Although the origin is unknown, it is believed that it got there to the current Rueda (Valladolid) region during the XI century. In those years the Duero basin was replanted. The Mozarab people who arrived in Castilla are the ones who probably brought the Verdejo variety with them.
Considered native from the zone, the Verdejo represents 85% of the total vineyard of the Certificate of Origin Rueda. Adapted to the continental climate and to the characteristic "cascajos" soils (river stones) of the certificate of origin, it is one of the Spanish most representative white quality grape. Its characteristic scents ( white fruit, fennel or boxwood ) and the bitter hint make it unmistakable.
The production zone protected by D.O.Rueda is formed by 74 municipalities, the majority of them being in the south of the Valladolid province and the rest in the west of Segovia and the north of Ávila. Most parts of the vineyards are in the boundaries of the Valladolid municipalities of Rueda, Serrada and La Seca where our Villachica Verdejo is from.
Legally recognised in 1980, it was the first Appellation of Origin in the Castilla y León Province.
74 townships spread over 3 regions of Castilla y León: 53 at the south of Valladolid, 17 east of Segovia and 4 north of Ávila. 95% of the production is white wine.
Located in the central zone of the Duero River hollow, a high plateau of smooth topography and alluvial terracing.
Brown, rocky lands rich in calcium and magnesium with good aeration and drainage. The best vineyards from D.O. Rueda are found in what is called gravelly soils, brown soils above rocky deposits.
13,000 ha in production. 92% of the plantations are found in the Valladolid Province.
Between 700 and 800 meters high.
Verdejo variety in gravelly soils.
Continental with cold and long winters, short springs with late frosts and hot and dry summers. Rainfalls between 300-500 liters per year and 2,600 hours of sun per year.

I've spent the last month relentlessly tweaking ENMTools-R's code to make it CRAN-compatible, and we're pretty much there now. Most of the changes aren't visible from the user's end of things, but they're necessary to make sure that it's suitable for wider distribution. I've tested everything, and it seems to all be working.
THAT SAID, it's entirely possible that something has been borked up that isn't popping up in my own code. If you download ENMTools from the GitHub repository and notice it acting weird in some way, please don't hesitate to raise a GitHub issue about it.
Also, there's a nice new function called raster.cor.plot that does this:
Which is pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. It's visualizing the correlations between a set of predictor rasters.
Best to avoid using B1 breadth metric in environment space
This just came to light relatively recently: the latin hypercube version of the B1 metric in environment space is probably not trustworthy as currently implemented. Due to the combination of standardizing the distribution and the use of logs in the calculation, there's a dependence on sample size that makes the metric fail to converge. For an illustration, here's B2 as a function of sample size:
That's behaving as you'd like it to - seems to be converging on a relatively stable value, not changing much with additional sampling (note the scale of the Y axis).
Now look at B1:
There's an obvious trend here with increasing sample size, and the scale of the Y axis is such that those differences could be quite significant.
At some future date we may figure out how to adjust for this, but for now I'd say just avoid using B1 in environment space altogether.

Q: How to output a .csv of my query records on my remote MySQL client? I am running a MySQL Client on a Raspberry Pi, and I am running the following query to retrieve the most recent records:
SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM my_table
where '2017-01-19 09:00:00' > TS
  and '2017-01-19 05:00:00' < TS
order by TS desc
limit 5000;

Since I am trying to write the output of the query to a file on my Raspberry Pi, I am running the following command from my terminal:
mysql --host=localhost --user=my_username --password=my_password -e "SELECT TOP 100 * FROM db.my_table where '2017-01-19 09:00:00' > TS and '2017-01-19 05:00:00' < TS order by TS desc limit 5000;"> testcsv.csv

When I am looking at the host machine, it tells me that I am connected and the status is "Creating Sort Index".  I'll refresh the connections, and my connection no longer appears, and I run to check my Raspberry Pi to see if the command finished executing.  The command has not finished executing on my Raspberry Pi and nothing seems to happen.
Does anyone know what could be going on here?  Am I writing the file to my Raspberry Pi correctly?  The query is large, so could it be timing out?
EDIT:
I revised my Limit to 10, but I am receiving an error that Identifier Name is too long.  What is my identifier name?

A: First, did you try to set the query to a more manageable size, say LIMIT 10 instead of LIMIT 5000, to see if it works? Secondly, looking at your query, should it be FROM database.my_table than FROM my_table? Other than that your query looks okay.

Fresh Hope for Depression
New treatment uses magnet to stimulate the brain
By Julie Walsh
Bob Cronin says depression is like a dark cloud that renders him unable to function.
"I don't want to do anything," says the 67-year-old, describing the debilitating condition he's battled for 15 years. "I become rude. I become cold. I don't want to interact." Even eating and brushing his teeth can be a struggle, he explains.
Cronin tried various treatments over the years, which either didn't work or brought substantial risks and side effects. But now, the husband and grandfather says he's finally found ongoing relief through an innovative treatment that's helping people across SJ and beyond.
The procedure, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), "is life-changing and life-saving," says Bob, an actor and retired teacher.
Dr. John O'Reardon demonstrates TMS
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate part of the brain – the left prefrontal cortex – that helps regulate mood and handle decision-making. The area is often less active in people with major depression.
"It's like when a program in a com-puter is offline," says TMS expert John O'Reardon, MD, a psychiatrist with Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. "We re-energize the neurons, which brings the circuits back online."
The result: More than half of patients feel much better or are no longer depressed, according to O'Reardon, director of Rowan's Center for Mood Disorders and Neuromodulation Therapies in Cherry Hill. What's more, TMS is only recommended for those who haven't responded to one or more courses of antidepressants. By comparison, antidepressants are effective in only about 15 percent of such "treatment-resistant" patients, explains O'Reardon. (TMS treatment has not been thoroughly studied for people who have failed two or more trials of antidepressants or for people who have not been on antidepressants, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.)
"The level of response [to TMS] varies," he adds. Patients who receive ongoing maintenance treatments "do better over time, have fewer mini-setbacks and are more stable."
TMS treatment is non-invasive and as convenient as going to the doctor's office. The patient sits in a recliner while the physician or nurse holds a wand to a precise spot on the patient's head. The wand, connected to a microwave-size machine on a cart, delivers a series of electromagnetic pulses to the left side of the forehead – 50 pulses in five seconds, then a 15-second rest before the next set. The pulses pass through the skull, landing at their target in the brain. Each treatment session lasts about 25 minutes – delivering a total of 4,000 pulses – and no recovery period is needed. The magnetic field is the same strength as a typical MRI scan – 1.5 to 2 Teslas, O'Reardon notes.
The pulses cause a prickly, tingling sensation where the wand touches the skin. Patients hear a tapping sound, but they can talk, read or use headphones during the treatment.
Some people get soreness on their scalp. Patients can also get a headache, usually right after treatment, but the pain is typically mild and brief, says Amanda Helmer, RN, TMS program coordinator for the Rowan mood center.
There's a small risk of seizure during treatment – less than one in 10,000 patients, she says. (That side effect has never occurred to one of his patients over O'Reardon's 17 years of TMS research and clinical practice, he reports.) Also, because the treatment is relatively new, long-term side effects are unknown, cautions the National Institute of Mental Health.
O'Reardon recommends that patients initially undergo five sessions per week for six weeks, for a total of 30 sessions "when trying to get out of the hole of depression. Some may only need 20 sessions; some may need more."
Cronin received his initial treatments in 2008, and is now on a maintenance schedule of one session every two weeks.
"My wife knows when I've missed a treatment," says the genial former theater-department head for a Philadelphia-area prep school. "TMS brings me back to the person I was before my depression started getting really bad."
About 40 percent of patients, like Cronin, stay on a maintenance schedule of treatments indefinitely.
"Some people are afraid to stop, because they felt so lousy before," notes O'Reardon.
Cronin continues to receive talk therapy as well to help address his long-term goals and organize his life. "TMS sets you up and gets you going. Talk therapy makes you enter the world again," he says. "It's like, 'Now that you're feeling better, what are you going to do?'
"I can feel the cloud pushing back," Cronin adds. "It's like all of a sudden you get this blast of positive energy. Life is good; you're not in a fog."

Understand the Bauhaus!
"It's striking! You have to hear us – you'll be thinking of us."
From the rhythmical noise of the Bauhaus band to the inspiring art of the fugue, to the performances of contemporary composers: Life at the Bauhaus was always accompanied by background music, though it was not even on the curriculum.

Everyone was waiting for Weiniger. When Andor Weininger came onto the stage at the end of the happenings of the Bauhaus band, "noise" would be transformed to "deepest silence". The students who were dancing wildly one minute to the "fantastic-rhythmical and piercing noise" of the partly home-made instruments, "sat on the floor in front of the stage" in clusters the next minute following Andor Weiniger's performance. These were a mix of abstract songs and cabaret acts that were so touching that tears and the sweat from dancing would mingle, as the Bauhausler Xanti Schawinsky later described. The stirring Weiniger moments were, however, also important for another reason. Following his performances the actors of the Bauhaus stage often spontaneously "presented their theatre experiments in the making". Oskar Schlemmer acted as a musical clown or Jost Schmidt performed a solo wrestling match. According to Schawinsky the Bauhaus band and Bauhaus stage were "always closest" on these occasions.
When thinking of Bauhaus and music, the Bauhaus band immediately comes to mind. Retrospectively it seems all the more legendary, as there are no remaining recordings, but instead enthusiastic and at the same time somewhat helpless attempts to describe their playing. "They're the best jazz band that I have ever heard ragging, musical all the way to their fingertips" Jan Kole Kokke rejoices in the Berliner Tageblatt in 1924. And on a promotional card the Bauhaus band itself summarises the effect they have as follows: "as you can see we survive all storms, we play our music, a funky and utterly gripping rhythm! It's striking! You have to hear us – you'll be thinking of us."
The Bauhauslers had already founded an ensemble in Weimar. It quickly became famous, as it did not only perform at Bauhaus festivals, but also made guest appearances in other cities, promoting the school. They played classical instruments such as the trombone, banjo and clarinet, but also the so-called flexatone, a mix between a string and a percussion instrument, or even aided by tuning forks or colts. They played jazz classics, popular tunes, folk songs, and improvisations, but also pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And that's why the Bauhaus band is still so important for today's image of the Bauhaus: It is the most eminent proof of the famous Bauhaus exuberance, it did not care about the classical divide between serious music and popular music and demonstrated hands-on how the individual crafts at the Bauhaus coalesced.
The Bauhauslers depicted living and studying at the Bauhaus as seemingly having been determined by music and highlighted by the rhythm of the Bauhaus band. This easily let's one forget that music was not even on the Bauhaus curriculum. One reason for this was that the Bauhaus was founded as successor institution of the Weimar Academy of Fine Arts and the College of Applied Arts. From the outset the Bauhaus was intended to offer training in artistic disciplines and crafts, as Marta Günter writes in her essay "Musikleben am Staatlichen Bauhaus in Weimar" ("Musical life at the Weimar State Bauhaus"). While musical education was, taken over by the "State College of Music that emerged from the Orchestra School (…)."
All the same, music was very important at the Bauhaus. Apart from the performances of the Bauhaus band the Bauhaus masters organised musical evenings or concerts for friends and sympathisers with the aim of establishing the Bauhaus "as cultural location in the German Reich" and to associate "prominent personalities" with it. Up until 1921 mainly Baroque music was played at these rather representative events. Thus for example Prelude and Fugue in E flat major by Johann Sebastian Bach were to be played at a planned morning celebration at the Weimar National Theatre. In the early years Bach was the link between the Bauhaus and the rather conservative Weimar cultured middle-class. But Bach was also popular at in-house Bauhaus evenings, also for programmatic reasons. The penchant for early music was also a reflection of the expressionistic orientation the Bauhaus had in its initial phase and when it started out and – as is common knowledge – was guided by the medieval mason's lodges. Thus this reference was considered as a new beginning and a beacon of a new era.
The masters Paul Klee and Lyonel Feininger particularly loved Bach. Feiniger, who was a good pianist, knew the Well-Tempered Clavier by heart and in 1921 even started to compose fugues. Klee on the other hand was an excellent violinist and also admired Mozart and thought that everything that followed thereafter – from Bruckner to Mahler to Richard Strauss – was a decline. This preference was not in the least due to a disdain for the contemporary. Klee, who rejected the copying of reality in painting, was looking for "new dimensions of reality", "the embodiments of which can be understood as time and space and movement and rhythm" found in the musical structures of Baroque. He perceived colours, forms and lines as musical motives, rhythms or tonal contrasts, which becomes apparent in the titles he gave his paintings such as "Fugue in red". "Klee wanted to create a foundation for the fine arts, analogue to that created in the field of music at the end of the 18th century – in his view a high point that was never reached again, as Thomas Schinköth describes in his article "Vulkanisches Gelände im Meere des Spießbürgertums: Musik und Bühne am Bauhaus." (Volcanic terrain in the sea of philistinism: music and stage at the Bauhaus".
By 1922 Klee's preference for Bach and Mozart could not prevent new music from entering the Bauhaus. Gropius, who had probably met Arnold Schönberg through his first wife Alma, had Schöneberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" performed in the Weimar "Armbrust-Schützengesellschaft" on 27th October 1922. And at the Bauhaus week, which took place one year later, the who's who of contemporary music, such as Paul Hindemith, Igor Strawinsky and Kurt Weill, made an appearance. In the course of the events, piano pieces by Ferruccio Busoni, Paul Hindemith's "Marienlieder", Ernst Krenek's "concerto grosso and "The Soldier's Tale" were performed. Turning away from the mystical beginnings and turning to functionalism went hand in hand with the fascination for contemporary music at the Bauhaus. Apart from generally being open to the new, students and teachers were interested in new music, in particular the borrowings from jazz and popular music. "They wanted to know from me what was new in music. I told them about Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau (...), about the interest in jazz that was also shared by Igor Stravinsky", the music critic and composer Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, who had come from Berlin, remembers.
Stefan Wolpe was also substantially involved in imparting new music. A.o. he had set Kurt Schwitters' poem Anna Blume to music. Wolpe was one of the few composers who had studied at the Bauhaus for a short time. Of course he studied painting and thus attended courses by Paul Klee and was enthralled that one learnt to "interrelate everything" at the Bauhaus.

First Baroque, then new music – this by no means meant that these musical genres were mutually exclusive. Quite on the contrary, they were even performed together now and again, as in the performances of Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet. Schlemmer had already known Paul Hindemith for a while and had created the stage setting for his one-act plays in Stuttgart in 1921. Schwemmer had envisaged a contemporary accompaniment for his Triadic Ballet and he approached both Hindemith and the composers Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt and Ernst Toch. The latter did not provide any scores, but there is proof that Hindemith at least contributed music for some of the dances. And what about the others? Oskar Schlemmer's notes do not shed much light on the accompanying music. That's why the pianist Steffen Schleiermacher started researching this a couple of years ago – with some amazing findings. Schlemmer let the spiral, the ball and the wire figure dance to the sounds of Mozart, Heydn and in particular to Georg Friedrich Händel's harpsichord music.

DSI's Border Security & Intelligence Summit is designed as an educational and training "Town Hall" forum, where thought leaders and key policy-makers across DHS, DoD, IC, Federal and State Agencies, Industry and Academia can come together for actionable discussions and debate.
DSI's Border Security & Intelligence Summit is a unique forum that allows for personnel from DHS, DoD, IC, Federal and State Agencies, Industry and Academia to convene in one location. Our "Town Hall" format is designed to encourage challenging discussion and dialogue amongst all in attendance.
By keeping our forum off-the record and non-attribution, we allow for a level of stream of consciousness and shared ideas and thoughts to flow freely. Our agendas cover the most current priorities and strive to achieve actionable takeaways for all in attendance.
We limit our attendance size in order to allow everyone a chance to actively participate in the discussions and to mix and mingle with each other easily over the two days we are together.
We encourage you to explore our site more, give us a call if you have any questions, and we hope to welcome you in January!
The security of our borders and Nation will continue to be tested by new and emerging threats. "The U.S. borders, – land, maritime, and air environments – cannot be effectively policed by a single DHS Component or even a single governmental entity". A joint / layered / whole-of-government approach that leverages interagency and international partnerships as a force multiplier will continue to be the most effective way to secure the borders.
Understanding the emerging threats to our borders and national security is dependent on the collection, gathering, analysis and sharing of all- source intelligence, including open source. Partnerships to share intelligence and information and operational capabilities, among the IC community, federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement, international government agencies, and the private sector act as force multipliers towards protecting the Homeland.
However, as transnational criminal organizations, violent extremists, and individual actors increase their levels of sophistication, our Homeland and National Security Agencies and their respective partners must continually improve their capabilities and leverage their strengths in joint information and intelligence sharing, and operational capabilities.
DSI's Summit will provide a forum for Military Services, OSD, DHS, and other federal agencies to address and improve current mission critical needs and initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, and engage in senior level dialogue with all in attendance while increasing visibility within the larger community.

— James Morrow
Now interpersonal politics... that's what it's all about.

Viola Desmond
With Black History Month approaching, I think it appropriate that we recognize a former Black Activist, Viola Desmond, especially since her image has been chosen to be on the new $10.00 bill.
Although often referred to as Canada's Rosa Parks, I believe it should be the other way around since Viola's quiet act of defiance actually happened nine years before that of Rosa Park's. Also, Claudette Colvin, a Black teen refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery the same year Rosa did but nine months before. Unfortunately, her name is often forgotten. Regardless, all three women displayed great courage standing up for their rights.
As for Viola, she became a beautician and businesswoman but not without roadblocks being placed in her way. For starters, she could not go to hairdressing school in Halifax as Black women were not admitted. So she went to Montreal and later New York and New Jersey, eventually receiving her diploma from a renown Beauty School in Atlantic City. Later, she also manufactured and marketed her own, Vi's Beauty Products.
In 1946, while on a business trip, her car broke down in New Glasgow. While waiting for it to be repaired, she decided to go to a movie. Since she was not aware that Blacks were restricted to sitting in the balcony, she asked for a ticket on the main floor but was given a balcony ticket instead. When the usher told her she had to sit in the balcony, she thought a mistake had been made so returned to have her ticket changed. When she learned that she was denied a main floor seat because of race and was told, "it's not permitted for people like you," she defiantly went back and found a seat on the main floor. For this she was jailed after being dragged from the theatre by police, fined $20.00, as well as a $6.00 court fine and was sentenced to 30 days.
She was encouraged to get legal help and became the first known Black woman in Canada to challenge racial segregation. Although she didn't win, there was so much publicity Nova Scotia had to throw out its segregation laws in 1954.
Unfortunately, the incident negatively affected Viola. She went through a divorce, shut down her business and moved to Montreal and then New York to start fresh and look for new opportunities. Sadly she died in 1965, but her sister, Wanda Robinson, took up the cause to clear her sister's name and Viola finally posthumously received a pardon 63 years later which was granted by Mayann Frances, Nova Scotia's first black Lieutenant Governor.
The ferry from Halifax to Dartmouth will be renamed The Viola Desmond Ferry in her honour.

Man accused of killing mother, wounding 3 deputies in Midtown club shooting
Nicole Hensley Jan. 3, 2021 Updated: Jan. 4, 2021 6:26 a.m.
Three Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were shot while working a security job at a night club in the 2900 block of Travis Street in Houston.

A man is accused of killing his mother in a shooting Sunday at a Midtown nightclub that left three off-duty Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies wounded, according to court records.
The suspected shooter, identified as Joseph Anthony Gonzalez, 25, was later apprehended at a Sugar Land hospital, where he tried to receive medical treatment for a gunshot wound, Houston police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner said. Court records show the woman killed in the shooting was his mother but he has not been charged yet with her death. She was not identified.
The deputies — who were uniformed — are expected to survive. They were conscious and "in good spirits" Sunday afternoon while recovering at the Texas Medical Center, the sheriff's office said.
He faces three counts of aggravated assault against a public servant. He also was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon.
The deputies had been working security at the Set club at 2900 Travis Street and tried breaking up the fight around 2:20 a.m. in the parking lot — about 20 minutes after the bar closed for the night, Finner said. Patrol officers dispatched to a shots fired call at the club and found four people shot — including the deputies.
By daybreak, large pools of blood and discarded plates of tacos remained in the club parking lot — as well as a lone deputy keeping watching over the crime scene.

The three deputies were identified as two men and a woman whose ages range from their 30s to 40s . One deputy required surgery while another was released Sunday night, officials said.
"All of them are fairly seasoned deputies," Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
The shooting capped a rough, nearly-24 hours for the sheriff's office. Off-duty sheriff's Sgt. Bruce Watson was killed Saturday afternoon in a motorcycle crash while on his way home from serving as a funeral escort in the Pearland area. The sheriff, during the news briefing, marked the day as tragic.
"Feeling both grief and gratitude today," the sheriff said in a later tweet. "Reminded that there is still mourning left to do, and a new calendar year doesn't change that."
HPD's Special Investigations Unit will lead the shooting investigation, while the sheriff's office and the Harris County District Attorney's Office will conduct reviews.
Mayor Sylvester Turner blasted the club in a tweet for portraying itself as a restaurant during the pandemic. He said that while the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has allowed Set to continue operating as a dining locale, the county government would disagree about the club being a restaurant.
"This is a straight up nightclub and should not have been open," Turner said.
Police were dispatched to the same club last May after four men were shot in the parking lot. All are believed to have survived. In that shooting, the fight started in the club and continued outside.

Swedes Think Different: A New Model for E-lending
Swedes have always gone about their business in their own particular way. To quote a phrase: 'Swedes think different'. Take e-books: Swedes are usually early adopters of new technologies and formats, but, despite a small bump in the figures when Apple launched their iBookstore in Scandinavia in 2011, the market for e-books has remained small by comparison to the global market.
This seems odd given that Swedes are heavy consumers of books and geared up to the eyeballs with smartphones and tablets. The fact is that Swedes do in fact read e-books, it's just that they don't buy them. Numbers from Svenskbokhandel (the Swedish national book trade magazine) show that six times as many e-books were distributed through the library system than through all commercial outlets combined in September this year.
So why is this? Pundits speculate that it's a consequence of the vertical integration of the Swedish book market: three big houses, each part of a group that also controls its own retail outlets. Margins from selling physical books are good, so why not postpone the migration to e-books for as long as possible? It has also been suggested that if nobody is buying e-books, Sweden is more likely to remain out of Amazon's sights, and its disruptive effect. Maybe there's some truth in this, or maybe it's just the kind of conspiratorial thinking that pundits thrive on.
An alternative explanation takes as its starting point the spirit of cross-sector co-operation that is so fundamental to the Swedish attitude towards business that it has its own moniker: Saltsjöbadsandan – "anda" means spirit, "Saltsjöbaden" is the location where the truce between the Swedish Trade Union Confederation and the Swedish Employers Association was struck in the 1930s.
In the case of e-book lending, the model that prevails in Sweden was drafted over a decade ago by representatives from the library sector and the Association of Swedish Publishers. Whilst the dominant model internationally is based on the idea of licensing 'copies' of e-books, in Sweden the library treats e-books as a 'service' with titles available concurrently to any number of patrons, for free. In Sweden you never have to wait for an e-book to become 'available' which of course means you can borrow as many as you want, simultaneously.
So, does the Swedish model point the way to an e-lending solution? That would be quite an achievement given the struggle between the sectors witnessed in 2012: four of six of the world's biggest general trade publishers withdrawing large swathes of their e-book catalogues from library distribution, a fifth publisher altered their terms for library usage – resulting in a high profile boycott – and the sixth tripled their prices.
The short answer is 'not really' – the Swedish model has its own set of challenges:
Whilst e-book lending is lucrative for publishers (even if e-books are free to library patrons, the library pays for every transaction) there is a growing nervousness that a commercial market may never develop on account of readers having come to expect that e-books are free. In an effort to counteract this many publishers are now windowing their e-book releases, releasing them to libraries only once they have gone cold commercially.
This practice of windowing has attracted strong criticism from librarians culminating in the national lobby group taking out a full page advert in Sweden's biggest national newspaper slamming the practice, and criticising publishers for mercantile behaviour and failing to see libraries as strategic partners in reader and audience development for their books.
There is hope however. Whilst the big guys fight it out in public, some smaller players are doing interesting groundwork which has the potential to revolutionise not only how libraries handle e-books, but the way in which publishers and libraries work together.
Last week the Swedish media reported on a pilot project which sees Stockholm City library, Ordfront (one of the few mid-sized, independent publishing houses) and Publit (a technology company specialising in e-book and PoD publishing and distribution) join forces to trial a dual licensing model for e-books.
'Dual licensing' is a term borrowed from the Open Source movement and describes how a product can both be sold for profit and shared freely under different sets of terms. The pilot applies the concept to e-books in the following way: libraries help digitise publishers' backlist and get decent lending terms in return.
In the pilot the library will pay for the digitisation of 25 e-books which are then made available to the library at a fixed price subscription for a period of eleven years. Furthermore the publisher agrees to make all their new e-book titles available to the library on release.
We believe this model has legs because it serves the interests of all the parties involved. Publishers in a language area as small as Sweden face the challenge that their audience simply isn't big enough to finance serious backlist digitisation – that is why there are no more than ten thousand titles available as e-books on the Swedish market today. With most new publications just about breaking even, exploiting the long-tail by making their back catalogue available in all formats – PoD and e – becomes essential to their survival.
Libraries can help make that happen: the sector isn't swimming in money, but their biggest problem is not lack of funds, but lack of control. The e-book budget of the average Swedish library has been spiraling out of control for years, the dual licensing model helps stabilise the situation.
And let's not forget the raison d'etre shared by both parties: to bring great books to the public. That if anything should provide fertile grounds for partnership. Not least in an era where brick and mortar book stores are closing down by the minute and tax funded libraries might imminently be the one remaining public space to meet around literature.
Hannes Eder is the CTO at Publit, a technology company that specialises in e-book and PoD production and distribution.

Principal Paul Hirsch
By Nicholas Pham in Blog on Aug 29, 2016 Views: 2200
"The school is run democratically. Students are teachers, and teachers are students, and there's a lot that we learn from one another. That approach, one of humility, allows us to grow, reflect and innovate. We leave the ego at the door and stay open to new ideas."
Paul Hirsch, Principal of STEM Academy of Hollywood, and three of his best friends who are teachers there — Esther Dabagyan, Jason Doerr, and Tamara Cogan — started the school in 2009. Paul became Principal in the 2012 – 2013 school year, leading the turnaround in the graduation rate from the early years of just over 50% to now more than 90%.
"I grew up here in Los Angeles and went to LAUSD schools. My Dad went to LAUSD schools. My grandfather graduated from LAUSD — from LA High back in 1929. So we've been here a long time. I think I was a little hyperactive when I was younger. It was hard to focus. I had a tutor who changed my life. He sat me down, made me focus, and taught me how to write a 5-paragraph essay. It really just taught me how to think; how to organize my thoughts. I'm forever indebted to him. It's part of why I became an educator: I just want to be able to do that for other kids.
We are a STEM (science, technology, engineering and medicine) Pilot school. It's a democratically run school with distributive leadership. The Pilot school started with myself and a team of teachers including Esther Dabagyan, Jason Doerr, and Tamara Cogan. We came together and applied for this autonomy and really started our own school. I think that's one of my biggest accomplishments. And it's not mine. It's something I share with my three best friends, our stakeholders and the community.
Before YPI came, our class sizes were in the 40s. We had very limited access to computers. We had one counselor for 450 kids. We were just incredibly under resourced. We didn't have what the kids deserved. And it was hard to be the leader and look kids in the eye and say, 'We're going to help you. We're going to take care of you,' and then look back at what little we had to support them. It was tough. And that's why when YPI came in and brought the resources that we enjoy now, it helped me personally, emotionally. It was really hard to want to help and not be able to.
When I first met Dixon Slingerland [President & CEO, YPI] and Iris Zuñiga [Executive Vice President, YPI] they organized a dinner right across the street at our local Italian restaurant and brought all of us local principals together. Someone needed to do that and it was good that they did. They asked me, 'What's going on in your school?' And I said, 'It's hard to be a STEM school without any computers.' And then two days later, a van rolls up and they're putting computers into our College Center. Those computers still sit right here in our College Center. They're the ones the kids use to fill out their applications for colleges.
That was my intro to YPI. After that, it became clear that they would be incredible partners. Together we came up with a lot of innovative ways to support students including: ACT and SAT prep strategies, tutoring, targeted interventions; and creating pipelines between elementary, middle school and high school. They're excellent collaborators and thought partners and they have access to the resources schools need to build capacity.
In the past four years, the school has really turned around. When the campus first opened up, there were fights every day. The graduation rate was in the 50s. There was a lot of alcohol and drug use. We were combing through our budgets looking for funding for security guards.
Today, the money we were spending on security guards is being used for lab equipment. We're purchasing spectrophotometers and gel-electrophoresis. Our medical students are looking at DNA in the same way that modern laboratories do with an electrical current shot through gel in a way that stretches apart DNA for observation.
While the school was being built, a survey was conducted in the neighborhood around what kind of school the families wanted. Some wanted an arts school; others wanted a business school. But overwhelmingly, families were asking for a STEM school. We were created out of demand from the neighborhood.
In the first few years after opening, we studied the report cards, and saw an overwhelming number of "Ds" and "Fs." But we also saw another pattern: There were a significant number of "Bs" and "As" in our medical and engineering classes. The kids really liked those classes and did well in them. We started adding more medical and engineering classes and then we vertically aligned them, so students would take an intro class in 9th grade and build those skills in their 10th, 11th and 12th grades.
Almost immediately, the behavior problems started to decrease and academic achievement in those classes increased. But the kids were still struggling in our core classes, so we tied Math skills and English skills to those medical classes and engineering classes, and developed multidisciplinary projects. We leveraged engagement to get academic achievement. With every move — every one of those moves — the behavior issues fell away, the violence, the drug abuse, the suspensions. We haven't had a fight in four years. No suspensions. No drug use on campus. What we saw first hand is that when students are engaged, their potential is unlocked.
YPI helped us with teacher trainings; they helped us with student support. They helped us believe in ourselves and together, we built the capacity to deliver the education all students deserve. I think it's YPI's "all hands on deck" approach that made this possible.
At the beginning, we couldn't even get kids to apply to colleges. This year, 10% of our senior class is going to UCLA! Another 40 kids are off to UCs and every single senior created a post secondary plan. The promise is being kept.
The school is run democratically. Students are teachers, and teachers are students, and there's a lot that we learn from one another. That approach, one of humility, allows us to grow, reflect and innovative. We leave the ego at the door and stay open to new ideas.
I always tell the STEM freshmen: You are surrounded by people who care about you. You're surrounded by opportunity and support. There are so many resources here for you. Let's take it one step at a time."

I have been reading through the Bible with an app called Read Scripture(sidenote: I love this app and highly recommend it). I am currently in Leviticus and I keep thinking how hard it would have been to ever live a pure life in this world. There were so many laws and rules that I am sure I would have broken many daily simply for the fact that I would not have remembered them all.
Today it hit me as I was reading and I had been praying for clarity in a situation, how incredibly grateful I am for JESUS! Because of Jesus, we no longer have to live in a constant state of worry and anxiety of what law we will break today. Jesus went to the cross with the weight of all of our sins so that we can live a life focused on love and grace. I believe that Jesus allows us to focus more on loving God and building a relationship with Him based on that love instead of focusing on the law and how to keep it. Jesus wants us to extend His love to those around us.
We live in such a fallen world with sin, destruction and hurt all around us. Without Jesus, I would be so worried about how to stay pure that I would not be able to focus on loving others. Because the fact is that I mess up and I do things that I shouldn't all the time but Jesus took those sins to cross with Him therefore I can LIVE a life focused on Him and loving those around me the way He commands us to.
So when I am teaching my kids, I try to focus on the relationship and their hearts more than I focus on the action or rule breaking. Granted I know that rules are good don't get me wrong. But when my kids break the rule, I try to remember that it's not about the rule, it's about them. For example, when I do something stupid, because of my relationship with Jesus, I feel horrible afterwards. He brings awareness to that sin and I go to Him asking for forgiveness and then I move forward knowing that I am forgiven and loved allowing me to focus on Jesus and not the mistake. The focus that is on Jesus drives me to do the things that he asks and leads me to. If my focus were to stay on my mistake, regret and shame then I would continue to move towards that and I would continue to let myself down. So when I am disciplining or setting goals for my kids, if their hearts are focused on God and not on their own selfish ambitions, then I extend a lot of grace towards the rule breaking. If their focus is not in the right place, then I usually have stronger consequences and then I hit my knees praying that God will change their focus.
Today, I am grateful for JESUS and what He did! I am choosing to focus on my relationship with Him! I am choosing to LOVE others because of that! I am choosing to pray for those that don't have that relationship because without it, the fear and anxiety of always living according to the law and rules is overwhelming. I also recognize that without the relationship with Jesus, I can't expect people to make decisions the same way I do. People will let us down and that is ok, it is how I react to the let down is what matters. I choose to love unconditionally and to continue to seek Him! The rest is up to God and each individuals choice to follow Jesus or not.

Pakistani Opposition to Form New Gov't
President Pervez Musharraf is not about to quit, a senior ally said Monday, a day after opponents agreed to form a government and restore judges who had questioned the legality of the former army chief continuing in office.
The declaration by the winners of Feb. 18 elections immediately heightened expectations that the unpopular, U.S.-allied president could be on the way out. "Moment of Truth for President Musharraf," read a headline in the respected Dawn newspaper.
But the parties of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and another ex-premier, Nawaz Sharif, still lack the two-thirds parliamentary majority needed to impeach the president. It was also unclear exactly how they could reinstate the sacked justices.
Tariq Azim, a former minister and a Musharraf ally, predicted the victorious parties would ease their rhetoric against the president as they settle into government.
"They will have to first stabilize themselves. In the process of stabilizing themselves, they will deal with the president and maybe the long-running rift between them and the president gets a thaw," Azim told The Associated Press.
By agreeing to send their ministers to be sworn in by Musharraf, the politicians have "faced the reality that there is a president and he is not going anywhere," Azim said.
Musharraf seized power in a 1999 coup and turned Pakistan into a close U.S. ally after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. He has faced mounting pressure to resign since his supporters were routed in the elections last month. Bhutto and Sharif's parties finished first and second.

Working with a financial professional should provide value to you and your financial life. But when you've had a negative experience with a financial advisor, it can be challenging to overcome successfully.
Is this you? Have you had a bad experience with a financial advisor in the past? And if so, how has that negative experience impacted how you handle your finances today? Unfortunately, a bad financial experience can leave scars that range from healthy skepticism to an immovable distrust and fear of all financial professionals. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that financial services ranked last in the 25-country survey of the general population with a 51% trust rating.
You'll never know how good your financial advisor is until the market takes a tumble. Therefore, given the recent recession we're now recovering from, it's possible a few warts were uncovered that potentially left you wanting more from the financial services industry.
Despite what your past experiences have been, here are a few ways to overcome a bad financial advisor encounter and use it toward a more rewarding experience in the future.
It's valuable to jot down exactly what contributed to your bad experience with a financial professional. Taking stock on what went wrong and in what instances will reveal what's most important to you when it comes to working with a financial professional.
Maybe your financial advisor didn't respond to your questions quickly enough or was always impossible to get ahold of when you wanted to talk. Or she wasn't proactive in calming your financial fears when the market started to take a dive. Worse yet, maybe he didn't do what he said he was going to do, and it resulted in negative financial consequences for you and your family. Or she tried to put you in an investment you weren't comfortable with or sell you something you didn't want or need.
Whatever your experience was, write it down and make a list of your grievances so that you know exactly the type of financial professional to avoid in the future.
Not all financial professionals are created equal. There are a wide range of specialties within the financial service industry (often identified by the letter designations that follow their name), so knowing what you want when it comes to a financial professional will help you narrow your search criteria going forward.
If, for instance, you really want help getting organized in your financial life and made aware of more ways to maximize your finances for your retirement, then a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER who specializes in comprehensive financial planning is probably a more appropriate match for your needs than a broker-dealer who buys and sells securities. If you own a business and need someone who can better instruct you on tax-efficient moves you can make, then a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who specializes in business taxes is more appropriate.
What you want and what you need from a financial professional should go hand-in-hand. The way a financial advisor works can be just as important as the actual type of service he or she provides. Referencing your list of what went wrong from above will make it even easier for you to identify what it is you're looking for in a financial advisor and can empower you stand firm in your financial decisions.
This may go without saying, but if you've had a bad experience or are having a bad experience, you don't have to stay. Chances are if you've had a bad experience you shared it with your financial advisor and gave them time to make it up to you before making the decision to part ways.
Sometimes the only way to overcome an unpleasant relationship is to move on. A financial advisor or the firm he works for may try to retain your business by introducing another team member to your account or reassigning your account to a different advisor altogether. Either way, go with your gut instinct, and don't be afraid to terminate a relationship if it's not serving your needs or meeting your expectations.
Sometimes nothing has to go "wrong" per se, but you may feel like the relationship just isn't the best personality fit, the service isn't that great for the fees you pay, or you don't agree with the investment philosophy. Whatever your reasons for wanting to move on, know that you can move on.
This is sometimes easier when you've already selected a new financial advisor. Your new advisor will help you transfer your assets over and help manage the paperwork involved in initiating the necessary transactions. In most cases, you can easily transfer assets when you move on from a financial advisor.
What you learn from a bad experience can be used to embolden smarter financial decisions. As the client, you should always feel comfortable and confident in the financial team you select and the decisions being made to help you reach your financial goals.

Greenpeace's Iconic 'Rainbow Warrior' Ship Chopped Up On A Third-World Beach, Sold For Scrap
charles the moderator / December 31, 2018
From The Daily Caller

Greenpeace's iconic "Rainbow Warrior" boat was disposed of in a way the group campaigned against for years.
Greenpeace regrets allowing its old vessel to be chopped up on a Bangladeshi beaching yard and sold for scrap.
The embarrassing news flew under the radar of major media outlets for weeks.
Greenpeace quietly admitted in November one of its "Rainbow Warrior" boats was "scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh" — a method it spent years campaigning against.
"We have made a mistake, one that we have tried to correct," Greenpeace International, based in Amsterdam, admitted in mid-November, adding it allowed Rainbow Warrior II "to be scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh, in a way that does not live up to the standards we set ourselves and campaigned with our allies to have adopted across the world."
However, the embarrassing admission from one of the world's largest and most prominent environmental groups flew under the radar of major news outlets. Greenpeace quietly put out a press release on its international website, which few noticed.
Greenpeace International did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.
Indeed, Rainbow Warrior II's fate is only the latest in a string of embarrassments and scandals to plague Greenpeace in recent years, including admitting in 2014 it had lost millions in donations betting on currency speculation.
That same year, Greenpeace came under fire from the Peruvian government for damaging the ancient Nazca Lines. Activists damaged the world-famous site with giant protest banners advocating for solar energy and calling for countries to fight global warming.

The iconic Rainbow Warrior put Greenpeace in the headlines protesting nuclear weapons testing in the late 1970s. French special forces sunk the original Rainbow Warrior boat in New Zealand in 1985. However, the group got another boat, which it used for over 20 years to protest whaling, fishing and nuclear tests. (RELATED: The NY Times Was Silent When TheDCNF Asked If It Would Support Banning Private Jets. Why?)
Ironically, Greenpeace's Rainbow vessels were powered by two large diesel engines as well as a sail. Critics relentlessly pointed out the group's hypocrisy for using oil while simultaneously campaigning against its extraction.
Greenpeace gave its replacement Rainbow Warrior II boat to the Bangladeshi non-profit Friendship in 2011 after it was deemed no longer fit for high-seas travel. Friendship used the boat as a floating hospital for years until 2018.
As part of its agreement with Friendship, Greenpeace retained veto rights over how the ship would be disposed. Friendship sold Rainbow Warrior II to a Bangladeshi beaching yard where it would be scrapped using a method they spent years campaigning against.
Greenpeace, after initially approving of this plan, publicly backtracked in mid-November. Rainbow Warrior II was hauled into a beach where it "readied to be cut up" and sold as scrap. Environmental groups have campaigned against these sorts of beach shipyards for years.

The 61-year-old Rainbow Warrior II boat was disposed of "in a way that does not live up to the standards we set ourselves and campaigned with our allies to have adopted across the world," Greenpeace admitted in its mid-November statement.
"We should have consulted our partners in the NGO Shipbreaking Platform and the Basel Action Network, we did not. No excuse. We should have," Greenpeace International said.
Greenpeace's admission went completely unnoticed by major media outlets until Friday when the German-language newspaper Der Spiegel published a scathing article on the debacle.
"The numerous toxins in the ships, such as asbestos or PCB, get unhindered into the environment," Der Spiegel writer Nicolai Kwasniewski wrote.
Kwasniewski wrote Greenpeace tried to "minimize the damage as long as possible" and is "now negotiating with PHP to bring the very toxic materials from the Rongdhonu to a country where they can be disposed of properly."

The first news outlet to report on the incident, the Belgian-based MO, reported in early December that Greenpeace officials were "convinced that [Rainbow Warrior II] could no longer make a big trip to a shipbreaking yard that would meet its own standards and requirements," which they later admitted "was the mistake."
Greenpeace Norway officials told MO the decision was "the result of a major internal error" that was made "without consulting either its own expertise or allies within the NGO Shipbreaking Platform or Basel Action Network."
Greenpeace reportedly tried to buy Rainbow Warrior II back, but that effort failed because the scrapping company PHP wanted too much for the vessel. The group also said it will try to have the ship scraps and waste exported to a country with modern disposal facilities.
"Going forward Greenpeace commits to urgently adopt an end-of-life ship policy, drafted with the help of the Shipbreaking Platform, to help ensure such errors do not occur in future," Greenpeace said.

Translation?
Damn they caught us,quick spit out a press release for the International Presstitutes to spread.
Gang Green is here to harvest the green from the gullibles.
Their proud motto;"Rules for thee,none for me".
This falls right into the gigglesnortt!! category!!
I want to wish everyone a prosperous and Happy New Year in 2019.
James Bull says:
This is another "Do as I say not as I do" times for the big green blob.
Also it ran on special green oil and diesel that they harvested from the Unicorns in a faraway land!
James Bull
MangoChutney says:
"locally harvested Unicorns"
Faraway Unicorns would have a massive CO2 footprint
Excellent point! Always harvest local, be it food or unicorns.

Say, you don't suppose it was actually rendered from whale blubber?
WXcycles says:
It's not like the Chinese navy were going to need to turn it into an artificial reef during some vigorous heart-felt protest about their coral reef destruction.
Not an issue.
Lank says:
John, Not gang green but 'gangrene'.
Aussiebear says:
Lank, no it's exactly as intended, a play on the word gangrene. Gang green. Green Gang. Get it?
English is a wonderful language,I write Gang Green,you read gangrene.
Imagine poor google interns trying to censure this.
Just as the Aussies Have "Snip 18" in place of Muslim Terrorist.
We Canadians will soon enough have to refer to these lovies as 'Son's of the desert pedophile"thanks to hate speech laws from our parasitic overlords.

Look at their books. Focus on 2017 liabilities (esp. vs 2016). Big hemorrhaging there.
The ONLY way to get this to change is for the individuals and entities funding Greenpeace to demand accountability. That means the Greenpeace Board, the CEO, the COO and the Legsl Counsel taking a sizable pay-cut. Period. Everything else is childish, skirting responsibility. Make them personally pay for their hypocrisy or they will repeat the practice, over and over and over. This is just human nature.
Schadenfreude!
Rich Davis says:
Unless it costs us more than just scuttling the damn thing…in which case we'll just say "mistakes were made", and "Send more money so we can do it right next time."
Jim Whelan says:
No need for any "mistakes were made" claim if it's scuttled. Just claim it sank in a severe, global warming caused storm. The news release can say, "Thankfully all crew members and Greenpeace activists on board were saved before the ship sank."
commieBob says:
… the scrapping company PHP wanted too much for the vessel. …
The gross weight was 555 tonnes. link That includes what the ship would weigh with cargo. The weight of the ship itself is called lightship weight. That is around a third of the gross weight. link So a guess at the steel involved would be around 185 tonnes. If scrap steel goes at $300/tonne, we get a value of around $60,000.
It is possible the scrap company realized they had Greenpeace by the short curlies. Let's assume they were playing fair though.
My guess is that Greenpeace has had more than $60,000 worth of trouble. They should have paid the asking price because, presumably, they would have recovered a lot of it when the ship was eventually broken up at an environmentally friendly scrap yard.
For a small price, they could have looked like heroes. They cheaped out and now they look like schmucks.
p.s. Happy New Year!
F.LEGHORN says:
They cheaped out and now they look like are schmucks.
Simplified it for ya.
Really, what's $60K compared to the $5.2M they lost a few years ago playing in the FX market…
bengineer says:
…but, apparently, no price is too high for John and Jane Citizen to pay when it comes to the "environment".
Hartley says:
But they would also have had to move it to wherever the "environmentally friendly" scrap yard was, and that might have cost a LOT more than $60K. There would also have been the visibility of the junk ship being towed (with a black-smoke belching tug attached).
R Shearer says:
We consume over 100 million gallons of fuel per year in our ships and helicopters and vehicles, not to mention millions of miles our executives fly on private and commercial jets and aircraft. For this we are sorry.
Newminster says:
"We consume … commercial jets and aircraft."
We are truly sorry that you have noticed this.
Farmer Ch E retired says:
There is a cost to being truly green. If we wanted truly green rather than cheap, we would require it from the supply chains of the world. Likewise, there is a cost to human rights.
Cue the people who will say this shouldn't be here.
Paul r says:
Another example of Greenpeace being a multi million dollar corporation who over the years has turned into what it fought against. The peple who run it are just corporates who use naive gullible volunteers to make them millions in profit. Greenpeace should be renamed greenback.
For decades, Greenpeace has been primarily about promoting Marxism.
DonM says:
They are about making money, greed, power, and growing.
The most efficient way for THEM to do this is to market to the people that are fooled by Marxism 'values'.
Clay Sanborn says:
fred250 says:
Recycling, and almost certainly for a better purpose.
Where is the problem ???
There's nasty stuff inside old ships that shouldn't just be tossed into the bay.
It took hours to cut through the green paint with acetylene only to find an even thicker toxic red paint layer on the inside.
It's taken years to cut through the green bs slime to find the even more toxic red hypocrisy underneath.
Interesting- as I have become more revolted by Greenpeace, I have gained more and more respect for Paul Watson.
Streetcred says:
Patrick Moore ? Watson is of the pirate Sea Shepard ilk.
+++ 😉 yup
At least they are not as bad as Sea Shepherd.
I remember when that wacko catamaran speed boat deliberately rammed into a Japanese whaling ship, endangered all the crew,
then under cover of night they scuttled their boat and tried to pretend it was the Japanese fault.

Sea Shepherd, because the sheep normal protected by a shepherd are NEVER later slaughtered eating.

Komrade KUma says:
"We made a mistake"
No you did not you pack of frauds, you just got found out. It 'passed under the radar of ' major news outlets because the various editors made sure it did.
This is hardly a matter over which you do not have a firm policy position and a proper plan to ensure compiance with said policy. What, are Greanpeace sdaying the vessel just drifted to Bangladesh and so the locals dealt with it? BS. It was sold to a wrecker or intermediary in the full knowledge of what would happen.
PaulH says:
"We made a mistake" "Sorry" "Now keep sending us $1 million/day so we can keep the lights on and maintain our globetrotting lifestyles."
That's the Green Blob, alright.
Jones says:
I am happy and sure that they will, at the very least,be paying all the breaking workers a good wage with all benefits.
Won't they?
J Mac says:
Butt covering, lying hippocrites…..
E J Zuiderwijk says:
Oh the delicious irony.
The MSM editors would probably dump this story for a piece hounding some poor 85year old for some dubious misdemeanour 60 years ago.
Krishna Gans says:
It's always that bigotry whats typical for greens, when asking to drink water while themselves drink wine.
Strong protests against falling trees for coal surface mining, attacking policemen over days, while not far away trees are falling for windmills, not one of the greens has been seen.
Happy New year !!
The usual incompetence of a 'charitable' organisation.
There is no concept of formal management or accountability within these organisations. They have no idea how to turn a profit or the sacrifices that demands. They exist on handouts from wealthy supporters and gullible members of the public. Shoddy management practices go unrecognised because there's no one who knows what good management practices look like.
Like all zealots they make sure their own personal nest is well feathered.
Being that this is one of the fundamental platforms upon which they exist, had the company been operated by proper businessmen this would never have happened as the clunker would never have been sold off as a hospital ship, it would have been responsibly scrapped when they still retained control over it.
Many charities in the UK simply would not exist were it not for government support. They get that support in return for political lobbying. When our current Conservative government under David Cameron took power much of the money saved by the bonfire of the QUANGO's (Quasi-Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisations) was diverted to selected charities to continue the work done by the QUANGO's.
Oxfam is another example of these shady, badly run organisations, with well remunerated employed managers engaging in disgusting sexual exploitation of the victims they are supposed to be helping whilst the organisation is supported by innumerable charity shops across the country staffed largely by well meaning but gullible volunteers.
I have met two 'managers' of these organisations. One of Greenpeace itself in the 1970's who maintained a fine lifestyle with a nice house. More recently another who is involved in advertising management for the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) who lives in a very nice house in a gated community worth around £750,000.
climanrecon says:
Governments are now under serious threat from the MSM, who turn blind eyes to many wrongdoings, while having "fact-checking" armies aimed at Trump and whatever else they are campaigning against. One potential solution to this problem is for govts to have their own media outlets, many will dismiss these as propaganda, but how else can they fight back against the propaganda from the MSM?
Lazybones says:
Sounds like the ship is more Greenpieces than Greenpeace's.
If only Greenpeace itself would suffer the same fate.
G Karst says:
Don't do what we do… Do as we say!
Typical leftist Hypocrisy GK
Russ R. says:
The image of a rotting green watermelon, smashed on a tidal beech in Bangladesh, and Gang Green toxic sludge oozing out into the ocean, is not good for fundraising.
So they are sorry for that peak behind the curtain. Please forget what you saw, and they will put an iron curtain between their operations and the public consumption of propaganda.
And the "operational reality" is those foreign currencies are not going to trade themselves!
Nothing like a "foreign currency cleanse" to hide what they really do with those donations.
Kozlowski says:
In my younger years I actually traveled to those mud flats in Bangladesh. The pollution is beyond words. All of the ship breaking activities leak every toxic fluid that those ships contained. Clearly evident from the multi-colored ocean waters. No worker protection of any kind. The shoreline is one long trash heap.
Of course responsible recycling costs money. Environmentalism is a luxury reserved for the rich.
Irritable Bill says:
You are all right of course to be highly critical of this once environmental org. Back in the day they did some good, they stopped the vile baby harp seal slaughter and led the charge against the whale carnage….no more. Now Greenpeace wants to destroy our civilization…because they don't like it. The environment is irrelevant to the greens, except as a virtue signaling dog whistle to the loony left and mentally frail.
They are now a socialist org. driven by hate and sociopathic rage against our society…one they will never fit into because they are insane.
See Patrick Moors comments about Global warming zealotry and insane "green" blatherings.

Jeffrey Price says:
Yo Greenpeace what say you about the Chinese devastation of reefs in the South China Sea… Oh, I see, nothing… Yeah, you wouldn't want to irritate your ideological friends. Hypocrites, sell outs, COWARDS…
"The group also said it will try to have the ship scraps and waste exported to a country with modern disposal facilities."
The waste should be transported back to the Netherlands, where Greenpeace is based, for disposal under its laws.
ResourceGuy says:
Advocacy damage control is fun to watch.
Perhaps Greenpeace itself should be chopped up for scrap too.
Wait, they already did it with this action.
slow to follow says:
Cumulative environmental impact
The Brent Spar campaign set a precedent for a more open and responsible approach from the offshore oil and gas industry to the decommissioning of obsolete platforms. Before Greenpeace took action against Shell, a number of oil companies had been planning sea-dumping of obsolete installations, such as oil storage buoys and oil rigs. There would have been little, if any, international scrutiny of decommissioning operations – and there would have been a cumulative environmental impact way beyond that of the Brent Spar Greenpeace's action and the support of people throughout Europe, ensured that no such structures have been dumped to this day."
