The rocky shore at Smith Cove offers beautiful scenery and excellent snorkeling.
the feeling of silky smooth sand between your toes as you walk from your beach chair to the 85-degree salt water is the Holy Grail of beach vacations.
Tropical destinations offer it all over the world, from the Maldives to Bali to the Florida Keys. But the Cayman Islands — at once accessible and remote — provide a wonderful destination option for those looking for a quick beach escape this fall.
From Denver, it took roughly seven hours in the air, with a two-hour layover in Charlotte, to get to Grand Cayman. And when you land at the unassuming airport and step out into the humid air, you immediately hear the sounds of live steel drums in the terminal — a pleasant way to spend time in a long line for customs and immigration.
If you can follow these simple rules of the road, then you can safely drive yourself away from Seven Mile Beach, where the majority of the island's resorts are clustered. Not that Seven Mile Beach is a place you must get away from — its white, silky sand and warm turquoise water is pure heaven — but you have to explore away from it if you want to find the tiny bit of true local culture that exists in Grand Cayman.
Still, it was hard to find those authentic local spots. Even when you ask local people to reveal their secrets, they seem to always steer you toward something expensive and touristy. I guess that's what most of the wealthy Britons and Americans who travel to Grand Cayman truly want — the high-end stuff — but I also like to get off the beaten path a bit when I travel.
The best find on the entire island in terms of beaches was without a doubt Smith Cove. It's just a couple of minutes by car from the tacky strip of souvenir shops swarming with cruise ship passengers in George Town — or about 10-15 minutes from Seven Mile Beach — but it feels like it's a million miles away. On a tiny island such as Grand Cayman where the tourism industry dominates, this beach feels like it could be set on a private island in the middle of the Caribbean.
Smith Cove's rocky shoreline provides a scenic landscape on an otherwise flat tropical island, and the snorkeling around the beautiful coral reef that hugs this cove is spectacular. The only other people we saw at this beach were locals, most of whom came there to snorkel.
I saw beautiful sea life, nothing overly exotic or rare, but just a consistent stream of colorful fish and stingrays. I could have stayed out there all day, but a thunderstorm drove me out of the water.
As my friend Danielle and I waited for the rain to pass — a rain shower in Grand Cayman never seems to last more than an hour — we headed over to the Grand Old House, a fine dining waterfront restaurant next to Smith Cove. We snacked on delicious conch ceviche and conch fritters, sipped some Champagne and before we knew it, the storm cleared and we were back on the beach.
Conch was one of the local items we wanted to eat, as well as turtle stew, oxtail and Caymanian fish dishes. We settled for conch at the fine dining place, but sought out the dives for the other dishes. Unfortunately we never did find turtle stew — apparently it's something most restaurants make on Fridays and we had other plans.
We did find minced fish at Vivine's Kitchen on the East End — a restaurant set on the patio of Miss Vivine's home that overlooks the water — which had hints of garlic, vinegar, hot peppers and citrus. We ordered it with some fried mahi, which had a nice and light batter and great flavor. This place had a less touristy feel, and a couple of local people had suggested it, although we also saw it in a Fodor's travel book, which proved the point that it's hard to find anything on Grand Cayman that doesn't cater to tourists in one way or another.
The East End was very quiet – just a couple of timeshare condominium places set on the beach. The snorkeling in front of the Morritt's Resort was lovely — the reef came right up to the beach and you didn't have to swim far at all to see beautiful coral and fish. The East End in mid-August truly did feel like offseason — I think we saw two or three couples on the beach and that was it. The sand wasn't as fine as on Seven Mile Beach, and the water was rocky and had a lot of seaweed in it, but these were minor complaints.
Another not-to-miss excursion in Grand Cayman is Stingray City, but hitting it at the right time is crucial. You can guarantee this by booking a trip on the Six Senses Eco Tour. It's a relaxed day aboard a cozy tri hull 30-foot pontoon boat, and the best part is that the company's owner Paul Deegan keeps the trips small. We went on a Monday and there were just a dozen people on the boat, making the trip feel more like a day out on the water with friends rather than a tourist excursion.
He hit all of the spots that non scuba-divers would want to see on a boat trip — Starfish Point where you swim along a sandbar scattered with starfish, mangrove wetland forests in the environmental protection zone, the Coral Barrier Reef for snorkeling and Rum Point for lunch. The best part of the day is Stingray City, where you swim with stingrays and the more adventurous can even pet and hold them. Deegan manages to pull into this popular sandbar when few, if any, other boats are there.
Stingray City can be overrun with tourists, with as many as 2,000 people there at times. I think I counted 15 people — just three others on a private boat in addition to the dozen on our trip — which equated to about two stingrays per person.
Up in West Bay, just north of Seven Mile Beach, we found another local dining spot called Liberty's. This place was a true dive, and the food was pretty good. I had oxtail, served as a hearty stew with all the bones and all the fat, accompanied by tasty black beans and rice and fried sweet plantains.
After seeking out the few local food spots we could find, we did like most visitors to Grand Cayman do and ate out in the more popular, and often really nice, places the rest of the time. Ragazzi and Agua were delicious, as were the indulgent Sunday brunch at Luca and the high-quality dishes at the Sunshine Grill, but the meal of the trip was without a doubt at Blue, the Eric Ripert restaurant in the Ritz Carlton.
It was five courses of pure decadence, accompanied by impeccable service.
The food was inventive and it all came out looking like artwork on a plate, with the flavors to back it up.
The highlights were the tuna foie gras, grilled octopus with green olives and black garlic, ravioli filled with shellfish and soy butter sauce, and a beautifully crispy striped bass.
Blue is expensive, but our conclusion after the meal — thankfully — was that it was well worth it.
That was kind of the overall feeling about Grand Cayman — everything was expensive, but the quality made it all worth it. But as someone who thrives on soaking up local culture and adventure while traveling, I'd have to say that there just isn't much of it on Grand Cayman aside from water activities.

If you are injured by another person's negligence– in a traffic collision or any other type of accident – as soon as you have obtained medical treatment, you must contact an experienced New Orleans car accident attorney.
If you have been injured because someone else was negligent, the law in Louisiana entitles you to complete compensation for your accident-related medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more. But what does it take to win the compensation that you are entitled to?
HOW DOES AN INSURANCE COMPANY'S INVESTIGATION BEGIN?
As soon as a personal injury claim is filed with an insurance company, an insurance adjuster will be assigned to the case, and that adjuster will begin scrutinizing the details of your claim.
The insurance adjuster is responsible for investigating the case, determining what the insurance company believes your claim is worth, and negotiating a settlement.
If you are filing a "third-party" claim with the company that insures the negligent party who injured you, probably the first thing that an adjuster will do upon receiving the claim is to interview the policyholder – that is, the person allegedly liable for causing your personal injury.
The adjuster will also want a copy of any official records generated by the accident – such as the police report – if you were injured in a traffic collision.
WHAT ELSE WILL AN ADJUSTER DO TO INVESTIGATE A CLAIM?
An adjuster's first response to a claimant is usually a letter that explains what the specific insurance policy in question provides. The letter will also request from the claimant documents such as hospital bills, medical test results, and proof of property damages and other losses.
But that is only the beginning of a claims adjuster's investigation. When you file a third-party insurance claim, the adjuster who gets the case will want to know exactly who you are and how the amount you are seeking can be reduced.
An adjuster will probably check your name against insurance claims databases to learn if you have any history of filing insurance claims. An adjuster will probably also look at your Facebook and Twitter accounts to see if anything "useful" to the insurance company can be learned there.
WHEN YOU FILE A CLAIM, HOW SHOULD YOU DEAL WITH SOCIAL MEDIA?
What could be posted on your Facebook page that an insurance company might find useful?
If you tell an insurance company that you were injured in a traffic collision, but your Facebook page shows that you were playing softball the next day – or that you fell off a ladder the day before – an insurance adjuster will have evidence that might be used to deny your claim entirely.
If you have been injured by someone else's negligence, do not post anything online – and don't remove anything that's already there – until you have discussed the case and your rights with your personal injury lawyer.
A claims adjuster will need to see your medical records if you are making a personal injury claim, and these records can be decisive. If you file a third-party personal injury claim, the adjuster will probably send you a request for your authorization to obtain your medical records.
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU COOPERATE WITH AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER?
Don't sign any authorization without first consulting your accident attorney. You could be signing away rights or agreeing to something that will hurt your claim. Your attorney will explain precisely what is being requested and whether or not you should agree to it.
A claims adjuster also usually asks an injury victim to make a "formal" audio or video statement about the accident, how it happened, and how it has impacted your life. Don't do it – until you've spoken with your attorney.
After a claims adjuster has asked all of the questions and examined all of the documents and other evidence, the adjuster will determine what the insurance company is willing to pay for the claim.
1. Video surveillance: Video surveillance results in an invasion of privacy and when we subpoena the investigator's billing records … they'll deliberately withhold something that they try to spring on you in a mediation or trial.
2. Gathering of old medical records: They'll try to say anything that the client is claiming as an injury to be pre-existing from some random, one-time thing that happened 10 years before.
3. Getting the client's driving record: If there was a moving violation or past accident, the insurance company will try to claim the client is a bad driver and must somehow be at least partially responsible for the accident.
4. If there is a lost wage claim, they'll get tax returns and employment records to show that a person either didn't pay taxes or received cash, etc. to gain leverage by threatening to notify the IRS.
6. Going on a witch hunt by trying to depose relatives to verify if the person is really that hurt.
WHO SHOULD HANDLE YOUR CASE IF YOU'VE BEEN INJURED?
If you have been injured, your attorney should answer all of the adjuster's questions and handle any negotiations on your behalf.
If you were not injured, but you sustained damage to your vehicle or other property damages in an accident, it will probably be more expedient to handle the matter on your own. Vehicles come and go, but your health and your future are too important to risk.
Anyone injured by another person's negligence in this state should reach out immediately to a Louisiana personal injury lawyer for legal guidance and representation. You should refer any questions or inquiries from the insurance company to your attorney.
WHEN SHOULD YOU ACCEPT AN INSURANCE COMPANY'S OFFER?
If you negotiate directly with an insurance company for property damages, you will probably want to reject the insurance company's first offer. Why?
The first settlement offer from an insurance company is typically a very low offer. If you choose to negotiate for a more reasonable settlement, you will need receipts and any other pertinent documents to support your claim and to prove that the amount you are seeking is appropriate.
Don't let any insurance company intimidate you. Negotiating for an adequate settlement of a property damage claim is your right. If the company's first offer is not sufficient, negotiate. You will probably find that the claims adjuster is customer-oriented and professional.
When the evidence backs up your claim, you will likely receive the compensation that you need to replace or repair your vehicle or other damaged property.
Usually, if you have a straightforward property claim instead of a complicated personal injury case, your claim can be quickly processed and paid.
If an insurance company avoids its responsibility to you when you negotiate a property damage claim, get some legal advice from a skilled accident lawyer.
You may have a "bad faith" claim against the insurance company, but such cases are rare, and most consumers have no trouble negotiating a property damage claim without an attorney's help.
However, if you have been injured by someone else's negligence, everything changes, and you are very much going to need an accident lawyer's advice and assistance. It's your right to seek and have that help, and if your injuries are serious, your future could depend on it.

Civil society groups denounce new environment bill
Home » Region » Thailand » Civil society groups denounce new environment bill
Prachatai
Key representatives of the People's Network for Sustainable Development in front of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in Bangkok on 24 July 2017
Environmentalists have called on the authorities to rethink changing Thailand's environmental protection law, because the process lacks public oversight.
On 24 July 2017, representatives of the People's Network for Sustainable Development led by Save Andaman from Coal submitted a petition to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment about the proposed Enhancement and Conservation of the National Environmental Quality Bill, which has been drafted to replace the 1992 version currently in use.
According to the group, the Bill has many legal loopholes and was drafted without genuine public participation, which is a violation of Article 77 of the 2017 Constitution.
Echoing a previous NCPO Head Order, the new bill cuts short the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, making it possible for state agencies to expedite public bids to find subcontractors for mega state projects even before the EIA is complete.
Article 50 of the bill also makes it possible for the authorities to skip the EIA process for projects located in close proximity to similar projects that have already passed an assessment, the network added.
"This bill is secondary in importance to the Constitution. However, the process of listening was conducted without care, which will have wide impacts…also it has implications that might benefit large [state] projects," reads part of the statement from the group.
The statement accepted that the Ministry held a forum about the bill on 17 July and opened an online survey on the Ministry's website to collect feedback. However, the bill was already completely drafted before people were allowed to express their opinions.
The network states that instead of making the EIA compulsory, the bill should implement a more holistic and inclusive process conducted independently, such as a Strategic Environmental Assessment.
The group vowed to escalate opposition to the amendment process.
Earlier, on 23 July, a gathering by the People's Network was prohibited by police on grounds that it violated the Public Assembly Act and the ban on political gatherings of five or more persons.
Subsequently the group resorted to sending their representatives to submit the petition.

Hockey's return lets guys be guys again
February 11, 2013 By Ian Robinson
That was close.
If the NHL lockout had gone on just a little while longer, we would have had to start talking about our feelings or something.
Taking hockey out of the lives of Canadian men is like taking dark chocolate and bitching about men out of the lives of Canadian women.
Now before you start penning sternly worded e-mails to poor, old Mike Jiggens, the very nice man who edits this magazine, I know there's oodles of women who love the NHL.
For a lot of Canadian women, all the guys who play in their Fantasy Sex League—with the exception of Clooney—are missing their front teeth from taking:
a) A puck in the mouth
b) A skate in the mouth
c) A stick in the mouth
d) A fist in the mouth
But even those girls?
They have lives. They have other interests. They're grownups who can shrug their shoulders and get on with things when there's no hockey on TV.
But men?
Men don't do that.
There was this…emptiness in the men around me.
Guys who used to congregate in one spot in the office to talk hockey would start to coalesce there…and then look embarrassed and wander off because there was nothing to talk about.
They wanted to talk.
They wanted to enjoy the company of other men.
They wanted to be together.
But the thing that brought them together was gone.
In my part of the world, that something is the shared sorrow of being a Calgary Flames fan.
It's been a long time since 1989.
Oh you find a bunch of Oiler fans and some Canucks fans out here, too, but it's mostly Flames. On game days, guys wear team jerseys to work, just to be part of what is known as The Sea of Red in this town.
The comedian Whitney Cummings once said that men dressing up in team jerseys to watch sports is like women dressing up in surgical scrubs to watch Grey's Anatomy.
I once repeated that to a guy who nodded thoughtfully and said, "Makes sense. Why aren't women dressing up like doctors to watch that show? Women are weird, eh?"
Which leads me to the conclusion that while we're the same species, men and women are never going to understand each other.
The only people not sorrowful about the Flames are the owners…it's tough to find an unsold seat in that old swaybacked barn called the Saddledome.
For a while there during the lockout, the guys would still congregate.
They'd talk about the labour negotiations and the intricacies of tactical moves like voluntary decertification of the player's association which apparently is a thing that could have allowed another thing to happen which might allow a third thing to happen that once helped the NBA in its negotiations with its league.
That's how bad it was.
Guys were learning to talk like lawyers so they could talk about hockey, if only second-hand.
Before the lockout ended, one guy I knew even joined a ping-pong league because he needed something to fill his evenings and if he didn't get out of the house, he was going to have to talk to his wife.
And do you remember what happened when they cancelled hockey the last time?
They started running poker games on TSN and everybody laughed at first and the next thing I knew, every guy was hooked and even today, every time there's a get-together, I wind up playing Texas hold-em for three hours.
I was terrified that this time, TSN would start broadcasting dominos and I'd have to learn how to play that.
For some reason, everybody blamed Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League.
I think it's partly because he looks like a comic-book super villain.
The Penguin, maybe?
But Bettman was the bad guy.
I hate to break it to you, kids, but there's a reason the owners have kept the guy around since 1993. It's so he can be the guy you hate so you're not hating them.
And here's another thing.
Under Bettman, NHL revenues went from $400 million a year when he was hired to $3 billion last season.
That's not just real money. That's Oprah money.
Like it or not, Bettman did it.
But the reason hockey fans hate Bettman is simple if you quit thinking of hockey as a business—which it is—and start thinking of it the way hockey fans, mostly Canadian, regard it.
As a religion.
And as the Pope of Canada's most diverse and numerous religious group, Bettman doesn't quite measure up.
At any rate…hockey's back and, as I write this, the Calgary Flames have just registered their third straight loss of the season.
The reason Flames fans have to share their sorrow is that there's so very much of it to go around.
Alas, I'll never be wooed into poetry
Hunt Club's greens return to glory
Football field to NHL rink transformation goes smoothly
Irrigation work throws curve at Calgary little league
These superintendents really are 'super'
Preparing for a U.S. Open always a challenging proposition


If your idea of a good time is to get up early on a Saturday morning, take a train ride to Queens, and talk about the effects of methocel on mango juice, then I have just the place for you to go.
The duo behind the Ideas in Food blog are Chefs H. Alexander Talbot and Aki Kamozawa and they are at the forefront of molecular gastronomy, or contemporary cuisine or whatever you call the movement that is the avant-garde of the cooking world. They have returned from a summer gig in Montana, and are now offering classes in their home.
In a nutshell, what they are doing is experimenting, manipulating and creating new food textures using food grade chemicals. If your first reaction is YUCK, hang on for a minute. Alex's intro into the class touched on this problem of perception. Chemical manipulation has been done to many every day items that you eat…do you think sugar grows all nice and organically inside those little packets? Alex's take on some of these products is to treat them as you would any other ingredient, and to think of them as ingredients. There are producers who are even working on organic grade agar or carrageenan, which is derived from red seaweed.
It was a brain stimulating class; we made eggnog knots, turning commercial eggnog into a simple, and elegant presentation. We made a very stable and airy foam out of mango juice, which was used as a filling for violet scented yoghurt skin with the assembled dish looking brain teasingly like an omelet. We made gel strips out of applesauce that tasted just like apple pie. My mind was bouncing around with all the possibilities. I'm not numbers oriented, but on the train ride home, I was wondering about the effects of combining F50 with A15 methocel and should locust bean gum be added for flexibility. I can honestly say that I think it was the first time I'd ever considered this sort of food manipulation. And cooking, adding heat, is the most basic form of manipulation, so this is just a sort of evolution.
But, at days end, its still about flavor, texture, and satisfaction. I think it is easy to get wrapped up in the possibilities, however you don't want to lose sight of the ultimate goal: dining pleasure. So, I'm not so sure about a gel that mimics the flavor of apple pie without the decadence of a good crust to back it up; however I am sure about that celery root cube we sampled because it completely and totally rocked. It's a fantastic world to explore and to play around with, but you must watch out that you don't lose track of that ultimate goal.

Conservatives rally at Capitol for 7-1 map after leadership pauses floor discussion,
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — After Senate majority leadership said floor debate on redistricting would be tabled for the time being, members of the Conservative Caucus hosted a gathering at the Capitol Tuesday in favor of a 7-1 map.
The "Consent of the Governed" rally was organized to support a map that would have seven of the eight congressional districts drawn to support Republicans. A House-approved map up for consideration in the upper chamber is said to only have six Republican-leaning seats.
Conservatives launched a massive filibuster last week, derailing session even on rare Friday and Saturday session days.
Sens. Denny Hoskins, Mike Moon, Bill Eigel, and Bob Onder spoke at the event and received standing ovations.
"My bosses [constituents] are telling me to pass a 7-1 map, and I get it and that's what I'm planning to vote for," Moon said.
The senators assured the crowd that their efforts would continue beyond last week's filibuster
"Fifty-one hours later, they don't think we're going to sit down and shut up," Onder said.
Having an additional vote for pro-life issues was the key priority of many of the attendees.
"I think Onder and Eigel and [Sen. Rick] Brattin and Moon have been consistently doing the right thing," Bev Ehlen, a pro-life organizer, told the Missouri Times.
Speakers also justified the 7-1 map due to maps drawn in Democratic states that have eliminated Republican-leaning districts.
"You'd think a red state where Donald Trump won by 20 points would fight fire with fire," Hoskins said.
Reps. John Simmons and Sara Walsh joined the event to speak after the senators concluded their remarks.
"We need to send more conservatives to Washington, D.C.," Walsh said.
Initially, a trucker convoy for the rally was planned at the Capitol. According to the Conservative Caucus, the convoy was informed they could be fined or arrested since they did not have a parade permit.
A spokesperson for the Jefferson City Police department was not immediately available for comment. However, ABC 17's Lucas Geisler reported a police spokesperson said the group was informed about the need for a parade permit but was not stopped from leaving the parking lot where they had gathered in North Jefferson City.
In a harsh rebuke Saturday evening, Senate leadership castigated Conservative Caucus members who have held the floor in a marathon debate this week.
"Over the last several weeks, we have watched as business critical to Missouri citizens has been delayed by a small group of senators willing to send our congressional map to federal courts if they do not get districts that suit their ambition," a statement put out by Majority Floor Leader Caleb Rowden said. "These senators are also standing in the way of critical policies Missourians are asking for — election reform, banning critical race theory, providing more choice for Missouri parents, and the list goes on."
The Senate convened for rare sessions on Friday and Saturday, as Republican leaders and activists gathered in St. Charles for the statewide Lincoln Days event, but the filibuster continued.
The Senate leadership statement said: "For the time being, we will step away from this debate on the Senate floor."

Pasadena, TX-based SHARED RESOURCES is an NCUA-insured credit union started in 1949. The credit union holds $27.9 million in assets, according to December 31, 2017, regulatory filings.
Members have $22.0 million on deposit tended by 8 full-time employees. With that footprint, the credit union holds loans and leases worth $22.0 million. SHARED RESOURCES's 3,067 members currently have $23.6 million in shares with the credit union.
Overall, Bankrate believes that, as of December 31, 2017, SHARED RESOURCES exhibited a good condition, earning 4 out of 5 stars for safety and soundness. Here's an analysis of how the credit union did on the three major criteria Bankrate used to evaluate U.S. credit unions.
When it comes to measuring a credit union's financial resilience, capital is useful. It works as a cushion against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. When it comes to safety and soundness, the more capital, the better.
SHARED RESOURCES received a score of 12 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure capital adequacy, below the national average of 15.65.
SHARED RESOURCES had a capitalization ratio of 12.00 percent in our test, worse than the average for all credit unions, an indication that it could have a harder time weathering financial trouble than its peers.
This test's purpose is to estimate how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as past-due loans.
Having a large number of these types of assets suggests a credit union may have to use capital to cover losses, decreasing its cushion of equity. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, resulting in diminished earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
SHARED RESOURCES did better than the national average of 38.09 on Bankrate's asset quality test, racking up 40 out of a possible 40 points .
Troubled assets made up 0.00 percent of SHARED RESOURCES's total assets in our test, lower than the national average and potentially indicative of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
How successful a credit union is at making money has an effect on its safety and soundness. A credit union can retain its earnings, giving a boost to its capital buffer, or use them to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in times of trouble. Conversely, losses take away from a credit union's ability to do those things.
SHARED RESOURCES scored 6 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's test of earnings, lower than the national average of 10.11.
One sign that SHARED RESOURCES is beating its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions.

Q: how to find file in a set of directories using its ID I have a set of 4040 directories. Every directory contains 5000 files. Files are identified by their numbers.
 - Directory 1 contains files from 1.txt to 5000.txt
 - Directory 2 contains files from 5001.txt to 10,000.txt
 - Directory 3 contains files from 10001.txt to 15000.txt
 - ....
 - Directory 4040 contains files from 20200001.txt to 20204083.tx

I want to search for every file by it's ID. For example: if i type x = 10 it should open file 10.txt from directory 1. As input I have the file ID and the path. what formula that I can use to do this.

I tried the divide the ID by the size of the set.
For example If I divide 14,000 by 4040 I get 3.4 which is wrong. 14,000 should be in set 2.

A: Using integer division,
int file_id = ...;
int directory_id = (file_id - 1) / 5000 + 1;

Climate impacts conference looks at the big picture
Researchers come together to discuss the global impacts of climate change this week at a conference co-organized by IIASA and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
potsdam institute
05/27/2013 - Droughts, floods, crop failures, invading species and diseases – climate change impacts of today and tomorrow come with a raft of buzz words. But the science behind our understanding of the potential consequences of global warming is both much broader and much more fragmented.
For the first time ever, scientists and stakeholders from all over the world come together this week to have a look at the big impacts picture. They assemble at the "Impacts World 2013" conference in Potsdam, Germany, aiming at developing a new scientific agenda to systematically address knowledge gaps and to start bridging them. Participants include top decision-makers like EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard and Rachel Kyte of the World Bank, as well as eminent scientists like Cynthia Rosenzweig of the US NASA Climate Research Unit and Joseph Alcamo of the UN Environment Program.
"For the sake of evidence-based decision-making in this world confronted with unprecedented climate change, the moment has come for impacts research to enter a new era – and we're very proud to host the event that marks this important step forward," says Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), which helped organizing this community-driven effort together with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
Starting the painstaking integration
"However, this also means to go where it hurts," Schellnhuber emphasizes. "Poignant case studies and pioneering computer simulations of single sectors, like agriculture or water management, laid the foundation for starting the painstaking integration of results, across sectors and scales. So this is about connecting the dots – and about leaving terra incognita for good."
Climate impacts research is a rather young branch of global-change science. It is now virtually certain, from fundamental physics, careful observations, and advanced simulation modeling, that the emissions of greenhouse gases lead to climate change. But while it is also clear that under significant global warming negative effects like decreased rainfall in already arid regions outweigh positive ones like the CO2-fertilization of plants in the long run, modeling of climate impacts has to deal with vast complexities, heterogeneities, and thus uncertainties. Analyzing the effects of climate change for societies is especially complicated by sectoral interactions such as the impacts of ecosystems change on malaria distribution or the consequences of ocean acidification and coastal erosion for global food supply.
Preparing stakeholders for tough choices
"Decision-makers are confronted with significant uncertainties when it comes to assess the seriousness of climate-change impacts and their exact distribution in space and time," says Schellnhuber. "Science can support them in taking a risk-management perspective – some impacts might have a low probability of occurring, yet would result in inacceptable damages, so from a precautionary perspective they should rather be avoided." For those effects might profoundly hurt the livelihoods of many million people. "We cannot predict the future," Schellnhuber says. "Yet we shape it, every single day."
How can we assess knock-on effects of impacts triggered by future extreme events? How can we improve our observational archives, and deal with incomplete data sets? How can we enhance the robustness of projections? How can we rigorously validate impact models? For the benefit of adaptation strategies, are we able to project the timing of impacts? These are just a few of the questions to be addressed by the scientists. The discussions will help to advance the agenda in one of the world's most crucial fields of science.
The findings to be discussed at Impacts World 2013 will be part of the bulk of science which feeds into the upcoming Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A special side event will be dedicated to the Intersectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP) which, for the first time, has achieved a comprehensive model-based analysis of global impacts across different sectors.
Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action: "Cutting the world's greenhouse-gas emissions must remain our top priority in order to keep global warming below 2°C and avert dangerous climate change. But the adverse impacts of the changing climate are increasingly evident today in Europe. Adapting to these changes is one of the most fundamental challenges for territorial development in Europe. This is why the European Commission prepared a strategy that will help decision-makers in Europe to choose the best solutions to the benefit of their citizens. This will stimulate growth and jobs and prevent potentially high human, economic and environmental costs later on. For evidence-based strategies and from a risk management perspective, policy-makers like us need sound information on potential climate impacts, and no one but science can deliver that. I very much welcome the great effort the scientific community is taking to support us with this conference."
Rachel Kyte, Vice President of Sustainable Development at the World Bank: "Climate change risks grinding millions of people back into poverty. The scientists gathered at this conference can help us understand the effects and communicate them effectively. Reducing climate risks to the world's poorest people is an economic, social and moral imperative for those working in development, in fact for all of us."
Pavel Kabat, IIASA director and chief executive officer, and John Schellnhuber, director of PIK, participated in a press conference at the start of the conference.
Pavel Kabat, IIASA Director and Chief Executive Officer: "It is crucial to understand how climate change will impact our economies and societies, and this conference does just that, bringing together international and interdisciplinary researchers who are working from a systems perspective towards understanding climate impacts. Only through such an integrated approach can we produce useful information to guide policymakers in crafting effective solutions."
Chris Field, Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford and co-chair of IPCC Working Group II: "The work being discussed at the conference is important for the IPCC, the scientific community, and the world. Designing effective research on climate change impacts is one of the great scientific challenges of our era. The research is absolutely necessary as support for smart, informed decisions about dealing with climate change. But deeply useful research has been difficult to design, conduct, and evaluate. Some of the issues are conceptual. There are countless options for possible future worlds, and each has different implications for the consequences of climate change. Others are practical. Traditional impact studies are difficult to intercompare as a result of differences in scenario, climate model, averaging period, and a host of other issues. Still others are statistical. Few impact studies translate smoothly to risk, because the full range of possible outcomes is rarely explored. It is wonderful to see that these challenges have been directly tackled in the work to be discussed at Impacts World 2013 and especially in the ISI-MIP project. I look forward to seeing the results of the research and to thinking, along with all of you, about ways to build on it."
Cynthia Rosenzweig, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS): "The worldwide agricultural sector faces the significant challenge of increasing production to provide food security for a population projected to rise to 9 billion by mid-century while protecting the environment and the functioning of ecosystems. This challenge is compounded by the need to adapt to climate change by taking advantage of potential benefits and by minimizing the potentially negative impacts to agricultural production. The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) is a major international effort linking the climate, crop, and economic modeling communities with cutting-edge information technology to produce improved crop and economic models and the next generation of climate impact projections for the agricultural sector. I know that other sectors, and the scientists that investigate them, are confronted with similar issues. I welcome the opportunity of the Impacts World Conference to discuss these challenges, impart some lessons from AgMIP, and build collaborations."
Nigel Arnell, University of Reading, UK: "Some degree of climate change is now inevitable, and we need to adapt to changing weather regimes. In order to do this we need to know what the consequences and impacts of a changing climate may be – we need to know what impacts are likely, which are plausible, and which are not. We therefore need to be able to model the potential impacts of climate change, not only at the local scale, but also at the regional and global scales because many of our activities are internationalised: think of global supply chains. The Impacts World Conference provides an excellent opportunity for the impacts research community to get together to exchange information and ideas. I am particularly keen on seeing new developments in impact modeling, and in particular discussing how we can factor the uncertainty in impacts models into our assessments and adaptation decisions."

Cupcakes 'n Daisies: Poppie Update . . . .
Poppie Update . . . .
and how I determined that that particular technique was not for me.
I asked for suggestions for turning this mess into a masterpiece. Overwhelmingly, the response was "Go with a pinwheel pattern!".
I loved the idea, love a good pinwheel block, and have yet to make an entire quilt from pinwheels.
I thought my poppy fabric would be a good match for State Fair.
But between A la Mode taking longer, and the month of June just racing by, I did not get the chance to start on State Fair.
I think this is a better fit for my long abandoned poppy fabric. There's a little more going on with the pinwheel, plus I love the border!
The Dulcinea pinwheel block finishes at 6 inches, I'm thinking I may make mine a little larger...shocking I know!
But I can easily make a 9 inch finished block from the pieces I've already cut.
I'm not sure when this project will make it's way to the top of my To Do list, but it feels great to finally have a plan!
So thanks for your help!
If you've not done so, don't forget to leave a cupcake comment on my Sunday post, the deadline for entering to win the Fons & Porter Watermelon and Shoofly kit is Saturday.
I just know this will be a beauty, Thelma. Those poppies will make it sing!
I think it's a perfect plan. Enjoy!
Good for you for not abandoning the project and figuring out a new plan!
Awesome fabric! What a fun quilt...I can't wait see the project.
I love the Poppy fabrics and you are right... Dulinea is an even better match!
I didn't have a chance to even buy State Fair! I really loved that pattern the resulting quilts were just gorgeous! I have let my Schnibbles fall on the weiside like all my quilting this summer, but I will say that Dulcinea definitely has more substance to it. It has the pinwheel more defined and the border has alot more going on. I like it.
I loved those colors the first time you posted about them and I am happy to see you're all fixed up with a plan to use them.

I call Detroit, Michigan home. Though I didn't attend Detroit Public Schools (DPS) after kindergarten, I am still very aware and connected to the troubles and triumphs that happen in the school system because they affect my family, friends, and people who look like me and my students. Teachers held "sickouts" and students of DPS walked out to protest crumbling ceilings, raised floors, broken heating systems, and unwanted rodents. As a teacher in the Washington, D.C., school system, social justice is a core value of my classroom. So I knew it was imperative to integrate these protests.
We started our friendly letter-writing unit covering the purpose and components of a friendly letter. According to my young bright minds, we write friendly letters to "say nice things", "to encourage" so that we can "make people feel good".
I visited Newsela for the first time in hopes of finding an article that covered the protest and, to no surprise, the article was front page news. To an even bigger surprise and relief, it was available at each student's reading level. The article defined new vocabulary words and explained the issue in such a way that was manageable for my second-graders.
The next day, we read "Detroit teachers stage massive sickout protest over ailing conditions of schools". They first read the article silently and independently, underlining important facts and circling words that were foreign to them. My budding activists couldn't help but to react aloud. Loud gasps and sighs filled the room as they underlined facts about the crumbling ceilings and the rodent problem. After this first reading, they participated in small group discussions to share their reactions. Many were outraged at the deplorable conditions. "If we don't have to go to school like that, they shouldn't have to either! It isn't fair!" one student exclaimed.
We then watched a video of the teachers in Detroit protesting. Next, they reread the same article and filled out a graphic organizer with a partner. They made sure to highlight the "who", "what", "where", and "why". This eventually lead to a whole class discussion centered on the "why". Students were discussing who should be held responsible for these conditions. Most students held Gov. Rick Snyder accountable for this. Many of them were angry and upset because it was "unfair" to the students attending DPS.
The following day, I asked my students how they felt about writing letters to teachers in Detroit. Their faces lit up. I asked, "Why should we write them a letter anyway?" They told me that they thought it was important we tell them we support them. Over next the two days, my students wrote friendly letters to the Detroit Federation of Teachers. In the body of their letters, they introduced themselves, where they lived and went to school, what they had learned, how it made them feel, and why they supported the teachers.
I had never seen my students engaged for one of my lessons as they were in this lesson. Hands and heads were up. Most importantly, they were exercising their voices for social justice. At the end of this unit, not only did my students know how to effectively write a friendly letter, but they now understand why people protest, that people who look like them are being treated unfairly, and that they can contribute to the cause.
Since then, we have continued to use Newsela to discuss current events and brainstorm solutions to many social issues. When an article from Newsela is placed on their desks, my students know we mean business. Newsela is the bridge that connects my students to the world. And this is only the beginning.

Dubai Mall to be size of over fifty football fields
Mall will be part of the Burj Dubai complex that will boast the world's tallest tower and now the world's largest shopping mall
Emaar Properties has outlined plans to build a colossal nine million square foot shopping mall. The Dubai Mall project, scheduled for completion in November 2006, will form part of the Burj Dubai complex. "We are expecting an annual footfall of 35 million visitors in the first full year of business and an annualised growth in mall traffic of about 20 to 30%," says Ibrahim Al Hashimi, executive director, retail and leasing department, Emaar Properties. "Tourism is the engine driving Dubai's growth. We have a huge potential audience. Some 3.2 billion consumers armed with a collective GDP of US $18.3 trillion will be knocking on our door," he predicts. Dubai Mall complex will consist of a five million square foot mall, residential and retail amenities. According to Emaar, the mall itself, which will be the equivalent in size of 50 international class soccer pitches, making it the world's largest shopping mall. "Daring planning is needed to win the global luxury tourism industry over. The Dubai Mall and Burj Dubai make this possible," he adds. The mall will be situated along the waterfront of 4.3 million square foot artificial lake. The design includes an atrium and an aquarium of glass tunnels. Inside the mall there are provisional plans for the world's largest gold souk and a million square feet of fashion shops. A residential facility of 2.5 million square feet is also planned while additional retail space will total 1.5 million square feet. For the convenience of shoppers and visitors there will be 160 000 underground parking bays, and additional ground parking by lakeside slots. Emaar is hoping that Dubai Mall will further accelerate Dubai's efforts to become one of the shopping capitals of the world. Dubai's annual Shopping Festival has put the city, with over 40 shopping malls already, on the map. Partly as a result, Dubai welcomed over four million visitors last year. Approximately 15 million tourists are projected annually by the end of the decade. "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Vision 2010 master-plan puts tourism at the centre of Dubai's growth plan," comments Al Hashimi. "His recognition that Dubai, despite its two-thirds non-oil GDP, needs an infrastructure overhaul, and has set the tone for what we are trying to achieve," he adds.

Philip Hensher THE MITFORDS: LETTERS BETWEEN SIX SISTERS edited by Charlotte Mosley 4th Estate, £25, pp. 832, ISBN 9781841157900 © £20 (plus £2.45 p&p) 0870 429 6655 At the beginning, it was rather like a bizarre round of 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor'. Decca ran away to the Spanish civil war; Unity went to Munich and made friends with Hitler; Diana bolted with the founder of English Fascism and then went to prison; Pamela stayed at home; Debo ended up with Chatsworth; and Nancy wrote some very good books. The Mitford sisters' fame originated, mostly, in newspaper scandals of the 1930s, to the horror of their parents, who believed that a gentlewoman's name should appear in newspapers only twice, on her marriage and on her death. (According to Decca, Lady Redesdale grew to dread the sight of the words 'Peer's Daughter' in newsprint, as well she might.) They did unusually interesting things between them, and their lives often seem to reduce the passions of the 1930s to a disconcertingly human level. 'Poor sweet Fiihrer, he's having such a dreadful time,' Unity writes at one point. The ongoing general fascination with the six of them, which I happily admit to sharing, comes from the unforgettable image of Jessica and Unity in childhood dividing the schoolroom at Swinbrook with their different ideological territories, alternating Red Front choruses and the Horst Wessel Lied on the phonograph. There is, too, the inscrutable figure of Diana, who sometimes seems, by her much remarked beauty and alarming public utterances on the subject of Hitler right up to the end of her life, to hold the larger historical explanation of quite why it was that Fascism in England never got anywhere. Hitler thought that Mosley had made the mistake of importing the foreign-sounding `Blackshirts' and would have done better to call his movement the 'Ironsides'; he was probably right, but we can all be grateful for Mosley's mistake.
Other people ran away to the Spanish civil war; other people's husbands founded political parties of cranky extremism which led to nothing very much. Plenty of other scandals of the time have passed into the realm of the specialist and the archive; other once famous names only ring bells nowadays if they were associates of great figures, like Waugh's friend 'Baby' Jungman. The reason the Mitford sisters go on inspiring biographies and sustain our interest is that, in their own voices, they were wonderfully funny and original, and in more than one case, superb writers. Nancy's novels include two great ones, Love in a Cold Climate and The Pursuit of Love, beautifully transformed mythologies of the oddest of childhoods. Jessica's exceptional Hons and Rebels, unreliable though it is, is hardly on a lower level of literary ability; and occasional lively books on Chatsworth and snippets of published diary (see page 9) by the Duchess of Devonshire have suggested that, but for her having the busiest of lives, another vivid literary talent might have emerged from the family.
All the sisters were terrific correspondents, even Pamela, whose less eventful life tends to leave biographers insisting on her personal charm. The one brother, Tom, was not much of a correspondent, contributing nothing to this collection; the letters of his sisters to him, with perhaps less justification, have been omitted too. The letters collected here are only a small part of an enormous archive at Chatsworth — apart from anything else, the Duchess and Lady Mosley wrote to each other almost every day in the latter decades of the story. In this absorbing, funny and often very moving volume, six voices make themselves heard, as fresh as paint.
The world of the Mitfords was one of teases and fantasy, what Auden called verbal infighting honed in Protestant schoolrooms during long wet afternoons. The details of their famous childhoods have been told over and over, by them and by their biographers — the future Duchess imitating the expression on a chicken's face when laying an egg, the dirty songs translated into Decca and Unity's private language, Boudledidge, 'Brains for Breakfast', the Chub Fuddler and Farve's legendary rages. That doesn't form part of these letters; they only discuss them long afterwards, often disputing each others' published versions.
What does emerge with great force is the talent for teases and long-running private jokes. There is a habit of ridiculous nicknames, which sometimes taxes the reader — Decca and Nancy usually called each other Susan, for reasons beyond discovery. Overall, there is that unmistakable atmosphere of absurd, alluring fantasy. In the English way, no one and nothing was sacred even J. E Kennedy, a.k.a. 'Fat Friend'— once the joking started. 'I wore my pink dress & coat,' the Duchess writes of a trip with the Queen Mother to the Chelsea Flower show, "& rather rued the day, the evening rather, as NO FIRE at Cake's [the Queen Mother's] dump.' In 1938 Nancy writes to Unity in Munich with a song of her own invention: Rassenschande [race hatred] is my joylTisch tisch and a merry go roundlGemutlich is my hochgeboren boy...' and the news that I saw [Henry] Bernstein who remembered sitting next to you at Emerald's and saying 'I hate you, I don't know why' and you replied 'But I know why.'
Such teases on subjects we have learnt to treat solemnly are disconcerting now, and serious-minded people will no doubt deplore Deborah writing to Nancy in 1944 to ask: Do you listen to a German programme called D-Day Calling. It happens at 7.30 A.m. and 7.30 P.M. and there is a heavenly tune called 'Invasion', it's the signature tune and it's bliss.
The tease is at the heart of the Mitfords' barbed hilarity; it's quite noticeable that Diana, who doesn't seem to have the same taste for the cruel running joke as her sisters, emerges comparatively palely here. What seems clear is that the spirit of the tease led most of the sisters into acts of audacity and sometimes bravery. As Charlotte Mosley says, it was a classical Mitford tease when Jessica helped a black family to buy a house in an all-white Californian suburb, directly opposite a bigoted local district attorney. The sisters' frequent acts of perverse effrontery often seem to arise from this love of the tease: Jessica running off with the very cousin she had always been forbidden to meet, or Nancy's chilling letter to the authorities in the first days of the war, denouncing Diana as a subversive and effectively sending her to prison.
The sisters were never all in the same room after 1937, and several of them maintained 'non-speakers' for years on end; Diana and Jessica met only once after Jessica's elopement, at Nancy's deathbed, and there is only one post-war letter between them, though an unexpectedly affectionate one. Sometimes the distance between barbed teasing and near-hostility is not that great; Nancy's post-war relations with Diana seem always on the verge of open aggression. On the other hand, the sisters' relations with Pam are, generally, conducted on the level of an enormous joke about her make-do-and-mend obsessions and wildly detailed memory for menus, decades after the meals.When she writes to Deborah, of all people, offering the loan of 'a perfectly good cot'and some 'some perfectly good blankets' and some 'rather worn' sheets 'which have a few moth holes', the Duchess promptly underlined all the most pennypinching phrases and forwarded it to Lady Mosley.
Some feuds ran for years and were never properly resolved; some went on after the death of one party; others were brief but violent. At some points, it seems that Deborah is the only one to whom all the sisters are talking. Nevertheless, what emerges from this constantly interesting volume is the fact of love in spite of everything. Unity has always been the tantalising one in the Mitford story, very difficult to bring into focus. Everyone who knew her, even Jessica, insisted on her wonderful humanity and good humour, claims which have always been difficult to reconcile with her obsession with Hitler and inclusion, in the years before the war, in his Munich inner circle. (It's a curiosity that none of Hitler's biographers has anything to say about her; she was clearly in his company repeatedly in the late 1930s.) The Munich letters don't quite convey this; their girlish quality on this most horrible subject takes some swallowing. And yet, after the catastrophe, when she shot herself in the head on the outbreak of war and somehow survived, her brain-damaged personality asserts itself. She writes to Jessica, the sister to whom, on ideological grounds, she ought to have nothing to say. The odd, short, damaged letter is an expression of the triumph of love over difficulties: Darling Boud, When I got your letter, I nearly went off my head! You SEE, I had ached for you, because I do love you so much. Oh Boud, I have a Goat! The Fem gave her to me & I LOVE her. Oh Boud, I AM so sorry to be short, but will write again soon!
Nancy said at one uncharacteristically hopeful moment that sisters were what stood between one and 'life's cruel circumstances'. Jessica, on hearing this, observed that as far as she was concerned sisters were life's cruel circumstances, especially Nancy. Despite this, the Mitfords' story is one of love surviving most, if not all challenges, and the letters subside at the last into the unalloyed love and trust between the Duchess and Lady Mosley.
The story, as told through the letters, is a slightly odd one; it is much heavier on the years after 1960, when the sisters' concern was, understandably, largely over establishing correct versions of their history. Though their personalities carry on being highly entertaining, there is less at stake after the mid-1970s, and the interest slightly declines. After the great feuds of the 1970s about Unity's and Nancy's biographies, I wonder whether Jessica decided she had said what she had to say, and withdrew somewhat from correspondence. That can't be helped, but I think it was a mistake to limit the letters to those between the sisters. The letters from poor old Lady Redesdale to her daughters which are quoted in Mary S. Lovell's excellent group biography, The Mitford Girls, are vivid and telling, and those at least might have been plundered to good effect.
Nevertheless, it's a remarkable story of six remarkable personalities. I can't imagine that such a collection of letters between members of one family will ever emerge again, given the rise of text-messaging and e-mail. But then, there was always the stamp of uniqueness on everything these remarkable women set their minds to achieving.

Street money (also called walking-around money) is an American political tactic where local party officials are given legal cash handouts by an electoral candidate's campaign in exchange for the officials' support in turning out voters on election day.

Usage
The money given out to ward leaders and party foot soldiers can range from $10, $20 or $50 to as high as $400. Ward bosses in the city's poorer neighborhoods often use the money to offset the costs of gasoline and food for their volunteers. Although most well known in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, street money is also common in Chicago, Baltimore, Newark and Los Angeles. In Baltimore, the term "walk around money" means street money.

History
During the 1997 Camden, New Jersey City Council race, the Camden City Democratic Committee spent $10,765 to pay street workers $40 each to "get out the vote". Others have included Jon Corzine (whose campaign paid out $75 apiece to New Jersey party officials during his successful 2000 Senate bid), John Kerry (in Pennsylvania during the 2004 presidential election) and Robert A. Brady (during the 2002 U.S. House race).

After the 1993 New Jersey gubernatorial campaign, Republican Christine Todd Whitman's campaign manager Ed Rollins was accused of boasting that he had given $500,000 in street money to black churches in New Jersey in exchange for their keeping their congregation from voting for incumbent James Florio. Rollins later retracted his claims, saying that his comments were taken out of context. Subsequent investigations by the New Jersey Attorney General's Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation found no wrongdoing on Rollins' part, finding that his original claims were braggadocio.

During the 2008 Pennsylvania Democratic primary, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton refused to hand out street money, Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell commented that the unusual amount of interest in the race would bring people out in support of both candidates, street money or not. Rendell later remarked that the Clinton campaign had "barely enough [money] to communicate on basic media", much less for street money.

Or maybe, after all, it should begin on the plane, mid-air above those squares of damp green pasture as we moved away from London. That was more than five years ago now. It was there, as the first round of drinks was being served at last, that I read of the death of Udach' Kuqax*a'a'ch' in one of the many newspapers I had carried aboard in order to distract myself from other thoughts. During the final years of her life, so I discovered, the only conversations Udach' Kuqax*a'a'ch' was able to conduct in her own language took place in her dreams. She was the last living speaker of Eyak, an indigenous Alaskan language that had ceased to exist with her death, some six months earlier. In Eyak, her name had meant 'a sound that calls people from afar', although in English she was better known as Marie Smith Jones. There was a word in Eyak, apparently, Xuqu'liilx'aax'ch'kk'sh, which once meant 'Are you going to keep tickling me in the face in the same spot repeatedly?' Now it doesn't mean anything, I thought, and even if someone heard it spoken in a dream, they wouldn't understand.
At the time, I was sitting beside a Swiss architect to my left, whose name I can't remember, and to my right, closest to the window, a Brazilian woman called something like Uta, who, because of her cold, was wearing over her mouth one of those paper masks that became popular in Asia during the SARS epidemic, and years later, in Mexico, during the early weeks of swine flu. Above this, Uta had also attached a sleeping-mask so that her faceless head seemed to hang beside the window and startled me whenever I tried, in my sleeplessness during the innumerable hours that followed, to catch sight of Africa or Portugal floating in the sea far below.
Years later, I would return to Europe beside two other strangers — but not to what I was leaving behind, not to anything I would have been able to recognise then as my life. To be honest, the many times I have left somewhere by plane have become confused in my memory. The different moments of exaltation or grief or fatigue all intermingle now, just as the first smell of spring brings back all the other springs to overwhelm me. I remember leaving somewhere in China, for instance, and it seems appropriate, although I know this happened years later. It was the Chinese New Year. The fireworks had just begun. Beneath us the wide, darkened city was silently throwing up tiny fistfuls of light. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye, they seemed to be saying.
I suppose I should be careful then. Which mixture of emotion am I thinking of when I think of that journey home from London? Which fear or despair belongs to that moment, and which is a subsequent version, or just a story I have told myself? Which particular feeling of loss, I wonder, should I ascribe to those foodcourts at Heathrow, to those giant ornamental goldfish circling in their dreary pond at Changi? I see myself walking away from Alice through the long airport corridors, but Alice never came to the airport. She wished, she said, that she had never met me. I see her turn away from the terminal and walk out into the London rain, but it was not raining. And as I sit here in K., now, this gloomy little German town, in this tiny, frosted room, writing these words, it is always Alice who appears first in my mind, even though I remember thinking that nothing would ever supplant that strange reality, which was calling me home to Melbourne to see my father, who had suddenly begun to die.
I often recall that plane trip home. It comes at me out of the blue some days. I was twenty-seven years old, and I was no longer an artist, although I could not recall ever wanting to be anything else. I remember the smooth edge of the runway where a field of pale-green weeds suddenly fell away into the distance below us. I remember the feeling of dull vertigo, and I remember a wave of clear grief as the plane finally left the ground. It's rare, I suppose, that our lives are given such definition, are marked out as clearly as that, so that the part which is over tilts away, and another part — the future, for instance — begins. And because of that plane ride, because of what it's somehow come to represent, I think as I write this of a film I saw in an exhibition, not long after I got back to Melbourne. I had arranged to meet someone who was running late, and so I went into the gallery alone, fully prepared in the gloom to be disappointed, as I generally am by video art. The place was empty, and the muffled sound of competing soundtracks came from various sets of headphones as I walked amongst an array of small televisions and through the blue glare of various data-projections to a seat at random somewhere near the back of the room.
I sat down and watched something finish — something about water dripping into a bucket — and then a sort of documentary began, faded Super-8 footage of cyclists navigating the twisted streets of an otherwise empty-seeming city, in the 1970s, I think, while dogs wandered by, and ominous, unfashionable police or soldiers smoked cigarettes behind barbed-wire fences. This had once been Gorizia, I learnt, a city divided in accordance with the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947. On one side of the fence, the old city remained part of Italy, with its ancient castle high up on the hill, while the new city on the other side, Nova Gorica, was conceived and rebuilt over the following years in accordance with modern socialist ideals as a city of the future, a city without a need for history.
For sixty years, even after the collapse of Yugoslavia, when Nova Gorica became a part of the newly established state of Slovenia, the two cities faced one another across a dividing line patrolled by those officious border police. In 2007, when the dividing wall finally came down, a video artist called Anja Medved set up what she called a 'smugglers confessionary' in a decommissioned customs hut — a private booth sealed with a red-velvet curtain in which residents could recount in private, before a running camera, a story from their own experience of that strangely divided city, from that incomprehensible gap between two adjacent realities. One old man told of the way the border separated him from his father, who worked on the Italian side. As a small boy, he would visit the border with his mother and wave to his father across the dividing zone. Once, for his birthday, this old man recalled, his father wrapped something in a bundle and attempted to throw it across the stretch of no-man's-land that separated them. Unfortunately, it fell short. I almost fainted, the man said, I so very much wanted to pick up that parcel. The Yugoslav border guard observed them with suspicion, but the boy and his mother were too frightened to say anything. Then the guard went and picked up the package. He was probably taking a risk — it was probably against regulations to do such a thing — but, perhaps taking pity on them, the guard carried the parcel over and handed it to the boy. I unwrapped it, the man recalled. My father had given me a harmonica.
At Charles de Gaulle there are rabbits that scatter in the green gullies between the tarmac, but I remember in particular the green weeds moving in the shimmery air at Heathrow. And I remember sometime after that, in the cool, artificial gloom, the way the cabin was lit at intervals by the burning shape of a window, by a blast of sooty radiance whenever someone woke and lifted their plastic shade to peer outside. Below us in the sun, the black sea sparkled like a desert of salt. An old English woman in one of the middle aisles slept with her eyes open as if she might have been dead already, and the man behind us snored peacefully as we passed above places we would never visit — mountain communities locked deep in the oblivion of those valleys, a scattering of buildings shimmering like fragments of crushed shell. It was late afternoon wherever we were, and there was snow on the peaks and a hard light that divided up the rippling land into crevices of darkness. Only a few hours later, inconceivably, it had become the middle of the night. Beside me, Uta, who had lifted her eye mask, was watching a sitcom with the American actor Tim Allen, and I could hear the mutter of tiny voices and the distant sound of canned laughter coming from her headphones as we moved through a period of sky in which a full moon illuminated an unbroken field of endlessly repeated rose-shaped clouds. Manado. Kupang. Ambon. Kungim. What were these strange names hanging ambiguously above the televised map on the back of the seat in front of me? In my delirium for a second, it seemed as if my own language had been forgotten.

Industrial sites are a major source of air pollutants in global scale and optimizing their use and controlling their emission plays a major role general air quality. Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) are deployed to provide critical information based on gas emissions for process optimization and to comply with environmental legislation. Specific gases that are monitored depend on regional legislation and on the type of the industrial facility. Common gases include CO, CO2, SO2 with well-known adverse effects. The continuous emission monitoring system can consist of several instruments that are typically only for one specific gas, which lead to an expensive investment if there is several gases to be measured. Another option is to use e.g. an FTIR instrument measure several key components simultaneously.
Besides the aforementioned common gas components, there exist several other key gases that are often difficult to measure. One example is H2S, which for example is very difficult to detect with FTIR due to severe interference from other gas components and its weak "activity" in the infrared region. Ideal solutions for this kind of emission monitoring cases would be to integrate potentially several techniques e.g. FTIR and laser spectroscopy in one sensor. Gasera's patented cantilever technology provides an unique possibility to integrate FTIR or NDIR with laser sensors in one package sharing the same measurement cell thus enabling true multi-gas measurement with one system.
From the technical point of view, the continuous emission monitoring application is challenging due to high content of CO2 and moisture which cross interfere with other compounds. The cantilever technology has proven to be both very linear and very sensitive. The sensitivity allows use of very short optical path length which gives unbeatable linearity. The linearity of the cantilever technology allows single point calibrations for the gases effectively making the production of the analyzers more simple, and thus, reducing the cost of manufacturing. Also, the linearity will reduce the complexity of analysis, which will be seen as improvement in performance. Read more about GASERA ONE here.
