Stephen Curry pays All-Star Saturday tribute to North Carolina shooting victim

NEW YORK — When Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry took the court at Barclays Center to compete in the Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout and Degree Shooting Stars contest on All-Star Saturday Night, he followed through on plans to "honor the memory" of Deah Shaddy Barakat, one of three Muslim students killed this week near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were shot to death on Tuesday in North Carolina, where Curry grew up and starred for Davidson College. Craig Stephen Hicks, "a self-described 'gun toting' atheist with a reputation for bullying his neighbors," later turned himself in and faces three charges of first-degree murder.
Barakat's sister, Suzanne, told reporters during a press conference in Raleigh, N.C., on Wednesday that her brother, a second-year dental student at the UNC School of Dentistry, "was well-known for his 'all embracing kindness, lightheartedness, dedication to community service, love for basketball and anything Steph Curry.'" He frequently communicated his love of Curry on his Twitter account.
Word of Barakat's fandom soon reached Curry, who tweeted a message of condolence:
#RIP to my fan and from what I hear a great human being @arabprodigy30, his wife & sister-in-law. Horrible tragedy & prayers to his family!
— Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30) February 13, 2015
Curry later decided to pay special tribute to Barakat, according to Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group:

Curry said he will write on his shoes and hoped the tribute to one of his biggest fans would be picked up by national television cameras at Barclays Center in Brooklyn as he participates in the Three-Point Contest.
"Even though we never met, I think it will hopefully mean a lot to his family and friends that knew what kind of a basketball fan he was to have some kind of peace knowing that people are thinking about him and they're not alone," said Curry, the leading vote-getter in the All-Star balloting. [...]
"[..] anytime you have a guy that was that supportive and takes it to a whole another level, I'm going to do something tonight," said Curry, who typically writes the Bible verse "I can do all things..." on his shoes.
Curry instead referenced a different verse, Romans 8:28. That passage reads, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Curry's planned tribute was briefly derailed, as the shoes he planned to wear during All-Star Saturday Night — two different variations of his signature Under Armour Curry One sneaker, the "Candy Reign" and "Father to Son" models, earmarked for the Three-Point Shootout and Shooting Stars contest, respectively — were "stolen in transit to Brooklyn," as reported by George Kiel of NiceKicks.com. The theft was reported in time for Under Armour to make alternate arrangements, though; ESPN.com's Darren Rovell reported that the backup pairs would be "carried to the Barclays Center for Curry to wear," and for him to pay his respects to his late fan.
After winning Saturday's Three-Point Shootout, Curry spoke briefly about his decision to commemorate Barakat's passing.
"I've been following the story all week," he said. "There's been a lot of supporters of him and his family, Deah and his family. Obviously having North Carolina roots, and once I got to know who Deah was as a person and the stories everybody was telling me, it only seemed right to honor him and his family, and hopefully they know that people are thinking about them.
"They're not alone, and hopefully it can give them some kind of peace and comfort knowing that he was a special guy. And I just did my little part to shed that light towards him. [...] Obviously it's a great platform to be on, but it only seemed right."

Vernal Pool
by Gerald Rowan
Credit - Western PA Conservancy
It was one of those rare days that happen in the changing of the seasons. The temperature was in the fifties, the sun spring warm on the skin, and the air had a lingering chill left over from a particularly hard winter. In late April, the sun was noticeably high above the horizon and brilliant in a clear blue sky. A cloudless sky—the product of a Canadian high pressure dome that had warmed a few degrees on its way south.
I walked a trail along Jordan Creek, in Lehigh County—a broad, flat creek still full of snowmelt. Ahead of me, a young couple walked with a black lab, clearly the family pet. They were absorbed in the day, playing with their dog, and enjoying each other. They would throw a stick ahead of them and the lab would run to retrieve it.
One of their throws was directed to and landed in a small vernal pool near the trail. The lab enthusiastically bounced down the trail and leaped into the air, landing in the small pool. The lab landing in the small vernal pool set off an explosion of a pair of mallards attempting to flee what they perceived as sudden death. The dog paddled around in the pool for a time, attempting to grip the stick that was thrown. The dog climbed out of the pool, shook himself vigorously, and ran back to the couple, with the stick in his mouth.
All innocent enough? Not quite. The pool contained thousands of frog and toad eggs just beginning to hatch. The pair of mallards had a nest in the tall grasses and bulrushes growing along the bank of the small pool. No foul, no harm? I walked to the pool to see. In either entering or leaving the pool, the dog had charged through the ducks' nest, destroying 3 of the clutch of 7 eggs laid there.
The dog probably killed a number of small tadpoles or smashed tadpole eggs laid there. This was a typical vernal pool. A shallow depression filled with spring meltwater, and an environment necessary for frogs and toads to reproduce. They instinctually seek out these quiet pools—places that, since they dry out in the late spring and summer, don't harbor any predators that might eat either their eggs or hatching tadpoles.
Still no foul, no harm? In thrashing around in the small pool, the lab stirred up a cloud of mud and silt. He climbed out of the pool, shook himself, and ran off down the trail hoping to get his stick tossed again. As the pool settled, a film of silt settled over the unhatched eggs. The forming tadpoles would normally draw oxygen from the water in the pool. The silt would choke them, causing a high mortality rate.
A stick thrown innocently enough had caused a microcatastrophe. The mallards would not return to the nest due to the destroyed eggs. The smell would surely attract raccoons or coyotes that night. They may or may not build a new nest this season. Hundreds and hundreds of frogs or toads would die in their egg cases without a chance—smothered by the fine silt that had settled over them.
I'm not faulting the couple who were walking their dog. I'm certainly not faulting their dog. The fault lies in not having an intimate understanding of nature. That same walk several weeks later would have had no adverse impact on the toads, frogs, or ducks. The mother mallard would have led her ducklings to the safety of the stream shortly after they were hatched. The tadpoles would have absorbed their tails, grown legs and lungs, and hopped away to the protection of some damp glade. Untold thousands of insects that would have been eaten by the young frogs and would have become part of the food chain. Some of those frogs and toads would have been food for wading birds, raccoons, and coyotes. Yet others would have wintered over to lay eggs the next spring in the same vernal pool they had hatched from. Fewer hikers on that trail would have had the annoyance of mosquito bites.
Understanding is important for several reasons. Knowing on a number of different levels allows for an enjoyment on a number of levels. Knowing nature generates a respect for nature and its complexity. Knowing nature allows a hiker to be in sync with nature. Knowing also increases the enjoyment of nature.
I grew up loving the woods and trails—everything about nature. This love has given me a strong desire to protect the environment. The challenge is how to spread this love and concern to others. It is my conclusion that the best way to protect wild Pennsylvania is to get people to love it. The more that people experience nature personally and understand it more fully, the more deeply they will come to love it. Nature operates as an interactive, interdependent system. There is an awe that settles over the hiker when he or she gets tuned into the system. There is a spirituality to be experienced in nature understood on this level.

Well, Bre picked a random number, of course she wanted to know why she was doing this. I asked her to just pick a number between 1 and 5, she could pick 1 or 5 or a number in between. After she finally realized I wasn't going to tell her why until AFTER she picked the number three. So Bree you are the winner. Bre thought it was funny she picked another Bree. Email me your address and I will try and get your package in the mail to you this week.
I am currently reading Twilight. I only have about 90 pages to go but I don't want to finish it until I get to target to buy the next in the series. I highly recommend this book. I just got it yesterday and was unable to put it down. I am so hooked. So I am off to target to get New Moon.
whoo hoo! Thanks Yvonne and Bre! You rock!


Modifications to Medicare Part B Coverage of Pneumococcal Vaccinations | Medical billing cpt modifiers and list of medicare modifiers.
Medicare Part B covers certain vaccinations including pneumococcal vaccines. For services furnished on or after May 1, 1981, through September 18, 2014, the Medicare Part B program covered pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine and its administration when furnished in compliance with any applicable State law by any provider of services or any entity or individual with a supplier number. Coverage included an initial vaccine administered only to persons at high risk of serious pneumococcal disease (including all people 65 and older; immunocompetent adults at increased risk of pneumococcal disease or its complications because of chronic illness; and individuals with compromised immune systems), with revaccination administered only to persons at highest risk of serious pneumococcal infection and those likely to have a rapid decline in pneumococcal antibody levels, provided that at least 5 years had passed since the previous dose of pneumococcal vaccine.
However, ACIP updated its guidelines regarding pneumococcal vaccines; now recommending the administration of two different pneumococcal vaccinations.
• A different, second pneumococcal vaccine one year after the first vaccine was administered (that is, 11 full months have passed following the month in which the last pneumococcal vaccine was administered).
to ensure reasonable and necessary pneumococcal vaccinations.
Medicare does not require that a doctor of medicine or osteopathy order the vaccine; therefore, the beneficiary may receive the vaccine upon request without a physician's order and without physician supervision.
Note that MACs will not search for and adjust any claims for pneumococcal vaccines and their administration, with dates of service on and after September 19, 2014. However, they may adjust such claims that you bring to their attention.

Navigating the corridor of inquiry
It's not often that I have an Aha! moment reading an academic article. Many have significant flaws and many of the best repeat what's been said many times before. But I had a very different reaction to Patricia M. Shields's "Pragmatism as a Philosophy of Science: A Tool for Public Administration."
The paper shows how pragmatism as a philosophy of science is used in a research methods class. The course includes guides to writing an empirical capstone project, such as steps to follow, the notebook method, and the classification of conceptual frameworks. But what makes it special is the explication of these in terms of their roots in the ideas of Peirce, Dewey, and James.
She quotes from William James (1904), who writes about the relation of pragmatism to theories:
Theories thus become instruments, not answers to enigmas, in which we can rest. We don't lie back upon them, we move forward, and, on occasion, make nature over again by their aid. Pragmatism unstiffens all our theories, limbers them up and sets each one at work…
All these [theories], you see, are anti-intellectualist tendencies… [pragmatism] stands for no particular results. It has no dogmas, and no doctrines save its method. As the young Italian pragmatist Papini has well said, it lies in the midst of our theories, like a corridor in a hotel. Innumerable chambers open out of it. In one you may find a man writing an atheistic volume; in the next some one on his knees praying for faith and strength; in a third a chemist investigating a body's properties. In a fourth a system of idealistic metaphysics is being excogitated; in a fifth the impossibility of metaphysics is being shown. But they all own the corridor, and all must pass through it if they want a practicable way of getting into or out of their respective rooms.
The paper accomplishes four major feats. First, it serves as an excellent introduction to pragmatism, articulating it in terms of actual experience and concrete action in the world, as pragmatists would have it. Second, it offers a way of thinking about research, which can help anyone who struggles with the relation between theory and practice, or gets stuck in dichotomies such as quantitative/qualitative. It show how theories can come alive, be unstiffened, so that they can help us make sense of experience without overconstraining. Third, the paper describes a creative use of an institutional repository, which helps students enter into a community of inquiry. See, for example, the excellent paper by Robert Brom (2000), Workplace diversity training: A pragmatic look at an administrative practice. Finally, it does a fine job of doing what it sets out to do, to describe the process of designing an excellent approach to a research methods or capstone course.

Nxivm trial testimony ends with video of founder discussing child sex abuse
Before resting their case after nearly six weeks of testimony, prosecutors played a video of Raniere, 58, talking about how the age of sexual consent differs in various countries and states.
"Most people scream abuse, and a lot of times the screaming of abuse is abuse in itself," Raniere said, facing the camera as he sat at a kitchen table. "Some little children are perfectly happy with it."
Prosecutors did not say when the video was shot.
Raniere is facing charges including racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, human trafficking, sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of a child. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Prosecutors have accused Raniere of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Earlier this week, they showed jurors graphic photos of the teen that were found on a computer believed to be his.
Raniere's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, contested the time-stamping of the photos, saying it could be unreliable and easy to alter.
But prosecutors pointed to testimony that the girl had a noticeable scar on her lower right abdomen from an appendectomy she had when she was 16. FBI case agent Michael Weniger, who investigated the case for nearly two years, testified the girl did not have that scar in the graphic photos presented in court.
After prosecutors rested their case against Raniere on Friday, Agnifilo told US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis that he was not going to present a case in court. Raniere chose not to testify.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are expected to make their closing statements Monday morning. The jury, made up of eight men and four women, with four alternates, is expected to begin deliberations by Tuesday.
Lesson plans on rape and abuse
Witnesses discussed throughout the trial how Raniere's thoughts would be "downloaded" or transcribed and turned into lesson plans for Nxivm's "self-help" courses, which claimed to help people achieve success.
Before the start of the trial, Agnifilo told CNN his client "firmly believes that his ideas are sound ideas, are good ideas, are humanitarian ideas."
Weniger said in court that investigators found Nxivm course lesson plans that Raniere forwarded between two of his own email accounts. Some of the lesson plans were for a course aimed at women with a section on rape.
"Do you know there's a certain percentage of women who have an orgasm when they get raped? Even if they don't want it," the lesson plan reads.
Another section is entitled "rape as a metaphor for orgasm," and claims: "There is the tension ultimately of being overcome, the release, and it is a sexual experience."
Former Nxivm members have testified about their interactions with Raniere, ranging from being held in isolation for years to being tied down and having sexual acts performed on them.
Several women said they were recruited to be part of what they were told was a "women's empowerment group" within Nxivm. They were told to give damaging personal information about themselves, nude photos or other types of "collateral," before they could hear more about the group, known as DOS.
Several testified that they had no idea that, once a member of the group, they would become "slaves" to "masters" in a chain that ended with Raniere as the head of the group, or "grandmaster."
One woman, identified only as "Nicole" in court, testified that she was told to write a letter to a local news outlet falsely accusing her father of sexual assault.
"There were so many things that were added on later once you were, like, sealed into this situation," she testified.
She said she was later tasked with meeting up with Raniere, who blindfolded her and tied her wrists and ankles to corners of a table, and then had another DOS "slave" perform oral sex on her.
Raniere was originally charged with five other co-defendants, all high-ranking women formerly from Nxivm who have pleaded guilty in the case. Former "Smallville" actress Allison Mack pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges.
Lauren Salzman also pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges. Seagram's liquor heiress Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conceal and harbor illegal aliens for financial gain and fraudulent use of identification. Nxivm bookkeeper Kathy Russell pleaded guilty to one count of visa fraud, and Nxivm CEO Nancy Salzman pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy.
CNN's Nicole Chavez contributed to this report.


When people come to my office, many times they think they are going to a dentist, but have no real idea of what they are doing there. They are what I call "Institutionalized". Their belief system is that if they go to the dentist and have their teeth cleaned once every six months they are doing something good for themselves with the idea that they will keep their teeth forever. This couldn't be further from the truth.

The two representatives of EURAPS on the editorial board of JPRAS are proposed by the Executive Council and voted upon by the General Assembly. Their term is for three years and they are not eligible for re-election.
The EURAPS Research Council (EURAPS RC) comprises the research section of EURAPS and holds an annual meeting directly prior to the annual EURAPS meeting. Its goal is to promote the experimental research activities in European Plastic Surgery and to assure a scientific platform for young investigators in this field.
B. The EURAPS Research Council consists of a Chair, a Secretary, two members and the EURAPS Treasurer ex-officio. Each national society represented in the EURAPS Council can nominate a national delegate who is personally involved in actual basic research projects to the EURAPS Research Council. Nomination is for a term of two years and the representative cannot serve more than one term.
The administrative meeting of the delegates is on occasion of the annual scientific meeting of the EURAPS Research Council. It is organised and conducted by the Chair of the EURAPS Research Council.
The Chair of the EURAPS Research Council is the national delegate who organizes the EURAPS Research Council meeting and is elected for a term of one year and cannot be re-elected. The Chair of the EURAPS Research Council is the administrative coordinator of the Research Council, a member of the EURAPS Executive Council in a non-voting capacity and works in close relationship with the EURAPS Research Council Secretary.
EURAPS ensures infra structural support. The Chair of the EURAPS Research Council maintains continuous contact with the Secretary General and the Treasurer of EURAPS.
The annual meeting of the Research Council is organized, after a vote at the General Assembly of the EURAPS Research Council, preferably by a national delegate of the country where the EURAPS annual meeting takes place.
The EURAPS Research Council is its own entity. The EURAPS treasurer however collects the annual dues and registration fees of the EURAPS Research Council meeting in collaboration with the EURAPS Research Council Secretary. Depending on the balance of EURAPS itself the costs of the EURAPS Research Council meeting may be covered partly by EURAPS to keep it in the frame of a low budget meeting with low registration fees. By that young researchers and basic scientists should get easy access to the EURAPS Research Council meeting without financial hindrance.
The presenters of the best 3 papers at each EURAPS Research Council meeting are invited by the EURAPS President and Secretary General to attend the EURAPS meeting as guests in the following year.
Scientific Program Committee: The Scientific Program Committee consists of five members. The Secretary General as the Chair, the President, the local host and two reviewers. The Secretary General invites, in consultation with the President, two of the annual 18 reviewers to the Committee. The Scientific Program Committee will be responsible for the preparation of the Scientific Program of the Annual Meeting. Every year, for each of the scientific topics (Aesthetic, Clinical (General), Clinical (Cleft/Cranio), Clinical (Hand/Nerve), Clinical (Microsurgery), Research), three reviewers are proposed by the Secretary General to the Executive Council and presented to the General Assembly the year before the Annual Meeting. The scientific abstracts are submitted to the Secretary General, who forwards these to the reviewers.

David Lynch's filmmaker daughter has defended her father against outrageous claims he raped her and then threatened to kill her if she spoke out.
The serious accusations come from Michael J. Anderson, who played the backward-speaking Man from Another Place in Lynch's Twin Peaks TV series.
He took aim at the director in a bizarre rant on Facebook last week (ends05Aug16), also suggesting Lynch may have orchestrated the death of Eraserhead star and his Twin Peaks castmate Jack Nance.
Anderson, a former NASA computer expert, has made it clear in the past he's unhappy with Lynch's decision not to include him in the Twin Peaks reboot, which is currently in production.
He also worked with Lynch on the experimental performance piece Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Brokenhearted, and appeared in his 2001 movie Mulholland Drive.

Shane Black's The Predator Trailer Is Unchecked Mayhem
Alternate title: Sterling K. Brown, Monster Hunter.
By Tom Philip
Kimberley French/20th Century Fox
In 2013, Shane Black wrote and directed Iron Man 3, an unhinged, uninhibited sequel to a multi-billion dollar franchise (and multi-million dollar sub-franchise). It remains the riskiest Marvel movie, even more so than the joyful Guardians of the Galaxy. Its trailers promised a showdown between Iron Man and his long-time comics nemesis The Mandarin. Instead we got a 2-hour action-comedy focused primarily on the ramifications of violence in which Tony Stark only dons the Iron Man suit very occasionally, and the Mandarin appears only as a blundering, drunken stooge. It ruled.
Let's hope Black is planning on another switcheroo on The Predator, which by all accounts looks like a pretty lackluster action movie. The Predator design has never been particularly chilling, but props, at the very least, to Black for keeping the "guy in a rubber suit" tradition alive instead of resorting to slicker CGI. The tone of this trailer, and the jokes therein, seems so middle-of-the-road that it's hard not to assume Black's planning on pulling the rug from beneath us when he actually gets our asses in the theater seats.
In the "pro" column so far, the cast is extraordinary. Sterling K. Brown once again gets a chance to flex his leading man credentials; it's always nice to see Keegan-Michael Key (even if he's responsible for the worst line of the trailer); and Room's Jacob Tremblay takes up the mantle of the requisite precocious child archetype Black loves so, so much.
The Predator will be released on September 4. No word yet on whether or not it takes place at Christmas.

I think you're smart and brave to make this decision, Chicky. Your reasons are absolutely valid. I am feeling fatigued on Day 4 - simply because suddenly there are too many offline things to do that are bigger priorities.
Of course I will continue to read your posts. You take care of yourself - life comes first. Hugs!
No Kala, nothing serious at the moment, but it can get worse if I neglect it. I don't know much about the rules. Don't care right now if they strike me off the list.
Thank you, Lori! Do you also practice the Usui Reiki?
Thank you so much, Vidya, for the kind words! I have absolutely no idea how you are managing 4 blogs!
Blogging is Passion. And so one should stick to what he / she loves.
Your posts would still be awaited.
Life with priorities and health should definitely be your top priority. As far the blogging challenge you can always take it in your own stride.
It's my first time with the challenge and I can safely say all your points are valid.
Chicky my dear , firstly Hugs. Absolutely sensible, what you have decided, I am feeling drained by day 5 :) myself with no ailment or anything. And yes I will read all your posts in any case as they will be of good value for sure. Love.
Reading and commenting does take its toll and I was going to comment in your 'calmness' post that it is playing havoc with my exercise schedule, which was all but nonexistent before. I got an earful (justifiably) from my hubby for sitting and only sitting the whole day. And this is after I have pre-written most of my posts (as suggested by the organizers). But there is no getting away from it, networking with other bloggers is a time consuming task. All the best with your revised schedule while I try to work in some activity in my schedule!
Chicky, take care of yourself first. The posts can wait. We will be always there to read your posts. I agree what you said about the A to Z. Last year I had stopped after the letter G as I could feel it was being forced. Like you, I had too many things to do last year. Write whatever is comfortable for you. Thats my policy too.
I think many participating bloggers have already done their posts and have scheduled them to come daily.
I hope your health issues are sorted out but basically it is a good idea to blog bi-weekly - it does give you more time to do other things.
Most importantly take care of yourself first and foremost... I will pop and catch up when *you're* ready!
A-Z can definitely take a toil on us. I just have to go to work and no household works or anything. And yet I can't find ample time to ponder and write and keep up with the challenge. It's a wise decision to stick to something which works for us, rather than stressing over the whole lot. And take care of yourself. Posts can wait, but health won't.
Of course I will read your posts and do what works best for you. I wrote a couple posts in advance and that's helping but trust me, daily blogging is not easy. You take care of your health first. Rest comes later. Hugs!
Hope you are doing fine now. Like Vidya said, it seems everything on earth has decided to come up in my life right now. It like constant reminder set in my mind that by the end of the I have to write, read and comment! Phew! I'm also already tired and wondering until will I be able to continue.
You're right, Aditya. Thank you!
Thank you, Sunila! I'll be catching up with your posts on an alternate basis, I guess.
Exactly, Dhalia! It calls for constant sitting on your computer/laptop! You even forget to get up to drink water at times!
Last year, I'd decided that I would also pre-write all the posts, but I couldn't decide on a theme in time. So everything is last minute again!
All the best to you for the challenge. See you around!
Lata, I would have left it too, if I had continued the daily schedule this year. This way, at least the posts will get written, even if they're late! Thanks!
True, Bellybytes! Most of the veterans have written all their posts beforehand. I guess that's the best way to do this challenge.
That's a positive way to look at it, Tracy! Yes, it will extend the fun beyond April! :D Thank you!
Oh! Nibhz, don't burn yourself out, girl! Change your schedule too if you need to! See you around!
Even with a speedy connection, I find it irritating to do it on the phone.
I think the daily blogging challenge is more to grow as a person and a blogger at two levels -- get into the habit of effortless writing and creating great connections.
as long as you are able to enjoy the process and manage both , I guess you can create your own rules as you go along.
wish you get better ..and hope you continue with your version of the challenge and have fun while you do so!
Completing the challenge is important but not at the cost of your health. You obviously have a lot on your plate. Take care and look after yourself. You have a bunch of loyal readers so have no worries on that front!
Take care of your health as that is more important than any blogging challenge. TC.
That's true, theaddress! Thank you!
Oh yes, Debbie. Having them all pre-written is the only way to do this challenge without completely cutting off other areas of your life! Let's see about next year, Debbie. I'm not much in favour of daily blogging challenges at the moment.

COP26: Why Are Women Still Missing At The Top Climate Table
Bonnie Chiu
I write about gender and diversity in the emerging world.
When the global face to climate action is Greta Thunberg, it can appear that women and girls are well represented at the top table. As the U.K. opens the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the lack of women's senior leadership in climate negotiations has been raised as an issue of concern by activists.

[+] President Alexander Van der Bellen and Austrian-US actor, filmmaker, politician and activist Arnold Schwarzenegger pose for photographers prior the opening ceremony of the R20 Regions of Climate Action Austrian World Summit in Vienna, Austria, on May 28, 2019.

SHE Changes Climate, a campaign founded in 2020 to call for equal gender representation in climate negotiations, claims that men took up 10 of the 12 UK leadership team positions. "Lack of female leadership in climate decisions affects our economy, our social structure, our ability to innovate and create solutions," said Antoinette Vermilye, Co-Founder of the campaign. They sent an open letter to the U.K. Government in 2020, calling on them for greater accountability and transparency on male/female parity on the U.K. COP26 leadership team. Their letter has been supported by over 450 male and female environmental leaders, including Mary Robinson, the former Irish President and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Ellie Goulding, the pop star and COP26 Ambassador. However, according to the group, the COP26 team did not deliver on the group's demands, even though the letter was sent almost a year ago.
Examining the wider composition of the U.K. COP26 team, there is higher representation of women (45%), but their roles tend to relate to event organizing, or they serve as Advisors rather than the core team members. This gendered division of labor at the COP26 leadership team is characteristic of wider systemic issues in climate negotiations.
Climate negotiations at COP are driven predominantly by governments of states which need to abide by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Given low representation of women in political positions— globally, only 21% of government ministers were women— it is not surprising that climate delegations are gender imbalanced.

COP is not just about political bargaining between states, it also has a strong focus on the latest climate science. The main goal of COP26 is to "secure global net zero and keep 1.5 degrees within reach". This goal has been influenced mainly by a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an authoritative and influential source of reports on climate change. Research has found that women are also under-represented in IPCC authorship: the proportion of female IPCC authors has seen a modest increase from less than 5% in 1990 to more than 20% in 2018.
The issue of women's under-representation in climate negotiations is further exacerbated by the gender bias in media. COP is one of the most important events on climate. In a speech to The Energy Law Institute's Annual Clifford Chance Lecture in October 2021, Emma Howard Boyd CBE, Chair of the Environment Agency said, "Women have to shout louder than men to be heard. Women have held just 28% of the share of voice in news articles about climate change." The 28% statistic came from an Oxfam report, which also found that gender inequalities existed not only in terms of the percentage of news written by women, but the number of times women experts and politicians were quoted.
Despite these systemic challenges, there are positive steps being taken towards gender equality at COP26. During the two-week summit, there will be a day devoted to gender issues; and the Women in Finance Climate Action Group has also been set up. It remains to be seen whether these efforts can make up for the lack of women's leadership, to drive for gender equitable progress in climate change.


The Vampire Diaries Season 1-8: Vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, battle for the affection of selfless teenager, Elena Gilbert. Stefan is the good and kind hearted brother that feeds on animal blood to keep from killing anybody, and Damon is the selfish and dangerous older brother that feeds on human blood carelessly. Elena is brought into the supernatrual world that she was hidden from as a girl, and surrounds herself with a circle of human AND supernatrual friends, ready to fight the hunters and enemies that wait for them in the shadows.


Every brand wants to spot (and become) the new normal that everyone else aspires to be or is craving. It's great for business. It's great for reputation. It's great to be that attentive.
Never forget: today's industry norms were at one time a new idea, and most likely considered a disruptive idea. So realize new ideas will inevitably ruffle some feathers. Ruffled feathers are part of the process.
What stands in the way of getting there?
This is the focus of this 8th episode of One Minute Wednesdays, my weekly video where I upload kickass tips each week for subscribers of this blog, and my YouTube channel.
I cover this concept fully in Brand Intervention, the book. But the most important part of this is not "doing what we've always done" which is simply a lazy approach to growing your brand.
Brands must stay observant, must stay interested, must stay passionate to detect where people are looking, sometimes before they even realize they're looking for it.
Like when customers routinely ask for a particular feature, that's their way of letting you know their expectations. It may show up in the form of a complaint or a frustration. Or maybe in a suggestion box.
No matter how, you have to be attentive to spot the new normal before others do.
If you loved this, share it with others. If you haven't subscribed, do it now.
Becuase next week's going to be even better.


Petros Greek Restaurant merges traditional Greek cuisine with an emerging nouveau cuisine regional to Southern California. Located in the mixed use retail project, Metlox (designed by our office), the restaurant consists of an indoor dining room, bar, commercial kitchen, and a covered outdoor dining patio. The restaurant's proximity to the beach, with its intense sunlight, climate and topography, as well as the relaxed lifestyle of this Southern California beach community, provides an atmosphere somewhat analogous to the Mediterranean coast.
The design of the restaurant embraces the spare and rustic qualities of Greek aesthetics, translating these cultural characteristics through the materials of steel stud and drywall common to American construction practices. Ash wood accents and a synthetic version of Thassos marble are additional translations of Greek texture in a contemporary context. The traditional niche spaces found in Greek interiors are abstracted to adorn the restaurant at different scales and depths—in one instance framing Greek artifacts, at another, diners at their tables. The motif functions as both decorative pattern and spatial organizer, highlighting the voyeuristic and very public aspects of restaurant dining.

On March 13, 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it is seeking comments on an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that would require drug and alcohol testing of maintenance personnel who work on aircraft operated by U.S. air carriers (Part 121) in facilities outside the United States.
In the Federal Register notice, the FAA noted that it is considering developing a rulemaking that would require employees of FAA-certified foreign repair stations and certain other maintenance providers who perform safety-sensitive work on U.S. air carrier aircraft to be subject to a drug and alcohol testing program. Consistent with the Congressional mandate for the rulemaking, the testing program would have to meet FAA standards and be consistent with the applicable laws of the country where the repair station is located. Currently, the FAA's drug and alcohol testing regulations do not extend to companies or individuals who perform safety-sensitive functions, including aircraft and preventive maintenance, outside the United States.
•	Does a particular country allow or require random drug and/or alcohol testing? If so, what is the process?
•	If a country does not allow or require random drug and/or alcohol testing, are there laws that prohibit random testing? What other methods might successfully deter employees from misusing drugs or alcohol while performing safety-sensitive duties, or within a certain period of time before performing such duties? How would such misuse be detected?
What are the standards that employees who have violated drug and alcohol regulations should meet before they are allowed to return to performing safety-sensitive maintenance work?
The FAA's action responds to a mandate in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.


Giants guard Justin Pugh said the team is not going to let outside forces "tear us apart."
He was referring to the media, social media, the Odell Beckham Jr. drama and the 0-3 start until a reporter asked him if President Donald Trump's comments played a role in that as well.
"That's a big part of it, too," he said.
Protests during the national anthem have been rejuvenated in the NFL after Trump called players who participated in such demonstrations a "son of a b---h."
Landon Collins, Olivier Vernon and Damon "Snacks" Harrison were among three Giants who chose to kneel during the national anthem while the rest of the team stood and locked arms.
Collins said he will have a discussion with his teammates on whether or not they will continue to kneel, but he can count Pugh in as a supporter — one who was not on board a year ago.
"What happened with (Colin) Kaepernick originally is he was sitting and I did take offense to that," Pugh said. "I posted about it and talked about it but now realizing he's not trying to disrespect the military, he's not trying to disrespect the flag or the United States, he's trying to raise questions to start a conversation, and that's definitely something I can get on board with."
Do not expect Pugh to kneel, though. His older stepbrother, Michael Gavaghan, serves in the Air Force and is a major reason why he feels so strongly about the playing of the "Star-Spangled Banner."
"I am going to stand for the flag and it's something I'm very passionate about with my brother being in the military," he said. "But at the same time I recognize the reason why the guys are doing it."
It is a concept some have struggled to grasp, but Pugh spoke candidly on how his perspective evolved.
"I guess being a white male I didn't understand what was going through (Kaepernick's) mind and what he was experiencing. I tweeted about it and everyone was coming at me, saying 'you're racist, you're this, you're that,' and I think it was more me not knowing what was going on," Pugh said.
"I don't know what guys go through. I think being in this locker room and hearing stories from these guys, it's a tough time in this world. America is not perfect and we all know that," he added. "It's a conversation that needs to be had. I don't know the right way to do it. I don't know the wrong way to do it. All I know is guys have the right to say what they want to say and that's what makes America great. I'm going to stand there for my guys in the locker room and be there for them as teammates."
The rebirth of the protests against police brutality, social injustice and inequalities against minorities by athletes during the national anthem has sparked strong reactions from the fans — led by the President.
Trump has incessantly tweeted about the lack of respect the players are showing for the flag since his insulting comments last Friday and has pushed for the league to enforce its players to stand or they will lose viewership.
Many fans have followed suit, saying they will boycott the NFL.
Regardless if they do or not, the conversation is not going away, and Pugh closed by adding the key to continuing the conversation is to just listen.
"If you don't listen and hear where other people are coming from and just listen with the intent of responding instead of understanding, it's going to cause problems," he said. "I think a lot of times that's what we end up doing: Listen with the intent of responding. Listening with, 'I'm going to impose my opinion on you before I get a chance to hear what you have to say.' So it's something that's going to continue to be a conversation throughout the NFL. It's something that I think is going to happen throughout the season."

Press play for Pause
Some folks are just born to make music. They can't start early enough, create remarkable stuff from day one, keep evolving and building a community of fans, they are just all music. Kieran Hebden is one of them, without any doubt. First recording deal at age 15, first remix on a Warp anniversary album, and from there it was just always upward and forward.
When "Pause" was released in 2001 it was already his sixth album. Four had been released with his first band Fridge, as well as his first album as Four Tet – "Dialogue". But it really was this album that started his career – "Dialogue" was an attempt to create a unique style based on Hip Hop beats and Jazz samples, still a little too demure and heady.
Things definitely changed on "Pause" towards a much more playful and approachable – with the magic trick being that he kept an aura if introversion, someone that could work on sounds and song ideas forever in his studio without ever running the risk of getting lonely. Plus, the mix of elements that he came up with for this album seems a lot less constructed, much more harmonious and coherent. His approach matured from quoting to blending, from using things to embracing them. Long before anyone began quietly talking about a Folk revival he was already working with acoustic guitars, folk-ish harmonies and a sound universe that seemed a lot more natural than most of what was published in what back in those days was called downtempo. He just took one step and was immune from being shoved in this category.
Compared to what Hebden was going to release on the next two album, "Pause" is almost straightforward, more linear – but he already had a considerably different attitude towards the things, topics, images he was conjuring up with his music. Instead of talking about something he would rather let us feel what he wants to put across. Like on "Glue Of The World" for example is as dewy and unwound as a Sunday morning in the meadows. When everyone still wanted to be cool and slick he was already evocative and real.
On the way to "Pause" he seems to also have found his love for little bells and chimes and other things that jingle, jiggle and ring, and a tendency to let them do their thing with a playful disregard of what the beat is doing. You can feel it, he doesn't just put them in sequence and then loosen things up with a funky little feature of a sequencer. It's manual and deliberate, the rhythm more a suggestion than a rule. As if he would let the sounds be where they want to be. "Twenty Three" is a great example – it's not about the beat, it's about perception and imagination.
Every now and then, short pieces that work like nicely connecting interludes explore the opportunities of interplay between music, life and play, incorporating all kinds of sounds from offices to children playing, or telling a tiny little story as on "Leila Came Round And We Watched A Video" – a touching piece that tells us they were definitely not watching an action movie or a thriller. Simply lovely.
"Untangle" makes sure that we don't fall asleep in front of the TV – a slowly grooving piece of… what? House? Minimal? Untangled, uncluttered and almost straight if it weren't for the harp-like theme that again has its own idea of what's straight. Might have just been the moment when Mr. Hebden discovered his love for danceable stuff – a passion that would grow considerably over the years.
"Everything Is Alright" is almost a signature track here, with a rhythmic structure that is unique not due to its intricateness but rather due to the use of elements – no one is able to let big, almost kettle sized drums sound so playful and light. Yes, in spite of the big drums, everything is alright, and the guitar theme is a testament to that.
The one track that somehow doesn't work (at least for me) is "No More Mosquitoes". I don't know. The dragging, heavy beat, the distorted samples, bleeps and noises – it's not coming across as organic as the rest of the album, it actually has the power to annoy the listener more than just a mosquito. Sorry.
Apart from the bells and chimes, the other main element that seemed to fascinate Mr. Hebden was a wide variety of guitars, harps, zithers and sitars. Whether it's in the little episodes or the longer tracks, they do most of the melodic work, nicely crafted repetitive themes that elevate tracks like "You Could Ruin My Day" – the longest piece on the album. Again, the basic rhythmic structure is mostly straightforward, everything else takes as many liberties as is needed to keep our curiosity on a high level.
Most of what we hear on this album is on a level that is much closer to Boards Of Canada than to most of what crowded the downbeat years. Playing with genres and their elements, staying wonderfully organic in a production style that is usually dubbed electronic, being decidedly urban with a big yearning for nature and freedom. The beginning of a long and hugely creative career.

What IS event marketing? Definition differentiation and impacts explained.
When someone mentions event marketing it is likely that one of two ideas comes to mind. But what is event marketing? And which of these terms is right?
I know I have fallen foul of confusing what it is most directly defined by the term myself. It is a common mistake, and arguably, not even a mistake at all. The different definitions to the term are used interchangeably, and even dictionaries provide two definitions to the term, "event marketing".
I'm going to try and unpack both of the definitions in this post, with my main focus on the 'correct' use of the term. I'll also give you a quick low-down on what each of them can bring to your business.
Event marketing is the use of in-person interactions to promote a brand, service, or product. In essence, it is the use of events for marketing purposes.
However, these event's don't always have to be hosted by the promoters. Nor do they necessarily have to be in-person. The scope of 'event marketing' is vast, especially in today's digital world.
Returning to the dual images conjured by the phrase, "event marketing", what is the difference in event marketing and "event marketing"?
Event marketing, as mentioned above, is the use of events for marketing purposes. However, the phrase may also conjure thoughts of marketing for events.
These two ideas are not the same. However, the irony here is that event marketing can be used in marketing for events.
Marketing for events is simply the process of promoting an event you are holding. This can be done through digital channels such as email or SMS, traditional methods such as print adverts and flyering, or through event marketing.
But for now, let's return to discussing event marketing: the use of events to promote something.
You have probably been involved in event marketing in some way. For example, I have often come across pop-up stands in city centres handing out free samples of a new product. Another example would be a launch event hosted by a company to exhibit their new brand or product to an audience.
Both of these examples are in-person methods of building awareness and relationships with whatever is being promoted. It is also a great way to spark word-of-mouth and a lasting interpersonal promotion of your brand. Not to mention, depending on the event, people can post and share their thoughts and the event itself on social media, furthering your audience and promotional reach.
In the digital age, methods of event marketing have rapidly expanded. From live videos on social media, to educational – but promotional – webinars, an array of marketing tools has emerged.
Live-streamed events and other forms of digital media have since proven to be just as impactful as in-person events. They also often provide repurposable content, with sections of Q and A sessions from streams, or tips from webinars easily cut from the source and posted elsewhere.
Much like the effect of word-of-mouth spread of information of in-person events, digital events can be shared far beyond your initial audience with a simple click. Impressed viewers will share your post, and with before long, your event can build momentum and spread like wildfire.
Although it may play a significant proportion of event marketing, hosting events needn't be the only method. In fact, attending events can also count. One of the most common examples would be attending exhibitions and expos and promoting your brand in person while other companies do the same. You don't always have to be hosting the event!
Regardless of the 'correct' use, both uses of the term "event marketing" is right. In a lot of cases, you will find both definitions being used interchangeably. Furthermore, whether hosting events for marketing, or marketing for events, the process shares a lot of common ground. In either situation, you will be planning and hosting an event!

WATCH: Vinícius Junior recreates Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIU' celebration after scoring maiden hat-trick
Real Madrid defeated Levante 6-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid ran through Levante at the Santiago Bernabeu as they registered a 6-0 win. The Los Blancos started the fireworks with goals from Ferlon Mendy, Karim Benzema and Rodrygo in the first 35 minutes. Then, the stage was set for the Vinícius Júnior show, who smashed an incredible hattrick.
But the best moment from the hattrick was his celebration after the final goal. Vinícius pulled off the classic Cristiano Ronaldo 'SIU' celebration as a tribute to the former Madrid legend. The Brazilian winger has been on the top of his game throughout the season as Real Madrid has reached the final of the Champions League and won the La Liga.
Watch the celebration here:
"I'm just very, very happy," Vinicius
After the game, the Brazilian talked about how he fulfilled the promise of scoring a hattrick to his coach. He said, "The coach asked me if I wanted to stay on, and I did for the chance to get a hat-trick. It's my first hat-trick and the teammates have helped me so much and I'm just very, very happy."
He also talked about Karim Benzema's goal that levels the goal total of another Real Madrid legend Raul. He said, "I didn't know he had equalled Raul's [goals total], he scores so many goals for us and does so many other things for the team. We have to think about the final and we have to be prepared for it". "The last match of the season will be the best one", he added.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also praised his two forwards for their performance as he said, "Vinicius and Benzema were fantastic tonight and have been throughout the season. It's reward for good teamwork. They have a great understanding, time has really helped them to click."
