Oxford launches new principles for credible carbon offsetting
By India Education Diary Bureau Admin On Sep 30, 2020
Carbon offsetting is a widespread tool in efforts to achieve net zero emissions. But current approaches to offsetting are unlikely to deliver the types of offsets needed to achieve global climate goals. Net zero pledges from many companies, such as those recently from BP and Google, and the recent 2060 "carbon neutrality" pledge from China are likely to use offsets. But what types of offsets are acceptable and under what conditions should they be used? Launched today, The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting (or 'The Oxford Offsetting Principles'), provide guidelines to help ensure offsetting actually helps to achieve a net zero society.
Carbon offsetting, if done properly, can contribute to net zero strategies, especially in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as aviation and agriculture. However, offsetting, if not done well, can result in greenwashing and create negative unintended impacts for people and the environment.
There are four key elements to credible net zero aligned offsetting, according to the multidisciplinary team from the University of Oxford:
Prioritise reducing your own emissions first, ensure the environmental integrity of any offsets used, and disclose how offsets are used.
Shift offsetting towards carbon removal, where offsets directly remove carbon from the atmosphere;
Shift offsetting towards long-lived storage, which removes carbon from the atmosphere permanently or almost permanently; and
Support for the development of a market for net zero aligned offsets.
The report also highlights the need for a credible approach to nature-based carbon offsets, such as forest restoration.
The authors hope The Oxford Offsetting Principles will provide a key resource for the design and delivery of rigorous voluntary net zero commitments by government, cities and companies, and help to align work on credible offsetting around the world.
Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and co-author said, 'Adopting the Oxford Offsetting Principles and publicising their adoption can create the demand for offsets necessary to reach net zero emissions. Creating demand for long-lived greenhouse gas removal and storage is vital, whether we like it or not, to reaching the Paris goals.'
Dr Fredi Otto, Associate Professor and Associate Director of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford and co-author said, 'Most offsets available today are emission reductions, which are necessary but will not get and crucially keep us at net zero. We need carbon removals that scrub carbon directly from the atmosphere to counteract ongoing emissions.'
Professor Nathalie Seddon, Director of the Nature-based Solutions Initiative at the University of Oxford and co-author said, 'High-quality nature-based offsets support biodiversity and enhance adaptation to climate-change whilst safeguarding the incomes and rights of local communities. Irrespective of any carbon benefits, scaling up the protection and restoration of ecosystems is vital. While carbon offsets can help to fund some of this work, nature-based solutions should be valued and funded for the broad suite of benefits they bring, now and into the future. However, nature-based solutions are not an alternative to geological storage and rapid decarbonisation of the economy.'
Professor Yadvinder Malhi FRS, Professor of Ecosystems Science at the University of Oxford and co-author said, 'Ecosystem restoration activities such as reforestation can make a limited but significant contribution to addressing the immediate goals of limiting peak global temperatures in the next few decades while providing many biodiversity benefits, but in the longer term these carbon stores are at risk of reversal if ecosystems are degraded. Offsetting needs to take account of this risk of reversal.'
Professor Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science at the University of Oxford and co-author said, 'In the end, offsetting schemes need to recognise that the only way to compensate for the impact of pulling carbon out of rocks is to put it back. We need eventually to move to 100% long-lived storage of carbon dioxide if we are to continue using fossil fuels through the transition to a net zero world.'
Dr Ben Caldecott, Lombard Odier Associate Professor of Sustainable Finance at the University of Oxford, COP26 Strategy Advisor for Finance, and co-author said, 'Observing the Oxford Offsetting Principles will help ensure that users avoid buying low-quality offsets and that their decarbonisation plans are compatible with achieving net zero. The Oxford Offsetting Principles can be used by financial institutions to design and deliver credible plans for achieving net zero. Financial institutions can also assess the plans of investees and borrowers. This can inform risk and impact analysis, as well as engagement and stewardship activities.'
Dr Thomas Hale, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Oxford and co-author said, 'A wide range of voluntary and regulatory standards currently govern both approaches to offsetting and how net zero is defined. Actors adopting the Principles should work to ensure that such regulations and standards evolve to reflect a science-based approach to offsetting and net zero.'
Dr Stephen Smith, Project Manager, Greenhouse Gas Removal Hub and co-author said, 'Countries, cities and companies should definitely prioritise shrinking own carbon footprint, as these Principles make clear. But financing further efforts elsewhere, done well, can help too. The Oxford Offsetting Principles set out a direction of travel to make offsets part of the solution to end global warming.'

We are pleased to announce that there will be yet again a Jamboree On The Air station at Crosland Hill.
As usual, the Denby Dale amateur Radio Club will provide the equipment and expertise.
The event will be held on Saturday 21st and Sunday22nd October.
Not only will there be Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers from Crosland Hill taking part but also Scouts from all over Huddersfield.
Additional information is available on the JOTA organizer's web pages.
What is Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) ????
Since 1958 when the first jamboree-on-the-Air was held, thousands of Scouts and Guides have "met" each other through this event. Not only is it fun to talk to Scouts from other parts of the world but it provides also a chance to find out about other countries and about Scouting elsewhere. Many contacts made during the JOTA have resulted in penpals and links between scout troops that have lasted for many years.
The world--wide Jamboree-On-The-Air is organized to coincide with the third full weekend of October each year. The event starts at 00.00 hours local time on the Saturday and concludes 48 hours later at 24.00 hours local time on the Sunday. Each station can choose its own operating hours within this period.

What Back-To-School Shopping Looks Like This Year
by Laurie Sullivan @lauriesullivan, July 30, 2020
Back-to-school (BTS) shopping already looks different this year. Consumers have delayed BTS purchases. With continued stay-in-place orders in place across the country, some young adults and parents are waiting to learn whether anyone will head back to classrooms this fall.
Recent data from AspireIQ and Fullscreen identifies interesting trends that can help marketers regroup to plan campaign and media buys.
Both companies point to a delay in consumers shopping for school clothes and supplies, and the number of BTS campaigns that fell this year, with AspireIQ noting a 93% decline between June 1 and July 22, compared with the same period last year.
"The data shows parents and kids are thinking about starting to shop for back to school in August," said Amelia Rance, senior director of data strategy and analytics at Fullscreen. "Everything is a little pushed back."
Data from Fullscreen shows parents and students plan to start shopping for back-to-school at slightly different times. Some 51% of parents have thought about shopping, while 52% of students have not. About 17% of students say they will not do any back-to-school shopping, compared with 7% of parents. Parents at 63%, and students at 55% plan to do shopping in August.
Research from Fullscreen analyzed buying behavior from parents and students. The company's analysts surveyed a panel of more than four hundred 18 -to-36-year-olds, including 134 college students, to determine their behaviors, habits and emotions when it comes to coping with COVID-19 and going back to school in the fall.
Planned spending also differs. The majority of parents and students expect to spend the same amount as before, but 37% of students expect to spend less, compared with 17% of parents.
While 82% of respondents said they have gone on shopping sprees for BTS buying in the past, the groups show different opinions on the idea for this year. Some 47% of students plan to repeat their buying sprees, with 45% of parents will not repeat.
The groups expect different needs this year. Most students do not expect to buy something they haven't bought in the past, compared with 53% of parents who do expect to buy thing based on a new need for their children.
Parents are more likely to purchase across all categories—new tech, home school setups, and hygiene — leaning most heavily toward hygiene supplies.
Students lean more toward buying new tech. Respondents, not surprisingly, plan to do 73% of their shopping online — broken down it look like 70% of parents and 81% of students.
It hasn't stopped consumers from searching online. Consumers are searching for BTS campaigns at a 300% higher rate this year than last year. While COVID has caused a delay, AspireIQ expects to see a spike in BTS campaigns in August and September.
AspireIQ, which surveyed 120 consumers and 160 influencers, then compared responses with internal brand data to understand how the pandemic is impacting consumer purchase behavior around BTS found consumer interest and priorities have shifted causing brands to switch-up campaigns and messages.
Last year consumers bought outfits and dorm décor to prepare for their days at school, for example. This year it's all about school supplies for in-home classrooms, tips for parents who are homeschooling, and safety tips for those returning to campus.
Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest continue to be the most popular platforms for reaching consumers around BTS, but 2.7-times more influencers are also posting to TikTok this year vs. last year.
Personal recommendations and social media influencers may play a larger part this year. Some 79% of consumers said they are influenced by other people when making BTS purchases, rather than ads.

Hi everyone. I want to buy Buick Riviera and my friend recomended these two car auctions https://abetter.bid/en/car-finder/type-automobiles/make-buick https://sca.auction/en/search/type-cars/make-buick Anyone knows good auctions with Buicks where I you can bid? By the way checked several cars and seems like this one is a good car to bid https://abetter.bid/en/24994189-1968-buick-riviera .
What do you think, should I bid?


Is there something I need to do in code in order to get my toolbars to persist their state? I''ve looked through the samples but I don''t see anything. On my MainFrameBarManager, I have AutoLoadToolBarPositions = false, AutoPersistCustomization = true, Enable Customizing = true On my ChildFrameBarManager, I have EnableCustomizing set to true. All of the "BarStyles" have AllowQuickCustomizing set on. When I''m running, I open up the child form and all of my child toolbars are displayed. I then go to the Customize Toolbar and hide two of them. I then close the child form and open it again and all the toolbars are displayed again.
Here''s some more detailed information : 1) I locate the folder in IsolatedStorage that corresponds to my application - verified by identity.date & folder creation date. 2) I delete it 3) I run my application. I verify that a new folder has been created in isolated storage. The Files folder 2 directories down is empty. 4) I bring up a child form. By default, it has three toolbars displayed - this is correct. 5) I go to Customize Toolbar and mark one of the toolbars to not be displayed - it disappears from the display. The Files folder is still empty. 6) I exit the child form. The Files folder is still empty. 7) I exit the application. The Files folder now has a SyncfusionToolsStateInfo.bin file. 8) I run the program again and bring up the child form. THE TOOLBAR THAT WAS MARKED TO NOT BE DISPLAYED IS DISPLAYED AGAIN. What am I missing? Something''s being persisted - it''e either not the toolbar information or it''s the wrong toolbar information.
I''ve pretty much looked at everything - I see no difference. The only other clue I can give is that persistance does work for the one toolbar that is present in the Parent window. It''s the two that only exist in the Child window that ignore the customization settings. Any other things to check??

Be Your Best Self: Distinguished Young Women teaches self-worth
January 29, 2017 Laura Ashley Lamm Features

GREENSBORO — Be healthy. Be studious. Be ambitious. Be responsible. Be your best self. Be distinguished. These are all phrases that countless young women across North Carolina and the nation are quite familiar with.
These philosophies are part of the Distinguished Young Women program, a national scholarship program, with state and local affiliates, that promotes and rewards strong academics in the classroom, leadership in the community, and talent in young women.
Founded as America's Junior Miss in 1958, it is the largest and oldest scholarship program of its kind for high school girls at the junior and senior level.
"The program is built to be an experience for all young women involved so they may learn more about themselves, gain skills to help them be successful and to prepare them to seek a higher education," said Casey Chudy, chair of the DYW of North Carolina program.
Local programs are held in counties throughout the state with winners culminating this past week in Greensboro to select a state winner to compete at nationals in June. There are five components of competition: scholarship, interview, fitness, self-expression, and talent.
"These five elements help develop and show a well-rounded girl which stays in line with our platform of being your best self," said Chudy.
"Scholarship encourages studiousness. Interview helps them share their goals and discover what drives them to achieve those goals. Fitness encourages healthiness through exercise. Self-expression allows them to share their ideas while learning to speak in public. Talent allows them to shine for 90 seconds showcasing their personal skills," added Chudy.
The organization's service platform is the Be Your Best Self Program which encourages girls to follow the five pillars: be healthy, be involved, be studious, be ambitious, and be responsible.
"What one can learn through the Distinguished Young Women program coupled with Be Your Best Self transcends into everyday life," said Martha Bennett, the 2016 DYW of North Carolina.
"Becoming aware of what is healthy for you through exercise, building confidence and expressing yourself, strengthening your skills and talents, learning who you are as a person, and encouraging hard work in school and college are the key components," she added.
During their week in Greensboro, participants visit local elementary schools presenting programs and activities relating to the Be Your Best Self campaign.
"Visiting with a fifth-grade classroom was an emotional experience for me. I brought every student a rainbow fish and talked with them about the fact that while each fish is different, we should accept one another and love the person we are," said Shelbi Long, DYW of New Hanover County.
"One child, Maurice, had the biggest smile on his face when I walked into the room. He said, 'I don't have anything about me that's special.' I told him his smile was one of the most wonderful parts about him," she added.
The Be Your Best Self Program is one the Distinguished Young Women implement in their local communities as well.
"I hosted a Princess Ball for elementary school girls where I spoke about the Be Your Best Self program and encouraged the girls to be who they are," said Lindsay Ficklin, DYW of Rutherford County.
At the state level, the Class of 2017 is comprised of 17 winners representing the local programs vying for the title of 2017 DYW of North Carolina with $20,500 in scholarships awarded throughout the competition.
North Carolina has a vast line of notable winners, which include actress Amy Young, better known by her stage name of Bellamy Young, who portrays the first lady on ABC's "Scandal." North Carolina has had two national winners, Kim Smith Yandow in 1981, and, most recently, Christina Maxwell in 2012.
"The best part of the program for me is that while this isn't a pageant with a crown, I still feel like a princess," said Long.
"This program has opened my eyes. I had a fear of not being accepted, but I've been welcomed with open arms. I'm able to just be myself …"… and be distinguished.

This was a really sweet story, the main characters, Jesse Oliver and Kat McMarrin were really likable; they just had you rooting for their happy ending.
Jesse had a really tough life growing up and after returning from Afghanistan and going through a lot of trauma things are finally good working as a cook, complete 360 from the field medic he used to be. Jesse keeps to himself and just goes about his life day to day. When a busted pipe forces him and all of his neighbors out of their apartments, Jesse has nowhere to go until his buddy offers him use of the duplex co-owned by his sister. Yes, it's a one of those, guy meets friend's sister and BAM! connection.
Kat was very happy finally having her own space after growing up with a military father who constantly uprooted her and her brother in their youth; when her apartment is flooded she decides to go to the duplex she co-owns with her brother (yes, she was Jesse's neighbor and apparently did not know big brother and hot neighbor were besties).
Well, Kat and Jessie work together to restore the duplex and become a whole lot closer; together they are able to overcome their issues and move together to their happily ever after. Even when Jesse is being a typical dumb guy who thinks it's best to walk away from his lady love.


The biggest threat to Churches and the power of God in those Churches is not a lack of desire for a spiritual experience. Every human is born with an innate desire to worship. Apparently many have yet to find it in Church. The biggest threat for Churches in America is a lack of authenticity.
According to a recent study, only about 40% of those claiming to be Christian attend a local Church. You can ask several non-attendees and you will receive that many answers as to why they no longer attend. Some will say they don't fit in. Others will offer the excuse that they have been hurt in Church. Some will complain that all the Church wants is money. The excuses are almost endless.
However, when the study delved deep into those reasons, a shocking discovery was revealed. It seems that most of those who did not attend, especially the younger generation, did not attend because the Church and Christians did not seem authentic.
It seems as if we preach that God will change our lives when we accept Him as Savior, yet so many of the Church membership are still living as they did when they were not a Christian. Pastors preach that God still heals the sick, yet most could not pray away a headache. We preach God will break addictions in our lives, yet more than 60% of Church membership is still addicted to something.
Is the modern Church authentic or have we resorted to using smoke and mirrors as a substitute for His Glory, entertainment in the place of legitimate praise and worship, and motivational feel-good speeches in the place of a real message from God?
It could be that your Church is struggling financially because you have not been a good steward of God's financial books and records, and your Church is out of compliance with IRS and Federal Regulations. Romans 13:1-6 basically demands that we obey the laws of the land. Even Jesus said, "Render to Caesar that which belongs to Caesar. . ." Looking for loopholes in attempts to disobey the laws of our land is just as sinful as looking for loopholes in Scripture to justify our sin.
We are the nation's authority on Church Management and, IRS and Federal compliance. We have brought thousands of Churches into compliance and watched as God began to bless those Churches for the good stewardship of His books and financial records.
Every Pastor, Pastor's Spouse, and Church Leader must attend the nearest Church Management Conference immediately. You do not have time to waste because not only is Uncle Sam watching, most importantly God is watching. GOD WILL NOT BLESS A MESS!
At these conferences we will show you what to do to get your House of Worship in order and offer keys as to how to become authentic to make an impact in this generation.
To register for the nearest conference call 800-344-0076 now or visit us at www.cmtc.org. You do not have a moment to lose.

Q: Does an IoC Container affect the design of an application using Dependency Injection? Is it safe to say that a Container is the "program" or mechanism that manages IoC via DI, but it doesn't really change your initial design of DI to accomplish loose coupling?
In other words, if I want to achieve loose coupling, say for a Logger, using a Container doesn't change that.  It just manages it in case I had a lot of dependencies to construct a class (less typing, more manageable, better Unit testing, etc.)
It won't change the fact that I have interfaces and contracts with ILogger or IDatabase, for example, correct?
//Assume I have to interfaces and two classes that implement them
Class DemoDI
{
    ILogger myLogger;
    IDatabase myDatabase;

    DemoDI(ILogger myLogger, IDatabase myDatabase)
    {
        this.myLogger = myLogger;
        this.myDatabase = myDatabase;
    }

    //Methods that do stuff with the logger and database
}

I'm asking if that wouldn't change, that design pattern.  It's just that somewhere, (main?), I would (say with Unity)
ioc.RegisterType<ILogger MyLoggingClass>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
ioc.RegisterType<IDatabase MySQLDatabaseClass>; //transient by default

And, if MySQLDatabaseClass had,
interface IDatabaseConnection
{
    void GetConnection();
}
Class DataConnection : IDatabaseConnection
{

    public void GetConnection()
    {
        //Get a connection
    }

}
Class MySQLDatabaseClass
{
    DataConnection myConn;

    MySQLDatabaseClass(DataConnection myConn)
    {
        this.myConn = myConn;
        this.myConn.GetConnection();
    }
    //Do other things;

}

Then the Container would wire that up too, assuming I had a:
ioc.RegisterType<IDatabaseConnection, DataConnection>();

If not I'd have to do it all by hand.  The container is the helper that makes it nice and neat and assembles it all.
Now, if I want to Unit test the database class I would just have to adjust my container:
ioc.RegisterType<IDatabase MyMockedUpMySQLDatabaseClass>; //transient by default

Do I understand the purpose of an IoC Container correctly?  Hopefully, I didn't get too lost in my dependencies.

A:
Is it safe to say that a Container is the "program" or mechanism that manages IoC via DI, but it doesn't really change your initial design of DI to accomplish loose coupling?

IoC and DI will change any design that didn't previously follow them. Using a container shouldn't change your design but it often does.  Some containers demand you spread knowledge of the container throughout your code base.  You end up trading one one set of dependencies for another.  You shouldn't be able to look at a class and tell what container is involved.  If you can, well now you're dependent on that container.
IoC and DI do not require a management container.  You can manage them best by understanding what they are rather than expecting a container to do your thinking. You can manage them with a container but that's your choice.
Foo foo = new Foo( new Bar() );

That right there is a dependency injection.  Foo depends on Bar, or at least some kind of Bar like thing.  Foo can't exist without it. Bar is a dependency.  Since Bar is being passed to Foo, Bar is a dependency that's been injected.
IoC is a complicated way to say: don't hard code knowledge of an implementation.  If Foo built it's own Bar, Foo would be hard coded to Bar and Foo couldn't accept new kinds of Bar but if Foo doesn't know about Bar, just an interface, then Bar can be changed without touching Foo.
There are many way's to not hard code a dependency (follow IoC):

*

*Factory pattern

*Service locator pattern

*Dependency injection,

*Constructor injection

*Parameter injection

*Setter injection

*Interface injection

*Contextualized lookup

*Template method design pattern

*Strategy design pattern

You can do this stuff in a container.  You can do it in construction code.   You can do it in main.
Wherever you do it, please don't mix this construction code with behavior code.  Hard wiring together stuff the moment you feel like it creates the mess that started this overblown container movement in the first place.  It's a real problem.  The best solution is to understand that you can fix it yourself.

Gingivitis refers to the inflammation of the gums surrounding the teeth .Chronic gingivitis can cause permanent damage to teeth .
Bacteria causes the inflammation of gums as mouth is perfect place for bacteria to thrive as apart from getting warm and moist environment and constant food supply.
Gums become red, swollen and tender .When gum disease gets worsened it is known as –Periodontitis leading to discharge of pus from gums and loosening of teeth.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor dental hygiene.
Dentists usually diagnose gingivitis on the basis of medical history and an examination of the teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue.
The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation. Treatment options range from non-surgical therapies for controlling bacterial growth to surgery to restore supportive tissues.
• Toothpaste containing mint, babool, is the best deal to fight gingivitis.
• Gargling also helps treat gingivitis. Take a glass of lukewarm water and add a pinch of salt to it.
• Aloe vera proves helpful in treating gingivitis.
• Increase in the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Include foods rich in fiber and vitamin C and those that have low saturated fats.
• A patient complains of fetid breath from mouth.
• There is soreness of gums after extraction of teeth.

Note: these instructions have also been confirmed to work on an ubuntu workstation with in-built bluetooth support.
Before proceeding, you must make sure to pair your android device to your raspberry pi. To do this, ensure that your raspberry pi is discover able (see step 2 above), and search for the device in the bluetooth settings in your android. After successful pairing, you should be able to continue.
Lines 67-141: this is the runnable (thread) which is used to send and receive information over the bluetooth RFCOMM channel. We need to run this in a seperate thread so as to avoid ANR (application not responding) notifications, and hence leaving the GUI responsive. The thread first sends a message using the sendBtMsg function (line 77), and then opens an input stream and waits for response data. The app waits for response data by creating a buffer (of 1024 bytes in this case – line 95). When data is received, the app checks if the delimiter character is present (in this case the delimiter character is the exclamation mark [!] – ascii character 33 – line 27). We implement this pattern so as to be sure that we received the entire intended data stream before displaying the information to the end user. Obviously, you may want to change my choice of using ! as a delimiter to something more suited to your needs.
Hey this is great! I've been looking for a way to control linear actuators with Bluetooth and android. Just out of curiosity, what did you used to compile the android code?
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm still struggling connecting with my android device (note 3) to the raspberry PI 2. I've disabled pnat and followed bluez, but instantly disconnect after connecting. Any ideas?


What is the Difference between Skin Hydrating and Moisturizing?
Not sure about you, I only know about moisturizing rather than hydrating. I always thought Hydrating and Moisturizing is the similar thing.
Hydrating products are said to be moisturizing but its not the same thing. WTH! So confusing! I read somewhere and they said hydrating means the actual replenishment of moisture or water to skin cells. While moisturizing products keep the skin soft and prevent water content in skin from evaporating. With this both hydrating and moisturizer works well together.
Question which one goes first? Hydrating or Moisturizer?
Well...you should replenish moisture to your skin before apply moisturizing skincare. Hydrating product comes first and follow with moisturizer.
Does this means you need to apply 2 different products?
Well...nowadays many moisturizer comes with water-binding ingredients. So you need to check the ingredients before purchase your next moisturizer.
At age 40s its important for me to hydrate my skin well to ensure my skin is well maintain and slow down the aging process.
I chose Clinelle Deep Cleansing Water because it comes with Pomegranate enzyme and helps to cleanse face, Eyeand lips area. This is a 5 in 1 face cleansing - make up remover, exfoliate, purify , brighten and moisturize.
I kind of love this because its cooling and refreshing on skin. You won't feel the heavy gel stuck on skin all night long. It feels light and provides optimum hydration and brightening effects. This sleeping mask easily absorbed and leaves skin hydrated and supple the next day. Try this once and you will get what I mean.
* PureSwiss Thermal Spring Water - Act as Hydra Booster to maximize protection to skin.
* Natural Phyto Hyaluronic Acid - Locks in moisture for 72 hours.
How to apply sleeping mask ?
Just apply adequate amount to face and neck area before bedtime.Rinse it thoroughly with water on the next morning. Easy, right?
Never step outside without any sun protection to your skin. I prefer the non sticky and non greasy sun protection. Clinelle Sun Care series is one of my favourite choice. It helps to soothe, hydrate and protect my skin well. This range comes with RX3 Action which is Repair , Refine and Re-shield.
Seriously this EE cream is nothing new to me. I swear to this. It really does a great job to my skin. Check out my Clinelle Miracle AquaCapsule EE Cream review. I am still using this from time to time.
You can get your hand on Clinelle awesome products range at the nearest pharmacies or convenient online purhase at www.clinelle.com.
Okay, so hydration is followed by moisturizing. Thanks for that. Hope I got that right, but I'v never tried products from Clinelle.
Great article I didn't know about this at all, makes me wonder if I'm doing it wrong.
I've been looking high and low for sleep mask. Since you swear by Clinelle Pure Swiss Sleeping Mask, I want to give it a try as well.
I love this article. Finally, i can give importance to drink a lot of water and use hydrating products!
Good that you wrote this post. I was always confused about whether they are same or different products.
Thanks for sharing with us. I thought hydration and moisturising is the same thing too.
That's a good write up! i think both are important too.


National children's magazine Scholastic News has selected Junior Miss Five Hills Dorianna Gilbert to be featured in its December 10 issue, focusing on child philanthropists for her work with a junior homecoming dance to raise awareness for kids with dyslexia.
Dorianna raised more than $1,800 for dyslexia awareness and donated the funds to kids in her school district that suffer from dyslexia. Although she doesn't suffer from dyslexia, Dorianna has a friend that was being bullied and decided to promote dyslexia awareness in an effort to raise awareness and put an end to bullying.
She also stood alongside the mayor of Austin, Texas, as he declared a proclamation making October Dyslexia Awareness Month.


One more thing, I just wants to trigger without bothering about output and waiting.
Are you using this php script whit apache ? In this case you should check if apache has the rights to exec those crontabs.
Maybe $CMD is not being well parsed, php and bash use the same syntax for the variables... Who is interpreting this?
Also I would recommend you to use the exec function instead, so you can debug a little more with the output and return code.

Viaxyl Muscle ermit me start off by telling you that I acquiesce to the current famous approximation. Eventually you will comprehend muscle building. The muscle building world you're living in is not working out. That's for real. It's primo. I got during a heated argument germane to muscle building the other day. There is controversial proof of that. It plays a part when a muscle building that promotes a sway for a muscle building. Muscle building includes a ton of potential. There is therefore much info overload relating to muscle building.

Fingerprint hashing is merging fingerprint recognition and cryptographic methods. The aim is to perform a recognition using fingerprint while, at the same time, hiding the private information related to the fingerprint, thus enabling public fingerprint templates.
Keeping a database in a safe place is not easy. Even with good encryption methods and special care, databases containing sensitive information, such as bank account numbers, are vulnerable to being compromised. Nobody wants something like that to happen when dealing with fingerprint identification.

Issue #57, Making a Living
Ideas That Seem Impossible
An Interview with Lenka Clayton
Sara Button
Lenka Clayton, whose work is featured in Issue #57, is an award-winning British conceptual artist currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. Her work has been exhibited in places as varied as a Danish medieval tower, FRAC Le Plateau in Paris, and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, among many others. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from Central St. Martins and an MA in Documentary Direction from the National Film & Television School, and is currently the Artist-in-Residence at Philadelphia's Fabric Workshop and Museum.
CNF: Is there something specific about the nature of the typewriter that inspired you to create this art?
CLAYTON: Using a machine designed for one task to do another instead is really exciting to me. I enjoy the fact that the typewriter can be used as a tool to draw with and also an obstruction to making the same drawing. The limitation of only being able to use 86 very specific marks translates imagery in unforeseeable ways. I love the surprise of what turns up when I try to draw a rainbow using parenthesis, or the New York Times with the period and underscore keys. It reminds me of when I used to develop my own photographs, and would watch with surprise as images appeared in the developing tray.
Things made using a typewriter have the quality of messages sent from a past era, even if they were made yesterday, and are drawings of an iPhone. Once I went to a weaving factory in Bombay and remember the incredibly loud clatter of a hundred cast-iron machines, all slightly out of sync, producing delicate, woven fabric. I love the implied clatter of the typewriter. When you look at a typewritten page you can almost hear the sound of its production.
CNF: How do these images speak to the theme of making a living? Did the essays inspire you?
CLAYTON: I make the drawings then sell them and then pay the electric bill, or my children's pre-school, or buy a hat. They are very directly related to the way that I currently make part of my living. Also I like the play of the typewriter that was once a tool in a very specific working environment, being given a new task that it and I have to learn together. I just inherited my grandfather's old Smith Corona. He used it to type invoices and do accounting for his building firm, Walter Read & Co. I'm pretty sure that in his lifetime we'd not really have been able to collaborate but I like the idea that we can use the same machine to make a living in very different ways by pressing the exact same keys, fifty years apart.
I decided that rather than try to illustrate the essays I'd imagine that I was writing an eighth essay on the typewriter, using the same letter forms and punctuation as the other contributors, just in a different way. This eighth essay is printed in ten chapters throughout the magazine.
CNF: How do you approach obstruction as an artist?
CLAYTON: I have come to realize that obstruction is one of my main working materials. I'm drawn to ideas that seem impossible, or at least too difficult to bother trying to do. For example; hand-numbering 7,000 stones, finding the 630 people mentioned by name in a single edition of a newspaper, or writing and sending a hand-written letter to every household in the world. As there is no clear reason for undertaking such tasks, I've found this creates a vast unexplored space to work in. Recently I was talking to my brother, an incredibly gifted computer programmer. He described most of his work as being the attempt to create more and more efficient methods to complete tasks. I realized that much of my process is working in the exact opposite direction, examining inefficiency and the value of labor applied to ephemeral or impossible tasks. It perhaps goes without saying that he is more financially stable than I am (joke). (True).
A recent project, An Artist Residency in Motherhood, is entirely structured around the idea of reframing obstruction. It considers aspects of parenthood usually seen as obstructions to artistic practice (scarcity of time, lack of resources, nap-length studio time, anxiety, etc.) and reframes them instead as material to make artwork out of. Some examples of work I made during the residency are a sculpture and book titled "63 Objects From My Son's Mouth" and a video called "The Distance I can be From my Son" in which I allow my 1 1/2 year old son to run away from me until I am compelled by panic to run after him.
CNF: Text and writing play a big part in your work as a whole. How do you link the visual and textual
CLAYTON: Text is visual! Even Braille. I think of it as a potential material, in the same way as anything else.
CNF: What is your creative process like?
CLAYTON: I have two pre-school aged kids, so I've become quite structured about things. In any bits of free time in the week I do studio administration, meet people, collect material and work on commissions. On Sunday I have a studio day and try to save that as a time to play around and/or make new work. I try to also have an ongoing project that I can pick up easily and do a little each day, like the Typewriter Drawings series.
Generally speaking, I find ideas and creative direction by paying careful attention to things around me in my everyday life. Sometimes I do this by writing or meditating. Another excellent, highly recommended way is shopping. I go to thrift stores, flea markets, or estate sales several times a week, and visit an amazing store in Pittsburgh called the Center for Creative Reuse, where I go shopping for ideas. Handling and collecting found objects is a very fruitful way for me to think. I keep them in my studio for a while until I understand what I should do with them. If nothing shows up I eventually take them back to the thrift store.
I also find inspiration from playing with my kids, picking things up off the street, reading and visiting museums of all kinds, talks, classes and so on. I write ideas that turn up on little scraps of paper that end up scattered all over everywhere. Eventually I'll write the same idea enough times that I have to make it.
In an alternative life I'd also walk for hours, write a diary each day and draw people in the streets, but I don't actually do those things in real life.
CNF: You work with a lot of different media. Do you have any that you're particularly drawn to?
CLAYTON: I love sewing—specifically, joining thin fabric together with tiny hand stitches. It's a deeply satisfying compulsion that I was taught to do as a child by my mother, grandmother, and a primary school teacher. I've recently been collaborating with Welsh artist and filmmaker Joanna Wright on a piece called Two Itinerant Quilters, a project in which we convince passers-by to let us cut a diamond shaped hole from a garment they're wearing, which we repair with a hand-stitched patch. Then we turn all the diamond shaped pieces into a huge collective quilt. We're currently working on designing an Itinerant Quilters tour.
I've also started to investigate places where the sewing machine and typewriter intersect. I made a series called Hand-Typed Shirts. I bought white cotton button-down shirts, took them apart at their seams into their twenty-one component parts, then ran each part through a typewriter. I typed patterns directly onto the fabric, by pressing (for example) the period key 20,000 times to "type" a polka-dot shirt. Then I sewed the pieces back together again. I really enjoyed the undoing and redoing of labor, sewing the pieces back together using the same holes that another worker had once made with their needle. When I took the shirt apart I found all these little pencil lines and numbers that had once marked the pieces for cutting. It made me think about the invisible hand-made role within machine-made garments, something that the final hand-typed shirt also considers.
CNF: What or whose story do you aim to tell through your art?
CLAYTON: I studied Documentary Filmmaking as well as Fine Art and often think about my work as falling between these two disciplines. Storytelling is a fundamental concern in documentary filmmaking, constructed by a process of collecting and editing. I work in a similar way as an artist but am not interested in "story" as an intact pre-planned entity (beginning, middle, end, etc.). Rather, I work with paying attention to shared experience and then reframing and representing the familiar in order that it might be experienced anew.
In 2009 made a piece called Slow Magic Tricks. It was an installation in a Parisian storefront, which was altered every night for a month. In the storefront was a beautiful, fringed folding table like something a street magician might set up. On the table ten "slow magic tricks" were performed. On the first day the ingredients of the trick would be laid out; for example all the ingredients you'd need to bake a cake. On the second day these were covered with a shiny red "magic" blanket. On the third day - Ta Da! 167 decorated fairy cakes were revealed. Other tricks performed included plants growing, knitted garments unraveling, and an egg hatching into a chicken. It was impossible to go and "visit" the work. You had to pass by the window each day, as hundreds of local residents did, and pay attention, and remember what was in the window yesterday for the piece to function. The story was carried as a fragmented narrative that developed a little each day in the mind of the viewer.
CNF: What other artists inspire you?
CLAYTON: A short list of recent inspirations with very many exceptions, in alphabetical order:
Francis Alÿs, Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Sophie Calle, James Castle, Joseph Cornell, Michael Crowe, Linda Davis, Jeremy Deller, Mark Dion, Marcel Duchamp, Michael Dumontier, Jimmie Durham, Robert Filliou, Jason Fulford, the quilt-makers of Gee's Bend, Vanessa German, Ann Hamilton, Mitch Hedberg, Barbara Hepworth, Werner Herzog, Christine Hill, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Sofia Hultén, On Kawara, Viktor Kossakovsky, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Charles LeDray, Lorrie Moore, Jenn Myers, Claes Oldenburg, Roman Ondák, Yoko Ono, Cornelia Parker, Georges Perec, Dieter Roth, Jon Rubin, Kateřina Šedá, John Smith, Studs Terkel and Anu Tuominen.
CNF: Of your own work, what's your favorite piece or series? Why?
CLAYTON: They're part of an ongoing train of thought and relate to each other so directly that it's hard to separate individual pieces out. I like to watch the passing of time on older works. I made People in Order, for example, ten years ago and am one of the people in it. Each time I watch it I've moved a bit up the scale and relate to a new person in the film, leaving my younger self behind, stuck at 28 years old.
I enjoy releasing my work into the world and pieces that have an interesting journey of their own are particularly dear to me. At one stage People in Order was suddenly re-edited by hundreds of Japanese people who saw two participants as having mystical powers, for example. Or my film Qaeda, quality, question, quickly, quickly quiet (President Bush's 2002 State of the Union address, each word cut up and rearranged into alphabetical order). That film traveled, through zero dexterous publicity on my part, to Kiev, Israel, Korea, Russia, all over Western Europe and the US. It got made into a record in London, into a ring tone in Japan, and I still hear about it being played in nightclubs in Europe. The unexpected places where my work and the world intersect absolutely delight me, and are the reason I continue to make art.
Don't miss a word of the best true stories, well told.

NZ annual migration at decade high as arrivals pass 100,000,eclipsing May record
Monday 21st July 2014
New Zealand's annual migration extended its decade highs in June, as a record number of arrivals pushed the net inflow above the 2014 peak estimated by the Treasury and the Reserve Bank.
The country gained a net 38,300 migrants in the year through June, the highest since October 2003, Statistics New Zealand said. Annual arrivals rose to 100,800, the highest ever inflow, while departures were down 22 percent from the year before to 62,400, as fewer New Zealanders left for Australia.
The Treasury had forecast annual net migration to peak at 38,100 in September, before returning to the long-run assumption of 12,000 a year by 2017, while the central bank expected a mid-2014 peak at 37,000, according to its June Monetary Policy Statement. High levels of migration are stoking demand for housing and boosting spending in the economy, and Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler has flagged stronger than expected inflows as a significant inflationary pressure. On Thursday Wheeler is expected to hike the official cash rate for a fourth time this year to 3.5 percent, but economists have speculated he will then take a pause in the tightening cycle, given milder-than-expected inflation and weaker global dairy prices.
"Net immigration is now clearly running ahead of the RBNZ's forecasts back in the June Monetary Policy Statement," Felix Delbruck, senior economist at Westpac New Zealand, said in a note. "That is a single bright spot in what has overall been a disappointing run of New Zealand data for the Reserve Bank.The major factor driving this migration cycle has been movements by both New Zealanders and Australians across the Tasman as the Australian job market has cooled. We don't expect Australian job prospects to improve decisively before early next year, so this migration dynamic could continue for a while."
New Zealand gained a seasonally adjusted 4,300 migrants in June, climbing from 3,980 in May, Statistics New Zealand said. Net migration to Australia was zero in June, the first time since August 1991 people leaving for Australia equaled those arriving from across the Tasman.
The number of short-term visitor arrivals rose 2 percent to a record 162,100 for a June month, helped by more visitors from Japan and China, the agency said. Overseas trips by New Zealanders rose 4 percent to 206,500 in June from the year earlier month.

The Leinster Senior League Senior Division is the top division of the Leinster Senior League. It is organized by the Leinster Football Association. Together with the Munster Senior League Senior Premier Division and the Ulster Senior League Senior Division, it forms the third level of the Republic of Ireland football league system. Formed in 1896, it is the oldest association football league in what is now the Republic of Ireland. Shelbourne have won the most titles. However, in more recent seasons Crumlin United, Cherry Orchard, Wayside Celtic and Bangor Celtic have been the divisions strongest teams. In 2014–15 Bluebell United were Leinster Senior League champions, 27 years after winning their previous title.
Clubs from this division play in the Leinster Senior Cup, the FAI Cup, the FAI Intermediate Cup and the FAI Junior Cup. In recent seasons the winners of the Senior Division have also been invited to play in the League of Ireland Cup.

From 1896–97 until 1964–65, the league was the de facto second-level league in what is now the Republic of Ireland. Initially the Irish Football League was the top level. Then for one season, 1920–21, the Leinster Senior League was briefly the top-level league. However, this status was short-lived and ended with the establishment of the League of Ireland in 1921–22. The Leinster Senior League remained a second-level league until 1964–65, when it was effectively replaced by the League of Ireland B Division. With the establishment of the A Championship in 2008, it became a fourth-level league. However, since the demise of the A Championship in 2011, it has reverted to third-level status.

2022–23 teams

Promotion and relegation
A promotion and relegation system operates within the Leinster Senior League structure itself. However, there is no formal promotion and relegation relationship with the League of Ireland. Teams can only be "promoted" by sending an application to the FAI. In the past successful and prominent members of the Leinster Senior League have regularly been invited and/or elected to join the League of Ireland. Current League of Ireland clubs Bohemians, Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers, St Patrick's Athletic and Bray Wanderers are all former Leinster Senior League champions. While Bohemians and Shelbourne were founding members of the League of Ireland, Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic were all effectively "promoted" to the League of Ireland after winning the Leinster Senior League Senior Division title. Incidentally both Rovers and St Pats won successive Leinster Senior League and League of Ireland titles in 1921-22 and 1922-23 and 1950–51 and 1951–52 respectively.
 Current League of Ireland clubs Athlone Town, Dundalk, Longford Town, UCD and Cabinteely are also former members of the Leinster Senior League
 Former League of Ireland clubs Drumcondra, Dolphins, Reds United and St James's Gate have all been Leinster Senior League champions who were then "promoted" or elected to the League of Ireland.
 Shelbourne United, Brideville, Bray Unknowns, Transport, Bray Wanderers, Home Farm and St Francis are all former Leinster Senior League champions who were elected to the League of Ireland several seasons after winning the Leinster title.
 Jacobs, Brideville, Transport and St James's Gate all dropped out of the League of Ireland to play in the Leinster Senior League. All four subsequently won the Senior Division. Brideville and Gate both later rejoined the League of Ireland.

Reserve Teams
Throughout its history the Leinster Senior League Senior Division has regularly featured the reserve teams of League of Ireland teams. The reserve teams of Shelbourne, Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers, St Patrick's Athletic, Brideville, Drumcondra and Dolphins have all been Senior Division champions in their own right. The reserve teams of Cabinteely and UCD currently play in the lower levels of the Leinster Senior League.

History

Foundation
Within a few seasons of the Leinster Football Association been formed in 1892, the Leinster Senior League was established. Ciarán Priestley highlights a printed notice in the 4 September 1894 edition of The Irish Times. Under the headline "Leinster Football League"  there is a report of "a general meeting of the league... held the other evening at 27 D'Olier Street". Priestley also lists Bohemians, Britannia, Dublin University, Leinster Nomads, Phoenix and Montpelier as participants in the first season. The Leinster Senior League website states it was established in 1896. However other sources suggest the league started a little later and was first played for in 1897–98 and that an unidentified British Army regimental team where the inaugural winners while Shelbourne were runners up.

Bohemians and Shelbourne era
Up until the 1920s the league was dominated by Bohemians and Shelbourne. These two clubs still remain the league's two most successful teams based on titles they won in this era. Even when Bohemians and Shelbourne joined the Irish Football League in 1902 and 1904 respectively, their reserve teams continued to win titles regularly. Initially only St James's Gate and British Army regimental teams challenged the Bohemians/Shelbourne duopoly. During the First World War the Irish Football League was suspended and the senior teams of both Bohemians and Shelbourne rejoined the Leinster Senior League. Meanwhile, their northern counterparts competed in the Belfast & District League. The 1919–20 saw a return to an all-Ireland
league. However further disruption caused by the Irish War of Independence meant this was short-lived and at the end of this season Bohemians and Shelbourne withdrew from the Irish Football League permanently. They subsequently rejoined the Leinster Senior League and for the 1920–21 season. The league now briefly became the top level league in what is now the Republic of Ireland. 1920–21 also saw Shelbourne United emerge as champions, becoming only the fourth civilian team to win the title.

1920s
The 1921–22 season saw the establishment of the League of Ireland and this had a considerable impact on the Leinster Senior League. All eight founding League of Ireland members – Shelbourne, Bohemians, St James's Gate, Jacobs, Olympia, Dublin United, Frankfort  and YMCA – had all spent the previous season playing in the Leinster Senior League. The emergence of the League of Ireland thus created a number of vacancies in the Senior Division and among the clubs who filled them were Shamrock Rovers. For the 1921–22 season Rovers were joined in the Senior Division by Bohemians B, St James's Gate B, Bray Unknowns, Midland Athletic, Pioneers, Brooklyn, Shelbourne United, Merrion, Glasnevin, CYMS and Richmond. With a team that included John Joe Flood, William Glen, Bob Fullam and Dinny Doyle, Rovers won the Senior Division and reached the 1921–22 FAI Cup final.  The 1922–23 season saw the League of Ireland expand to twelve teams. After Frankfort and YMCA dropped out, six new teams – Shamrock Rovers, Midland Athletic, Pioneers, Shelbourne United, Athlone Town and  Rathmines Athletic  – were invited to join. Once again the Leinster Senior League provided most of the League of Ireland's newest members. Further vacancies in the Senior Division were now created and among the clubs who subsequently filled them were Brideville, Dolphins, Dundalk and Drumcondra. Like Shelbourne United and Shamrock Rovers before them, Bray Unknowns, Brideville, Drumcondra and Dolphins all won the Leinster Senior League title and were then invited to join the League of Ireland. Brooklyn were also elected to the League of Ireland for the 1923–24 season. Dundalk joined the Leinster Senior League in 1922–23. They were runners up in 1923–24 and then finished third in 1925–26 before making their League of Ireland debut in 1926–27. While playing in Leinster Senior League, Drumcondra also won an FAI Intermediate Cup / FAI Cup double in 1926–27.

1930s
During the 1930s three more Leinster Senior League champions made the step up to the League of Ireland. These included Sligo Rovers, Brideville and Reds United. At the end of the 1931–32 League of Ireland season Brideville dropped out. However 1932–33 saw them win their second Leinster Senior League title. 1932–33 also Sligo Rovers join the Leinster Senior League. In their first season they finished third. During the season they had twice beaten the champions Brideville and also defeated Bohemians B. In 1933–34 Sligo Rovers achieved a treble, winning the Leinster Senior League, the FAI Intermediate Cup and the LFA Metropolitan Cup. On the back of this success, they joined the League of Ireland for the 1934–35 season. The following season, 1935–36 saw Brideville return to the League of Ireland along with the 1934–35 Leinster Senior League champions, Reds United. During the late 1930s and 1940s the Leinster Senior League's most successful team was Distillery. They won the title five times during period. However unlike some of their contemporaries, Distillery never moved up the League of Ireland.

St Patrick's Athletic era
During the late 1940s and 1950s the strongest team in the Leinster Senior League was St Patrick's Athletic. During this period they won the league title on six occasions. This included four successive titles between 1947–48 and 1950–51. In 1947–48 St Pat's completed a treble after also winning both the FAI Intermediate Cup and Leinster Senior Cup. The 1948–49 season would see St Pat's win a Leinster Senior League / FAI Intermediate Cup. In 1950–51 a young Shay Gibbons helped St Pat's win the Leinster Senior League title for a fourth time. St Pat's were subsequently invited to join the 1951–52 League of Ireland and went on to win their first League of Ireland title at their first attempt. With St Pat's first team now in the League of Ireland, their reserve team won two further Leinster Senior League titles in 1955–56 and 1956–57.

Saving and investing help us not only secure our own future, but also the future of our family. Therefore, no matter how much you earn, you should always think of investing a part of your income for a secure future and creation of wealth. There are many things that you have to keep in mind when it comes to personal finance because managing the same effectively is not everyone's cup of tea. There are many institutions that claim to teach you the required skills, but managing the same would not be easy. It will take a lot of time to become financial-savvy, but you must at least be aware of the basics that are simple and never change.
In the process of managing personal finance, you should start with writing your goals that include what you want to achieve and what you want to do with your money. You should be aware of the fact that finance can easily affect your life and associated things. If you want to have a world tour, then you have to plan things accordingly. For an early retirement, you have to start managing funds as soon as possible. Buying a house, starting a family, moving or shifting careers will all be affected by how you manage your finances. After writing your goals, you must prioritize them. Don't forget to pay attention to the most important things of your life.
# You should start by setting goals, especially the long-term goals that include clearing debts, purchasing a home, or retiring early. These goals should be different from your short-term goals.
# Short-term goals include your day-to-day budget, decreasing your spendings, and limiting the use of your credit cards.
# Rank your goals to assist you to create a financial plan.
If you want to reach your financial goal then it is essential to have a financial plan. The plans include multiple steps. A sample plan includes getting control of your budget, making a spending plan, then clearing debt.
# Don't forget that your budget is the key to success. It is the basic tool that will help you out in getting the control over your financial future.
# You should keep on investing in your long-term goals that include retirement and many more.
#You should always keep an emergency fund to attain financial security.
You know why the rich are getting richer day by day, it just because they know that money can't grow while you are sleeping. If you invest your money properly then you can earn more money over time. Don't put all your money in a low-interest savings account. Invest in something that allows you to earn more and higher.
It is very important to maintain your credit score that includes a good payment history, your debts and much more. This is basically a report that carries information about your history of borrowing money and how you are paying it back. Financial institutions are using this score to check how much you can borrow, how much you'll be charged in interest, and how many lines of credit (like credit cards, car loans, or mortgages) you can have.
Investing is important to create a large pool of money. So start small and learn about what you can do. Don't depend on others for your financial planning. Do research on your own and invest as per your needs.

Medical Thriller è una raccolta di tre romanzi brevi: Rapidamente scritto da Carlo Lucarelli, No smoking di Giampiero Rigosi e Una lunga quaresima di paura di Eraldo Baldini.
Il libro è stato pubblicato in Italia dalla Einaudi nel 2002.

Trama

Rapidamente
Mattei, killer professionista che si avvale dell'aiuto della quindicenne albanese Vesna, dalle abilità di ninja, riceve l'incarico di ricattare Elisa Carloni, giovane chimica farmaceutica che lavora per la multinazionale Max, spingendola a tradire la sua azienda sabotando la produzione del farmaco analgesico a cui sta lavorando. Elisa si accorge dapprima che qualcuno è entrato nel suo appartamento di Bologna mentre era assente poi, allertata dagli indizi, riesce a sfuggire all'agguato di Mattei grazie all'intervento del vicino di casa Marco, un giovane robusto che fa il buttafuori in una discoteca.
Prima di ripartire per Colonia, dove si trova il laboratorio della Max, Elisa telefona ai suoi genitori ad Ancona e scopre che il killer è stato da loro spacciandosi per un suo ex insegnante dell'università. A questo punto, temendo le ritorsioni del ricattatore sulla sua famiglia, la donna finge di stare al suo gioco ma in realtà organizza una trappola attirando Mattei in un altro appartamento pieno di webcam. Il killer, vistosi giocato, tenta di reagire ma viene reso inoffensivo. Elisa può riprendere serenamente il suo lavoro, intraprendendo al contempo un rapporto sentimentale con Marco.

No smoking
Il commissario Roccaforte, che ha da poco smesso di fumare, viene convocato nel cuore della notte ad indagare sull'omicidio del dottor Altieri, dirigente e ricercatore dell'azienda biotecnologica Matrix Bionca, ritrovato cadavere nel suo ufficio. Le persone che interroga nell'azienda gli comunicano diverse ipotesi di movente: l'amministratore delegato Stefano Dalle Grotte parla di una talpa che rivendeva all'esterno i segreti della ricerca e che Altieri avrebbe forse smascherato, la segretaria Milena Turri punta l'indice sul collaboratore Sgarzi che aveva fama di donnaiolo e necessità di denaro a causa dei suoi debiti di gioco, il dottor Sgarzi rivela che Altieri era in rotta con i vertici della società perché non condivideva la nuova linea aziendale e che la sera della sua morte aveva avuto un violento diverbio con l'altro dirigente Andrea Polese. Un'altra persona presente in azienda la sera dell'omicidio, Luciana Boschi, è irreperibile: su di lei si addensano i sospetti, tanto più che si appura che ultimamente essa aveva avuto a disposizione ingenti somme di denaro, mentre suo marito, col quale era in via di separazione, dichiara di non averne notizie da diverso tempo. Ulteriori indizi sembrano indicare che la donna abbia compiuto una fuga in treno verso la Svizzera; viene poi ritrovata la sua automobile, rubata da un ladro in un parcheggio presso la stazione di Bologna, con una chiave inglese insanguinata che risulta essere l'arma del delitto. Roccaforte però non è ancora convinto della ricostruzione, e il ritrovamento del cadavere della ricercatrice, sepolto in un bosco dell'Appennino bolognese, gli dà ragione. Egli individua come colpevole il marito, ingelosito dalla relazione adulterina tra la moglie e l'Altieri, spingendolo a confessare. Alla fine il commissario si concede una tanto sospirata sigaretta.

Una lunga quaresima di paura
Durante la festa della Segavecchia, che cade a metà Quaresima e nella quale a Ravenna si vive un piccolo posticipo di carnevale, una bambina di sette anni, Arianna Ferrero, viene rapita da un adulto con una maschera da demonio, mentre è di ritorno da una festa in maschera in compagnia della madre, della zia e della cuginetta. Viene poi ritrovato un messaggio in cui si annuncia che dopo ventun giorni, il giorno del venerdì santo, la bambina morirà. Il commissario Francesco Righetti, zio della piccola rapita, batte diverse possibili piste: quella del rapimento a scopo di estorsione o ricatto (suo cognato è il presidente della cooperativa di costruzioni "La ravennate", che ha vinto un appalto per la costruzione d'infrastrutture per l'alta velocità ferroviaria), quella del maniaco (dalla chiesa del complesso scolastico frequentato dalla bambina sono state rubate delle ostie consacrate e si sospetta che l'autore del furto sia un ex seminarista squilibrato che è spesso nella zona e potrebbe avere tendenze pedofile oltre che manie di tipo religioso) ed infine quella dello scambio di persona (ammettendo che il rapitore volesse invece prelevare la figlia del commissario per rivalersi su di lui). Le prime due piste sfociano in nulla di fatto; a favore della terza ipotesi raccoglie invece molti indizi Fedra, la sorella ventitreenne di Arianna, aspirante pittrice, che vive lo stillicidio dei giorni contando le pillole anticoncezionali che rimangono nel suo blister, al termine del quale dovrà dare al suo fidanzato una risposta sul cercare o meno di avere un figlio. La giovane si convince che in realtà il sequestratore volesse prelevare la figlia del commissario, per vendicarsi di un caso di corruzione che questi aveva portato allo scoperto quando lavorava alla questura di Rimini e per la quale un poliziotto era passato come capro espiatorio e si era suicidato in carcere. Presentatasi in questura per incontrare il commissario, s'imbatte invece nell'agente Caruso, al quale confida parte delle sue intuizioni, ignara che in realtà egli, già intimo amico del poliziotto suicida, sia il rapitore della fanciulla. Caruso tenta di uccidere Fedra su una banchina del porto ma è fermato da Righetti. Arianna può riabbracciare i suoi genitori e il fidanzato di Fedra decide di lasciarle più tempo per decidere sulle scelte di vita.
