Justice League: The New Frontier (2008) Movie Review By Stephen McLaughlin
May 26, 2018 Movie Burner Entertainment	Leave a comment
Director: Dave Bullock (as David Bullock)
Writers: Stan Berkowitz, Darwyn Cooke (additional material)
Stars: David Boreanaz, Miguel Ferrer, Neil Patrick Harris
Justice League: The New Frontier is set in the 1950s during the paranoia of the Cold War and it's propaganda. A new generation of superheroes with a hostile government and population that doesn't trust them must join forces with the community's active veterans to fight a menace to Earth.
The opening narration comes from a mysterious force which has monitored humanity grow in strength and violence and on the brink of self destruction and it has decided it has to eliminate the problem. I liked this sequence which has become a common trend in movies of the past decade and in particular superhero movies with an opening narration before the proper opening titles and credits.
What I got out of this animated movie was a lot of short plots involving Superman, Wonder Woman, Bat-Man and The Flash. Most of this came across as a reason just to make sure the main heroes are there but for me it was really about condensed origin stories for Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern. I'm already familiar with the latter and I was intrigued to find out more about this mysterious alien that I can honestly say I knew nothing about.
Again I appreciated what the animators goal was for this film and that was to give the feel and look to the Golden Age of these classic characters which I felt they achieved. Yes, to be fair it is probably is a step down from the previous release Superman / Doomsday in regards to fluidity as that movie 's animation was fast and slick. Justice League: The New Frontier was a little more rigid and compact with less angular shots on the drawings but I do feel this was to keep with the look and feel of the 1950's versions of these characters.
One of the many things that I enjoy about the DC Animated Series is the array of actors the show up on these films. Justice League: The New Frontier brags the likes of David Boreanaz (Hal Jordan), Miguel Ferrer (J'onn J'Jonzz / Martian Manhunter), Neil Patrick Harris (Barry Allen / The Flash), John Heard (Ace Morgan), Lucy Lawless (Wonder Woman), Kyle MacLachlan (Superman), Kyra Sedgwick (Lois Lane) and Brooke Shields (Carol Ferris) this ensemble of talented actors lending their voices to the animated films speaks volumes of how far comic book films have came in the past 10 to 15 years. The cast across the board were really good and I appreciated the fact that for well known actors none of them were screaming for the limelight as all of their voices never stood out, and I mean that in a good and deliberate way from them.
Overall, Justice League: The New Frontier should be commended for keeping with a lot of comic book traditions and not feeling the urge to move away from its style. The main plot was fairly run of the mill and possibly a little predictable in a sense but that may have been down to try and cram as many characters into a 75 Minutes animated film, which I can equally appreciate the audience expects from a movie titled The Justice League and what was delivered by the film makers. Yes, it may have suffered a bit in its characters in this sense as the likes of Robin is merely a cameo and Aquaman only shows up at the end with one line, which is more than the poor Green Arrow gets with no lines whatsoever. Having said this, I still enjoyed it. Not as much as Superman/ Doomsday but nevertheless it was worth a watch but I do feel it was one made specifically more for the comic book fans. Recommendable.

50 years of heritage at SME has been rebranded for the future
Plymouth, Mich., – SME, a professional consulting firm for the geosciences, materials and the environment, announced both an official name change as well as a new branding motif in a March 2015 rollout.
Formerly known as Soil and Materials Engineers, Inc., but legally doing business as SME for years, the company has decided to shake the excess words and be known as SME in 2015 and beyond. Soil and Materials Engineers, Inc. was cumbersome and gave an impression the firm's services were more limited than the wide range actually offered.
Accompanying the name change is a complete rebrand. SME's new logo was purposefully derived from the nautilus structure. The spiral shape illustrates SME's blend of technical expertise and concern for the natural environment. The warm yellow and red colors convey the enthusiasm and passion SME team members strive to bring to their work. Varying shades of blue represent the variety of expertise across the firm. As the basis of the new logo, the nautilus form symbolizes the process of converting natural materials into strong structures - similar to the contribution SME brings to their projects.
Updated brand collateral has been in the marketplace since March 1. A revamped web presence, including a renovated website and the creation of Google+ and YouTube pages, is ongoing and will be completed in the coming months.
SME provides engineering and consulting services for developing new sites or redeveloping existing brownfield sites; constructing buildings, roads and bridges; and acquiring, rehabilitating or managing existing facilities. SME assists clients at every stage of development and ownership in the following areas: construction materials services, environmental, geotechnical, pavements, building materials, and engineering design. Since their opening 50 years ago, SME has completed projects at over 85,000 sites and has grown to 240 team members in ten offices throughout the Midwest.
About SME: SME helps build a better world with innovative, practical and sustainable solutions for the natural and built environments through environmental, geotechnical and materials consulting and design services provided in the Great Lakes region and around the globe. SME's extensive experience includes pavement engineering, roof design, facility assessments, geotechnical engineering evaluations, environmental assessments, brownfield redevelopment consulting, and more. The firm is consistently recognized for its pioneering work in transforming blighted and contaminated sites into healthy, productive, and sustainable new uses that contribute to their communities.

Q: Water normals don't offset I am working on my water shader but I have run into some problems. It looks like my normals aren't getting the same offset as my vertexes. You can see a white plane belof my water where the shadow of the water is cast upon, exept another white plane which is not a object but most likely the normals of my water mesh that didn't move block a part of the shadow.

A:
You can see a white plane belof my water where the shadow of the water
  is cast upon, exept another white plane which is not a object but most
  likely the normals of my water mesh that didn't move block a part of
  the shadow.

I tried your shader and I can't see any plane, except the one I add to a scene to receive the casted shadow. In any case, water's normals don't have anything to do with the plane.

It looks like my normals aren't getting the same offset as my
  vertexes

Again, not sure what you mean here. Offset has no effect on normals, because they express an orientation, not a position.
If you mean that the projected shadow on the plane, doesn't account for the vertex offset, it's because the auto generated shadow caster pass, can't take in consideration the vertex offset. So you probably need to explicitly implement it.
Something like:
Pass
    {
        Name "ShadowCaster"
        Tags { "LightMode" = "ShadowCaster" }

        Fog {Mode Off}
        ZWrite On ZTest Less Cull Off
        Offset 1, 1

        #pragma vertex vert
        #pragma fragment frag
        #pragma fragmentoption ARB_precision_hint_fastest
        #pragma multi_compile_shadowcaster
        #include "UnityCG.cginc"

        v2f vert( appdata_full v )
        {
            v2f o;
            //TRANSFER_SHADOW_CASTER(o) this is how default shadow are casted
            o.pos = ...;// put here your calculation taking into account the vertex offset. Basically repeating the same calculation you wrote for forward pass in regards to vertex position

          return o;
        }

        float4 frag( v2f i ) : COLOR
        {
            fixed4 texcol = tex2D( _MainTex, i.uv );
            clip( texcol.a - _Cutoff );
            SHADOW_CASTER_FRAGMENT(i)
        }
        ENDCG
    }

The World Famous - Tower Bridge Vault Bar
50 -70's
80 – 90's
2000 Onward
HomeHistory
Prior to building the bridge it could take half a day for the ship owners or merchants to travel by road from one side of the Thames to the other. To alleviate this inefficiency the Corporation of London decided to build another river crossing. The "Special Bridge or Subway Committee" was formed in 1876, and launched a public competition to design a new crossing.
The chief architect of the corporation was tasked with developing a specification and managing the competition. This head architect of the corporation was non other than the architect and designer of Leadenhall Market (featured in the first Harry Potter movie as Diagon Alley).
Over 50 designs were put forward for consideration, (some of which you can see when you visit the Tower Bridge Exhibition). All options were considered; a tunnel, but the technology was still in its infancy and had proven else where on the Thames been incredibly expensive; a high road way bridge, but it would have been impractical for the horses to pull their wagons and carriages up and over the bridge. Therefore the only practical option was to build a moving road way bridge.
In October 1884 Horace Jones, in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, put forward their final design for Tower Bridge which was adjudged by the "Special Bridge or Subway Committee" chaired by a Mr Horace Jones as the winning design.
The bridge took a further 8 years to build and contains 11,000 tones of steel, as well as Portland stone and Cornish granite; unfortunately the great man did not live to see one of the great marvels of the modern industrial world completed.
History of the vault.
Originally the vault was the coal store for the engine rooms, coal would be unloaded from barges from the Thames directly into the space you are now standing. It would then be ferried across the road in railed wagons into the engine rooms to feed the boilers that drove the hydraulic accumulators that open and close the bridge.
The bridge converted from coal and steam to oil and electricity in 1976 and the Horace Jones vault no longer had purpose as a coal store it was therefore converted into the Garage for the "Bridge Masters" car before being eventually converted into a gift shop which closed in 2001.
In 2003 we began a 3.5 year project to convert the dingy disused space into the Vault Bar. the bar opened in 2007

Q: Floating point division returns integer numbers I want to calculate the average of two floating point numbers, but whatever the input, I am getting an integer returned.
What should I do to make this work?
public class Program
{
    public static float Average(int a, int b)
    {
        return (a + b) / 2;
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Average(2, 1));
    }
}

A: The trick is to write the expression as 0.5 * a + 0.5 * b, which also obviates the potential for int overflow (acknowledge Dmitry Bychenko).
Currently your expression is evaluated in integer arithmetic, which means that any fractional part is discarded.
In setting one of the values in each term to a floating point literal, the entire expression is evaluated in floating point.
Finally, if you want the type of the expression to be a float, then use
0.5f * a + 0.5f * b

The f suffix is used to denote a float literal.

A: return (a + b) / 2F; tells the compiler to treat the number as a float, otherwise it will be treated as an int.

A: Use this:
public static float Average(int a, int b)
{
    return (float)(a + b) / 2;
}

A: There're two problems with your code

*

*Evident one - Integer division - e.g. 1 / 2 == 0 not 0.5 since result must be integer

*Hidden one - Integer overflow - e.g. a + b can overflow int.MaxValue and you'll get negative result

The most accurate implementation is
public static float Average(int a, int b)
{
    return 0.5f * a + 0.5f * b;
}

Tests:
Average(1, 2);                       // 1.5
Average(int.MaxValue, int.MaxValue); // some large positive value

A: You can use:
(float)(a + b) / 2.0

This will return float
Sorry, if anyone has answered the same way (I did not read all answers)

Consultants have recommended that developers of the privately financed second Tyne road tunnel go ahead with a two lane rather than a four lane crossing.
Traffic modelling carried out for the Port of Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Authority showed that a four lane tunnel would need a huge public subsidy to keep tolls down and traffic levels up. The new tunnel will take southbound traffic under the Tyne, running parallel to the existing two way bored tunnel which will be converted to one way traffic when the second crossing is finished.

Big 5- Stand Deals
Lufthansa buys two Genie articulating boom lifts
International airline company Deutsche Lufthansa AG has purchased two Genie Z-34/22 N electric articulating boom lifts. The machines were supplied by Huntraco Zrt: an authorised distributor of Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs) in Hungary.
The units will support the maintenance of Lufthansa's aircraft at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. Both machines have been equipped with specially adapted aircraft protection packages.
Modern aircraft maintenance requires swift checks to be conducted on the tarmac, and a variety of heavier, longer-term duties have to be carried out in the hanger. The German airline, however, is confident that its newly acquired boom lifts are up to the challenge.
"We first started renting Genie lifting equipment with Huntraco about nine years ago," said Lufthansa's Krisztián Radó. "To make a fair comparison, we also rented similar machines by other brands. For us, the Genie Z-34/22 N articulating boom lift proved to be fast, highly manoeuvrable and safe, which is precisely what we need."ustomer in Saudi Arabia. Two machines in two days is an excellent rate of success."
The boom lifts feature a narrow system width of just 1.47m, giving them the ability to corner quickly in confined spaces. The Z-34/22's articulating boom and rotating jib provide a working height of up to 12.52m, a maximum horizontal reach of 6.78m, and an up-and-cover clearance of 4.62m.
"The airport terminal is always busy with vehicles and machines," Radó explained. "Inside the maintenance hangar we can be working on up to four or five aircraft at a time. Space is limited, so we need all the manoeuvrability we can get.
"Our machines are equipped with the Genie Aircraft Protection Package, which, in addition to significantly reducing the possibility of damaging the aircraft, also provides our operators with the peace of mind they need to work smoothly and productively," he added.

New Evidence on Breastfeeding and Postpartum Depression: The Importance of Understanding Women's Intentions.
Borra C, Iacovou M, Sevilla A.
In other words, women who wanted to breastfeed and did = low risk of PPD. Women who wanted to breastfeed and couldn't = high risk of PPD. The researchers stress "providing compassionate support for women who had intended to breastfeed but…found themselves unable to".
This does not prove that breastfeeding cuts depression risk. It proves that women who had a goal and met it tend to have lower rates of depression. It does not prove that there is a biological reason that breastfeeding may be protective against depression. That may indeed be the case, but then the depression risk would have been similarly high in women who never intended to breastfeed.
Our societal confirmation bias is so damn strong, that we blatantly overlook the finding that suggests something potentially negative about breastfeeding promotion. But here's something to ponder: while we can't force insufficient glandular tissue to produce adequate milk, or force women to breastfeed who don't want to, we CAN ensure that every mother gets support in her feeding journey. We CAN listen to research that suggests the pressure to breastfeed is contributing to feelings of guilt, shame, and judgment – a potent trifecta of emotions for those prone to depression – and do something about it. If we are going to take this one study as "truth", as so many parenting-related studies are mistakenly interpreted, something good might as well come out of it.
At this point, there is a pretty clear correlation between not breastfeeding and PPD. Instead of using this as ammunition against formula use, we could be asking the tougher questions: Why are women who don't breastfeed more depressed? If it is something biological, wouldn't the rates of PPD have been skyrocketing in past generation where breastfeeding was rare? If we stop making breastfeeding seem like the only-best-right choice to raise a happy, healthy child, would it mitigate this risk?
One of my favorite quotes about research comes from the Nobel-prize winning scientist who discovered the importance of vitamin C, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi: "Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought." These days, the reverse seems to be true – research is to confirm what everybody else has seen, and everybody has already thought. This needs to change, and it won't, as long as our society and media turns even the most interesting findings into self-confirming soundbytes.
This entry was posted in mental health, news, postpartum depression, research, society, studies by Suzanne Barston. Bookmark the permalink.
YES. When I saw these articles, it nearly caused a second round of PPD about why breastfeeding didn't prevent my first round of PPD. Oh, that's right, because breastfeeding was extremely difficult since I was a low supply mom and I was scorned by LCs, family members, and other moms for choosing to combo feed so my baby wouldn't starve. Glad to see now it is the intention of breastfeeding and it's subsequent success that prevents PPD–my guess is those who intend to formula feed also experience the same levels of PPD prevention.
What about mothers who intend to formula feed, but are pressured into breastfeeding by doctors and family? I wonder if their rates of depression are the same as breastfeeding-by-choice mothers.
Such wise words from Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, so true!

World Cup campaign goes on, says Burrell
Published:Saturday | January 30, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Ryon Jones, Gleaner Writer
President of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Captain Horace Burrell, says despite Jamaica's failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa, the campaign goes on.
"The World Cup programme is not derailed, on January 31 we will commence preparations for the World Cup 2014, which is four years in advance. In fact this will give us our best opportunity to qualify because we will be well prepared," Burrell said.
The JFF is putting several things in place to provide a solid platform on which Jamaica's football programme can grow.
Burrell said: "We have embarked on a comprehensive training programme. First of all we have established a training school at the University of Technology for the purpose of guiding our coaches so that a common Jamaican philosophy can be developed. Second, we have also embarked on another comprehensive training programme for our referees and final, a third programme for the administrators at all parish levels."
Tomorrow's friendly is just the first game of a campaign by the Burrell administration to have the Reggae Boyz play at least one international friendly per month but according to the JFF boss they are experiencing great challenges where hosting home games are concerned.
"There are a number of factors affecting football in Jamaica right now as they relate to playing at the National Stadium. The game we are having on the 31st ( January), in order to break even a minimum of $12 million needs to be realised. The venue rental has gone up, the cost of security has gone up, the cost for police has gone up and airfare for the players.
"In the past, we had a sponsorship deal with Air Jamaica and before that we had one with American Airlines, which enabled us during those periods to pay small subsidies. Today, we have to pay the full cost of the tickets, which run into millions of dollars. And so for those reasons the challenge is even greater," Burrell said
Turning to the coaching side of the campaign, Burrell said the national football coach has to "perform well at all times" to remain in the job.
"A coach's tenure depends on performance. If the coaching staff performs well, of course they will have their jobs," said Burrell. "If they fail to perform ... we must make changes, and so the challenge is up to them to perform well at all times," he added. Burrell, however, added that the JFF would fully support whoever is in charge.
Dream come true for young goalkeeper
Robert Bailey, Gleaner Writer
When the Reggae Boyz take the field against Canada in their friendly international match at the National Stadium tomorrow, one of the most promising young players, André Blake, will be hoping to make his senior team debut.
Blake, a former national Under-20 goalkeeper, is the only schoolboy named in the 18-man squad selected by head coach Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore.
The 19 year-old 6'1'' custodian guided Glenmuir High to the quarter-finals of last season's daCosta Cup. He was also a member of Jamaica's Under-20 team which captured the bronze medal at the Pan American Games in Brazil in 2007. Blake expressed delight with his inclusion in the national senior team.
"It is a great feeling to be called up for the national senior team, and to be selected in the final 18 for this game, is a dream come true," said the soft-spoken Blake, who represents Sporting Central Academy in the Digicel Premier League.
"I think I have worked very hard in the daCosta Cup competition and I also put in a lot of training with my club and I believe that now it has paid off for me," he said.
Blake added that he has been well received by the senior players in the squad and he has been learning a lot from them.
"The vibes in the camp is very great," he said. "The team spirit is very good and the senior players are there to guide you because they don't treat you any less, they treat you like you are on the same level that they are on," Blake said.
Meanwhile, Whitmore said all is not lost for the youngsters despite the exclusion of a number of the schoolboy players from the final squad.
"It's just unfortunate because you have young Morgan (Marvin), you have Ricardo Morris, Dushan Brown, that could have been selected, but it is a rebuilding process," Whitmore said.
"You have young Kenardo Forbes and Juvaughn Watson and they haven't got a chance as yet, but as time goes by you will see us injecting one or two of them into the squad because we don't want to throw them into the deep sea and leave them to swim," he said.
Whitmore added: "I don't think that we will have most of our overseas players for the Argentina game because this is not a FIFA date and this squad will be mostly local players and so you will see one or two of them.
Whitmore noted that Blake is a good goalkeeper, who has been doing well at the youth level.
"Blake is a good goalkeeper because he has been in the Under-20 team and he has done well in that set-up for the country," Whitmore said.

The emergence of experimental legally autonomous startup zones in Honduras and other places is one of the most exciting developments in a long time, and forebodes the collapse of the copyright industry's tyranny over culture and knowledge.
I believe in competition. I believe in experimentation to see what works best and what can be predictably repeated – call it the scientific method applied to society, if you like. This has been a problem geopolitically, as the United States has guaranteed its global rent-seeking by bullying other countries into so-called "free trade" agreements that are, in the best kind of newspeak, the exact opposite: they are agreements to prevent free trade in favor of incumbent monopoly holders.
But a monopoly only lasts as long as all involved countries respect it. In particular, a monopoly that touches the Internet – one such as the copyright monopoly – requires the cooperation of every single country connected to the Internet to live yet another day. The first country to defect from this oppressive monopoly construct will cause the floodgates of culture and knowledge to open – imagine The Pirate Bay located in a country where it is declared 100% legal, and where it is rightly illegal to harass its enormous library.
We have China, which has a different cultural and idealistic tradition than Europe and the Americas – Asia works on a timescale of generations and centuries, rather than one of weeks and months. There is patience to a degree unheard of in the West. The Chinese have economic clout comparable to the US and Europe, and are anything but stupid. They are copying the Intellectual Protectionism (IP) regimes of the United States, seeing how they can benefit the Chinese once China has taken the lead: protectionism works to preserve incumbence, and the Chinese understand this perfectly. So while the mechanisms may be preserved, their initial purpose may be subverted to a new geopolitical power than the one they were constructed to maintain.
Lastly, there is Latin America, which holds no love for the United States on any level after the interventionism of the past 50 years. Economically, they have half the GDP of the US or Europe, and so, they can't compete on brute strength. However, they can compete with raw competition of the framework, and this appears to be one of the most exciting geopolitical developments in a long time.
Yesterday, it became clear that legally autonomous startup zones (plural) will be established in Honduras and other locations, with Panama and Guatemala watching the developments with great interest. A legally autonomous zone is a small location that gets to write its own experimental laws, in order to compete on a small-scale with country-level laws to find out at a laboratory scale if something works immensely better.
As many of these are planned in Latin America, and Latin America is rightly and royally sick of the copyright monopoly, I'm hopeful that one, just one, of them will ditch that monopoly concept in favor of real free trade and actual ownership rights. On an international network, it only takes one single country to declare the copyright monopoly obsolete for the entire planet to lose any and all copyright monopoly function. Now, we've arrived at the point where it only takes a single autonomous Internet-friendly startup zone to do so.
To illustrate, the book 1984 by George Orwell is still under copyright monopoly in the United States and Europe, but not in Australia, where it is published as public domain. This is something that is thoroughly illegal to distribute in Europe and the United States, but you can access it from there just fine, because it is legal to distribute in Australia, and Australia is connected to this thing we know as the Internet.
Now, imagine if one country – or one autonomous zone – desired to do this for all of humanity's knowledge and culture, as part of free trade and free judicial competition.
The future looks immensely bright, and there is no copyright monopoly there at all. It only takes one single jurisdiction to topple the entire oppressive construct worldwide.


Many things change in the equestrian sport, and they change fast. The mutual international competition is getting keener and keener, which makes quality requirements higher and higher. That's why it is so important to use only the best available breeding material in studfarms. It is of great importance to let young horses grow up in a healthy way and to train them properly in order to make it possible for everyone who's looking for a horse, to find one which meets his or her requirements.

It's been quite a while since RealTraps principal Ethan Winer showed the treatment in his living room home theater in our video How To Set Up And Treat a Listening Room below. All of the information in that video is still valid, but a few things have changed since then so it's time for an update. This newer video shows how you can enjoy state of the art sound (and video) without spending a fortune on audio "gear."

This video lets you hear RealTraps' amazing new modular treatment solution as if you were right there in the room. If you have the desire - and budget - for the very highest quality, this is the treatment solution for you. It's also ideal for regular 2-channel hi-fi listening. Presented by RealTraps partner Doug Ferrara, graphs show the huge improvement in frequency response and decay times at all frequencies. You'll also hear music as recorded from both the front and rear of the room.

This video is a greatly expanded version of our text article How to Set Up a Room. It explains the basics of room layout and acoustic treatment, and presents practical solutions to many common problems. The focus is on home theaters, but all of the information applies equally to professional recording studios and mastering rooms.
Click HERE to view the video. Running time 13:54.
RealTraps offers a number of Room Kits to fit many rooms and all budgets. They're a fabulous match for many rooms, and even if your room is unusual they're still useful as a starting point for developing your treatment strategy. We're glad to advise you to determine the best combination of traps for your particular room and budget.

This video shows how to use RealTraps products to create a very clean and intimate sounding recording in a highly reverberant environment. For this demo we recorded a solo artist singing and playing 12-string acoustic guitar in a large factory warehouse. This video also shows how to take advantage of microphone directional patterns to get an acceptable amount of isolation in this common recording situation.

Many people have asked how our products are made, and this video shows all. We start with a tour of the metal fabrication, then proceed to our painter, fiberglass supplier, packaging company, and finally the RealTraps factory. You'll see first hand the incredible attention to detail that goes into manufacturing all RealTraps products, and learn why we make the finest acoustic treatment available at any price.

All About Diffusion is part of our "See and Hear" video lecture series. It explains diffusion in plain terms with no math, then lets you hear an acoustic guitar recorded in close proximity to five different surface types. We're confident you'll agree that a real diffusor is less colored and more natural sounding than the other devices tested. The video is 16x9 widescreen, and the audio is at 256 kbps for accurate sound. The narration microphone is an audiotechnica 4033, and the surface testing microphone is a DPA 4090. No EQ or effects were used on the acoustic guitar recordings.

Most RealTraps panels are available in Standard and High Frequency (HF) styles, a concept we pioneered. This video lets you hear how to tell the difference. Standard panels have a semi-reflective plastic membrane behind the front fabric which increases absorption at bass frequencies. It also reduces absorption at mid and high frequencies so you can put as many bass traps as needed into a room without making it dead sounding as can happen with acoustic foam or plain rigid fiberglass. HF style panels absorb mid and high frequencies as well as bass, and are more suitable for use at reflection points or for taming general ambience.

This video explains comb filtering, using both acoustic and electronic examples. You'll learn what causes comb filtering, why and how to avoid it, and hear how it sounds.
Click HERE to view the video. Running time 8:16.
This is another in our "See and Hear" video lecture series. This video explains ringing and resonance using an electronic filter to simulate the way rooms behave at low frequencies. You'll see and hear ringing and resonance, and learn how the frequency and Q of a room's modes affect its sound.
Click HERE to view the video. Running time 6:55.
Is it live or is it Memorex? One goal of music recording is to capture a true sound, so when played back it sounds like the musicians are right there in the room with you. This experiment proves it's not an easy task! We weren't entirely successful, but we did manage to get fairly close with some of the instruments. While not about acoustic treatment, this video will appeal to both recording engineers and audiophiles.
Click HERE to view the video. Running time 7:55.
We created this video to show that peaks and nulls occur at all frequencies in all rooms, not only those frequencies related to the room dimensions. This is very significant because it proves that all rooms need broadband bass trapping, not trapping that targets specific frequencies as many people wrongly believe.
Click HERE to view the video. Running time 7:11.
Click HERE for the Non-Modal Peaks and Nulls presentation text.
If you own Sonar version 4 or later you can use this Project File to measure the low frequency response in your room. It plays one-second sine waves in 1 Hz increments from 40 to 300 Hz on Track 1. While that track plays you'll record an omnidirectional microphone onto another track, then afterward you can read the response at each frequency from the new track's Play meter. You'll probably need to resize the screen, and also change the sound card's input and output to match your own setup.
Note that RealTraps now uses and recommends the fabulous ETF Windows program from Acoustisoft. It is priced very reasonably, yet does all of the important measurements required for a complete room analysis. For Mac users we suggest Fuzzmeasure.

Breach in Chamarbandha Embankment in Samastipur-1958
Bihar · Floods · Kosi
March 18, 2015 March 18, 2015 SANDRPLeave a comment
Above: Samastipur Floods 2013 Photo: RailIndia
Guest blog by Dr Dinesh Kumar Mishra[1] (dkmishra108@gmail.com)
Background There was an unexpectedly heavy flood during 1953 in Bihar that led the State leaders to think about the flood control measures to be taken seriously. The losses incurred in the State in floods prompted the Government of India to formulate its first Flood Policy and take preventive and corrective steps so that the flood victims are helped in whatever way possible. While the Flood Policy was given the final shape and announced in September, 1954 Bihar was already under a severe spell of floods in 1954. The 1954 flood is still counted as one of the worst floods in the history of Bihar and remembered well by the elderly generation. Following the floods of 1954 and promulgation of the National Flood Policy many embankments were constructed along the Bihar rivers and the Burhi Gandak that passes through the present districts of W & E Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Begusarai and Khagaria and joins the Ganga about 25 km below Khagaria town was one to be embanked in its stretch below Champaran.

Taking It In The Shorts
By Catlin Dorset
Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation returns to La Jolla this month, marking the 30th anniversary of the original touring film collection.
Don't confuse this festival with Spike & Mike's other well-known offering, the Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. This collection is slightly more tasteful and refined.
"This 30th anniversary of our Festival of Animation is the best we have ever done," says co-creator Craig "Spike" Decker. "It is an accumulation of the newest, most award-winning, technically savvy films, and the most award-winning and popular shorts we have ever shown."
Before Spike and his partner, the late Mike Gribble, got into film, Spike's band projected Betty Boop and Superman cartoons onto on- stage screens during concerts. The band eventually broke up, but the projections carried on.
This year's festival will feature 23 animated shorts, including early student works by award-winning director John Lasseter (Toy Story) and a special presentation from The Simpsons director/ producer David Silverman.
If you're in the mood for something sicker and more twisted, those Spike & Mike films usually make an appearance at Comic-Con in July.

THE VICTORIA CROSS GROUP AWARDED TO PETTY OFFICER THOMAS GROULD, ROYAL NAVY ( HM SUBMARINE 'THRASHER' ) HAS FOUND A NEW LOCATION IN THE JEWISH MUSEUM IN NORTH LONDON.
Africa Star + clasp "North Africa 1942-43"
Thomas Gould's Victoria Cross medal group was sold at a Sotheby's auction on the 29th October 1987 for a hammer price of £44,000 and was purchased by the Association of Jewish Ex-Service Men and Women based in Hendon, North London. The VC group was later donated to the Jewish Military Museum, also located in Hendon, which featured exhibits about Jews serving in the British armed forces from the 18th Century to the present.
The Jewish Military Museum has now closed and the museum's artifacts, including the Thomas Gould Victoria Cross group, have been installed in the Jewish Museum's 'History Gallery' which is based in Raymond Burton House, Albert Street, North London.
[ London Gazette, 9 June 1942 ], Sea of Crete, 16 February 1942, Petty Officer Thomas William Gould, Royal Navy.
On 16th February, in daylight, H.M. Submarine Thrasher attacked and sank a heavily escorted supply ship. She was at once attacked by depth charges and was bombed by aircraft. The presence of two unexploded bombs in the gun casing was discovered when after dark the submarine surfaced and began to roll.
Lieutenant Roberts and Petty Officer Gould volunteered to remove the bombs, which were of a type unknown to them. The danger in dealing with the second bomb was very great. To reach it they had to go through the casing which was so low that they had to lie at full length to move in it. Through this narrow space, in complete darkness, they pushed and dragged the bomb for a distance of some 20 feet until it could be lowered over the side. Every time the bomb was moved there was a loud twanging noise as of a broken spring which added nothing to their peace of mind.
This deed was the more gallant as HMS Trasher's presence was known to the enemy: she was close to the enemy coast, and in waters where his patrols were known to be active day and night. There was a very great chance, and they knew it, that the submarine might have to crash-dive while they were in the casing. Had this happened they must have been drowned.
Thomas Gould was invested with his Victoria Cross by King George VI at Buckingham Palace in March 1943.
The action by Lieutenant Roberts and Petty Officer Gould not only saved their submarine from a situation of great peril but allowed her to continue her operational patrol. Both men were awarded the Victoria Cross for their coolness and gallantry in close proximity to the enemy.


Hey folks…it is time to clear out some of my fly fishing gear. Come on, you know what I mean; each year you collect gear and add a little more and before you know it, you have 'extra-stuff'! So, it is time to move some along to a few of you. My hope is that you find a piece that you can use on a daily basis as one of the saddest things is to have usable gear that you really know you won't be using much in the future.
As I enter my 41st year of fly fishing…my attention to detail is greater and my finicky nature has taken over. The bottom line is that I am much more particular today than I was in the past. I know what I like and I am not quite as likely to experiment. So, I have offered up some rods, reels and lines that I believe still have a lot of life left in them. I will list each piece as specifically as I can above each of the individual pictures of the gear. I have also rated the equipment on a 10 point scale; 0 being bad and 10 being brand new (none of what is listed is brand new). I have purposely tried to price each piece as reasonable as possible. As for shipping; I will pack and ship to your locale and charge you the exact shipping price. So, take a look at the list below and see if you think you could use any of the following gear; if so, contact me via email at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com.
NOTE: When these items were originally posted, there were 9 products listed. As some have been sold, we have removed the individual listings.

Invest in Saxony-Anhalt>News>Report INVEST>Gamification as a pioneer for industry 4.0
Independent. And individual.
©Rat King Entertainment GbR
In winning the "best youth game", "Rat King Entertainment" is the first company in Saxony-Anhalt to have been awarded the German Computer Game award.
Jana Reinhardt and Friedrich Hanisch develop indie games. Their company, "Rat King Entertainment", is based in the hub for entrepreneurs at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle (Saale). Their products have won several awards and have been shown at festivals. The developers want to help shape the industrial revolution 4.0 in Central Germany.
In winning the German Computer Game Award in the category of "Best Youth Game" with the game "TRI: Of Friendship and Madness", "Rat King Entertainment" has succeeded in making a name for itself in the German computer games industry. The two-man company from Halle (Saale) is the first ever winner to come from Saxony-Anhalt. "TRI" also won the prize in the category of "Best Indie Game 4 Kids" at the "Goldener Spatz" film festival in Central Germany. "TRI" is a first-person game in which the players have to catch a crazy fox with the help of magic triangles in a strange world of godlike figures. It is a "freestyle first-person 3D puzzle exploration adventure," as the developers themselves describe it. "The game has an extremely well thought-out design and features numerous intelligent puzzles." Such was the verdict of the jury at the Computer Game Award.
Independent and individual
Jana Reinhardt and Friedrich Hanisch developed "TRI" over the space of three years. They met during their studies at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. They studied multimedia VR design, developed several game prototypes whilst on their course and, after having "caught the bug", attended a course for entrepreneurs after their studies. In 2011, the company "Rat King Entertainment" got off the ground. The creative environment in Halle, they both claim, is supporting them with their work; they have moved into an office in the Designhaus Halle, the centre for new business start-ups at the University of Art and Design.
They develop the stories for their games, the game design and the level design together, otherwise they share their tasks out: Jana Reinhardt is responsible for the graphics, Friedrich Hanisch for the programming.
Their products are considered to be indie games. "We don't just take that to mean independent," says Friedrich Hanisch, "but also individual." That fits - after all, indie describes the realisation of ideas by individual developers on their own initiative and independently, from start to finish. Sometimes it also means having to make a go of things without financial support from a major publisher, however. The Halle-based entrepreneurs actually received a small advance from "Rising Star Games" for "TRI" who, in return for their support, gained the sales rights for a limited period of time together with a share of the proceeds from the sales. They did not gain the IP rights, however. Securing the financing, explain Reinhardt and Hanisch, isn't always easy. After all, producing a prototype takes half a year to a whole year alone. They sell their computer games themselves, among others, on the "Steam" platform; "TRI", for example, is available there for 13 Euros.
The Sky Disc App
"Rat King" has already produced four big games and several smaller ones. A new project has recently been completed: the Bronze Sky app (Der Bronzene Himmel) has been created in cooperation with the film animation studio "Motionworks", a company which is also based in Halle. Its theme is the Sky Disk, the oldest-known artistic representation of the starry sky. Made from bronze and gold, it was buried some 3,600 years ago, but is now on display in the Museum of Archaeology in Halle. The app aims to introduce children and teenagers to the topic of history in a playful way by immersing them in the Bronze Age - and this is where "Rat King" has contributed in the form of a take-it-in-turns survival game.
Although the purpose of the company is entertainment, when it comes to its products, the transitions to edutainment are also fluid. In the form of a commissioned project, Reinhardt and Hanisch developed a game about biodiversity. For the Office for Political Education in Thuringia (Zentrale für politische Bildung Thüringen) meanwhile, a game is currently being developed to inform young people about elections. It is expected to be published in September. Their game "High Five Romance Race" - a fast-paced racing game in which two players steer their cars by giving each other high fives, and which not only requires rapid reactions but above all else team spirit - is often shown at exhibitions: in Leipzig and Berlin and twice at "Silbersalz", the Central German Science Festival which is held in Halle.
Paving the way for 4.0
Whenever possible, Jana Reinhardt and Friedrich Hanisch devote themselves to non-commercial projects. They were able to create their game "Solitune", an escapist and very personal art game, with the support of the Foundation for the Arts of Saxony-Anhalt (Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt). The game was nominated for an award at the German A MAZE festival.
Jana Reinhardt tells us that the games developer scene in Saxony-Anhalt is still pretty small-scale. Yet it is developing into an industry of the future. Its technology-driven, interactive potential means that the games developers are pioneers in the use of virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed and extended reality. Gamification is also being applied as a tool and a production factor in other sectors of the economy, such as the automotive, health care and IT sectors as well as the world of research.
Jana Reinhardt and Friedrich Hanisch have co-founded the "Games & XR Central Germany" association (Games & XR Mitteldeutschland e. V.) to help advance digitalisation and the industrial revolution 4.0. Its goal is to participate actively in the structural development of the Central German region through networking, further training and the transfer of knowledge to other industries that are unrelated to computer games.

— it can lead to serious medical problems.
Hypertension is usually more of a problem for adults, but teens and kids also can have it. Even babies can have high blood pressure. The good news is that hypertension can be treated.
Blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats, but there is always some pressure in the arteries.
High blood pressure means a person's heart and arteries must work harder than they normally would. Over time, the added stress can damage them. When the heart and arteries don't work as well as they should, other body parts (like the kidneys, eyes, and brain) may suffer.
Having high blood pressure makes people more likely to have strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, kidney failure, or loss of vision.
A person with high blood pressure who has any of these problems should see a doctor right away.
How Do Doctors Measure Blood Pressure?
(pronounced: sfig-mow-mah-NAH-meh-ter). This device has an inflatable cuff that a doctor or nurse wraps around your arm. As the cuff inflates, it squeezes an artery, stopping the blood flow for a moment. As the cuff deflates and the next heartbeat goes through the artery, the doctor or nurse measures the pressure. He or she also measures the pressure at its lowest point between heartbeats.
Automated devices also measure blood pressure, but are not always as accurate.
When doctors tell people their blood pressure, they use two numbers; for example, 120/80 ("120 over 80"). The first number is the systolic pressure. This is the pressure at the peak of each heartbeat. The second number is the diastolic pressure. This is the pressure when the heart rests between beats.
For adults (people 18 and older), blood pressure that's lower than 120 over 80 is normal. High blood pressure is 140 over 90 or higher. If someone's systolic pressure is 120 to 139, or if their diastolic pressure is 80 to 89, it's called elevated blood pressure or prehypertension.
It's a little different for kids and teens: People younger than 18 have hypertension if 95% of kids or teens of the same age, height, and gender have lower blood pressure. Blood pressure between 90% and 95% of the normal range is considered prehypertension.
If a doctor or nurse thinks your blood pressure is too high, he or she will take at least three readings at different times before calling it hypertension. Teens with prehypertension or hypertension are more likely to have high blood pressure as adults.
Most of the time, there's no specific reason why someone has high blood pressure. This is called essential hypertension or primary hypertension. But some people have a medical condition that causes hypertension — like kidney disease or a thyroid disorder. This is called secondary hypertension.
If you have high blood pressure, a doctor might also check for high blood cholesterol and other conditions that could make heart disease or a stroke more likely.
How Do Doctors Diagnose Hypertension?
A single reading showing high blood pressure doesn't mean that you have hypertension. It is a sign to watch your blood pressure, though. Sometimes, blood pressure needs to be checked several times over a period of days or weeks to determine if someone has hypertension.
Some people have what's called "white coat hypertension." This means that their blood pressure goes up when they're at a doctor's office because they're nervous. When they feel more relaxed, their blood pressure usually goes down. To make sure high blood pressure readings aren't caused by anxiety, doctors will sometimes track a person's blood pressure over a whole day. This is called ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Your doctor will probably weigh and measure you. He or she might do urine tests or blood tests to check for other conditions that can cause hypertension.
If you've been told you have hypertension, your doctor will work with you to come up with a treatment plan.
In some cases, teens with severe hypertension may need to be careful about the kinds of exercise they do. Some will have to avoid things like weightlifting and bodybuilding until their blood pressure is back to normal.
Stay at a normal weight for your height.
Exercise for about an hour a day. This can help you control your weight and keep your blood pressure from going up as you get older.
Eat a healthy diet that includes mostly whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fruits, and vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables.
Don't use alcohol, tobacco products, or illegal drugs.
Keep your stress levels in check. It may help to practice relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises.
Add less salt to your food and avoid fast food and other foods that are high in salt.
Know your blood pressure and have it checked regularly.


Senator Leila M. de Lima has filed criminal complaints against former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II and his successor, incumbent Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, for illegally admitting and continuing the unlawful admission, respectively, of 13 convicted felons as state witnesses in the trumped-up drug trade cases against her.
In a 22-page complaint filed before the Office of the Ombudsman last Oct. 28, De Lima charged Aguirre and Guevarra with negligence in prosecution, toleration of criminal offenses and violations of Section 3 of Republic Act No. 3019, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
She also charged Guevarra with gross neglect of duty and grave misconduct for continuing the failure of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute the convicts despite their public admission of their involvement in the illegal drug trading inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
"Based on the foregoing factual antecedents, former Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre and Secretary Menardo Guevarra have violated Article 208 of the Revised Penal Code and grossly abused their power to favor convicted felons and protect them under the Witness Protection Security and Benefits Program (WPSBP)," she said.
"Secretary Guevarra has already been notified of the fact that the criminals convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude were illegally admitted as State Witnesses into the [WPSBP] of the DOJ. As such, the proper response was to remove them as beneficiaries. Still, he has refused and is unwilling to do so," she added.
The 13 witnesses admitted into the Witness Protection Program (WPP) are Nonilo Arile, Jojo Baligad, Herbert Colanggo, Engelberto Durano, Rodolfo Magleo, Vicente Sy, Hans Tan, Froilan Trestiza, Peter Co, Noel Martinez, Joel Capones, German Agojo, And Jaime Patcho, all of whom were convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude.
Under Section 10 (f) of RA 6981, persons previously convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude -- such as murder and drug trading -- are disqualified from becoming state witnesses.
"Given the explicit guidelines provided under Section 10 of the Witness Protection, Security and Benefit Act, it is unfathomable how then-Secretary Aguirre and Secretary Guevarra could have missed the fact that the convicted felons are not qualified to become state witnesses," she said.
"There is no room for any judgment call as their circumstance as convicts for crimes involving moral turpitude is beyond debate and is readily apparent," she added.
De Lima also lamented how Guevarra failed to indict the 13 convicted criminals for illegal drug trading despite their unequivocal admissions and confessions under oath.
"The failure to file the necessary Information is a flagrant breach of duty on the part of the Secretary. Ultimately, he has committed gross neglect of duty as the Secretary of Justice," she said.
Likewise, she claimed that partiality and hostility on the part of then-Secretary Aguirre was obvious from his statements and actions against her during the period of investigation in 2016.
"[His previous statements] show that then-Secretary Aguirre was manifestly partial to illegally place the convicted felons under the witness protection program in order to testify against me," she said.
Last September, De Lima expressed dismay over the rejection of her motion seeking to disqualify 13 convicts as state witnesses in the trumped-up illegal drug trade case lodged before Muntinlupa RTC Branch 206.
According to De Lima, Judge Lorna Navarro-Domingo hastily decided to deny her Motion, thereby allowing the Prosecution to continue presenting the NBP inmates as state witnesses.
Considered as a leading prisoner of conscience, De Lima continues to face fabricated drug charges in both Muntinlupa RTC, Branches 205 and 206, but she has refused to enter any plea in what she considered as a sham trial based on orchestrated lies.


A chalk cliff west of Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK, which is the highest such cliff in Britain, with a vertical drop of 162 m (530 feet), making it the world's third most popular suicide landmark, behind only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA, and the Aokigahara forest, Mount Fuji, Japan, not far behind.
With Liam's 3 kgs claim, Beachy Head should be competitive and we at Grandstand Stables also have Mushaakis in the field, like Beachy Head, proven at Jebel Ali.
Coastguards and emergency services were called after a body was seen near the Beachy Head lighthouse.
You are given the opportunity to try from a range of over 150 real cask ales on tap, from quirky named brews - like the Grumpy Guvnor, What the Fox's Hat and the Legless Rambler, made in Beachy Head - to some really rather potent ciders.
Bad taste: Keith Lane, 61, whose wife died at Beachy Head, with a bottle of the beer.
30pm on Sunday November 20, members of the public reported that a woman was seen to jump or fall from the top of cliffs at Beachy Head.
At more than 500ft high, Beachy Head is renowned for its downland beauty but it has also gained infamy as a magnet for suicidal people.
A police spokesman said: "A man's body was found beneath the cliffs at Beachy Head on July 20.
Beachy Head is a 'sunshine song about suicide' which perfectly sums up the contradictions in the Williams live experience.
Coastguard rescue teams, police and ambulance crews were called after a member of the public reported seeing the car fly over the cliffs at Beachy Head, East Sussex, at about 1am yesterday.
Parker also re-created, in slightly different scales and arrangements, two recent site-specific hanging sculptures: A Side of England, 1999, a suspended composition of chunks of white chalk retrieved from a cliff at Beachy Head, an infamous British suicide magnet; and Hanging Fire (suspected arson), 1999/2000, which comprises dangling charcoal fragments from the burned remains of a London factory in a stylized bonfire shape.
But it is perhaps in her longer blank-verse pieces, The Emigrants and, especially, the posthumous Beachy Head, that her most free and direct writing is to be found.
This quintessentially scenic cliff is also the most famous suicide spot in England; for centuries, people have leapt to their death from Beachy Head.

Q: finiding a limit base on the limit of $e$ How can i find: $\lim_{x\to -\infty} \left(\cfrac{2x^3+5}{2x^3+3}\right)^{3x^3+5}$
I know that $\lim_{x\to \infty} \left(\cfrac{x+1}{x}\right)^{x}=e$ but can't see how it helps.

A: $$
\left(1+\frac{2}{2x^3+3}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}(2x^3+3)}\cdot \left(1+\frac{2}{2x^3+3}\right)^{-\frac{5}{2}}  \to e^{2\cdot \frac{3}{2}} \cdot 1=e^3.
$$

A: Hint
Start with $$A= \left(\cfrac{2x^3+5}{2x^3+3}\right)^{3x^3+5}$$ and take logarithms $$\log(A)=(3x^3+5)\log\left(\cfrac{2x^3+5}{2x^3+3}\right)=(3x^3+5)\log\left(\cfrac{1+\frac 5{2x^3 }}{1+\frac 3 {2x^3}}\right)$$ $$\log(A)=(3x^3+5)\Big(\log(1+\frac 5{2x^3 })-\log(1+\frac 3{2x^3 })\Big)$$ Now, use the development of $\log(1+y)$ when $y$ is small and make $y=\frac 5{2x^3 }$ in the first term and $y=\frac 3{2x^3 }$ in the second term.
This can show you not only the limit but also how it is approached.
I am sure that you can take from here.

What the Ford Cabinet Means for the Environmental Sector
Katherine Balpataky
Today, Doug Ford was sworn in as the 26th Premier of Ontario, bringing with him a cabinet of 21 experienced MPPs. The Ontario Environment Industry Association (ONEIA) provided the following observations and analysis to its members about what the new changes may mean for people operating in the environmental sector. The comments below have been abbreviated.
Experienced cabinet more experienced
"ONEIA has been engaging Ontario governments since 1992, so we have worked with representatives of all three parties. At first review, Premier Ford will benefit from the depth and experience of candidates elected on June 8, avoiding a challenge that faced Premier Mike Harris when he was first elected. While the promises made by Harris before he was elected were similar to those of Doug Ford (simplify government, get back to basics, smaller cabinet), the initial few years of Harris's first term were rockier than they might have been simply because many of those he had named as ministers lacked a comparable level of experience to those elected under Ford. The presence of seasoned legislators such as Christine Elliott (Minister of Health and Deputy Premier), Vic Fedeli (Finance), Laurie Scott (Labour) and John Yakabuski (Transportation) should, we hope, make the first few years smoother than those experienced by Harris."
New Environment Minister and ministry name change
The ONEIA brief noted that Rod Phillips (Ajax) was named to head the renamed "Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks" dropping reference to climate change in the ministry name. Of the new minister, it said, "Phillips was former Chair of the Board of Postmedia Group, president and CEO of Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLGC) and President and CEO of Shepell.fgi (now Morneau Shepell). He has also served with community organizations such as CivicAction and the Telus Community Board. While this is his first term as an MPP, he has been active politically, serving as Chief of Staff to former Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman and as Chief of Staff to the Minister of Labour during the Mike Harris government."
"While Phillips is a qualified public servant with good government and community experience, the renaming of the ministry he heads will cause many in the environment industry to worry. While we knew climate change would most likely be dropped from the name, the new government would do well to remember that in the past few decades, the environment has grown beyond a simple "parks, trees, lakes and canoeing" frame. The ministry is now an important driver of policies and regulations that position Ontario for growth and competition."
What happened to Science, Innovation?
"Another key change in the cabinet is the elimination of the position of Minister of Research, Innovation and Science (the support for which had been subsumed in the then-Ministry of Economic Development and Growth under the previous government). Whether this change will result in a significant shift away from the "jobs of the future" focus of previous governments or is merely cosmetic restructuring remains to be seen, but it certainly signals a change in emphasis to not have included 'innovation' or 'science' in the names and mandates of other ministries."
Economic development portfolio goes to veteran
"A renamed Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade goes to seasoned Ontario PC MPP Jim Wilson (Simcoe-Grey). Wilson has served in the Legislature since 1990 and was a former Minister in the Harris and Eves governments responsible for such portfolios as Environment, Science/Technology, Energy and Health. MEDJCT has seen significant changes in the past ten years, from reducing its complement of senior staff, weathering the shifts in government policy emphasis and now trying to determine how to support industries affected by the looming trade war with the U.S."
The ONEIA brief went onto say that, "With the appointment of the new cabinet, we now know who the key political players are and will watch with interest to see who takes on the key policy and leadership roles within the Ministers' offices. We have already sent letters of congratulations to Ministers Phillips and Wilson and have scheduled our annual Environment Industry Day for November 14, where we will continue our tradition of meeting with representatives from all parties to discuss how we can promote growth in the environment sector and better environmental outcomes for Ontario citizens and industries."
Established in 1991, ONEIA is the business association representing the interests of the environment industry in Ontario.
