The Sierra Club's Ozark Headwaters Group has endorsed Lioneld Jordan for Mayor of Fayetteville and Matthew Petty for Ward 2 Alderman in the November 6 election.
Petty is a former Chairman of the OHG Sierra Club's Executive Committee. His priorities are reducing sprawl, improving alternative transportation, and expanding recycling to increase the diversion rate of solid waste from landfills.
In making this decision, Sierra Club members began looking carefully at the major candidates in September, reviewing records and responses to questionnaires this month. The endorsements are based on candidate responses to the Sierra Club questionnaire, records of achievements in office, and individual history of working with the Club on key environmental issues. The specific issues on the questionnaires included water quality, energy conservation, transportation, and recycling.
"We reserve our political endorsements for candidates we believe will be outstanding advocates of natural-resource conservation and, more importantly, who can work effectively to achieve actual results," Shepherd said. "Our endorsements are for individuals who have shown a deep commitment to environmental protection to ensure a better quality of life for all by protecting the health and safety of our residents."
Both candidates received unanimous support from the Executive Committee and the Political Committee.
The Sierra Club is dedicated to the preservation, protection, and exploration of the earth's natural environment. The non-profit environmental organization founded in 1892 has approximately 3,000 members in Arkansas and 1,100 members in the Ozark Headwaters Group region of Northwest Arkansas.

These Green Papers are short, evolving vision statements of the future meant to inspire a nationwide dialogue on the arts. Over the course of 2010, anyone with a vested interest in the future of the arts is invited to comment, suggest changes, and offer alternative visions in this dynamic virtual exchange of ideas through the Green Paper section of ARTSblog.
* Visit the Green Paper section of ARTSblog on a regular basis to join and follow the dialogue and suggest changes.
More than 20 national arts service organizations and peer groups have already joined in the Green Paper project, with more to come. Green Paper topics represent a broad spectrum of the arts and arts disciplines.
The Future of...Artists' and Arts Organizations' Preparedness and Emergency Response, Artists' Residency Programs, Arts Education, Arts in Healthcare, Arts Learning for Children/Youth, Community Arts Education, Cultural Democracy, Dance Education, Leadership for the Arts, Preservation, Private Sector Support for the Arts, Public Art, Public Voice in Arts Advocacy, Strings, Digital Infrastructure for the Creative Economy, and Urban Municipal Arts Agencies, with more to come, and a special white paper on the future of Philanthropy in the Arts.
"We do a lot of things well in the arts — from working miracles with little money to transforming lives — that's all. But one thing we don't do well is reflect together on where we stand in our art forms in a changing culture, or consider where we are heading as different arts fields and one arts community. The Green Paper adventure invites you to contribute your best and most provocative thoughts to clarify a vision of the arts culture you yearn to create. I hope you can find that bit of attention and energy to participate — the very thing we ask of Americans regarding the arts. See what's cooking at http://blog.artsusa.org/category/greenpapers."

Iran seeks to reap summit rewards
Image source, AFP
Iran is hoping the NAM meeting will project an image of solidarity
Under international sanctions for its controversial nuclear programme, Iran has faced down further Western attempts at economic and diplomatic isolation by hosting this year's meeting of the 120-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and is seeking to reap the benefits, reports the BBC's Mohsen Asgari in Tehran.
As Tehran prepares for some 7,000 visitors to descend on the city, a five-day public holiday has been called to clear the city of its stifling traffic and pollution.
Many families in the city have made the best use of the conference to take a long holiday at the end of summer while schools are still closed.
The northern part of the capital has been beautified, with lamp-posts and road markings freshly painted in shining blue and signs displaying doves of peace.
Placards, banners and posters declaring "The Non-Aligned Movement is a symbol of independence throughout the world" or "Lasting peace through joint global governance" are visible everywhere.
For Iran, the NAM conference is an important opportunity to portray itself as part of the international scene, despite intensive efforts by the United States and Israel to isolate it over its disputed nuclear programme.
"Holding the event in Tehran is a source of dignity. The world will see that the plots by the world's arrogant powers against the country are fruitless," an Iranian vice- president, Ebrahim Azizi, said.
"The conference proves it is not the global community that has problems with Iran, but the US and its puppets like Israel," said Ahmad Lotfi, a professor of international relations at the Islamic Azad University.
"Interestingly enough the Obama administration is admitting the point by trying to dissuade various leaders from attending the meeting," he added.
Iranian officials have not yet given the full guest list for the summit, but leaders confirmed so far include Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi as well as Cuban leader Raul Castro and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi and Foreign Minister Walid Muallem will also attend, and Qatar's emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and Lebanese President Michel Suleiman are expected to show.
But it is the planned attendance of UN chief Ban Ki-moon that has drawn the fiercest criticism, with Israel describing the move as a "big mistake" and the United States calling it "strange".
US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters: "We frankly don't think that Iran is deserving of these high-level presences that are going there.''
Her comments came a few days after the new president of Egypt, a country that has long been alienated from Iran, said he would also attend the summit meeting - a decision that disturbed the Israelis.
Mohammed Mursi's decision is seen as a landmark trip after Iran cut its diplomatic relations with Egypt in 1979, following Cairo's peace deal with Israel.
"Iran and Egypt are moving towards restoring diplomatic relations which were severed more than three decades ago," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said in an interview published on Tuesday.
"We will pursue this path and restoration of relations depends only on protocol measures."
The NAM is a grouping of nations that ostensibly see themselves as neither for nor against any of the world's major powers.
Some experts believe pressure from the US and Israel could not stop delegates from attending the conference.
Mohamadreza Salimi, a political journalist in Tehran, said: "Fifty-five per cent of the world's population are citizens of non-aligned nations. It's not something the United Nations secretary general can easily dismiss.
"How can [Mohammed] Mursi close his eyes on the biggest political gathering in the world after the UN while he needs to establish his foreign policies at the beginning of his term?"
The NAM summit also promotes the Islamic Republic's political face and could serve as a good political backup for Iran in its future talks with the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany.
The summit is also likely to help Iran boost its economy.
"The presence of the senior world officials in Tehran will prepare the way for bilateral and multilateral negotiations to help Iran bypass the Western sanctions, establish joint banks, set up transportation and transit networks," Iranian lawmaker Seyyed Hosseyn Naqavi told reporters.
The Islamic Republic Guard Corps has deployed tight security around the NAM meeting, deploying thousands of police on street corners and vehicle checkpoints.
They are blocking off the roads around the summit venue so that inside politicians can open new roads for Iran back into the international community.

George Scalise was the former president of the Building Service Employees International Union (BSEIU) who was convicted of racketeering due to the exposure of labor racketeering by newspaper columnist Westbrook Pegler, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1941 for his reporting.

The BSEIU (known as the Service Employees International Union since 1968) was founded in 1921 in Chicago to represent janitors, elevator operators, and window washers. Membership increased significantly with a 1934 strike in New York City's Garment District.

Scalise, who rose to head the union due to his connections with organized crime, was indicted by New York District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, charged with extorting $100,000 from employers over three years. Convicted of labor racketeering, Scalise was sentenced to 10–20 years in prison.

Organized crime infiltration of BSEIU
Scalise succeeded Jerry Horan, the corrupt head of the union, as president in 1937. Under Horan's presidency, the union's ties to the Chicago Outfit deepened. In 1933, Horan was accused by former Illinois Attorney General Edward J. Brundage of consorting with gangster Al Capone and seeking to improperly influence James H. Wilkerson, the judge overseeing Capone's 1931 tax evasion trial.

Horan, however, initially attempted to avoid being put under the influence of Capone and his Chicago Outfit. Capone sought control BSEIU in order to embezzle funds from the national union's treasury. But Big Tim Murphy had been gunned down in 1928, leaving Horan without protection. Horan could not turn to Chicago Mayor Bill Thompson, either, for Thompson was closely linked to the Capone mob. In March 1931, an intimidated Horan made peace with Capone. By 1933, Horan was taking his orders from Murray "The Camel" Humphreys, Capone's liaison to unions.

In 1934, the Capone mob forced Horan to hire George Scalise as a union organizer. Scalise, a 38-year-old from New York City, had been involved in interstate prostitution, labor racketeering and other organized crime activities since the early 1920s.  A protégé of Anthony "Little Augie Pisano" Carfano, a former Capone associate who had moved to New York City and joined what was then known as the Luciano crime family, Scalise had used his mob connections to establish several small union locals with the Teamsters. With Carfano's help, he then built several large locals of building janitors and elevator operators, began skimming members' dues and receiving kickbacks from employers, and then affiliated the locals with the BSEIU. In 1934, Scalise asked Carfano to use his Chicago Outfit connections to help Scalise become the Eastern Representative for BSEIU, a position which put him in control of all BSEIU locals on the East Coast. Horan agreed to the deal, and Scalise was not only appointed to the position but Scalise also received 50 percent of the dues from any newly organized members in the East. In 1935, when the Fifth Vice President position on the BSEIU Board of Directors opened up due to a retirement, Scalise worked with Carfano and Horan to win appointment to the position.

Because of Horan's mob connections, BSEIU grew tremendously during Horan's presidency. The mob received more money the more union members there were, so there was every incentive to bring in new members. Mob enforcers intimidated employers into permitting unionization of their employees, and existing locals swelled with members while new locals proliferated. BSEIU grew from 10,000 members in 1932 to 40,000 members in 1936 and 75,000 members in 1939.

Is it easier to say "your sins are forgiven" or "get up, take your pallet, and walk"?
There are two interpretations of the paralytic story and the saying about "the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" which would take Yeshua's words in a lesser manner, not as a self-claim to such great authority.
There is also a profound wisdom lesson in Yeshua's riddle. This is a story that carries more complexity and meaning than many realize.
(1) the idea that a prophet might have divine knowledge that a person's sins are forgiven.
(2) the idea that Son of Man here means humanity in general. The meaning would be, people can declare each other's sins to be forgiven.
(3) the idea that Yeshua is the Son of Man and has unique authority to forgive sins.
Mark's account is shaped to strongly suggest (3), though some scholars will continue pointing to (1) and (2) because they prefer, or at least want people to realize the possibility of, a non-divine Yeshua in Mark. The reasoning for such a position goes like this: Yeshua was considered divine only by the later Church after much reflection on the mysteries of his sayings and deeds. Mark is long before the Church came to this realization and thus we should avoid seeing hints of it in his gospel.
And in answer to (2): This interpretation is weak in light of the complicated, literary use of Son of Man in Mark, both for the eschatological and powerful figure of authority and, ironically, for the sufferer whose trials are a ransom for others. Yeshua's saying is sufficiently ambiguous so that the opponents who hear him cannot pin him down and accuse him successfully in court of blasphemy. Yet Mark's shaping of the story is clearly intended to remove all ambiguity for the reader.
And then there is the riddle. Yeshua's way of demonstrating his authority is a wisdom tale. Forgiveness of sins is invisible and unprovable. Healing a visible disability is clear-cut. The riddle "which is harder?" is a doubly complex one. To the skeptic, the healing is harder because it requires demonstration. To the believer, granting forgiveness is harder, because broken union with God has consequences reaching farther than disability. In this first of five conflict stories, Yeshua visibly demonstrates his authority as the Son of God, though cloaking his identity in the more ambiguous Son of Man. Throughout Mark's gospel there will be a growing realization that the Son of Man is the Son of God.

Apparently, you can't put an expiration date on Lady Gaga's meat dress.
The infamous dress, which Gaga wore to the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards, is now on display at the 'Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power' exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
According to MTV News, the dress will be displayed alongside Gaga's childhood piano and the Armani Prive orbit gown she wore to the Grammy Awards.
In case you're wondering, RRHOF chief curator Jim Henke told MTV they will keep the dress, which was put together by various cuts of meat, fresh by concealing it inside a case.

Coming to Our Senses
Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness
Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual well-being.
Meditation Is Not What You Think
Mindfulness and Why It Is So Important
We think we know what meditation is - especially in an era when "mindfulness" has improbably rocketed into the mainstream. Millions of people around the world have taken up a formal mindfulness meditation practice as part of their everyday lives. But there's no hard-and-fast rule that says you have to meditate in a certain way, in a particular place, or following a specific tradition. So what is meditation anyway? And why might it be worth trying? Or nurturing further if you already have practice?
The Healing Power of Mindfulness
A New Way of Being
In The Healing Power of Mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn shares a cornucopia of specific examples as to how the cultivation of mindfulness can reshape your relationship with your own body and mind - explaining what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, how meditation can affect our biology and our health, and what mindfulness can teach us about coming to terms with all sorts of life challenges, including our own mortality, so we can make the most of the moments we have.
The Mindful Way Through Depression
Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness
Written by: Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, and others
Narrated by: Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, and others
If you've ever struggled with depression or know someone who has, take heart: Mindfulness practice is a simple, powerful way to naturally break depression's self-perpetuating cycle. With The Mindful Way Through Depression, four leading researchers present insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy about how to triumph over this illness - and, more importantly, how to prevent it from striking again.
Fantastic for Anyone Suffering from Anxiety and/or Depression

Falling Awake
In Falling Awake, Jon Kabat-Zinn focuses on the "how" of mindfulness - explaining how meditation brings us into intimate relationship with all our senses, how to establish a formal meditation practice, and how to overcome some of the common obstacles to incorporating meditation into daily life in an age of perpetual self-distraction. By "coming to our senses", we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.
Cultivating the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind
Mindfulness Meditation is about learning to experience life fully as it unfolds - moment by moment. One popular misconception about meditation is that it is a way to make your mind blank so you can escape from what you are feeling. However, author Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn wants you to understand that meditation is an invitation to wake up, experience the fullness of your life, and transform your relationship with your problems, your fears, and any pain and stress in your life.

Six Guided Practices for Awakening
Written by: Joseph Goldstein
Narrated by: Joseph Goldstein
The profound techniques of Vipassana (or insight meditation) are all rooted in the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's practice-oriented teaching on the four foundations of mindfulness. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein brings you a series of core teachings and guided practices for "looking directly at the nature of the mind and body, at how suffering is created, and how we can awaken and be free."
Awakening Your Life's Purpose
Written by: Eckhart Tolle
Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle
Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.
A great follow up

One of the great secular texts on vipassana.
It's impossible to describe the impact that this book and others like it from John Kabat-Zinn have had on modern treatmemt methods for mental health, the popularization and respectability of the mindfulness movement, and by extension, the quality of life of millions of people today. Needless to say, it's worth a read.
kelly melvin
Please re-issue this without the horrid music.
Maybe JKZ has something to say but I wouldn't know. After wincing while slogging through an hour or so, I just couldn't take the impossibly cheesy soundtrack that's usually used to indicate an intimate scene in a very very bad 80's movie. Here's irony. This audio book made me angry and I wasted $20.
A great reminder
I will listen to this super calming walk through of meditation when a refresher is needed. This was very pleasant even as a way to calm down without starting a meditation practice. I recommend it.

Great book! Trying to "practice" mindfulness everyday and life is good! Such an amazing and life changing practice! #Audible1 #lovelife #bethechange
Spiritual Direction: All 360 Degrees
Well, I have read D. T. Suzuki almost in toto, Dalai Lama, heard Victor Frankyl in person, (and for those who can stretch memory back to the 60's) heard Silvano Arietti in person, and now a young spiritual director pointed me to WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE. As the other reviewer said, "relaxing", but much more...a gate to the essence of meditative practice, MINDFULNESS, without fanfare, highly enjoyable, very accurate, evocative of your inner depth, centering, peaceful, positive, satisfying. A POINTER on the way. I listened to it once and found myself centered in a deeper meditative practice, and on the second listening, I find as much new as the first time: it unfolds. Highly recommended. I also liked HOW TO PRACTICE, and of course, PEBBLES AND PEARLS, or is it PEARLS AND PEBBLES? P.S. If you're ADD you'll love this books centering, concentrating, ordering effect. Great reading by the author!

GET RID OF THE MUSIC
What made the experience of listening to Wherever You Go There You Are the most enjoyable?
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was fine. what was so incredibly distracting was the MUSIC primarily at the beginning of the chapters/sections. I could not hear the narrator. It is extremely annoying, frustrating and so counter to the whole purpose of the book content. The MUSIC was so LOUD that it drowned out the narrator. Not only that, but the music itself was of such a type that it gives me the feeling that one gets when hearing someone run their fingernails down a chalkboard. It's awful. The only reason I put up with it (like I have a choice) is because I want to hear the content of the book. I will likely have to ALSO BUY the print or electronic print version so I can read it with my eyes and get the content. This is awful and people who purchased this should be refunded.
DITCH THE MUSIC. and Give me a REFUND.
A great book BUT......
I love Jon Kabat-Zinn and this is an excellent book. Also, I enjoyed his narration, HOWEVER, why oh why do audiobook producers add music to the narration??!! It always, (no I'm serious, ALWAYS) interferes/competes with the narration and sometimes makes it next to impossible to hear the WORDS being spoken. This is so aggravating to me. I don't play music when I read a book, why would I want to listen to music when I listen to a book? Apart from this completely distracting issue I recommend the audiobook based on what the author wrote, not the production. I suppose I'll have to buy the book as well so I can read the portions that I couldn't hear because of the music. It's really maddening.

Mindset Reset
I have thoroughly enjoyed the gentle coaxing to awaken. I'd not thought of myself as asleep, but only as I awaken do I recognize my long slumber. I listen to this tape nightly on my ipod as I fall asleep. I am amazed at the power of suggestion. My brain has been responding and leading the way with new thoughts, ideas, emotions, ambitions and responses. Its difficult to describe, but I have begun to breathe deliberately during the day, to be more 'present' with my husband and with my son, to find compassion for my ex and (some) forgiveness for him, but also to honestly consider my role in all the high conflict. I've had an odd, lingering and growing notion that I should fast- that I will benefit greatly from a fast- emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically. I'm not particularly interested, but it's becoming clear that my interest will be won over by what my body and mind have determined is important for purge and to make change. Another thing that occurred to me while breathing is that I should strive to be encouraging and positive to others- less judgemental and critical. I was very very sadden by that awareness. It made me review much of my life and many of my relationships. As if I were being directed by a personal tutor/mentor. Rather, I've simply begun to listen and for once, to really try and hear. This book has been a most powerful tool. Wow, how could I have possibly known it would change me so. Thank you~
Very Relaxing
This is a refreshing and enjoyable audiobook; even if you were to do nothing but listen to it as a relaxation audio, it would still benefit you! Dr. Kabat-Zinn's voice is extremely soothing. Highly recommended.

Meditation and Mindfulness 101
An excellent and easy to understand audio for those who are just starting to learn meditation and the mentality behind it. Highly recommended.
Very Real; Not New Agey
I'm not a Meditation Guru, but I do like to learn about and practice meditation once in a while. And I take deep breaths from time to time to de-stress. If you're kind of like me in that last regard at least, I think you'll enjoy this book. It's very down-to-Earth, and offers nothing more than what the title claims: Wherever you go, there you are. It's a simple truth, and like meditation, he does not make this out to be more than it is. His explanations of meditation are very good and will not lose you in the stars.
I've listened to parts of it several times, when I want to take my mind off of things and veg out - or fall asleep.
It's also nice to listen to once in a while to remind myself that this is really it, and we need to take advantage of our days- and sometimes the best way to do that is to sit back, acknowledge we're here and what we're doing, and just breathe.
American sage
I read this book several years ago, but it was worth the download to hear Kabat Zinn himself. For me, listening to his voice is itself a stress reduction experience.
His mind-body-spirit approach derives from his long time Buddhist background but could be adopted even by those not comfortable with Eastern "religions." His work is research based, critically acclaimed by practitioners of both traditional and alternative medicine, with years of clinical success.
If you are not sure you want to try his approach, check out some of his sessions on U Tube. If you had to listen/read only one author on the mind body connection, I'd recommend Jon Kabat Zinn over any other medical, alternative medical or new age guru. He's both accessible and profound.
Lady Law
Excellent, powerful and his voice is soothing
I listen to the whole book at least once a day. I think it is great and no matter where I jump to in the book the idea is consistent. He doesn't tell us WHAT to do, he explains the benefits of doing certain "suggestions". He starts by saying we are where we are and sometimes we don't realize if this is an okay place to be because we are not IN THE MOMENT- we are not being mindful. We are not PRESENT in our current lives. He explains it further and made me realize that his explanation though profound actually was plausible. The audio version makes it easy for me to listen to the book so often... at the desk, between breaks, car rides, cooking, and even as I sat watching Hannnah Montana with the baby. Now that is versatility. Thank you Audible!!!
Allison O'Brien
Background music hugely distracting
I hated the background music. Very distracting which detracted from the content. Made the performance "busy"

1Criteria
2Procedure for listing
3Consequences of listing
4Candidate list of substances of very high concern
Substance of very high concern
Chemical substance that is hazardous to humans or the environment
"SVHC" redirects here. For the Kansas hospital center, see Stormont–Vail HealthCare.
A substance of very high concern (SVHC) is a chemical substance (or part of a group of chemical substances) concerning which it has been proposed that use within the European Union be subject to authorisation under the REACH Regulation.[1] Indeed, listing of a substance as an SVHC by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is the first step in the procedure for authorisation or restriction of use of a chemical. The first list of SVHCs was published on 28 October 2008 and the list has been updated many times to include new candidates. The most recent update occurred in January 2022 to include a total of 223 SVHC.[2]
Criteria[edit]
The criteria are given in article 57 of the REACH Regulation.[3][4] A substance may be proposed as an SVHC if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
it is carcinogenic;
it is mutagenic;
it is toxic for reproduction;
it is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic[5] (PBT substances);
it is very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB substances);
there is "scientific evidence of probable serious effects to human health or the environment which give rise to an equivalent level of concern"; such substances are identified on a case-by-case basis.
The "equivalent concern" criterion is significant because it is this classification which allows substances which are, for example, neurotoxic, endocrine-disrupting or otherwise present an unanticipated environmental health risk to be regulated under REACH.[6]
Simply because a substance meets one or more of the criteria does not necessarily mean that it will be proposed as an SVHC. Many such substances are already subject to restrictions on their use within the European Union, such as those in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation.[7] SVHCs are substances for which the current restrictions on use (where these exist) might be insufficient. There are three priority groups for assessment:[8]
PBT substances and vPvB substances;
substances which are widely dispersed during use;
substances which are used in large quantities.
Procedure for listing[edit]
Proposals for inclusion of a substance on the list of SVHCs can come either from the European Commission or one of the Member States of the European Union. The proposals are made public by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and are open for public comment for 60–90 days. If the substance is deemed to meet one or more of the criteria, it is then listed as an SVHC.[9]
Once a substance has been listed as an SVHC, the Agency commissions a technical report from one or more national or private laboratories, which analyses the available information on manufacture, imports, uses and releases of the substance, as well as possible alternatives. On the basis of this technical report, the Agency decides whether to prioritise the substance, in effect, whether to make a recommendation to the European Commission to add the substance to Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation, making its use subject to authorisation. The draft recommendations must be made public and opened for comment for three months before the final recommendations are sent to the Commission.[10] The first draft recommendations were published on 14 January 2009, and new draft recommendations must be issued at least once every two years.
Consequences of listing[edit]
The list of SVHCs is primarily a public list of substances for which the European Chemicals Agency is considering imposing a requirement for authorisation for some or all uses. However, there are some direct consequences of including a substance on the list of SVHCs. Suppliers of pure SVHCs must provide their customers with a safety data sheet (SDS).[11] Suppliers of mixtures of substances which contain more than 0.1% by weight of any SVHC must provide their customers with a safety data sheet on request.[12] Manufacturers or importers of articles containing more than 0.1% by weight of any SVHC must provide their customers, and consumers on request, with adequate information on the safe use and disposal of the article, including the name of the SVHC(s) concerned.[13] From 1 June 2011, manufacturers and importers of articles also have to notify the European Chemicals Agency of the quantities of SVHCs used in their articles.[13]
In addition to the obviously involved chemical industry, there are many more industries affected by this regulation: drapery and leather industry, plastic processing, cosmetic industry, food industry, petroleum processing, printing industry, sports equipment industry, toys industry, recycling industry, electrical engineering industry, fine mechanics industry, optics industry, engine and plant production industry.[14]
Candidate list of substances of very high concern[edit]
The following substances are included on the candidate list of substance of very high concern. This list is updated at regular intervals by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), with the first substances listed on 28 October 2008.[15] In June 2012, ECHA updated the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for Authorization by including 13 new substances.[16] Among the 13 newly added SVHCs on June 18, 2012, four of them (C.I. Basic Violet 3, C.I. Basic Blue 26, C.I. Solvent Blue 4 and 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)-4'-(methylamino)trityl alcohol) are identified as SVHC only if the presence of the carcinogenic constituents Michler's ketone or Michler's base is ≥ 0.1% w/w. Therefore, all the proposed substances are carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction (CMR substances; H-phrases H340, H341, H350, H351, H360, H361),[17] which may pose serious effects on human beings. To sell or use these substances, manufacturers, importers and users in the European Union (EU) need to apply for authorization from the ECHA.
This list is referred to as the "candidate" list because all substances placed on it are candidates for inclusion in Annex XIV of REACH. If a substance is added to Annex XIV, it is given a "latest application date" and a "sunset date". The sunset date is the date after which the substance cannot be used or imported into the EU without authorisation from the ECHA, and the latest application date is the date by which any applications for use must be submitted to the ECHA.[2]
The most recent update is from July 2021; find the complete list in references.[18][2]

Q: Java Applets and HTML I've got a Java applet that will only work correctly one time on any browser.  I've run through the java console and cleared the class cache, refreshed the page, reloaded the browser, emptied the browser cache and I can only get this applet to work once. I've tried chrome, IE10 and FireFox.  any help is greatly appreciated.
here is the applet code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class SolarSystemV3 extends Applet{

int input;

public void init()
{

    String webInput = getParameter("mer");
    if(webInput != null)
        input = Integer.parseInt(webInput);

}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{

    if(input == 1)
    {
        g.drawString("hello mercury", 25, 25);
    }

}

}

here is the HTML:

Mercury

<applet code = "SolarSystemV3.class" width="320" height="120"
<param = "mer" value = "1"/>
</applet>

A:
..here is the HTML:

No it's not.  I don't mean it is not there, I mean what's there is not HTML.  It is some rubbish hacked out by a programmer that is pretending to be HTML.  There are at least 3 errors in it.
To find out what the errors are, use an HTML validation service.

A: The problem is here in your HTML. name attribute of param tag is missing.
<param = "mer" value = "1"/>

use
<param name = "mer" value = "1"/>

The parameter mer is not properly defined in HTML.

Morgan Freeman is an American actor, film director, and narrator. He is noted for his reserved demeanor and authoritative speaking voice. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus and won in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. He has also won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. With an authoritative voice and calm demeanor, this ever popular African American actor has grown into one of the most respected figures in modern US cinema.
Morgan Freeman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Mayme Edna and Morgan Porterfield Freeman, Sr., a barber who died in 1961 from cirrhosis. He has three older siblings. Freeman was sent as an infant to his paternal grandmother in Charleston, Mississippi. His family moved frequently during his childhood, living in Greenwood, Mississippi; Gary, Indiana; and finally Chicago, Illinois. Freeman made his acting debut at age nine playing the lead role in a school play. He then attended Broad Street High School, currently Threadgill Elementary School, in Mississippi.
At age 12, Morgan Freeman won a statewide drama competition, and while still at Broad Street High School, he performed in a radio show based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1955, he graduated from Broad Street, but turned down a partial drama scholarship from Jackson State University, opting instead to work as a mechanic in the United States Air Force.
Freeman moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and worked as a transcript clerk at Los Angeles Community College. During this period, he also lived in New York City, working as a dancer at the 1964 World's Fair, and in San Francisco, where he was a member of the Opera Ring music group. Freeman acted in a touring company version of The Royal Hunt of the Sun, and also appeared as an extra in the 1965 film "The Pawnbroker".
Morgan Freeman made his off-Broadway debut in 1967, opposite Viveca Lindfors in The Nigger Lovers, a play about the civil rights era "Freedom Riders", before debuting on Broadway in 1968's all-black version of Hello, Dolly!, which also starred Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway.
Then came the Seventies, and the first real taste of fame. Strangely, considering he's now one of the most respected screen actors alive, this came with the TV series The Electric Company, a kind of prototype Sesame Street that taught kids phonetics and grammar via sketches, songs and cartoons. Co-starring with Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby, Freeman appeared as such characters as Easy Reader, Count Dracula, the Mad Scientist and, naturally given the roles to come, The Cop. Freeman later took a supporting role in the film Brubaker but things cooled off after that.
Fed up with the lower wages of theatre and having two children to support Freeman auditioned for, and won, the role of a doctor in the daytime soap-opera, Another World. He kept the regular work for two years before leaving to take a role in the film, Harry and Son.
Morgan Freeman returned to Broadway where he was making a name for himself. It was back on Broadway that Freeman landed his Obie award-winning role in the stage version of Driving Miss Daisy. His role as the dignified chauffeur assisting a moody pensioner gave him much needed publicity and it was not long before he landed a role opposite Christopher Reeve in Street Smart. Freeman was 50 in 1987 and winning praise for his characterization of a menacing pimp. He also won his first Oscar nomination for the part. Two years later, Freeman was nominated for another Oscar for playing Hoke Colburn, the chauffeur in the film version of Driving Miss Daisy, opposite Jessica Tandy.
In 1993, Freeman demonstrated his skills on the other side of the camera, making his directorial debut with Bopha!, the story of a South African cop alienated from his son by apartheid. The following year, the actor received a third Oscar nomination as an aged lifer in the prison drama The Shawshank Redemption. He went on to do steady work throughout the rest of the decade. In 2000, as a 63-year-old, Freeman kissed Renée Zellweger in Nurse Betty; it was his first on-screen kiss.
By the time Freeman appeared opposite Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood in Eastwood's acclaimed 2004 boxing drama Million Dollar Baby, his reputation as one of Hollywood's hardest-working, most-respected actors was cemented in place. When Freeman took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the 77th Annual Academy Awards for his performance as the former boxer turned trainer who convinces his old friend to take a scrappy female fighter (Hilary Swank) under his wing, the award was considered overdue given Freeman's impressive body of work.
In 2005, Freeman labeled the concept of a month, dedicated to black history in America, as "ridiculous''. He told a 60 Minutes reporter: "You're going to relegate my history to a month? I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history.''Freeman has played a black President, twice played God and played civil rights activist Nelson Mandella.
Morgan Freeman has worked hard and tries to give something back. Having co-founded the Frank Silvera Writers' Workshop, he's also donated $250,000 to establish a chair of performing arts at Hutchison School for Girls in his birthplace, Memphis. When relaxing, he likes to ride. He owns horses and a boat, as well as collections of gold coins and rare stamps. Coming from so little, Morgan Freeman now owns property in Mississippi, New York, Los Angeles and the Virgin Islands.

What are Coral Reefs and Coral Bleaching ?
Coral reefs are calcium carbonate CaCO3 (limestone) structures. The builders of coral reefs are tiny animals called coral polyps.
On their death, the coral polyps leave calcium carbonate skeletons. These CaCO3 skeletons are arranged into layers by the living polyps.
A coral reef is built up of layers of these skeletons. These layers are covered ultimately by living polyps.
Requirements for the Survival of Coral Organisms
Coral organisms survive in warm waters of tropical regions. Some species may survive in temperate cold waters as well.
Corals live in water which is free from sediments and thus their habitat is not near estuaries.
Corals do not exist below 180 feet, because the microscopic algae which share symbiotic relationship with coral organisms require sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.
Symbiotic Relationship of Coral Organisms
A symbiotic relationship is a relationship in which both the species living together derive mutual benefit.
Coral organisms share a symbiotic relationship with Zooxanthellae algae which are microscopic in nature and live in the tissues of corals.
Zooxanthellae produce carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
These carbohydrates are consumed by coral organisms. On the other hand, Zooxanthellae algae living in corals receive more sunlight as corals live nearer to sea surface (rather than living on the sea floor).
This sunlight enables algae to carry out photosynthesis. Secondly, coral organisms provide safe environment for algae.
Thirdly, coral organisms release CO, which is consumed by algae to carry out photosynthesis.
Advantages of Coral Reefs
Coral reefs provide refuge to many marine species. Thus, coral reefs facilitate marine biodiversity. Due to high biodiversity, coral reef ecosystem is also called 'Tropical Rain Forest of the Oceans'.
Coral reefs provide calm refuge to marine species from wave action.
Coral reefs trap nutrients dissolved in water bodies.
Classification and Location of Coral Reefs in India
Coral reefs are classified as follows:
Fringing reef: A coral reef that lies close to the shore or is contiguous with the shore.
Patch reef: A coral reef in the form of isolated patches.
Barrier reef: A coral reef which is continuous and runs parallel to the coastline. Water body formed between reef and coast is called lagoon.
Atoll: A coral reef which is circular or semi-circular in shape.
Coral reefs can be found in India in the following regions:
Lakshadweep Islands
Gulf of Mannar
Gulf of Kutch.
Coral organisms are naturally white in colour. They acquire different colours as a result of algae living within their tissues.
Coral bleaching refers to the emergence of white colour or fading of colour of the corals due to the discharge of algae from their tissues.
Coral bleaching occurs when corals discharge algae from their bodies or when the rate of photosynthesis carried by algae decreases.
Corals are sensitive to changes in their environment. They can discharge algae due to various reasons such as:
Rise in temperature of water body
Sedimentation of water bodies
Threat from invasive species
Disturbances in their habitat, etc.
If algae loss is prolonged, then eventually the coral host dies.
Death of corals affect marine ecosystem because corals constitute significant part of marine food chain and coral reefs created by corals provide safe refuge to many marine animals.
At present, coral bleaching takes place at a very fast pace. Coral bleaching is considered by scientists as evidence of climate change.
It has been spotted not just among corals of Indian waters, but also in Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef near Queensland, Australia.
Deep-water Corals
The habitat of deep-water corals, also known as cold-water corals, extends to the deeper, darker parts of the oceans, ranging from near the surface to beyond 2,000 m (6,600 ft).
Deep-water corals are most often stony corals, but they also include soft corals.
Like tropical corals, they provide habitat to other species, but deep-water corals do not require Zooxanthellae to survive.
While there are nearly as many species of deep-water corals as shallow-water species, only a few deep-water species develop traditional reefs.
Instead, they form 'reefs, in the shape of 'mounds, which more accurately describes the large calcium carbonate skeleton that is left behind as a reef grows and corals below die off, rather than as a living habitat and refuge. Thus, mounds may or may not contain living deep-sea reefs.
Unlike shallow-water corals, however, deep-sea corals do not need sunlight.
They obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive by trapping tiny organisms in the passing currents.
They are far more widely distributed than scientists previously imagined. What are Coral Reefs and Coral Bleaching ?
They grow in all the world's ocean basins. Scientists have even found deep-sea corals off the coast of Antarctica.

StudentLife is a ministry that exists to help middle school and high school students find and follow Jesus. We provide opportunities for students to worship and learn about God in an environment that is safe and welcoming. We hope to connect each student with a Savior who loves them, other Christian teens, and older Christian adults who can help them on their faith journey.
Our Middle School Ministry meets on Wednesday nights from 3:30p-6:30p during the school year. M6 is a service geared toward middle school students. Students have the chance to worship, hear Biblical preaching, and meet together in small groups.
From 3:30-4:45p students have the chance to hang out with their friends and play games. After that time, a meal is served before musical worship starts at 5:20p with a message and small group time to follow.
Our High School Ministry meets on Sunday nights from 6:00p-8:00p during the school year. We realize that most high school students are ready for that next step of faith, to go deeper in their walk with Christ. The H10 worship service is designed to help high school students to do just that through worship, preaching, and small groups.
Life Classes are offered on Sunday mornings during the 9:00a and 10:30a services to help middle school students grow in their understanding and knowledge of the Bible and who God is.
For more information about StudentLife, please contact Dillon Kinsey, Student Minister.

Q: Is there any value in learning UML? I have seen UML mentioned several places in the last few years, but never had a compelling reason to use it at work so far. Is there any value in putting the time and effort to learn it?  (I am a Ruby on Rails developer.)
Edit: I'm also looking for stories about how UML has made a difference in your projects to give me an idea of how I might use it.

A: Yes. It is the international standard methodology for systems analysis and design. When moving from the initial analysis phase through the project life-cycle, the UML gives a good road-map on where to go and how you got there. A few benefits:

*

*It shows requirements in a way that clients / customers / management can understand.

*You can iterate the model and not lose track of where the model was before

*Shows exactly how you got from point A to point B

*It's a standard, so anyone who knows UML will be able to interpret your diagrams

*The "quickest" way to share ideas without needing to go through the entire code-base

A: No, save your time and don't learn it. If you are a coder and work alone and are a very careful person, you can completely ignore UML.
But, if you work with other people and want to share the result of your work, UML is a Unified language, a lingua franca that even non technical customers understand (at a certain level).

A: Yes and no.
Yes, learn the basics. Have a quick look at at the different diagram types etc. and have a general idea. That will help you eliminate your hesitance when someone boasts about UML.
No, if your work doesn't require to work with UML, you don't necessarily need to know UML to write good applications. If you need to discuss something on a white board just draw a few circles. That'll do.
It only helped me to produce documentation to management to impress them a little. Other than that I only find the deployment diagrams somewhat useful, that's all.

A: If you look at UML as a merely graphical language you consider just a very small part of it. You should instead look at UML as the primary language of the Model Driven Architecture framework which is very well implemented in Eclipse.
In Eclipse UML is (correctly) considered as a Platform Independent language with a solid syntax defined by the MOF (ECORE in Eclipse) and semantics defined by the UML specification (http://www.omg.org/spec/UML).
In Eclipse there are good implementation of the two main languages defined by the OMG for Model To Text and Model to Model transformation specifications which are respectively MOFM2T (ACCELEO in Eclipse) and QVT.
Also Eclipse provides an implementation of the Object Constraint Language (OCL) which is used by both QVT and MOFM2T to evaluate queries on models.
All this means you can easily define your own Model to Text and Model to Model transformations , in the form of Eclipse plugin, turning your UML models into whatever you need.
Now I use that to automatically generate thousands of LOC, documentation and tests with an impressive return on investment.
However I know the majority of people doesn't even know UML is a language but think it is just about tiny pictures.
Look at this links for some simple example
http://lowcoupling.com/post/46522537374/the-model-driven-architecture
http://lowcoupling.com/post/47800863669/qvt-in-place-transformations
http://lowcoupling.com/post/47347056110/models-to-text-transformations-with-mofm2t-and-acceleo

A: I think it's a question of scale in two dimensions: size of problem and size of team.
When a design gets to a certain size diagrams become useful in two ways: first, they help you reason about design issues. second they help you communciate the design to other poeople.
So if the team is say 20 or 30 it really does help to have some clear documentation of pieces of the overall design.
Personally I use UML maybe four or five times a year, but when I need it, I really need it. It really is better to ase a standard diagramming technique that devise your own. And with good tools it's pretty painless.
I would say that I use only a small subset of  UML, class diagrams and occasional collaboration diagrams.

Tori koro (a Japanese translation of the phrase tri colour, namely the French national flag) follows the lives of Yae Nanasae, her widowed mother Sachie, and Makishi & Tatami, two girls who have moved in with them and who also attend the same high school as Yae.
What may surprise some people is the fact that, contrary to standard manga released in the west, Tori Koro is done in the "4-koma" style (4 panels, each read from top to bottom, which is standard for Japanese newspaper comic strips - fans of Azumanga Daioh might recognise and be used to this style). Although his format might not look it, Hai Ran (the author of this series) manages to convey more emotion and humour using just these four panels than most people of his trade would achieve in two or three pages.
And it's the style of this series (which is published by Drmaster and currently into its second volume in the west) which may either entertain or put off prospective readers. Owing more than a passing influence from Azumanga Daioh, the series takes a somewhat…sideways approach to life – from emptying the contents of a rather dubious container, to mother Sachie's surprising gaming talents to the girls becoming the reluctant owners of a stray pigeon in volume 2
And even the characters bare more than a passing resemblance – with the level-headed Makishi and energetic Tatami bearing a resemblance to a less frenetic Tomo and Yomi. Even Yae has her own Kaorin, in the, albeit, more forward character of Keiko.
So is this just a copy of Azumanga Daioh?
Well yes and no….
If anything Tori koro takes the concepts of Chiyo, Tomo and Yomi, and looks at them from a totally different, and indeed more realistic slant – with Tatami and Makishi sometimes swapping the roles of straight man – funny man, and even Yae and Sachie getting in on a few gags!
So in summery if you miss Azumanga Daioh, or maybe you want a change from panty jokes and double entendre, then this is definitely the series for you.
The worthy successor for Azumanga Daioh and at the same time a great read in its own right.


Photos and operating systems seem to be the hot ticket on this week's MUG Event Calendar.
Jason Snell will talk about Apple's new Photos app at an Illinois group, while expert photographer Judy Morse and Photoshop instructor Lesa Snider will team to talk digital photography at a Virginia group.
El Capitan, the latest version of the Mac OS, will be the scheduled main topic in Australia, Colorado, Ohio and California, with iOS a close second at two other groups.


A definitive debunking of the Russian hacking myth, courtesy of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), whose combined expertise includes William Binney and Ray McGovern.
I read on a major uk newspaper's website that murray actually claimed he met in person in some park in the US to collect the email data personally…before passing it on to wikileaks. So that's another odd twist in this story where what presumably happened, based on the info readily available, is being totally ignored. This has to go down as a real low even by US standards as its national reputation spirals down into a bigger hole than was initially dug!
Interesting analysis. The question I would love to have answered, though, is this: Who leaked the emails, and much more importantly, WHY did they leak them? If we could answer this question it would shed a powerful light on a lot of the inner workings of the US ruling class. The individual who leaked the documents could conceivably be a Russian agent, a Republican Party operative, or simply a devious case of collusion between the two parties (factions) of the one-party capitalist state to get the result they all agreed to beforehand.
Thanks. Don't think we're likely to find out the answer to that one unless Assange betrays his source – he says that the person is definitely not Russian (as does Craig Murray) and so I think it is fair to presume that they are not in any way associated with Russia and certainly not an agent.
The individual in question need not be Russian in order to be a Russian agent; in most cases they would be a citizen of the target country. That said, I am far from convinced that the Russians are behind this, but I don't see why they shouldn't intervene in American elections if it were in their strategic interests to do so. It's okay with me. I'm a US citizen and I didn't care who won, but I was surprised when Trump got the job.
In appointing Trump their new administrator the US ruling class, or its currently dominant faction, has decided to go with a temporary rapprochement with Russia in order to turn its attention toward China and Iran. I hope that Russia doesn't take the bait and break its alliance with China.

Do you use flats to reduce vignetting with the 80ED?
Thank you. No flats or darks were used.
Located on the preceding side, NGC 2207 is the brighter and larger of two interacting galaxies with a 1.5' x 1' halo elongated ENE-WSW and containing a bright core. IC 2163, near NGC 2207's eastern edge, is a fairly noticeable but small nodule, oval-shaped ESE-WNW.

I am getting back in after months of lousy observing weather.
I scanned through the recent images and was really impressed with what you guys have been doing. On one extreme we have Saguaro with a 14" f2. What a treat! So many spectacular shots (M78 and lil Rosette, wow). And at the other extreme we have the guys with small refractors proving that you don't need large aperture to get some really nice shots. And some of the first attempts look like they have been doing doing it forever.
While you were all having fun, I took advantage of the weather to upgrade my monstrosity to be remotely controllable using a home built OnStep controller. The mount and focusers are now ASCOM compatible via either USB or wireless link. And I built a warm room so I don't have to fight the bugs and weather.
My shots will be from another extreme, 16in aperture and 2000mm focal length (f5). Not much good for the wide angle shots, but great for getting detail.
We had a break in the weather last week and I had a chance to see what it can do. My upcoming images were all taken with a 16in Sky Watcher Newt on an updated 1960s mount, unmodified Canon t4i, GSO coma corrector, no filters and dark skies. All images were processed on the fly with AT/DSS and saved as viewed. All have either been cropped or resized for the forum. Click on the images for other details and to expand.

After much hemming and hawing, I managed to get myself together and brave the cold New England winter and set up my equipment to gather a few DSO's. The outside temp was near 20 degrees F, +/- 3 degrees. Clear skies with a 1st quarter moon, minor clouds drifting to the south.
To get an idea of what was captured and the details, just mouse over each pic.
My equipment was: Nexstar C8, ZEQ25 mount, ASI294MC camera, Laptop running SharpCap 3.2. Processing was done on the fly. I cropped the images and converted to JPEG.

Users of the CN mobile version would appreciate you listing the target names of these objects. Thanks (and well done with the cold weather conditions) Stargazer3236!
Although I have the Nexstar 8SE telescope, I may upgrade to the 9.25 sometime this year or the Meade 10" LX200 ACF OTA.
This month's LVAS observers challenge object.

On Jan 11th I brought my EAA set up to my astronomy club's club house and set it up for remote access as a test for future sessions. The connection worked and a couple of interested members and I sat in the warm club house and hunted down the LVAS challenge object of the month. In the fray I ended up applying the wrong dark frame so there was a bit of amp glow and some hot pixels.
we were able to see the beautiful color and lobed nature of the inner shell of gas, but we weren't able to tease out the fainter larger outer shell.
After that I tried to show them a couple galaxies on the other side of the meridian, but the grease in my mount got so cold that my motors lost steps and the mount lost alignment. (I still have some tuning to do.) That ended the EAA session and we went outside to join the visual observers.
I got to compare the view of ngc1514 in a 16" dob. The bright central star and inner shell were clearly visible. There were hints of splotchyness, especially the darker hole to the south. I couldn't resolve the apparent double.
It was a fun night, I hope to do another EAA session for the members again. I think with the cold weather the turn out might be good.

My question is how do you get SharpCap to be black? When I choose night colors, it's red, and and it dims the image at the same time. How you doing that?
