Business Leaders Know the Climate Status Quo Is Untenable

The 'Orca' direct air capture and storage facility, operated by Climeworks AG, in Hellisheidi, Iceland, on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021. Startups Climeworks and Carbfix are working together to store carbon dioxide removed from the air deep underground to reverse some of the damage CO2 emissions are doing to the planet.
(Bloomberg) —
It's been 50 days since Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. A lot has changed since then, but viewed from a different angle, very little has changed. Russia now faces some of the stiffest sanctions ever devised — with major carveouts for oil, gas, and coal. The U.S. has banned the import of Russian oil, although it never imported a lot to begin with. The European Union, meanwhile, has bought from Russia some $35 billion worth of fossil fuels and counting since the invasion.
It's easy to get despondent: another crisis, another missed opportunity. Looking back, many of the European policy responses — or lack thereof — could best be explained by EU politicians thinking that Kyiv would fall quickly. It would all be over soon, and we could go back to regularly scheduled programming.
Kyiv didn't fall.
Call me hopelessly optimistic, but something is different. The longer this war of choice waged by Russian President Vladimir Putin has dragged on, the clearer it has become that the current situation is untenable. Nobody questions if things must change, just when and how. The differences in energy and outlook seem palpable to me. Perhaps it is a function of my spending the spring semester at a business graduate program instead of a policy school.
The way that many business leaders speak about the "threat" of climate policy can be jarring. It took me a while to get used to the fact that, in this world, "climate risk" primarily refers to the effects of climate policy on the bottom line, rather than those of climate change on lives and communities. But even in that there is good news: Most business leaders expect climate policy to go in one and only one direction (even if some try to delay action as long as possible, causing untold damage in the process). It's also good news that a growing number of countries and businesses have committed to achieving net-zero emissions, and that those pledges add up to limiting the increase in global average temperatures, if they're acted upon.
Cue the inevitable jokes about distant promises: "Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050." Skepticism is healthy. But so is seeing the enthusiasm among the next generation of private-sector leaders to be part of the solution.
Every time a student has walked into my office at Columbia Business School this spring (or signed up for a 6 a.m. morning run with their professor), it is with a proposal to fix one or another piece of the puzzle. There's the student with deep knowledge of commercial real estate who identified a gap in shifting the building sector to clean energy. His mission: to start a fund that closes that gap. The student with a fine arts background and sales experience at an auction house? She wants to put that background to work in the energy transition. The goal of the Nigerian student who's a chemical engineer and former consultant in the oil and gas sector? Help transform that industry.
Some of the transformation begins with business schools themselves. The three students who walked into my office on Wednesday with an "Open Letter on Climate Action at Columbia Business School" collected more than 200 signatures among fellow MBA students that same afternoon. The two climate-focused classes now taught at the school are woefully oversubscribed.
My own class this week was focused on offsets. Mere mention of offsets often invokes images of a broken system that lets polluters off the hook. Keep burning fossil fuels, Russian or otherwise, while finding the cheapest possible way to be able to put a tree on the annual report: Is that really the best we can do? The focus of our three-hour discussion was on getting offsets right. It helped that Nan Ransohoff, head of climate at Stripe Inc., dropped by for a discussion, the day after the company announced a new $925 million fund — paid into by the likes of Alphabet Inc. and McKinsey & Co. Inc. — to jumpstart the market for carbon removal technologies.
The students' most biting question was around the fund's exit strategy: "It's mostly philanthropy, right?" Yes and no. That's where policy comes in. It is also what another venture hopes to address, a $350 million fund announced yesterday and raised by LowerCarbon Capital, a firm founded four years ago by Chris and Crystal Sacca. Its goal is to help carbon removal startups and make money doing so.
Even investments on that scale will not "solve" climate change. Both Stripe and LowerCarbon Capital are clear about that. It will take trillions, most spent on scaling existing, already cheap technologies like building insulation, heat pumps, and solar and wind generation, all of which more than pay for themselves. There, too, is lots of excitement, showing business in the lead, with reactionary politicians grasping at ever smaller straws to try to delay the inevitable.
Action is still much too slow. Ask any climate scientist, or Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Getting the world off fossil fuels must be a much bigger priority than it is now. And business leadership can't replace policy, which is essential. But it does help transform climate policy from a risk into an opportunity.

No discomfort during your daily life.
The Kleersound HI-40i is a premium Personal Sound Aids that automatically boosts sound volume so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. A Hearing Aids can help people hear better in both quiet and noisy situations.
A Hearing Aid has three basic parts: a microphone, an amplifier, and a speaker. The Hearing Aid receives sound through the microphone; which converts the sound waves into electrical signals and sends them to the amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and then sends them to the ear through the speaker.
The circuitry in the Kleersound HI-40i series incorporates the best components available using modern FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) with SMD(Surface Mount Device) technology to ensure product reliability and sound quality without electrical interference.
What are amplifiers? What are hearing aids?
While hearing aids require 'customized fitting', based on audiogram (hearing test), PSAPs do not.
Amplifiers make ALL sounds louder, unlike hearing aids, which can differentiate between sounds and amplify them based on the characteristics of that sound. Hearing aids are programmed to make speech easier to hear and decipher. While amplifiers (PSAP) tend to over-amplify ALL sounds, including sounds you don't want to hear (i.e. background noise), and to fail to isolate voice frequencies well enough, high-quality digital hearing aids can NOT ONLY provide volume control BUT ALSO provide feedback cancellation and noise suppression because high-quality digital hearing aids use broadband technology and filter to precisely match amplification to the individual's unique hearing loss. That's how high-quality hearing aids can provide more clear sound through customized fitting.
According to FDA, while hearing aids are for those who suffers from hearing loss, PSAPs are not.
Hearing aids are medical devices, intended to compensate for hearing loss, and they are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to an FDA draft guidance issued in 2013, amplifiers (PSAP) are "intended to amplify environmental sound for non-hearing impaired consumers (i.e recreational activities such as hunting and bird watching)." The draft guidance adds that amplifiers should not be marketed as hearing aid replacements. Amplifiers are not FDA-approved hearing aids. If you find an amplifiers manufacturer claims it can be used to assist the hearing impaired, remember that the FDA does not consider amplifiers (PSAP) to be medical devices and has not issued standards for them.
Our products are FDA approved HEARING AIDS…NOT amplifiers.
We will provide COMPLIMENTARY customized fitting for you upon receipt of your hearing test result (audiogram) before shipment!
We are directly reaching out to consumers….while we offer you COMPLEMENTARY customized fitting. That's how we bring you the savings and make our hearing aids affordable!
Hearing Aids typically cost between $2500 and $4000 apiece. Numerous studies indicate that over 30 millions of Americans are suffering from some degrees of hearing loss. However, only small percentage of them end up purchasing hearing aids because of 'affordability'. We offer FDA approved high-quality digital hearing aids at the price of amplifiers (PSAP).
If you are in denial for the fact you are experiencing hearing loss and choose to 'deal with it', you could expose yourself for the bigger health risk. Just as you wear eye-glasses in order to correct 'blurry vision' problem, you need hearing aids to correct 'Hearing loss' problem. Plus, our 'in the canal' products are barely noticeable!
Download 'hearing test' app on your smartphone (android or Apple) and take the hearing test, then email the test result (audiogram) to us (info@kleersound.com) in jpg file or PDF file. Please be sure to include your name and address. We will provide COMPLIMENTARY fitting before we ship it to you.
Visit Audiologist near you and get an audiogram after hearing test. Email us (info@kleersound.com) the audiogram in jpg file (or PDF file) and we will do fitting for you before shipping.
Kleersound Premium Hearing Aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension of people who have mild to medium hearing loss. They are not intended to treat or cure hearing impairment diagnosed by a medical professional.
My nephew loves music A LOT. He listens to music 24/7 through earphone. When he finally showed signs of hearing loss, I suggested hearing aid. Of course, he hated that idea and thought I was joking. Let me put it this way: If you can't see things clearly, you put on a pair of eye-glasses with prescription. If you can't hear things clearly, you put on hearing aids with personalized fitting. Simple as that. When I got him Kleersound hearing aid for Christmas gift, he agreed to at least give it a try. Luckily, he's been less conscious about the ear piece since it is so small. Plus, he can hear things better. Most importantly, it didn't cost me much and came out as good uncle.
I noticed my dad showed all the symptoms of hearing loss past few years. He has turned up the volume of TV way too loud, wouldn't respond when I called him, couldn't understand me the first time and asked me over and over….When I suggested him to try hearing aid, he bristled at the idea. I knew he was in denial. After extensive research, I talked him into do online hearing test and got him Kleersound hearing aid. He loves about the size and quality & I love the price.
I bought couple of amplifiers before believing I would still be able to hear things better. YES, I could hear things more loud alright…everythings more loud including cars passing by and others talking on the phone…my head was spinning after forced to hear things I didn't wish to hear. This time I got myself Kleersound hearing aid. I got the hearing aid that was programmed to adjust my hearing level….for the price I had paid for those amplifiers…same price for better quality…Can't beat that!!
Love how it fits. Love the price. On top of that, personalized fitting at no extra cost? Wow!! I'd recommend this to anyone who needs hearing aid!
I have experienced hearing loss last few years due to ear infection. My mother is a longtime hearing aids user because of her hereditary hearing loss. She fell in love with Kleersound hearing aid for 1) size and 2) price. She thinks this hearing aid is as good as any hearing aid she has used before and MUCH cheaper. We both have used this product more than a year and happy with decision we made. Thank you, Kleersound!
The price is AMAZING considering what the device offers…I don't mean it is just cheap. In my opinion, it gives the most bang for buck among products I shopped around. I got this product for my grandma on her birthday last year and she has been very satisfied with it and we now have better conversation!

Spring Peepers are one of the harbingers of Spring. In fact, that's where the first part of their name comes from. The Peeper part comes from the sound that the males make to attract females. Their high pitched "Peeps!" can be heard from quite a distance. We're talking miles here. The males, who call from the edges of ponds and lakes, create their calls by inflating and deflating vocal sacs that are beneath their throats.
Last week, while walking through one of my favorite places, I stopped off at a freshwater pond in the middle of the woods. I could hear Spring Peepers everywhere. Their calls were coming from the far side of the pond as well as my side of the water. I could hear them to my left as well as my right. I could even hear some behind me, but try as I might, I could not locate a single Spring Peeper. They were all around me but I just couldn't find any.
I decided to sit by the edge of the pond and just wait to see what might come my way. Sometimes, that's what Nature Photography is: just waiting and watching. And listening, of course. I did a lot of listening that day. I spent over two hours by the pond listening and looking for those tiny frogs that I just could not find. I really, really wanted to get a shot of a male with its vocal sac inflated and calling. I had absolutely no luck.

Travel Guide Africa Comoros Moroni
Moroni is the capital and largest city of the Comoros with around 75,000 people living in this city which has been the capital of the country since 1962. The city is located on the western coast of Grande Comore island (the most northern island of the country) and forms the administrative, cultural and economic heart of the country and functions as a major port with connections to neighbouring islands as well. Although there are some places to stay and eat in the city, there really is not much for visitors to spend more time here.
Karthala Volcano
Moroni is a good base for a climb up the Karthala Volcano (2,361 metres), which boasts spectacular views of the still active crater. You can gaze inside and see the smoke rising. The volcano erupted quite recently, about three years ago. With the access road and the climb, you should allow several hours for the climb. An early start is advisable. Take plenty of water and perhaps some fruit with you.
Arab Quarter
The Arab Quater is made up by the neighbourhood around the port and the Ancienne Mosquée de Vendredi (old Friday mosque). It is a medina with narrow streets lined with buildings dating back to Swahili times. It much looks like the better known Stone Town on the island of Zanzibar although it is much smaller. Still, it is just as good and sees far few travellers. Especially the carved Swahili doors found on many houses are worth the stroll.
Other sights and activities
Moroni has many excellent beaches.
Nouvelle Mosquée de Vendredi
Both New Year's Days (January 1st and the Islamic New Year) are celebrated with much gusto in the Comoros. The Islamic New Year is of particular interest as it is marked by a wide range of activities that embrace the local culture and traditions, including religious rituals.
Comorian independence is celebrated every July 6 to commemorate the nation's freedom from colonialism. Like other events on the islands, the festivities are marked with good food, cultural presentations and merriment.
Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha or the Feast of the Sacrifice is a celebration of Abraham's willingness to give up his son (Ishmael) in obedience to God. It is an annual Islamic holiday observed by Muslims around the world and Comoros is no exception.
This feast marks the conclusion of the month-long fast (Ramadan) and is celebrated with all kinds of rituals, prayers, gifts, and lots of ceremonial food.
Christmas Day is observed by the Roman Catholic minority living in the Comoros with festive gatherings of friends and families.
The climate of Moroni is tropical with hot and humid weather year round and a rainy season from November to May. Temperatures usually hoover around 30 °C during the day and still above 20 °C at night and a regular sea breezes is a welcome feature sometimes. Occasionally though this breeze turns into a hurricane in the December to February period, so avoid going here during these months.
Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH) near Moroni receives a number of international flights. International destinations include Comores Aviation flights to and from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Nosy Be in Madagascar. Yemenia flies to Sana'a and Dar es Salaam and Nairobi is served by Kenya Airways and Mombasa with African Express Airways.
There are three taxi-brousse stations in Moroni. The northern taxi-brousse station, near the new market in Volo Volo, serves the north and east. Vehicles here go to Itsandra (20 minutes), the airport at Hayahaya (30 minutes), Mitsamiouli (one hour), and as far as M'beni on the northeast coast. For destinations in central Grande Comore, mainly Chomoni (40 minutes), taxis-brousses leave from the Chalima terminal, which is hidden away in the labyrinthine old town. To southern destinations such as Foumboni, taxis-brousses leave from the southern taxi-brousse station at Place Cobadjou, near the New Friday Mosque.
There are no official passenger service to and from Comoros but there are quite a few options to travel on cargo ships. For example, it is possible to travel to and from Madagascar and the Comoros by boat. You will need a lot of time and patience but it's doable. You might even be able to you find a ride on a yacht as a crew member. It's a tough journey so be prepared and take seasickness pills with you. Mombasa (Kenya) and Zanzibar (Tanzania) are the main places to look for cargo boats to Madagascar or the Comoros if you are coming from eastern Africa. It's also sometimes possible to find passage on a yacht heading from South Africa, Réunion or Mauritius and in extreme cases all the way from France to Mayotte or Madagascar. But that's only for the sea enthusiasts who want to avoid flying at all costs (or time).

Can Your Child's Student Loan Debts Turn Your Estate Planning Upside Down?
As he approaches 60, Mason's dreams of retirement have been shattered. He's done the math, and he will have dependent children living under his roof until he is almost 70 years old.
A recent article from CNN Money shares the story of the man described here. He and his wife suffered the death of their 27-year-old daughter. After their death, they became guardians to her three children, who were all under the age of 10 at the time. On top of that, they've also been struggling with the repayment of her student loan debts.
When their daughter started nursing school, her parents had been cosigners on loans taken from private lenders. The loans amounted to $100,000; and when the creditors started going after them following their daughter's death, they also needed to deal with late fees and steep interest rates. These troubles piled on the emotional devastation following their daughter's death and the financial difficulties of supporting three grandchildren.
They have since managed to work out a more favorable repayment arrangement with some of the private lenders; but money is still a struggle, and they've needed to do away with their retirement plans. Their estate planning also requires a complete overhaul.
For one thing, you need to look at the loan forgiveness terms any time you become a cosigner. For student loans, for example, private lenders aren't obligated to negotiate with you; they could demand all the money back. Even if your adult child is still alive, you may still be on the hook for the debts. For instance, if your child files for bankruptcy, creditors may go after you. This is especially true if your child files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; Chapter 13 bankruptcy may offer you a stay from creditors, but it isn't guaranteed.
Compared to private loans, a student loan from the government generally offers more favorable terms for forgiveness and repayment (especially in situations involving the death of you or your child). But it's critical that you read the fine print and figure out how much of an obligation to repay the debts you'd face as a cosigner. For example, when it comes to student loans, who is listed as the legal borrower on the agreement – you or your child?
The same holds true for any loan where you're a cosigner. Also, don't forget situations where you're a guarantor, backing someone up by agreeing to pay off a debt if the other person is unable to.
It's crucial that you consider your status as a cosigner or guarantor when working on your estate planning. When you contact us, we can give you advice about protecting assets from creditors and also making financial decisions that are most likely to benefit you and your loved ones in the long run.

extended compatibly.  All DOF structures use fixed-size types, so the
32-bit and 64-bit representations are identical and consumers can use
either data model transparently.

\subsection{Stable Storage Format}
\label{sec:dof-stable-storage}

\begin{figure}[h]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=.8\textwidth]{dof-stable-format}
  \caption{Stable Storage Format}
  \label{fig:dof-stable-storage-format}
\end{figure}

When a DOF file resides on stable storage it is stored in the format
shown in Figure~\ref{fig:dof-stable-storage-format}. The file header
stores meta-data including a magic number, data model for the
instrumentation, data encoding, and properties of the DIF code within.
The header describes its own size and the size of the section headers.
By convention, an array of section headers follows the file header,
and then the data for all loadable sections and sections which cannot
be loaded, also called unloadable sections.  This data layout permits
consumer code to easily download the headers and all loadable data
into the DTrace driver in one contiguous chunk, omitting other
extraneous sections.  DOF sections are used both for stable storage
and to pass data between user and kernel space, e.g. D programs are
sent into the kernel as a \verb|dof_prog_rt| section.

The section headers describe the size, offset, alignment, and section
type for each section.  Sections are described using a set of \verb|#defines|
that tell the consumer what kind of data is expected.  Sections can
contain links to other sections by storing a \verb|dof_secidx_t|, an index
into the section header array, inside of the section data structures.
The section header includes an entry size so that sections with data
arrays can grow their structures.

The DOF data itself can contain many snippets of DIF (i.e. more than
one DIF object or DIFO), which are represented themselves as a
collection of related DOF sections.  This allows us to change the set
of sections associated with a DIFO over time, and also allows us to
encode DIFOs that contain different sets of sections.  When a DOF
section wants to refer to a DIFO, it stores the \verb|dof_secidx_t| of
a section of type \verb|DOF_SECT_DIFOHDR|.  This section's data is
then an array of \verb|dof_secidx_t|'s which in turn denote the
sections associated with this DIFO.

This loose coupling of the file structure (header and sections) to the
structure of the DTrace program itself (enabling control block
descriptions, action descriptions, and DIFOs) permits activities such
as relocation processing to occur in a single pass without having to
understand D program structure.

Finally, strings are always stored in ELF-style string tables along
with a string table section index and string table offset.  Therefore
strings in DOF are always arbitrary-length and not bound to the
current implementation.

There are a few things that I need to bring to everybody's notice.
Street name changes. Quite soon there should be some notices placed around the parish about proposed changes to road names. These relate, on the whole, to a request that the parish meeting made to the district council a few years ago and although the changes were agreed, they were not made. In the circumstances I have recently spoken a number of times to those responsible for naming our roads and the notices that will be put up are a first step in bringing about the changes we asked for. As the roads concerned are all non-residential and the name changes are to those that enjoy both historic provenance and common usage, nobody will be directly affected in any way. It will however be a great help to the emergency services when responding to a call if both the caller and the official maps are using the same road names for the location of an incident. I have included an explanation of the changes proposed in a document on the parish website www.hoeandworthing.co.uk (with an accompanying map) and there will be a one month window to submit comments from the date that the district council places the notices. Please let me know if you have any query or comment about this.
Billingford Lakes. In the last parish update I referred to the resubmitted planning application at Billingford Lakes and that unless representations were received from parishioners I would go ahead and prepare a response indicating the only new documents in the re-submission tended to support the previous objections our parish meeting had made. In the absence of representations to the contrary the response was forwarded to the local planning authority after being approved by our planning committee. The response is also available on our website.
Offshore windfarm. There are developing plans to install cables from offshore windfarms to Necton, passing through our parish on a direct route between Northall Green and Dillington. In order to gain an accurate picture of the impact of the proposals on the ground I recently arranged to meet with the developers and came away confident that I was fully abreast of the project details proposed to date . The essential points are that all topical disturbance locally will be temporary, the main work will take place over two years commencing in 2021 and the intention is that the section running through our parish will be wholly re-instated by the conclusion of works. Decisions have just been made to adopt the least disruptive of two development options available, which will minimise the width of the cable corridor as it passes this way. There is not room to expand further here but I have established a good liaison for resolving any concerns so please let me know if you have any.
Finally. Well done and thank you to the events team for last month's successful quiz night and in particular to Sally Dearing who arranged the questions and cooked the super food. Sally teamed up with Mike Mullins for the cooking and they will be making this a permanent arrangement when they marry in May. Fortunately the wedding is near the end of the month and so will not stop Sally taking the minutes, which she does so well, at the next parish meeting on 16th (7.30pm in the parish meeting room or 7.00pm for those who want to start with a hot drink).


Lila Cole plays a tune on a wall-to-wall Music Matrix at the Children's Museum of NH.
Mid-winter's chill has set in and you feel like you've visited every indoor play gym within a 50-mile radius. Looking for someplace new to take the kids? Make your way to a museum. Throughout New England, museums, both large and small, go out of their way to provide family-friendly programming and fun activities all winter long. Check out this sampling of some regional favorites for kids.
The state's premier destination for art lovers, Manchester's Currier Museum, also serves as a welcoming winter hot spot for families. Besides browsing one the best art collections in New England, the museum hosts Creative Studio Saturday, an opportunity for families to take part in hands-on learning about a certain artist or type of art, and a monthly story time for children ages 3-5 with added art activity. These programs are included for free with regular museum admission. Throughout the winter months, the Currier also has art classes for older children, teens and adults.
Bonus: Did you know that the Currier Museum offers free general admission for NH residents before noon every second Saturday of the month?
If you prefer science museums, then visit the SEE Science Museum, located in Manchester's Mill complex. The foul weather magnet for kids offers hands-on exhibits covering everything from forces, light, and sound to electricity, simple machines and more. Don't miss the permanent LEGO installation with a scaled Manchester millyard that consists of more than 3 million LEGO bricks. In addition to the permanent LEGO exhibit, don't miss the brand-new BiologYou exhibit. Families will love to watch as coordinated lights introduce the amazing structure of our human code. Visitors share laughs when they discover that they share 30% of their DNA with a worm! Using the Cell Explorer, visitors find that DNA is in every one of their cells. From DNA to cells to tissues, visitors learn how their secret code allows their bodies to make everything they need.
Conveniently located right off the runway of the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, this museum includes a flight simulator and informative exhibits about New Hampshire natives who made their mark in the world aviation. The museum runs education programs and special exhibits, movie nights and story times throughout the year. One other reason to stop by? The close-up view of airplanes as they land and take off is one that you won't soon forget.
The venerable Children's Museum of NH in Dover is the best-known children's museum in the state, and for good reason. With two floors of interactive fun and hands-on learning, including a separate play area for younger visitors and frequent special presentations and activities, this museum has enough going on to make for an all-day winter escape. The Children's Museum has also spent a great deal of effort incorporating STEM and STEAM programs into their daily lineup.
If you haven't made your way to the Cheshire Children's Museum in Keene, then you should absolutely put it on your winter to-do list. Conveniently located in the Colony Mill Marketplace, the museum is filled with those "real life" exhibits – including a grocery store, dentist's office, radio station and vet clinic – that keep kids occupied for hours with hands-on fun.
This North Conway museum invites kids to put on puppet shows, dress-up in the drama center, play with trains, climb into a life-size tree house, explore outer space, and more. This museum is geared toward the 7 and under crowd and focuses on imaginative play.
Bonus: the museum is in the heart of North Conway's charming downtown, making it easy to walk to nearby restaurants and shops.
When you're done hitting the slopes, then make sure you take a few moments and visit the New England Ski Museum, located at the foot of Cannon Mountain in Franconia. This museum is free to visit and offers a very interesting look at the history of skiing in the Granite State. And, perhaps it's the buzz surrounding the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, but we know you'll love stopping in to check out five of Bode Miller's Olympic medals on display.
Bonus: The New England Ski Museum has officially outgrown its original home in Franconia and has expanded its operation to North Conway.
At this museum, families can get a glimpse into the important contributions once made by country doctors, as well as New Hampshire's agricultural and rural past, and highlight ways you can learn from these histories. From historic handcrafts to hearth-side cooking and from farm chores to super-cute animals, there's something for all ages here. The Remick Museum also boasts some wonderful monthly and seasonal events, making it the perfect year-round museum.
Fun fact: The Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is the only country doctor museum in New England and one of only three country doctor museums in the United States.
Taking a trip south of the border? Head to Worcester for a visit to an innovative indoor-out museum and science center. Interactive animal and science exhibits, planetarium shows, and outdoor nature learning trails make this a fun place to visit no matter what the weather. Special toddler and preschooler activities and story times take place every Wednesday.
What happens on a traditional rural New England farm in wintertime? Find out with a visit to the Billings Farm and Museum (open weekends throughout the winter and daily starting in April). There is much to see and learn here, but a highlight for kids is a chance to visit the cows, work horses, sheep, and chickens peacefully passing the winter months in the farm's spacious barn. There's also a children's story time and sleigh rides when weather permits.
The Montshire Museum of Science is a hands-on museum, spanning across 100 acres, that boasts more than 140 exhibits relating to the natural and physical sciences, ecology, and technology. Families will love the aquarium area, the science of bubbles, making music with different instruments and exploring the outdoor trail areas.
For something completely different on the kid-friendly museum scene, head to the International Cryptozoology Museum, the only museum in the world dedicated to showcasing hidden or unknown animals, including yetis, Bigfoot, lake monsters and sea serpents. An eight-foot-tall Bigfoot greets visitors and exhibits examine the evidence for why these creatures might really exist. Bottom line: this is the kind of place that can make even the most jaded of teens put down their phones.
Three floors of fun and imaginative fun await your family at this popular Portland museum. Kids will love the indoor playscape, farmers market, fire truck, lobster boat and toddler park. Additional exhibits include an indoor look at nature as well as a touch tank.

Basics of Medicare explained in SEARHC presentation
Andrea Thomas, patient health benefits manager with SEARHC, gave a presentation at the Irene Ingle Public Library last Thursday on the basics of Medicare. As many people know, Medicare is a government-run health insurance program. There is a common misconception that Medicare is reserved only for people 65-years-old and older. Thomas said in her presentation that this is not true. In fact, anyone under the age of 65-years-old with certain disabilities, end-stage renal disease, or Lou Gehrig's disease also qualify for Medicare. The purpose of her presentation, she said, was to help people be...

Pompeo says administration's 'maximum pressure' strategy on Iran is 'absolutely' working
by Justine Coleman - 01/05/20 10:19 AM ET
Secretary of State Pompeo says President Trump's "maximum pressure" strategy on Iran is "absolutely" working in the wake of a number of attacks culminating in the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. airstrike.
ABC's "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos asked Pompeo if the strategy was working, citing a "spate of attacks" in response to the pressure campaign. Stephanopoulos added Iran had been following the 2015 nuclear deal before the U.S. withdrew from the agreement and shifted to the current strategy.
{mosads}"Absolutely," the secretary of state responded, adding that the "terrible nuclear deal" led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in Syria, Shia militia gaining more power and missiles firing from Yemen.
"All of these things, these are things that were ongoing activities, resourced and funded by the trade and the money that was provided under the JCPOA," Pompeo said, referencing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action known as the Iran nuclear deal.
Pressed on whether the "maximum pressure" strategy is working with Iran, Sec. of State Mike Pompeo tells @gstephanopoulos "absolutely."
"We're working diligently to execute our strategy to convince the Iranian regime to act like a normal nation." https://t.co/JKyk5kIpBF pic.twitter.com/Fnb0sFJIeB
— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) January 5, 2020
He called it "crazy" that under the deal, Iran would have been permitted to engage in the arms trade in October of this year.
"That was the deal we inherited," he said. "It's a place we found ourselves, and we're working diligently to execute our strategy to convince the Iranian regime to act like a normal nation."
Tensions with Iran were further strained after an Iranian-backed militia allegedly killed an American citizen, prompting retaliation from the U.S. against militia members, which in turn led to supporters of the militia in Iraq to protest the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
President Trump also approved the killing of Soleimani last week and Iran has threatened retaliation.
The Trump administration removed the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and imposed sanctions on the country.

She's a down-to-earth Northerner... she's incredibly funny and emotional, with a glorious voice." So Lynda Lee-Potter of THE DAILY MAIL described Doncaster soprano Lesley Garrett. That warmth will be in evidence when she joins The Chesterfield Philharmonic Choir in a summer celebration.
The choir has a long and rich history of performing a broad range of music in its 52 seasons and is proud of its desire to keep moving and challenging its singers and audiences, whilst encouraging new talent. 40 years ago we welcomed Lesley Garrett as a guest soprano; having enjoyed watching her career closely ever since, the choir now welcomes her back, 'one of our own'.
With additional special guests this concert is set to showcase the warmth of Lesley's personality and the musicality and performance of the choir. 52 seasons young and always moving forwards.

A gated community will replace a vacant Delray Beach golf course. Some question whether that's the best use of the land.
By Wells Dusenbury
DELRAY BEACH — As Delray Beach continues to face a housing crunch, developers plan on transforming a vacant golf course on Atlantic Avenue into a 79-home gated community.
But the project has sparked some concerns about whether upscale townhomes are the best use of the city's scarce available land.
A 37-acre course located between Military Trail and Interstate 95, Legacy at Sherwood Park Golf Course has remained vacant since 2018, slowly turning into an "eyesore." The project, which is being overseen by Pulte Group and Urban Design Studio, would reside in between two neighboring housing developments to the east, west and north of the golf course.
Chris Davey, a member of the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Board, raised concerns with the project during a meeting. "A developer is going to come in and take [nearly] 40 acres of land and build approximately 70-80 homes with zero affordable housing," Davey said.
RELATED: It's already tough to find an affordable apartment in Delray Beach. It's only going to get harder. »
"We're talking about [nearly] 40 acres of open space within the city and we're going to put in a very tight community."
At roughly 16.5 square miles, Delray Beach is geographically a relatively small city — just half the size of neighboring Boca Raton. According to city documents, 98% of Delray Beach is already built out, creating a premium on available land.
While Davey said affordable housing isn't a requirement for the development, he cited other projects that have allocated space for workforce housing. The Linton, a 277-unit apartment complex in development on Linton Avenue, will have 20% of its units designated for workforce housing.

Rob Long, a member of the Planning and Zoning Board, said he's a "big proponent of affordable housing," but emphasized it's not a requirement for the proposed land.
"We need housing in general," Long said during a public meeting. "It's not an argument between affordable housing and single-family housing. It's an argument between single-family housing and a vacant golf course.

"We're talking about open land in this pedantic, sort of silly way like it's numbers. It's not usable land. No one's using it right now. It's an eyesore."
Across the United States, many golf courses have shuttered over the years, often with developers turning those massive parcels into homes. In the past 15 years, more than 1,600 18-hole courses have closed, according to the National Golf Foundation in Jupiter.
A representative from Urban Design Group declined to comment to the South Florida Sun Sentinel and Pulte Group could not be reached for comment.
Residents at the neighboring community support the project, said John Colasacco, President of the Sherwood Forest Homeowners Association. 87% of the residents voted in favor of the proposal, Colasacco said during a public meeting.

Not all community members are in favor of the proposal, though. Mark Shinkonis, who lives adjacent to the golf course, told city officials he bought his home because of the open space and he doesn't want "people to be looking in my back window."
"We need a green space in this city," Shinkonis said. "We need space. We need a little room to breathe, to drive around. Or else it's not going to be a very nice place for anybody."
The project has received initial approval from the Planning and Zoning Board, but still needs to be approved by the City Commission.

Arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation helps us with the assessment of a patient's respiratory gas exchange and acid-base balance. It forms a key part of the management of sick patients and provides invaluable information, particularly when combined with a thorough clinical assessment.
In order to properly interpret an ABG an understanding of each of the key components of an arterial blood gas is necessary.
The pH of a solution is a figure expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a logarithmic scale on which 7 is neutral, lower values are acidic, and higher values are alkaline. The scale is inversely proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
The body's pH is maintained within a range of 7.35 to 7.45 under normal circumstances and this homeostasis is achieved through the buffering and excretion of acids. Important buffers include plasma proteins and bicarbonate extracellularly, and proteins, phosphate, and haemoglobin intracellularly.
This buffering system provides only a temporary solution to the production of acids, and once the buffers are consumed acids will begin to accumulate. A system of acid excretion therefore exists, which allows time for the regeneration of buffers. This system occurs via the kidneys and the lungs, with hydrogen ions being excreted via the kidney and carbon dioxide being excreted via the lungs.
If both the buffering and renal excretion systems are overwhelmed then the pH will fall and a metabolic acidosis will occur. If the ability of the lungs to excrete carbon dioxide is compromised then a respiratory acidosis will occur.
Partial pressure is the pressure that would be exerted by one of the gases in a mixture if it occupied the same volume on its own. For example, air at sea level has an approximate pressure of 100 kPa, oxygen composes 21% of this, and therefore oxygen has a partial pressure of 21 kPa at sea level. If the total pressure of the mixture is doubled, in this case to 200 kPa, the percentage of oxygen within the mixture will remain 21%, but the partial pressure of oxygen will now be 42 kPa.
Bicarbonate is the most important buffer and is produced by the kidneys. It is a base, which is the opposite of an acid. The normal range for bicarbonate is 22 – 26 mmol/l.
In the presence of a chronic acidosis the kidneys produce additional bicarbonate to maintain the pH within the normal range.
The base excess is a measure of the amount of excess acid or base present in the blood as a consequence of metabolic derangement. It is calculated as the amount of strong base that would need to be added or subtracted from a substance in order to return it to a normal pH of 7.40. The normal range for base excess is -2 – 2 mmol/l.
As we have already learned, the pH of the human body is tightly maintained within a range of 7.35 – 7.45 via respiratory and metabolic compensatory mechanisms.
Respiratory compensation occurs in response to metabolic acidosis. The change in pH is detected by central chemoreceptors in the medulla, and peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies. This results in an increase in the rate and depth of respiration, which in turn increases CO2 excretion in an attempt to normalise the pH.
Metabolic compensation occurs in response to respiratory acidosis, for example CO2 retention in chronic lung disease. In these circumstances bicarbonate is retained by the kidneys in an attempt to normalise the pH. Unlike respiratory compensation, this process occurs slowly over a period of a few days.
Chronic type II respiratory failure: evidence of chronic respiratory disease, high PaCO2, normal pH, and high bicarbonate (>26 mmol/l).
Acute-on-chronic type II respiratory failure: an acute deterioration in an individual with significant pre-existing type II respiratory failure, high PaCO2, low pH, and high bicarbonate (>26 mmol/l).
…a very help ful basic knowledge.
I always love to read every stuff that you send me to improve my knowledge. Thanks for great work as ever.
Explained a very informative and organised way about the basic knowledge of ABG and its interpretation.


I made Scout from TF2 as a part of my series to make every character in TF2 to a minecraft skin. Enjoy.
Made in paint.NET and SkinEdit.
Fixed to make it work with new preveiwer.
Could You make a version without the backpack-like thing with the default hat?
Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines and brother, I hurt people.
leostereo the best skin maker EVER!
Scout: *hits heavy in balls with bat* BOINK!
Scout *hits heavy in back of head with bat* BONK!
If you were from where I'm from, you'd be f**king dead!
Spy: You liked scout, he ran fast and died a virgin!
Spy Sappin' Mah Scout Oh Wait HECK NO!
Leostereo I have sent you a very important message please read it as soon as possible. This is not a skin request so please do not delete it. Thank you.
I though you were gonna make the series in the same may you did your first engineer,im not saying this is bad,im just saying i prefered that style more.
Do you use SkinEdit or Mcskin3D?
I want a Minecraft Version of Meet the Scout now ._.
I..I don't Even know how to start with you.I Mean,do you Even know who you're Talking to?!
Yes, an annoying person that runs crazily fast and can deny gravity by jumping twice while shooting people with a scattergun. How's your day?
You have great stuff. I'm definitely subscribing to you!
I need help with my texture pack please help me!
Hey Leosterio, slightly off topic question, are you in some sort of tf2 team? I am creating a 6v6 team, which is relatively casual, as I have very little free time, but I really would like a few good players. You wouldn't have to do much, just maybe the occational friendly 6v6 match. Would you be interested?
Are all of you European? I don't want to play with 100+ ping.
Are you guys good? A bit of a weird question, but I want to play with people who have experience, people with several hundred hours of gameplay.
2: skill level varies, as the team is not yet complete properly. I play medic for the team, and am quite good. We have a good soldier, who can also play quite good scout. We have a not bad soldier (my brother, but he is improving), and apart from that, the other players are basically placeholders, as they aren't great. That is why I am looking for players, especially a demoman. We also have a guy with over 5000 hours of gameplay, who plays sniper/spy, but he can scout, then offclass a bit.
Also, the team is not very active. We are only a small team who play in a few friendly matches at the moment, due to the fact that I am busy with AS level revision at the moment. We do play in friendly matches, and may one day enter competitions. That means that being in the team wouldn't require much of your time, but would be fun.
Ps. If you happen to know any good scouts, we really need some.
Grass grows, birds fly and brother, I hurt people!
You were from, where I was from, Ud be f***ing dead!
Wow super cute teenage girl skin with very nice outfit and cool smile!


Insurers are just starting to use intelligent machines—information systems that sense, comprehend, act and learn—to automate some of the more routine, rules-based tasks that take up so much of managers' time. The vast majority (85 percent) of managers believe such machines will make them more effective as digital insurers and their work more interesting.
Yet many managers have an incomplete understanding of what they will need to thrive in a partnership with intelligent machines as part of the workforce of the future. They recognize the importance of technical skills and strategic expertise, but may be overlooking the human element. This infographic shows what insurance executives think about the shift to intelligent machines.

The High Court in Freetown presided over by Justice Miatta M. Samba has convicted and sentenced three notorious armed robbers to seven years imprisonment each without the option of fine for offenses of conspiracy and robbery.
Ibrahim Turay, Mohamed Fadika and Gassimu Koroma were found guilty of conspiring together with other persons still at large to steal properties from the complainant Mary Daffay worth over Twelve Million Leones. They are indicted on two count criminal charges bordering on conspiracy and robbery both contrary to the laws of Sierra Leone.
Upon arraignment in the High Court, the robbers pleaded not guilty after listening and understanding the content of the charges and subsequently trial commenced in which the prosecution called several witnesses and tendered many exhibits.
Their journey to prison started when they were arrested for several robbery cases and were preliminarily investigated at the Ross Road Magistrate courts' east of Freetown.
The prosecuting counsel, Ahmed G. M. Bockarie says the convicts being known for their notoriety on the 5th September 2015 at Hook Street, east of Freetown, armed with cutlasses and broken bottles intimidated their victim Mary Daffay and robbed her of her DVD player, two mobile phones, television sets and other valuable properties worth over Twelve Million Leones (Le12m).
The prosecution also informed the court that the robbers were currently serving a jail term for another robbery offence and urged the judge to take it into consideration.
However, Counsel representing the convicted persons, Cheryl Sembie Blake made a plea of mitigation praying the court to have mercy on her clients, stating that they have learnt their lesson and called for them to be pardon.
In her judgment, Justice Samba ruled that the prosecution has proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and subsequently convicted all the accused persons.
She stated that the rate of armed robbery in the country is alarming and that she is sending a strong message to the general public that anyone caught and brought before the court for such offence, will face the full wrath of the law.
Justice Samba sentenced each of the convicts to seven years imprisonment to be run concurrently and ordered that the sentence must commence on the 19th July 2020 after they have completed serving a jail term earlier given them by Justice Momoh Jah Stevens at the Ross Road High Court in Freetown for a similar crime.
Meanwhile, for the hoodlums, it is night at noon as they are currently going through sleepless nights, having been incarcerated at the Pademba Road Male Correctional Centre in Freetown till 2027.
