiny because of our relationship to them. After all, in both a figurative and a real sense, they are our great, great, great grandfathers.
Of all the recent discoveries that are changing our minds about ancient man, the Schoningen Spears top my list.
Archaeologist Helmut Thieme was digging in a peat bog, near the Harz mountains in southern Germany. He was in a hurry. An open-pit coal mine was set to expand into that area in a matter of weeks and that peat bog would be history. Instead, it became a startling piece of Prehistory.
He was working at a 50-foot depth when his assistant called him over. The assistant had found a piece of wood. That was exciting enough. Wood and other organic material are rare finds in archaeological excavations. They usually disappear quickly, victims of microbial and insect activity, leaving only hard evidence like fossilized bones and chipped flints.
But, peat bogs are different. They lack oxygen, and this condition preserves organic material. Thieme and his assistant carefully uncovered the wood. It was 6 feet long and narrow. Then they got to the tip. It had been sharpened to a point! What they had was a spear! When they got to the other end, another surprise awaited them. It too narrowed to a point. It was not only a spear, but it was a throwing spear, a javelin. All this in a layer of the bog that was known to be 400,000 years old. It was not Homo sapiens, but Homo erectus, an ancestral species who made this spear.
More surprises awaited them when they analyzed their find back at the laboratory. The spear was made from the trunk of a 30-year-old spruce tree with its anterior end toward the base of the trunk. That meant that it contained heartwood, the hardest part of the tree, where the tree rings are closest together. Furthermore, it was carved in such a way that half of its weight was in the forward third of the spear, which gave it perfect aerodynamics. That is the way an Olympic javelin is designed. . This was no accidentally sharpened piece of wood.
Back at the peat bog, they found 6 other such Javelins. Thieme's report sent a shock wave through the Paleontological world. This fellow Homo erectus, was a lot smarter than they had thought. The spears' manufacture took planning and forethought. Its existence also meant that Homo erectus was no Hyena-like scavenger, but a hunter. And, hunting implied cooperation and cleverness, perhaps even language needed to coordinate the strategy of the hunters. After all they were after large mobile game such as horses, and as thousands of butchered bones at the site testify, they were often successful. And the use of a javelin meant that the hunters did not have to get up close and personal with a quick and potentially dangerous prey animal. They could kill or wound it from afar. Next best thing to a 30-30 with telescopic sight.
Of course there were a few nay-sayers. It wouldn't be science if there weren't. One of them doubted that it was a javelin. He said that he had looked through many weighty anthropological texts and found that only 1/96 contemporary HG cultures used spears for throwing and not for thrusting. It sounded impressive.
Anthropologists love controversy. They can then speculate endlessly. Well, as the Irishman asked when he entered a bar in which a brawl was going on, " Is this a private fight, or can anyone join in"?
I joined in by asking what's the point of having a thrusting spear sharpened at both ends? (Please excuse the pun). Furthermore, how would that critic explain this [show Bushman throwing spear image – C203] I rest my case.
Most archaeological digs of ancient man are bleak places. A few trenches and some wooden stakes connected by strings, are all you can see. They give you no idea about how our ancestors lived.
Bilzingsleben in the former East Germany is different. It is a site on a wind-swept moor, along a small stream that leads into a nearby lake. It looks like a scene out of Wuthering Heights.
It clearly was a hunting camp.
Scientists have uncovered 3 small round or oval dwellings, whose foundations were made of rocks and animal bones. This immediately brought to my mind arctic river trips I have read about in which the authors found rings of rocks and bones where the Inuit Eskimos had their dwellings. Those of you who attended our first workshop may remember one of the main rules of survival – use what is handy.
The next part described brought back other memories. It was a pit, on the periphery of the camp, and far away from the other structures. It was filled with flint fragments and had anvil stones around it. I flashed back to the Rabbitstick primitive skills rendezvous that Lanie & I like to attend. There is an area set aside, far from the other busy camp activities. It consists of a pit with a few logs around it where the flint-nappers work. Flint, chert, and obsidian have the sharpest edges in the world, and they would not want the many children that frequent the camp, or anyone else for that matter, to blunder in there with bare feet. The inhabitants of the Bilzingsleben camp had obviously taken similar precautions.
There was another area away from the dwellings that was a refuse site. I guess they didn't like the idea of someone walking through the camp and carelessly throwing away banana peels or whatever. Again, we had a similar place at Rabbitsick, but I doubt that the Bilzinglebeners had garbage cans.
There were also signs of hearths.
Archaeologists also found 4 intentionally-marked elephant bones. The bones had many parallel lines, all engraved by the same instrument, and one had a zig zag, made without lifting the engraving tool. When archaeologists find such bones they assume that they are counters of some sort – perhaps calendars.
Well, of course I have been keeping you in suspense about who did all these things. Now it's time to "fess" up. The Archaelogists also found molar teeth and skull fragments, which they identified as belonging to our old friend, Homo erectus. The erectus bones were dated at 300-350 thousand years old.
A lot of anthropologists had figured that Homo erectus was hardly smarter than a Chimpanzee because he had a similar brain capacity.
Now lets see, these Homo erectus built dwellings, kept separate sanitary and tool building sites, perhaps knew fire, and kept records of something. I don't know if his references were Baboons, but I am impressed.
A couple of years ago I heard a young Peace Corps volunteer being interviewed on NPR about her experience in a remote mountain village in S. America. She had gone there to teach the Indigenous people and help them build, modern hygienic facilities such as pit toilets.
These images will give you an idea of social interaction among modern Bushmen and Pygmies.
• These people are non-hierarchical and cooperative – as when some British people taught Australian ABOs to play soccer. The ABOs caught on quickly and played well, but surprised the Brits when they played until each team had made a goal, and then stopped. They figured that was the object of the game.
Society and Economy are a chicken and egg situation, but now that you've seen a bit of the society, here is some information on their economy. As Ken described earlier, HGs were small, nomadic bands of extended family members – with no permanent dwelling, no private property, and no storage of food. They carried very little with them. If they needed a tool, it was easy to make quickly because raw materials were free and available to all (and of course they had the skills to make the tools). They had everything they needed because their needs were so simple. As Marshall Sahlins, author of Stone Age Economics, put it: "we are inclined to think of Hunters and Gatherers as poor because they don't have anything; perhaps better to think of them for that reason as free. " Free for what? to enjoy life!
What about the health of HGs? Let me ask you for a couple of estimates: what would you say is the current world-wide average life expectancy? (67) What is average HG life expectancy? (I found a range of 54.1 – 67.1) One more question: what percentage of deaths in industrialized countries are caused by cancer, heart disease, diabetes, emphysema & cirrhosis of the liver? (more than 75%) These so-called diseases of civilization are close to non-existent in HG cultures.
Now, here's a little food for thought: from a rare study on HG diet and health. Back in the 1920s and 30s, Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist practicing in Cleveland, was concerned about the cause of increasing dental decay in his young patients. He traveled all over the world and visited primitive people who were totally isolated from modern civilization and lived exclusively on indigenous diets. He concluded that tooth decay and bodily disease were promoted by nutritional deficiencies. He also observed that whenever any members of these groups adopted modern, refined foods, there would be a consistent degeneration of their health followed by that of any babies born after the change in diet.
Among the people he visited and examined were Eskimos of Alaska, South Pacific Islanders, Africans and Australian Aborigines. Although their diets varied widely, all of their diets provided fresh, whole natural materials for body building and repair, including minerals and vitamins necessary for mineral absorption. Some North Canadian Indians ate the organs of Caribou and fed the muscle meat to their dogs. Dr. Price analyzed 14 different diets that consistently provided almost complete immunity to dental decay along with high resistance to disease. Here is diversity and similarity again!
D401 / These Melanesian Island boys lived on shellfish, regular fish, fruits, greens, roots & coconuts. Although they seem to have a family resemblance, they were born on 4 different tropical islands. They are not brothers but healthy individuals expressing their hereditary racial characteristics.
D402 compare their diet with that of the Australian Aborigines who lived in the desert with little rain & infertile soil: wallaby, kangaroo and rodent – muscle & organ meat – plus insects, beetles, grubs, roots, stems, leaves, grass seed & berries. / One of these 4 women followed this diet; the other 3 exhibit the deformities & low immunity that Dr. Price found typical of those whose parents had adopted a modern diet: narrow face due to inadequate bone structure, pinched nostrils, narrow dental arches and therefore, crowded teeth. He found that traditional ABOs (many of whom never brushed their teeth at all) had no cavities, while those on a modern diet had 70.9% cavities.
D403 / Although deformities cannot be reversed, Dr. Price does indicate hope for people on our modern diet. Both of these girls are patients of his from an American family. The one on the left shows the narrow face and crowded teeth. Her birth required 53 hours of labor. Her mother subsequently changed her diet to include milk, green vegetables, sea foods, organ meats and high-vitamin butter & CLO. The younger sister on the right needed only 2 hours of labor and you can see the difference in the form of her face and teeth.
(a) An intentional burial of a 40 year-old Neanderthal, now nicknamed "Nandy" was found in the Shanidar Cave, in Iraq, and dated from 46 – 60 thousand years ago. "Nandy's most striking feature was that he had a withered right side, obviously a congenital defect. His collar bone, shoulder bone and arm bone were all underdeveloped. The arm bone had been deliberately amputated in later life, and the stump had had time to heal. In addition he had worn-down teeth, healed head wounds, and was blind in his right eye. He was a mess!
As though "Nandy" was not a startling enough discovery at Shanidar Cave, there was yet another surprise lying there. Another adult male, 50-60 years old, was found buried, and he had at least 7 species of flowers or herbs sprinkled over him. They were not just any old pretty flowers either. Most of them, such as Yarrow and Ephedra, had obvious pharmacological properties, showing a knowledge of "folk" medicine, and perhaps the hope that he would eventually be healed, even after death.
My son, the journalist, traveled to the little town of Dmanisi, in the Georgia Republic a few months ago. Besides a nice little vacation, he had another object. He wanted to look at a skull recently dug up there. It wasn't the first skull found there. There have been 7 others, all of them some form of H. erectus.
They are located on a plateau, high above the confluence of two streams, apparently an ideal place to corner food animals. Dmanisi shows all the signs of having been a H. erectus hunting camp for thousands of years. There are lots of animal bones lying around, and many of them show cuts indicating butchery. There are also hand axes all over the place.
So, what was so unusual about that skull that brought Josh thousands of mile to view it? Just this, The skull is toothless, and it also shows regrowth of the jaw after the teeth fell out. Same old question. Who took care of this guy? Did someone grind up his food so that he could swallow it? And, most important, how could this have happened if H. erectus was such a thug? Do thugs have compassion? Oh, I forgot to tell you. This skull is 1.8 million years old.
One more thing –archaeologists have puzzled over all the rounded river stones found in the camp. They had to be brought up from the streams below with considerable effort. Obviously, the archaeologist's knowledge of hunting and gathering is purely academic. They must never attended primitive skills rendezvous. If you come to our skills intensive in June, we will show you how to make a quicky discoidal knife from river stones.
Story: A few weeks ago, I happened to be in Staples, when a woman came in wheeling a baby carriage. At least I think it was a baby carriage, but it didn't look like the one I pushed my kids in long ago.
In fact, it looked more like an armored tank than a carriage. It was made of some heavy-gauge, gray-colored plastic material, and had about as many wheels as an armoured personnel carrier. However, the thing that startled me was the top. It was also of the same gray plastic material and resembled the top of a tank, complete with turret. It also had what looked like bullet-proof shielding on it that completely closed the inside of the turret to view.
And, it was the inside that I wanted to look at because from the stygian depths of that armored vehicle came an incessant, though muffled wailing that never stopped, not even for 2 seconds.
The desperation of the occupant was obvious to me, but not apparently to the mother. She appeared absolutely oblivious of the situation inside the perambulator/tank as she wheeled it up and down the aisles, picking up various items of merchandise, which she then piled on its top. How convenient!
This went on for a full 10 minutes until she arrived at the cash register, and had completely carried out her apparently complicated financial transaction. It was then, and only then, that she opened the visor of the armored vehicle, reached in, and lifted out a tiny, dark-haired, infant who was obviously only a few weeks old. She placed him/her/it against her shoulder, and the desperate wailing instantly stopped. It was obvious now what that baby had wanted.
Let us turn to a more pleasant subject, the parenting behavior of the savage iKung! or San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert. Many anthropologists have studied them. The situation reminds me of a story Joseph Campbell told about the interaction between the Navajo and anthropologists in the 1930s. The typical Navajo family he said, consists of a mother, father, child and 2 anthropologists. The point is, that Bushman parenting has been thoroughly documented.
The Bushmen raise their children together, the babies are in constant contact with their mothers and are carried everywhere all the time. San babies are never left alone. Bushman mothers sleep in contact with them, and The babies breast-feed continuously. Mothers respond to crying within 10 seconds, over 90% of the time. Can't you just see that anthropologist standing there with his stop watch?
Bushman children control their own breast-feeding, which continues for the first 3-4 years of the child's life. By the way, continuous breast-feeding stops ovulation and of course prevents fertilization. This is one of the Bushman's main ways of population control, which has worked well in a area with limited biological carrying capacity for who knows how many hundreds or thousands of years.
Is this behavior an anomaly, or is it similar to that of other Hunter-Gatherers? Let's look at the Efe Pygmies of the Ituri rainforest. After all, it is very different environment from that of the Bushmen. The Pygmies have a parenting strategy that differs in detail from that of the Bushman, but you will see that the basic principles are the same.
Pygmies bond to many babies and child care is a group activity. The babies are passed among group mothers, carried to foraging sites, and their care is shared. Please note: this is also true for males. All mothers respond to fussing, giving the breast even if it is not her baby. This multiple caretaking model fits the way of life of a social, interacting band, in which communal connections are the basis of their economic pattern and the foundation of their social system.
(L) We are very fortunate to have as our guest tonight, Dr. Jack Wright, whom some of you may know by his marital name, Oakwright. He has been a psychologist in Sandpoint since 1975 and is President-elect of the Idaho Psychological Association.
Cro-Magnon cave paintings in France and Spain, such as the "Sorcier des Trois Freres" may also represent Animal Masters or some kind of sympathetic magic, insuring the success of the The Great Hunt, which was surely early Man's greatest occupation. His view of the Earth as sacred is demonstrated in contemporary HGs like Australian Aborigines, who see animate forms in natural geography, like the "woman's legs" in NW Australia.
"The moon was full, so the dancing had gone on for longer than usual. Just before going to sleep I was standing before my hut when I heard a curious noise from the children's nearby bopi (i.e. a play field). This surprised me because at nighttime the pygmies generally never set a foot outside the main camp. I wandered over to see what it was.
There, in the tiny clearing, splashed with silver, was the sophisticated Kenge, clad in bark cloth, adorned with leaves, with a flower stuck in his hair. He was all alone, dancing around and singing softly to himself as he gazed up to the treetops.
… After watching for a while, I came into the clearing and asked jokingly, why he was dancing alone. He stopped, turned slowly around and looked at me as though I was the biggest fool he had ever seen; and he was plainly surprised at my stupidity.
If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life.

Q: Assigning cell value from another workbook to my code Basically what I want to achieve is assigning the cell value from the other workbook into my code.

*

*Customers send in a spreadsheet of goods they want to order and this spreadsheet is used for more than one purpose so it has many columns which are not needed for my purpose.

*So I created the macro to look up and give me the value from certain columns and spit out a CSV file.

*I then created a spreadsheet of my own with the column values all mapped out, I am trying to get the coding to lookup the cell value in my spreadsheet and knows which columns to be looking up on the customer spreadsheet.

*I want it so I can just go in and change the values in the cells on
my spreadsheet instead of having to go into the coding and change the
columns value in my code.

ShipToSiteID = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("Q" & counter))
AltShipTo1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("G" & counter))
AltShipTo2 = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("H" & counter))
AltShipToCity = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("I" & counter))
'AltShipToState = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("I" & counter))
 AltShipToZip = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(Range("J" & counter))
AltShipToCountry = "UNITED KINGDOM"
RefNumber = counter - 1
    UserId = LCase(Environ("username"))

ShipToSiteID = Replace(ShipToSiteID + AltShipToZip, " ", "")

Sheets(2).Select

    Range("A" & counter - 1) = LineType & comma & RefNumber & comma & QName & comma & BlanketID _
                                        & comma & BillToSiteID & comma & ShipToSiteID & comma & ContractID _
                                        & comma & PONumber & comma & CaseID & comma & ShipVia & comma & RequiredDate _
                                        & comma & Comments & comma & Priority & comma & TerminalID & comma _
                                        & AltContactFirst & comma & AltContactLast & comma & AltPhone & comma _
                                        & AltShipTo1 & comma & AltShipTo2 & comma & AltShipToCity & comma _
                                        & AltShipToState & comma & AltShipToZip & comma & AltShipToCountry _
                                        & comma & UserId & comma

A: A few suggestions...
To reference a value in workbook2 on workbook1, the easiest way to do this would be to copy the worksheet from workbook2 to workbook1. Then you can reference the value by typing "=" in the cell, and clicking on the cell that you want to reference.
Referencing in VBA code gives you some more flexibility. I'd suggest checking this good SO question and this one for more info. This may be more along the lines of what you want.
Unfortunately, if you reference a value from workbook2 on workbook1, there is no easy way to change the value of workbook2 from workbook1.

The Village Green Child Care Center was established as a consortium of the Town of Huntington, Huntington Hospital, and The Huntington Township Chamber Foundation, to serve the child care needs of the employees of these organizations, as well as the adjacent community.
Calling All Kids, Too operators of the center, has a program based on developmentally appropriate activities.
We are a New York State Licensed Center.
Our center is open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM and we provide a nutritious AM snack and PM snack daily.
The goal of our program is to provide children with opportunities that lead to positive self-esteem. During the process, children will learn to be effective communicators and will develop problem solving making and decision making skills.
We encourage children to become as independant as possible, as soon as possible.


▼ By the way, if you're the kind of person who can't enjoy movies without some snacks, go for non-buttered popcorn if you're watching on a touchscreen.
Hold on a sec, our Japanese reporter wanted to watch American movies and TV shows, where the actors and actresses are already speaking in English, with English subtitles? "Is this another one of those articles you wrote while drinking hard liquor?" I'm sure some of you are asking.
I can assure you that I am quite sober (due solely to liking my whiskey on the rocks and being currently out of ice). Actually, many Japanese people who are learning English like to watch foreign movies with the English captioning turned on. Being able to read the dialogue as it's spoken makes words and phrases that much easier to remember, and our studious reporter was looking to spend his commute polishing his language skills, no doubt to better appreciate the Pulitzer-caliber writing of RocketNews24's English content.
Still, the offer of unlimited movies and TV shows for 980 yen (US$9.40) a month was too attractive for our man to turn down, and he made the decision to sign up for Hulu's service, despite the decreased educational potential.
▼ We say it's worth it, as some of our favorite movies of last year didn't earn that title because of their dialogue.
Even with some lingering disappointment, our reporter was enjoying himself, plowing through the backlog of films he hadn't had time to see during his daily trips on the Tokyo rail system. From Hulu's standpoint, they'd gained another subscriber, so it's hard to imagine they felt bad about the situation. So imagine our reporters surprise when eight weeks later he got a second email from Hulu's customer service department, even though by that point the streaming company already had two months' worth fees from him.
1. During playback of supported titles, touch the screen.
2. Touch the round icon locate in the upper right of the display area.
3. Touch the word "Japanese," located to the right of the Subtitles heading.
4. Select English from the menu.
And just like that, our Apple-loving reporter's wish was granted. We'd like to thank Hulu for contributing to the continuing internationalization of RocketNews24, and look forward to all the new phrases our coworker will be learning from even the least-intelligible English-speaking Hollywood stars.

Poll: Early high marks for de Blasio
CNN's Ashley Killough
(CNN) - More than two-thirds of New York City voters feel optimistic about Mayor Bill de Blasio's next four years in office, according to a new poll released Thursday from Quinnipiac University.
Sixty-seven percent of voters say they're optimistic about his first term, compared to 21 percent who say they're pessimistic, the poll shows.
[twitter-follow screen_name='politicalticker']
De Blasio is the first new mayor the city has had in 12 years, and the first Democratic mayor in two decades.
Though the mayor has only been in office for a little more than two weeks, 53% of voters approve of the job he's done so far, while 13% disapprove and 34% are undecided.
His approval is lowest among GOP voters, but the liberal mayor still has a positive rating among Republicans by a margin of 40% to 28%.
"New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is having a honeymoon," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
On a side note, the survey was conducted roughly around the same time de Blasio set off an Internet frenzy when he was photographed eating pizza with a fork - a big no-no in the Big Apple.
Quinnipiac interviewed 1,288 New York City voters between January 9-15. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

Glad to see he made it through Pizzagate. I was sure Darryl Issa was going to jump all over this.
Big deal. Wait until the bills go unpaid and crime rises.
Rick McDaniel
He hasn't done anything yet........wait until they find out what he is REALLY like. The honeymoon will end quickly enough.
by the way Bloomberg was a Democrat.......in spite of the fact he called himself an independent.

I'm totally confused. Can liberals please explain this to me:
START-UP NY is a groundbreaking new initiative from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo that will provide major incentives for businesses to relocate, start up or significantly expand in New York State through affiliations with public and private universities, colleges and community colleges. Businesses will have the opportunity to operate state and local tax-free on or near academic campuses, and their employees will pay no state or local personal income taxes. In addition, businesses may qualify for additional incentives.
yeah, obama had good polls right after he was elected as well. then we all found out he is a pathological liar. now he's cratering. give this buffoon a few months and his wacky ideas will have him crashing in the polls as well.

Just stay away from eating pizza with a fork and knife. That's NOT NY and he should know it.
That being said, he just started his job but if he sticks to his campaign promises he might make it after all.

INCOMPLETE CHAIN – POLICY BRIEF
INCOMPLETE CHAIN - POLICY BRIEF ON MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION
The Kosovar Civil Society Foundation (KCSF), during the previous year has been working on defining the minimum standards for the public consultation process at government level. Apart from reviewing the international principles and practices in the field of civil society participation in decision-making, KCSF has also consulted numerous representatives from the civil society and public institutions.
This process has resulted in a policy brief on Minimum Standards for public consultation process, a document which contains an analysis of the current legal framework and its level of implementation, main
challenges of public consultation process and a detailed list of standards and sub standards that would have to be implemented by all government level institutions.
KCSF has already officially submitted this document as a proposal to the Government of Kosovo, through the Council for the implementation of the Government Strategy for Cooperation with civil society. We expect from the government to take this document under consideration and, through a comprehensive process and the participation of civil society organizations, draft a normative act that would set the minimum standards for public consultation.
The document in Albanian is available on the following link: Zingjiri i pakompletua – Propozim i politikave mbi Standardet Minimale për procesin e konsultimit publik

Lindsay Kelley | Baking together
Whatever their origin point and however we draw boundaries around them, Anzac biscuits are a culturally significant food capable of bringing us together in times of adversity.
Lindsay Kelley
Few things feel more quintessentially Australian than a golden Anzac biccie and a cup of tea. Scholars and historians have long debated every aspect of the Anzac biscuit's history, yet origin stories for the recipe remain controversial. With their long shelf life and simple ingredients, Anzac biscuits are a symbol of survival and resilience – making them the ideal comfort food for Australians and New Zealanders in challenging times. They remind us of Australia and New Zealand's past, and invite us to imagine a collective future after COVID-19, when we can share a cup of tea and a biscuit in person.

Big news out of Silicon Valley today: SunPower, the world's leading solar panel manufacturer, known for making the highest efficiency solar panels on the planet, has announced that it is bringing a large portion of its commercial solar panel manufacturing back to the US. The announcement comes four months after SunPower acquired the SolarWorld Americas solar panel manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, and reaffirms SunPower's commitment to American manufacturing jobs. Now SunPower will be making its 19-percent efficiency solar panels at the Oregon plant, utilizing the vast automation technology and 200 person workforce in its operations.
SunPower will primarily be using the new manufacturing facilities to make their high-efficiency P19 solar panels. These panels are for commercial settings only, such as parking lots or large warehouse rooftops, where space is usually not limited so the efficiency of the panel is not the most important consideration. (SunPower's residential panel, for example, provides 22% efficiency compared to 19% for P19s.) But there are already several Fortune 500 companies that have the P19s on order, so production is starting quick and large orders will begin being fulfilled in the coming weeks. SunPower is already the top commercial solar panel provider in the US, with the most Megawatts installed, so having the edge of manufacturing in America will only bolster that position.
With SunPower adding the P-19 series to it's already top of the line catalog of solar panels, they are further solidifying their status as the top solar manufacturer in the world - in both the residential and commercial sectors. The P19 in particular leverages unique cell-interconnect technology that was originally developed by Cogenra Solar. When SunPower acquired them in 2015, they immediately introduced the P-Series panels, changing the face of the commercial solar market forever. Now they manufacture them in several geographies, and the P-Series panels have become the most deployed shingled cell solar panels on the planet.
Much like SunPower's residential solar panels, the P-Series also tests on the highest levels for resistance to thermal cycling, damp heat, humidity-freeze dynamic mechanical load and potential induced degradation. These tests are performed DNV - GL, a global independent energy authority and certification body that tests solar panels for reliability and durability. Basically, they found that the P-Series panels stand up to the elements better, and produce more power for longer than other similar models of solar panels. These findings come as no surprise to those that know SunPower products, as their panels consistently test the highest in durability and reliability tests.
Today we celebrate the revival of American solar panel manufacturing as SunPower's high-quality P19 product starts coming off the line in Oregon. Now that we're in full production, we look forward to meeting our strong U.S. commercial market demand with these high-performance American-assembled panels.
The 200 jobs being added by the plant are part of a larger growth trend fueled by clean energy jobs. The just-released third annual U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER), a comprehensive look at energy jobs in America, showed the country had nearly 3.2 million Americans working in wind, solar, energy efficiency, and other clean energy jobs in 2017, outnumbering fossil fuel jobs 3 to 1. So while solar manufacturing jobs may never employ as many people as solar installation currently does, this new plant indicates that we may be on the verge of an American solar manufacturing boom that will provide good jobs to thousands more Americans in the years to come.

Your Sneak Peek at Oak Fall 2009
By Matthew Schneier
If you're a guy who prefers to skip the hassle of destroying your jeans and would rather pick them up pre-shredded, Oak's the place to be. The retailer-turned-designer previews its in-house collection for Fall tonight. It consists, as ever, of the sort of punky basics Oak's East Villager and Williamsburgher clientele loves: oversize, stretched-out tees; shaggy flannels; and denim that's already gone through the wringer. The styling ranges from everyday wearable to the more directional, but one constant is the quality—an aspect that's getting punched up even further with the new Oak Black Label line, also launching this evening. For Black Label, Oak is creating limited-edition, more luxurious versions of its staple pieces: drop-crotch sweatpants in cashmere, rather than jersey; a perforated tank in leather, rather than cotton; a poncho lined in rabbit fur. These pieces are available by pre-order only, and only tonight. And naturally, said one of the store's buyers, they're only in black. That's a relief. When you're shelling out for cashmere drop-crotch sweats, you do want to rest assured that they're going to go with everything.
Top: Melton layered parka, $389, merino V-neck sweater, $210, and Black Label cashmere drop-crotch sweatpants, $642; Bottom: Torque tee, $52, Overdye flannel shirt, $142, and Superbleach Trashed Midstraight jeans, $196, available for pre-order tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. at Oak, 28 Bond St., NYC, (212) 677-1293, and afterward (except for Black Label sweats) at oaknyc.com.

Specifies an array of storage volumes that you do not want to rescan.
NOTE: Veeam Backup & Replication will not show the excluded volumes in the backup infrastructure after the rescan.
This example shows how to assign a new backup proxy to a storage system.
Run Get-StoragePluginHost to get the storage system whose settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $storage variable.
Run Get-VBRViProxy to get the backup proxy you want to assign. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run Set-StoragePluginHost with the $storage and $proxy variables.
PS C:\PS> $storage = Get-StoragePluginHost -Name "IBM Spectrum"
PS C:\PS> $proxy = Get-VBRViProxy -Name "LocalProxy"
This example shows how to exclude volumes from of a Universal Storage API integrated system from rescan.
Run Get-StoragePluginInfrastructureVolume to get volumes that you do not want to rescan. Save the result to the $volumes variable.
Run Set-StoragePluginHost with the $storage and $volumes variables.
PS C:\PS> $volumes = Get-StoragePluginInfrastructureVolume -Name "ISCSI Volume4", "ISCSI Volume5", "NFS Volume1"
This example shows how to rescan all volumes added to a Universal Storage API integrated system.
Run Get-StoragePluginInfrastructureVolume with the Host parameter to get volumes that you want to rescan. Save the result to the $volumes variable.


There are a few things that I will never forget. First, packing 32,000 home based care kits in one night. What an awesome testimony! Second, ending 2012 with communion with 16,000 people, and starting off 2013 worshipping.
Just remember God isn't calling you to do his work; He is counting on you. Wether you end up volunteering with Hands at Work in Africa or commiting to serve in your local community God is counting on us to build His Kingdom!


Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova, Romania and Serbia are the 4 countries now set to start policy dialogues in 2019 with the goal of reducing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at national levels. Experts working on AMR and evidence-informed policy in these 4 countries recently attended a workshop where they learned how to develop evidence briefs for AMR policy. This workshop was jointly organized by the Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) Europe operating under the umbrella of the WHO European Health Information Initiative (Division of Information, Evidence, Research and Innovation) and WHO/Europe's Control of Antimicrobial Resistance Programme, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases.
Evidence briefs are user-friendly syntheses of the best available global and local research evidence to answer a specific policy problem in a concise way. Seven Member States in the WHO European Region have already embarked on developing evidence briefs on AMR since 2017.
The country teams left the workshop with a complete set of working documents, including a detailed work plan and protocol for their evidence briefs on AMR. This gives them a solid foundation on which to build their work in the coming months, with the goal of developing the briefs by early 2019 and planning for deliberative policy dialogues later in 2019.
"Our participants got a chance to learn about ways AMR is tackled in different countries; the small group setting was perfect for this exchange. I'm looking forward to seeing what solutions the teams will come up with," said Dr Saskia Nahrgang, Technical Officer, Antimicrobial Resistance, WHO/Europe.
This group was the second EVIPNet Europe cohort to receive face-to-face technical assistance and coaching from WHO/Europe and partners. The 3-day workshop was organized in Belgrade, Serbia, on 27–29 June 2018, to consolidate the training they had received online from McMaster Health Forum over the preceding month and to close the research-to-policy gap in the WHO European Region. Dr Zsofia Pusztai, WHO Representative in Serbia; Tanja Kuchenmüller, Unit Leader, Knowledge Management, Evidence and Research for Policy-Making, Division of Information, Evidence, Research and Innovation, WHO/Europe; and Dr Nahrgang opened the workshop. Dr Kaelan Moat, Managing Director of McMaster Health Forum, facilitated the training workshop, with technical support from WHO/Europe representatives.
EVIPNet Europe and the AMR programme have established a strategic partnership to support countries in developing evidence briefs focused on AMR.
Hungary was the first Member State in the Region to finalize in 2017 an evidence brief as part of the initiative. The same year, 6 additional Member States – Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia – embarked on this process and attended an initial meeting in Bratislava, followed by a writing workshop in Budapest. As a result, many are now close to finalizing their evidence briefs on AMR.
This cross-divisional initiative from WHO/Europe supports both the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance and the Action Plan to Strengthen the Use of Evidence, Information and Research for Policy-making in the WHO European Region.
