New Initiatives for Democracy
Defending Liberal Democracy in Israel and Supporting Ukraine
By Daniel Sokatch, International CEO of the New Israel Fund
This week, in the face of this ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the New Israel Fund made a grant to support a crisis center on the Ukraine-Poland border and a network of safehouses operated by the progressive Israeli youth movement, Hashomer Hatzair. While it's true that NIF does not usually fund efforts outside of Israel, we were moved by the urgency of this moment—and as an organization with resources that can help, we felt that we must.
NIF's grant comes after Hashomer Hatzair's successful fundraising efforts in Israel, as well as a number of private gifts that were transferred to the organization through NIF's donor-advised Progressive Jewish Fund. We are so proud to put this kind of financial backbone behind the values that NIF has always believed in.
Though this grant is unusual for us, these are not usual times—and it is hard to imagine an initiative more in line with our core values of human rights and democracy, as well as basic decency and human compassion. Hashomer Hatzair already receives an ongoing NIF grant for their work at the Centers for Social Justice in Ramla, and they are familiar with humanitarian work abroad as well—for years, they have worked with refugees on the island of Lesbos, where they run an international school. This is an organization dedicated to service, progressive values, and humanism, and we are proud to support their efforts on the Ukraine border.
It has been 22 days since Russia invaded Ukraine—and the stories and images emerging are harrowing. Yet, over the last week in Israel, a political debate around Ukrainian refugees seeking entry to Israel raged: How many? For how long? What if they're not Jewish? For our part, NIF's Israeli International Council Members took out an ad in Haaretz that called on the government to open its gates and offer humanitarian help to Ukraine.
The government's current refugee policy, which was determined only this Sunday, is to allow admission to Ukrainian refugees who have family in Israel—and some 20,000 are expected to come. But the proposals that preceded this decision involved a quota of 5,000 refugees, acquiring a visa in advance of getting on a plane, and requirements that Ukrainians leave a NIS 10,000 ($3,091) deposit with the Israeli government to ensure that they would eventually leave. These draconian measures were mostly put on the table by Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked of the Yamina Party—but the pushback against her proposals came from many corners.
The first to fight back against these hard-hearted policies was, of course, a dedicated and tireless group of NIF project partners.
When government policy denied Ukrainian refugees access to Israel's health care system, Physicians for Human Rights Israel advertised that they provide clinical services to "any stateless person who comes to Israel" and plastered the address and phone number of their open clinic all over social media. Zazim – Community Action developed a campaign called "We Are All Refugees"; they pushed a petition with 12,000 signatures urging Shaked to accept refugees with no strings attached. So many other NIF voices spoke out, too: ACRI, Kav LaOved — Workers Hotline, and ASSAF — the Aid Organization for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Israel. The list is long.
But pushback also came from the broader Israeli public. Popular TV show Eretz Nehederet (Israel's version of SNL) depicted a border agent (who bore some resemblance to Shaked) repeating the refrain "our heart is open; our border is closed" and then, in black-and-white, portrayed her as a British official turning Jews away from Israel. Politicians also pushed her to stop demanding entry criteria for refugees. According to reporting by Haaretz, Yair Lapid texted her a handful of times from Ukraine's border as he toured it on Sunday. Last week, Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai called her rhetoric "baseless" and said that Israel should accept these refugees since it is "a Jewish imperative." After all of this, Shaked amended her proposals and agreed to allow refugees—at least those with relatives already in Israel—to enter freely.
Shaked's xenophobic and ultra-nationalist sensibilities have been deemed unacceptable by most Israelis–because the limelight is on Ukraine right now. But most Israelis aren't seeing what's happening in places that are just next door—places like Masafer Yatta.
On Tuesday, Israel's Supreme Court held a hearing to determine the fate of Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages home to 1,300 people in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank. In the early 1980s, the Israeli military declared the area to be "Firing Zone 918"—in other words, a military training ground. Decades of home demolitions and settler violence have followed that declaration.
In 1999, the army attempted to forcibly expel the residents, an act that is illegal under international law. The Association for Civil Rights Israel (ACRI), NIF's flagship project partner, filed a petition on the residents' behalf, winning an interim court order that allowed residents to return to their homes. That temporary measure has been in place for over two decades.
In the hearing on Tuesday, the military argued for an outcome that would make it nearly impossible for the 1,300 residents of Masafer Yatta to continue to live there.
Attorneys from ACRI are representing the residents of Masafer Yatta. A group of organizations and movements including NIFC project partners and organizations funded by the NIF global network Zazim, Omdim Beyachad (Standing Together), Breaking the Silence, and our friends at Peace Now organized a protest outside the courthouse during the hearing.
As always, NIF's project partners bring me hope in dark times. Whether it's ACRI attorneys fighting for Masafer Yatta residents in court, activists protesting for an end to the occupation, or Hashomer Hatzair supporting a network of safehouses for refugees in Ukraine, each one is laying a brick in the foundation for a better future for all.

Q: From $(p\lor q)\to r, s\to\neg p, s\land\neg q$, prove $\neg r$ Need help with this:
$$\frac{p\lor q\to r;s\to\neg p;s\land\neg q}{\therefore\neg r}$$
How do I prove that $\neg r$ is in fact true?

A: The only premise you have involving $r$ is the first one, which has the form $XYZ\to r$.  No matter how much you know or can prove about $XYZ$, you will never be able to conclude $\lnot r$ from this; it only tells you a condition under which you can conclude $r$.
Compare: "If you steal, you will be arrested."  Could you ever be certain that you won't be arrested?  No, of course not.  Whether or not you steal, you might be arrested for tax fraud or for wearing the wrong shirt on Wednesday.

Civic Theatre Society's Josh Wapp stands with his fistful of cash after another successful fundraising weekend at the Nelson theatre.
Last weekend the Nelson Civic Theatre's community challenge reached over $100,000. The society is now two-thirds of the way to meeting a $150,000 fundraising campaign goal.
Ley reports that seat sponsorships at $250 and private donations from $50 to $5,000 have all contributed to the cause. The theatre's March Movie Weekend was a fundraising success.
"It proves that if a lot of people contribute even a little, we can reach our goals. With five weeks to go, with this community, I know we can do it," says Ley.
Digital projection and sound is the first fundraising goal for the society, which will eventually convert the theatre into a three-screen cinema showing Hollywood, independent, and classic films as well as providing a flexible venue for community use. By the end of this year the film industry will have made its own digital conversion, no longer striking 35mm film prints. That means that theatres that can't make the digital conversion will have increasingly limited access to old print films.
Currently, the Civic Theatre shows movies on the third weekend of each month, with the next movie weekend slated for April 19 to 21. Once digital, the society hopes to show films every weekend as well as being available for community events of all kinds.
For information on the work of the Nelson Civic Theatre Society and the community challenge go to civictheatre.ca.


The country's birthday is in a week or so, and the patriotic colors will probably be all the rave for people who want to celebrate the 4th of July. This holiday is commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
Celebrating the birthday of the country has grown into a big business when it comes to party decorations, and the colors are simply the colors of the United States…red, white, and blue.
These three colors have been placed on plates, cups, banners, cupcakes, and even people. Many of us have parties with friends and family. So here are some decoration and food ideas to have for your patriotic party.
Here are some cocktails that can go along with that family bbq or gathering.
Muddle fresh blueberries and add syrup, Lucid, juice and vodka. Add ice and shake and pour into highball glass. Drizzle Liqueur and top with Ginger Beer. Garnish with one sugar cube.
Lightly spray bundt pan or gelatin mold (10 cup volume) with non stick cooking spray. Wipe off the excess spray with a paper towel. A slight residue should remain, just enough to help unmold your gelatin, without affecting the taste or appearance.
Have 9 clean bowls ready to prepare your layers.
Prepare the red and blue layers, in separate pans. Pour the gelatin dessert mix into medium-sized bowls. Pour the water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle each with the envelope of plain gelatin. Allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes). Pour the warm water/gelatin mixture into the bowls containing the gelatin dessert mix. Stir until dissolved (about 2 minutes each). Remove from heat. Pour in the liquor, and stir well. Set aside and prepare the white gelatin.
For the white gelatin, pour the water into a saucepan and sprinkle with the 6 envelopes of plain gelatin. Allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes). Stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat, and stir in the liquors. Set aside.
Grab the 9 clean bowls, and prepare the layers by mixing gelatin as shown in the chart below.
Add the first layer to the prepared mold. refrigerate about 15 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (it should stick to finger when touched.) Gently spoon the gelatin for the next layer over the set gelatin, and return the pan to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. As the layers progress, the setting time will become shorter as the pan and gelatin becomes colder, and the layers become thinner as more are added to the mold.
Repeat steps with remaining gelatin layers, for a total of 9 layers. If you find the gelatin is setting up before its ready to go in the mold, just microwave for 5 to 10 seconds and stir well before adding to the mold. After completing all the layers, refrigerate the gelatin overnight.
To unmold, fill a larger container or clean sink with warm water (not too hot!). With clean fingers, loosen the gelatin around the edges of the mold cavities. Next, dip the mold almost to the edge into the warm water for just a few seconds (10 seconds worked for me). Dry the bottom of the mold with a towel and check the edges to see if they are loose, if not, repeat the dip for just a few seconds. Place your serving plate on top of the mold and invert.
Working with three colors actually make planning a party pretty simple. Celebrating with family and friends means having fun and creating memories. So whatever you plan or do to commemorate the independence of the country, enjoy!


Whether you travel to and from school by bus, by vehicle, by bicycle or by foot, check out these safety tips for each type of transportation below.
Try to avoid walking to and from the bus stop alone – walk with a family member or friend.
Avoid being in a hurry by allowing yourself enough time to arrive to the bus stop at least five minutes early.
Look left, right, then left again before crossing a street.
Don't go toward the bus until it has completely stopped, its door is open and its safety lights are flashing.
Stay within the bus driver's view at all times, and only walk in front of the bus – not behind it.
If you happen to drop something by the bus, tell the driver first before picking it up.
Respect the driver and follow the rules: remain seated, don't stick anything out of the windows and speak quietly so the driver can focus.
A seatbelt should be worn at all times.
Eliminate distractions while driving, such as changing the radio station or playing music at a loud level.
Avoid texting while driving – it's against the law and will cost you money in fines.
Make sure your helmet is approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and that it is worn every time you ride your bike, no matter the distance.
It's best to ride your bike when it is light outside. Wear brightly colored or reflective clothing when possible to make yourself most visible to others.
Routinely check your bike's condition, paying attention to the tires, seat, brakes and handlebar height.
Stop and look both ways before crossing the street, stop at all intersections and use hand signals when turning.
Walk the route first to ensure it is free of hazards, has good visibility, pedestrian room at a safe distance from traffic and doesn't have any dangerous crossings. A well-trained crossing guard should be at every intersection.
Avoid walking to school alone – walk with a family member or friend(s).
Dress in brightly colored clothing when possible to make yourself most visible to others.
Make sure you are prepared for changing conditions. Wear warm clothing if you're walking in cold weather or have a water bottle with you when walking in hot weather.
Have a backup transportation plan when there is bad weather.


The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will receive $3 million in annual funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for research in quantum computing that could "solve some of science's hardest problems," according to a Berkeley Lab press release issued Tuesday.
The funding will be split between two Berkeley Lab teams: a hardware team and a software team. Funding for the software team is guaranteed for the next three years, while funding for the hardware team is guaranteed for the next five years. The renewal of this funding is dependent on the Department of Energy's budget, according to Jonathan Carter, computing sciences area deputy at Berkeley Lab.
Quantum computing is completely different from traditional computing, Carter said. While generic computers encode information in bits, with each bit representing a particular state, quantum computers process information through qubits, which can reflect multiple states at once.
Traditional computers process information in binary, with data represented by zeros and ones. Quantum mechanics, however, allows quantum computers to process any number between zero and one, according to Bert de Jong, head of the computational chemistry, materials and climate group at Berkeley Lab. Instead of processing data in series, quantum computers can process all of the data at once.
Carter explained that quantum computing could be used in the future to understand complex scientific processes, such as fertilization processes. According to Carter, fertilization processes are still relatively obscure and energy-intensive because scientists do not know exactly how the nitrogenase catalyst — a prominent enzyme in the fertilization reaction — functions. With quantum computing, a simulation can be done to model the complicated process of a nitrogenase reaction, allowing scientists to understand how it functions and possibly discover a more energy-efficient catalyst.
The Berkeley Lab quantum computing hardware team will focus the allocation of its $1.5 million in annual funding on constructing a physical quantum computer. Meanwhile, the software team, led by de Jong, will use its annual $1.5 million in funding to construct algorithms and develop ways to program a quantum computer.
De Jong mentioned that his team is working with software companies such as IBM and Microsoft on this project and that he has high hopes for its success.
"I am confident that quantum computing will become a reality," de Jong said.

A little care, can make a world of difference. Think of those around you. Safe bicycling is a state of mind, not just compliance with the local traffic regulations.
Most club bicycle rides are a challenge in group riding skills. Often, cyclists are more hazardous to other cyclists then cars are. Good group riding skills can make group rides much more enjoyable and significantly less dangerous. The key to good group riding is being predictable and communicating with the other cyclists around you.
Hand signals are a good way to communicate your intentions to both cyclists and cars, and they are required by law. But often your hands may be occupied or it may be difficult to warn of an impending road hazard with hand signals.
Car Back - a car is behind you and is trying to pass. Upon hearing this, all cyclists should quickly single up (ride single file) and move as far to the right as possible.
Car Up - a car is coming from ahead.
(Passing) On Your Left - very useful, lets cyclists, runners, and walkers know that you are about to pass them. When using this one, be careful around people who may not be familiar it (such as many of the people walking along the Charles River Bicycle path).
Left, Right - use these to supplement turn signals or to warn people of an immediate and quick turn. Also use these when it is not possible to use hand signals.
Bump, Glass - these warn cyclists behind you of impending road hazards. You can also use your hands to point out avoidable hazards on the road such as pot holes, gratings, etc.
The above voice signals are meant as a general guide. Feel free to improvise as the situation merits.
Don't be shy. When you see some hazard approaching, let yourself be heard. I do. And remember to think of those around you.

Find ABA and Section resources to help you build a successful law career while in school.
The Section of Labor and Employment Law strives to provide resources useful to law students interested in learning more about the dynamic field of the labor-management practice area. From the orientational Law School Outreach Program sessions to special student pricing at the wide variety of substantive programming, the Section is constantly working to help guide students and assist in their development.
On January 27, 2013, in Dallas, Texas, the Section concluded its Ninth Annual Law Student Trial Advocacy Competition. In a split decision the team from the University of Pennsylvania prevailed over a team from Quinnipiac Law School in Bridgeport. Connecticut. As in the past few years, Judge Bernice Donald served as the judge for the final trial. The teams were vocal in their praise for her constructive advice. Judge Donald also attended the program reception on Saturday evening and spoke to all the participants about the value of membership in the ABA generally, and in the Labor and Employment Section particularly, to their careers and their ability to network.
The preliminary rounds of the competition took place during October and November in eight regional cities: Boston; New York; Washington D.C.; Miami; Chicago; Dallas; Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ninety-eight teams participated in a series of mock trials presenting and defending a claim of age discrimination in employment. The winners in each region included the University of Akron, Northwestern University, South Texas Law School, Golden Gate School of Law, Pepperdine Law School, and St. Thomas University.
The hosts for the Dallas finals were regional co-chairs Yona Rozen and Ed Berbarie who recruited volunteers to serve as judges and evaluators, and, with the excellent assistance of the Section staff, arranged a lovely reception on Saturday night at the Adolphus Hotel and generally made everyone feel most welcome.
The national co-chairs of the advocacy competition already are looking toward our Tenth Anniversary program in the fall. What began as a competition among four law schools in Washington, D.C. is now one of the Section's most ambitious undertakings and one that is enthusiastically received by the law school community. The competition cannot go forward without a great deal of input from section members. The opening rounds of the competition called upon more than 500 evaluators and judges in the eight regional cities who spent half a day or more at the program itself. Work will begin shortly on a new case file and the committee is looking for a fact pattern and materials on which to base that file. The specific dates for each of the programs should be decided within the next 90 days and information concerning the program should be available on the Section website.
Prior to the ABA Section of Labor & Employment Law's 6th Annual Labor & Employment Conference, the Outreach to Law Students Task Force issued the following mentoring notes to the law student Conference attendees to provide networking insight. The Task Force believes these notes are applicable to all types of networking events--from multi-day conferences to social receptions--and has republished them here with the hope that they will help to continue promoting productive networking going forward.
Study the Conference Schedule and Identify Three Speakers Whom You Will Meet. When choosing programs to attend, take time to do internet research about the speakers for each program. Identify at least three speakers whose legal practice is of interest to you. Make it a point to go up to these speakers after their program to introduce yourself and see what ideas they might have on how you break into the field.
Review the Conference Attendee Roster and Identify 10 Attorneys You Will Seek Out. To ensure your networking efforts are focused outside of the programs, identify at least 10 attorneys whose legal practice is of interest to you--make certain you find a way to meet them.
Identify Trending Topics in Labor & Employment. The Conference schedule will clue you into the hot topics labor & employment practitioners are facing today. Take time to research a few of the topics to give you talking points when engaging in conversations with attorneys throughout the conference. It is easier to engage in meaningful conversation if you have a substantive interest in labor & employment law.
Meet the Event Chairs/Organizers. Make it a point to meet the event hosts/organizers, and any other group leaders attending the event, such as the Chair of the Section of Labor & Employment Law or Chair of whichever substantive practice area committee that interests you. Thank them for coordinating the event. If interested, ask them about opportunities--even informal--to get involved in the group such as helping to plan future events.
Have Three to Five Questions to be Answered at the Conference. Identify three to five questions--whether about labor & employment law, career tips, or law student course selections--that you will seek to have answered in your conversations with attorneys throughout the Conference.
Follow up! Make sure to collect cards and send follow-up e-mails to the attorneys you meet. Be sure to identify something memorable about your conversation and find ways to stay connected with the attorneys you meet at the Conference.

A look at the Student Commons Building where focus will now be placed on the interior finishing.
Watch for more to come about this exciting renewal of our Silver King Campus in Rosemont.
With the Silver King Campus renewal project finishing up the shop renovation phase, students and instructors are setting into a new learning environment that helps learners reach their trades training goals.
As part of a province-wide tour of British Columbia post-secondary institutions, the new Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training toured through Nelson to take a closer look at what Selkirk College has to offer and learn more about the issues facing students and staff.
Students and staff at the Selkirk College Silver King Campus are preparing for a new learning era in Nelson courtesy of a major project that is refreshing the aging facility. One of the most visible elements of the renewal project has now started to take shape.
The pace of the Selkirk College Silver King Campus renewal project has picked up in the last month and it's heading into full steam ahead. With more hands needed to get the job done, general contractor Yellowridge Construction is finding help in the shops that are currently undergoing a transformation.
Nelson's Silver King Campus has served the region for more than 50 years and through its trades training programs has helped build the foundation of our economy. With an eye to the future, both the federal and provincial governments are investing in a renewal that will see students in all programs benefit from modern learning spaces.
Selkirk College staff and students gathered at Nelson's Silver King Campus on Thursday morning to celebrate the announcement of a $14 million contribution from the provincial government that will enable an important renovation and revitalization of the 50-year-old facility.
Nelson's Silver King Campus was bustling more than usual on Wednesday as current students and staff welcomed the community to the 50th Birthday Barbecue on a perfect West Kootenay autumn day. More than 400 people turned out to join in the celebration that marked five decades of learning on the Silver King Campus.

Early optimism fades with EU crisis
By Sean Milmo2011-12-21T11:08:00+00:00
The mood has dropped with the economic outlook
For chemical companies, particularly those in the developed world, 2011 started with some optimism about the prospect of faster growth as demand fully recovered from recession. But that mood gradually changed as the world economy deteriorated in response to the threat of financial disaster in Europe. So, by the end of the year, chemical producers were facing the dilemma of how to deal with the effects of possible economic turmoil.
However, in meeting this challenge, many international chemical companies have put themselves in their strongest financial position for some years. They are certainly better prepared for a sharp drop in demand than they were before the financial crisis of 2008.
'It is going to be a very tough 2012 for the chemicals sector with a likely sharp decline in demand and probably in prices as well,' says Paul Hodges, chairman of the London-based consultancy International eChem. 'But most of the bigger chemical companies have been ensuring their balance sheets are in a good state,' he continues. 'Their response to the recession has been to store up cash so that they will be able to handle a squeeze on credit.'
Also, in contrast to 2008, chemical companies, particularly in Europe and North America, have been careful to keep down their inventories - their stock piles of chemicals - so that they are not left with a lot of unsold stock when demand decreases.
'Inventories are relatively well balanced in the US chemicals sector,' says Kevin Swift, chief economist at the American Chemistry Council, which represents US chemical producers. 'Also, many supply chains inventories in the country are now at relatively low levels. If there is a downturn, industry should not be as badly hit as in previous crises.'
Strength in Asia
The international chemical companies with plants in the Asia Pacific and other emerging regional markets will be the most resilient in tackling worsening economic conditions. 'They have been showing good sales and profits during the first nine months of this year because they have been able to benefit from the high growth in Asia and other fast expanding markets,' says Amit Sharda, chemicals analyst at Oxford Economics in the UK.
Dow Chemical recorded a 17% rise in sales in the third quarter, while earnings before tax increased by 53%. In the first nine months of the year, sales were up 15% and pre-tax profit 51%. 'Our investments in emerging regions enabled us to capitalise on growth where it is happening most rapidly,' said Andrew Liveris, Dow's chairman and chief executive, when the results were released.
DuPont's sales went up by 32% and pre-tax income by 72% in the third quarter while over the nine months sales increased by 22% and profit by 11%. The company is expecting 20% sales growth in the Asia Pacific region this year.
BASF, the world's largest chemicals company by most measures, is expecting sales and earnings for 2011 to 'significantly exceed' those of 2010 after announcing a 17% increase in sales and 9.5% in operating profit in the first nine months of 2011.
However, the high sales and profit levels of the multinational companies in the third quarter disguised the underlying slowdown in the world's economy, which has started to be reflected in the regional figures for chemicals output since the middle of the year. An unexpected rise of 3.4% in chemical output in Europe in the first half of 2011 prompted the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), representing the region's chemical producers, to forecast a 4.5% increase for the whole of the year. This contrasted with a predicted increase of 2.5% in late 2010.
But by September, Cefic's forecasting panel had reverted to its original prediction, a 2.5% increase, because of expectations of a sharp fall in the third quarter in the wake of a slowdown in GDP growth in the EU and a slump in business confidence owing to the sovereign debt debacle in the eurozone.
In November, the European commission warned of the risk of a new recession in the region. It predicted GDP growth of around 1% this year, falling to about 0.5% in 2012.
Even the chemicals boom in China is faltering, particularly in base chemicals, as the Chinese government restricts credit to combat inflation. Oxford Economics warns that growth in output of base chemicals could fall from 20% in 2010 to around 6% this year, well below an expected GDP rise of about 9%.
In the US, growth in chemicals production dropped from around 3% earlier in the year to 1.5% by the autumn, prompting the ACC to revise an earlier growth forecast of over 4% to 3.5% for the whole of 2011.
All hail the shale
However, the outlook for chemicals in the US is generally much brighter than it is for the sector in Europe. In a weekly economic trends report published in mid-November, the ACC reported 16 positive macroeconomic indicators out of 20, plus seven out of 10 positive chemical sector indicators. The proportion of positive macroeconomic indicators was the highest since May this year.
'The US is going through a manufacturing renaissance at the moment, which is helping the chemicals sector,' says Swift. 'We've got strong growth in chemicals exports mainly due to decreased feedstock costs following rising output of shale gas. Investment in chemicals is up, as well as employment and productivity in the sector. The rise in chemical jobs reverses a 30 year downward trend.'
Companies exposed to the consumer chemical market suffered this year
Nonetheless, the US chemical industry realises that a financial catastrophe in Europe triggered by the breakup of the eurozone would have a severe impact across the Atlantic.
'As one of my colleagues said, the US economy is the best looking horse in the glue factory at the moment,' Swift says. 'Currently, it looks like the US is not going back into recession. But all bets are off if Europe gets into deep financial trouble.'
Even if a double-dip recession is avoided in the developed world, chemical producers in Europe and North America will still have to struggle with the effects of high raw material costs. These were a major influence on demand and margins throughout 2011 and are likely to continue to be well into 2012.
From late 2010 to the spring of this year, a rise of around 50% in the price of crude oil was, ironically, a key factor behind the demand for chemicals in early 2011, particularly for petrochemicals and their derivatives such as polymers. 'Chemical purchasers bought forward in anticipation that prices would continue to go up,' says Hodges. 'This gave an appearance of rising real demand, when in fact consumers had stopped buying many products because they had to pay out more for higher priced fuels and energy.'
Commodity-based chemical businesses tended to perform best during the year. During the first nine months of 2011, BASF's petrochemical sales rose by 19% and performance plastics by 20%, mainly due to price increases.
Those companies with businesses close to the consumers, like decorative paints, in which there was little room to pass on higher raw material costs, did less well financially. AkzoNobel, the global leader in decorative paints, reported a 12% drop in EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) in the third quarter on a sales rise of 5%. Over nine months, EBITDA fell 6% against a sales increase of 8%.
'It is unusual to have a slowdown in the economy with high or rising raw material prices,' says Alan Eastwood, economic adviser to the UK Chemical Industries Association. 'Commodity chemical producers have been restructuring and reducing inefficiencies by closing uneconomical plants, which has cut supplies of some raw materials.'
One material with which supplies have got out of line with demand has been the white pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2), whose prices have risen by around 50% over the last 18 months.
The TiO2-producing performance chemicals segment of DuPont, which is one of the world's biggest TiO2 suppliers, increased sales by 28% in the third quarter, mainly due to higher prices for the pigment. In the first nine months of the year, pre-tax profits of the segment almost doubled.
AkzoNobel has decided to move upstream into TiO2 production through a partnership with Guangxi CAVA Titanium Industry to build a 100,000 tonne per year TiO2 plant in China. One third of the output will be allocated to AkzoNobel, which the company claims will give it easier access and make it more competitive.
With many chemical companies now holding large cash reserves, there was a relatively high level of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in chemicals during the year, despite the economic conditions.
'There was more activity in the first half than there has been in the second half, but on the whole 2011 has been a strong year for M&As in chemicals,' says Ariel Levin, a partner in the Valence Group, a chemicals consultancy. 'Cash rich chemical companies are using acquisitions and divestments to restructure their portfolios, strengthen their leadership positions and gain greater presence in growth areas.' Among the large acquisitions of the year were DuPont's $9 billion (?5.7 billion) takeover of the food ingredients maker Danisco, China National Chemical Group's purchase of Israeli agrichemicals producer Makhteshim Agan Group and Berkshire Hathaway's acquisition of Lubrizol.
Meanwhile, initial public offerings (IPOs) were postponed because of the state of the financial markets. Evonik, a German speciality chemical producer, has held back what would have been one of the biggest chemicals IPOs for many years. Similarly, HC Starck, a German electronic chemicals maker that was formerly part of Bayer, has put aside a planned IPO.
In Europe at least, chemical companies are not currently expecting a return to more normal economic conditions until 2013 at the earliest. After a promising start, 2011 ended amidst a great deal of uncertainty.

Planned Parenthood, China and Reproductive Slavery
By Jason Jones & John Zmirak Published on November 4, 2015 •
Jason Jones & John Zmirak
Media have been ablaze with hopeful reports that forced abortion and the "gendercide" of baby girls will now be ended in China. In fact, little has changed, except that instead of forcing Chinese families to have just one child, now that country's totalitarian government will force them to have no more than two. This decision did not reflect any recognition by the Chinese Communist Party that parents have any right to control the size of their families, nor that women must be freed from forced abortions, much less that human life is sacred. Far from it. The Chinese generals and technocrats simply crunched the numbers and decided that they need more cannon and factory fodder to fuel that country's expansion, so they issued a single order that a billion people must follow.
Human rights activists such as Stephen Mosher and Reggie Littlejohn have documented in heart-rending detail the results of the "one-child" policy adopted in 1980 by a Communist government terrified of "overpopulation" that might lead to its loss of absolute control over Chinese society. (That same government, just nine years later, would roll over student protesters with tanks in Tiananmen Square, to keep its iron grip on power.) A Chinese Communist official boasted that this policy had cut Chinese population growth by 400 million people, as of 2011. In a secretive dictatorship such as China, it is impossible to know how many of these casualties were the result of forced abortions.
A climate of fear and coercion has dominated Chinese family life for a generation, as informers and spies hunt down women with "illegal" pregnancies, and families desperate for at least one son to support them have resorted to sex selection abortion on a massive scale. According to Lifenews, in China, "more than 120 boys are born for every 100 girls. This has created a bachelor society of men who will be unable to marry and has given rise to more crime, sex trafficking, prostitution, and other problems." China has the highest female suicide rate on earth.
As Congressman Chris Smith told Lifenews, China's policy, which will remain in place for women after their second birth,
is unlike any other in the world in that it requires all women to obtain a birth permit before becoming pregnant and children of unwed mothers are subjected to abortions. And it monitors the reproductive cycles of all women of childbearing age through a system of mandatory, regular, and crudely invasive physical check-ups. …
"The brave pregnant woman who refuses to give in is usually detained and beaten – or, if she goes into hiding, her relatives are detained and beaten. Families that succeed in hiding an 'out-of-plan' pregnancy are punished with fines up to ten times the average annual income," he explained.
In fact, however, Rep. Smith is missing something. China's policy is not unprecedented. It is simply the implementation of a plan that was floated back in 1934. In America. By a female "progressive." Her name was Margaret Sanger. In the depths of the Great Depression, the eugenics-obsessed elitist and libertine Sanger took advantage of the newfound hope which voters had placed in the New Deal's big, federal agencies to propose that the U.S. government impose a centralized, coercive plan of government control over childbearing.
As Sanger wrote in "America Needs a Code for Babies":
Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies, to assist couples who wish to prevent overproduction of offspring and thus to reduce the burdens of charity and taxation for public relief, and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit. …
Article 3. A marriage license shall in itself give husband and wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.
Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, and no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit for parenthood. …
Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth. …
Article 8. Feeble-minded persons, habitual congenital criminals, those afflicted with inheritable disease, and others found biologically unfit by authorities qualified judge should be sterilized or, in cases of doubt, should be so isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.
China followed Sanger's plan to the letter — with the direct involvement of the Chinese branch of her own organization, Planned Parenthood, which helped to enforce the policy on the ground, shaking down peasants for crippling fines to punish "illegal" births. Since China's mode of family planning has true-blue American roots, perhaps we shouldn't be shocked when U.S. academics such as Sarah Conley of Bowdoin College defend China's genocidal policy, and argue that it ought to prevail worldwide.
Are We Images of God, or Termites?
This isn't a national question. It's an anthropological question. There are two radically different ways to view human beings:
As creatures born to families, enfolded in communities but fundamentally free, conscious, responsible reflections of the holy image of God.
As hive insects, like termites, hatched into rigidly ruled colonies — whose work, life, and breeding are controlled by the queen (or elite) at the top, which alone understands what is best for the swarm of mindless workers and drones.
The first is the classical Christian picture of man, which came to fruition in the wake of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, when the full implications of our freedom and moral equality as sons of God made themselves most powerfully felt: Representative government flowered across the West, movements grew to abolish serfdom and slavery, and free economies unleashed the vast inventive power and productivity of ordinary people. The outcome? In dozens of countries the average lifespans increased by decades, and populations expanded, as famine and punishing scarcity became the exceptions, not the rule. For the first time, most parents could be sure they might feed their families, and fewer and fewer infants were carried off by disease.
The second view is that of elitists, who are deeply pessimistic about the dignity, worth, and capacity of most of the human race. Except for a chosen few (selected by race, ideology, or wealth), the vast majority of human beings are stumbling, self-harming serfs, whose lives need controlling by the select few who know better. This vision of human life found its full expression in totalitarian movements of the twentieth century, whose roots lay in nineteenth century pseudo-sciences such as racism, eugenics, and Marxist economics.
Today's elitists, like yesterday's, treat the Christian view with contempt, as a crude relic of the past that enables the clueless masses to follow their blind instincts. Lately we have learned that some psychologists are trying to label religious instruction of the young as a form of child abuse that could lead to loss of custody by parents, while other scientists are calling religious belief a form of mental illness that can be cured (we're not making this up) by "treating" believers' brains with magnets. Such methods may be what is needed to solve the profound ecological problems posed by the masses' right to vote, which worries the richest man on earth, Bill Gates.
In fact, it is only the ancient Judeo-Christian picture of human rights that can protect us from modern and post-modern pseudo-science, and defend the rights of women to bear their own children and raise their own families — without the bloody-handed interference of distant men in white coats or military uniforms who conceive of themselves as members of some higher and wiser species, with the right to spay and neuter whomever they choose.

COPD Triple-combination Therapy Approved in China, AstraZeneca Announces
by Vanessa Pataia
Click here to subscribe to the COPD News Today Newsletter!
AstraZeneca's triple-combination therapy for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been approved in China as a maintenance treatment. The therapy comprises three compounds: the corticosteroid budesonide, and two long-acting bronchodilators — glycopyrronium, a muscarinic antagonist, and formoterol fumarate, a β2-agonist. This combo treatment is known as PT010 outside of China, and as Breztri Aerosphere in Japan. It uses AstraZeneca's Aerosphere Delivery Technology, a delivery system based on a special aerosol formulation (inhalation aerosol). "With this approval, we are now able to provide a powerful new triple-combination therapy to patients for whom new treatments are critically needed. Our triple-combination therapy is administered in a pressurised metered-dose inhaler, an important device option for clinicians and patients in China," Mene Pangalos, executive vice president of biopharmaceuticals research and development at AstraZeneca, said in a press release. According to Pangalos, COPD "affects almost 100 million people in China, and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality." The new approval was based on the results of a Phase 3 clinical trial called KRONOS (NCT02497001), which compared the triple combo with the dual-combination therapies PT009 — containing formoterol fumarate and budesonide — and Bevespi Aerosphere, which contains formoterol fumarate and glycopyrronium. Patients participating in the 24-week KRONOS trial had moderate-to-very-severe COPD. The results showed that patients with COPD who received the triple combo had improved respiratory function and a 52% reduction in the frequency of moderate or severe exacerbations compared with patients receiving only the dual-combination therapies.

Viagra is one of the most expensive medicines in the market today despite facing many competitors like Cialis, Levitra, and it generic brands of ED medicines. It becomes more expensive to people who are using health insurances like Medicare because this medicine is not covered by life insurances. For its soaring high price, how can you find a legitimate generic Viagra to trust?
Generic Viagra refers to a brand of ED medicines that has sildenafil citrate as its main ingredient. Because it is easy to tell a fake Viagra from a legit one, some scammers are now into producing generic Viagra medicines. The problem with generic Viagra brands is how to tell if you are using a safe generic Viagra or a dangerous generic Viagra brand.
But why would people still pay for generic Viagra even if they knew the danger? According to studies, men suffering from impotence are ashamed to tell their doctors about their conditions hence they just hide it. They choose to trust unknown ED medicines online and hope for the best result.
In the US, generic Viagra just became available in December of 2017 as Pfizer's patent for Viagra has already expired.
To date, the only generic brand known for Viagra is the one that Pfizer produced (sildenafil) and one from Teva Pharmaceuticals. All other generic Viagra brands from other countries are not Food and Drug Administration approved. They claim though that their drugs are approved by their local health regulatory boards.
In India where the medical law is not as strict in the US, most large pharmaceutical companies have started producing generic Viagra as early as 2000. Indian pharmaceutical houses like Cipla, Ajanta and Sun Pharma are among the top producers of Indian Viagra brands. They are claiming that their products are safe and are proven to be effective. Can we trust them? Here are some of the things to consider as to why you should reconsider when trying to purchase an ED medicine.
Generic Viagra brands are being sold at a very competitive price of less than $3 per tablet. Most of these brands are Indian brands. If you have the money to pay for your meds, it is best to trust a brand that has been tested, regardless of its price. Viagra's patent just expired and the Food and Drug Administration is currently testing generic Viagra brands so while waiting for it, take Pfizer's Viagra for the meantime.
Is Generic Viagra Legal in the United States?
Generic Viagra is now legal in the United States but there is no FDA approved brand yet that can be sold within the country. The patent of Pfizer for its Viagra just expired last December of 2017 and the FDA has not approved any generic Viagra brand yet.
If you are in the US and you are looking for a cheap alternative for Viagra, you can check some of the offers from our trusted online pharmacies. We have rated some of these online pharmacies that offer generic Viagra based on their reliability when it comes to delivering order, pricing, and background.
To date, there are news that Pfizer will be releasing its own version of generic Viagra and that Teva Pharmaceutical, the biggest manufacturer of generic medicines is also working on their own version of Viagra. These generic Viagra brands will soon be available in the US, if they passed FDA certification.
Is There a Generic for Viagra in Canada?
If India is the largest manufacturer of generic Viagra medicines, Canada is the home of some of the biggest online pharmacies on the market today. Most online pharmacies that we knew are operating from Canada and are offering generic Viagra in Canada and in most parts of the world.
To this date, there is no Food and Drug Administration Approved generic Viagra yet. However, Indian pharmaceutical companies are claiming that their produced generic Viagra medicines are Indian FDA approved and are safe to use.
If you just had a prescription for an ED medicine but you want to save some bucks from buying the expensive Viagra, finding a tested and trusted generic Viagra is an alternative. You can check some of the Indian-produced generic Viagra brands online and make your own research on which one to trust. We have a list of trusted online pharmacies that you can also check in case you don't know where to start finding those generic Viagra brands.
For your safety, choose online pharmacies that have a logo of CIPA or WHO as well as the Food and Drug Administration. Do not give confidential information like credit card information if you are not fully comfortable with a certain website. In addition, if you have the means to purchase branded Viagra, just do so. It is better to be safe and get cured than spend your money on some counterfeit medicines.
Overseas Generics: Is Indian Viagra Safe?


Hi ya'll! It's been busy busy busy here lately. And while the holidays have passed, we're still running around for some reason. My husband's close friend, Tony, is here visiting from Switzerland for a little while, and his daughter who is also from Switzerland, and his mother from Alaska- so our house is full and loud and I wouldn't want it any other way.
With so many people running in all directions and different schedules, it's difficult to meal plan, at least for me. I'm the cook. The chef. The one who has been assigned meals. Ok, what do I prepare at 5p on a Thursday night, while the Christmas things are being packed away? CHICKEN!
I threw the frozen chicken tenders into a big stock pot, we have 8 people eating dinner so I cooked 2 lbs. Added 1 cup of water, temperature doesn't matter as it will help steam the chicken. Sprinkled in one packet of taco seasoning, 2 tbsp fajita seasoning and a few dashes of crushed red pepper flakes. Put the lid on and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken was firm.
Only turn chicken once about 12 minutes in. Why, you ask? Proteins get finicky and while they're cooked they firm up. That means they lose juices. Juices are flavor, don't want to lose those. Turn a minimum amount of times to seal the juices in and allow for tastier proteins.
Once the chicken was completed, I cut it up and threw it back into the stock pot to soak-up the "left-behind" juices. While I may be a cook/chef/preparer of food, I do not make my own taco shells, at least not while trying to cook for so many and quickly. Prepare the taco shells, that really only consists of taking them out of the bag, haha! Shred the cheese. Grabbed the guacamole (recipe below) and sour cream. Viola! TIME TO EAT!
It took me 22 minutes to pull these together and they were delicious. Perfectly tender chicken, flavorful and with a kick. They were so good, my son who is 3 ate two! Nothing fancy however it really turned out well. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did last night.
Using the meat of your avocado, the green stuff, smash the goodness into a bowl using a fork. I like mine a little chunky but you can smash until your heart is happy. Squeeze the lime over the avocado and fold together. Combine all remaining ingredients. Taste it and adjust to what you like. I sometimes add salsa, more salt, crushed red pepper, cheese, you options are only limited to what you enjoy eating.
Enjoy you wonderful people!! And Happy New Year!

Free workshop events (Huddersfield and Manchester): Space, place and 'othering': Deactivating the 'hostile environment'
Interrogating and challenging the UK's 'hostile environment' through research and activism
About the events
These ESRC Festival of Social Sciences events - co-delivered by the Centre for Citizenship, Conflict, Identity and Diversity, University of Huddersfield, and RAPAR, a human rights organisation based in Manchester - will comprise a co-delivered seminar and workshop to interrogate and challenge the 'hostile environment' that targets people seeking asylum in the United Kingdom. They will draw upon co-research between the University of Huddersfield and RAPAR's young people seeking asylum that took place as part of the PARTISPACE project funded by H2020 (2016-2018) and explored young people's participation in the hostile environment, as well as ongoing research on activism, campaigning and young people's lives. They will consider transcultural ideas of space, place and borders, who 'belongs' and 'others', and explore what and how discourses of othering, central to the 'hostile environment', enforce and reinforce exclusion and difference in individuals' everyday lived lives, and how people counteract these discourses through their own actions.
Welcoming academics, practitioners, the public, activists and advocates, the events will begin informally with refreshments and a screening of 'Faceless', a film written, produced, directed and performed by young people (aged 25-30) seeking asylum. A seminar talk describing ongoing participatory action research by and with young people seeking asylum will follow. Co-delivered by academics and community activists, the concluding workshop will explore participatory action research in the academy and community human rights activism to explore the question: How do the concepts of space, place and the 'other' materialise and what can we do, between us, to transform them?
The event will run twice: in Huddersfield (4th November 2019) and Manchester (7th November 2019), both 13.30 to 17.00.
VIGIL IN HULME TO DEMAND ACTION OVER RACIAL ATTACKS
On National Hate Crime Awareness Week, communities come together to reject racially motivated violence and call on Greater Manchester Police to investigate the incident properly
6pm Friday 18th October, Hulme Arch (Birchall Way/Stretford Road), Manchester M15 6BT)
The resident who came out of his home in Hulme to stop a young Asian man being violently attacked has welcomed a vigil being organised on Friday during National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
When Clive Pyott saw what was happening to the young man, he shouted "He's on the ground, leave him" but the two men then attacked him and he ended up in hospital with a broken nose and fractured jaw.
The incident, which happened on 24th August 2019, was a racially motivated attack. One of the men shouted "speak f**ing English" as they stamped numerous times on the head of a tall young Asian man.
This attack was reported to the police as both a racist hate crime and as a serious assault. The police were told that the attackers had come out of the Three Legs of Man pub and they returned to the same pub afterwards.
A description of the attacker who stamped on the young man's head was given to the police and he also appears on a video filmed by another local resident on his phone. Our understanding is that this attack was only recorded by the police as a hate crime when the story was carried in newspapers almost a month later (1)(2).
Clive, 50, has had messages of thanks and support from all over the country.
He says: "I acted instinctively, it was the human thing to do. But the police have not properly investigated a violent racially motivated hate crime against this young man. They have done nothing to protect me or others who witnessed the attacks. I welcome any action which highlights what has happened and the lack of response by GMP."
RAPAR was alerted to the incident by another Hulme resident. We understand that:
No police officer attended, despite having descriptions of the attackers and their location in the pub
The police did not interview anyone for three days, then they visited Clive
To this day, no statement has been taken from him. Last week, they took a statement from his neighbour who filmed the incident. Clive says this was "Too little, too late"
The police did not visit the pub until 17 days after the incident
By day 17, the CCTV footage was not available, despite laws that pubs should keep footage for 28 days
Only one officer was allocated to the case even though the level of violence could have potentially led to death - and has resulted in a very serious ongoing injury for Clive
The police have not asked the public to help them find and identify the first target, the tall Asian man, so that he can be helped
The police have now closed the case, apparently due to lack of evidence
Organisers of the vigil are calling on the police to act now. This includes widely circulating the video of the attack and the assailants, so that, hopefully, the younger man knows it is safe for him to come forward and help find the attackers.
Julie Ward, North West Member of the European Parliament and a long-time anti racist campaigner, said: "Greater Manchester is rooted in a history of struggle for equality and community cohesion. We completely reject all violence directed towards people because of their racial identity or because they intervene to stop others from being racially attacked."
Messages of support should be sent to admin(a)rapar.org.uk People can also sign the petition here.
Use hashtags #ChooseLove #NationalHateCrimeAwarenessWeek #RefugeesWelcome #WeStandTogether to tweet about the vigil.
Organisations supporting the vigil on Friday include Cohesive Communities, North West Unison Black Members' Group, RAPAR.

Here at Rainforest, we're always looking for ways to improve our users' testing workflow. Having an efficient test writing and triage process is essential to ensuring that your team gets the most out of Rainforest. With that in mind, we're excited to announce several new features designed to help you write and edit tests more effectively, and better measure the impact of your QA.
Want to improve your test writing skills? We know that getting the hang of writing great tests cases can take a bit of practice. That's why we've added Test Writing Helpers to the Rainforest platform. These are helpful tips that pop up as you're writing test steps to guide you in the right direction.
Tracking and measuring the results of your test runs is essential to building a strong QA strategy. We're adding new ways to categorize test failures to help you do just that.
We're also introducing two new Reports that give you insights into how your test failures have trended over time. You can now view the number of bugs caught over a specific period of time, as well as stats on who has been reviewing and triaging run results. This data is based on how you categorize test failures.
To find this information, navigate to the Reporting tab in Rainforest and look for two new cards under the "Results" header: "failure categories over time" and "'reviewed by' stats." With these new cards, you can see the distribution of failure categories including bugs, system issues and tests needing refactor.
Now you can add a new step anywhere in a test in Rainforest. Just hover your mouse between existing steps, and you will see an "Add Step" button, and add your new step. You can click the usual dropdown arrow to add an embedded test, if you wish. Previously you could only add a new step to the bottom of a test.
We're excited to announce an upcoming feature that is currently in beta for Rainforest customers: a discrete "Draft" state for tests. Rainforest now lets you keep track of which tests are being written and updated so you can streamline your test creation workflow. Draft helps you write tests more quickly, more accurately and gives you real time feedback from testing experts in the Rainforest QA tester community while in Draft.
Newly created tests now start as a draft until they are ready to be published. In the test view, draft tests have a yellow banner. In the test list, draft tests have the new draft icon next to the title.
When you run draft tests, they are sent to testers who focus specifically on providing feedback on test instructions. This way, you can quickly optimize your tests and get them ready to run. Any testers feedback on test instructions from draft runs will show up on the comments sidebar in the test view, adjacent to the step, so you can quickly act on it and improve your test.
Once the test has passed and you are ready to run it to catch bugs, just click the dropdown on the top right in the test view and select "publish". To view all your draft tests, look for the new view below "All Tests". This is your new landing page for all tests that need to be written or updated.
To learn more about running tests in Draft State, check out our Support Documentation on Draft. To try out Draft for yourself, contact your CSM!

Climate change cited in coal mine refusal
By Meagan Evans. Published at Feb 15, 2019, in The Green Keeper
In an Australian first, a NSW court has ruled against the development of a new coal mine due to concerns around greenhouse gas emissions and resulting climate change.
The ruling by Justice Brian Preston, chief judge of the NSW's Land and Environment Court, last week denied plans to develop Gloucester Resources Ltd's Rocky Hill Mine.
The controversial Rocky Hill open-cut coal mine is located in NSW's Hunter Valley, near the Mid North Coast town of Gloucester.
The ruling dismissed Gloucester Resources appeal of the Department of Planning and Environment's 2017 decision to not approve the mine. At the time, the state's Planning Minister, Anthony Roberts, refused a mining licence on the grounds that the proposal did not meet environmental and social requirements.
A rejection on that basis is not unusual. Ruling against the development of a mine (of any type) happens frequently and for varying reasons.
What's really interesting about this particular case is that the judge's reasoning incorporates concerns around climate change. Justice Preston asserted that the Rocky Hill mine would be "a material source of greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change".
He brought up the fact that the NSW government had endorsed the Paris climate agreement to cut emissions, setting itself the "goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050".
Therefore, he found it would be wrong to approve a new coal mine as its emissions would "increase global total concentrations of greenhouse gases at a time when what is now urgently needed, in order to meet generally agreed climate targets, is a rapid and deep decrease".
Justice Preston was clear in his reasoning, noting that "all of the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions of the Rocky Hill Coal Project will impact on the environment," and frankly accepted that "most fossil fuel reserves will need to remain in the ground unburned".
All up, over the mine life it would have contributed an estimated 37.8 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent — a sizeable individual source of such emissions, so his reasoning seems sound.
This most recent ruling against Gloucester's appeal has essentially shut the door on the mine's development, paving the way for other courts to make similar rulings. Essentially it's placing environmental interests, particularly those that are climate related, above coal miners' profits.
Given the status of the court and the seniority of Justice Preston, the NSW Environmental Defenders Office (EDO), expects the judgement to be highly influential.
Along with being the chief judge of the NSW's Land and Environment Court, Preston is also chief justice of the Land and Environment Court, and has sat as a judge in the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal — a clear level of seniority that will see his decision carry significant influence in other courts across Australia.
Taking a wider view, this judgement could have serious implications for other would-be coal miners and may have set a precedent for other Australian fossil-fuel projects.
Therefore, this historic decision is something for renewable and resource stock investors alike to bear in mind.

Will it now be harder to expand or establish new mines after the ruling?
David Morris, chief executive of the NSW EDO concludes that such a judgment "will be generally applicable to any coal mine in Australia".
However, the impact on individual coal miners won't be uniform across the board.
With less supply in the pipeline due to the rejection of the Rocky Hill mine and potentially other new, as well as expanded, coal mines, demand competition is likely to heat up.
In theory, at least, this should see coal prices rise, while production volumes fall.
For investors, it will come down to analysing their individual holdings. Miners planning to develop new mines or expand existing mines, possibly face increased regulatory barriers in light of the ruling. Yet those companies with mines already up and running, with no foreseeable additions, are less likely to face such pointed risks.
Then, of course, there's your own ethical stance to take into consideration. Fortunately, there are plenty of other, more environmentally friendly, options when investing in the energy space if you so wish...
Will limitations on coal mines spur greater uptake of renewables?
Tougher restriction around greenhouse gas emissions, along with limited fossil fuel supply, should carry over to benefit the country's renewable energy sector.
Existing fossil fuel power plants do remain one of the lowest cost forms of power in Australia, largely due to their sunk capital costs.
Yet according to the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator, new wind and solar farms will soon be cheaper, that's even without a carbon price. Already, solar and wind generation technologies are the lowest-cost ways to generate electricity for Australia, when compared to any other new-build sources.
Much of the limitations of these technologies to date have been to do with having sufficient capacity to store the power generation by wind and solar. Yet with rapidly improving battery technologies, these concerns should prove to be merely a hiccup.
Last week's Green Keeper column highlighted two ASX-listed renewables companies to keep an eye on:
New Energy Solar (ASX:NEW) — an ETF that invests in a diversified portfolio of solar energy assets. NEW owns and manages large scale solar generation facilities and may invest in other renewable energy assets including wind, geothermal, hydro-electricity, hybrid solutions.
Being a diversified ETF, this ones more suited to the less risk tolerant investors out there.
On the other side of the risk spectrum is Carnegie Clean Energy (ASX:CCE). CCE's technology seeks to harness wave energy – yes, from the ocean – but is some way off being commercial. Shareholder discontent, along with a dramatic drop in price of solar and wind power, have battered the share price. This is one for the high risk punters only.
Another small cap that you may prefer to add to your watchlist is Genex Power Ltd (ASX:GNX).
Genex is developing a renewable energy hub in north Queensland, integrating large-scale solar with pumped storage hydro.
The clean energy generation and electricity storage solutions provider has a development pipeline of up to 770MW of renewable energy generation and storage projects within its portfolio. The company has also acquired the 50MW Jemalong Solar Project in NSW, which is also under development.

Another death in my Mint family.
Brendan, our resident Sinatra/Bobby Darin lounge lizard has gone to the Great Karaoke Bar in the sky.
I don't have details, except that he died from pneumonia in the hospital over the weekend. Brendan was in my age range as far as I know, so I'm not sure if this was part of an on-going medical situation or a fluke. When Sebastian and I were at the Mint on Sunday, Jim the bartender mentioned that he hadn't seen Brendan for a few days, which was unusual.
Brendan was a regular, at the bar at least three or four nights a week. Drinking Martinis, doing shots and making lots of Are You Being Served jokes with the bar staff. I basically stopped doing Bobby Darin songs because he did them so much better than I did.
I wouldn't call him a close friend, but we were always glad to see each other, and spent hours at the bar together, sharing good times and snark.
So long Baddy! You'll be missed.
