On the eve of Earth Day, Apple is doing a big media push to highlight its environmental progress.
As part of that push, it gave Wired writer Steven Levy access to its new environmental executive, Lisa Jackson.
Jackson left her job as head of the Environmental Protection Agency a few months ago. He reports directly to CEO Tim Cook.
Most of Apple's plans for becoming greener started before her time, but Jackson is now holding Apple's environmental feet to the fire, helping it to green up its manufacturing processes, says Wired's Levy.
Apple used to be a pretty big data center polluter, according to Greenpeace who for years targeted Apple with demonstrations and petitions asking it to clean up its act.
Today Apple's data centers, the place that runs iCloud, use 100% renewable energy, earning praise from that very same environmental watchdog, Greenpeace. In a report last month, Greenpeace wrote: "Apple's commitment to renewable energy has helped set a new bar for the industry, illustrating in very concrete terms that a 100% renewable internet is within its reach."
Apple is now trying to power all of its facilities with renewable energy, including its stores and is making commendable progress.
In 2013, 73% of the energy it used for its facilities was green: 86% at corporate campuses, 100% for its data centers. So far in 2014, more than 120 U.S. retail stores are using renewable energy, too, it says.
While all of that can make you feel better about using iCloud for your email and photos, or visiting the Apple Genius bar, Jackson isn't as easily satisfied.
Most of Apple's carbon footprint actually comes from manufacturing devices like iPads, iPhones and Macs, not from powering its buildings. In 2013, Apple's facilities produced .6 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions while manufacturing produced 23.6 metric tons, it said.
Jackson, who reports directly to CEO Tim Cook in her role of vice president of Environmental Initiatives, is working on that bigger, harder problem.
For instance, last year an engineer told her that Apple's use of aluminum, a major material for its products, was having more of an environmental impact than Apple thought it was. She pressed for new ways to measure that impact even though it meant that Apple's 2013 environmental report couldn't show the kind of progress the company wanted.
She told Wired's Levy: "We should challenge the most innovative company—which I think Apple is-to do everything it wants, but do it better. To give you all the data you could possibly want, but none of the emissions that go along with it."
If she and the engineers at Apple could figure that out - and the sooner the better - the whole world will be a lot better off.

I love the way this curricula moves logically through the solar system explaining all the details. My son and I sit and read it like a book, then do the experiments together. There is also a notebook that we do (downloaded the files for free and printed it). There are no tests but knowledge is reviewed by narration (oral and on notebooking pages).
The experiments are clear, and use everyday items.
I love the Apologia aspect of this curriculum. My son is learning that although others believe in evolution we believe differently and it is scientifically based. He is learning that it's OK to believe differently and that lots of things can be "proven" by science. He has been talking to our neighbour (13 yrs old) about evolution and he has answers to his questions!
The book is quality hardcover, excellent pictures.

Meet Laurent Laor and Viveka Health…
Silver Krieger
Viveka Health Founder Laurent Laor.
New York, NY – Laurent Laor MSc MBA, AHFI, is an author, speaker and founder of Viveka Health, a company whose mission is "to drive value in healthcare through automation and intelligence."
By eliminating fraud, waste, abuse and errors, Viveka's technologies reduces benefit fund healthcare expenses by up to 20-percent. Their solutions for member eligibility, claims processing and payments go far beyond typical software because of their focus on value creation.
"We define value simply — outcomes divided by costs," Laor says. "We then pursue solutions that improve outcomes and reduce costs. We make those metrics transparent to our clients"
Over his 25-year career in healthcare technology, Laor has built many exciting solutions for healthcare payers, providers, and patients. LaborPress met with Laor to learn about him and how labor unions and benefit funds can leverage Viveka and other technology to improve fund performance. The result of those conversations will be printed in a forthcoming series.
While attending NYU, Laor worked at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. It was there he found his passion for healthcare.
"I was a part of a team that developed life critical software for intra-aortic balloon pumps, and life changing artificial vision systems for the blind. I love making a difference for people," Laor says.
His work was recognized by the National Library of Medicine and he was awarded a fellowship to study Biomedical and Clinical Informatics at Johns Hopkins University.
While there, Laor studied how computer systems can support doctors and patients when making medical decisions. He formed a company — Good Network — based on his research. The company found some success but stumbled in the wake of the recession of 2008. Laor then went to Rockefeller University as the Director of Hospital Information Systems. He obtained an MBA at Yale focused on Healthcare Economics and quickly landed a role at the global consulting firm Accenture.
"That experience opened my eyes to [health] insurance carriers and payer operations. They have lots of problems, mostly because the incentives are misaligned," he says. "As an example, carriers compete on 'discount to charges,' a ratio that describes the difference between what the medical provider charges and what the carriers pay. Let's assume the insurance company negotiates an unheard of 90% discount to charges. Sounds great, right? But what happens is that hospitals charge $50 for aspirin and insurance companies pay $5 for a pill that costs two cents at the drugstore. In fact a recent JAMA article found that nearly one trillion dollars is wasted annually, mostly as a result of misaligned incentives."
Viveka's technology specifically targets these misaligned incentives by reducing fraud, waste, abuse and errors.
"Our first client was Teamsters Local 272 in NYC," Laor says. "We started by solving some of their fraud and error issues and quickly branched into waste and abuse, which are in fact much bigger problems. Our eligibility and mobile app solutions reduce administrative waste by doing things like answering phone calls with Amazon Alexa, replacing postage and handling with document delivery through our mobile and fraud detection tools just like you have with your credit card. Incorrectly processed claims and poor communication are also big contributors to waste. We drive efficiency ensuring claims are paid correctly, communicating with members and providers in real-time in the language of their choice, and incentivizing everybody to do the right thing. That's how we achieve superior outcomes. By connecting the dots we help Labor save between 10-20% of their overall healthcare expense."

MEP Kelly's Tullamore Public Meeting to discuss Transition away from Peat
Published: Tue, 19 February 2019
MEP for Ireland South and leader of Fine Gael in the European Parliament, Seán Kelly, will next week host a public meeting in Tullamore on Bord na Mona's decision to transition away from the use of peat in power stations.
Mr. Kelly's meeting takes place from 19:00 – 21:00 on Thursday the 28th of February in The Bridge House hotel. It is open to all and will feature presentations from Aleksandra Tomczak of the European Commission, John MacNamara, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Bord na Móna, and Willie Noone, Energy Sector Organiser at SIPTU.
Speaking from Brussels today (Tuesday) about his upcoming event, Mr. Kelly made the following comments.
"I am looking forward to being in Tullamore to discuss this important issue. I am holding this meeting to give workers and locals the opportunity to hear from key policy makers and experts and discuss with them the possible ways forward for the Midlands.
"Climate Change has been at the centre of my work for a number of years. I was part of the Parliament's delegation at the historic COP21 in Paris, and have subsequently been part of the delegations to COP22 in Marrakesh, and COP24 in Katowice.
"I am a firm supporter of ambitious EU action to decarbonise our economy and address the causes of Climate Change. However, I strongly believe that the transition to a low carbon economy must be inclusive and fair, and that we must find ways to ensure that no citizens or workers are left behind.
"The fair and inclusive transition to a low carbon economy is a key part of the European Commission's new 2050 Climate Strategy, and there is no region in Europe that demonstrates the pressing need for policies that make this transition fairer more than the Midlands.
"I look forward to meeting those affected and addressing this issue of huge concern for us all", he concluded.
All interested in attending are invited to RSVP to [email protected] Registration begins at 6.30pm where refreshments will be served, and the event will run from 7-9pm.

Home Cherry Hill News Stankiewicz and DiVietro determined to make Cherry Hill West baseball a winner...
Stankiewicz and DiVietro determined to make Cherry Hill West baseball a winner in 2017
The two All-Olympic Conference First Team players will anchor the Lions this spring.
Cherry Hill High School West senior John Stankiewicz and junior Nick DiVietro know how special it is to play for the Lions baseball program.
Both seniors grew up on the east side of Cherry Hill, but opted to attend Cherry Hill West with the hope of getting the Lions back to the state championship game for the first time in 25 years.
"I saw everyone had one goal, and it was winning," Stankiewicz said of the program.
Stankiewicz and DiVietro are key players for a Cherry Hill West team that has won a combined 35 games over the past two seasons. Stankiewicz is Cherry Hill West's ace on the mound, while DiVietro anchors the outfield defense and serves as the Lions' leadoff hitter.
Head coach Dan McMaster talked of how Stankiewicz and DiVietro are the heart of the team.
"They're an example of players who are not from the West side of Cherry Hill who decided to come here to really change the direction of our program," McMaster said.
Stankiewicz, an All-Olympic Conference first team selection in 2016, established himself as the Lions' ace in 2016. He went the entire month of April without allowing an earned run last season. His best start of the year may have came against Washington Township on May 2, when Stankiewicz pitched a complete game shutout, striking out 14 batters.
This year, Stankiewicz's role is two-fold. While he will be throwing in Cherry Hill West's biggest game each week, he will also be lending a guiding hand to the young Lions pitching staff.
"Our sophomore guys watch him and see how he goes about his business, not just on game day, but leading up to game day," McMaster said. "He's a real positive influence."
Stankiewicz said it'll be important to push the younger pitchers on the staff this year.
"We're going to have to rely on some of our younger guys to get that experience," he said. "So come playoff time, we're ready."
While Stankiewicz leads the Lions' pitching staff, DiVietro anchors the position players. The Lions' center fielder had a breakout season as a sophomore in 2016, hitting for better than a .400 average, stealing 26 bases and providing superb defense.
The key to DiVietro's success is his speed. A two-sport athlete who also plays football, DiVietro's speed helped him run for more than five yards per carry last season for the Cherry Hill West football team. In baseball, DiVietro's speed shows up on both the basepaths and the outfield.
"He's sound defensively, so he can cover a large majority of the outfield," McMaster said. "He saves a lot of runs from a defensive perspective."
The bat was the biggest question mark for DiVietro entering 2016, but after making some adjustments in the preseason, he developed a solid, line drive swing to vault him to the top of the lineup.
"When they moved me up in the lineup, that gave me a lot of confidence," DiVietro said.
This year, postseason success is the №1 goal for the Lions. Despite all of the regular season victories the program has earned over the past three seasons, the Lions have not gotten past the sectional quarterfinals the past three seasons.
"We know what to expect," DiVietro said. "Everyone in the program understands that. It's either state championship or bust."
McMaster said the team's strength will be its depth and talent from its younger players. He hopes the combination of young talent and experience from players such as Stankiewicz and DiVietro provides a winning formula for Cherry Hill West this season.

CARING IS CREEPY 2014
Caring is Creepy 2014: Have a Seat, Logan Ryan and Tagen Lambotte
Iowa shored up its 2014 recruiting class with a pair of lower-weight wrestlers.
By Tony Hager Oct 29, 2013, 1:05pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Caring is Creepy 2014: Have a Seat, Logan Ryan and Tagen Lambotte
In recent years, Iowa has tried a lot of possible solutions to fill the void in their lineup at 149. They've tried bringing in highly-regarded recruits (Jake Ballweg, Nate Skonieczny). They've tried bringing in lightly-regarded "under the radar" recruits (Connor Ryan, Patrick Rhoads, Brody Grothus). They've tried having a 157/165er cut down to 149 (Mike Kelly). They've tried bringing in a JUCO option (Edwin Cooper). None of these solutions has worked, sadly.
Iowa's latest approach? A little saturation bombing when it comes to that weight (and 141): just bring in a ton of guys that project to that weight in college, let 'em compete for spots, and see how everything shakes out. A year after adding Brandon Sorenson and Jake Marlin (and just a few weeks after adding Seth Gross, a well-regarded recruit who might wrestle at 141 in college), Iowa has added two more recruits who could help fill the voids at 141 and 149: Logan Ryan and Tagen Lambotte.
Cant wait to be a hawkeye next year! Thanks to all my coaches and teammates that have gotten me this… http://t.co/ni4BedaK6o
— Logan Ryan (@imawrestler) October 29, 2013
Logan Ryan picked joining his brother, Connor, at Iowa over ISU and Minnesota.
— Andy Hamilton (@Andy_Hamilton) October 29, 2013
Iowa also picked up a commitment from three-time Kansas state champion Tagen Lambotte, who projects as a 149-pounder in college.
Neither Ryan nor Lambotte is considered a blue-chip recruit. Ryan is ranked the 94th best recruit in InterMat's 2014 rankings and unranked by d1collegewrestling and flowrestling's weight-by-weight rankings. Lambotte is even less-celebrated: he's gone unranked by all of the recruiting services so far. Of course, recruiting hype is no guarantor of future success and Iowa has certainly had plenty of success with less-heralded wrestlers.
Logan Ryan hails from Bettendorf, IA, and will join his older brother, Connor Ryan, on the Iowa wrestling team. Connor is listed at 141/149 for the Hawkeyes so choosing to attend Iowa -- and compete with his brother for a starting spot -- was likely a tough decision for Logan. Logan was an Iowa state champion at 138 lbs last year and looking to repeat. With his commitment behind him Logan has big goals for his 2013-14 season:
"This year my goals would be: go undefeated, win state, and be a national champion."
This year Ryan plans to wrestle at 145 lbs for Bettendorf for part of the season before dropping down to 138 lbs for the state tournament. Logan plans to redshirt in 2014-15 in order to add more weight/muscle, before competing for the starting spot at 141 or 149 for Iowa.
While the Quad Cities are continuing to funnel even more athletes to the Iowa wrestling team, Iowa wasn't the only team on his radar. Ryan chose Iowa over offers from Minnesota and Iowa State. Why Iowa?
"I've been a Hawk fan my whole life, i feel at home there, it's one of the greatest college wrestling programs of all time, the coaching staff and wrestlers there are phenomenal at what they do, their style of wrestling fits mine well, and Carver Hawkeye Arena is full of the greatest college wrestling fans in the country.. you can't beat it," Ryan explained.
One of the interesting things about the Iowa wrestling program is that wrestlers don't come to Iowa for the fancy facilities -- they come for the overall program. "The coaches and the wrestlers were the biggest factor in my decision, and I know they will help me reach my goals in my near future," Ryan stated.
Asked if he could pick one wrestler on the Iowa team to drill with, he said he wanted to face the best: "I would say my brother Connor, but we usually end up in some type of fight, so I would have to go with Derek St John. He is a beast and I like the way he wrestles."
Finally, given recent events, we thought it might be useful to know if Ryan and Lambotte were avid hunters. "I hunt deer, turkey, and small game, but not rabbits..." said Ryan. Lambotte favored another fowl: "I prefer to hunt ducks." Perhaps Ethen Lofthouse played a role in his commitment.
Tagen Lambotte may not have the recruiting hype, but he seems like a quintessential Iowa recruit. InterMat describes him as a "training machine" ($) and praises his stamina and strong motor, while an article from The Topeka Capital-Journal contains plentiful praise for his love of hard work and tenacious approach to training. He sounds like a prototypical Iowa wrestler: a guy who works hard and wears down opponents with the relentlessness of his motor. From the sounds of things, Iowa is the place where Lambotte, a three-time Kansas state champion, has wanted to be for a long time:
Tagen Lambotte: "It's been my dream (to wrestle at Iowa), my goal since I started wrestling as a little kid."
His profile on USA Wrestling suggests a wrestler with a deep affinity for Iowa wrestling, too. He calls Tom Brands his favorite wrestler (and the man who inspires him to wrestle) and names Brent Metcalf his favorite athlete. Lambotte seems like the sort of recruit whose stock could raise with another strong prep season, as well as a wrestler who could benefit enormously from being in the Iowa wrestling room and facing top competition on a regular basis. In any event: welcome aboard, Mr. Lambotte.
Lambotte was also gracious enough to answer a few of our questions.
BHGP: Did you and Logan Ryan plan on committing at the same time?
TL: No, I've never actually spoken to Logan.
BHGP: What weight are you planning on wrestling at Iowa?
TL: 149.
BHGP: What was the main reason why you chose to attend Iowa?
TL: The style.
BHGP: If you could compare your style to any past Iowa greats, who would it be most similar to?
TL: No one particular, I try to pick stuff up from all of them.
BHGP: With this commitment out of the way, what are your goals for 2013-14 season?
TL: I want to win my 4th state title with an undefeated record and then win whatever national tournament I attend after state.
BHGP: Who had the biggest influence on your decision to come to Iowa?
TL: My brother and Coach Cody.
BHGP: If you had the chance to pick one wrestler on the Iowa team to drill with, who would you pick out and why?
TL: Even though he's an alum, I'd say Metcalf because he would have so much to teach me and he wouldn't let me out easy.
BHGP: What do people hunt down in Kansas?
TL: Everything and anything but I prefer ducks.
BHGP: What do you want the Iowa faithful to know about you that they might not already know?
TL: Kansan by birth, Iowan at heart.
BONUS! Here were a few other questions that Logan answered, but didn't quite fit in with the rest of the piece:
* Logan's advice to young wrestlers with the dream to wrestle at Iowa. "Always believe in yourself, work harder than your opponents, put in workouts when nobody else is, and get in the room in the off-season!"
* What do you want the Hawkeye faithful to know about you that they might not know? "I love meeting new people. I love to fish, I fish for mainly bass, crappie, and catfish. I love art, anywhere from drawing, painting, or ceramics. I like to make things, with my hands or with technology, I love coding. I like to consider myself outgoing and I am not a mean person, unless I am on the mat." Logan noted
ED. NOTE: Ross contributed to this post as well.

The Arc de Triomphe will be soon be getting wrapped up!
According to the wishes of Christo, who died in May 2020, the Arc de Triomphe will be wrapped in the same spirit as that of the Pont-Neuf in 1985. Spectacle guaranteed.

The artist Christo left us on Sunday, May 31, 2020, at the age of 84. He did not have time to bring his great project of wrapping the Arc de Triomphe to life. However, a few months later, the artist's dream is becoming a reality, and the Parisian monument will be soon packed.
The Arc de Triomphe will finally be wrapped
Christo is making a comeback in the capital, ready to recreate one of Paris' most impressive spectacles. 35 years after wrapping the Pont-Neuf in golden fabric, one of this era's boldest artists is tacking a new landmark in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe. In April 2020, the monument crowning the place d' Étoile will have its entire structure wrapped in 270,000 square feet of recyclable bluish silver fabric, held in place with 23,000 feet of red rope, and nothing else. It will stay in place for two weeks, from April 6 to 19, a project that has been simmering in the artist's imagination since 1962.

In parallel, between March 18 and June 15, the Centre Pompidou is hosting an exhibition dedicated to artistic duo Christo and Jean-Claude, who died in 2009, casting light on their project The Pont-Neuf, Wrapped. Specializing in packaging, the pair travelled the world in search of landmarks to dress in their signature 'coats'. For over 50 years the spectacles they crafted stirred cities worldwide, from the Surrounded Islands in Florida in 1980, to Floating Piers on Lake Iseo in Italy in 2014. Christo died in May 2020. So what hat about this ambitious project? The good news is, it will be carried out from September 18 to October 3.

The apartment is not what is looking like in the pictures. Most likely the pictures had been taken when first the apartment had been listed in 2012. We have arrived on 01 Sept 2018 and we have left after 30 min when we have decided that the apartment is a health hazard and inabitable. The state of the apartment is bad considering the fact that the floors looked like never been hoovered or cleaned, greasy worktops in the kitchen. Cutlery, oven, microwave, toaster, washing machine, fridge all dirty from previous guests, looked like never been touched in months if not years. We will go further with our case and we will fight to get our money back. We have been deceived by the picture advertised on the website. We have taken pictures of the apartment and also a small videoclip. For further information you can contact us on email isfr1@hotmail.co.uk to see exactly the state of the apartment. We will take further for what believe is false advertising. Please read carefuly the description of the apartment which says the " the apartment has been recently refurbished throughout and is modern and clean" . We will like you to judge when you will see the pictures.
Réponse du propriétaire: Dear Voyager813113, We would like to thank you for your review, guest feedback always helps us to make improvements. I'm sorry that you feel your expectations were not met on this occasion, I do however find it strange that you felt the property hadn't been cleaned in years, given our cleaner had not long left and actually came back to the apartment to try and put right whatever you thought was wrong, however you could not point anything out to her but instead decided to verbally abuse her and shout at her - which isn't very nice is it? Onto the topic of you being deceived by the pictures, I have to admit that we did buy 2 brand new sofas between the time you booked and the time you stayed. As these were much more expensive than the previous ones we had hoped that you would like them. Sorry. Hopfully any potential guests reading this will see that this is the first review in the past year to not get 5 out of 5 stars, plus you didn't even comment on the view - who doesn't love that view!
With breath taking views and a pool on site this apartment was fantastic value for money. Great location, fully functioning kitchen and modern furnishings. Would definitely recommend and will return.
Amazing, breath taking views, home from home, lovely welcome pack, warm and attentive.. lovely, relaxing stay.. thank you..
This was a lovely apartment with stunning views. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. We had a lovely welcome pack on arrival and milk in the fridge which was very thoughtful. We will definitely return.

This is a very nice place. Very quiet and peaceful. The apartment has amazing views. It is very clean and tidy and has everything you need. Only a short walk from fistral beach. Highly recommended.
Lovely apartment, amazing view (no photos do it justice) lovely touches with dog towel and dog treats. Thank you will definitely stay again.
My husband and I booked a six day trip to Newquay. This apartment was beautifully clean, with an amazing view of the sea. Despite the weather, The apartment was lovely and warm. Unfortunately we were there when storm Doris hit and it did take the Internet out for a day. We contacted Craig the owner who very quickly got onto the broadband provider and got it fixed. There were two bedrooms, one double room and the second bedroom that sleeps three. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent, with lots of hot water. I can't really think of anything negative and my husband and I do travel around a lot so all in all, we had a very nice time and I will definitely use this apartment again when we visit Cornwall. Thank you Craig for the bottle of fizz on arrival and the Choccies.

Q: Connecting an AWS EC2 to a Google Cloud SQL instance locally using VPN Gateway I have an AWS account with an EC2 in it that I am trying to connect to a Cloud SQL Server (MySQL 5.6) inside of Google Cloud Platform.
I have successfully set up a VPN between AWS and GCP and can echo a message over nc between an ec2 on AWS and a vm on GCP.
As GCP managed DB's are not placed inside of a VPC of my choosing I followed this guide to give the DB a private IP and to then peer that with my google VPC. I tested this works by accessing the DB via pymsql from an VM in GCP using the private IP of the DB.
However my issues come from connecting the EC2 inside of AWS to the Cloud SQL DB in the same way, I have followed this guide to allow the use of the DB's private IP from an external source but I seem to be getting stuck with how to set the routing up to the peered network the DB is sitting in using AWS Routing.

A: The problem has been sorted!
In the Advertised routes Settings of my Cloud Router, I had misunderstood the function of Advertise all subnets visible to the Cloud Router (Default)
I needed to instead choose Create custom routes" And then the sub-option Advertise all subnets visible to the Cloud Router.
This then allowed me to add the Cloud SQL subnet to my router to that IP block propagate over to AWS.

Council vote map: Retain Jarvis bike lanes
By David RiderCity Hall Bureau Chief

The Mayor Rob Ford administration overpowered a last-ditch effort to save Jarvis St. bike lanes, convincing councillors to stick with a plan to spend up to $300,000 to erase the lanes this fall.
Council voted 24-19 against a Tuesday evening motion to scrap the plan that will remove the 2-year-old lanes and, against the wishes of many local residents, return the reversible centre car lane after completion of a separated bike lane on nearby Sherbourne St.
Councillors who had lobbied colleagues to save the Jarvis lanes were surprised by their decisive loss as centrist swing votes, including councillors Ana Bailão and Josh Colle, refused to rally to their side.
Before the vote, John Mende, the city's acting general manager of transportation services, told council the number of cyclists on Jarvis tripled after the bike lanes were introduced in 2010.
North Rosedale and Moore Park residents complained bike lanes clogged their commutes. But their rush-hour trips were extended on average by only two minutes each way, Mende said.
Before the debate, the mayor seemed to cast doubt on that figure.
"Hundreds of people were calling and emailing my office saying it's slowing down their commute time. I think it has slowed up traffic," Ford told reporters. "People wanted to get rid of the bike lanes so, again, I'm doing what taxpayers want me to do."
Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, chair of the public works committee, said: "I am delighted we've got all the pieces in place to move forward with the Sherbourne St. cycle path."
He acknowledged Ford wanted assurances the Jarvis lanes will be erased before supporting the $43-million, five-year bikeway plan that includes the separated lanes — Toronto's first — from Bloor St. to King St.
Minnan-Wong and Ford's staff lobbied councillors right up to the vote. To solidify support, he successfully proposed that the $280,000 to $300,000 removal cost come from the general transportation budget, not the bike lanes budget.
Minnan-Wong (Ward 34, Don Valley East) predicted many Jarvis cyclists will switch to Sherbourne.
Chris Drew, a tech entrepreneur who cycles daily down Jarvis, said after watching the debate he will continue with or without a bike lane.
"Like drivers, I need to use the most direct route possible," he said, predicting: "Jarvis St. for everyone is going to be more dangerous."
Sherbourne construction from Bloor to King Sts. will be done by mid-November. Around that time, the Jarvis wiring work will begin.
Ford will face a tougher test of his often-shaky grip on council Wednesday afternoon when he tries to halt the surprise ban on plastic bags approved when he intended only to scrap the mandatory fee retailers charged for them.
"It's going to be tight," Ford said Tuesday of the looming vote.


The latest version is 0.70. Download it here.
PuTTY 0.69, released today, fixes further problems with Windows DLL hijacking, and also fixes a small number of bugs in 0.68, including broken MIT Kerberos support and the lack of jump lists on the Start Menu.
PuTTY 0.68, released today, supports elliptic-curve cryptography for host keys, user authentication keys, and key exchange. Also, for the first time, it comes in a 64-bit Windows version.
0.68 also contains some security fixes: a vulnerability in agent forwarding is fixed, and Windows DLL hijacking should no longer be possible.
We're now offering 64-bit Windows builds of PuTTY, alongside the 32-bit ones we've always provided.
Right now, the 64-bit builds work as far as we know, but they haven't had as much testing as the 32-bit ones. So we're still considering the 32-bit builds to be more likely to be stable. However, if you have any reason to want to use a 64-bit build (e.g. it needs to load a 64-bit supporting DLL for something like GSSAPI), or if you just feel like trying out the new builds, then please let us know if you have any trouble.
We're switching to the MSI format for PuTTY's Windows installer (generated by the WiX toolset).
Mostly this is because of the report late last year that Windows installers created by Inno Setup are vulnerable to being hijacked by particular DLLs left in the same directory (such as your browser downloads directory).
However, MSI also provides some other useful features, including automated silent install/uninstall via msiexec /q, and also the ability to automatically put the PuTTY install directory on the PATH so that Command Prompts can run PSCP without any fuss.
The development snapshots will now have MSI installers, and we have also retrospectively generated an MSI installer for the recent 0.67 release. Sorry we didn't have it ready in time – MSI is quite complicated if you're not an expert, and it took a long time to get it to work!
For the moment, we're still providing Inno Setup installers as well, in case anyone has trouble with our new and not-very-tested MSIs. But we recommend that people use the MSI if possible, and if you must use the Inno Setup installer, make sure to put it in an empty directory before running it.
PuTTY 0.67, released today, fixes a security hole in 0.66 and before: vuln-pscp-sink-sscanf. It also contains a few other small bug fixes.
Also, for the first time, the Windows executables in this release (including the installer) are signed using an Authenticode certificate, to help protect against tampering in transit from our website or after downloading. You should find that they list "Simon Tatham" as the verified publisher.
PuTTY 0.66, released today, fixes a security hole in 0.65 and before: vuln-ech-overflow. It also contains a few other small bug fixes and minor features.
PuTTY 0.65, released today, fixes the Vista bug where the configuration dialog became invisible, and a few other bugs, large and small.
We're working towards a 0.65 release. This will be a bug-fix release: it will not contain the various new cryptographic features in the development snapshots, but it will contain large and small bug fixes over 0.64, including in particular a fix for the recent Vista-specific bug in which the configuration dialog becomes invisible. We'd appreciate testing of the pre-release builds, which are available from the Download page as usual.
A Symantec blog post warns that a trojaned copy of PuTTY has been detected in the wild. Fortunately, it's easily recognisable by its version identification ("Unidentified build, Nov 29 2013 21:41:02"). If you've encountered this version, we suggest you treat any machine that's run the malicious version as potentially compromised, change any passwords that might have been stolen, and resecure the accounts they protect.
We've had several reports recently of anti-virus software reporting PuTTY as malware (under a wide variety of names, often generic). This affects the latest release (0.64) and also the development snapshots (particularly puttygen.exe).
We believe these are false positives. In those cases where we've been able to contact the vendor (McAfee, Symantec, ClamAV), they have removed the detection.
However, most vendors' false-positive response is to whitelist specific binaries. While this will resolve detections of the 0.64 release, expect detections to recur with the development snapshots, which are built daily.
We've had no success requesting AV software vendors to perform more in-depth analysis. If this is causing trouble for you, and you have a support contract with your AV vendor, please query the detection with them directly.

As for the gift list. I thought it was brilliant!
Our honeymoon was fab! We had a brilliant time away, it took a little bit of getting used to as Sam and I have always "travelled". We would tend to book a flight and do the rest on a wing and prayer, so to have everything we could possibly want in one place was completely alien!! And if I'm honest a little claustrophobic at times, but that is no complaint, we soon kicked back and relaxed and allowed everything to happen around us!
As far as Beachcomber & Le Victoria are concerned, faultless. Right from landing at the airport, through check in at the hotel and throughout our stay we were thoroughly impressed. The staff couldn't do enough for you, the surroundings were always immaculate, the food was fabulous, especially the smaller restaurants and the girls at the kids club were so friendly, Mia always felt welcome.
The flight/distance was too long for our two little ones who didn't settle well on the flight, and it took a couple of days for them to get back to sleeping well. If we were to do it again I would insist on BA, Air Mauritius although professional, weren't exceptional, and I did feel a little like I was bothering the staff by asking for water for the kids!
As for the gift list. I thought it was brilliant. It took a great weight of my shoulders. Once it was set up and I had the link, I didn't have to think about it anymore. The guests that used it thought it was great too, they felt like they could really see what they were buying us for a wedding present, and knew that we would really enjoy it.
And lastly, the service from yourself! Having never used travel agents and perhaps even been a little wary, I have nothing but praise. It seems like nothing has been too much trouble, even my last minute trivial questions! To have everything taken care of has been a real treat and I will certainly come back to you for our next big holiday and would recommend you highly to my friends. It really has been a fantastic, holiday of a lifetime.

Newsom signs bill allowing state to revoke out-of-state parents' rights over trans kids
The legislation allows California to take "temporary emergency jurisdiction" over a child that traveled to the state for transgender drugs or operations, stripping parents of their authority.
Updated: October 2, 2022 - 11:07pm
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Thursday allowing California to take "temporary emergency jurisdiction" over a child that traveled to the state for transgender drugs or operations, stripping parents of their authority over their kids.
"States across the country are passing laws to demonize the transgender community, especially transgender youth and their parents," Newsom wrote to the California State Senate upon signing the bill, adding that "82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves, and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth. This is unacceptable - we must fight for our youth and their parents."
The law has been a major source of controversy. Parental rights groups around the country raised the alarm about then-bill SB 107, arguing it violates the Constitution by wrongly claiming jurisdiction over families from other states.
The groups sent a letter to Newsom earlier this month asking him to veto the legislation.
"SB 107 blatantly violates the fundamental right of every parent in every state to direct the upbringing and care of their child," the letter said. "This legislation allows the 'taking of a child' to California (without parental knowledge or consent) to obtain gender transition procedures – including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries - and impermissibly gives California courts the power to strip custody from lawful and well-intentioned parents (regardless of where they live) who may have legitimate concerns for their child's mental and physical health."
As The Center Square previously reported, Parents also say the law "violates parental rights by denying parents access to their child's medical information related to gender identity medications and procedures in California."
"SB 107 makes California akin to the Pied Piper, enticing minor children nationwide to leave their families and run away in pursuit of harmful drugs and sterilizing surgeries, all of which cause irreversible harm to the minds, bodies, and family relationships of America's precious children," the letter said. "According to the American College of Pediatricians, 80 to 95 percent of children who experience gender confusion will ultimately embrace their biological sex if they are not encouraged to pursue gender identity treatments. Children experiencing gender confusion need the love, support, and guidance of their parents."
Newsom, though, signed the legislation, which passed along party lines and will take effect at the beginning of the year.
"With the signing of this bill, California will ensure these kids and their families can seek and obtain the medical and mental health care they need," Newsom said.

Radar Identifies Suspect
The coastal radar chain has helped Indian Coast Guard in apprehending the merchant ship allegedly involved in the sinking of a fishing boat off Kerala.
Coastal radar chain helps nab ship that sank a fishing boat
The coastal radar chain set up along the coast has helped Indian Coast Guard in apprehending the merchant ship allegedly involved in the sinking of a fishing boat off Kerala coast.
M.V. Izumo, the Panama-flagged merchant ship, allegedly involved in the incident which occurred at about 18 nautical miles off Beypore, was identified and escorted to Kochi by the Indian Coast Guard within four hours of the incident report.
The Remote Operating Station (ROS) at Fort Kochi, the user end of the radar chain, was utilised to correctly identify the ship from among the dense shipping traffic in the area at the time.
The vessel, carrying soyabean, was on its way to Singapore from Kandla when the accident occurred.
Three fishermen in the ill-fated country boat had jumped overboard and were rescued by other fishermen in the vicinity. They will come to Kochi after they are discharged from hospital, to aid in the investigations by Mercantile Marine Department and the Kerala police to whom the Coast Guard has handed over the case.
A boarding party from Indian Coast Guard ship Samar boarded the ship and seized and sealed documents and navigational equipment onboard the ship, which will aid the investigating agencies.

WATER TREATMENT PLANT-MARSHALL MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
McClure has completed several projects for Marshall Municipal Utilities at their 7 MGD water treatment facility. In 2008 McClure completed the design of the new sodium hypochlorite generation, storage, and feed system to replace the outdated chlorine gas system at the water plant. The storage of multiple ton chlorine cylinders at the plant was a concern due to security and concerns about the cylinders being located near a high-speed rail line. It was determined that the most cost-effective option was to convert to an on-site sodium hypochlorite generation system. The new generation system and storage tanks were housed in a new building constructed of concrete masonry and brick. McClure provided all plans, specifications, bidding services and construction services including full time construction observation.
In 2012 construction was completed on a project addressing enhancement of the water plant solids handling lagoon treatment system. The project included the replacement of a failing concrete sludge settling basin and sludge pumping system. Additional settling was enhanced in two large earthen sludge treatment lagoons by the installation of hanging curtain baffles. A tablet dechlorination system was added to the system discharge line to allow the discharge to meet Total Residual Chlorine permit limits. McClure provided wastewater discharge permit assistance to MMU.
In 2013 McClure provided plans and specifications for the replacement of coatings throughout the water plant. Testing was completed on all coatings prior to bidding the project to determine potential hazardous materials the painting contractor would be handling. The project was completed in 2014. Coatings were replaced on steel plant components including treatment basins, chemical storage towers, stairs, pumps and piping. Interior and some exterior building coatings were replaced.
Construction was completed in 2018 on an expansion to the water plant. The project included a new 500,000-gallon concrete clearwell, three new 2800 gpm vertical turbine high service pumps, one new 5,350 gpm vertical turbine backwash pump, a new laboratory and administration building, the addition of ammonia feed equipment, and interface with the utilities' SCADA system. Baffles were added to the city's large in-ground storage tanks and a mixing system added to the 500,000-gallon elevated storage tower.

Bioinformatic and functional optimization of antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) for therapeutic modulation of RNA splicing in muscle
Linda J Popplewell, Ian R Graham, Alberto Malerba, George Dickson
Methods in Molecular Biology 2011, 709: 153-78
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations that disrupt the reading frame of the human DMD gene. Selective removal of exons flanking an out-of-frame DMD mutation can result in an in-frame mRNA transcript that may be translated into an internally deleted, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)-like, but functionally active dystrophin protein with therapeutic activity. Antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) can be designed to bind to complementary sequences in the targeted mRNA and modify pre-mRNA splicing to correct the reading frame of a mutated transcript so that gene expression is restored. AO-induced exon skipping producing functional truncated dystrophin exon has been demonstrated in animal models of DMD both in vitro and in vivo, and in DMD patient cells in vitro in culture, and in DMD muscle explants. More recently, AO-mediated exon skipping has been confirmed in DMD patients in Phase I clinical trials. However, it should be noted that personalized molecular medicine may be necessary, since the various reading frame-disrupting mutations are spread across the DMD gene. The different deletions that cause DMD would require skipping of different exons, which would require the optimization and clinical trial workup of many specific AOs. This chapter describes the methodologies available for the optimization of AOs, and in particular phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs), for the targeted skipping of specific exons on the DMD gene.

In his 2011-12 Policy Address, Chief Executive Donald Tsang disclosed that, by enhancing its regulatory regime, the government hopes to attract more companies to Hong Kong from Europe, the United States and emerging markets and, thereby, broaden listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Tsang said the move includes enacting legislation this year to oblige listed corporations to disclose price-sensitive information. The government will also broaden and deepen its bond market, and seek to finish updating the Companies Ordinance.
In addition, it will take forward the establishment of an independent Insurance Authority and enhance the regulatory regime for insurance intermediaries. "We will also prepare proposals for the establishment of a policyholders' protection fund, which will form the basis of the relevant legislation," he added.
Tsang also indicated that the government will actively negotiate closer economic and trade arrangements with Hong Kong's trading partners, so as to expand market and business opportunities for our enterprises engaged in the trading of goods and services. Apart from exploring the possibility of a free trade agreement with Chile, it will soon negotiate with Russia an agreement on investment promotion and protection.
The government is also actively exploring the possibility of joining the trade and economic co-operation arrangements among East Asian economies, and strengthening links with stock markets in the 'BRICS', the leading emerging market countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
He said that a further supplement to the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement with China will be signed by the end of this year. The Chinese government has clearly indicated, he concluded, that the markets for Hong Kong's trade in services will be further opened up, and has set a target to basically achieve full liberalization of trade in services for Hong Kong by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan in 2015.


Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused President Donald Trump and an unnamed member of the Trump administration on Friday of endangering members of her congressional delegation, American troops, and ordinary travelers by "leaking" plans to fly commercially to Afghanistan.
"In the middle of the night, the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the president announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased the danger to the delegation and to the troops, security, and other officials supporting the trip," Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hammill declared in a press release.
"This morning, we learned that the administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well," he continued.
But White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had something to say about that.
"Nancy Pelosi's number-one responsibility is to the American people, and it's to keep our citizens safe," said Boston Herald columnist and radio host Adriana Cohen on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Friday night.
"This is not information that's being hidden or secure when you book that many commercial [flights]," he added.
A "person close to the White House called The Washington Post on Friday morning to alert a reporter to Pelosi's travel plans, speaking on the condition of anonymity," The Post reported.
Pelosi told a media scrum at the Capitol they were scrapping the trip based on the State Department's advice that flying commercial would be too dangerous, CNN reported.
A report "from Afghanistan," Pelosi said, indicated that "the president outing our trip had made the scene on the ground much more dangerous because it's just a signal to the bad actors." She added that Trump's publicly announced revocation of military resources for the trip endangered members of Congress as well as American troops.
Trump revoked Pelosi's access to military aircraft on Thursday — and when word reached the bus that was carrying members of the delegation to Joint Base Andrews for the presumed start of their trip, the Air Force-operated motor coach drove the delegation back to the capitol.
Sarah Sanders provided a copy of the letter via tweet (see below).
"Why would Nancy Pelosi leave the country with other Democrats on a seven-day excursion when 800,000 great people are not getting paid. Also, could somebody please explain to Nancy & her 'big donors' in wine country that people working on farms (grapes) will have easy access in!" Trump tweeted Friday.
Good. It is about time they suffered some inconvenience for their actions.
Trump's President… & she's not. Go negotiate, Nancy!!

Didi Louzada enjoys huge 28-point game in NBL, compares well with probable future first round NBA draft picks in LaMelo Ball and RJ Hampton
The New Orleans Pelicans 2019 second rounder is doing work Down Under.

While Zion Williamson continues to rehab from meniscus surgery and Jaxson Hayes and Nickeil Alexander-Walker take their lumps in learning on basketball's biggest stage, Didi Louzada was quietly developing his hooping talent halfway around the world in the NBL...until today.
The 20-year-old rookie shined in the Sydney Kings eighth win in nine tries on the season by posting an eye-catching line of 28 points, seven threes, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in just 24 minutes of action against the Perth Wildcats. Didi dropped a 29-point performance in his second ever game in Australia, but that came during exhibition play.
Apparently, Didi was the youngest member of the Kings to top the 20-point plateau since Matt Nielsen in 1997.
According to Kings' head coach Will Weaver, "The offensive end is gravy. The defensive end is so special. He would've guarded every guard they had at some stage and it's a pretty special effort." While, it's great to hear Louzada has been a bull defensively, Didi's three-point stroke did look particularly sharp as he nailed seven of 11 shot attempts from deep.
Through seven NBL games, Louzada's per 36 minute averages include 19.5 points, 3.4 threes, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 steals per 36 minutes. He is only shooting 39.1% from the field, but Didi has posted a very solid 38.1 three-point percentage.
For comparison sake, Didi's per 36 minute statistics more than hold their own alongside a pair of likely first round picks in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft.
LaMelo Ball: 17.4 points, 1.9 threes, 7.7 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.8 turnovers and 2.3 steals, with a 35.6 FG% and 24.6 3PT%
RJ Hampton: 16.3 points, 2.1 threes, 7.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.7 turnovers and 2.5 steals, with a 48.4 FG% and 38.5 3PT%
Keep doing your thing, Didi. We can't wait to see you in person.


By 1890, American Indian resistance in the western United States had been crushed and settlers and railways had closed the frontier. In this environment of despair, the apocalyptic Ghost Dance religion spread quickly among Indian communities from California to Oklahoma, alarming white authorities. When, in December, 500 US Cavalry intercepted a group of 350 Lakota, mostly Ghost Dance practitioners, in South Dakota, tensions quickly led to a one-sided battle at Wounded Knee. This massacre was the last major conflict of the Indian Wars.

FINE CONTEMPORARY CRAFT IN MISSOULA, MONTANA
Judith Colvin
felted millinery hats, garments, pillows and lights
Stepping into the studio space of Judith Colvin Designs is akin to entering a kaleidoscope display of fanciful textures and jewel tone colors. Every available space is taken to organize and store the materials Judith uses to create her one-of-a-kind felted hats, shawls, scarves and home décor items.
Her interest in fiber arts goes back about 30 years, when she acquired her first animals and took one of her first classes in felting. Since that time, Judith has honed her skills by attending workshops and classes around the U.S., and through years of experimenting on her own.
About eleven years ago, hats became her passion, and it shows. From sweet little cloches, to wild dreadlocked stocking caps, she has a design for any taste, age, or interest. Judith says that her inspiration for her creations comes from the materials themselves. The beauty and tactile quality of the wool and silk she uses often guide her designs into something different than her original plan. Mixing exotic fibers, such as yak down and superfine merino, give a luxurious feel to her garments making them comfortable to wear and beautiful to look at. The addition of these materials gives her scarves and shawls an elegant drape, flattering the wearer. Selecting color combinations and deciding how to embellish her work, so that no two pieces are the same, is an enjoyable part of the design process for Judith. Beads, feathers, antique jewelry and her own felted flower designs give her garments that perfect finished touch.

250 Chabad Communities to Mark Rebbe's 70th Year of Leadership
In anticipation of the 70-year jubilee to the Rebbe's leadership this upcoming 10 Shevat, Chabad communities around the world will be uniting through a unique, never done before initiative preparing to mark this day with personal, powerful action. Here's how you can join. Full Story, Video
December 31, 2019 – 3 Tevet 5780
Something very special and different is happening in Lubavitch communities around the world. In anticipation of the 70 year jubilee to the Rebbe's leadership this upcoming 10 Shevat, communities around the world will be uniting through a unique never done before initiative preparing to mark this day with personal, powerful action.
More than 250 Lubavitch communities around the world will celebrate 70 years of the Rebbe's leadership this coming Yud Shevat marking a new era as we enter the decade of ״אם בגבורות שמונים שנה״ – enhanced spiritual strength to fulfill the Rebbe's mission.
In anticipation of this major milestone, Vaad Or Vechom is launching a global campaign to promote communal learning of the Rebbe's Torah and provide practical ways to bring Yidden closer to the Rebbe's values enhancing their observance of Torah and Mitzvos and more.
The initiative is coordinating a worldwide chalukah of all of the Rebbe's published Torah. In each community, participants will gather together and study "k'ish echad b'lev echad" to achieve this unprecedented goal.
"Gathering with the entire community to learn the Rebbe's Torah together was the best thing we ever did to prepare for a special day," said Rabbi Boruch Hertz, who organized a similar program last year leading up to Gimmel Tammuz.
The campaign also includes a wide-array of cutting-edge online resources and printed material to help Anash reach out to fellow yidden in their respective cities with Torah, Mitzvos and Ahavas Yisroel. Following the Rebbe's call during the year of 5711 that every chossid bring ten Yidden closer to yiddishkeit, and the values of chassidus, each community will be focusing on one or two Mivtzoim. Using the resources available from the campaign, they'll reach out to every Jew in their area. By each community reaching a local goal, we will ultimately reach the collective goal of impacting (at least) 70,000 Yidden worldwide.
"We have seen that when we focus as a community on something specific and encourage each other to achieve it, it yields the greatest success," said Rabbi Levi Azimov, who has overseen the distribution of 3,500 menorahs this Chanukah, half of which were given out by members of Anash.
In addition, 'Seventy Years Strong' has designed a first-of-its-kind website that will enable each community to track and showcase their progress, and learn from other communities, as well. The website is scheduled to launch on 10 Teves (30 days before Yud Shevat),
"This campaign is very exciting because it empowers each community to rededicate itself to learning directly from the Rebbe and bringing people in our surroundings closer to the Rebbe's message. If we work together, the impact will be more powerful for each of us," said Mendel Shemtov, project director.
For more information about the campaign and how your community can take part in it, as well as access to resources, visit www.70strong.world, or email [email protected]

approach them," Think provides a sound framework for exploring the most basic themes of philosophy, and for understanding how major philosophers have tackled the questions that have pressed themselves most forcefully on human consciousness.
approaches the nature of human reflection and how we think, or can think, about knowledge, fate, ethics, identity, God, reason, and truth. Each chapter explains a major issue, and gives the reader a self-contained guide through the problems that the philosophers have studied. Because the text approaches these issues from the gound up, the untrained reader will emerge from its pages able to explore other philosophies with greater pleasure and understanding and be able to think--philosophically--for him or herself.
Philosophy is often dismissed as a purely academic discipline with no relation to the "real" world non-philosophers are compelled to inhabit. Think dispels this myth and offers a springboard for all those who want to learn how the basic techniques of thinking shape our virtually every aspect of our existence.
