Why green economy is so important for Belarus
In Belarus, the country that suffered most from the effects of the Chornobyl disaster and is now struggling to undergo structural transformation of the economy, it is essential to ensure sustainable growth without increasing environmental risks.
"Supporting the Transition to a Green Economy in the Republic of Belarus"…
When a country develops with a focus on renewable sources of energy, sustainable transport, organic agriculture and other types of eco-innovation, this is usually referred to as a "green economy". Both technology and the cooperation of the authorities are required in order to implement this approach to development effectively.
This, in particular, was the focus of a major EU-funded project called "Supporting the Transition to a Green Economy in the Republic of Belarus" that was completed in December 2017. More than 23 pilot initiatives have been implemented across the country over three years. In this article, we look at some of the most interesting initiatives under the project.
Organic food that is grown according to all the necessary standards is becoming a new trend in the West. These products are more difficult to grow, more expensive, and require special machinery; that is why not all farmers are willing to take the risk to go organic. It is also necessary to go through a long certification procedure (this can take up to three years), which is rather costly for a farmer.
Nevertheless, farms in the towns of Ašmiany, Valožyn, Maladziečna and Smarhoń decided to take the risk. "More and more farmers are beginning to consider moving away from extensive agriculture and go organic. It may be more profitable. Besides, there is no need for so many expensive chemicals and other synthetic fertilizers", said Elena Ivasheuskaja, the manager of the pilot initiatives. "Farmers also understand that they don't burn the ground, so it stays healthy."
Thanks to the pilot initiative, the area under organic agriculture increased by 43 hectares. The selected farm has purchased special equipment to produce organic fertilizers, and has passed the necessary certification.
However, the farmers also face various challenges. "It is hard to work without governmental support. Until we have a specific law on organic agriculture, any manufacturer can say that all their produce is "organic", no qualifications or certificates are needed. The law will create a market for organic products, producers will understand why they need certification and will be able to export their products to neighbouring countries. Currently, anyone who has a cottage in the country can say that they produce organic products" explained Ivasheuskaja.
Despite all the difficulties, progressive farmers remain interested in organic farming. "We carried out educational activities and 50 farmers came to study. Everyone asked about our recommendations for organic farming. The strongest farms start going organic".
In cities full of concrete and asphalt and with a lack of space for trees and plants, people begin to grow plants on the roofs of the buildings. This not only makes for a beautiful development and a trendy place to chill out, but also acts as an energy efficient measure. These so-called 'green roofs' provide natural thermal insulation and collect rainwater so there is no need for a complex drainage system.

A high school in the town of Marjina Horka recently installed a green roof. "We had the desire to add greenery to the roof of the building for a long time. This eco-design, in general, is very popular now across the world. In addition to social, environmental and economic aspects, we pay attention to its educational aspects. We have developed a special programme in biology and ecology; students and teachers from around the district come to visit us", said Mikhail Dubovik, Chairman of the Public Association "Puchavicki kraj".

Throughout the year, this roof provides oxygen to 100 people, it absorbs dust and harmful gases from the environment, and in winter it provides passive thermal insulation. "In fact, we are the first to make an industrial building in Belarus 'green'; it was a big challenge for design organisations, state expert bodies and builders," explained Dubovik.
Paper production from recovered materials
It is now possible to buy office paper from recovered materials in Belarus. This initiative, with a budget of €860,000, was implemented at the 'Paper Mill' of Goznak in Barysaŭ.

"As a commercial enterprise, which receives no funding from the state, we're very interested in the expansion of the product range and improving economic efficiency", said Aliaksiej Kashyn, Deputy Chief Engineer at the paper mill. "We were interested in recycling waste paper for a long time, some time before we purchased simple equipment for those needs, but as soon as we learned about the EU initiative, we immediately filed an application."
As a result, after having installed Italian equipment, about 35% of pulp will be replaced with recycled paper. The reduction in raw material costs will be about €800,000 per year. We will be able to save a further €17,000 thanks to the energy efficiency of the new equipment purchased with EU support.
"Typically, waste paper is processed into low-quality wrapping paper. Our high-tech processes allow us to produce white paper", explained Kashyn.
Environmentally safe antifreeze
Coolants used by car owners are usually extremely toxic. If soil is exposed to antifreeze, then for a number of years nothing will grow there. Unexpectedly, "Gomelchimtorg" found a solution to the problem.
"At one of the meetings, the director put a bottle of cloudy liquid on the table and explained that this was a new environmentally friendly antifreeze, made using innovative technologies on the basis of a different component", said Jauhien Zujeu, Director of the institution "Promoting business development", who implemented the initiative.
"Our antifreeze is almost completely harmless. We even tested it by watering a shrub with the product and nothing happened; it continued to grow healthy. Normal antifreeze is poisonous to nature; however there are no strict requirements for its disposal", he explained.
In the framework of the project, new equipment has been bought for "Gomelchimtorg", new jobs have been created, and production volume at the first stage will be 1,000 tons per year.
"Actually, 1,000 tons is only the first step. We plan to increase production significantly, as we are seeing positive feedback. It's nice when people who know about our initiative are surprised that Belarus can develop such technological know-how."
Many such initiatives are local in their character, but the growing interest in developing green economy throughout the country is inspiring. Increasingly, green approaches appeal not just to NGOs, but to the private sector, and even state institutions are catching on to the trend. At the end of 2016, the National Action Plan on Green Economy Development till 2020 was adopted. Given this commitment and the EU support, it looks as the green approach will gradually start winning over old business methods in the country.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a GOP presidential hopeful, lashed out at President Barack Obama's stands on Afghanistan and Libya, FoxNews.com reported Friday.
Barbour made his remarks during a radio interview in Jackson, Miss.
"Since World War II, the world has looked to America for leadership, but we haven't provided leadership in this administration," Barbour said on The Gallo Show.
"In fact, the Obama administration's position has been to say, you know, we're just one the boys, so we're not going to try to be the leader. And we see that when you don't have strong leadership from the strongest country in the world, that everybody else scatters out and breaks up."
Barbour, who has been making appearances in early presidential primary states, questioned the goal of U.S. involvement in Libya.
"We have to be careful in my mind, about getting into nation building exercises: whether it's in Libya or somebody else, or somewhere else," he said.

UK Cinema Releases: Friday 2nd April 2010
NATIONAL RELEASES
Clash Of The Titans (Warner Bros.): A big budget remake of the 1981 film, loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus (Sam Worthington), who ventures on a dangerous mission to defeat the evil god Hades (Ralph Fiennes), before he can seize power from the all powerful Zeus (Liam Neeson) enslave earth. Directed by Louis Leterrier, it features lots of battles against creatures and demons and has been converted to 3D quite recently although it was shot on regular 2D cameras. Warner Bros will expect bad reviews but given the massive marketing push can expect a decent opening weekend before bad word of mouth spreads. [Empire Leicester Square & Nationwide / 12A]
How To Train Your Dragon (Paramount): The latest film from DreamWorks Animation is based on the 2003 book and is the mythical story of a young Viking named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who learns how to fight the dragons that plague his village by befriending and taming a smaller one. Featuring the voices of Gerard Butler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, and David Tennant. Directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the writing and visuals are very solid, whilst the 3D (especially in the flying sequences) achieves a pleasing sense of exhilaration. Decent reviews plus the Easter holiday weekend will mean a high family turnout and it will be a major surprise if this doesn't take the number one spot. [Vue West End & Nationwide / PG]
Kick-Ass (Universal): Perhaps the most interesting release of the week is this post-modern superhero film based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. It tells the story of teenager (Aaron Johnson) who decides to become a super-hero named Kick-Ass after purchasing a costume (even though he has no powers or training) and soon finds himself involved with a local gangster (Mark Strong); his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse); and a highly trained father and daughter vigilante duo (Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz). Directed by Matthew Vaughn, produced by Brad Pitt, and written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman, the film was independently financed – at a budget of $28 million dollars – and gleefully subverts the superhero genre whilst also paying homage to it. Internet fanboys will lap this up but whether it can break through to a mainstream audience is a big question. The violence (although comic in tone) and fruity language will likely alienate older audiences, but if it can hold its own in a very competitive weekend then it could turn out to be very profitable indeed. [Vue West End & Nationwide / 15] (Previews 26-28 March)
ALSO OUT
The Railway Children: 40th Anniversary (Optimum): A re-release for this charming 1970 adaptation of E Nesbit's enduring tale of three children (Jenny Agutter, Gary Warren and Sally Thomsett) ho move to a Yorkshire village and become entranced by the local railway line and make friends with the locals (such as Bernard Cribbins and William Mervyn). Written and directed by Lionel Jeffries, it is being presented on a newly restored digital print. [Key Cities / U]

Psycho (Universal): A re-release for the classic thriller from Alfred Hitchcock about a woman (Janet Leigh) who ends up at an isolated motel run by the enigmatic Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) [BFI Southbank & Key Cities / 15]
City Of War: The Story Of John Rabe (Metrodome Distribution): A drama starring Steve Buscemi in the real-life tale of a German businessman who saved more than 200,000 Chinese during the Nanjing massacre in 1937-38. [Empire Leicester Square / 15]

Godfried van Brabant, ook wel Godevaart van Brabant genoemd (Brussel, ? - Kortrijk, 11 juli 1302), Heer van Vierzon (1277-1302), Heer van Aarschot (1284-1302), was de derde zoon van Hendrik III van Brabant en Aleidis van Bourgondië.

Leven
Godfried trouwde in 1277 met Jeanne Isabelle van Vierzon, waardoor hij iure uxoris ("bij rechte van zijn echtgenote") Heer van Vierzon werd. Hij zou zowel politiek als militair zijn broer Jan I van Brabant, die na het aftreden van hun oudste broer Hendrik IV van Brabant hertog werd, bijstaan.

Reeds in 1280 en 1281 liet hij zich Graaf of Heer van Aarschot noemen, wat in 1283 tot een schikking met Jan, Heer van La Rivière, leidde over de aanspraken van beide heren in het Land van Aarschot. Godfried zou op 29 oktober 1284 uiteindelijk door zijn broer Jan I van Brabant officieel Aarschot als apanage krijgen.

Hij vocht in 1288 samen met zijn broer mee in de slag bij Woeringen, waarbij hij graaf Reinoud I van Gelre wist gevangen te nemen. In 1292 bemiddelde hij een vrede tussen Frankrijk en de Graaf van Vlaanderen.

Na de dood van zijn broer zou hij voor zijn  neef Jan II van Brabant de opstanden die toen opdoken de kop indrukken. In 1296 bemiddelde hij ook voor Brabant met de aartsbisschop van Keulen, Siegfried van Westerburg.

Hij ontving op 9 augustus 1299 van Paus Bonifatius VIII dispensatie voor zijn verloving met Elizabeth (Isabella) van Gelre, dochter van Reinoud I van Gelre.

In 1302, toen Vlaanderen in opstand kwam tegen koning Filips IV van Frankrijk, sloten Godfried en zijn enige zoon zich aan bij het Franse leger in de Guldensporenslag. Beiden werden gedood, samen met verscheidene andere ridders uit Brabant. Zijn goederen werden onder zijn vier getrouwde dochters verdeeld.

Huwelijk en kinderen
Hij had bij Jeanne Isabelle, dame van Vierzon (- 1296), één zoon en zes dochters:
 Jan van Brabant (1281–1302), gesneuveld in de Guldensporenslag, getrouwd met Maria van Mortagne.
 Maria van Brabant (-1332), getrouwd met Walram van Gulik (-1297), en vervolgens Robert van Beaumont.
 Alix van Brabant (-1315), in 1302 getrouwd met Jan III van Harcourt (-1329).
 Elisabeth (-1350), getrouwd met Gerard V van Gulik (-1328).
 Blanche (-1329), getrouwd met Jan Berthout (fr), Heer van Mechelen (-ca. 1304), en in 1307 getrouwd met  Jan I van Thouars (-1332).
 Marguerite, non in de benedictijnerabdij Saint Nicolas van Longchamps bij Parijs, gestorven na 1318

THIS WEEK ON ADMP: Another week and yet another post by our very own 'Iron Man' of the #Blockchain, ADMPer Madiou BaH of Sierra Leone and Guinea (Conakry).
Way beter than rapper 'Takeshi' #6ix9ine's, follow Madiou Bah's flow, poise and lyricism until the end of this post, to get a better understanding of his brain and how the 'Space ' or the 'crypto-space', could for ever, be affected.
First proviso: The Internet should be free and available to all humans, by any means or devices.
They believe in enhancing the life of the community they serve.
-Is it a dream or reality?
Since then, I have not stopped to meditate and to think how to get the answers to these questions. This became a new challenge in my life. Very curiously and anxiously, I began to do research, day and night, nonstop.
Although the Internet speed is very low in my country, I continued my adventure in an optimistic way by reading articles and watching tutorials on bitcoin to end my curiosity. Such was a big step in my professional life..
Bitcoin is a currency, like any other currency in the world, that is entirely virtuall. It's a fully digital virtual currency, usually very secure, and powered by its own users, with no middleman, through a peer-to-peer network.
With bitcoin, we can buy and sell all that we want — clothes, shoes, homes, cars, computers, etc. We can also convert bitcoin into local currency like ours the Guinean Franc, or local currency into bitcoin. It is not always 'easy' to access, but it is highly possible if you try it.
The 21st century brings a world of business, a world in which one lives with 7 billion people who communicate with each other through technology, and shall exchange tangible and intangible for the good operation of their businesses.
The world is connected by the wind and clouds that separate his land by the global Internet network. It becomes faster and more reliable to communicate, and to sell and buy from a distance. This is the reality that you and I know and use. It is not a dream or magic.
There is no doubt that, the current 'Financial bear market has been on a downward trend, throughout 2018.

Supreme Court Grants Trump Administration's Request to Reinstate Unnecessary Abortion Restrictions
Washington, DC—Yesterday the United States Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration's request to stay a nationwide injunction in Food and Drug Administration, et al., v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, et al., requiring patients seeking medication abortions to face unnecessary risks and expense during the public health emergency by traveling to in-person appointments just to pick up a pill and sign a form. The National Health Law Program (NHeLP) calls upon the incoming Biden Administration to permanently remove these unnecessary restrictions.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) places significant restrictions on the drug combination (mifepristone and misoprostol) that can safely and effectively end early pregnancies and treat early miscarriages. Patients can only receive medication abortions from specific certified providers and only in person. As a result, of more than 20,000 FDA-regulated drug products, mifepristone is the only one that can be administered at home, but that the FDA requires to be picked up in person.
Medication abortions are safe and effective and can be life-saving. People who seek abortions are more likely to work in essential jobs, have less access to health care, and face greater health risks. Half are low-income and many are people of color.
The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the burden placed on abortion access by the unnecessary rules related to medication abortion. While the federal government has urged health care providers to use telehealth whenever possible, it continues to defend extreme restrictions on mifepristone. They may be forced to travel by bus, train, or plane, and they subject themselves to the financial burdens of missing work, costly childcare (sixty percent of abortion patients are already parents), transportation, and lodging arrangements.
On July 13, 2020, a judge for the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted a preliminary injunction that ruled that the in-person dispensing requirements place an undue burden on patients' constitutional rights to abortion care and severely jeopardizes the health and economic stability of patients, their families, and clinic staff amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then, the National Health Law Program (NHeLP) has partnered with state legal services, reproductive justice, reproductive health, and reproductive rights advocates across the country to ensure that state Medicaid agencies are in compliance with that important injunction, strengthening access to safe, legal, and effective abortions for beneficiaries.
"As an organization that works to protect the right to health, we are extremely disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate these restrictions for individuals seeking abortion care," said NHeLP Senior Attorney Fabiola Carrión. "Research, including studies coming from the medical community and national institutions, have concluded that medication abortion is absolutely safe and can be offered safely at the patient's home. We implore the Biden Administration to permanently lift these restrictions and guarantee access to reproductive health care."
"The first anti-abortion decision of the post-Ginsburg Supreme Court will make abortion access difficult and potentially deadly amid a raging pandemic," said NHeLP Staff Attorney Madeline Morcelle. "The Supreme Court's choice to re-inflict the FDA's in-person dispensing and signature restrictions for mifepristone jeopardizes the lives of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, people with disabilities, and low-income communities, including Medicaid beneficiaries, across the country. We urge the Biden administration to take immediate action to not only lift these dangerous restrictions on an essential health care service during the Public Health Emergency, but end them for good."

Joseph A. McCartin Responds
Joseph A. McCartin ▪ Winter 2005
I am honored that Lance Compa and Sheldon Friedman took the time to formulate such thoughtful and generous responses to my essay. I admire their work, appreciate the breadth of experience they bring to bear, and share many of their concerns and hopes. But, in this limited space, I must focus instead on our points of disagreement, and on only the main ones at that.
Let me turn first to Lance Compa's insightful critique. Of course, Compa is right when he says that law matters, and I agree with his reading of the present flaws in our labor law. But he is overly optimistic when he contends that human rights arguments provide a "unifying force" that can help overcome those flaws. In fact, recent trends in union organization don't bear out his optimism: organizing successes have been all too rare since labor took up the human rights formulation. Indeed, even Compa himself notes that the human rights approach has been no panacea for labor. He cautions that labor's new appeals may not show results soon and admits that the concept of human rights is "still an abstraction for most workers." His is scarcely a ringing endorsement of the rights-based argument. Thus, it seems to me that the re-framing of the argument that I call for above is not unwarranted.
The divergence between Compa's views and mine may be attributable to our differing readings of U.S. labor history, which become clear in Compa's discussion of the Wagner Act. Compa's treatment of the NLRA is ontradictory. On the one hand, he argues that the act was erected on an economic foundation, "not a fundamental rights foundation," because "human rights were not developed enough in the 1930s to serve as a foundation for labor law." On the other hand, he suggests that "Congress could have based the law on fundamental rights under the First Amendment's promise of free speech and association" as well as on the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. Was a rights-based political culture developed enough to be useful in the 1930s or not? He seems of two minds on this. Yet it is not this contradiction that troubles me so much as Compa's understanding of the NLRA itself.
There were two reasons why the NLRA's framers did not pursue the rights-based approach that Compa wishes they had taken. First, the history of constitutional law prior to 1935 made the commerce clause the most credible basis for sustaining a national labor relations law in the view of Senator Robert Wagner, who was interested in an act that could withstand Supreme Court scrutiny (as the NLRA ultimately did by a narrow 5–4 margin). But second, and more important for the purposes of this discussion, Wagner did not adopt Compa's approach because the senator sought to promote collective bargaining and foster strong unions that could carry it out. Wagner and his staff understood that collective bargaining and freedom of association are not exactly the same things. Indeed, their a...

A Tale of Two Islands

A while back, I had the outrageous good fortune to be invited to spend a couple of weeks of my summer on the islands of Cape Cod. I just got back from the trip a few days ago, and I had the time of my life; I ate seafood every day and floated for hours in the ocean, drank bourbon cocktails with new and old friends and woke up each morning at sunrise, feeling healthy and (somehow) never hungover, ready to do it again.
I don't have a lot of pictures from my time on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard--I find it hard to pop out an iPhone when I'm enjoying a good conversation with a buddy or a plateful of lobster on the beach--but suffice it to say, it's one of the most idyllic places I've ever been, all boats and carousels and cotton-candy colored sunsets. Even on a cloudy day, it's flat-out difficult to take a picture on these islands that doesn't look like an incredible screen saver (see my photo on the right).
But there's one thing I didn't take a single picture of: all the damn cars.
Nantucket, in particular, is a traffic nightmare in high season. Only 14 miles across at its widest point, the island is home to a year round population of about 12,000, but that swells to 60,000 in the summer months. The most recent data available from 2007 suggests that when you factor in day trippers and vacationers like me, over 400,000 different people travel to the island over the summer months.
Guess how many of them bring their vehicles.
Source: Yesterday's Island
A staggering 43,046 vehicles were ferried to Nantucket in 2007 (and not necessarily from, at least not quickly, since many people stay for the summer.) The report I linked to above shows a 2.3% increase in vehicles ferried over from the mainland every year for decades, so if that pattern has continued, there are more than 50,000 vehicles traveling to Nantucket this year. The locals I stayed with told me that peak season ferry reservations for cars sell out quickly every year, and that securing one is something of a blood sport. It costs a flat $200-225, each way, to carry your vehicle to and from the island, depending on the make, model and weight. That price point isn't slowing anyone down; again, the locals I stayed with told me that it's common for whole families to bring a different vehicle for every driver.
The thing is, Nantucket is not built for cars--not by a long shot.
I spent hours happily tooling around their extensive network of protected bike paths, stopping now and then to ogle harpoons at the Whaling Museum or wade in the ocean. Their downtown has no surface parking lots by law. Big box stores (and even smaller-box chains like Walgreens and CVS) are similarly outlawed. Many of the narrow, one-way side streets don't even offer on-street spaces, though that doesn't prevent whole blocks of SUVs from parking halfway onto a sidewalk. A mix of stringent historic preservation standards, a robust historical tourism industry and careful, NIMBY-influenced planning has kept most of the parts of Nantucket that I saw downright car-hostile. It's a paradise of fine-grained urbanism and people-centered design.
And yet the cars keep coming.

Martha's Vineyard
On the other hand, Martha's Vineyard (MV) is a much larger island--there are six towns on it, compared to Nantucket's one--and its road network is a little more extensive. It's actually smaller than its sister island by pure square miles, but it feels bigger, with long roads winding their way to fishermen's villages and along distant cliffs, a robust and impressive bus service with incredibly helpful drivers who act like tour guides.
In the tourist town of Oak Bluffs, where I spent most of the MV leg of my trip, cars seemed to know how to handle pedestrians. While on Nantucket, many design signals that should suggest that this was a street built for people seemed to fail, the Vineyard drivers seemed to take stock, slow down, and chill out. Partly, of course, those signals were simply louder on the more populous island: Oak Bluffs has a whole village of technicolor gingerbread houses (formerly a Christian study camp) smack in the middle of downtown, segments of which aren't even paved and much of the rest of which is swarmed constantly by vacationing children playing ball in the shared courtyard.
But get out of the tourist trap cities and out on the road, and you'll experience something very different. The bike paths stop. The roads widen a touch, and the speed limits climb just a bit too high for the blind curves; 30 mph here, 35 mph there. I lost count of the number of times drivers tailgated me, honking for me to get back on a bike route that had abruptly ended 3 miles ago. There were no street lights after dark, and the bike rental shop hadn't given me a front or a rear light for my cruiser; clearly, after dark and beyond designated borders, this became an island for cars.

A Lack of Feedback
I found myself thinking a lot about feedback as I lay on the beach, listening to waves coming in and out. Nantucket could embrace the fact that they had an enormous and carefully protected asset--a downtown built before the introduction of the car--and actually limit the number of available vehicle spots on those ferries, or at least raise the price so drivers started limiting themselves. Without doing so, the only feedback available to drivers on the mainland who were considering whether or not to shell out $500 round trip to bring the Jeep was, quite literally, an ocean away.
Nantucket vacationers probably don't realize what an utter hellscape driving and parking in downtown Nantucket is until they've arrived and found themselves in the thick of it. By then, they'd probably insist on driving; they'd paid $500 to get the car there, after all. They better use it. Meanwhile, repeat vacationers might learn that the island isn't car-friendly on their first trip, but after that, it feels like a right of passage to fight down those brick-lined streets, and they probably can't imagine getting around the island another way. The lack of continuous feedback that we get from living in a place, rather than vacationing in it, could become its own obstacle.

On the other hand, if you're a mainlander planning a trip to Martha's Vineyard you'd take one look at a map and realize that you pretty much needed a vehicle to get around, at least if you ever planned on leaving the town where you happened to be staying. Outside of a triangular lollipop of bike routes that connects the three most touristy outposts, cyclists find themselves riding in the dark with a bunch of tipsy drivers, cruising around hillsides without any streetlights. You could take the bus, sure, but you might end up marooned on the Gay Head Cliffs for an hour waiting for the next one. To get from my Airbnb in Oak Bluffs to the fishing village that served the best mussels I've ever had in my life in Menemsha, it took 45 minutes of white-knuckling driving.
A lot of American metro areas are like Martha's Vineyard: sure, there might be a few cities here and there that seem like havens for pedestrians and cyclists, but without enough thought to how someone without a vehicle might navigate between those cities, those paradises don't mean much.
On the other hand, even the Nantuckets of the world aren't much better off; you can build a whole island that seems designed for people-scaled transport, but if there's no feedback mechanism before you board the ferry to tell tens of thousands of car owners that it won't be a great place to drive (and especially if that population is largely temporary), they'll probably feel compelled to force their will and drive anyway. Paradise will turn into a parking lot.
And I haven't even touched how Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard astronomically inflated real estate values and the island's stringent zoning and building codes have impacted their transportation problems, or the way that these issues particularly disadvantage the islands' enormous homeless and low income populations.
No city is an island
No city is an island, even if yours is literally at sea. The places we love are made by the choices we make and the feedback loops those choices create, whether we choose to listen to them or not. I came to urbanism as a bike advocate, convinced that if we just completed our streets, threw up a network of protected paths and changed all the laws to prioritize multimodal transportation that the world would be a better and safer place. But even if I somehow managed to turn my city into a Nantucket or an Oak Bluffs--all those protected routes and narrow shared streets and perfect, human-scaled design--that still doesn't mean I'd have built a strong town.
What I'd need to do would be far simpler and far harder. I'd need to stop building a fantasy island and start listening to and watching the world around me: the honk of a car who can't believe a cruiser bike is in the middle of the street, the desire lines that cut a quicker path to the beach, the silent signal that the price of the ferry is too damn low when it sells out in mere days, the unnatural spike in real estate values on a graph. When I trained myself to hear that feedback, maybe then I could start building a place where people could really thrive--and not just for the summer.

Can translation services help your company grow?
Translation services have played an important role in the international business for many years now. Due to globalisation, a growing number of business owners decides to approach foreign markets and customers based abroad, whether it's digitally or by a physical presence. Both Large companies as well as businesses from the SME sector are trying to take the full opportunity which lies in approaching international markets and with the help of translation services, it is now easier than ever.
Nonetheless, translating can be a stressful and time consuming process, especially if you do not have any previous experience in such assignments. This is when professional translation agencies come into play. Not only such agency will be able to accurately translate and localise your content, but will additionally be able to advise you which content you should translate it in the first place in order to minimise costs and increase revenue.
In fact, statistics show just how truly important professional translation services really are within the business environment. A study by the CSA shows that today over 25% of customers in the European Union regularly purchase goods from shops based abroad. However, over 56% of those consumers believe that the ability to obtain information in their own language is more important than price.
Translating your legal documents can be a key aspect of your international expansion. Documents such as patents, contracts, terms & conditions usually have a legally bounding power and therefore are extremely important during an international expansion.
Translating your marketing material, including leaflets, ads or even business cards can have a direct impact on your company's success abroad. As previously mentioned, a vast majority of consumers prefers to purchase goods/services if the information about it is available to them in their native language and with over 56% of people claiming that this is a factor more important than price, translating your marketing material really gains importance.
Website translation services could be considered as a part of marketing translations, nevertheless, it is so important that it deserves its own, separate mention. In many cases, your business website will be the very first point of contact between you and your customer. On average, it takes around 8 seconds for a visitor to make their mind up about a website, and therefore about your business. You must do whatever it takes to sway the visitors your way within that time-frame and hopefully turn them into customers. If the content on your website is not accessible in the visitor's native language, he or she may simply leave the website and find your competitor instead. This is a situation, which any business owner wants to avoid. Translating your website is important not only from the business point of view, but it is also substantial for branding. A company which offers their website in a number of languages, corresponding to their target markets, comes across more customer-friendly and professional, which can be extremely beneficial when approaching new, foreign markets and trying to establish its position abroad.
When it comes to translating your business material, you really want to ensure that it is of the highest possible quality. The only way to do this, is by working with a professional translation agency. This can be especially true, when translating your marketing or print material, such as brochures or website. A translation agency specialising in marketing translation services will not only accurately translate your content, but will also be able to carefully localise your message to ensure that it is socially appropriate in the market you wish to address.
Agencies specialising in marketing translations usually work with native speaking translators who understand not only the target language, but also other social and local customs such as religion, politics or history which can directly or indirectly impact the suitability of your marketing translation. These factors, although sometimes overlooked by business owners, can often be extremely important when expanding internationally.
As you can see, translation services are now an integral part of international business. If conducted correctly and with the help of a language agency, they can have a truly positive impact on your company. As the study showed, majority of consumers only purchases goods if they information is available to them in their native language, and therefore translating business content and material when approaching a new, foreign market is not an option, but a necessity for any successful business.

My Favorite R&B Artists, Vol. 5 | New Edition
Michael, Bobby, Ricky, Ronnie, Ralph and Johnny.
Those are the names synonymous with the best male R&B group ever.
Of course there's the Jackson 5, Dru Hill, Jodeci, Jagged Edge, -- and Boyz II Men, (who ironically was founded by a Michael and named after one of their hit songs), can lay legitimate claim to that distinctive honor. They have come and they have gone, but so many people remember who they are simply by the melodies they created that are all time. When you think of those slow songs that either put you in the mood or make you feel some type of way, they are the go to guys. And when it comes to the distinctive sounds of what an all male at should sound like, no one is touching them, at all.
There's so much to be said about their rise and their fall, but I'm not here to talk about that today. What I am here to talk about his how they impacted me and the way I listen to music. Long before there was Beyoncé, dancing and singing on stage like it was nothing, New Edition burst onto the scene, doing the same thing. In fact, in perhaps in my favorite music video outside of One More Chance Remix, was their music video for If It Isn't Love where they displayed just how awesome their choreography was.
There are a ton of songs I could rail off for you that these guys have made that has affected me in some form or fashion. To sit here and go over them all would literally take me a couple of thousand of words lol. But to cut myself short from doing so I want you guys to go to whatever music streaming service you have or buy the CD's from whatever website you can find them at and just listen to how they all connect with their voices and how they all feed off of each others energy. There are few groups ever to have that kind of synchronization with each other. They are legends in their own right and they ushered in that 90's R&B sound that everyone loves to hear so much.
Whether you love them or hate them, they are truly something special to hear.

A treasure trove of funk and soul from one heck of a great little label – Columbus, Ohio's short-lived Capsoul imprint – only around for 5 years in the 70s, but home to a great flurry of indie singles! We first caught onto the label's brilliance with their funky classics "Hot Grits" by Elijah & The Ebonies and "Sock It To Em Soul Brother" by Bill Moss – but as this set wonderfully demonstrates, the label's got a heck of a lot more to offer – and all of it great! The label's brilliance has been masterfully unearthed by the crate-digging team at Numero Records – who've brought together 20 of the best Capsoul singles in a beautiful package that really tells the story of the tiny imprint, getting at the details and struggles that faced independent soul in the marketplace of the 70s. Way more than just a set of old singles, the set's a rich document of indie soul in one of the near-forgotten corners of the Midwest – filled with great tunes that may well have you booking the next flight you can find to Columbus! Titles include "Sock It To Em Soul Brother" by Bill Moss, "Pure Soul" by Elijah & The Ebonies, "Without Love" by Ronnie Taylor, "You're All I Need To Make It" by Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum, & Durr, "Hot Grits" by Elijah & The Ebonies, "Too Far Gone" by Four Mints, "I Want To Be Ready" by Kook Blues, "Go On Fool" by Marion Black, and "Number One" by Bill Moss. Updated version features new mastering and additional notes – plus the bonus track "All I Need To Make It" by The Capsoul Group. © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.


My work focuses on the security of air-to-ground communications systems and protocols in use for aviation. It takes a long time to develop technologies used in civil aviation; once a product is built and tested, it has to be certified and integrated before it makes its way onto an aircraft. Since most of the systems in use today were not designed with security in mind - or before attacks became feasible - they have a wide install base but rarely have any security provision in place. Rolling out patches or upgrades is equally as difficult as deploying new systems, which means that security solutions have to avoid replacing the original system whilst still trying to fix the problem. This gap is roughly where my work sits.
I am part of the System Security Lab under Ivan Martinovic, which looks at a range of topics from biometric authentication to wireless security.
I am currently a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber Security, which is within the Computer Science Department. Before starting at Oxford, I did an Undergraduate Masters in Computer Science at the University of Warwick.


What are Mondays to you?
I frequent Facebook (a lot more than I should) and I'm often entertained by the fodder I find. (I totally just Googled "fodder" because I wanted to make sure I was using the word correctly). Don't get me wrong...there is tons of great material on Facebook: good news, pictures, proposals, new babies, recipes, praises, and yes - even prayer requests.
But you have to admit: Facebook can be a huge timesuck and very little value comes from it. This subject is a different post entirely, so I'll stick with the subject at hand: Mondays.
Sunday night, you are guaranteed to see more images like the first graphic. When Sunday starts feeling like Monday. Monday Eve. In short, miserable.
But on occasion, I will see graphics like the second one. I like seeing those.
Don't get me wrong. I don't like Mondays (and I don't love them, either). Mondays for me mean getting up early after sleeping in late(er) on the weekends. It means dressing in work clothes instead of lounging in PJs on a Sunday. It means facing any number of challenges that I have no way to prepare.
I like the idea of turning Monday on its ear and thinking about it in a different way. Monday is a chance at a new week. Many diets start on Monday. Many do-overs start on Monday, too. It's a chance to tackle that next project or set some new goals. And how many paper planner people (say that three times super fast!) love when the first day of the month begins on a Monday?
Mondays have their merit. Perhaps Monday gets a super bad rap? Friday is definitely the favorite child of the week. Monday is "meh".
I challenge you - I'm challenging me - to think about Mondays differently from now on. Think of one thing positive about Monday. Hey, to get you started - how many more Mondays until Christmas Eve? Or Fall Break?
Hey...I'm all about starting with the little things.

Troubled lender back from the brink
The firm has taken the broker channel by storm
Home Capital has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in the last few years, but it appears the Alt-A lender has reached greener pastures.
In fact, the Toronto-based lender is ahead of schedule. The company's CEO Yousry Bissada noted that since a buoyant third quarter in 2017, Home Capital is on pace to fully recover at some point this year.
"It's been improving since the third quarter," Bissada told Mortgagebrokernews.ca. "We were declining over 70% in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter it was 60%, and our normal number for Alt-A business has historically been around 50%, so I think we're going to get to that number in one of the quarters in 2018. We think we'll get there in 2018, and I'm quite confident we will."
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions' latest Guideline B-20 stipulations threw an additional spanner in the works, but the company's principal subsidiary Home Trust has undertaken an education program for its broker partners.
"Everybody is relearning what they can and can't do, so there's a larger portion of business that Alt-A lenders can't do," said Bissada. "Part of it is Home is doing is a lot of push to educate brokers on what mortgages fit our suite so that we have a higher chance of business being sent to us that will stay.
"Our BDMs are going to communicate what B-20 means. Many brokers are very familiar with it, but they're communicating what B-20 means and what it means specifically for Home. There are brokers who deal with Alt-A quite regularly and are comfortable with it, and some brokers who deal with it as an exception and it's not their main core business, so the more we can communicate what we want before sending, the more the probability of getting approved."
Among Home Trust's most popular product suites are Alternative A for immigrants, the self-employed, and people with bruised credit, as well as the "Accelerator" for A business.
"It's a completely different year. We're back in business; we're full-out with our product offerings to mortgage brokers on the single-family residential side. We're full-out on our commercial mortgages; as well, we have some retail products and credit cards. Summarizing it, we're back in business compared to 2017, where we were stopped for a large part of the year. It's only three months into the year, but it's business as usual. We're in this new environment of B-20, dealing with it like every other Alternative A lender has to deal with it. But we think it's going to be a good year for us."
Ron Butler of Butler Mortgage can attest to Home Capital miraculous, if quick, turnaround.
"Obviously, they went through a crisis, but every single mortgage that we've submitted they underwrote," said Butler. "They went through a difficult time and they have come out of it much faster, and more efficiently, than I would have ever believed. This has been one of the most stunning turnarounds I've ever seen in business—it's very difficult to pull back from the brink like they did."

Two town hall meetings have been set to gather public input on a planned organics recycling program in Costa Mesa.
Ratepayers with the Costa Mesa Sanitary District currently put all their trash — including green waste and recyclables — into a single bin, giving them the relative luxury of not having to sort their items.
Under the proposed $504,679 program with CR&R; Environmental Services, district ratepayers would have to sort out organics — including food scraps and gardening waste — and place them in a separate bin.
The organics would be picked up the same a day as the trash and recyclables, but by a different truck.
The meetings are at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. Jan. 11. Both sessions are in the Neighborhood Community Center, 1845 Park Ave., Costa Mesa.
The program is undergoing an environmental review, which the district's board unanimously approved Nov. 21. How trash rates might be affected hasn't been determined.
However, using a roughly $4-million district fund for the organics program could keep rates stable for about five years.
District officials say the program is needed to fulfill a zero-waste goal and reduce what's sent to landfills. CR&R; plans to take the collected organics to a facility in Perris that is still under construction. There, the matter would be converted into renewable natural gas.

NQIT Researchers at the University of Oxford have achieved a quantum logic gate with record-breaking 99.9% precision, reaching the benchmark required theoretically to build a quantum computer.
The team achieved the logic gate, which places two atoms in a state of quantum entanglement and is the fundamental building block of quantum computing, with a precision (or fidelity) substantially greater than the previous world record. Quantum entanglement – a phenomenon described by Einstein as 'spooky', but which is at the heart of quantum technologies – occurs when two particles stay connected, such that an action on one affects the other, even when they are separated by great distances.
The research, carried out by scientists from the EPSRC's Networked Quantum Information Technologies (NQIT) Hub, which is led by Oxford, is reported in the journalPhysical Review Letters.
Dr. Chris Ballance, Research Fellow at Magdalen College and lead author of the paper, said: 'The development of a "quantum computer" is one of the outstanding technological challenges of the 21st century. A quantum computer is a machine that processes information according to the rules of quantum physics, which govern the behaviour of microscopic particles at the scale of atoms and smaller.
Quantum technology is a complex area, but one analogy that has been used to explain the concept of quantum computing is that it is like being able to read all of the books in a library at the same time, whereas conventional computing is like having to read them one after another. This may be over-simplistic, but it is useful in conveying the way in which quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise the field.
Professor David Lucas, of Oxford's Department of Physics and Balliol College, and a co-author of the paper, said: 'The concept of "quantum entanglement" is fundamental to quantum computing and describes a situation where two quantum objects - in our case, two individual atoms - share a joint quantum state. That means, for example, that measuring a property of one of the atoms tells you something about the other.
'A quantum logic gate is an operation which can take two independent atoms and put them into this special entangled state. The precision of the gate is a measure of how well this works: in our case, 99.9% precision means that, on average, 999 times out of 1,000 we will have generated the entangled state correctly, and one time out of 1,000 something went wrong.
Professor Lucas added: 'Achieving a logic gate with 99.9% precision is another important milestone on the road to developing a quantum computer. A quantum logic gate on its own does not constitute a quantum computer, but you can't build the computer without them.
The method used by the Oxford team was invented at NIST in Boulder, USA, and in a paper published alongside Oxford's in Physical Review Letters, the NIST team also reports the achievement of 99.9% precision.
The Oxford research was funded by the U.K. Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council as part of the U.K. National Quantum Technologies Programme, and by the U.S. Army Research Office (ref. W911NF-14-1-0217).

'Game-changing' Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine arrives in Wales with 40,000 doses due in first fortnight
The AstraZeneca vaccine will be much easier to use in community settings as it can be stored and transported more easily than the existing Pfizer/BioNTech jab

The second coronavirus vaccine approved for use in the UK is being rolled out across Wales from Monday.
At least 40,000 doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab will be available within the first two weeks, according to the Welsh Government. Two injections are required and vulnerable people in the community will be prioritised for the first dose.
On Saturday the first batches of the newly-approved jab were delivered to hospitals in the UK just days after its use was officially approved by regulators.
On December 30 the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) authorised the AstraZeneca vaccine as safe and effective following clinical trials.
That was just three weeks after the first coronavirus vaccine, produced by Pfizer/BioNTech, was approved for use across the UK.
The Welsh Government and NHS Wales have been preparing for the vaccinations' approvals and delivery since June.
The UK Government has procured vaccines on behalf of the four nations and around 100million of these are of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has until now been known as the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab. Wales will receive its allocation based on a population share basis over the coming weeks and months.
Two doses will be needed with an interval of between four and 12 weeks between doses. This is a change from previous advice for both vaccines of a four-week gap between doses as the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has recommended that as many people as possible in the top priority groups should sequentially be offered a first vaccine dose first.
The recommendation to prioritise the first dose will allow protection to more people in the priority groups at a time when coronavirus is still spreading in Wales. On Sunday another 4,011 new cases of Covid-19 were announced in Wales along with another 56 deaths.
Use this tool to track latest case data where you live:
Based on a UK-wide priority system the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine has already begun to be administered to frontline health and social care staff, as well as care home residents and staff and people aged over 80 and the AstraZeneca vaccine will enable more doses to be given.
The latest figures – correct to the end of Saturday, December 27 – show more than 35,000 people in Wales received their first dose of the vaccine in the first three weeks of the immunisation programme.
Every health board in Wales will receive an allocation of doses in proportion to the size of its priority population and ability to deliver as outlined by the JCVI's prioritisation list.
The senior responsible officer for Wales' Covid-19 vaccine programme, Dr Gillian Richardson, said: "It is fantastic news that there is now a second vaccine to help protect our communities' most vulnerable from the harms of Covid-19.
"Pace will be governed by supply, which will start slowly this week but build vastly over the coming weeks and months. However vaccinations are happening in GP surgeries from today and we will also see an increase in our vaccination centres over the course of this month."

The major chains which have been wiped out in the past year
Unlike the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine the AstraZeneca vaccine is stored at normal vaccine fridge temperatures which reduces storage and transportation issues and makes it much easier to use in community settings such as care homes and primary care settings like GP surgeries
People should not phone their GP, pharmacy, or hospital asking when they will get a vaccine, a Welsh Government spokesman said.
When someone is in one of the groups eligible for the vaccine they will be invited to attend a dedicated clinic which will have been set up to ensure patient safety and that of the healthcare professionals.
Correspondence will come from local health boards and the vaccine is free of charge through the NHS. People are warned to be alert to scams asking for money or personal information.
Health minister Vaughan Gething said: "Today marks a key milestone in our fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. The rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been called a 'game-changer' and this is true – its potential should not be underestimated.
"In less than a month Wales' NHS has mobilised the largest vaccination programme our country has ever seen and so far more than 35,000 people have received their first dose.
"Now, only five days since regulatory approval of the new vaccine for use in the UK, a second vaccine is here and ready for use, significantly adding to Wales' defences in the face of coronavirus and protecting our most vulnerable."
It has, however, been warned that while the new vaccine means a much wider rollout is possible the impact of immunisations won't be seen for months. Wales will receive doses based on a population share and a top medical adviser has said dentists and optometrists could be part of an effort to administer it as quickly as possible.

EtymologyEdit
Naic, Cavite is one of the former barrios of Maragondon, along with 1) Magallanes (named after Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who was recognized as the first world circumnavigator, after reaching the Philippines under the Spanish Flag); 2) Bailen (named after a town in Spain wherefrom the Friar Baltazar Narváez came, but renamed and now, General Emilio Aguinaldo, after the first President of the First Philippine Republic; 3) Tagaytay City, a former part of Alfonso; 4) Alfonso, (named after the King Alfonso who ascended the throne as a youngster, after his mother, a child Queen abdicated—after being enthroned by a General -later Count- Narváez); and 5) Ternate (a town with three names, Ternate, Wawa, Barra. Ternate was the name of the home in Mollucas of the settlers who were sent by the Dutch and Portuguese to the Philippines to fight the Chinese Pirates; Wawa was the name for this Shores-rich little site; Barra was the name given for this "Docking Place or Site" of Maragondon.)
Better spelled NAIC as an acronym-for Nuestra Adorada (or Amable or Amante) Inmaculada Concepción, Spanish for Our Adorable (or Amiable or Loving) Immaculate Conception, referring to the Patroness of the then barrio, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, whose feast the barrio celebrated (and the town continues to celebrate) on December 8.[5]
Naic has several histories when it comes to the origin of its name. One theory suggests that it originated when a Spaniard asked a native about what the pig is doing and he said "na-igik" (crying sound of pigs), thus later on developed as Naic. Another one suggests that it came from a Spanish word "Ca - Naic" meaning "neighboring place" by which its mother town was the present Maragondon. Another theory put forward is that Naic is an acronym for Nuestra Adorada Immaculada Concepcion. The town's name is the Spanish translation of the town's patron saint, Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion. As an honor and reverence to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the town folks celebrate annually their town fiesta on every 8th day of December.
Thousands of years ago, Naic was a part of the towering Mt. Taal. Naic was the western slope of the volcano until its internal eruption which led to the sinking of its apex in its present condition.
When the Jesuits discovered Maragondon in 1627, its total land area covers the whole of Naic, Ternate, and Magallanes (Vance; Saulo and De Ocampo, 1990; Medina, 1992). In 1758, the Jesuits founded a community in the western bank of the river (present Barangay Muzon) and made it into a "sitio" with a visita still under Maragondon.
In 1791, the community was finally made into a town with its population still in the western bank. The town was named Naic after the old archaic word "can(ia)ayic" meaning "town near one another" or "the other side" (Medina, 1992), while Alfredo B. Saulo contends that Naic is a highly cultured Tagalog word meaning "suburbs" or "countryside". Also in Malaysia, Naic means "overboard".
Moreover, due to the closeness of Naic to the population in Maragondon, Naic transferred its center in 1798 to the eastern bank of the river (the present poblacion)(Medina, 1992). Also during this time, the town was already a flourishing fishing and agricultural village (Villanueva, 1982). On the other hand, the church, since 1797, was under the secular clergy who were mostly Filipinos (Jose, 1997; Medina, 1992). Upon the "Royal Audiencia" issued in 1849, the church was transferred to the Dominican Friars in 1865. The Dominicans upon finding out that the land in Naic was fertile, built the Casa Hacienda de Naic (the present Naic Elementary School) to be the administration building for the overseer of the larger friar lands in Naic (Jose, 1996).
In the Philippine Revolution of 1896-1898, all the names of the towns in Cavite were filipinized, thus, the name of Naic was changed to "Maguagi". Furthermore, five events significant to the revolution took place in Naic. These were as follows:
1. The designing of the first official flag of the country which took place in Sulok, Naic, Cavite (the present Velamart).
2. The creation of the Naic Military Agreement, a document by which Andres Bonifacio sought to assert his authority as leader of the Philippine revolutionary government in defiance of Emilio Aguinaldo's government initiated in Tejeros (Casa Hacienda de Naic).
3. The appointment of the first cabinet ministers including the Departments of Interior, Justice, Finance, and Defence (Casa Hacienda de Naic).
4. The Battle of Timalan where the Filipino revolutionists won overwhelmingly against the Spanish troops (Timalan, Naic Cavite).
5. The Battle of Naic where Aguinaldo declared the town to be his last defense (Poblation) (Medina, 1996, de Achutegui, 1972; Aguinaldo, 1964; T.A. Agoncillo, 1963).
The prominent people who paved the way for the revolution in Naic included former gobernadorcillos and capitanes municipal; namely, Cirilo Arenas, Gregorio (Goyo) Jocson, in whose house General Aguinaldo recuperated from illness, Benito Poblete, and Tobal Bustamante.[6]
A sprinkling of upperclassmen could also be found in other towns of Cavite whose wealth came from rural landholdings, urban properties, and/or successful business ventures. The Cuencas of Bacoor, the Papa, De Castro, Valentin, and Arenas families of Naic, the Darwins of Indang, who were/are Spanish nobilities and margraves with ranks of Duques, Marquis, Condes and Vizcondes, pertained to this class.[7]
Naic is also the very first town in the country to pass an ordinance banning pigs from the street. It had been a perennial problem of the country. It is one of the greatest achievement of Naic because the other towns followed suit.
The municipality of Naic is located on the western part of the province along the shorelines of Manila Bay. Trece Martires City and Tanza bound it to the east. Situated beyond the southern portion of Naic is Indang and the western boundary is shared with Ternate and Maragondon. Travel between Naic and Metro Manila covers 47 Kilometers. Majority of the upland towns and some of those in lowlands trade with Naic due to its strategic geographical position. The coordinates of Naic are 14°32 latitude and 120°768 longitude.

In the 2015 census, the population of Naic, was 111,454 people,[3] with a density of 1,500 inhabitants per square kilometre or 3,900 inhabitants per square mile.
It is the 9th most populous and the 14th most densely populated municipality/city in the province. The massive increase can be observed in the year 1990 when industrialization was introduced in the Province of Cavite (including Naic). Investors established their businesses in different industrial estates that magnetized people to migrate to Cavite due to job opportunities the province offers. Another factor attributed to the increase of population is the mushrooming of housing subdivisions (such as Belmont Homes in Palangue and Dorothea Homes in both Halang and Calubcob). Natural increase also contributes to the increase in population. The population density of the municipality based on the 2015 census was 1,500 inhabitants per square kilometre or 3,800 inhabitants per square mile.
Among the barangays in Naic, Barangay Ibayo Silangan has the biggest population with 11,250 people while Barangay Balsahan has registered the smallest population with 478 people.
The population of Naic have grown from the past few years. In 1990 the recorded population count by the Philippine Statistics Authority is about 52,000, about 73,000 in year 2000 (which increased by 3.45%), 87,058 is recorded in 2007 (2.46% increase), about 88,000 in 2010 (0.39% increase) and 111,454 in 2015 (increased by 4.60%).
LanguagesEdit
The vernacular language is Filipino, based mostly on the Tagalog of surrounding areas, and this Tagalog form used is the Manila form of spoken Tagalog which essentially become the lingua franca of the Philippines, having spread throughout the archipelago through mass media and entertainment. English is the language most widely used in education and business.
ReligionEdit
The Catholic population of Naic is primarily served by the Diocesan Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Church.
More so, Iglesia Ni Cristo became a popular religion which has its respective locales in Naic, Bancaan, Labac, Muzon, Malainen Luma, Halang, Palangue, Munting Mapino, and Timalan (J.F. Fel Rosario).
