I left the hotel and took a right, crossed over a bridge and then saw a running/bike path. Hmmm… should I duck in? I decided, why not!
I ran over a bridge and heard the sound of water rushing. I looked down and noticed there was a river under me… then as I ran, the river was next to me. It was so close, I could go over and touch the water. It was flowing fast and furious. I noticed a couple of guys fishing. I wondered if I would see anything they caught.
As I ran, I noticed signs for some sort of science center. I ran toward it. I had no idea where I was or where I was going. All I knew was that I was trying to practice running in the altitude before the BolderBOULDER race on Memorial Day in Boulder.
I got to the parking lot of the science center and took a photo. I couldn't believe how gorgeous the mountains looked. Between the mountains, the rushing river and the cool fresh air, I was in love.
I turned around and headed back. If you know me, you know I'm directionally challenged. I don't know why I don't leave markers for myself, I should.
I ran passed the river, over bridges and came out of the park. I looked around but didn't see the hotel. I saw a man with a beard holding a big dog. I waited until they were near me. The man had to hold the dog tight.
"Do you know where the Millennial Hotel is?" I asked.
"Yes, you need to get back on the running path and go under the road to the other side. You can't miss it," he said.
I thanked him and headed back under the road and over a bridge to the other side. I came out and there was my hotel. I smiled. I knew that this trail was going to make it on my top 10 list!

The H Street NE coffee shop will boost hiring and accessibility for people with hearing loss.
Starbucks has more than 8,000 stores nationwide. One of them will soon be run entirely in American Sign Language.
Starbucks's first signing store in the United States will hire 20 to 25 deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing people with the requirement that they be proficient in American Sign Language. Roughly 200 current employees identify as deaf or hard of hearing, according to a company representative, including at Starbucks stores, roasting plants, and regional and corporate offices acround the world. Now Starbucks says the store — set to open in Washington in October — will boost hiring and accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing employees and customers alike.
"This is a historic moment in Starbucks ongoing journey to connect with the deaf and hard of hearing community, hire and engage deaf and hard of hearing partners, and continue to find ways to be more inclusive, accessible and welcoming to all," said Rossann Williams, Starbucks's executive vice president of U.S. retail.
The store will open near Gallaudet University, a 150-year-old institution and the world's only university designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. The campus of 1,900 students is located in northeast Washington, a quick walk from blocks of restaurants and bars along the bustling H Street corridor.
The store will feature art and a mug designed by a deaf artist. Deaf employees will wear aprons that show "Starbucks" spelled in sign language. Hearing employees proficient in sign language will wear pins showing they can sign.
A visual display will walk customers through their orders, and a similar display will show them that their orders are ready, in place of baristas calling out a name or order.
In 2014, Washington City Paper highlighted how the neighborhood around Gallaudet has become more inclusive to deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons. Restaurants and bars are hiring more workers who are proficient in sign language, with one even hosting a sign-language trivia night.
The store mirrors Starbucks's first signing store, which opened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2016. The store hired, trained and coached deaf employees, taught sign language to hearing employees, and opened with nine deaf partners.
At the Malaysia store, customers place orders using a menu card that they mark up and hand off to a barista. Deaf partners hand-write notes to interact with customers. Customers see that their beverages are ready when a screen displays a number that matches one on their receipts.
A video announcing the signing store shows deaf Starbucks employees sharing how long they have worked for Starbucks and their roles within the company. One former employee named Kevin, who is blind and deaf and worked as a consultant on the D.C. signing store, said that a group of Starbucks employees went to Malaysia in 2017 to learn how to model that store in the United States.
Inclusion of deaf customers and partners is yet another goal Starbucks has announced in the past few months. After two young black men were arrested at a Philadelphia store in mid-April, Starbucks said it would close 8,000 stores nationwide for an afternoon of racial-bias training at the end of May. Starbucks also crafted new guidelines allowing customers to sit in stores and use the restroom without making a purchase, and outlined when employees should (and should not) call 911.
After the training, Starbucks committed to monthly trainings over the next year on issues related to bias and discrimination. Still, it remains to be seen how Starbucks will achieve the "full-scale racial equity overhaul" called for by outside experts.

CC Outtake: 2014 Renault Zoe – The Electric Light Has Been Switched On
Roger Carr
CC has had lively discussion over the last few weeks touching the subject of alternative fuels, triggered by the VW emission scandal. One subject that has come up several times is the use of all electric power in urban environments. In Europe, the undisputed leader in this technology is Renault–Nissan, with the Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf respectively. The Leaf will be familiar (or at least known) to US readers but the smaller Zoe is not sold outside Europe.
The Zoe is actually part of the Renault Clio supermini family, and shares the basic structure of the conventional Clio, on a platform that was designed with an all electric version in mind. Power comes from a 22kWh lithium battery pack, located low in the floorpan, where you might expect to see a fuel tank. That keeps the centre of gravity low, but the car still weighs in it at almost 1465kg, around 3300lb. Under the bonnet are the motor and charging control systems. The boot is a competitive size, as is the interior accommodation for four. This battery drives an 87bhp, 162lbft motor, driving the front wheels. Front suspension is MacPherson struts and the rear is a torsion beam with coil springs.
Style wise, the car is completely separate from the Clio externally, and to me anyway, at least as attractive as the good looking Clio, although with a softer impression, helped by the grille less front and the blue touch to the lights. Inside, there are many familiar Renault switches and details, and the centre stack housing the touch screen and some controls is pure Clio. In the most commonly seen and promoted white, the car almost has an Apple vibe that may not be entirely unintentional.
Charging the car is by plug in only; there is no hybrid option and induction charging isn't here yet. As usual, there are variations in charge rate based on the supply available, ranging from specially installed domestic 220V systems to three phase charging points. Charge times are nine hours at home but the thee phase 63amp chargers can get you 80% charged in 30 minutes. Renault offer a fast charger that is compatible with a domestic supply also, charging the car in around 3 hours.
Although I haven't driven one – I'd love to try it – reports suggest that the driving experience is better suited to the urban environment than to an open main road or motorway. To start it, get in, belt up, insert the key (actually a credit card sized and shaped keycard), press a button, engage "D" and depress the accelerator. Being electric, the torque is of course immediately available and the low speed refinement is impressive. Nothing there to frighten any one.
Above 50 mph or so, however, the electric motor's producing a lot less torque and power is dropping away. Speed increases here are harder to achieve and take longer, which may limit the use the car gets there. But that's missing the point.
This is a car for the urban environment. It has a range of 80 miles or so on a charge, which is sufficient for several days for many urban users. This, with the ease of use, the fact it avoids some inner city congestion penalties (in London, for example, the Zoe and anything like it are exempt from the central zone congestion charge scheme) and the class competitive level of capability in many areas make it valid choice for many users.
Relative costs are always difficult to assess, but in the UK the car costs around £14,000 (after a Government grant of £5,000) and Renault lease the battery for another £85 – say two tanks of fuel – per month, for a car with sat–nav, cruise and Bluetooth. That's comparable with a similarly specified Clio and I can certainly see the attraction of the Zoe as a second or third car for a city dwelling household, and a safe choice for young drivers perhaps. Factor in the attractive style and non aggressive image to help seal the deal?
We know two things about electric cars – the battery range is going to get better (the Zoe's big brother the Nissan Leaf has already moved to a v2 of its battery) and the price is going to come down as usage and volumes increase.
Perhaps, on this evidence, we shouldn't be too pessimistic but may be permit ourselves some optimism?
The US is a such a disadvantage compared to Europe (and most of the world) for charging electric cars at existing common electric outlets because of our 120V AC mains power. Instead of charging on common domestic outlets taking 9 hours as on the Zoe, it would take 18 hours. The same issue makes our dishwashers and washing machines take forever to do their job as the water heats with a 1000w heating element instead of 2500w.
American A/C was set up by Serbian genius Nikola Tesla, working with George Westinghouse (not that fool Edison, who lobbied for DC power). My water is heated by natural gas, which is more efficient.
American homes often have 220V for certain appliances. 80 mi. should be good for a lot of commuters. And it won't lose power at altitude (say, Denver or Flagstaff), either.
The rear reminds me of the Toyota Yaris hatchback.
The vast majority of American homes have 240V three wire service, allowing 120V for lighting circuits and 240V for common items such as electric dryers, central AC, electric ranges, electric dryers and sometimes electric heat and electric water heaters. 240V three wire service has been the standard since the end of WW II and utilities commonly offered upgrades to older homes during the '50s and '60s.
If electric cars need a 240V charger in the garage, this retrofit shouldn't be too hard for most Americans.
A buddy of mine and I ran 240V outlets from a modern service box in my first home – a 1921 vintage bungalow – to the kitchen for a range and across the basement for an electric dryer. It was basically a beer and pizza job, the materials were under $50 bucks 22 years ago. While a simple job, I recommend an electrician – I always sweat for some reason when sticking tools into an electrical panel.

Amen on that to playing in the circuit box. I had to replace a breaker, and I wore rubber gloves under work gloves and had someone ready to knock me away with a wooden handled broom in case things went wrong. I could have pulled the master fuse, but that would have also killed my work light. My electric heat is 220 / 20 amp, 12 guage wire is ok for that load. However my range, dryer, and water heater are all 40 amp, and has a much thicker gauge wire.
I'm ok working with electric; it's very simple – it's either right, or very wrong.
Seems like a nice car, definitely would be good for a daily commuter for myself, but the one thing that jars my sensibilities is that . . . . . . I buy the car, and then have to pay a monthly rental fee on the batteries?
Sorry, that concept is very off-putting. I'm already going to be paying a car loan, my home electric bill is going to rise (while my gasoline budget falls, of course), but I'm still expected to pay somebody for battery use.
And this is from a guy who's first interests on a replacement car next year (once I've got the garage built) is a Volt, Leaf, and possibly a Bolt. And I'm hoping to test drive an off-lease iMiev this coming weekend, just to see what they're about.
I think the model just separates paying for the car and batteries, which some people would appreciate because the lifespan of the batteries are still somewhat of a gamble at this point. Presumably there is some benefit in data to Renault too.
Uncle Mellow
Renault have a guy named Laurens van den Acker styling their cars these days, and he is extremely good at it. Trouble is, hell will freeze over before I buy a Renault. I feel much the same about pure electric cars.
I can buy a huge amount of diesel and road user tax for our equivalent of 14 thousand quid plus import duties so no not for me though it would take care of my running around quite well.
Jim Klein
Is the name a play on ZerO Emissions? I like it, over there I see it making all kinds of sense especially with more and more families being multicar (vs 20-30 years ago). Over here too, for some people/situations. Yeah, range WILL expand, the battery lease is pricy, but at least it presumably allows an easy upgrade when newer tech, i.e. longer range becomes available. It also presumably allows the concept of switching packs on trips but I am not sure how the pack is installed.
The time to charge at home seems long for 240V, that seems similar to our charge times on 110V.
yes, a play on words as you suggest. A Parisian called Zoe Renault was sufficiently unimpressed to sue Renault over the name.
The idea of the battery lease is to reduce the up front purchase and enable you to get a later, greater range battery when yours reaches a certain performance limit
The problem is the electricity to charge the batteries of electric cars has to come from some other source of power. Although wind, solar and bio-fuel generated electricity have come a long way they are still a relativity small part of electric generation and are not 24\7. The bulk of electric power in the US comes from coal, natural gas, hydro, nuclear or oil. Each has it's own set of environmental drawbacks including wind, bio-fuel and solar. There is no such thing as a free lunch, something the so called "Green Environmentalists" tend to forget. With conventional gasoline powered automobiles getting fuel economy and very low emissions approaching what would have only been a dream 30 years ago I feel they are still going be with us for many years to come. Unless electrical generation comes up with something radical and unheard of there are going to environmental costs associated with transportation.
And don't try to tell me that asphalt paving doesn't emit hydrocarbons on a warm day and cement the binder in concrete doesn't have huge environmental drawbacks in it manufacture. Everything has it's cost, you can't get away from the fact.
Wind power is especially marginal, & is a small fraction of CA's output despite the farms at Altamont Pass & Palm Springs. So choose your poison. Yet another alternative today is fuel cells, with Toyota's Mirai in limited release, but that has batteries & a high-pressure storage tank for the H2, which is why they talk up the car's protection features.
You nailed it, Loco. An electric car is only as clean as the power-generation plant on the other end of your power cord. Where I live, the power comes from coal. That would make any electric vehicle I might own in effect a coal-burning car. Um, no thanks.
It's not as simple as that. Coal power plants in the US and EU are quite "clean" in terms of the typical emissions (smog forming, etc). The problem is CO emissions, which is of course a GW contributor. But because an electric car is so efficient (90%), even one that uses 100% coal-power electricity has a smaller CO footprint than a conventional gas/diesel car.
So an EV is still "cleaner" regardless of its electricity source.
MikePDX
I think you meant to say CO2, not CO.
Sean Cornelis
You can look up GHG emissions for EVs (via power generation) here:
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=bt2
And the power plant emissions data it uses comes from here:
http://oaspub.epa.gov/powpro/ept_pack.charts
Even charging off the dirtiest, oldest, purely coal-fired parts of the grid produces less emissions than a comparable ICE vehicle. You could probably find an exception somewhere, but that's certainly not the norm.
occam24
The face reminds me of Reddy Kilowatt. Probably not on the minds of the designers, but still apt.
Reddy Kilowatt I remember him well, The carton character that was the mascot of electrification of the US in the 50's & 60's. The promise of great things that never happened. They said electricity produced by nuclear reactors would be so cheap that it wouldn't pay to put a meter on houses. We all know how that went. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it's mistakes.
My beef with nuclear is, who assumes liability for an "incident?" If industry can't afford insurance, I don't want the gov't to cover it at my expense, or grant them bureaucratic immunity. I'll take the CO2 instead.
If insurance won't cover something, it's too great a risk.
My avatar likes it!
A good thing about an electric car is how its CO2 footprint gets better as more low-carbon and no-carbon power sources come online.
This Renault in France is very low-CO2, since the French get 75% of their electric power from their very successful nuclear program.
Ian A Williams
…with most of the balance coming from hydro and renewables.
Another decade or so and cheap solar power may yet deliver on the "too cheap to meter" promise.
Too bad the Leaf isn't as attractively styled as this car.
For most cars, I've noticed the U.K. price seems quite high when converted to dollars, but £14,000 doesn't seem all that bad (approx. $21,000). HOWEVER, that battery rental fee, what's up with that? And £85 ($130-$135) would buy a LOT of gas at today's prices….right now my 1997 Civic uses $55-$75 of gas a month. I looked at the price, just this week, for replacement batteries for a Prius. WITHOUT installation they cost $2,200.
So bottom line, like the car but the finances would never work in the U.S. if only converted from Pounds to Dollars.
BTW, is it just me or have values for the Leaf dropped into a deep, dark hole?
In the UK, petrol costs £1.10 or more per litre, say &.50 a gallon
Prices for anything used and electric have dropped into that deep dark hole, and will continue to stay there as long as gasoline is sub-$2.00/gallon.
In the Richmond area, you can pick up an off-lease Leaf for around $11-12k, and an iMiev for about two thousand less than that. Volts are only running a bit higher than the Leaf.
Which has got me looking at one for a commuter car next spring once my garage is built and wired.
The 1st few years of EVs have quite the depreciation curve. Here in Reno/NorCal it seems like only the Tesla models have strong residuals.
It would be tough to make much use of an 80 mile range car where I live. I'm a low annual mileage driver, but a weekly trip of a 100 miles or so is fairly common. In the cold months you never know when a simple 30 minute trip will turn into a 2.5 hour slog through snow filled streets.
bootiebike
+1 for the bit about an electric car being only as clean as the power source.
What's always bugged me is that electric cars tend to be small, humble, slow runabouts. Don't misunderstand me, nothing wrong with small runabouts etc; my point is that we could probably achieve most of the environmental benefits – right now – if people bought the existing small, humble, slow runabouts that use conventional technology. But that class of car doesn't have mass appeal, otherwise they'd be everywhere already. Meanwhile, people buy 6000 pound trucks as runabouts, because that's what they really want. Why do we bother?
PS. Here's a pic of another electric Renault
Another pic of the Renault Twizy
AWEboss
This is an expensive car, for what it is. £14,000 is almost 20.000 Euros, and this price includes government subsidies (other people's money), so in reality it actually costs a whopping 26.000 euros. A comparable new car with 'normal' engine can be had for much less than half of this amount.
And on top of that, one must pay the equivalent of almost 120 euros every month for 'battery lease' ?! With a 'normal' car , a typical (European) urban driver will likely spend (much) less than that on monthly fuel costs.
This just doesn't make any economical sense.
And that's before we even begin to delve into all the general issues with electric cars – not just pathetic range and long recharge times, but also huge infrastructure problems (electrical grid) if electric cars ever become a significant percentage of all cars.
T.Turtle
Better Place tried the same nonsense in Israel with the Fluence and went bankrupt.
CaptainObvious
I saw one of these parked In Madrid a few weeks ago while there on business. I thought it looked nice and definitely caught my eye. Didn't have a chance to get a closer look. Didn't realize it was electric.

The Permanence of Change: A Review of Marilá Dardot's Visual Essay on Language, Memory and Oblivion, "Guerra do Tempo," at Chácara Lane
February 23, 2016 at 3:19 pm by Caroline Carrion
by Caroline Carrion
February 23, 2016 February 23, 2016 Filed under:
Wall objects created from the covers of books written in languages that the artist doesn't speak, and others from books' spines whose content will now remain forever unknown; phrases about silence carefully embroidered on rectangles of gray felt suggesting images that are absent and yet whose presence can strangely be intuited; an edition of artist books created from forgotten tokens recovered by Marilá Dardot and Fabio Morais amidst books for sale in used-book stores; a video that critically unveils, not without humor, the disparity in the economic condition of the Brazilian population, using a language common to that of supermarket sales ads; a photo that visually translates the core of "The War of Time," by Alejo Carpentier: those are a few works that can be found on the first floor of Marilá Dardot's solo exhibition at Chácara Lane, "Guerra do Tempo" [War of Time], a beautiful visual essay on language, memory and oblivion.
Despite the power of the ensemble presented on the first floor, it is on the soundless second level of the exhibition that the show comes together. While I observed Dardot's hitherto unseen installation "Demão" [Coat], the French actor Anna Karina's smooth voice inadvertently made its way out of the depths of my memory and whispered in my ear: "Tout est en mouvement. Il suffit d'avancer pour vivre." [Everything is in motion. Simply move to live.] These verses, from the quotation of a nonexistent poem by Paul Éluard in Godard's "Alphaville," had their meaning condensed and enlightened by the vanishing phrases on the white walls. Each sentence of the installation is a political slogan from different moments of Brazilian history. They were written in black, then partially covered by a coat of white paint, just to be followed by the next phrase and its accompanying layer of white, and so on. An eloquent and elegant review of our history, of what is yet remembered and what has been forgotten—not without leaving its trail.
It was there, in the second floor, that I understood that time is in the center of this exhibition, a show that gathers more than thirty works by Dardot, developed from 2002 to 2016. And there is a reason for that: the show marks the reopening of Chácara Lane as a space devoted to contemporary art. The house, built in the nineteenth century, has had many uses, from residential building to Red Cross ambulatory to library. To debut the latest transformation, curator Douglas de Freitas invited an artist whose research could subtly echo the location's own transitory moments.
The question of time, and its extension in transformations, erasures and do-overs, has long been present in Dardot's production. Widely known for research that involves language, literature and the written word as a visual element, the artist is a collector of books and quotations that are displaced and re-signified as part of her own work. As Umberto Eco beautifully expounded in one of his last interviews, everyone who owns a library knows that it is not a repository for read books, but a project for the future. This temporal multiplicity inherent to all libraries is in intimate relation with Dardot's poetical and interdisciplinary body of work, and, hopefully, will be kept in mind for the space where it can now be seen.

There's a new release from Simon Says Stamp today, Blossoms & Butterflies and going with the title I picked out the Comfort & Prayers set to paint a trio of butterflies. I've linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
Before I crack on with the details of the card, let us take a closer look at what is included in the new release.
So, back to the butterflies! I took one of the butterfly images from the Comfort & Prayers set and stamped it three times in a row with Gina K Whisper ink on Arches Cold Pressed watercolour card. This is my first time using this ink, and I love it! It's barely there and so blends in with the watercolouring, and yet you can see it enough to act as a guide to colour.
I painted the three butterflies using Daniel Smith watercolours and referencing one of the videos by Dawn Woleslagle that really got me into watercolouring in the first place. I can't thank Dawn enough for inspiring me and sharing her knowledge so freely. I finished off the colouring with a couple of pencils to deepen the shading.
Having watercoloured the butterflies, I splattered with leftover paint and Perfect Pearls solution. I then trimmed the panel to be slightly smaller than an A2 card base. I blended Antique Linen Distress Ink gently around the edges of the panel for a more homely feel and then dragged a clear embossing pad around the edges too and sprinkled with Platinum embossing powder and heat set. I love the vintage look of the muted metallic edges.
For the sentiment, I stamped the 'comfort' greeting from the Comfort & Prayers set in clear embossing ink and heat embossed with more of the Platinum embossing powder. I paired this with a banner I stamped with a coordinating sentiment in clear embossing ink on a scrap of Hot Pressed watercolour card painted to match one of the butterflies. I then white heat embossed the sentiment, trimmed to a banner and added with foam adhesive. I added the finished panel to a Desert Storm card base and accented with a trio of toning sequins.
Following today's release, there are two blog hops coming tomorrow and Saturday. I'm joining in with Day 2 on Saturday with this pencil colouring on kraft card you can see a peek of above which uses the Floral Mix Background set among others. I hope you'll join me again then.
Your watercoloured butterflies are stunning. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful card.
Hi. Initially I did not love the Comfort and Prayers stamp set.
But, you have changed my mind w your lovely card.
I would like to have a video of your creating this card, if you could tell me if you produced one and where to find it?

The final version of the SIAC IA Rules retains the key innovations of the draft version released in February 2016 (see our previous post here). In particular, the SIAC IA Rules provide for the tendering of amicus curiae submissions by third parties, grant tribunals the authority to require the disclosure of any third-party funding arrangements, and allow parties to an investment arbitration to apply for relief from an emergency arbitrator if both parties expressly agree. These innovations and other provisions in the SIAC IA Rules have been tweaked since the draft rules were released in February 2016, as we explain below.
As noted in our previous blog post, the SIAC IA Rules grant a tribunal the discretion to allow a non-disputing party the right to make submissions even without the consent of the parties to the dispute. Tribunals are also granted the authority to allow a non-disputing party to appear at a hearing and to grant them access to documents related to the proceedings. While this increased transparency will be welcomed by some users, others may be wary of the loss of privacy and confidentiality which ordinarily attaches to arbitration proceedings.
The new rules are the first of any major arbitral institution to grant tribunals the express authority to require the disclosure of any third-party funding arrangements (and there is no equivalent provision in the standard SIAC Rules). Some third-party funders have expressed unease with this power.
The emergency arbitrator provisions remain largely unchanged from those included in the draft SIAC IA Rules, which we discussed here.
The confidentiality provisions of the SIAC IA Rules have been slightly modified since the draft released in February 2016. Specifically, SIAC may now publish limited information regarding the existence of an investment dispute even without the parties' consent. This information will include, among other things, the nationality of the parties but not their identity (although in the case of a respondent state, this will effectively amount to the same thing). SIAC may also publish redacted awards and decisions on challenges to arbitrators without the parties' consent.
The final version of the SIAC IA Rules includes a Schedule of Fees, which is identical to the Schedule of Fees applicable to arbitrations under the 6th edition of the standard SIAC Rules. As a consequence, the cost of arbitrations under the SIAC IA Rules will generally be lower than those of arbitrations under the ICSID Rules, especially where the amount in dispute is relatively low.3 For example, the filing fee under the SIAC IA Rules is S$2,000 compared to US$25,000 under the ICSID Rules. The one-off administration fee under the SIAC IA Rules ranges from S$3,800 to S$95,000, depending on the amount in dispute, whereas ICSID charges a fixed administration fee of US$35,000 for each year of a dispute. Arbitrator fees under the SIAC IA Rules are also calculated on the basis of the amount in dispute, whereas arbitrators in ICSID proceedings are entitled to a fee of US$3,000 per day. This may prove to be one of the more attractive features of the SIAC IA Rules for investors and states.
Some other modifications have been made to the draft rules released in February 2016, which mostly bring the SIAC IA Rules into conformity with the 6th edition of the standard SIAC Rules (which came into force on 1 August 2016; see our briefing here).
A party challenging an arbitrator is required to pay a challenge fee (currently set at S$8,000). This is designed to cover SIAC's costs in administering a challenge and to discourage frivolous challenges.
There is no longer a default seat for arbitrations under the SIAC IA Rules (previously Singapore was deemed the seat of arbitration in the absence of an agreement of the parties).
Tribunals are no longer obliged to close proceedings within 30 days of the last hearing, though they must do so 'as promptly as possible'.
The SIAC IA Rules expressly state that all pleadings are to be accompanied by any supporting witness statements and expert reports. In contrast, there is greater flexibility under the standard SIAC Rules such that witness statements and expert reports can be tendered after an initial pleadings phase.
SIAC has produced an innovative set of rules which appear capable of meeting the unique demands of investment arbitration while retaining the core advantages of commercial arbitration proceedings. Given the success of other recent innovations introduced by SIAC, including the availability of emergency arbitrators and expedited proceedings which are required to be concluded within six months, it will not be surprising if SIAC finds itself administering a burgeoning caseload of investment disputes in the coming years.
The SIAC IA Rules will be discussed at length in a forthcoming second edition of 'A Guide to the SIAC Arbitration Rules', published by Oxford University Press.
 The Stockholm Chamber of Commerce's latest set of rules, which also came into force on 1 January 2017, include an appendix with limited modifications of its standard rules for investor-state disputes. The Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration's latest set of rules, which came into force on 1 December 2016, allow the SCIA to administer investor-state arbitration rules under the UNCITRAL Rules.
 Mark Mangan, Lucy Reed, John Choong, A Guide to the SIAC Arbitration Rules (OUP, 2014), p.101.
 It is more difficult to make a general comparison to ad hoc arbitrations conducted under the UNCITRAL Rules, where there are no filing or administrative fees and the tribunal may determine its own fees (subject to a requirement of reasonableness).

Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks is a junior canon novel set in the prequel era written by Jason Fry. It was published on March 03, 2015, by Disney Lucasfilm Press as part of Servants of the Empire.
As a new student at Lothal's Imperial Academy, Zare Leonis does everything it takes to pass as a model cadet. But secretly, he is a hidden enemy among Imperial loyalists, determined to discover the truth about his missing sister and to bring down the Empire. Luckily, he has his tech-savvy girlfriend Merei by his side, willing to help him however she can-even if it means dealing with criminals in the shadiest parts of Capital City. In the meantime Zare must face down a dangerous foe of his own: Lieutenant Curahee [sic], who seems bent on pushing Zare to his breaking point. Join these rebellious cadets as they risk it all to take on the fearsome Empire.


and that data can solve some of our toughest problems.
When Megan Smith was in public school in inner city Buffalo, N.Y., her teachers created a mandatory science fair. The teachers didn't want the students to simply go through the motions when choosing a project — instead, they pushed students to choose something that they were really passionate about. The answer was obvious for Smith. The energy crisis was in full swing, and she'd heard that Jimmy Carter was having solar panels installed on the White House.
"I became interested in how we could use green energy to solve this problem that fossil fuels had gotten us into. So, I looked at solar, wind, geothermal, and hydrogen storage," she said.
Smith followed this passion with a trip to Boulder, Colorado, where she participated in a tech project over the summer with a curriculum focused on solar energy and energy engineering. She worked with other kids from around the country and discovered mechanical, civil and other kinds of engineering. That experience convinced her to go to an engineering school. Smith attended MIT, where she majored in mechanical engineering and eventually worked at the institute's renowned MIT Media Lab.
She learned the power of teamwork by getting involved in a solar car project that designed and raced vehicles 2,000 miles across Australia, but soon she changed directions.
From there, Smith's career took some interesting turns. She went to Apple Japan and worked on some basic services like Apple link and AOL, as well as early multimedia, CD-ROMS and video. Then she met Bill Atkinson who was one of the co-creators of Macintosh, and he hired her for his startup called General Magic.
"We worked to build a smart phone company, way before smart phones existed," she said.
General Magic worked on numerous ideas that were revolutionary for a phone at that point, such as touch screens, LCDs, and connectors. But Smith said that while the company was correct directionally, it had formed too early. But she noted that the people there, sometimes multiple companies later, were the ones who brought us the iPod, iPhone and Android.
Smith worked on a lot of hardware as well as a lot of partnerships while at General Magic, so she was interacting with Sony, Motorola, Philips, Apple, as well as with telecom carriers like AT&T. This allowed her to learn the business side of things. She describes her time there as like going to business school, allowing her to apprentice, train, and master different aspects of the job.
Ultimately, that company (which is the subject of a brand new documentary film) didn't succeed, and Smith went to work for Planet Out, founded by her friend Tom Riley, an early leader in queer media. Smith rose to become CEO of the organization and got it to a cash flow positive position before it merged with Gay.com.
She then took a bit of time off when her oldest son was born, and then went to Google for 11 years. When she arrived, Google had about 1,200 employees, but it grew to more than 50,000 during her tenure, in which she eventually served as VP of business development. She helped Google acquire companies that became products such as Google Earth, Maps and Spreadsheets — anything that was product-centric.
Smith was tapped by President Obama to be his third Chief Technology Officer, a role she held from 2014 to 2017.
"President Obama saw a need early on, and asked, 'Why do I have a surgeon general and a lawyer and an operator and a communicator, but I don't have a technical person in the core team? I have them, of course, at NASA and NIH and Energy and in the lab, and those are amazing technical people. The government has an IT team that's supporting everyone and building the systems, but why don't I have a technical policy capacity builder, just like I have surgeon general or a lawyer?' And that was a pretty new idea. It still really is, it's really the beginning of digital, open data driven, collaborative government," Smith said.
The U.S. CTO role has now been put into law by Congress. It sits together with the President's Science Advisor in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Smith said. But it's also an assistant to the President.
The CTO role is to help the President and his/her team harness the power of data innovation and technology on behalf of the American people. The President also has a Science Advisor, generally a scientist or someone with technical/STEM background who's run labs or done research. According to Smith, the CTO's more of an entrepreneurial disrupter techie.
"The idea is pulling in that entrepreneurial character that we see in Silicon Valley right now — to advance the capabilities of the government and the American people in these areas, and bring that know-how into the policy conversations," she said.
One of the things Smith and her team focused on was open data. They opened more than 200,000 data sets. This isn't private data, such as from the IRS, but general public data from the U.S. Geological Survey (helpful for mapping apps), weather data and NOAA data sets, HUD, the Census, and so forth. This helped create things like the College Scorecard, where young people who are choosing schools can look at how much each one costs, what's the graduation rate, what kind of money do people make when they leave.
There's a methodology that comes from Silicon Valley that Smith is very fond of. She calls it Scout and Scale.
As an example, Smith's team created TechHire, a program for adults trying to get into tech jobs.
Smith feels that government needs to keep thinking technology and data.
"This pattern of looking to tech is emerging massively at commercial enterprises like Walmart. It hadn't been emerging as much in government except in the deeply technical ones, like a DOE. Think about the Department of Transportation. When Secretary Fox came into that job, there was no conversation in his confirmation hearings about technology at scale. And yet by the time he finished, he had worked on all the rules for UAVs, for self-driving cars, for next gen air traffic. His had become a technical agency. Before that, it was much more civil engineering, mechanical engineering, energy engineering — now, it's that plus digital.
Smith has long been passionate about bringing more diversity into the engineering and tech worlds, from women to people of color to the LGBTQ community. And she has some specific advice for young women or other minorities considering a career in engineering.
Smith said that there is a lot of culture that can be debilitating to certain people.
Smith said that the only companies and organizations that make progress are ones that realize diversity should be shortlisted in terms of priorities. For many companies, it's a shareholder value and they put it in their top 20. But that's just too low, she insisted.
Smith, who is now the CEO of shift7, a recent startup in the tech collaboration space, said she feels that it's really important for engineers to work on their communication skills, just like everybody else.
"Anybody who is a good communicator has usually worked on those skills, and practiced speeches and gotten feedback, learned to write. You know, make an argument, put yourself out there. It's really important in any profession, engineering or otherwise, you have to be able to sell your idea," she said.

Aid finally reaches Haiti as hurricane death toll grows
Residents at a shelter in the school Liliane Mars Dumarsais Estime fight for food during a delivery after Hurricane Matthew in Les Cayes, Haiti.
David McFadden Jeremie
October 10 2016 2:30 AM
A small airstrip at the edge of town hums with activity. Aid convoys are arriving from the capital, now some roads washed out by Hurricane Matthew have been cleared. A barge carrying food and water is moored offshore.
https://www.independent.ie/world-news/north-america/aid-finally-reaches-haiti-as-hurricane-death-toll-grows-35116715.html
https://www.independent.ie/world-news/44e7c/35116713.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/2016-10-10_wor_25352602_I1.JPG
An international response is finally getting underway as Haitian authorities try to gauge the full extent of the staggering blow delivered by Hurricane Matthew, including hundreds dead and tens of thousands of homes obliterated.
The precise death toll remained uncertain yesterday. Guillaume Silvera, a senior official with the Civil Protection Agency in the storm-blasted Grand-Anse Department, which includes Jeremie, said at least 522 deaths were confirmed there alone - not including people in several remote communities still cut off by collapsed roads and bridges.
Haiti began three days of formal national mourning yesterday under a decree issued by President Jocelerme Privert, even as aid began to move toward flattened communities.
"It's beginning to pick up now," said Stephane Rolland, a regional coordinator for the International Federation of the Red Cross, as workers unloaded blankets, soap, bleach and other critical items in Jeremie on Saturday.
There are clearly limits, though, including the fact that the airstrip in Jeremie is unable to accommodate large cargo planes, and only operates in the daytime. Many of the villages in the southwestern peninsula are difficult to reach. And people are growing increasingly desperate after losing everything when the storm ripped through the area on Tuesday.
People gather at the shore after Hurricane Matthew passes in Jeremie, Haiti
One woman stared with outstretched arms as a UN convoy drove through town. "I am hungry. I hope they can help," said Fabienne Charles, explaining that she would normally be working as a market vendor but lost her supplies in the storm.
Government officials estimate that at least 350,000 people need assistance, and concern was growing over an increase in cholera cases following widespread flooding unleashed by Matthew. An ongoing cholera outbreak has already killed roughly 10,000 people and sickened more than 800,000 since 2010, when the infectious disease was introduced into the country's biggest river from a UN base where Nepalese peacekeepers were deployed.
Maria Sofia Sanon, a health worker overseeing the open-air cholera treatment centre in a corner of Jeremie's main hospital, said they were ill-equipped to deal with patients. The area was strewn with broken tree branches, and a group of young mothers sat outside holding up the arms of their glassy-eyed children being rehydrated via IVs.
"They're not supposed to be in the sun, but we have no more beds," Sanon said.
The World Food Program says there has been massive destruction of crops. Hospitals and clinics have been damaged or destroyed as they struggle to deal with an increase in patients with injuries sustained during the storm as well as an apparent increase in cholera. UNICEF said that in Grand Anse alone there were 66,000 houses destroyed and 20,000 heavily damaged.
"Information gathered from various sources in the field suggests that the human toll (dead and injured) will be heavier than the current official figures," the agency said in a report.
Jocelyne Saint was part of the crowd that lined up in an orderly fashion to get food as aid began to arrive, including shipments of food and other emergency supplies from the US Agency for International Development carried by waves of military transport helicopters.
The mother of three children whose home was destroyed said officials were handing out wheat, beans, oil and salt.
"Yes, they brought food, but it's not sufficient," she said.
"There's no water. There's no charcoal."
As aid trickled into Jeremie, Jislene Jean-Baptiste surveyed what remained of the one-room house that the grandmother shares with her three daughters and their children. There wasn't much left. Storm surge flowed across the road and drenched her belongings in waist-deep salt water, washing away the stores of rice and sugar she regularly sold at the market to support her family. Then the wind tore off her roof.
"That storm was the most terrifying thing that ever happened here," she said.

Fizzle or Sizzle, blogging is therapeutic.
Hello Gentlereaders, (yes I squashed those words together, leave hate comments below) I am posting this to let you know that I have not given up. Despite missing a post here and there recently, I'm still kicking this pig.
I write this blog because it helps me to be accountable to the blessings I've been handed. Unable to work the average full or part-time gig due to disability **That's the FIZZLE**, this endeavor (despite missing a few posts) helps keep me moving. It keeps me focused on staying connected with people. It allows me to get out of my house, work at my own pace, and meet new and interesting people. People with incredible talent that needs to be shared with the world.
It also (hopefully) brightens somebodies day occasionally. Maybe lifts a spirit of someone out there – either by the gorgeous art, or by learning that they are not so unlike some of the amazing folks I've interviewed. At it's heart it is a labor of love. Love of writing, love or art, love of books and authors and people in general.
It is also a kind of social therapy for me. Many folks with chronic conditions like mine, tend to become social hermits. As their condition progresses, their world becomes smaller. I've seen it happen, and I refuse to go down without a fight. My blog and the people it allows me to meet, learn from, and befriend, helps me not to disappear beneath the lead blanket of health issues. It helps me to hone my skills as a writer, and as a person. It has helped broaden my mind, and open my heart. This little experiment of a blog, has been a complete blessing to me, and I hope at least a small one to you all.
That said, if you've read this far, congratulations on your tenacity. And thank you for sticking with me. I won't go into the gory details of what's derailed this month's post, but suffice it to say I am back on the trail of yet another fun and interesting interview. So check back next month and thanks again!

As we celebrate the 30 year anniversary of one of the networking industry's most prolific standards, 802.11, I can't help but think about what new standards will drive the adoption of IT for the next 30 years.
As we all know, standards are not only critical for getting new technologies going. They are also essential for widespread adoption, as they set the bar for quality, innovation, and multi-vendor interoperability.
So, is there a new technology that promises to change the IT landscape forever, but requires community leadership and coordination to make it happen? Yes. It is AIOps, or more broadly referred to as AI for IT operations.
While AI is most often associated with IBM Watson playing Jeopardy, or diagnosing health conditions, or just answering questions in the form of an Amazon home assistant, it has also become a core component for IT. Not only does AI improve visibility into the IT user experience, it is critical for automating operations and lowering costs – key elements as IT staff are constantly being forced to do more with less. In the future, AI also promises to shift IT from reactive to proactive tasks with the introduction of completely self-healing networks.
As is the case with many core technologies, there are many devices across the IT stack that must leverage AI – i.e. they must be able to share data and leverage common AI models in an interoperable format. This includes wireless LANs, routers, switches, firewalls, and WANs among other segments. By creating a cross-platform AI engine across these systems, IT can enjoy the benefits of a common user profile that is fully automated with unprecedented insight. This makes IT more strategic than ever to business operations.
But who will take the reins on the standardization of AI for IT?
One can argue that this falls outside the scope of the networking industry's top two standards bodies – the IEEE and IETF – which are primarily focused on layer 2 and layer 3 technologies respectively. So absent of a clear body to own an AI for IT standard, how will it get done?
The answer will most likely come in the form of an open vendor consortium. Leaders from the different IT elements will have to come together to write, publish and promote a common AI-for-IT language, upon which each company can innovate and differentiate.
AIOps cannot happen in isolation. IT systems are intrinsically linked, so an AI for IT system must cross the entire stack and bring disparate systems together. The sooner the community can hammer out the details and publish open specifications, the faster we will all benefit from AI in the enterprise.

Fiscal Spotlight: Tales from WWII-era Hawaii, the LA Art Scene and a Filipino Superhero
by Matt Warren
The first Friday of each month is #FiscalSpotlight—a special monthly round up of projects, at all stages of production, working their way through our Fiscal Sponsorship pipeline. Enjoy!
If you've kept up with our regular #FiscalSpotlight columns, then you probably know that, typically, we like to tease out some sort of unifying theme between whatever two or three projects we've selected to spotlight each month. And for June? Well, erm… let's just say that some months are easier than others. Frankly, if you can uncover any sort of credible running theme between these three eclectic tales of WWII-era Hawaiian taxi dancers, legendary California sculptors and eggroll-powered Filipino-American superheroes, please: let us know.
But really, there's method to our madness. The larger lesson of these three diverse projects is that the advantages of fiscal sponsorship—namely, the ability to claim Film Independent's own 501(c)3 nonprofit status to solicit institutional grants and tax-deductible financial contributions—is available to all sorts of visual work; from narratives to nonfiction, features, shorts and new media.
Regardless of its size, scope or final form, your dream project almost certainly has at least one thing in common with all the rest: you need more money.
This month's eclectic mix of projects is The Last Taxi Dance, Stan Bitters Modern Primitive and Lumpia with a Vengeance. Learn more about each film and how you can lend your support to them below.
LAST TAXI DANCE
Writer/Director: Brayden Yoder
Producer: Ciara Leina'ala Lacy
Project type: Narrative Short
Honolulu, December 1945. Months after Hiroshima, the city finds itself a way station for thousands of returning veterans desperate for the company of the fairer sex. With the shutdown of wartime brothels, a peculiar ritual called "taxi dancing" becomes the only game in town. Downtown ballrooms fill with battle-hardened men desperate to dance with exotic beauties—but all for a price. From atop a bandstand, Mahea sings along with a six-piece ensemble for a crowd of GIs she privately resents. She has little use for them or the American government that stole the land from its native people. After the lights have come on and the crowd has left, Mahea sits alone on stage, lost in her thoughts—until the return of a lone Soldier. Upset at this invasion of her sanctuary, Mahea agrees to dance with him, but only to put him on trial. A taut tête-à-tête unfolds around the room as Mahea defends the honor of her people with every step. Yet when Mahea is presented with the Soldier's true plan, she finds herself in an untenable position.

A Honolulu native, writer/director Brayden Yoder spent five years studying direction at the Film & Television Institute of India. His short film Breakdown won the Audience Award at the 2014 HollyShorts in Los Angeles. From 2014-2015 he was selected to participate in the WGA's veterans' writing program, having served as a U.S. Army officer in Germany and Iraq. He is the founder of Clearing Barrel Productions, a veterans-owned production company.
STAN BITTERS MODERN PRIMITIVE
Director/Producer: Francesca Di Amico
Director of Photography/Producer: Claudia Unger
Status: Engagement/Outreach
This documentary explores the career artist Stan Bitters, beginning with his origins at art school in Los Angeles in 1957. After school, Bitters (whose sculptural pieces later transitioned into large-scale architectural works) secured a job at a clay company in Fresno, assuming the role of resident potter. Bitters pursued his own direction, cultivating a signature style of ceramics work that combined slabs of clay into weighty, spontaneous sculptural work. This work evolved into massive murals stretching 40 feet in width and height, integrated with the surrounding architecture. By the early 1970s demand for Bitters' pieces grew. His abstract large clay works became synonymous with the idea of "California living," with commissions proliferating throughout the state. After six decades of following his heart, Bitters has proven he's a true master; his work is widely sought by collectors and his radical forms continue to inspire a new generation of artists.

A native of Palm Springs, producer/director Francesca Di Amico is the recipient of 29 film awards from groups including the Smithsonian Institute and The Anti-Defamation League. Director of Photography/Producer Claudia Unger is an internationally recognized commercial and fine art photographer, honored by the Lucie Awards and by Lincoln Center.
LUMPIA WITH A VENGEANCE
Co-Writer/Director/Executive Producer: Patricio Ginelsa
Producers: Jeff Lam, Rey Cuerdo
Status: Production
Project type: Narrative Feature
Fifteen years after the cult classic original, the eggroll-armed avenger returns to Fogtown in a reboot/sequel to 2003's Lumpia—the homemade movie that became a surprise viral hit inside the Filipino-American community. In celebration of Lumpia's 10th anniversary comes Lumpia 2: Lumpia With a Vengeance, starring former UFC fighter Mark Muñoz, April Labson, Darion Basco and cult film icon Danny Trejo, who star alongside much of the reunited cast of the original film. Lumpia With a Vengeance may, on its surface, be an action comedy. But at heart, it's a community film—developed, funded and starring the Filipino-American community. Plus it makes use of the one iconic food that defines the community: LUMPIA!

GameFly: New York Now Serviced By East Coast
July 23, 2007 Ben-Dutka — No Comments
Most would consider New York to be part of the East Coast, but GameFly hasn't…until now.
A recent e-mail sent out to subscribers has announced that the state of New York is now included in the shipping schedule for GameFly's East Coast Distribution Center. They only recently opened the East Coast offices, which has allowed gamers on this side of the country to receive their games a whole lot faster. But for whatever reason, the online video game renter still used their West Coast center to distribute to New York. Thankfully, it didn't take long to cater more effectively to New York residents.
"Your area will now be supported by this new Shipping Center. Depending on inventory availability, you may continue to receive some shipments out of Los Angeles. We expect your shipping times to improve over the next few months."
Okay, so you guys might still be getting a few titles from L.A., but at least the center closest to home will also be supporting your game renting needs.

It's pretty much the holy grail of exercise: get better results while putting in less time. I mean, who wouldn't want that?
There's just one problem though. If you're like most people, you're a creature of habit. Once you've discovered some exercises that you enjoy, or a specific workout that feels comfortable, it can be hard to deviate from that routine.
As a personal trainer, I've met clients who have been using the same workout program for years, with only minor tweaks here and there, and they wonder why their results have been so minimal.
In order to see meaningful change from your exercise, you have to make meaningful changes to the way you exercise. Which is why I've rounded up four radical workout ideas that will help you break free from boring routines, and start to see faster progress all while spending less time exercising.
Before we dive into these workout tips, it's important to keep in mind that you don't need to implement all of these ideas. Choose one technique, apply it to your workouts for 4-8 weeks, and then add a new challenge.
By progressively overloading your muscles and your body with new hurdles, you will be sure to see continual improvements over time. And what does that mean? No more plateaus. We're all in.
Workout density refers to the total number of exercise sets you perform in a workout. Many people choose 5-6 exercises to be included in their workout, and perform 3 sets of each exercise. That leads to a total density of 15-18 sets.
But what would happen if you dramatically increase your density?
Try reducing your rest periods so that you can squeeze 5 sets of each exercise into the same length of workout. This one tweak will challenge your muscular endurance and your cardiovascular conditioning, both of which will give your metabolism a major boost (a.k.a. say hello to continual fat-burning!).
To get the most out of this one, try putting a time limit on your workouts to force you to focus. If you "have to" be out of the gym in 40 minutes, then there's less room for chit-chat and needless water breaks.
Sometimes it can be hard to motivate yourself to push yourself to do a bit more or to work a bit harder. That's why I love using tag-team training to spice things up.
This tag-team approach offers two really important benefits. First, your rest time will be dramatically reduced because each of you only rests while the other is exercising. This is a fast-paced workout.
Second, there is an element of friendly competition mixed with encouragement and support. If your partner just ripped off an amazing set of squats, there's a good likelihood you'll want to return the favor. You both win!
This strategy works especially well for bodyweight workouts or those that require little equipment. If there are no weights to change or machines to set up, a tag-team workout can be blazingly quick and effective.
One of the most often overlooked variables that can be used to ramp up the effectiveness of a workout it the tempo. How fast is each repetition performed?
By slowing down the tempo of your workouts, your muscles are experiencing greater time under load. Your muscles are contracting to resist a force for a longer period of time.
Imagine doing 10 push-ups. Most people might take 8-10 seconds to fire off these push-ups, but think about what would happen to your muscles if you had to lower into each push-up using an agonizingly slow count to 5. Suddenly those 10 push-ups put your muscles under load for up to 60 seconds or more.
A slower tempo can create muscle tearing (something you want in order to build stronger muscles) with far fewer reps than you'd need using a faster tempo. You will be in and out of the gym in less time, having done fewer sets, but will have challenged your body in ways it's never encountered before. Moral of the story: slow it down.
Who said that cardio and weights need to be mutually exclusive?
One of my favorite tricks to help clients get faster results, particularly those clients who are looking to shed fat, is to mix their cardio and weights sessions. This is known as concurrent training and it has show to be a fantastic way to get more done in less time.
Let's say you like to jog on the treadmill. Grab one or two sets of dumbbells and place them on the floor beside you. You want all of your equipment nearby so that there's as little transition time between exercises as possible.
Complete a short yet challenging jog/run on the treadmill for no longer than 5 minutes. Hop off your machine and perform 1-3 sets of a given exercise, let's say lunges, before getting back on the treadmill.
Now your goal is to run on the treadmill for the same distance and in the same amount of time as you did during your first run. You're competing against yourself!
Follow that cardio set with another 1-3 sets of strength training before completing yet another cardio interval. Repeat for even 30 minutes and you will see just how challenging (and effective) concurrent training can be.


My medical emergency this week has offered me an opportunity for intense reflection time in every area of my life. I don't have any answers or revelations yet. I'm still down in the weeds of it all. But I'm trying and healing. And right now, that's enough.


In 1963, a band burst onto the world stage and single-handedly transformed popular culture. The Beatles and their music was dynamic, positive and modern. Yet these four lovable Mop-Tops were revolutionaries who would pull the world out of its black and white past and into a technicolor future.
HOW THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORLD looks at the impact of their artistic evolution and the wider revolution they instigated, from music, fashion, film and art to the British class system, the anti-war movement, the counterculture, Eastern spirituality, psychedelia, the riots of 1968, and how these four young men from Liverpool transformed the world forever.
Featuring exclusive interviews with former head of Apple Records, Tony Bramwell; Beatles' associate and Underground scenester, Barry Miles; art curator and close friend of John and Yoko, John Dunbar; Merseybeat! publisher, Billy Harry; as well as authors and historians Jonathan Gould, Chris Ingham, Robert Christgau, Anthony DeCurtis and Mark Paytress.

Cannabis Voter Project hopes to mobilize U.S. pot smokers at the polls in 2020
The project "informs, registers and turns out voters" who have an interest in cannabis and related policy

Although the majority of U.S. states and territories have legalized medical and/or recreational cannabis, the drug remains illegal under federal law.
U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris proposes decriminalizing marijuana at federal level
Legalizing cannabis in U.S. part of Elizabeth Warren's plan for criminal justice reform
Joe Biden says marijuana should remain an illegal misdemeanor
But one Colorado-based group is hoping that will change next year.
Cannabis consumers and industry workers want to increase their political power at the polls in 2020—thanks, in part, to the Cannabis Voter Project.
The project "informs, registers and turns out voters" who have an interest in cannabis and related policy, notes its website, and has the goal of getting "at least one million self-identified Cannabis Voters to the polls" in next year's federal election.
"I think the marijuana industry is learning that they have political power. And when you have political power, you assert it by turning out your voters on particular issues," RBI Strategies and Research partner Rick Ridder told CPR.
"You know, seven years ago, it was a single issue driver for many [cannabis users]. For many voters now that it's legalized, you're getting into nuances, and when you get into nuances, voters move on to other areas of concern, whether it be the economy, whether it becomes choice."
Non-profit HeadCount, which describes itself as a "non-partisan organization that works with musicians to promote participation in democracy," is at the helm of the project. The organization has ties to acts such as Jay-Z, Phish, Dave Matthews Band and Wilco, and has been registering concertgoers—over 600,000 to date—to vote.
However, HeadCount executive director Andy Bernstein says the group does not intend to pressure cannabis voters to cast their ballot one way or another. "We are neutral players, Bernstein said. "We are not Democrat or Republican or climate activists or gun activists," he added.
Some industry experts are hoping weed's entrance into mainstream culture over the past few years will increase cannabis users' political clout.
"Before, when it was more underground and counter-culture, we didn't have that voice,"said California-based CannaCraft co-founder Dennis Hunter. The company has donated US$100,000 to the project.
"What we're really seeing now, and we're employing tons of people, we're getting their attention now and it's just going to make a difference in the coming election that we stay engaged."

Hallucinations is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Emergency Consult.
Hallucinations are relatively common in children and adolescents and are often developmentally normal. Most children with hallucinations do not have psychosis. Hallucinations can occur as part of a delirium, such as from fever. As with the adult patient, carefully conduct a search for a medical or neurologic etiology.
In the elderly patient, hallucinations are most often from an organic cause. They can commonly accompany dementia, depression, medication reactions and substance abuse, and are often associated with agitation. Atypical antipsychotic agents are effective treatment for hallucinations with agitation in the elderly.
