Three-Minute Reads
What is holding back UK green construction?
With vast carbon impacts, construction and housing are an obvious candidate for greening. Yet, barriers remain.
Anyone with even a remote interest in sustainability is probably familiar with these kind of figures; the manufacture of cement alone is responsible for around eight per cent of global CO2 emissions, or that when adding emissions from the building construction industry on top of operational emissions, the sector accounted for 38% of total global energy-related CO2 emissions.
It doesn't make for the most inspiring reading. And further; The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that direct building CO2 emissions need to fall by 50 per cent by 2030. This equates to around six per cent per year; a huge task by any estimation.
Yet the pace of change is nowhere near what's required. That's odd, because changing things up would add profit and longevity to the sector. Perhaps an overview of what we ought to be doing is in order…
Lighting a fire under construction emissions
UK FIRES is a major research programme, comprising a consortium of subscribing industrial partners from resource-intensive sectors working with academics from Cambridge, Imperial College, Oxford, Bath, Nottingham and Strathclyde.
Their demands are simple: all new builds should be to zero-energy standards of use. 'The impacts of construction are primarily about the use of materials: primarily steel and cement. By 2050, we will have only very limited cementitious material and will use only recycled steel, but there are myriad opportunities for radical reductions in the amount of material used in each construction.'
The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) argues that our 2050 net zero carbon target, corporate ESG drivers and increased occupier interest in net zero are just three reasons why developers and investors are becoming acutely aware of the need to deliver net zero carbon buildings.
Its Advancing Net Zero programme is helping drive the transition to net zero carbon buildings, including through its publication of the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework. In one of the UKGBC's latest guides on reaching net zero, they note that capital expenditure often trumps a focus on whole life value when it comes to green buildings.
Net zero, it appears, is increasingly well understood and desired. Yet we face an irony; within a country with an exponentially more expensive housing and buildings market and many UK homeowners mortgaged to within an inch of their means, capEx still trounces net zero. Controlling and understanding the true vagaries of price on buildings still eludes us. And that damages sustainability.
More encouragingly, UKGBC notes that more than 30 companies in the UK have now signed up to the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment, and through 2019 there was a doubling in the number of companies with a central London presence who signed up to science-based targets.
For these companies, moving to a low carbon or net zero building is one of the easiest ways to decarbonise their footprint.
Some astonishing metrics are out there on what we might be achieving. Green buildings are a global investment opportunity that could be worth $24.7 trillion by 2030, according to the International Finance Corporation.
And, institutional investors don't need convincing. Research from Warburg-HIH Invest found 51 per cent of 100 respondents were expecting a higher return on real-estate projects that take ESG into account and 70 per cent said ESG is now relevant to their investment criteria.
Here's the kicker: 'It doesn't come cheap though. And it's because of the upfront costs of designing efficiencies into buildings that there's a reluctance to update or plan new developments with sustainability in mind. Looking beyond the upfront cost is critical to encourage more capital investment.'
Better lending criteria are needed, and a wider understanding and long termism within many in the sector; corporate tenants, builders and lenders alike.
This article notes: 'Commercial real estate is poised to benefit from an expansion of ESG lending options available for projects that not only reduce their carbon emissions but meet certain key performance indicators over time. These could include how resilient a building is and whether it offers a healthy, working environment.'
How fast such ESG-oriented lending can reach the market seems absolutely key to progress.
The same old story
These barriers to building green are not new. We know upfront finance is hard to achieve. We know that often the long term impacts of a greener building are diminished when the huge initial costs are being weighted up, within an environment of high level risk and investment.
Similarly, we know what the major players have to say; UKGBC and their kin have been reporting for years on how to green up the sector.
And we know that government is demanding change, powering ahead with net zero policy and regulation, even while simultaneously ditching efficiency grants.
It makes for a puzzling mix. The writing is so evidently on the wall; the time for greener construction is here. What will it take to truly disrupt a sector that somehow, in spite of all the evidence, continues to drag its heels?

Union Kingpins Now Blame Others For Benefit-Slashing Plan They Backed
(source: National Right to Work October 2015 Newsletter)
In the "lame duck" session of Congress called at the end of last year, lawmakers voted, without ever holding any public hearings on the matter, to approve a measure altering 40 years of labor law, and paving the way for unprecedented cuts in benefits for current retirees in troubled multi-employer pension plans.
Media reports estimate that the pensions of 1.5 million future and current retirees, the vast majority if not all of them unionized, could be reduced by 30% to 65% as a consequence of the legislation, which President Obama signed into law 10 months ago.
'The Question Is When And How [Benefit Cuts] Are Going to Happen'
The so-called "Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014" (MPRA) has been and continues to be harshly denounced in public by a number of union officials as well as by diehard Big Labor supporters in Congress like Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).
But the fact is, the MPRA could never have been adopted without the support of the bosses of multiple unions whose rank-and-file members now face "a massive cut in their pension benefits," as Mr. Sanders, who is also seeking the 2016 Democrat presidential nomination, has put it.
In 2013, William Hite, general president of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry (UA), endorsed the original blueprint for the MPRA, known as "Solutions, Not Bailouts," when it was issued by a commission on multi-employer pension reform.
Mr. Hite declared that the SNB proposal, essentially identical in key regards to the measure ultimately introduced by Reps. George Miller (D-Calif.) and John Kline (R-Minn.) and adopted by Congress, would make "retirement plans more secure."
Tom Nyhan, executive director of the Teamster Union's Central States, Southeast, & Southwest Areas Pension Fund, was unapologetic about the fact that the SNB plan would cut retiree benefits sharply:
"We are going — it's not a question of if there are going to be benefit cuts. There are going to be benefit cuts. The question is when and how they are going to happen."
'This Is Going to Be a Big Hit'
National Right to Work Committee Vice President Matthew Leen commented:
"Over the course of much if not most of their working lives, the current and future retirees who belong to the plumbers, Teamsters, sheet metal workers, and other unions whose pension plans are now under the knife were forking over forced dues and fees to Big Labor bosses.
"And one of the handful of jobs that union officials were supposed to do in exchange for the hundreds of millions of dollars in conscripted money they took in was to ensure that the pensions those workers had been promised were there when the workers needed them.
"But now it's obvious that a large share of forced dues-paying workers in multi-employer plans did not have secure pensions — and union pension trustees and other union officials who had access to the books must have been aware there was a grave problem for decades.
"Plumbers, Teamster, and sheet metal union officials only began sharing the truth with the rank-and-file quite recently, when they backed the establishment of a multi-employer pension commission and then endorsed the severe cuts it recommended."
In late August, a Teamster appointee sent out a form letter to "fellow retirees" stating that they would hear from her again soon regarding Central States trustees' imminent "proposal" and "its impact on their benefits."
A few weeks later, Chicago Tribune columnist Janet Kidd Stewart profiled a couple of Wisconsin retirees who are bracing for hardship. One of the retirees, 63-year-old Bob Amsden, noted that he had accepted several pay cuts over the years so he could continue working for companies participating in the Central States plan, which he believed was secure. Regarding the looming pension cuts, he simply said, "This is going to be a big hit."
"As sad as the plight of retirees like Mr. Amsden is," said Mr. Leen, "the MPRA may have been the least-bad solution if the only alternative was a massive taxpayer bailout of union boss-controlled multi-employer pensions.
"Of course, Big Labor should have leveled with future retirees years ago. It would have given workers like Mr. Amsden time to prepare. This is another distressing illustration of just how little union bosses deserve their forced-dues privileges."

San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim introduces proposal to reclaim the promise free, public higher education in San Francisco during the press conference on the steps of San Francisco City Hall while community groups, City College faculty, Board of Trustees members and students hold signs and banners to support on Tuesday, April 19, 2016. (Ekevara Kitpowsong/ Special to S.F. Examiner)
Proposal would make community college free for SF residents
Nashelly Chavez
Apr. 19, 2016 12:00 a.m.
Supervisor Jane Kim wants free community college education available for all San Franciscans — and she plans on having The City's wealthiest residents pay for it.
Kim announced her plan to eliminate college tuition for City College of San Francisco students on the steps of City Hall Tuesday as teachers, students and education leaders rallied alongside in support.
Kim's plan, titled the Free City Proposal, would not only tackle the rising tuition costs at CCSF, but also chip away at costs associated with being a student, like paying for books, transportation and childcare. Low-income CCSF students who already receive federal or state assistance for tuition would be granted up to $1,000 per year in financial support, if the proposal is passed.
The plan would need to receive a stamp of approval by the Board of Supervisors before becoming a reality.
Currently, students attending CCSF pay $46 per unit, totaling at $1,104 every year for full-time students, as well as more than $1,700 for textbooks and supplies and roughly $1,300 for transportation, according to the 2015-2016 Student Expense Budget for CCSF. San Francisco's soaring housing prices also play a big part in hindering students' financial ability to pursue higher education, Kim said.
"CCSF has typically been the institution that has allowed our residents to rise to middle class and give them higher earning power," Kim said, adding that students with an associate degree from the community college earn on average $11,000 more per year than those who only have high school diplomas.
The proposal is estimated to cost The City $12.8 million annually, and would be implemented no later than 2017 if passed, according to Kim.
Funding for the Free City Program would come from revenue gained through a proposed "Mansion Tax" ballot measure, which Kim authored and introduced to the Board of Supervisors last December.
If the measure is passed by the board and later approved at the ballot in the November election, it could bring in as much as $29 million in new revenue for the General Fund. The measure would increase the transfer tax for both commercial and residential property sales valued at $5 million or more by .25 percent. The measure would also create a new tax bracket for property sales valued at more than $25 million, with a 3 percent transfer tax, Kim said.
"We can't stop the luxury housing market and it's impact on our city but we can ask those that are contributing to it to contribute a little bit more to make San Francisco more equitable," Kim said.
Any San Francisco resident enrolled at CCSF would qualify for the free tuition or supplemental aid, as well as students working at least half-time in The City. International and out-of-state students would not qualify for the Free City Program and would still have to pay the higher enrollment fee of $211 per unit.
The proposal could be introduced to the Board of Supervisors as early as next week, Kim said.Board of SupervisorsCCSFeducationfree collegePoliticsSupervisor Jane Kim

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a rainmaker for research
July 28, 2016 Providence Health Team
You may have taken the ALS ice bucket challenge, soaking yourself and sharing the video online. If you did, you also helped researchers make a breakthrough in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the irreversible disease that damages nerves and causes paralysis and death.
Investigators said research funded by the ice bucket challenge, which swept social media in 2014, helped them find an ALS gene called NEK1. The newly discovered gene gives researchers a new target in the fight against ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The NEK1 gene research
More than 80 researchers in 11 countries collaborated on the ALS gene mapping project, making it the largest study of inherited ALS, according to the ALS Association.
Researchers examined genes in more than 1,000 ALS families and an isolated population in The Netherlands. They also analyzed genes in 13,000 sporadic ALS patients —that is, patients who didn't inherit the disease from someone in their families. They believe the variations they found in the NEK1 gene lead to a loss of function.
Bernard Muller, an ALS patient, came up with the wacky idea of an ice bucket challenge to raise money for research. "I'm incredibly pleased with the discovery of the NEK1 gene adding another step towards our ultimate goal, eradicating this disease from the face of the earth," said Muller.
Cold challenge raises cold cash
The ice bucket challenge required people to dump water on their heads or someone else's, then challenge others to do the same. Soon, the stunt went viral. Hundreds of thousands of people—from groups of friends to celebrities and sports stars—were drenching themselves and posting video online.
It paid off – the craze raised $115 million for the nonprofit ALS Association. The group spent $1 million of that money on Project MinE, as the gene-mapping collaboration is known.
"The sophisticated gene analysis that led to this finding was only possible because of the large number of ALS samples available," said Lucie Bruijn, chief scientist at the ALS Association. "The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enabled the ALS Association to invest in Project MinE's work to create large biorepositories of ALS biosamples that are designed to allow exactly this kind of research and to produce exactly this kind of result."
The ALS Association said two-thirds of the funds raised in the ice bucket challenge will go to research and the rest to global awareness about the disease.

It's been ages, I do have plans to start writing again, and in fact this particular posting came about because I was going to write up something I just came across at work. I went to login to my site, and was presented with a 500 error. Since I've recently moved the entirety of both my sites to Azure Web Apps, I was mildly concerned as I had no real access to any of the switches, buttons or levers that make things go. I checked to see if I could login to my other site and received the same error message, which I guess is good. They are both running on the same App Service in Azure and while the actual pages would load and such I just was unable to login.
I thought about restarting the App Service itself, but chose to start small. I restarted the Web Application and was able to login, I then repeated that process on the other site and logged in to it as well.
That's when I noticed that there were some updates available, specifically the plugin for Windows Azure Storage, and WordPress itself. So I updated WP first, it took longer than HTTP was willing to hang around so I got a nifty timeout. Reloaded the page and it came back, and I updated the rest of my plugins. Then I rolled over to update this site, same process, same plugins, same timeout. Only a refresh didn't bring the site back after the plugins updated. I gave it a little more time and still I got the maintenance page. Keep in mind there is no server that I have access to, to really do anything that I would normally do. So i did a search and came across this article.
Apparently the update process drops a hidden file .maintenance in the root of the site, neat. All I needed to do was delete that file, but how do you do that when you don't have a thing to login into?
That's neat, all I needed to do then was run ls -a to make sure .maintenance was there, and then just rm .maintenance to get rid of it, refresh and the site is back up and available. I'm going to paste the contents of that page here, in case it goes away.
Not only are visitors locked out, but even the Admin is locked out of the backend.
If this happens to you, try one of the following solutions.
Again, this file rests on your server in your main WordPress install section. You CANNOT access it through the Admin area of your site. You will need to access the server through your webhost's system (like Cpanel) or via FTP.
If you do not have access to files on your server, then contact your host and let them know the problem (and the solution, of course).
a Delete the .maintenance file as outlined in option #1 above.
b Delete the plugin or theme that you were attempting to update.
c. If your site does is not back at this point, then in your wp-content folder, you will find a folder called "upgrade." Delete the files or folders you find there.
* Remember to clear the cache in your browser (or use a different browser) to make sure that you aren't getting an old version of your site.
Once you have your site back, you may want to run your updates again to make sure they've taken.

"Square Donuts" – Generic for Cafe Services?
Two businesses in Indiana are squaring off in a trademark lawsuit over the right to use the term Square Donuts for…well, square-shaped donuts.
Last month, Amazon Web Services ("AWS") announced a new application, Amazon Chime, for online meetings, including video and voice conferencing, chat, and screen sharing. Amazon Chime will compete against a crowd of other well-established products with similar services, such as GoToMeeting, Cisco WebEx, and Skype.
We had some great questions from the audience during the Mastering U.S. Trademark Registration Practice seminar in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. During the session on genericness, someone asked about MyPillow, expressing amazement that it could be federally-registered.
Trademark types know all about Park 'N Fly, whether they travel or not. That's because it is more than a nearly fifty year old airport parking and travel service brand and federally-registered service mark, it is short-hand for a famous U.S. Supreme Court trademark case from 1985.

Column: As we battle virus, don't forget 1919 Stanley Cup
March 27, 2020 En Sound Media Sports Comments Off on Column: As we battle virus, don't forget 1919 Stanley Cup
Anyone who scoffs at all these drastic measures to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, who wonders if it's really necessary to shut down sports around the world, needs a primer on the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals.
The tragic turns of events is right there on the silver chalice, engraved alongside all the championship teams.
"Series Not Completed."
Yep, there was once a Stanley Cup that had to be called off before the decisive game when Spanish flu swept through the teams.
A star player even lost his life.
As every sport grapples with this unprecedented shutdown and ponders the proper timeline to safely get its athletes back on the fields and into the arenas, a championship hockey series from just over a century ago should at least be lurking in the back of everyone's mind.
"Ï think it underscores that athletes are a lot more intimately connected than they might seem," said Steve Chapelle, who has written a book on the series, "No Decision: The 1919 Stanley Cup Final."
"You can take the fans out of the arenas to protect the players," he added Friday in a telephone interview. "But everybody on the court or on the field or on the ice still gets so close to each other."
The Spanish flu, which may have actually started in Kansas and claimed tens of millions of lives during its three-year carnage, had been raging since at least early 1918 when the Montreal Canadiens boarded a train for a grueling cross-country journey to face the Seattle Metropolitans in a best-of-five series for the Stanley Cup.
After a week of travel, which included a couple of exhibition games along the way and was capped by a ferry ride from Vancouver to Seattle, the Canadiens finally arrived in the United States to play for the title.
Chapelle's research found no mention of the flu outbreak in newspaper articles previewing the series. But it didn't take long for the pandemic to overshadow what was happening on the ice.
With the series tied at two games apiece (another contest ended in a tie), both teams were wracked by illness, sending several players to the hospital with temperatures up to 105 degrees. The Canadiens were especially hard hit, winding up with only three healthy players.
Montreal coach George Kennedy, who also fell ill, reportedly offered to forfeit the series to the Metropolitans, but their coach, Pete Muldoon, rejected the offer in a remarkable act of sportsmanship.
In the end, it didn't really matter. Health officials shut down the Seattle Ice Arena to prevent the illness from spreading even more — not long before the final game was scheduled to be played.
Just four days later, Canadiens defenseman Joe Hall succumbed to the flu. He was only 37.
"His family was summoned from Brandon," Chapelle said, referring to the Manitoba city that Hall called home. "His wife and a couple of kids, and I believe his brother, were on their way. But he died before they could get there. Frank Patrick (president of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association) had to go to the train station to give them the bad news."
Hall was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961. His biography on the hall's web site says he left "his mark on the hockey world as a warlike defenseman who himself met a tragic end."
Two years after the ill-fated series, the pandemic claimed another victim. Kennedy never fully recovered and died from lingering complications two months shy of his 40th birthday.
Chapelle originally wrote his book on the 1919 series a quarter-century ago, but a publishing deal fell through and he filed his manuscript away, figuring it would never see the light of day.
Then, after Seattle was granted an NHL expansion franchise that is set to begin play in 2021, he wondered if there might be some renewed interest in his project. He decided to self-publish and offer it up on Amazon.
As the coronavirus swept the globe, he realized the story was pertinent on a whole different level.
"No matter how big and strong and well-conditioned you might be, you're still vulnerable," Chapelle said. "When something like this gets inside of you, you've got trouble."
Seattle was a member of the upstart PCHA, which was launched in 1911 to challenge the East Coast dominance of what was then known as the National Hockey Association, the precursor to the NHL.
The PCHA was eventually recognized as an equal circuit, leading to an agreement that each league's champion would face off for the Stanley Cup beginning in 1915. Two years later, the Metropolitans became the first U.S.-based team to claim the prize, beating the Canadiens three games to one.
In the era before air travel, it was necessary to play the entire series in one location, switching back and forth in the each game between the leagues' strikingly different rules.
That's what brought the final back to Seattle in 1919 for what was supposed to be a celebration — the first Cup showdown since the end of World War I, with the Canadiens now a member of a league that had morphed from NHA to NHL.
In the end, the final produced nothing but heartbreak.
Strapped for cash, the PCHA eventually merged with another western Canadian league. The combined circuit didn't last, going out of business in 1926.
Ever since then, the Stanley Cup final has been the exclusive domain of the NHL.
Yet that tragic reminder remains on its most cherished award.
"1919. Montreal Canadiens. Seattle Metropolitans. Series Not Completed."
Not completed, perhaps, but certainly worth remembering.

The first cut is the deepest, so they say. And the first line? Well, that can heal, scar, tantalise or confound. It's like the first flirtatious whisper, or the hint that launches a thousand rumours.
It's electric, it's homeopathic…it's from Red and White by Kenneth Weene.
The great owl-scream of the white smoke whistle.
And again the sound pierced his ears.
The screak of metal on metal.
A lurch.
The boy was forced back in the wooden bench.
His breath caught and then released.
Lone Cricket watched through the dirty window as the train staggered from the station. He saw a man in a fancy checked suit and holding two cases talk through the grated window. He remembered the man who sat behind that grate — a small man perched on a high stool, a visor on his forehead even though there was no sun, his finger resting on the talking key, the one that tapped clicks and clacks along the singing wire.

A first word or two in your ear
"He had an uncanny ability to predict the past."
Tlrelf says:
A powerful beginning. . .
So, this is more than one paragraph. Does that mean we get to submit more than one paragraph, too.
I defer to Thorn, the Final Judge, on that one!
Thorn says:
And I will refer to the manual.(Don't you just hate having to do everything manually?) Oh wait! There is no manual! I just make the stuff up! OK. The idea of the contest is to demonstrate how you pull the reader in with your first sentence. You will be judged ONLY on the first sentence. If you would like to fill in a little space after that, either with an explanation of the story to come, or with enough text to give your first sentence a pedestal, be my quest.
"It was the best of times, it was the wurst of times"
Dante paid her the money, (expecting change, franc-ly) and asked for a doggy-bag.. The sausage was delicious, but it gave him heartburn. "I didn't think you were the kind of man who'd own a dog," smirked she. I don't," he retorted, "but in Paris it's easy to find some stray for my left-overs."
Salvatore Buttaci says:
I'd sooner pass up my favorite flavored ice cream for a story or novel or poem by Kenneth Weene! He rates quite high on my list of mesmerizing authors.
Michael Stang says:
Mr. Weene, what a great opener to put us in our proper places in our seats on that train. Before you start your magic there is that sound that lets the dance begin.

For the first time in the history of Formula One, teams and drivers scored double the amount of points awarded for race finish positions. The FIA implemented this in order to maximise focus on the championship until the end of the season. Originally Bernie Ecclestone wanted double points for the last three races of the season, but the teams ultimately decided to have double points for only the last race of the season. The rule change was negatively received by teams and drivers.
As a result of the double points offered for the race, Lewis Hamilton needed to finish in the top two to guarantee the championship. Under the regular points structure he would have only needed to finish sixth to guarantee the title.
Marussia did not contest the Grand Prix as a bid to save the team from collapsing failed in the week before the Brazilian Grand Prix, forcing the team to close down. They had made a last-minute attempt to race in Abu Dhabi, with rumours that they were being sought after by a potential investor. However, those negotiations fell through, ending their chances of making a return to the grid.
Facing a similar financial situation, Caterham launched a crowdsourcing campaign to attend the race, which ultimately proved successful and the team returned for the season-ending race, bringing the grid up to 20 cars. Although Caterham retained Kamui Kobayashi for the race, Marcus Ericsson had terminated his contract with Caterham a week and a half before the race, forcing Caterham to hire another driver. 24 Hours of Le Mans winner André Lotterer, who also drove for Caterham in the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix, was originally linked towards the role, but he turned down the offer. Will Stevens, a former Marussia test driver, took the drive instead and made his Formula One debut. This was also the last race for Caterham as the team collapsed before the start of 2015.
For the first time since Pirelli became the sole tyre provider, they supplied the yellow-banded soft tyre as the prime compound, while the red-banded supersoft was the option selection for the event. The previous three seasons saw the medium and soft selections used.
The FIA again tested its Virtual Safety Car system, proposed for the 2015 season, to better deal with race track emergencies following the incident suffered by Jules Bianchi during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. The version tested in Abu Dhabi, however, was not preferred to that tested at the preceding United States and Brazilian Grands Prix.
Championship leader Lewis Hamilton topped the first and second practice sessions, while teammate and championship contender Nico Rosberg topped the third and final practice session.
Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in Q1. He set the fastest time again in Q2, posting a time 0.539 seconds faster than championship rival Nico Rosberg after his teammate had scruffy laps. The situation was reversed in Q3, with Hamilton having two scruffy laps, and Rosberg took pole position with a time of 1:40.480, with Hamilton 0.386 seconds behind in second.
Red Bull Racing drivers Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo were excluded from qualifying after their cars were found to have front wings that flexed under an aerodynamic load in contravention of the sporting regulations which prohibit movable aerodynamic devices. With their times disallowed, both drivers were relegated to the back of the grid. The team was then forced to change their front wings so as to make their cars legal for the race – a parc fermé violation – and were further penalised, having to start the race from pit lane.
Romain Grosjean received a cumulative series of penalties for exceeding his quota of power unit components, totalling a twenty-place grid penalty. With Grosjean qualifying sixteenth—before Red Bull were excluded—he was unable to serve the full penalty. However, as the race marked the final Grand Prix of the 2014 season, the stewards were unable to carry the penalty over to the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, and so Grosjean was given a pit lane drive-through penalty in lieu of the remaining grid penalty.
Lewis Hamilton got a good start from second on the grid and got ahead of polesitter and championship rival Nico Rosberg by the first corner. At the end of lap 1 Hamilton had a 1.2 second lead over his teammate, which grew to 2.6 seconds by lap 22. On lap 23 Rosberg's troubles began, as he locked up and ran off the track at turn 17 - rejoining 3.9 seconds behind Hamilton - and the following lap he reported he was losing engine power. On lap 25 Rosberg had dropped to 7.1 seconds behind Hamilton, and he was told over the radio that his ERS had failed. Over the following laps Rosberg dropped down the field. Hamilton began to lower his pace - avoiding kerbs and asking his team to keep the engine turned down - in an effort to avoid suffering the same fate as his teammate. This allowed Felipe Massa to make gains on the race leader over the following laps. As Massa emerged from his final stop - putting on the super-soft tyre - he was 11 seconds behind Hamilton, and with fresh tyres he started to close the gap. However it was ultimately not enough, as Hamilton increased his pace by just enough to keep Massa in check. Hamilton crossed the line 2.5 seconds ahead of second-placed Massa to win the race, and with it his second world championship. Valtteri Bottas took the final podium position, giving Williams their first double podium since the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix. Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel, who had both started the race from the pit lane, finished in 4th and 8th respectively, after Ricciardo managed to pass Kevin Magnussen early on in the race while Vettel got stuck behind him, which had the knock-on effect of causing him to be stuck behind the Force India cars later in the race.
Rosberg ultimately finished down in 14th, as his car situation got even worse in the closing laps. On lap 53 he was advised over the radio to retire the car, as his chances of scoring any points were effectively over and his car had developed too many problems. However, Rosberg responded by saying he would like to go to the end and finish the race, which he ultimately did.
Ahead of the podium ceremony, Nico Rosberg entered into the cooldown room to congratulate championship rival Lewis Hamilton on winning the title. Hamilton later paid tribute to Rosberg for his graciousness in defeat.
Although Rosberg suffered an energy recovery system (ERS) failure and dropped out of the points during the race, he acknowledged that his problem did not make a difference to the championship outcome in the end, as Hamilton would have had to finish 3rd or lower for him to have a chance of winning the title anyway.
Mercedes set two new records, the first being 701 total points, the second being the margin of 296 points to second-placed Red Bull-Renault.
^1 — Romain Grosjean qualified in sixteenth but was demoted four grid places as part of twenty-place penalty for using his sixth power unit of the season.
^2 — Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel originally qualified in fifth and sixth respectively, but were excluded from the qualifying results and were relegated to the back of the grid for illegal front wings.
^3 — Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo were further penalised for having their front wings replaced after qualifying, which violated parc fermé regulations even though the wings were deemed illegal, and were forced to start from the pit lane instead of the back of the grid.

Play Slots Games
It's fun to play slots games and often very rewarding too! In fact, of all the types of casino games out there, they're easiest to get to grips with, making them ideal for new players. There's no complex rules to learn, like with card or table games, no guesswork required to tell what's going on, everything is always very clear and self-explanatory and, with just a single spin, you're off!
So, what are slot games? What are the different kinds of slot games? How do you play them? Where are the best online casino sites to play them at and, most importantly, how much can you win? Read on to learn all of this and more!
The best places to play slot games
So, where should you go? Well, we've listed all the best places to play slots games on this site, and we're always on the lookout for new brands featuring great new offers and games. Plus, we're also keeping a special eye out for all those juicy free spin offers, so you can try new games out and maybe even win a little something for free!
What are slot games?
Slot games are games based on original mechanical gaming machines popular in casinos throughout the world for over a century. Their name comes from the fact that you must first put some money in the slot in order to crank the handle and spin the reels.
As with many of the best table and card games, including poker and blackjack, slot games are actually a product of the Old West. (Which also explains the old American nickname, the one-armed bandit.)
The first slot machine was invented by a man called Charles Fey, in 1899. It was called the Liberty Bell, and, despite its age, would be instantly familiar to anyone who's ever seen a slot game before.
It consisted of three spinning reels each with five distinct symbols – get three in a row and you win!
The symbols we most associate with slot games, such as bars, cherries, lemons, and simliar fruit images, came later.
You probably know that it's from these early games we get the term, "fruit machine", but did you know they actually used to pay out in little sweets instead of cash? Get three cherries in a row and you'd get some cherry flavoured gum. This was an attempt by machine manufacturers to side-step US gambling laws, though ultimately an unsuccessful one.
In states where gambling was permitted, most famously Nevada, slot machines quicky evolved and thrived, going from mechanical to electrical, and eventually digital, yet in many cases retaining that classic "fruit" imagery.
As the internet became faster and more affordable, meanwhile, the world of slots went online, bringing even more exciting and varied gameplay, and more ways to win big than ever before!
How to play slots games
It's easy to learn how to play slots games. It's really as simple as placing a bet and clicking Spin.
That said, we always urge you to check out the demo versions so you can get a feel for the game first, before you start playing for cash. Every game is slightly different, so knowing in advance you can better adapt your playing style.
The basic type is your three reel variety. Based on the old mechanical slots this is known as a classic, or pub, slot (but is also sometimes referred to as a "fruit machine".) This type of slot might also have just a single payline – match three symbols in the centre row to win. In terms of symbols, they're the classic symbols with bars, cherries, 7s, lemons, other types of fruit, and so on.
Next you have multi payline slots. The most basic being a pub slot but one with three winnable paylines top, centre and bottom.
From there we go to 5×3 slots, three reels but five symbols wide, and a variety of different combinations.
The more reels, columns and different symbols available, of course, the more ground there is to cover, but there's also more variety. So you get potentially bigger wins (for more improbable combinations) as well as more ways to win (more different combo types.)
Many of the most popular slots also give you multiple paylines, not just horizontal rows but also snazzy zig zag patterns – if you look at each game's help file you can find out exactly how many different ways to win there are. There's no shortage of great slots offering you litterally thousands of ways to win!
To add even more excitement into the procedure, you have special Wild symbols (which can automatically change into another symbol to create a winning combo) and Scatter symbols, which can trigger bonus rounds or impact the gameplay in unpredictable but lucrative ways.
Of course now, in this day and age, what with Playstations and Xboxes and so on, slot game developers aren't just competing on gameplay options and ways to win, they also have to bring the wow factor too.
Which is why you'll also see lots of jaw-dropping graphics, live sound and a whole range of bonus games and features, including cinematic cut-scenes and/or battle sequences. This is particularly true of branded slots, for example those based on popular action movies or comic book heroes.
These types of games are always popular, but surely the most popular type of slot is what's known as a progressive slot. Unlike regular slot games, where all the various amounts you can win are set in advance, progressive slots have not set top prize. Instead there's a special jackpot based on how much has been paid into it.
So, you could have millions of players all over the world playing the same game and paying into it. Then, if you manage to get the right combo and hit the jackpot – Boom! All that money is yours!
Not surprisingly, sites love to brag about their progressive jackpots and often feature them prominently – keep an eye out for little scrolling tickets listing winners and see how much they won. With progressive slots six-figure jackpots are not unheard of!

Britt Marie Hermes (née Deegan) is a former-naturopathic doctor who rejected naturopathy and now speaks out against alternative medicine. Hermes earned her ND from Bastyr University in 2011. In 2014, Hermes reported her supervisor, Michael Uzick, to the Arizona naturopathic medicine board and the state attorney general for injecting ukrain, a drug without FDA approval, into cancer patients. As of 2017, Hermes is Ph.D. candidate in evolutionary biology at the University of Kiel in Germany.
While Hermes practiced naturopathy in Arizona, she claims to have "witnessed illegal, and other dangerous, inept, and unethical practices by licensed naturopaths." She also claims to have been counseled by a colleague to ignore wrongdoing by other colleagues.
Naturopaths should not be allowed to call themselves "doctor" or "physician" because they do not have medical training that is comparable to medical doctors.
Naturopaths should be prohibited from treating children.
Naturopaths should not be granted medical licenses.
In July 2017, Hermes received a notice of cease and desist for alleged defamation from the lawyers of Bastyr University. The lawyers claimed that Hermes made several false statements regarding the quality of education at Bastyr University on her own blog, on Forbes and on three other websites (www.science20.com, www.kevinmd.com, and www.sciencebasedmedicine.org).
In August 2017, Hermes also received a notice of cease and desist for alleged defamation from the lawyer of naturopathic doctor Colleen Huber. Huber runs the cancer clinic "Nature Works Best Cancer Clinic" in Tempe, Arizona. Huber also is president of the non-profit charity Naturopathic Cancer Society, which according to Hermes raises donations for patients at Huber's own clinic, though Huber's lawyer has disputed this.

Tillerson visited Turkey to discuss fight against ISIS and Gülen
March 31, 2017 Ahmed Rashed Turkey Latest News
United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım early on March 30 as part of his trip to Ankara, with the two leaders discussing developments in Syria and Iraq as well as the joint fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
As the highest-level representative of the Donald Trump administration to visit the Turkish capital so far, Tillerson will also meet President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, and will give a joint press conference with the latter.
A short statement issued by Turkey's Prime Ministry highlighted the fight against ISIL as well as Ankara's demand for the extradition of Pennsylvania-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, believed to be behind the July 2016 coup attempt, as issues discussed by Tillerson and Yıldırım.
The two agreed to continue high-level official talks in the coming period, it added.
Tillerson's delegation includes Brett McGurk, the special representative of the administration on the fight against the ISIL who is also believed to be the master of the U.S. strategy to ally with local Syrian Kurdish groups in the anti-jihadist fight. McGurk was appointed to his position by the Barack Obama administration but was asked to continue his job under the new government in the U.S.
Turkey considers the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG) to be terrorists aligned with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and is pressing Washington to cease its cooperation with them.

Module10: Why OER Matters
Before we start talking about Open Educational Resources (OER), let's briefly discuss the concepts that provide a foundational context to understanding OER, Copyright & License.
Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship.
When is my work protected?
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.
This means that the work must exist in some physical form for at least some period of time, no matter how brief. Virtually any form of expression will qualify as a tangible medium, including the scribbled notes on the back of an envelope that contain the basis for an impromptu speech.
What does copyright protect?
Copyright protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture.
Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.
Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.
Do I have to register with the U.S. Copyright Office to be protected?
No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. However, you will have to register if you wish to file a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work.
Although unnecessary, many still choose to register their works because they wish to have their copyright on the public record and have a certificate of registration.
So, if you created your original work in a tangible form, you are now a copyright owner. This connects us to another critical concept: License.

What Preventative Maintenance is Needed on a New Edge Mustang?
by Brian Grabianowski linkedin on August 27, 2021
The SN95 chassis was one of the Mustang's longest-lasting generations. Towards the end, in 2004 there were very few recalls, and almost all had to do with aftermarket lamps. Owners consider the 4.6-liter engine as one of the most reliable engines Ford has ever built, though they weren't without problems. That said, there are some preventative maintenance owners can do to elongate their Mustang GT's life. Most of it is simple and cheap, while some of it may require a couple of jack stands and some elbow grease. Staying on top of this maintenance can ensure a 4.6-liter will last to 300,000 miles.
Change the PCV valve every 30,000 miles

A common point of maintenance with the 4.6-liter is its positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. An engine's crankcase produces gasses from burned fuel, so the PCV valve reroutes those gasses back into the combustion chambers. Before the PCV valve, those gasses were routed to the exhaust. The PCV valve is part of an engine's emissions equipment. Prices can range from $10 for an aftermarket one or $50 for an OEM Motorcraft part. It can be found screwed into the passenger side valve cover with a hose attached.
Transmission fluid should be looked at every 30,000 miles

Owners recommend changing fluids every 30,000 miles or so. This includes flushing the radiator and replacing the gear oil in both the rear end and the transmission. Luckily Ford made all of this relatively easy to do. Removing the gearshift makes replacing the transmission fluid much easier, as it can be filled from the top instead of with a pump underneath the car. There's a drain plug that's easily accessible on the underbelly of the transmission.
Differential oil needs some attention

Differential gear oil is a little more complicated, but not much more difficult. Remove all bolts holding the differential cover except the top one, pry the cover away from the differential and allow all the fluid to drain out through the gap at the bottom. After the fluid drains, remove the cover entirely and clean everything with brake cleaner.
Scrub the cover gasket mating surfaces thoroughly, and replace the cover with a new gasket. Looking straight on at the differential cover, the filler plug sits at the top left, where the axle housing meets the differential. Pump fluid in until it starts to come out, and then plug it back in. The Mustang uses an 8.8-inch differential, and all 8.8s take two quarts of ATF.
Keep up with basic checkups
SN95 New Edge Mustangs have a recommended regimen of preventative maintenance which should happen fairly often. Owners should check their exhaust, heat shielding, the cooling system, the braking system, and non-sealed steering linkages every 15,000 miles. At a certain mileage, owners should check serpentine belts and the cabin air filter as well. It takes some time to check all of these things independently, but a trained mechanic can inspect all of these parts in about an hour. As long as the car is cared for, it can last forever.

Q: Appending charaters in a string I am trying to append characters in a string but I am getting problem with the loop. I don't know the command to append characters in the string:
import string
import random

def main():
  generateRandomNumbers()
def generateRandomNumbers():
    nameLength = 10
    for i in range(nameLength)
       x = random.choice(string.ascii_lowercase )
       uname.append(x)
    print (x)
size = 0
nameLength=0
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I am getting following error message:
File "Fl.py", line 8
    for i in range(nameLength)
                             ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

A: You are getting the syntax error because you are missing a colon at the end of your for loop. It should look like this:
for i in range(nameLength):

As Kenan has already said, I would recommend using the + operator to append to a string. This article has some decent examples that should put you on the right path.

I've lived in Boston for 16 years this coming May, but I only just yesterday finally went to the Boston Tea Party Museum. It's really a lot of fun! I didn't do the tour this time; my friends Ailsa and Stephanie were in town, and we just did the gift shop and the tea room.
You can see the building I live in from the museum, which is located in the middle of the Congress Street Bridge. I could see the Tea Party Museum from my building, too, if it were larger!
The gift shop is pretty elaborate, and they actually sell really good quality items along with the usual tourist stuff.
They sell the types of tea that were tossed off the boat 16 December 1773.
Mini-Jacoby was interested in checking out the replica ship.
They also had these little colonial mice which he found quite interesting.
After the gift shop, we visited the Tea Room, where you can get scones and other baked goods, sandwiches and soups, hot apple cider (with or without rum)…and, of course, tea.
On the tables, there are period board games like Shut the Box and Nine Man Morris.
At our table, we had a Nine Man Morris board with the flag of New England embazoned on it. Mini-Jake wanted to play…but he couldn't quite move the pieces. I didn't do the actual tour this visit…I am saving it for next week, when we plan to do not only the tour, but also the Tavern Night dinner.

Articles, Economy & Tech
Agriculture and Industrialization in Africa
by Wale Giwa
Today, Africa has more countries with economic backwardness than any other continent in the world. Africa has been relegated to the fourth world. Even Nigeria, the economic hub and giant of Africa, is currently facing an economic recession for the second time in her history. Given this plight, the obvious question that comes to mind is; how can Africa expunge herself from the bottomless pit of the fourth world? Answers to this question, forms the main thrust of this article. At this juncture however, it is expedient to give a concise and detailed analysis of how Africa's economy came to be in shambles.
Africa indeed, has the longest and oldest economic history in the world. Historically speaking, agricultural practices in Africa first reared its head in the Sahara desert in 5200 BC. Despite the limited rain of the region, farming was quite easy due to it wide open fields. Africans at that time were all farmers and hunters. In fact long distance trade between states existed in pre-colonial Africa. An example of this was the agricultural trade between Egypt and Sudan. Other factors that aided economic growth in pre-colonial Africa, was the expansion of the Bantu culture which began in southern Cameroon and spread to all other parts of Africa. The Swahili culture also began to expand from the eastern part to all other parts of Africa.
As a result of these expansions, African farmers were able to make trade with other countries outside Africa, between 300 and 700 AD. An example of this trade was one between Zimbabwe, South Africa and China, India, in which the African states traded beef, ivory, iron and gold to foreign States. Also there were agricultural trades in the forest region of Africa, especially amongst the Yoruba people of West Africa. Vegetables, meats, beef, meat, maize, yam and other agricultural goods, were traded amongst themselves using seashells, called Cowries, as means of exchange.
Given this historical analysis, it becomes crystal clear that the agricultural economy of Africa was robust. At that time, Africa had one of the richest economies in the world. However, it is also obvious that the dominant kind of economy in pre-colonial Africa was agriculture, farming and hunting. Africa at that time also had the manpower to boost her agricultural economy. In a single sentence, Africa was an agricultural continent. But the table was turned around with the coming of the Europeans to Africa.
"One of the factors that led to the colonization of Africa was economical in nature."(Chiakwu). Before the 19th century, the economic relationship between Europe and Africa was on an equal basis. Trades were made with Africa's coastal States. But in the early 19th century, this mutual atmosphere witnessed a sudden dramatic change. European countries were no longer contented with making trade deals with the coastal States in Africa. They wanted to invade and dominate the whole African continent, basically for reasons that were not farfetched.
The industrial revolution that swept across Europe, had led to the mass production of goods, and the need for raw materials to feed the industries. To achieve this, they needed to build industries elsewhere for their manufactured goods, and a place which had access to raw materials, Hence, their domination of Africa. Thus, by the 1890's, all the States in Africa, except Liberia and Ethiopia, were conquered and dominated by the European powers- Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium. It was at this point that the Europeans tactically converted Africa, from an agricultural continent, to an industrial continent, just to satisfy their selfish needs. This invasion and occupation of Africa by the Europeans, was later known as "The Scramble for Africa". Hence at this juncture, it is completely safe to affirm that the economy of pre-colonial Africa, was rearranged to serve European industries.
From the foregoing, it is very obvious that the industrial economy ushered in by the Europeans, was completely alien to Africa. African states were not used to this kind of industrial economy. Africans were indigenous farmers, Hunters and traders. During this period, Africans found themselves struggling to fit into this industrial economy. Unfortunately, Africans are still struggling to fit into this industrial economy, even till today. Perhaps this is the cause of economic backwardness in Africa. Even with the global advancement and widespread of education, science and technology, Africa is still struggling to fit into an industrial economy.
However, without being too negative about the Europeans, it is important to affirm that their coming to Africa had positive consequences. Their introduction of industries in Africa meant that Africans could now trade with other countries and continents in a modern way. The latter, which had been done traditionally, but the negative aspect in that this industrial revolution in Africa, created industries that were basically meant to serve European industries. In fact, this article will argue that industries in Africa are still serving European industries today, hence, the current problem of economic backwardness, unemployment, corruption and nepotism.
"Without strong industries to create jobs and add value to raw materials, African countries risk remaining shackled by joblessness and poverty" – Lawrence Mbae.
According to a 2013 report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), "Africa possesses 12 percent of the world's oil reserve, 40 percent of its gold, and between 80 percent and 90 percent of its chromium and platinum." Even with this, it is quite unfortunate that Africa's economy is still in shambles. Perhaps modern Africans no longer have the passion for that kind of indigenous trade and agriculture that existed in pre-colonial Africa.
Today, it is unfortunate and sad that most African youths are filled with the mentality of getting white collar jobs in industries that only serve European industries. No one is thinking of embarking on agriculture to feed their Nation. As earlier stated, Africa's economy today is still serving European industries. A typical example of this is quite evident in Nigeria.
Today, Nigeria is the sixth largest oil producing Nation in the world, which export 80 percent of her oil, but still depend on foreign countries to refine her oil for local consumption. On an agricultural terrain, Nigeria still imports foreign agricultural food in spite of her large forests and fertile lands.
Another example is Ghana, that produces 53 percent of the world's cocoa, but the shops and supermarkets in the country, are still being stocked with imported Candy. Given this problem, an economic backwardness in Africa, becomes inevitable.
In all, if Africa's economy must become buoyant again, her industries and farms must put an end to serving European industries. Her industries must now focus on serving its own citizens, and embark on foreign and local trades only, rather than serving foreign industries.
On an agricultural level, African youths should channel their thinking towards agriculture, rather than white collar jobs. "There is also money in getting your hands dirty." – Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Therefore, African youths should become modern educated farmers and provide goods that will serve their people, and also move forward to establish equal trades with foreign and local countries. When this is done, Africa's economy in a modern way will gradually become robust and buoyant again, hence, solving the problem of economic backwardness in the continent.

Intermediate+ Word of the Day: buckle
buckle (noun, verb) /ˈbʌkəl/ LISTEN
A belt buckle
A buckle is a rectangular flat clasp fixed to the end of a belt or strap and used for fastening, or connecting, the two ends of it together. It is also any similarly shaped object used for decoration. As a verb, buckle means 'to fasten, or close, with a buckle' and also 'to bend the body because of fatigue.' It also means 'to bend by applying heat or pressure' and, figuratively, it means 'to collapse due to stress.' It can also mean 'to apply yourself to something with energy or vigor.'
The buckle on my belt broke. I'll have to get a new one.
The woman wore a decorative buckle on her cloak.
The student put her books in her bag and buckled the straps.
The bridge eventually buckled because of the weight of cars passing over it every day.
The weight of the roof buckled the pillars.
James had been working too hard for months and he finally buckled.
The workers all buckled to the task.
Words often used with buckle

In reference to a person, buckle up can also mean 'to bend the body, normally because of pain or laughter.' Example: "The comedian was so funny that everyone in the audience was buckled up laughing!"

Listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers singing "Buckle Down" here:
Buckle is used to refer to applying yourself to a task or making an effort because originally it meant 'to prepare for battle,' by association with fastening armor.
buckleless (adjective)
Buckle dates back to the early 14th century, as the Middle English noun bukel, meaning 'spiked metal ring for holding a belt or strap.' It came into English from the Anglo-French boucle or bucle and the Old French bocle, which originally meant 'the boss of a shield,' then expanded to 'shield,' and finally expanded again to 'buckle or metal ring.' It can be traced back to the Late Latin buccola (boss of a shield), and the Latin buccola (the cheek strap of a helmet), originally a diminutive of bucca ('cheek' and later, 'mouth'). Buckle is related to the French boucle (buckle), and the Spanish boca, Italian bocca and French bouche, all meaning 'mouth.' The verb, meaning 'to fasten with a buckle,' dates back to the late 14th century, as the Middle English verb bokelen, and comes from the noun. The sense 'to apply yourself with vigor to something' was first used in the mid-16th century, and probably developed from the idea of putting on armor for battle. The verb, meaning 'to distort, wrap or bend out of shape,' dates back to the early 16th century, as the Middle English bokelen, which in this case came into English from the Middle French boucler (to bulge), from the same source (bocle) as the other meanings. The sense 'to bend under strong pressure' was first used in the late 16th century, and figuratively in the mid-17th century.
