Q: Mayer-Vietoris Sequence for Arbitrary Bicartesian Square of Spectra Can anyone tell me if there is a Mayer-Vietoris sequence for an arbitrary homotopy pushout (hence homotopy pullback) of spectra and an arbitrary (co)homology theory. If this comes from some easy way of writing down a pushout/pullback as a fiber sequence, it'd be really cool to see that spelled out (as if I were a baby). Also, it would also be really neat to know if there are general conditions on a model category or on the (co)homology theory to make this true.
Thanks in advance. :-)

A: Mayer-Vietoris sequences can be obtained from excision isomorphisms.
Anything worthy of the name "homology theory" will give a long exact sequence
$$\dots \to h_n(A)\to h_n(X)\to h_n(A\to X)\to h_{n-1}(A)\to \dots$$
for each morphism $A\to X$. And for a square, a.k.a. map of morphisms $(C\to B)\to (A\to X)$, it will give you a map from the long exact sequence of $C\to B$ to that of $A\to X$.
If the square happens to induce an isomorphism $h_n(C\to B)\to h_n(A\to X)$ for every $n$ (as it will if it is a homotopy pushout square) then the desired map $h_n(X)\to h_{n-1}(C)$ is given by composing $h_n(X)\to h_n(A\to X)\cong h_n(C\to B)\to h_{n-1}(C)$, and a little diagram chase gives you the exactness you want.
Depending on how one axiomatizes the notion of homology theory, the fact that homotopy pushout squares gives isomorphisms in relative homology is either an axiom or a consequence of the axioms.
There is no need to work with spectra or other stable objects here.
Note that if you had something like a homology theory except that it gave isomorphisms $h_n(C\to B)\to h_n(A\to X)$ for homotopy pullbacks instead of for homotopy pushouts then you would get a "Mayer-Vietoris sequence" for pullback squares. That's how it is for homotopy groups and based spaces, except that things get funny down around $\pi_1$ and relative $\pi_2$.

A: I didn't want to answer this because the question seemed too
elementary to spend time on.  But to see quasicategories invoked for something
so classically elementary is truly painful. (Forgive me Dylan).  Jon asked "to see that spelled
out (as if I were a baby)".  Here goes. The question was about spectra, and you
place yourself in any halfway reasonable category of such.  If you are really old-fashioned your objects are CW spectra (alias cofibrant), but to have a homotopically meaningful construction we may as well use CW approximation or model theoretic cofibrant approximation to assume that $A$, $B$, and $C$ are CW or cofibrant. We have standard cylinders $A\wedge I_+$ and form the double
mapping cylinder (explicit homotopy pushout)
$$D = B \cup (A\wedge I_+) \cup C$$
with cofibration
(yes, I know, that requires just a smidgen of trivial verbiage)
$B\vee C \longrightarrow D$ with quotient (yes, there is no problem
with quotients)  $D\longrightarrow \Sigma A$. You are in a stable situation
so the cofiber sequence extends to the left, but you can also just
look at its extension $\Sigma A\longrightarrow \Sigma B\vee \Sigma C$ to the
right to identify the maps.  This is all exactly as if you were just in based spaces, except that in a stable situation cofiber sequences are fiber sequences. Nothing at all fancy, and the argument adapts very easily to any stable model category.
Dylan, you asked about classical excision; one way that goes is to use CW approximation to replace  an excisive triad $(X;A,B)$ by a CW triad; then, with $C=A\cap B$, $X/C \cong A/C\vee B/C$. (Concise, page 110).

A: Ok, I'll state this a bit more confidently... (but I'm still worried I'm missing something).
Any time we're in, say, a stable model category where every object is cofibrant (or stable $\infty$-category), then given an object $X$ and a homotopy push-pull diagram (which I won't draw), involving $A \rightarrow B$, $A \rightarrow C$ and $C, B \rightarrow D$ we get a long exact sequence like
$$
\cdots \rightarrow [D, X] \rightarrow [B, X]\oplus [C, X] \rightarrow [A, X] \rightarrow [\Sigma^{-1} D, X] \rightarrow\cdots
$$
Indeed, we have a homotopy push-pull as above precisely if we have a (co)fiber sequence
$$
A \rightarrow B \oplus C \rightarrow D
$$
where the first map is the difference of the two obvious ones. There's probably a good way to do this without being fancy, but the easiest way I see to do this is in the setting of $\infty$-categories: the pushout and cofiber displayed above both have manifestly the same universal property. (I think I'm using cofibrancy here to say that the coproduct and homotopy coproduct should agree... maybe I don't need this- I'm bad with model categories, someone should correct me.)
Anyway, this must be in one of the obvious references. Adams? Neeman's book on triangulated categories? Something like that.
It's not immediately obvious to me that this specializes to Mayer-Vietoris, but that's me revealing too much of my ignorance. Inclusions of open subsets don't seem to be cofibrations, so why should the usual square we write down be a homotopy pullback/pushout (after taking suspension spectra)?

First Ever Down Syndrome Awareness Night at Spillane Field
Jack MacKeen
Wareham, MA- Friday night was the first ever Down Syndrome Awareness Night at Spillane Field. To make this event the success it was, the Gatemen partnered with the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress. The MDSC brought members of their community to the game to watch, throw out the first pitch and be recognized in between games 1 and 2 of Fridays double header. Three families who have long been upstanding members of the community and MDSC supporters were honored on the field. Firstly, the Caprio family, whose son Dominic is the namesake of the Dominic's Angels Buddy Walk Team. Secondly, the Marot family, whose son Oliver is the heart and soul of his family and namesake of the Olivers Rockin Crew Buddy Walk Team. Finally the MDSC brought the Newton family, whose daughter Maggie has inspired her parents to become Buddy Walk captains and committee members. In addition, Nick Caprio and his brother Dominic threw out the first pitch, and MDSC self advocate Jon Derr made the play ball call. The MDSC also set up an exhibit table where fans could learn more about the organization and meet Tess Keijser, an authorized Pampered Chef dealer. Although the Gatemen couldn't get it done on the field, the event brought together members of many different communities and made for a great night at Spillane field.

Americas ⁄ Asia ⁄ Europe ⁄ Festivals
How Halloween Is Celebrated Around the World
Trick-or-treat, costumes, and jack-o'-lanterns may be the norm where you're from, but Halloween is always a little bit different, depending on where you are.
What other countries celebrate Halloween? Surprisingly, a lot, although the holiday may have a different name, date, and rituals. If you're eager to see other cultures' take on the spookiest holiday in the calendar, here are five unique Halloween traditions and celebrations from all over the world.
Samhain (Ireland)

If you're wondering why we celebrate Halloween, look to Ireland. Although the spooky holiday is celebrated in many countries, its origins can be traced to Ireland's ancient Celtic pagan festival known as Samhain. The three-day festival marks the end of summer and the beginning of the dark half of the year, according to the Celtic calendar.
During Samhain, which is now celebrated from October 31 to November 2, the barrier between the worlds of the living and the dead are believed to be weaker with spirits crossing over and causing mayhem to the living. To protect themselves and appease the spirits, ancient Celts used to burn sacrificial offerings and dress up in costumes. Nowadays, Samhain celebrations still include bonfires along with pranks, games, and a special Irish fruitcake called barmbrack.
Día de los Muertos (Mexico, Latin America)

Probably the most well-known Halloween-related celebration in popular culture is Día de los Muertos or "Day of the Dead." While it is most associated with Mexico, the holiday takes place all across Latin America every year on November 1 and 2. For 24 hours, the souls of the dead are believed to come back to Earth to be reunited with their families.
Día de los Muertos is a holiday honoring the dead, but it's a lively, vibrant celebration with food, alcoholic drinks, and even music included in the Halloween traditions. All over Latin America, people set up altars of their loved ones at home with photos, flowers, candles, and even food like candies and pan de muerto bread. Revelers even take to the streets dressed up as skeletons.
Hungry Ghost Festival (China, Hong Kong, Other Parts of Asia)

While the Hungry Ghost Festival is much earlier than Halloween Day on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month—usually falling in August to September—it is a very similar celebration. It's a day out of the month-long "Ghost Month," with traditional Chinese beliefs saying restless spirits roam the Earth on this day.
To appease these spirits, locals take to "feeding" the deceased and making sacrifices. In many parts of China, people release burning lanterns on rivers to guide the spirits towards money and food. The celebrations in Hong Kong include burning paper money and leaving food out for the deceased.
Pitru Paksha (India)

India's take on Halloween traditions is closely intertwined with their Hindu religion. Pitru Paksha, which lasts for 16 days, is a period in which Hindus pay tribute to their ancestors and other people they love who have passed away.
A ritual known as Shraddha is performed during Pitru Paksha. The said ritual is usually performed by the eldest son or male relative, but women can perform it, too. Food offerings during this period include kheer, lapsi, rice, dal, and pumpkin.
Guy Fawkes Night (England)

Guy Fawkes Night is a few days after the usual Halloween celebrations, but in England, many parties blend the two holidays together in one rip-roaring event. It marks the foiled Gunpowder Plot of Catholic conspirators who aimed to blow up the House of Parliament and kill King James I in 1605.
Traditionally, children parade an effigy of Guy Fawkes—the first conspirator arrested for the plot—down the streets, ask people for "a penny for the Guy," and go on to burn the effigy in a massive bonfire. Halloween is becoming more commonly celebrated in England, but many still celebrate the holiday with fireworks and bonfires.

Jennifer Doudna, New Nobel Laureate, on Science and Covid
Posted on October 14, 2020 by [email protected]_84
Last week, Nobel Prize season arrived.
Among the several winners with ties to California were two Stanford professors — Paul R. Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson, were awarded the Nobel in economic science — and three University of California scholars. Reinhard Genzel, a U.C. Berkeley professor emeritus of physics and astronomy, and Andrea Ghez, a U.C.L.A. professor of astrophysics, shared the prize in physics with a mathematician at Oxford University for their work on black holes.
And Jennifer Doudna, a U.C. Berkeley professor, shared the prize in chemistry with Emmanuelle Charpentier, now the director of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin, for their work on Crispr-Cas9, a method to edit DNA.

Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna: Gene editing could make a better future
UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism facilitated a video news conference and Q&A session with UC Berkeley's Nobel Prize winner, Jennifer Doudna, this morning. Watch it here. (UC Berkeley video)
Rapid advances in gene-editing technology have a transformative potential to help cure disease and feed the world, but scientists must assure that the tools are not used for unethical purposes, new UC Berkeley Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna told reporters today.
Following this morning's announcement that she had won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Doudna detailed the promise of the CRISPR-cas9 technology at a Berkeley press conference, held remotely during the coronavirus pandemic and livestreamed for a global audience. She hailed the collaboration of her colleagues, both at Berkeley and internationally, for the work that won the world's highest honor in science.
Her research began, and has continued, "with the vision of bringing genome editing to bear on problems facing
Mexican Nobel Laureate Molina, Ozone Layer Prophet, Dies at 77 | World News
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican scientist Mario Molina, who became his country's first winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work on the threat to the ozone layer from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has died at the age of 77, the government said on Wednesday.
One of Mexico's most eminent scientists, Molina conducted some of his first experiments at a tender age in his childhood home before becoming a global authority on climate change.
The government and his former university announced Molina's death, but the cause was not immediately clear.
Born in Mexico City, Molina was a graduate of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and took postgraduate degrees at universities in Germany and California.
In 2008, he was appointed a scientific adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama and also advised authorities in the Mexican capital on their efforts to reduce smog and air pollution, a chronic problem in
Arthur Ashkin, 98, Dies; Nobel Laureate Invented a 'Tractor Beam'
Arthur Ashkin, a physicist who was awarded a 2018 Nobel Prize for figuring out how to harness the power of light to trap microscopic objects for closer study, calling his invention optical tweezers, died on Sept. 21 at his home in Rumson, N.J. He was 98.
His daughter, Judith Herscu, confirmed the death on Monday.
Optical tweezers — or optical traps, as they are more properly known — use the pressure from a highly focused laser beam to manipulate microscopic objects, from atoms to living organisms, like viruses and bacteria.
As the Nobel committee wrote, Dr. Ashkin had "invented optical tweezers that grab particles, atoms, molecules, and living cells with their laser beam fingers."
Trapping biological material proved to have groundbreaking practical applications in research and in understanding the behavior of the basic building blocks of life, like DNA, and other biological systems. Today, optical tweezers are widely manufactured and


Rick Ross is known for farcical claims -- like when he said he knew Manuel Noriega on his breakthrough hit "Hustlin'." For Teflon Don, he compares himself to infamous criminals Larry Hoover and Big Meech on "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)," and on "Tears of Joy" he says he's "Biggie Smalls in the flesh." Lyrically, Rick Ross has improved since his mush-mouthed "Hustlin'" days, and shines amidst the best beats and guest stars money can buy. Some "conscious hip-hop" fans may be disheartened that Erykah Badu, Cee-Lo and Raphael Saadiq are just a few that gladly sold out for the almighty Teflon Don.

BDS FAIL – Protest Against Idan Raichel Project Concert in NYC… | now listen to "Mon Amour"
Posted on April 14, 2015 by adara press
It is not just ignorance at work here. It is far more perverse than that. It is the insatiable, carnal impulse to savage, to tear into the flesh of the Jewish people that motivates this behavior. But to do this, they must first silence the Jews. Isolate them. Prejudice as many as possible against them. It's just how the Nazis did it. This is incitement. Though this time, apparently with limited results, at least out on the street in front of the Beacon theater in New York City…
A dozen protest Idan Raichel at New York's Beacon theater. BDS fail
Phyllis Chessler described it as "Probably the most insane leftist protest ever".
Thats arguable.
After all, in the Bay area we've experienced the Code Pink 2 hour "hunger strike". We've witnessed "Mimes for Gaza". We've seen queer groups protest the venerable Frameline LGBT film festival for the unforgivable offense of daring to show films about the struggle for equality – in Israel
Only in San Francisco. Mimes for Gaza
New York can't hold a candle to the Bay in terms of sheer, unbridled insanity.
On the evening of April 12th, at New Yorks beautiful Beacon Theater, members of anti-Israel groups including Adalah-NY, the BDS National Committee, the Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews Say No gathered to protest popular Israeli Singer Idan Raichel.
The press release from Adalah claims 40 people showed up- contradicted by eyewitness reports that only 12 showed up , and were completely overwhelmed by over 200 pro-Israel supporters.
Phyllis Chessler, writing in Arutz Sheva, described the scene
On the side for Israel: A woman with a bright, fierce countenance told me she was a ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor. She said: "I will never stop fighting for Israel." Her sign read: "Boycotting Israel is Racist."
And then there was the woman whom I asked to estimate for me how many pro-Israel demonstrators she thought were there. She said: "Six hundred thousand. Everyone who left Egypt is here today."
I love her too.
For Israel. There they stood: One Asian woman, one Black woman, several Mizrachi and Arab-looking women and men. People of all ages, including children and teenagers (at least five), but mainly fifty and older were there.
Groups like Adalah-NY and the BDS 'movement' don't want peace. They want war — just so long as the Jews can't and won't defend themselves… that's the reason they protest those who defend the IDF.
What's the fun in firing rockets at the Jewish people living in Tel Aviv if they fire back? No. For them, a good Israeli, a good Jew, is a defenseless one. Or, better still, a dead one.
Nor do these "activists" care about human rights. If they did, if they truly cared they would support the work of the Idan Raichel Project.
Producer, keyboardist, and composer Idan Raichel has become a global music icon since the unveiling of The Idan Raichel Project, a multi-ethnic tour de force that changed the face of Israeli popular music. The Project enchants audiences with entrancing fusions sung in Hebrew, Arabic and the Ethiopian languages of Amharic and Tigrit. Their latest album, Quarter To Six, has garnered international praise for its depth and scope. Raichel has collaborated with over 95 celebrated artists from around the globe including American neo-soul diva India.Arie, Mayra Andrade from Cape Verde, Marta Gomez from Colombia, Ana Moura from Portugal, German counter-tenor Andreas Scholl, Vieux Farka Touré from Mali and many more. Over the past decade The Idan Raichel Project has become the soundtrack of contemporary Israel.
Here is but one example of what Idan Raichel does… with friend and collaborator Vieux Farka Touré from Mali, the "Hendrix of the Sahara". (http://www.vieuxfarkatoure.com/bio/)
Why would the sick, twisted folks with BDS want to keep people from seeing this? Perhaps because it shows real social injustice, and poverty… genuine hardship, hunger, and want. And that would never do… Especially when their boycotts and protests against Israel and the Jewish people do so much to diminish, obscure, and hide this suffering, and the suffering of so many others.

I was about 7 years old when I remember learning about Elvis Presley. One of his many hit songs was playing on 1050 CHUM while I rode in the car with my Nanny, I don't know where we were going and it didn't really matter, it was always a treat to just be with her in the car. I heard her sing a line or two from the song and then she sang, "return to Cindy" over Elvis' crooning and shook my world. The song was Return to Sender from the movie Girls! Girls! Girls! and my Nanny explained that she would always sing "return to Cindy" instead of "return to sender." In an instant, I was filled with joy that my Nanny would sing my name instead of the correct lyrics and that's when Elvis Presley was etched into my memory.
When I was about 8 and I was on one of many, MANY sleepovers at my Nanny and Grandpa's house, I was looking through one of her magazines and I saw it. The Jungle Room. Probably the most famous room at Elvis' Graceland. That's where it was born, my desire to see this man's house.
When I was about 9 years old, I found out that Elvis died. I was in my classroom at the end of the day, getting my outdoor shoes on and talking to my teacher when the subject of Elvis came up. I remember nothing about the conversation before learning about Elvis' death and nothing after, because… that was the day I found out that Elvis had been dead for 17 years.
When I was about 11, I was completely obsessed with wedding videos. I would watch my aunt and uncle's wedding videos over and over again, but the video that had the most impact on me was my Auntie Charlotte and Uncle Darren's, my mom's sister and brother-in-law. They were married in 1986, but most of their reception music was classic oldies. I remember dreaming about my own wedding one day while watching my Nanny and Grandpa, so in love, dancing and singing along to Can't Help Falling in Love. They floated around, stared into each others eyes and sang those words to each other like it was their own wedding, like no one else was even in the room. That moment is so imprinted on my memory I can't listen to that song without crying since my Grandpa died.
When I was about 15, I was introduced to Elvis the actor. One lazy Sunday afternoon, my mom and I huddled in and watched Love Me Tender on TVO. He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and seemed to have all those '50s gentlemanly qualities that were already so lacking in my generation. I had such a great time vegging out with my mom that we made a date to TVO's next Elvis movie the weekend after.
You see, for all of my childhood, Elvis' music surrounded me. My Nanny and Grandpa were always listening to 1050 CHUM or other popular music from their generation. My mom was always playing oldies music at home too. Sure, there were The Everly Brothers, The Platters and Patsy Cline… But Elvis was the standard. Elvis Presley's music simply defined my entire youth.
I'm no die hard Elvis fanatic, in fact, I only have 21 of his songs on my iTunes. I own none of his movies. I don't have a t-shirt with Elvis' face on it. I don't have a pink Cadillac toy. I don't bid on red Elvis scarves on eBay. All of my affection for Elvis is a direct result of my upbringing. A direct result of my Nanny and Grandpa, their love for each other and their love for me… And for the innocence of that, I'm so thankful.
Fans would write messages to Elvis on the wall around the perimeter of his house, and they still do to this day. Luke encouraged me to leave my own mark too.

FLOOD DAMAGE IN EDGECUMBE, 2017 (PHOTO: RAFAEL BEN-ARI/CHAMELEONS EYE)
Climate refugees in our own country: why NZ needs to divest from fossil fuels
Niamh O'Flynn | Guest writer
From an idea floated in Rolling Stone magazine just five years ago, divestment – the withdrawal of investments in immoral industries – has grown into a global campaign. Now New Zealand businesses, government organisations and community groups are being encouraged to join the movement, writes 350 Aotearoa's Niamh O'Flynn.
A whole town evacuated, powerless in the face of a wall of water bearing down on them, sweeping through their homes and businesses, taking down trees and power lines, making their water undrinkable, their roads unusable.
All that is missing is the zombies. Or the aliens. Just insert your prefered apocalyptic scenario.
But this isn't describing some post apocalyptic world. As we all know from the grim images, it was the Bay of Plenty town of Edgecumbe less than a month ago. While the soundbites and quotes indicate a population that is making the best of a bad situation, the realities of the devastation will play out over weeks and months as the extensive clean up gets underway.

The clean up won't only be physical, it is likely to be political too, with Sir Michael Cullen leading an independent review into what caused the breach of the flood banks.
The lessons learned from the review will be important, because the scientific evidence is clear: New Zealanders face increasing risks from flood events due to climate change.
Climate change refugees in our own country
Climate change isn't just a concern for some weirdos on the fringe anymore. It is the issue of our time, and we need to be talking about it.
The International Panel on Climate Change predicts with increasing certainty that extreme rainfall events will become more severe globally – including in New Zealand – and extreme rainfall is the most common trigger for flooding in this country. As Edgecumbe has so painfully shown us, flood events can almost instantaneously wipe out key infrastructure. There are also the ongoing financial and emotional costs associated with insurance claims and the rebuilding of houses and businesses.
Sea level rise is also a threat to the homes and livelihoods of New Zealanders. The most optimistic climate change models predict a sea level rise of between 44 and 55 centimetres by 2100. Should emissions continue at the status quo, the predictions are closer to one metre. Even the smallest amount of sea level rise would see over 8000 coastal homes in New Zealand threatened. If the worst case scenario occurs, that figure jumps up to over 40,000.
When excess rainfall and rising sea levels combine, the impact on many communities in low-lying coastal areas could be catastrophic and irreversible. It only takes a quick glance at a map to know that there are a whole lot of New Zealanders are at risk.
If the worst happens, where do these people go?
What happens if climate impacts lead to mass internal displacement?
What is the plan if we become refugees in our own country?
Who is taking responsibility for the future safety of our citizens?
Our leaders have so far shown little strategic action on limiting the impacts of climate change.
A fossil free future?
At 350 Aotearoa we believe that the apparent lack of political will doesn't mean that New Zealanders can't take action. We are part of a global movement working to achieve climate safety. A big part of our work is leading the movement to divest from fossil fuels.
What is divestment, and why should you care?
In 2012, divestment – the breaking of ties with an immoral industry – was just an idea; an article in Rolling Stone by 350.org founder Bill McKibben the catalyst. It has rapidly scaled up to become a global movement, with support from the UN and the World Bank.
350 TAKING ACTION ON THE STREETS PHOTO: 350 AOTEAROA
What is the aim? We want to show that the fossil-fuel industry does not have long-term viability in a climate-constrained world. We want to show that it just no longer makes sense to invest in heavily polluting industries. As Bill McKibben put it: "The logic of divestment couldn't be simpler: if it's wrong to wreck the climate, it's wrong to profit from that wreckage.
We have already had some resounding successes.
Just last week, Westpac announced a new climate change policy that includes a ban on funding for any new coal basin projects. The policy follows months of sustained campaigning from 350 and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and is a win for trans-Tasman people power.
It is also an enormous blow to mining corporate giant Adani and their plan to build the world's largest coal mine in Carmichael, Queensland as Westpac bank was the only bank still considering funding the mine. The mine would be a climate catastrophe for native species, wetlands and the Great Barrier Reef. With all major Australian banks now refusing to fund it, it may never get in the ground.
Here in New Zealand, Auckland Council, the City of Dunedin, the University of Otago, Victoria University of Wellington, the NZ Tertiary Education Union and the Anglican Diocese of Aotearoa have all taken a stand and pledged full divestment from fossil fuels.
But there is still work to be done, and it is urgent.
While the Adani mine may be one significant project, we know that it is the sum output of industries like coal that are increasing the intensity and severity of climate change.
While it may not seem like divestment impacts you as an individual, ask yourself how you would feel if it was your university, bank or church that directly contributed to the irreversible destruction of an icon like the Great Barrier Reef?
Between May 7-11 we will join an international community of over 300 groups in a Global Divestment Mobilisation, calling on institutions around the world to move their money out of the ground and into the future.
We are taking action because don't want to see New Zealanders becoming climate refugees in their own country. We are taking action because climate change is here and now, and it impacts us all.
350 Aotearoa is the New Zealand arm of the international climate movement 350.org, which aims to unite the world around climate change solutions. Our mission is to inspire climate action in communities across New Zealand.

They're fizzy, refreshing, bubbly, they're delicious…they're also ruining your teeth. Americans love their fizzy drinks, but drinking soda is the main culprit decaying your teeth. In moderation it poses very little threat, but a steady consumption of soft drinks is one of the leading causes of tooth decay. Heavy soda consumption has also been linked to other health complications including diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis.
Sugar in soda combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid, which attacks the teeth. When sipping on soda all day the sugar and the acidity is sitting on your teeth, eating away at your enamel, staining your teeth, and setting off bacteria bombs.
You can avoid tooth decay and other health problems that arise from drinking too many soft drinks, other carbonated beverages, sports drinks, and other sweetened liquids, like fruit juices. Brushing, rinsing and flossing twice daily and visiting your dentist regularly will reduce your risk of tooth decay improve and/or maintain your oral health.
If you're interested in learning more about carbonated beverages, contact Dr. Larry Lieberman, DDS at 727-785-8017 to schedule a consultation today. Or visit www.dentist-lieberman.com for additional information.

It's been a busy few days and all the work's starting to take its toll on you. You find yourself tired and sleepy. So, you go down the hall, find the vending machine, look for an energy drink of your flavor of choice, toss in a few bucks and voila, you've just found a way to get yourself out of that mid-shift funk.
All is well and good, right? Well, not exactly. Fact is, even if most people know that drinking energy drinks regularly is bad for the body, it seems that the energy boost isn't all that worth it, especially since it comes at the expense of your beautiful smile.
The main root of the problem is a mix of extremely high sugar content and a citric acid pH that's usually as low as 2.9 all in one drink. Even the extremely high sugar content alone isn't enough to fully describe just how bad energy drinks are for one's teeth. It's the combination of the sugar content and pH levels that makes energy drinks such a danger to the teeth.
Anything acidic, when consumed regularly and in high amounts, can cause damage to tooth enamel, which in time can lead to a myriad of dental problems, including tooth sensitivity, tooth discoloration and pain or discomfort in the teeth. With energy drinks, the teeth are exposed to a huge amount of these acidic substances, which leads to it having a similar detrimental effect on teeth as that of carbonated drinks and juices.
If you're interested in learning more about the effects of energy drinks on your teeth, contact Dr. Larry Lieberman, DDS at 727-785-8017 to schedule a consultation today. Or visit www.dentist-lieberman.com for additional information.

Q: How to build exe in Visual Studio C++ I am a .NET C# developer and trying to learn C++.
I am having issues in trying to create an exe from a console app from Microsoft Visual Studio when I do a build compile and check the Debug folder. There isn't any exe, just some manifest files and other files. I am asking this because I am not sure if this is how it works? is there any another way of doing this?
I have tried the Microsoft Visual Studio console and c:\cl test.cpp, this gives me an test.exe but can it be done from the MSVS GUI like in C#?

A: Have you checked the debug folder at the solution level? I believe this is the default target directory. The DEBUG folder in the project is for the output of temporary build files.

A: Did it compile successfully ?  Also, check your active configuration if its debug or Release ?
Also, check the output path to double check the location of executable.
It works the same as C#, so there is no need for command line.

In October 2015, Natalia Damini won the BEST FEMALE R&B POP artist award at the Underground Music Awards in NYC. Natalia's current single "On The Floor" is #1 on DRT Independent Charts and Cashbox Magazine Charts #38 on DRT National Charts and Cashbox Magazine Charts. The visual has been just as impactful, garnering over 1M YouTube views after its launch. Check it out below.


Neuronal energy demand during synaptic activity is met by increasing local blood flow, a process which is known as functional hyperemia or neurovascular coupling. Though extensively studied in recent years, the cellular mechanisms controlling functional hyperemia remain unclear. Majority of the field has focused on interactions between neurons, astrocytes and arterioles, but new evidence suggests that vascular pericytes may regulate cerebral blood flow at the capillary level. We have developed in vivo imaging techniques to simultaneously monitor pericyte calcium and blood flow. The proposed project will employ novel mouse models and these imaging techniques to investigate the effects of pericyte signaling on brain capillary blood flow in vivo. There will be opportunities to learn mouse handling, stereotaxic injection of AAVs, in vivo two-photon calcium microscopy, intrinsic optical blood flow imaging, histological techniques and computer image analysis.
We are looking for motivated candidates who hold a B.Sc. in biology or related discipline. They must be interested in neurobiology, have good problem solving skills, and can work independently.
Please submit a letter with statement of research interests, CV including research experience, official transcripts and contact details for 2 references by email.


Lotus' Le Mans LMP2 program just got some of their suspension pieces, steering wheels, and other components seized by a court over alleged financial issues.
Auto Hebdo reports that the seizure came from a local court and Speed stated the cause was "allegedly not having met its financial commitments to an undisclosed partner."
A flatbed trailer showed up at the LMP2 team's garage this evening, and the German-run Lotus team dismantled their cars and loaded up the seized parts.
The two T128 chassis remain in the garage, and Lotus is expected to make a full statement in the morning.


As these photos show, here in the south of England we have had heavy falls of snow and the garden looks so lovely in the wintry light that I couldn't resist venturing outside with my camera. In the second photo, the very last roses are flowering bravely amidst a blanket of snow.
As the year starts to draw towards its close, I've been looking back over the months since my website was set up just over a year ago and reflecting with pleasure on the added dimension it has brought to my life. I have been both surprised and delighted to make contact with so many fellow dyers all over the world and I'd like to thank you for following my blog and sharing your experiences with me. I really value your comments and the links to other websites and blogs, some of which have opened up new areas of interest and experimentation for me. I would also like to thank those of you who have supported my efforts to persuade the publishers to reprint "Wild Colour". I am still waiting to hear whether we have been successful and I will let you know of any developments in the New Year.
As I write this we are preparing for the arrival of various family members, including our dear granddaughter, now 18 months old, who will be spending the holiday period here with us. So this will probably be my last post until January and I wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all the very best for 2010.
During the past few weeks I have been in correspondence with an Austrian, Rupert Kampmueller, who is working with a group of basketmakers in Rubona, Uganda. The ladies in Rupert's group make beautifully patterned raffia baskets and also some other items, all dyed with natural dyes. Rupert's main query concerned possible ways to use the fresh leaves of Indigofera arrecta, which grows wild in the area of Uganda where he is working. I am hoping that the methods for using fresh woad leaves can be adapted for obtaining blues from Indigofera arrecta and I look forward to hearing whether he has been successful. If anyone else has any further suggestions for obtaining blues from fresh Indigofera arrecta leaves, I'd be delighted to pass the advice on to Rupert.
In addition to using some local dyes, the ladies also use madder and weld to dye the raffia and I suggested that they might try using local sorghum leaves, which are used to produce reds in many parts of Africa and for which I have sent Rupert some dyeing tips. The designs on the baskets are traditional ones and Rupert and his dyers have created a wide range of strong natural colours to dye the raffia used by the weavers. For more details of the basketmakers and the organisation supporting them, look at the website www.fullcircletrade.com/producers and click on the link to Rubona Weavers.
The following photos, sent to me by Rupert, show some of the baskets and their makers and also some of the dyed raffia.
The raffia in the centre was dyed with fresh woad leaves and the black colour on either side was achieved using the tannin/iron complex. These colours were the result of some test dyeing done by Rupert, while he was at home in Austria before returning to Uganda.
These hanks of raffia show some of the naturally-dyed colours achieved using local plants and also weld and madder.


So next in this tiny mini series about the ladies I'm doing Race for Life is Gemma. Gem was the person back in year 5 who came up with an idea about writing a newspaper (I'm not telling you what about, it is far too dorky) which I think kinda set me off on this whole blogging lark in a way. So if you want someone to blame for all this babble, blame her. I often do.
Hello there, my name is Gemma and I'm an In-between Foot. I was born in the depths of winter either side of Hayley & Rach (the oldies ha!) and Helen (the young one as she likes to be known.) I live in Chester and but work over the border in Wales/Cymru, in the world of insurance. A bit of indemnity anyone?
I hate cold weather, people dropping litter and also some cheesy disco music. Dancing Queen, Livin La Vida Loca & It's Raining Men etc can happily disappear away and I would not miss them. The other four feet would say I like Dinosaurs and The Lion King. I pretend not to like them anymore, but I shed a tear on the opening sequence when I saw TLK 3D in the cinema. I watched Jurassic Park 3 the other day and knew the name of each dinosaur so…guilty!
I'm @botty84uk on Twitter and known by Hayley affectionately as DumDem, I can be a little dizzy at times and mischievous (stink bombs Helen!) What the hell, I'm a Pisces, an intelligent(ish) nutter!
Lastly, I'm the Ginger one of the group, although I would say I was Strawberry Blonde, but as I write this I can hear people going yeah yeah so it's easier to put the ginger colour first! Although strangely none of the feet tan easily?!
I've known Rach the longest, even before I could walk, probably because we lived two doors away growing up, so I was always at one house or the other. I think my classiest moment was learning to ride my bike and ending up head first in her paddling pool. We've had many memories over the 28 years. I met Helen a couple of years later at playschool I think. She was at wasn't at my third birthday but was at my fourth, so I think it was somewhere in-between then! We went though school together and I was always remember her many romances throughout primary school! We were in a group together in year three and then we met…Hayley. She was the new girl who arrived in summer 1992. She sat with me and Helen in our group and it wasn't long before we showed her the Huntington ways…dressing up in pillow cases, parading round the village in them then slapping our thighs singing Arawak Indians. Also Hayley and I liked to eat lunch in the stock cupboard when the other girls were out playing netball, sport, us?? We were too busy reading and drawing. Then we grew up and drifted apart and back again but always in touch, as when we meet up, it's like we were never apart! I can say that I have been employed with all of the feet at some point, whether it is payrolling, checkouting or ticketing! I have so many memories I could list but will stop as it will turn into an essay.
I originally did the Race for Life in 2007 with Hayley and Helen in Chester. I am back for round two. This year will be a little different to whatever theme/obstacle we put ourselves in. I enjoy exercise but tend to go very pink and like chocolate and food a little too much, so I am a bit on the chunky side. My name features the word Bott, so it would be a crime if I had a small Bott(om.) I am running for Hayley's mum, I lost my uncle in 2003 and most recently my Nana last year, both to Bowel Cancer. I also am running for my friend's dad who they lost in 2009 to Pancreatic Cancer. These are a few out of too many people to list who have suffered from or been affected by Cancer. It's an awful condition and the sooner we find out more about it the better, so people in the future will not have to go through what we have gone through. God, I feel emotional typing this.
You can help raise money by sponsoring our team, the Four Feet on June 9th making a fool out of ourselves on Bristol Downs.
Please pledge your support. Even if it is only as little as 50p, you are thinking of us and we will take that on when we are going round!
* Bosnia is actually really nice and is one of my favourite places I have visited.

Croatia has a universal health care system. The population is covered by a basic health insurance plan provided by statute and optional insurance and administered by the Croatian Health Insurance Fund.
In 2012, annual compulsory healthcare related expenditures reached 21.0 billion kuna (c. 2.8 billion euro).
Dentists in Croatia study at The School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb, founded in 1948 as the Department of Odontology within the Medical School and the only institution of its kind in Croatia.
After graduating, a student is entitled DDS or DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery, or Doctor of Dental Medicine). Many of Croatia's dentists undertake training courses all over the world which provide invaluable knowledge and include internships in world educational centres such as The School of Dentistry at The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the Global Institute for Dental Education (gIDE) which is established by professionals in order to go beyond the ordinary UCLA schedule running courses in implantology and dentistry in the UCLA facilities, as well as the Nobel Biocare Centre in Sweden under supervision of leading world specialists.
Dentists must belong to the Croatian Dental Chamber, the independent and autonomous professional association of doctors of dental medicine in Croatia. Other official organisations include the Croatian Society of Periodontology, the Croatian Medical Association, the Croatian Society for Dental Implantology and the Croatian Society for Education in Implantology.

, is part of the ongoing trend of new restaurants and lounges bringing life back to Coconut Grove.
Sushi Central Lounge is located next door to the Paragon Grove 13 Movie Theatre, and diners can take advantage of a $45 "Dinner and a Movie" special, which includes any two appetizers, any two signature sushi rolls and two movie tickets. No advance purchase is required and the offer is good any day, including weekends, until November.
Other specials include a daily happy hour from 4 to 9 p.m. with $5 margaritas, $7 martinis and half-priced mixed drinks and a Tuesday evening sushi and champagne night.
Sushi Central Lounge is a large grey room with bright accents. Red curtains and Britto-esque butterfly portraits adorn the space, which is broken up into smaller lounge areas and banquettes, perfect for sipping cocktails and sharing their signature rolls and appetizers.
We were invited to sample some sushi rolls and salads and found them fresh and light, a good choice for the upcoming summer months when the heat and humidity makes the thought of having a heavy meal unappetizing. The sushi was paired with a margarita infused with jalapenos, the heat of the pepper blending nicely with the sweetness of the cocktail.
Sushi Central also plans to open a tequila lounge, featuring 200 different tequilas. Latin-inspired rolls are also in the works. Sushi Central's kitchen is open from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and until 1 a.m. Thursday to Saturday. The bar serves until 3 a.m.

As I already mentioned I tried several solutions


Modest/casual "as you are" to formal.
8:30 & 9:45 services with a Praise Team or acoustical worship you will see maybe one tie. 11:00 service with piano, organ & choir you will see more ties and dresses.
Whether you prefer worship or Bible study first parking is available off Jackson Rd & Bluebell Rd. Enter the buildings at the tower. Anyone with a yellow lanyard on can help you get where you prefer to be. The Sanctuary will be on your right and Bible study areas will be to your left.
Families with small children: From the parking off Jackson Rd & Galbraith Ave there is a covered entrance that leads to the children's welcome desk. At that desk children 3 and under can be checked in for care and children 4 and up can be directed to Bible study. Please ensure children 3 and under have their bags clearly labeled with their names and parents' names.


From the shores of the Solent, Amanda Lamb has gone on to present programmes around the world – but being at home with her family is where she is happiest.
White sandy beaches, historical tucked away towns, exciting cityscapes and mountainous retreats – just some of the locations you may have seen as a backdrop to presenter Amanda Lamb as she scoured the world for potential properties on Channel 4's A Place in the Sun.
Life's a little different for Amanda at the moment however, having recently given birth to her second daughter Charlotte. Despite originally hailing from Hampshire, Amanda now lives at home near Richmond with her husband Shaun, who she met while filming the show and who now feels a little outnumbered. "Lottie is such a beautiful little girl and we're chuffed to have her here – if not a little tired," she says.
At 41, Amanda admits that she's more than happy she didn't have children too early on in life: "I have friends that had their babies in their 20s; while we were going to nightclubs and bars they were up all night feeding babies. Now they're in their 40s and their children have grown up so they have their lives back again. I did it the other way around. I travelled the world and did lots of amazing things.
So Amanda quit her job as an estate agent and moved to London: "It was a scary experience and I hated it for the first couple of months. Then I got the Scottish Widows campaign a year after starting and from then on life was fantastic," she says.
Presenting the Channel 4 show is Amanda's highlight of her television career so far, not least because that's where she met her husband: "I got to travel the world, when filming pieces to camera on a beach like the one I visited in Fiji I would think 'gosh, I'm getting paid to do this'.
Amanda has always had a passion for property and an obsession with interiors. Even as a child in Havant at 15, she had to share a bedroom with her younger sister: "I wanted to decorate in Laura Ashley florals. My sister was nine at the time which meant half the bedroom was desperately grown up and the other half was full of Care Bears," she laughs.
When she's not filming and being a new mum, Amanda still enjoys visiting her home county: "My dad lives in Southsea now and my best friend lives in Romsey so I get to visit a lot.

Bansko Ski Resort Guide
Bansko has developed into a modern holiday snow sports destination, thanks to the excellent facilities combined with breath-taking nature and the traditional spirit of the old town that has been beautifully preserved through the centuries.
Skiers and Boarders of all abilities are well catered for as Bansko has over 70 kilometres of marked pistes, which are easily accessed by a fantastic network of lifts. As the day draws to a close, the apres-ski is centred around the local 'Mehanas', a friendly taverna type restaurant serving traditional Bulgarian cuisine and drinks, often with roaring log fires and live entertainment. For a truly enjoyable winter sports holiday, enhanced by warm Bulgarian hospitality, visit Bansko where you really can have the best of both worlds.
Amazing Value For Money
Bulgaria's efforts to modernise its ski resorts have resulted in international recognition. In 2006, the prize for the ski resort that had most developed was awarded to Bansko by the Great Skiing and Snowboarding Guide. In 2013, the resort of Bansko once again emerged as one of the cheapest ski destinations in the world, offering consumers the best value for their money. This welcoming news was announced in the recent Post Office Ski Resort Report which compiles data from leading ski resorts around the world to put together a comprehensive report detailing which destinations provide the best choice available to clients. Recognised as the very best in the global ski tourism industry, the World Ski Awards took place during November 2013 in Austria's winter sports destination of Kitzbuhel where Bansko picked up the 'Bulgaria's Best Ski Resort 2013' award. In 2015 Bansko once again played host to the Women's Alpine FIS World Cup over the weekend of February 28 to March 1.
In less than 20 minutes the fast Gondola will take you to the Bansko ski centre, which is situated approximately 12km away from town. The ski center has 70km of marked ski runs and 9km of cross country tracks that have been extensively cultivated. More than 80% of the slopes are covered by snow cannons and all runs are groomed by more than 12 Kassbohrer slope maintenance vehicles to guarantee maximum safety and pleasure from the great selection of nursery, intermediate, and advanced pistes.
The ski runs are serviced by a number of chair lifts and drag lifts, all of which Doppelmayer lifts, including the 8-man Gondola and the four-chair lift with bubble shields to protect you from harsh weather conditions. If you still have some energy left at the end of you day, why return to the resort when you can ski a unique run of 16km uninterrupted skiing, starting from Todorka Peak at the highest point of the ski center, all the way to base station of the Gondola lift at the outskirts of town. The last 7 km of the slopes are floodlit and the entire facility is equipped with artificial snow machines to ensure a great skiing experience even in warmer conditions. Map and more
Among other Bulgarian mountain resorts, Bansko offers what is probably the most lively apres-ski, because it is a combination of a modern mountain resort and a living rustic town with a population of about 10,000 people. Almost a hundred 'mehana' dining places offer traditional local cuisine dishes, such as 'kapama' or 'Banski starets' in the atmosphere of traditional songs and dances, performed by local artists. Besides the famous local church, St. Trinity, there are many historical, architectural, and cultural monuments in Bansko, including the houses of many famous Bulgarians from the period of the Bulgarian Revival. There is also an ice-skating rink conveniently situated on the way to the gondola lift and just next door to Hotel Strazhite.
Bansko's most popular hangout for night birds is the Amnesia disco club, which features popular music in a relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the day, for a truly happy ending, the Happy End restaurant by the gondola base station turns into a night club and the lively atmosphere there is only rivalled by the Amnesia discotheque in the centre of town. Other clubs, such as the Buddha Bar club and No Name discotheque, add a modern flavour to this town of otherwise conservative moods. Bansko's nightlife is completed by a wide selection of pubs and bars offering variety of cocktails, live music and karaoke. For a quieter night out the Bowling arena in hotel Strazhite might be a very good alternative.
As Bansko is a small town and not just a resort area, there are plenty of shops. The old town is worth exploring for more traditional feel and lovely local souvenirs to surprise your family and friends with back home.
There is an open air ice rink situated close to the Gondola station.
In addition to pub-crawling in the local taverns of Bansko, a number of excursions to nearby sites of interest, such as the Rila Monastery and exciting apres-ski activities can be booked with your local representatives in the resort for a truly memorable holiday. Children aged 2-11 get a reduction on selected excursions.
