Monkey back with its owner after roaming around Braceville Twp.
by: Nadine Grimley, Chelsea Spears
BRACEVILLE TWP., Ohio (WKBN) – A monkey on the loose caused quite a stir in Braceville Township on Monday and is now back with its owner, but not without leaving behind quite a story to tell.
Five-year-old Teeko the monkey got out of his house late Sunday night. The next morning, he was seen around 6:40 a.m. at the Marathon gas station on Braceville Robinson Road.
"I thought they were joking around with me," said Marathon employee Jessica Richardson.
Richardson didn't believe it when a truck driver told her a monkey was running around their parking lot when she showed up to work Monday morning.
But it was true, and her coworkers called 911.
911 CALL: 'We have a vicious monkey in our parking lot and no, this is not a joke'
Richardson said she tried to entice Teeko with a banana.
"As the owner came up, the monkey seen him and the monkey took off this direction, behind the red and blue truck, and the owner chased him all the way back around the parking lot," she said.
The chase was caught on surveillance cameras. In it, you can see Teeko running past the fuel pumps and his owner following shortly after.
"I was shocked, like, I thought the monkey might come up to somebody or get taken or we have huge semis driving through here all the time. I was like, 'What if a semi accidentally hit it?'" Richardson said.
Teeko's owner, Anthony Thomas, who lives nearby, said he and his friends had been out looking for Teeko ever since he got loose on Sunday.
"Normally, the front door isn't open but it was open and he pushed the screen door and came right outside, which just terrified me," Thomas said. "They can get out, they get lost, somebody finds them, they get stolen, they could be killed. There's all kinds of things that can happen."
After hours of looking, using apps and special equipment, Thomas' team finally found Teeko.
"I'm sure he was very nervous and uneasy. He's never been out. He's stayed in the cage past dark but he's never been out all night long," Thomas said.
Teeko is now back home, safe and sound. But what happened in the parking lot is still the talk of the town.
"Everybody that's came in is like, 'Did you guys see the monkey?'" Richardson said.

Memorial Day wasn't honored
The annual Memorial Day parade hosted by Pearl River's American Legion Post. The parade last about 20 minutes. The crowd, let's say there was a lot of parking. There were no crowds, the bars were empty. There was few law enforcement present.
What burns me up is that on St. Patrick's Day there are thousands. Law enforcement from every department. People securing spots the night before. Some of these people aren't even Irish. Newspapers state it's the second largest parade in the country. I see people walking intoxicated, fights in the streets. This day isn't an American tradition.
The United States people should wake up and see what is important. I am not saying you can't go out and be proud of our heritage. Remember our freedoms come from the men and women who serve. Take 15 minutes wherever you are to honor those in some cases gave their all. God bless America. United we stand.

Q: Native C++ HTTPS REST call with certificate validation What library is the best to use for the purpose? Target platform is Linux.

A: Difficult to tell the best, but i used Qt (QNetworkAccessManager) and a Qt JSON Parser with success.

A: I picked up libcurl thus it is enforced with SSL certificate validation. Regarding to REST, I am able to send GET and POST requests also. However it is C but not C++ library. But it does not make a big difference for me because the syntax is pretty clear and there are lot of examples.

VIDEO: From longhouse to courthouse: Duwamish Tribe files lawsuit in new round of longrunning fight for federal recognition
| Duwamish Tribe | West Seattle news
(WSB photos. Drumming/singing at today's event. At left, an image of Kikisoblu, Chief Sealth's daughter)
With this city named after its legendary leader, and home to a river bearing its name, the Duwamish Tribe says its lack of federal recognition makes no sense.
So the tribe is going to court, with a lawsuit launching a new chapter in the fight for recognition, which it says the federal government owes them as lead signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. The lawsuit – which you can read here – was announced during an hour-and-a-half midday event at the tribe's Longhouse in West Seattle.
The event, attended by members and supporters via livestream as well as in person, featured Duwamish Tribe leaders as well as its lawyers, most of whom are with K&L Gates. The speeches, taken together, provided a history lesson as well as a briefing on the lawsuit itself (which also is laden with history). Here's how it unfolded:

Three reports in West Seattle Crime Watch:
ROAD-RAGE GUNFIRE: SPD provided this brief summary tonight of an incident just before 9:30 this morning:
The victim and suspect were driving on the 1st Ave. S. Bridge when a road-rage incident occurred. The suspect followed the victim and drove in front of him. The suspect got out of his vehicle and made threats to kill the victim. The victim drove away, and while driving in the area of W Marginal Way SW/Highland Park Way SW, the suspect shot at the victim. The round struck the victim's passenger-side door. The suspect fled SB on Highway 509.
As is usual for brief initial summaries, no descriptions were included.
STOLEN CAR: Reported by Carolyn:

FOLLOWUP: Why West Marginal Way signal at Duwamish Longhouse isn't activated yet
| Duwamish Tribe | Safety | Transportation | West Seattle news
for this weekend's Native Art Market and Holiday Gift Fair at the Duwamish Longhouse, crossing guards are still stopping traffic on West Marginal Way, because the newly installed signal isn't ready yet. Earlier this month, SDOT told the West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force that they expected to turn on the signal in "late November," if weather permitted the crosswalk to be painted. Turns out the weather got in the way of a different aspect of the project. We followed up on the signal statuw before the holiday and got this explanation:
Seattle Department of Transportation crews completed all of the initial work to install traffic signal poles and equipment in early November. The next step is for Seattle City Light to hook up power to the traffic signal so that we can turn it on. Due to the series of severe storms leading to widespread power outages, Seattle City Light has had to reschedule this step for the first weekend in December. Once the power is connected, SDOT crews are ready to take the final steps to unveil the signal lights and paint the crosswalks, which will require dry weather. We intentionally wait to do this until the signal is ready to be turned on in order to avoid confusing travelers.
This signal is technically temporary, with a permanent one to follow.
CONTINUING THIS WEEKEND: Duwamish Longhouse Native Art Market and Holiday Gift Fair
| Comments Off on CONTINUING THIS WEEKEND: Duwamish Longhouse Native Art Market and Holiday Gift Fair
| Duwamish Tribe | Holidays | West Seattle news | WS culture/arts
At the Duwamish Longhouse Native Art Market and Holiday Gift Fair, you can find ornaments to decorate your tree, and/or gifts to put under it.
The work above is by Seciwa's Southwest Native Jewelry and Crafts, one of this year's vendors, spotlighting "the people and crafts from the Pueblo of Zuni," described in a flyer as "the largest of the 20 'Pueblo' tribes in New Mexico and Arizona." The gift fair is a place to learn as well as to browse and buy.
It was also a popular shopping stop while we were there in late morning, with a line to get in since capacity was capped. But you have plenty of time – until 5 pm today, and again 10 am-5 pm tomorrow and Sunday.
Parking is across the street in the Seattle Public Utilities lot – and there are crossing guards to stop West Marginal Way traffic so you can safely get across. (The temporary signal and crosswalk are not ready yet – more on that in a separate story later.) P.S. You can also visit the exhibits in the Longhouse Cultural Center while you're there, and the gift shop is open,
FOLLOWUP: The Heron's Nest gets a big boost toward goal of buying and repatriating West Seattle site
(WSB photo from September – Amanda Lee at The Heron's Nest)
Two months ago, we reported on The Heron's Nest, a site in the West Duwamish Greenbelt where volunteers have been working on a plan to purchase a site for environmental education and repatriate it to the Duwamish Tribe, whose Longhouse is nearby. At last night's Admiral Neighborhood Association meeting, Amanda Lee from The Heron's Nest gave an update and announced the project had received a city grant of nearly a million dollars. We followed up with Lee this morning and received the announcement they're making:
The Shared Spaces Foundation is excited to announce a major milestone in its efforts to fundraise for the Heron's Nest, a project aimed at preserving 3.56 acres of land in the West Duwamish Greenbelt for community use, stewardship, sustainable education, and repatriating it to the Duwamish people. On October 5th, the City of Seattle issued a $900,000 grant from its Strategic Investment Fund to the Shared Spaces Foundation. These funds will allow Shared Spaces to purchase the land currently used for the Heron's Nest, serving as the first step in the repatriation process.
The Duwamish people have resided in present-day Seattle and King County since time immemorial. Where they once inhabited 50 villages in the Puget Sound area, they now own less than an acre of land and have been unfairly stripped of their federal recognition. Preserving this land will increase the footprint of land access by 5x for Duwamish Tribal Services.
The Shared Spaces Foundation currently leases the 3.56-acre parcel just a short walk from the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center in West Seattle. This undeveloped parcel was, until recently, destined to become the site for a new housing complex. Now, with the help of the SIF grant, the Shared Spaces Foundation will be able to preserve the land from destructive development and allow the Heron's Nest project to continue the steps they have already taken to restore its indigenous vegetation and ecology, improve its productive uses, and provide for public access and education. Over 5,000 hours of community volunteering has been put into the restoration and construction efforts since the Heron's Nest founding at the beginning of 2020.
In time, the Heron's Nest will include the development of sustainable, community-accessible facilities including campgrounds, an outdoor kitchen, outdoor classrooms, tool libraries, an urban farm and agroforest, a recycling center, and a natural aquaculture pool. Once restored and with the above amenities in place, the land will be given back to the Duwamish people and be used for community benefit.
However, the Shared Spaces Foundation must continue its fundraising efforts in order to bring the full project to fruition. The entirety of the SIF grant will be applied toward the purchase of the land. To fund the remaining services and facilities, Shared Spaces is driving a community-giving effort. Shared Spaces looks to raise another $500,000 for materials, staffing, and operational costs, and have set a target deadline for the end of 2021. A successful fundraising campaign this Winter will allow for many of the facilities to be operational by Spring 2022.
In addition to further grant funding, the fundraising efforts include an upcoming holiday market at the Heron's Nest, a recent dinner and auction held on October 16th, and utilizing the space for community events, nature viewing parties, and workshops. To learn more about the vision for the land and the scope of the project, visit: www.TheHeronsNest.org
Lee says the holiday market is scheduled for December 11th – more on that when it gets closer.

VIDEO: The Jingle Dress Project visits West Seattle 'to lift up the Duwamish'
(WSB photos/video)
An event announced less than a week ago filled the Duwamish Tribe Longhouse with more than 100 visitors this afternoon: The Jingle Dress Project. Longhouse director Jolene Haas explained the dancers were there for a ceremony, not a performance. They came to "lift up the Duwamish … they are sharing part of their heart."
After Haas and her mother, Duwamish Tribe chair Cecile Hansen (above), welcomed the visitors seated all around the Longhouse's main room, Jingle Dress Project founder Eugene Tapahe and the dancers – three women including his two daughters – spoke to the visitors for an hour.
Tapahe, a landscape photographer, told the story of how the idea came to him in a dream – after he lost his aunt to COVID. Native people celebrate death along with life, he explained, and it was agonizing that only six people could gather to commemorate the death. The Jingle Dress Dance was an Ojibwe creation for healing in the Spanish Flu pandemic a century ago – while he and the dancers are Diné (Navajo), he said the Ojibwe gave permission to other tribes to use the Jingle Dress to heal. "If we heal the land, then we'll heal the people," he realized. "We need Mother Earth; she doesn't need us." At first, they danced on lands that especially needed healing – national/state parks that he said were among the first Native lands lost to colonization.
The dancers – from left above, Sunni Begay and Erin and Dion Tapahe – are all college students or recent graduates, all from Utah. Their first dance today was an Honor Song – a prayer; Eugene asked that it not be followed by applause. The second and third were more celebratory, Before you watch and listen, a few words about the Jingle Dress – it is covered in more than 100 metal cones, not bells, that "jingle" when they click together, but make no sound if one is shaken alone.
The dancers' regalia also included red scarves in tribute to missing/murdered Indigenous women.
After a third dance, and words of gratitude from Eugene's wife Sharon Tapahe, they answered questions from those gathered. One question was "Who made the dresses?" Answer – family and friends. And they're "really heavy" – up to 15 pounds.
THeir Duwamish hosts (Jolene Haas is at right above) presented gifts of cedar sprigs – a sacred tree – before a fourth dance, one that everyone present was invited to join in, a "round dance" that circled the room.
Then it was time to go, with memories of the healing as well as of the message the Duwamish and their guests repeated throughout the afternoon, a reminder from all Indigenous people: "We are still here."
P.S. Before leaving Seattle, they plan to dance tomorrow (Sunday) at Pike Place, 3:30 pm.
Next step in Duwamish Tribe's fight for recognition: Clothing collaboration
Announced at the Duwamish Tribe Longhouse this afternoon before a crowd of 100+ who came for the Jingle Dress Project's visit (separate story on that later) – the tribe's ongoing fight for federal recognition will include a clothing collaboration. They're teaming up with Native-owned First Citizen Co., which showed off a few examples of the streetwear they'll be making for the tribe to sell:
First Citizen is based in Seattle, founded by Burdette Birdinground and Devin Gros Ventre of the Crow Tribe. Duwamish Longhouse director Jolene Haas told those in attendance to watch for the formal announcement of the collaboration soon. (They already have an online store where you can buy tribe-supporting merch.)
SATURDAY: Jingle Dress Project @ Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center
Now that the weekend is in view, it's time for a few previews. On Saturday afternoon, the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center in West Seattle hosts "Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project," which has been touring the West. This was born from a dream that came to Navajo photographer Eugene Tapahe, who explains, "Our goal is to take the healing power of the Ojibwe jingle dress to the land, to travel, to dance and capture a series of images to document the spiritual places our ancestors once walked, and to unite and give hope to the world through art, dance and culture to help us heal." He and the dancers are based in Utah. (You can read about the history of the jingle dress dance here.)

UPDATE: Duwamish Tribe hosts Gov. Inslee's bill signing for HEAL Act
| Duwamish Tribe | Environment | West Seattle news
11:32 AM: Gov. Inslee is in West Seattle right now during a daylong tour of the metro area, signing bills. He has just arrived at the Duwamish Tribe Longhouse, he is signing the HEAL Act (SB 5141), which he says will "set a course toward a more healthy and equitable future with greater environmental justice for all Washingtonians." The Longhouse is hosting a celebratory event for the occasion, both inside and outside.TVW plans to stream the signing above; we are at the Longhouse to cover the event, and we'll add more photos/details later.
(After arrival, governor elbow-bumps Paulina López of the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition)
11:52 AM: The ceremony has begun with a song of welcome. James Rasmussen of the Duwamish Tribe then speaks.
"My people have been here for over 10,000 years." The bill the governor will sign today, he says, is "about healing" – not just environmental, but "all kinds." He also reminds those gathered – and those watching.- that the Duwamish are still seeking federal recognition.
11:59 AM: Now the governor takes the podium. He says this bill addressing systemic racism's role in environmental injustice has been decades in the making. He hails the work of organizations such as the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, whose executive director Paulina López is among the dozens of people in attendance. While the bill may "sound like process," the governor insists that it's "about results."
(L-R with the governor: Sen. Rebecca Saldaña, Rep. Debra Lekanoff, Rep. Kirsten Harris-Talley)
Also speaking, the bill's sponsor, Sen. Rebecca Saldaña. "It is about how we approach all the work we do" – to undo what has led to disparities in "health and opportunity" affecting too many "because of where they live." Joining her at the podium is Rep. Kirsten Harris-Talley, a new legislator who speaks emotionally about her pride that this was accomplished – "I don't want one more auntie to die 10 years too early … I don't want one more child to have asthma" because of pollution.
12:40 PM: And after more speaking and singing, the signing.
The governor declares that the HEAL Act will make environmental justice part of the state's "core strategy." He moves on to one more on-location signing in about an hour, three environmental bills he'll sign in Shoreline, two of them sponsored by West Seattle House Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon. Meantime, the video from this event should be viewable, archived, above, before long. And we'll add more coverage when we're back at HQ.
ADDED MONDAY NIGHT: From the legislative news release about the HEAL Act, more explanation:
Senate Bill 5141, the Healthy Environment for All Act (HEAL Act), addresses the disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards suffered by Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, along with low-income communities in neighborhoods across Washington state, putting them at higher risk of adverse health outcomes. This risk is further amplified for communities with pre-existing economic barriers and environmental risks.
The HEAL Act, sponsored by Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle), implements recommendations from the Environmental Justice Task Force – established by the Legislature in 2019 – on how state agencies should incorporate environmental justice principles to reduce health disparities when implementing policies and programs. Environmental justice means the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. …
Saldaña's bill establishes environmental justice requirements for seven state agencies, an interagency workgroup, and a permanent environmental justice council, the makeup of which includes a majority of representatives from impacted communities. It also sets timelines for guidance, recommendations, and implementation of environmental justice assessments, measurements, and public reporting of progress.
The indoor ceremony at the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center was followed by an outdoor celebration (with food by the Off the Rez truck, funded by Front and Centered Coalition). Speakers included the tribe's longtime chair Cecile Hansen:
She also reminded those in attendance that the Duwamish battle for recognition is not yet won, and noted what they had given up so long ago – 55,000 acres, while now, they hold only the 2/3 of an acre on which the Longhouse sits. As noted in our recent District 1 Community Network report, you can expect to hear more about the tribe's renewed quest. Their message is that despite the federal attempt at erasure, "We are still here."

YOUTH WRITING CONTEST: Southwest Seattle Historical Society's middle-school-student winner
| Duwamish Tribe | West Seattle history | West Seattle news
This week we're publishing the winning entries in the Southwest Seattle Historical Society's youth-writing contest, for essays on "Women History Makers of the Duwamish Peninsula." Tonight, the middle-school winner:
"We're Still Here"
By Elliott Neves
Cecile Hansen, chairwoman of the Duwamish Tribal Council and descendant of Chief Si'ahl (also known as Chief Seattle), has made a significant impact on women and the Duwamish Tribe. Over the years she has accomplished many of her goals through hard work and determination, and the positive outcomes have pushed the Duwamish closer to recognition. As a woman in a leadership position who isn't afraid to fight for what she wants, she is an inspiration to many.
When Cecile was a young woman, she started attending the Duwamish council meetings after hearing about them from her brother. During those meetings Cecile learned about the Treaty of Point Elliott, which was an agreement saying the tribe would get fishing rights on the Duwamish River. Unfortunately, those rights were not being recognized and Cecile had to witness the outcome as her brother got citation after citation for fishing.
One thing that Cecile fought very hard for was getting the Duwamish to be federally recognized. That means they could get benefits like health care, grants, social services, and the rights to their fishing and hunting grounds. If tribes are not recognized it is very hard (if not impossible) to get these rights and was the reason why Cecile's brother kept getting those fishing citations. On top of the physical benefits, there is also a mental benefit that comes along with being recognized. Everyone wants to feel like they are valued and a part of things. When a whole community is denied that inclusivity it is very disheartening.
In 1975 Cecile Hansen was elected chairwoman of the Duwamish Tribal Council. She led the charge to establish the Duwamish's first tribal headquarters. This was a big step because it is important in every community to have a place where you know you can get help, and where everyone is working towards the goal of making the group better. A few years later, Cecile took on the role of Protocol officer at the Seattle Burke Museum. This position enabled her to become a liaison to other Northwest tribes. In working towards her goal of gaining recognition, she joined a group of other unrecognized tribes and testified before the U.S Senate Committee on Indian Affairs about the Federal acknowledgment process.
Through thick and thin, Cecile Hansen has been there for the Duwamish Tribe. She has been a role model to women of all ages with her perseverance, and everyone should strive to have her dedication. In addition to all her other accomplishments, she also helped secure enough land to build the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural center. This center can help members of the tribe feel more connected to their heritage and ancestors. With a memorable motto of "We're still here," Cecile works very hard to make those words true for the Duwamish Tribe.
Tomorrow night, we'll publish the high-school winner's essay; if you missed it last night, here's the elementary winner.
Duwamish Longhouse plans first Native art market since pre-pandemic
| Comments Off on Duwamish Longhouse plans first Native art market since pre-pandemic
The Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center is planning its first Native art market in more than a year. April 10-11, 11 am-7 pm each day, the Longhouse (4705 W. Marginal Way SW) will open for the Spring Fling Pop-Up Art Market, promising "deals and treasures from Native artists." COVID safety precautions are planned – masks will be required, and temperatures will be checked. Admission is free.
Duwamish Tribe launches petition drive in continuing campaign for federal recognition
The Duwamish Tribe has a new bid for public support in its far-from-new fight for federal recognition. They're seeking signatures on an online petition, with this request via email:
We need 150,000 signatures to get the attention of our Washington State legislators and Senators
Please share and send this email to all your friends, family and colleagues.
Our goal is to affect positive results to rectify this injustice once and for all in 2021.
For you the citizens, residents of Washington State, the City of Seattle, King County and the United States that believe a 'Treaty" Tribe should not have to be put on hold for 45 years to prove that they are the original Duwamish Tribe that signed the Treaty of Point Elliott.
The Duwamish deserve justice now!
Here's background on the treaty – and the denial of rights that goes back more than a century and a half.
More recently, the Clinton Administration moved to grant recognition in its final days in early 2001; the incoming Bush Administration canceled it. But having a Democratic president now is no guarantee of change – the Obama Administration kept the status quo for its two terms. Six years ago, we were there as Duwamish Tribe chair Cecile Hansen and supporters confronted then-Interior Secretary Sally Jewell outside Jewell's North Admiral home; two months earlier, Interior had denied federal recognition to the Duwamish, again.

Some of what's at stake was discussed during this 2017 event at the Duwamish Longhouse. Meantime, in addition to the online petition drive, the tribe also is asking for support in a letter-writing campaign – here's the list.
For Duwamish Tribe, 2 words in proposed State Senate bill could 'erase us from the history books'

By Jason Grotelueschen
A proposed State Legislature bill encouraging students in our state to learn more about Native history contains 2 words that could spell trouble for the Duwamish Tribe.
The bill SB-5161 ("Teaching Washington's tribal history, culture, and government") is scheduled to be reviewed tomorrow (Wednesday, January 27th) in executive session of the Senate Committee on Early Learning and K-12 Education.
At issue, according to Duwamish Longhouse director Jolene Haas (also the daughter of tribal chair Cecile Hansen) is the phrase "federally recognized," which describes the tribes that are included in the scope of the bill.

Just announced at the Seattle Port Commission meeting – the six new names for Port of Seattle parks on the Duwamish River. Four are in the Lushootseed language, two are in English. From the meeting-agenda document:
The former T-105 and T-107 parks, now tuʔəlaltxʷ Village Park & Shoreline Habitat and həʔapus Village Park & Shoreline Habitat, are in West Seattle. ha?apus is the name supported by the Duwamish Tribe, whose Longhouse and Cultural Center is across the street; we reported on their advocacy when the renaming process began in July. At today's meeting, chair Cecile Hansen and longhouse director Jolene Haas expressed their thanks to community participants in the process, saying of the renaming, "We pray it will create an opportunity to heal our relationship with one another as Indian people and citizens of Seattle."
HALLOWEEN: Duwamish Longhouse plans drive-up trick-or-treating
| Comments Off on HALLOWEEN: Duwamish Longhouse plans drive-up trick-or-treating
Halloween is two weeks from tonight. The Duwamish Tribe Longhouse has just announced that it'll welcome trick-or-treaters in pandemic-era style, with drive-up trick-or-treating. 2-5 pm on Halloween (Saturday, October 31st), you're welcome to drive/ride into the Longhouse's parking lot at 4705 West Marginal Way SW to get a "Halloween goodie bag." Just one thing the Longhouse asks in return: "It's critical that we keep our communities safe this holiday season, so please wear a mask in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines."
P.S. We're still collecting decoration locations – westseattleblog@gmail.com – thank you!
Duwamish Tribe now offering 'ecotours'
On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, you might wonder about ways to support the Duwamish Tribe. They've recently announced a new offering through the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center in West Seattle: Ecotours:
The Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center is continuing our education programs, and keeping safe protocols in place to protect our communities from COVID-19. Masks are required, and we stay outdoors physically distanced at all times during the tour. Group size is limited to four people to keep with CDC guidelines suggesting groups be no larger than five people.
Visit us to learn about and walk through Hah-ah-poos Duwamish Village right on the river across the street from the Longhouse. We can talk about the history of the village site, the history of colonization in the general area of King County, some traditional food sources, and traditional ecological/land stewardship practices.
Email: tours@duwamishtribe.org to schedule a tour, or fill out the form at www.duwamishtribe.org/ecotours.
Let us know in your email, or in the website form, if you have accessibility needs. We will do our best to accommodate, but there are some limitations to the trails and paths at Hah-ah-poos (T-107 park).
It is the mission that of all the programs at the Duwamish Longhouse be self-sustaining. We recommend that our tour participants donate $10-25 per person, but know that we will not turn anyone away for financial reasons so long as we have availability.
P.S. Wondering whether the Port of Seattle will change the name of the park to honor its history as the Hah-ah-poos village site, as supported by the tribe? The port says its park-naming announcements will happen October 27th.
Any free moving boxes?

I know, sensor monitoring for GA-MA790 was implemented long ago, and even was improved in version 3.30.
But I'm new to the program, and I was used to use HWMonitor. Don't like the way it changed with the last two versions and found HWiNFO.Still, I'd like to see HWiNFO32/64 monitoring the third thermal sensor of my motherboard. I believe it's located somewhere near VRM, and I see consistent readings with old HWMonitor (TMPIN2). That temperature rises when CPU is under load, and slowly goes down when CPU is back in idle state. Could this be implemented?
Also there seems to be a sensor for -12V monitoring. It's pretty useless, anyway its implementation would be nice too.
Thank you for your work, for it's free for us.
Okay, I'll enable the 3rd temperature for this board in the next build (but not quite sure if this value is really correct, or just bogus).
I'm quite sure that the -12V reading displayed by HWMonitor is not a correct value (I doubt the system monitors this value).
Important is what the BIOS System Health screen displays, can you please take a photo of this screen and post it here?
As we both knew, there are only two temperatures. And as we both know, there are more sensors available to the installed ITE8720. I also know that the third sensor is bogus on MA770 motherboards, and still I think that on MA790 it's not.
Interestingly enough, BIOS setup and Easy Tune 6 do not provide readings for +5V or Vbatt, though other monitoring softwares do.
Yes, the sensor chip itself has more inputs for measurements, but it's a common practice that several mainboard models do not have some of them connected at all and then such a reading gives invalid/erratic values. Important is what the BIOS says..
I'll enable the 3rd temperature reporting, but will not modify the voltage values since I want to avoid reporting bogus numbers and confuse users.
Finally, I've measured -12V with the help of multimeter. It's really -12V and has nothing common with the readings from ITE.
I've measured other voltages before just to know how accurate their readings were. Pretty accurate.

Dharmadasa favourite in landmark SLC elections
3 January 2012 05:16 am - 2 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Sri Lanka Cricket is set to hold its first election in seven years on Tuesday, after a series of interim committees controlled by the political class, and at a time when the board is in financial disarray off the field, and its team displaying patchy form on it. The election itself is a fallout of the ICC's ruling that requires all member boards to be free of political interference from 2012.
A total of 147 votes are up for grabs, spread among the provincial and district cricket associations and the clubs. The election will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Sports, and supervised by the Director General of Sports, Ranjani Jayakody. Under the SLC constitution, each committee serves a one-year term.
Upali Dharmadasa, a former SLC president, is the front-runner in the election following the withdrawal of another former president, Thilanga Sumathipala. Some reports suggested Sumathipala pulled put under political pressure but he said he'd changed his mind because his other life as an MP did not give him the necessary time for cricket. Sumathipala's board was forced to stand down in the wake of an investigation into alleged financial irregularities in 2001. In 2004, he had to pull out of the elections as he was in jail at the time for passport fraud.
Sumith Perera, the head of the Badureliya Sports Club, is the other contender for president, but is not expected to pose much of a challenge for Dhamadasa, who is confident of winning in a landslide. "I think we have about 90% [of the votes],"Dharmadasa told ESPNcricinfo. "Not only for me. But for my team as well."
Nishantha Ranatunga, who had originally decided to run for secretary as an independent candidate, has received the backing of Dharmadasa. Ranatunga was the SLC secretary when the board spent heavily on the three stadia for the World Cup. His opponent is Michael De Zoysa, but Dharmadasa's support makes Ranatunga the favourite.
Whoever wins the election has the enormous challenge of rebuilding the SLC's finances, which are reportedly US$32.5 million in debt. The SLC revamped the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and built two new grounds in Pallekele and Hambantota for the 2011 World Cup, but the high cost over-runs are being blamed on the interim DS de Silva administration. These stadia are now being maintained by the government, with the army, navy and air force each looking after one stadium. The players were not paid at all for eight months between the 2011 World Cup final and the Test series in South Africa, and are still owed over 50% of their outstandings for that period.
On the field, Sri Lanka struggled to win a Test following the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan in July 2010, until their monumental upset of South Africa in Durban last week. Aside from that game, their bowlers have struggled to take 20 wickets while the batting beyond Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene has been brittle and inconsistent. A lack of young talent - Dinesh Chandimal excepted - is the main concern.
"For any committee taking over Sri Lanka cricket at this stage, it is the financial situation [that is the main concern], though I wouldn't say it is a crisis as such," Dharmadasa said. "Plus we need to look at the cricket side of things. Cricket has to be given the first priority."
In the lead up to the nominations, Dharmadasa had revealed a 12-point plan for revitalising SLC. His proposals include the maximisation of revenue from television rights, to use the 2012 World Twenty20 as a starting point to develop sports tourism in the country and to develop school cricket, which is the cradle of the game in Sri Lanka.

DEAN OF STUDENTS OFFICE DEAN OF STUDENTS OFFICE

Employment & Involvement
Student Activities Appeal
By Phyllis Meek and David D. Bynes
The University of Florida (UF) Dean of Students Office (DSO) as we know it today has undergone a complete transformation in structure since its founding days in the early 19th century. Since that time, however, the overall functions and services of this UF unit have remained the same, with student development continuing to be the office's primary function even today. As time has passed, the office has continued to adapt to new trends, new political structures, and new types of students within higher education, adaptability thus being a key to successfully carrying out the mission of the office and the institution.
Many of DSO's current functions and services have their origins in the offices of Dean of Men and Dean of Women. The Dean of Men's Office was established in the 1920's, while the Dean of Women's Office was established in 1948, which happened to be the year after the institution officially became coeducational. The first Dean of Women was Dr. Marna Brady, and at the time, Mr. Robert Beaty was the Dean of Men.
Many of the functions and services of both offices were related to the expectation that in dealing with students the university would serve in the place of the parents (in loco parentis). Staffs of both offices also advised student groups such as fraternities and sororities, student government, and service and honorary organizations; had responsibility for new student orientation; did short term counseling; and handled student crises. Another important function was working with the various judicial processes of the time. In addition, the staff of the Dean of Women's Office was responsible for advising the Women's Student Association, the student group responsible for enforcing rules and regulations that applied specifically to women students, such as curfews, dress codes, and the like.
In 1966, Dr. Marna Brady retired as the Dean of Women. Her successor, Dr. Betty Cosby, served as the second and ultimately the last Dean of Women. At this time, Dr. Frank Adams was the Dean of Men. During Dean Cosby's tenure, significant changes directly affected women students, particularly such things as the abolition of the dress code, the elimination of curfews, and the elimination of other rules specifically designed for women students. Moreover, in the late 1960's in loco parentis was replaced by increased student rights and demands. The ever-changing times in the world and in higher education as a whole would soon bring major changes to UF and to the Dean of Men's and the Dean of Women's Offices.
Consequently, in 1969 the Offices of Dean of Men and Dean of Women were merged to create the Office of Student Development. Typical of the times, Dr. Adams became Dean for the Office of Student Development while Dr. Cosby was named the Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Also, in an effort to change student's perceptions of the office, all judicial functions were removed from the office and turned over to a local part-time attorney, who served as the Director of Student Judicial at the time. This director reported directly to the Vice President for Student Affairs. With the prevalence of change during the late 1960's, two additional programs were added to the Office of Student Development—the programs and services for international students and the Institute of Black Culture.
In 1973 as Dr. Art Sandeen was appointed as Vice President for Student Affairs, it was decided that it was time to change yet again. With Dr. Tom Goodale in the major leadership role of Dean for Student Services, the Office for Student Development's name was changed to the Office for Student Services. Most of the services and functions of the office, however, remained the same. The one addition was that the office of Student Judicial Affairs rejoined the Office for Student Services.
In the early 1990's, programs and services for international students were transferred to Academic Affairs, and the Institute of Hispanic/Latino Cultures was added to the Office for Student Services. In fall 1998, the name of the office was changed again and has since remained the Dean of Students Office. The functions and services, as during prior changes within the office, remained the same.
Today, the Dean of Students Office continues to be the primary generalist office in the Division of Student Life, and staff members frequently serve as an extension of the Office of the Vice President for Student Life.

I believe that business people need to start using their phones as their primary work device.
It's no longer the laptop, and definitely not the desktop for work. In fact, I kind of think I should buy the best Phone I can get next upgrade and not bother upgrading my laptop.
It's all about apps. And as much I have been a bit fed up with Apple lately because of their pricing and limitations, they still win the app game. Although Android is getting there, but they've been "getting there" since inception.
I'd say if you haven't yet bought a laptop, rather invest in an iPhone with a decent hard drive (64/128GB).
Everything is streamlined and specifically developed to work quickly and easily. Apps for your phone are far more user friendly than computer apps. Also, unless you're working on professional audio recording, video, or maybe industry specific software, an iPhone can do almost everything better. AND you can do it anywhere, while you wait for a meeting to start, walking to a coffee shop, as a passenger in a car, or public transport.
You can TRIPLE your productivity!
Not to mention that your biggest marketing platform - social media - is the most integrated and effective from your phone. Including your advertising.
Think about it, besides a big screen and a hard drive, what is your computer doing BETTER than your phone?
Seriously, I want to know. Send me a comment and I am keen to see if I can debunk all the "pitfalls" of committing to using your phone and your primary work device.

Phil Jackson Ford Jr., né le  à Rocky Mount en Caroline du Nord, est un ancien joueur de basket-ball qui évolua dans le championnat NBA. Ce meneur de  et de , évolua dans quatre équipes différentes, les Kings de Kansas City, les Nets du New Jersey, les Bucks de Milwaukee et enfin les Rockets de Houston.

Biographie
Ford est titulaire durant les quatre années qu'il passe dans la fameuse université de la Caroline du Nord à Chapel Hill. Il s'y distingue comme un meneur d'une grande rapidité, d'une vision du jeu extraordinaire ainsi qu'un dribbleur fabuleux, capable de marquer de nombreux paniers. Lors de sa quatrième année, il marque 20,4 points par match et multiplie les passes lumineuses. Il est élu All-American en 1977 et 1978. Durant cette année il est élu USBWA men's player of the year award du meilleur joueur universitaire par la presse américaine, et reçoit le trophée Wooden et Eastman, qui récompensent respectivement le meilleur joueur universitaire du pays et de la côte Est.
À noter qu'il fait partie de la sélection américaine qui remporte la médaille d'or aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1976.

Ford est considéré comme le meilleur universitaire de l'époque, de ce fait les Kansas City Kings le sélectionnent en second choix de la Draft 1978 de la NBA. Il joue la quasi-totalité des matchs, et y marque 15,9 points par match, délivre 8,6 passes décisives et réalise 2,2 interceptions par match, ce qui lui permet de remporter le trophée de NBA Rookie of the Year. Il réalise trois bonnes saisons de suite, avec environ 16 points et 8 passes par match, mais Ford a tendance à déjouer en playoffs (son adresse diminue, en 1979 et 1981 sa moyenne de points est divisée par deux, entre la saison régulière et les playoffs).

Malheureusement, les blessures et son penchant pour l'alcool ont vraisemblablement écourté la carrière du meneur du Kansas. Sa dernière saison au sein des Kings, est marquée par une régression du niveau de jeu du meneur, son adresse est devenue catastrophique (29 % de réussite aux tirs) et il ne marque plus que 9,9 points par match; Ford, trop empris d'alcool, est devenu indésirable dans le Kansas. Fort logiquement, la saison suivante 1982-1983, il est transféré dans le New Jersey, où Ford ne joue que 26 matchs, pour être ensuite expédié aux Bucks de Milwaukee. Devenu remplaçant la saison précédente aux Kings, il ne joue plus que 20 minutes par match chez les Bucks. Il ne marque plus que 6,7 points et 5,4 passes décisives par match, et ne joue que 5 petites minutes en 2 manches de playoffs.

Ford rejoint en 1983 les Rockets de Houston. Malgré un temps de jeu supérieur, il ne retrouve pas la vista de ses débuts et il n'inscrit que 7,1 points, et ne délivre 5,1 passes décisives par match. La saison 1984-85 sonne le glas de la carrière de Ford, il ne joue que 25 match et marque à peine 2 points de moyenne. Une grave blessure l'écarte des terrains quelques mois. Il tente un retour sur les terrains en 1986, mais les Warriors de Golden State qui l'avaient convié à un camp d'entraînement, ne l'engagent pas finalement.

Ford n'a disputé que 482 matchs de championnat NBA, durant lesquels il inscrit en moyenne 11,6 points et 6,4 passes décisives par match.

Il devient ensuite directeur de banque, mais passe une grande partie de son temps libre à témoigner lors de conférences dans les universités, sur les méfaits de l'alcoolisme.

En 1988 il retourne dans son ancienne université de Caroline du Nord en tant qu'entraîneur-adjoint, un poste qu'il occupe jusqu'en 1999-2000.

Q: Inner join three tables to java DTO I'm facing the following problem...

I'm trying to have a java list of ProcessDTO object of both process and subprocess in this way:
[{"process": {
   "code": "AB",
   "name": "Proc1"
   "subprocesses":
    [{"code": "cd", "name": "subProc1"}],
    [{"code": "ef", "name": "subProc2"}],
    [{"code": "gh", "name": "subProc3"}]
  }
}]

This is what I have till now:
SELECT distinct C.code as process_code, C.name as process_name, A.code as subprocess_code, A.name as subprocess_code FROM subprocess A
inner join zone B
    on A.id = B.subprocess_id
inner join process C
    on C.id = B.process_id
    ORDER BY C.code;

But when I create the DTO class:
public class ProcessDto {

    private Long id;
    private String code;
    private String name;
    private List<Subprocess> subprocess;

}

And the query:
@RepositoryRestResource(itemResourceRel = "process", collectionResourceRel = "processes", path = "process")
public interface ProcessDataRestRepository extends JpaRepository<Process, Long> {

    @Query("Select p.code, p.name, sp.code, sp.name " +
            "from Process p " +
            "inner join Zone z on p.id = z.process " +
            "inner join Subprocess sp on sp.id = z.subprocess")
    List<ProcessDto> findProcessesAndSubprocesses();

}

I get the following error:

org.springframework.core.convert.ConverterNotFoundException: No
  converter found capable of converting from type
  [org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.query.AbstractJpaQuery$TupleConverter$TupleBackedMap]
  to type [dto.ProcessSubprocess]

I'm not sure if this is the correct approach.
A dirty way would be to do a findAll of the processes, store in an object, then iterate them and find all the subprocesses...
Is there any other way to bring everything from de BBDD and have it in an object?

A: Make an interface from that DTO so Spring engine can pick it up and create a result object automatically:
public interface ProcessDto {

    Long getId();
    String getCode();
    String getName();
    String getSubprocessName();

}

Next to the "Wickedest City in the World," which was Port Royal in the 1600s, Tortuga was a pirate haven par excellence. It was a mountainous island on the Northwest Coast of Hispaniola, which is today Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. Tortuga sat near the Windward Passage that runs between Cuba and Hispaniola. Spain used this ocean passage to ferry its treasure fleets between Central and South America to home ports on the Spanish Mainland. Because of this, the pirates' Brethren of the Coast anchored at Tortuga to harass and ransack Spanish ships as they sailed by. Also, Tortuga acted as a home base and recruiting ground for buccaneers who attacked Spanish colonies at large in the West Indies. The most famous of these cutthroats was Henry Morgan, who raised crews from Tortuga shores.
In the 17th century, many in Tortuga sought out Letters of Marque, commissions that were granted by countries, such as England and France, to persons then given legal right to prey on Spanish shipping in the Caribbean Seas. England and France often looked the other way when their buccaneers (sometimes almost outright pirates) took on Spanish ships in peace time as well as war. As long as the court received a significant cut of the wealth, the king was not inclined to listen too closely to the protests of Spanish ambassadors. It was a war by proxy to loot the gold, silver, and precious stones of South America. Each European country fought for a share, disregarding the rules of peace even when no longer formally at war.
Christopher Columbus first named Tortuga as he passed by in 1492. Its contours through the mist looked like a turtle, so Columbus named it for its appearance: Isla Tortuga, or Turtle Island. In its early days in the 1600s, Tortuga was alternately held by the Spanish, French, and English. It changed hands through battle several times during the century. Finally, the English prevailed and used buccaneers to protect its Caribbean ports from its enemy, the Spanish threat. Thus, a home base for pirates was born. Although buccaneers often acted as privateers (ships with a Letter of Marque), they strayed into piracy more often than not. Tortuga was a lawless place with as many disreputable people as there were benches to accommodate them in the burgeoning taverns. Its governors knew the value of pirates and indulged their tastes and need for a safe port to careen their ships while provisioning for the next voyage. For a while, it was a marriage made in hell, but it was an effective one throughout the 17th Century. If you visited Tortuga, you'd best be prepared to drink your rum with gunpowder in it (one recipe for grog) and fight your duels on the beach rather than onboard ship.

CoinMarketCap takes the Capital conference to the metaverse

Cryptocurrencies, the low-hanging fruit of the blockchain technology tree, have seen wider adoption when compared to other emerging blockchain fruits. Gartner predicts 20% of large enterprises will use digital currencies by 2024. However, new (or not-so-new now) on the horizon are NFTs, the metaverse and Web3 — which are becoming more mainstream. As blockchain technology continues to make more inroads into the enterprise and the buzz on NFTs, the metaverse and Web3 increases, Web3 innovators and stakeholders are increasingly gathering at events to discuss the spread, direction and impact of Web3.
One such event is CoinMarketCap's "The Capital: Time to ship conference," a virtual event hosted in the metaverse by CoinMarketCap (CMC). The two-day event, which was held on May 26th and 27th and cosponsored by industry giants like Trust Wallet, Klaytn, and Apollo X, among others, focused on metaverse, blockchain, NFTs and Web3, drawing blockchain and Web3 enthusiasts from across the world.
Keynote speakers at the conference included Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, founder and CEO at Binance, Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, Jaynti Kanani, cofounder of Polygon, Sebastien Borget, cofounder and COO at Sandbox and others.
VentureBeat was on the ground to cover the event and drill deep into what Web3 and blockchain stakeholders consider to be use cases for the emergent virtual world. While one would think a conference like Time to ship wouldn't feature cryptocurrencies so heavily on its agenda, since it was more about the metaverse, Web3 and NFTs, the opposite was the case. The conference began with Zhao delivering a keynote address on the state of crypto.

During his keynote address, Zhao touched on several sensitive issues including the Ronin Hack and how Binance helped Axie Infinity get back on its feet through a cash injection.
"Any single project failure has spillover effects on multiple fronts: investors lose confidence, the mainstream media paints a negative picture and, most importantly, people do get hurt. Most industry players do want to help each other out — especially when there's a crisis," said Zhao.
Speaking further on the role of Binance in the Twitter takeover, he said he wants Twitter to be the platform for free speech and would like to help the social network make the transition to Web3. Explaining market movement and the present bearish momentum that the cryptocurrency market is experiencing, he said there was an all-time high in 2013, an all-time high in 2017 and an all-time high in 2021, adding that there would always be lows in between, as historical numbers don't predict the future.
Zhao's views were mirrored by Saylor who, in his fireside chat on day 1, also broached the floundering state of the market from a psychological point of view. Speaking on his firm's losses in the bear market, he said "trying to sell before a loss is a trader mentality."
Decentralized finance gains new heights
Decentralized finance (DeFi) was at the center of discussion at the conference, with panel discussions around decentralized crypto exchanges (DEXs) and farm yield. Nikita Ovchinnik, chief business development officer at 1inch, said the loyalty of users helps to improve the onboarding process. He believes user loyalty can be a valuable asset during a crypto crisis (aka crypto winter) like the one being experienced now.
During a discussion on the Ethereum blockchain migration to proof of stake (PoS), Jan Liphardt, founder and chief technologist at Boba Network, said the chains offering only low cost will be in trouble, but chains that solve major gaps in the ecosystem like cross-chain transactions will thrive. Leo Chen, VP of engineering at Harmony Protocol, believes PoS is still in the early stages as a consensus mechanism and it hasn't experienced a huge attack. PoS will introduce new challenges to the ecosystem, according to Chen.
Dan Roberts, editor-in-chief at Decrypt, said the crypto winter can be a good thing since it shifts the attention of people from material gains to building sustainable products.
NFTs and new use cases
Discussed at length and with new insights, NFTs were the darling of the CMC conference. With NFTs becoming a store of value during the lockdown and even after, it's become imperative to check out new use cases and criteria believed to be key if NFTs must survive beyond the hype.
Speaking on the use cases of NFTs, Roneil Rumburg, cofounder and CEO at Audius, compared the technological advancement to hypertext in the early days of the internet. He said no one talks about hypertext now but the things this technology enabled, like Google, Amazon and Facebook.
The use case of virtual and in real life (vIRL) is slowly becoming commonplace, especially with the emergence of NFTs that allow you to own physical items without taking delivery of the said item. Owning a vIRL is having the option of selling, holding the NFT, or redeeming the physical item, enabling vIRLs to save the environment from excess shipping.
Metaverse not yet mature
As the conference neared its end, Paul Caslin from Hello made a case for adoption, stating that while the metaverse can bring people together, most virtual worlds currently don't bring mainstream audiences into the space and deliver entertainment that's captivating. Perhaps this is proof that the metaverse isn't near maturity yet?
While experts say technologies like AR, VR, blockchain, 5G and AI will converge to improve the metaverse, we're barely scratching the surface. The potentials are undoubtedly huge, but it might take some celebrity firepower to spark conversations in new sectors of the endeavor. Like Caslin noted, the floodgates can be opened via different strategies, "…once it's good for one person, it's good for everyone. There are many people on the sidelines at the moment waiting to see what happens," he said.

What was sought was a high agronomic sustainability index; however, more than two decades after these practices were adopted, the economic, social, and environmental outcomes have surpassed all expectations. In addition to increased productivity and value added on account of the securing of organic certifications, these practices have afforded several social and environmental benefits, such as quantitative and qualitative improvements in water resources, greenhouse gas emission reductions, less use of non-renewable chemical inputs, mitigation of the risk of worker and consumer contamination, and professional training of rural workers, among others. Insofar as biodiversity is concerned, the actions that were implemented integrate synergistically, generating conditions of environmental comfort to a varied, complex food web.
Organic food production benefits the consumer with tasty, nutritious, and safe products. But more than being beneficial to human health, certified organic foods are about ensuring respect for the environment where such foods were produced.
In our Sustainability Profile and in our Biodiversity Hotsite, we showcase the amazing results these and other initiatives have achieved that show our commitment to sustainability in the pursuit of an economically feasible, socially equitable, and environmentally responsible model of development.


A wet skunk waddled across the carpet while my sister was cutting my hair. I may not have been thinking too clearly and grabbed a hair dryer and aimed the gun at the creature, which froze in its tracks. It arched like a cat, and I worried it was going to blast us with spray, but instead it appeared content to feel the warm air jets against its fur. I continued to aim the gun steadily, and before our eyes, the skunk shrunk down to the size of a mouse. Then it ran up the leg of the chair and onto my sister's head, where it tightly gripped her hair. She shrieked, but I urged her to remain calm and then led her outdoors. There was a copse of ornamental bushes by the side of the front door; and, though in retrospect, it would have been wiser to travel a little farther away from the house, in all truth, my sister was fading fast. Yet she remained a trouper as I held her forearm and we waited. Sure enough, there came a small plopping noise as the tiny animal saw the bushes and plunged off my sister's coif like a flying squirrel. I patted her on the back, reassuringly. She had had a rough go of it, to be sure, but hadn't we dealt successfully with the skunk menace? My theme, you see, is cooperation.
I wasn't sure whether this was narrative poetry or poetic prose, but since I have quite a few of M.V.'s poems in the queue, I thought I'd pretend to myself it's prose and get it out there.

Governments target 1,000 businesses to commit to 100% renewable energy
A raft of new companies including Tetra Pak, Interface and Equinix have pledged to source 100% renewable energy as part of a RE100 initiative that will be galvanised by a government-led push to promote the renewables revolution to 1,000 businesses.

Unveiled on Thursday (2 June), at the Seventh Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM7) in San Francisco, a new 'Corporate Sourcing of Renewables' campaign – led by the German and Danish Governments – will aim to add to the six new RE100 pledges – from Equinix, Tetra Pak, TD Bank Group, Interface, Dentsu Aegis Network and Workday – to drive the commitment across 23 countries and the European Commission.
As a partner of the initiative alongside CDP, the Climate Group's chief executive officer Mark Kenber said: "The demand push from corporates is as important as supportive government policy – bold action by businesses, cities and governments sends a strong market signal and means we can hold global warming below two degrees far more quickly.
"The Clean Energy Ministerial is shining the spotlight on RE100 as a model of best practice in galvanising the switch to renewable energy, and the wave of influential companies joining RE100 today shows the business case for 100% renewables is as strong as ever.
"In many cases business wants to go further and faster. Governments can play a key role by implementing supportive policies, particularly in emerging economies – crucial for unlocking the growth of the renewable energy market globally."
The new campaign is encouraging businesses to commit to sourcing 100% renewable power by signing up to the RE100 initiative. Governments will now lead the push to get 1,000 businesses to join RE100, which currently incorporates 65 companies.

For the six new companies that have pledged to source renewables, meeting the goals will collectively source more than 4,000GWh from clean energy generators such as solar and wind – enough to power the whole of San Francisco.
While TD Bank Group and Workday already source 100% renewables, TetraPak has set the target for 2030, while Interface and Dentsu Aegis Network have committed to sourcing 100% renewables by 2020.
Renewable progress
RE100 has previously estimated that 1,000 businesses using 100% renewables would lead to a tenth of all electricity-generated carbon emissions to be cut worldwide – more than 1,000Mt each year and accountable for more than 3% of global emissions.
Latest available data – from 2014 and therefore not including all 65 companies – has already shown that 53 companies in the RE100 are, on average, halfway to their 100% renewables goal. RE100 predicts that the 53 signatories will reach an average of 80% renewable electricity by 2020.
For companies such as Interface and TetraPak, which are better known for efforts regarding circular economy, the RE100 initiative gives them a chance to work alongside the likes of Google and Unilever in striving to run business models using 100% renewable energy.

Diplomacy and Duplicity

"An ambassador is an honest gentleman sent to lie abroad for the good of his country." That's supposedly what British diplomat Sir Henry Wotton said about his profession in 1604. And many people would still agree with the sentiment today. Internationally brokered ceasefires go unheeded. Countries fight wars without ever declaring them. And just because you ratify a multinational agreement doesn't always mean you follow through on your commitments. Is it willful belligerence? Unrealistic expectations for the international ...
The Snowden Affair: Winners and Losers
Ed Snowden, the U.S. citizen and cyber-surveillance whistle-blower, has been somewhere in the transit area of Moscow's labyrinthine Sheremetyevo International Airport for almost one month. His disclosure of documents detailing mass telephone and internet monitoring by U.S., U.K., N.Z., Australian, and French intelligence agencies, often with active private sector collusion, has resulted in him being proclaimed a hero in some quarters, and a traitor in others. The U.S. government has charged him with the theft of ...

In algebra, a torsion-free module is a module over a ring such that zero is the only element annihilated by a regular element (non zero-divisor) of the ring. In other words, a module is torsion free if its torsion submodule is reduced to its zero element.

In integral domains the regular elements of the ring are its nonzero elements, so in this case a torsion-free module is one such that zero is the only element annihilated by some non-zero element of the ring. Some authors work only over integral domains and use this condition as the definition of a torsion-free module, but this does not work well over more general rings, for if the ring contains zero-divisors then the only module satisfying this condition is the zero module.

Examples of torsion-free modules

Over a commutative ring R with total quotient ring K, a module M is torsion-free if and only if Tor1(K/R,M) vanishes.  Therefore flat modules, and in particular free and projective modules, are torsion-free, but the converse need not be true. An example of a torsion-free module that is not flat is the ideal (x, y) of the polynomial ring k[x, y] over a field k, interpreted as a module over k[x, y].

Any torsionless module over a domain is a torsion-free module, but the converse is not true, as  Q is a torsion-free Z-module which is not torsionless.

Structure of torsion-free modules

Over a Noetherian integral domain, torsion-free modules are the modules whose only associated prime is zero. More generally, over a Noetherian commutative ring the torsion-free modules are those modules all of whose associated primes are contained in the associated primes of the ring.

Over a Noetherian integrally closed domain, any finitely-generated torsion-free module has a free submodule such that the quotient by it is isomorphic to an ideal of the ring.

Over a Dedekind domain, a finitely-generated module is torsion-free if and only if it is projective, but is in general not free. Any such module is isomorphic to the sum of a finitely-generated free module and an ideal, and the class of the ideal is uniquely determined by the module.

Over a principal ideal domain, finitely-generated modules are torsion-free if and only if they are free.

Torsion-free covers

Over an integral domain, every module M has a torsion-free cover  from a torsion-free module F onto M, with the properties that any other torsion-free module mapping onto M factors through F, and any endomorphism of F over M is an automorphism of F. Such a torsion-free cover of M is unique up to isomorphism. Torsion-free covers are closely related to flat covers.

Torsion-free quasicoherent sheaves
A quasicoherent sheaf F over a scheme X is a sheaf of -modules such that for any open affine subscheme U = Spec(R) the restriction F|U is associated to some module M over R. The sheaf F is said to be torsion-free if all those modules M are torsion-free over their respective rings. Alternatively, F is torsion-free if and only if it has no local torsion sections.
