I was recently introduced to TripIt, a "next generation" travel site which has really impressed me in my first day as a user. It replaces Dopplr (which I have used for approximately four months now) as my favorite startup travel destination on the web for two major reasons: its superior input methodology and the practical usefulness of the site's main service: itinerary aggregation.
While these sites are clearly competitors, I think they might find that if a collaboration agreement could be reached, the sum would be greater than the parts.
If you were to ask me what Dopplr's primary purpose was – its raison d'être – I would say creating community around travel, particularly for frequent travelers. It notifies me when I will be in the same place as one of my friends (still hasn't happened to date, but I like the idea) so that we might meet up and grab dinner or a drink, or perhaps to share travel plans and tips. It also allows users to share their ideas and expertise about the places the visit frequently with other users online. In other words, it is a site that's all about community. Unfortunately, there isn't much of one yet. Until it has gained the faithful participation of more of my friends and acquaintances (which it has certainly been doing in the last few months), it just isn't very useful to me.
TripIt, on the other hand, has a pretty compelling service from the get-go. It offers to aggregate the disparate elements of my travels into a single master itinerary. In effect, it does all those nice things your assistant would do for you when planning your travel, if you were lucky enough to have one. It allows me to look to a single location for all of my travel details: what flight I am on, what time it leaves, when it arrives, what seat I am in, what hotel I am staying at (at what address, with what phone number), and which rental car company I will be using to get there. It even provides a few handy "value-adds" such as weather forecasts for the locations I will be in each day, and quick access to city maps.
In January, TripIt added some social functionality and is attempting to build a community element which appears similar to Dopplr. Nevertheless, it's community appears to be even thinner than Dopplr's, and has a long way to catch up.
Whereas Dopplr offers a fairly easy and intuitive method of inputting travel locations and dates, TripIt introduces an input methodology that is truly groundbreaking (in my experience, at least). Instead of requiring any real effort on my part, all I have to do is forward them my confirmation emails (from United, Hertz, and Sheraton, for instance) and it parses the information to identify all the pertinent details. It loads this detail into my calendar instantly and automatically, even capturing things like my frequent flyer numbers.
Once in my Google Calendar, my travel plans (and location) would be easily shared with friends and colleagues. Even better, once they join the TripIt community, we can even build collaborative itineraries (such as a business trip with several colleagues making arrangements for the group individually).
In summary, TripIt has quickly won me over on its practicality and simplicity. Where it still falls far short of Dopplr, however, is on the community element. Dopplr's Facebook application and blog widget (which I use here as well as at mitchellwfox.com) allow me to quickly and easily allow others to track my location. The potential value of discovering that a friend's travels will overlap with my own is strong enough to convince me to continue updating my itineraries there in the meantime. If, however, TripIt's itinerary aggregation and input could be joined with the powerful potential of community I see in Dopplr's model, it would be a match made in frequent-flyer heaver.
It will be interesting to see how the TripIt business model develops. In my initial usage of the site, I didn't see any obvious indicators of what their eventual business model would be. Following in the steps of the likes of TripAdvisor by adding advertising and the ability to book trips would seem a logical course of action. One interesting suggestion made by another blogger was to enable travelers to re-book previous itineraries through a simple interface asking for the dates of the repeat booking, which could then be executed through a partner, such as Expedia or Kayak. Given the convenience this would provide the user, you might be able to extract a small booking fee.
It is an exciting time in the development of online travel tools – I wonder what's next.


Refusing to Participate in the Recession.
Episode 70: Refusing to Participate in the Recession: Dave Ramsey and the Great Recovery; July 26, 2011.
Dave Ramsey has initiated what he is calling the Great Recovery. It's not about promoting Dave or his company. It's not about promoting us as financial counselors. It's about teaching God's people to manage money God's way and changing the economy, one family at a time. Today Kevin Suddick and I weigh in with our thoughts about the Great Recovery, Dave Ramsey, and changing the economy.
Too many of us are still waiting for the government to fix the economy. It's been several years since the housing bubble burst in 2008 and the stock market crashed. The only thing the government has managed to do about the economy is blame the other political party for the recession.
We can't support businesses if we're worried about the future. Being confident in your future starts with getting out of debt and freeing up cash flow to live with confidence. It also means having an emergency fund in place to handle emergencies when they happen, rather than waiting for the government to help you out.
When you surround yourself with negativity, you become a negative person. Stop listening to the media about how bad the economy is. Yes, the stock market crashed. Three years ago. In case you haven't heard, the Dow is back to roughly 85% of its pre-crash level. So the people you keep hearing about that lost all that money in the stock market are the ones who were dumb enough to jump off the roller coaster in the middle of the ride. Those who are still on the ride are halfway up the next hill.
The only person responsible for fixing your situation is you. It's time we stopped whining about our situations and started doing something about it.
Dave Ramsey is calling on churches to start teaching how to manage money God's way. The amazing thing about doing things His way is that it works! Imagine a community of people making smart decisions with their money, confident in their future, and living a life of purpose by serving others. Broke people can't help others. Let's teach the broke people how to not be broke so they can help others by paying it forward!
Join the Great Recovery and make a difference in your community!

LSE IQ is a monthly podcast from the London School of Economics and Political Science in which we ask some of the smartest social scientists - and other experts - to answer intelligent questions about economics, politics or society. #LSEIQ.
Contributor(s): Professor Hiroko Akiyama, Kath Scanlon, Dr Thijs Van Den Broek, Professor Alan Walker | Welcome to LSE IQ, a podcast from the London School of Economics and Political Science, where we ask leading social scientists - and other experts - to answer an intelligent question about economics, politics or society. We are all getting older. Not just as individuals, but as societies – particularly in the developed world but middle income and developing countries are following on quickly behind us. In 1950 there were 14 million people over the age of 80 globally. In 2080 that number is expected to be 700 million. In Britain, a child born today will live for more than 90 years and more than 30 per cent will reach a hundred. Indeed, Michael Murphy, professor of demography at LSE, has said that perhaps the greatest achievement of humanity over the last century is the doubling of the amount of years a child could expect to live from birth. Given the extended lifespans many of us will live, in this episode of LSE IQ Sue Windebank asks, 'How can we age better?'. This episode features: Professor Hiroko Akiyama, University of Tokyo; Kath Scanlon, LSE London; Dr Thijs Van Den Broek, Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management; and Professor Alan Walker University of Sheffield.

Arliston reveal stop-motion video for 'Loud'
News June 2, 2019 New MusicNew Video
NewsNew Music
Arliston have revealed a stop-motion animated video for their new self-produced track 'Loud'. The style has been described by The 405 as "Ray Harryhausen meets Robot Chicken" who also said "the mixture of serene landscapes and stop-motion monsters is tons of fun and demonstrates the trio's charismatic charm."
The idea of feeling guilty for not being "loud" was in mind when writing the new track, Ratcliffe reveals, "lyrically, the song is about that tinge of regret that any introvert worth their salt will feel from time to time. "Looking back, I could have been bolder, looking back I guess I could have been loud". Thinking of a thousand moments where you should have said something, but didn't."
Arliston first began writing in a windowless basement underneath a main road in early 2017, with only the muffled screeching of Whitechapel traffic to soundtrack their creativity. This, combined with working with producer and engineer Chris Blakey (Death In Vegas, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), "definitely made us look at the music differently", front-man Jack Ratcliffe explains, "as a retreat from the rushing traffic, rather than an expression of some perfect rural setting".
"Loud" is the first new music from the band since their EP "Hawser" that was released in October 2018. The EP was mastered by Anthony Lim (Kero Kero Bonito, Akala) and was praised by Lim saying, "Jack Ratcliffe et al conjure up the moment right after a major break-up, accompanied by a soothing inner voice telling you 'it's for the best', whilst at the same time dousing you in a fine mist of some unknown narcotic – melancholic, mystical and moreish."
Influences ranging from the indie-glitches of Bon Iver, Four Tet, and The National, to creatives like Ben Khan, Nao, Frank Ocean and Vicktor Taiwo have inspired the band.
"Loud" retains elements of their earlier sensitivity and lyrical depth, but feels like a huge leap forward and a profound statement of intent from the trio. Ratcliffe explains, "We were really experimenting with howfar we could push the envelope in terms of grit and ferocity, while retaining the ambient side of our sound that was so dominant in the Hawser EP (2018)."
Watch the video for previous single 'Politics' below:
Spotify editorial playlisting, loyal local supporters, work with established producers, and plays across the BBC have all primed Arliston for a very bright 2019.
Arliston consists of George Hasbury (Keys, Guitar, Bass & Backing Vocals), Jordi Bosch (Drums, Synth & Backing Vocals) and Jack Ratcliffe (Guitar & Lead Vocals).

Get noticed as an artist, increase bookings, and make more money! This series explores key PR groundwork and strategies for D-I-Y marketing and communications.
DISCLOSURE: This piece is tailored for breakout classical musicians earning over $100,000/year through their art, but the principles can be applied to most artists at different career levels. Traditional press coverage has become rare, highly prized, and very expensive. To cut through the extraneous information sent to journalists, artists need to hire PR experts to land them coverage. However, even then, it doesn't guarantee press placement.


Emma Lanman from Crouch End has recently launched Van Girls with the aim of giving customers a unique friendly, customer oriented 'van & woman' service.
As the business is establishing itself, Emma, 28, runs it from her Uplands Road home alongside a job in the emergency services.
In fact it was experiences in her job that first gave Emma the idea for the business. "I realised from what I was hearing first-hand and from colleagues in simillar jobs that people react very positively when a female turns up to help".
The branding for Van Girls is intentionally quite retro in feel, with a reassuringly familiar logo and liberal use of pictures of wartime Land Girls. "We want to provide a service that's honest, dependable and friendly. So we've chosen an image to try and convey that.", Emma told Harringay Online. "The thing I was most worried about was that people would think girls wouldn't be capable of doing what till now has been regarded as a 'man's job'. The Land Army showed decades ago that women have always been capable of doing the same jobs as men".
So Emma gathered together a women only team. At the moment all tend to have occupations that give them the flexibility to work at the hours customers need them. The group includes students, freelance journalists, hospitality workers and so on.
Right now Emma's focusing on work north of the river (though she's happy enough to take jobs wherever she can) and most of her business is coming from word of mouth. I have a sneaking feeling that people may rather like what's unique about Van Girls and she and her team might get busy once the word is out.
In the meantime, when she's not working, Emma still has time to play rugby on Hampstead Heath for the Hampstead Ladies Rugby Club. "Actually it's been a great recruiting ground for Van Girls!", Emma reflected.
Not the first. For years Lesbus trucked our stuff about. It started as women-only but is now reincarnated as Shirley's, which also has optional specially-chosen grunt-free chaps. I've used Shirley's several times and the best thing is that they are CALM - an essential quality at what is often a stressful time.
I think they mostly do removals, so a woman-with-van service will be handy for when I finally get that sofa sorted out.
Yes! I saw Shirley's in my research and was impressed. I don't see us as competitors at all as we're providing different services and the more the merrier I say!
Another handy link from browsing from there - Home Jane. "A 60 strong team of lady carpenters, decorators, electricians, plumbers and general handywomen working across London and the Home Counties." £40 an hour, no call-out charge for most trades. One to bookmark.
We just moved into the area and used Van Girls for our move. They were absolutely fantastic and it made for the lowest stress move of our lives. Have now unpacked and not a single breakage. And they were good fun on the day too. Could not recommend highly enough.
Hi Emma, do you collect rubbish following renovations on a house.

Q: How to grant access subdomain/folder exclusively one IP? I am curious how to grant traffic from only one IP (public ip) access to one folder on a subdomain?
So for example:
I have a public IP form my DSL provider (home use) and only fromout my house I can access subdomain.example.com/test/index.html and subdomain.example.com/test/info/info.html
i have heard from a .htaccess file but in which directory do I have to place this file and what should be IN it?
Thanks in advance

A: welcome to stackoverflow.com  I would suggest you put your .htaccess file in subdomain.example.com/test/ and add the following code to your .htaccess file
.htaccess
<LIMIT GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from  192.168.0.18
</LIMIT>

make sure you change 192.168.0.18, to the ip address you want to allow access too.  I tested this with my own server, chrisrjones.com/test/test.html And I'm only able to access this page from my WAN IP not my cell phone.
Also this -> is a good read,

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil, add quinoa. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the warm quinoa, spinach and cranberries. For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in onion. Pour over quinoa mixture (I think the recipe makes too much, so use the dressing sparingly at first); toss to coat. Sprinkle with pecans.

News Bulletin - March 20, 2019
03/20/2019	, David K. Bernard
Strategic Growth Initiative
The General Board is moving forward with the Strategic Growth Initiative. Each district is developing plans for growth, and to date, 40 districts have submitted their plans. The chair of the Strategic Growth Committee is Jack Cunningham, and the secretary is Ken Gurley. At the recent General Board meeting, the committee presented a template for district plans to address four areas:
New Ministers
New Works (preaching points, daughter works, churches)
Helping Local Church to Grow
Helping At-Risk Churches (closing the back door)
In addition, the committee recommended several district strategies: (1) Day of Pentecost rallies in 2020 to establish new works. (2) Emphasis on ministerial ethics. (3) Outreach to independent churches and former UPCI churches who maintain Apostolic identity. If such churches remain isolated, they are at high risk of losing Apostolic identity over time especially during pastoral transitions, but if they can become connected they can increase our base for world missions.
During the General Board meeting, the Holy Spirit moved in a special way during a time of spontaneous prayer and worship. The Lord confirmed His Word to us through Revelation 3:8: "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."
Strategies for Growth
The Strategic Growth Committee recommended that we provide a digital booklet to all ministers and especially district leaders titled Strategies for Growth. It contains the following chapters:
Leading Districts and Ministries
Growing a District 1: Making the Case for Growth
Growing a District 2: Developing a Culture of Growth
Ministerial Ethics and Transfer of Members
Growing a Church
Attracting, Winning, and Retaining People
This booklet is available as a PDF file at https://www.upci.org/file/121/Strategies_for_Growth_2019.pdf.
Spanish Evangelism Ministries
The complete ministerial reading curriculum for each level of credentials is now available in Spanish at MinistryCentral.com. It includes 10 books at each of the three levels with two hours of instruction for each topic, for a total of 60 hours. We now have several Spanish-speaking employees at World Headquarters. They can assist with ministerial credentials, book orders, and other needs.
Victory Reports
Global Missions. The I Am Global offerings at General Conference and Because of the Times enabled us to shorten the travel of 16 deputizing missionary families on the 2018 I Am Global list, sending them back to their fields. Deputational travel is now an average of 6.6 months instead of one to two years. For the first time, no missionary accounts are in deficit.
North American Missions. The General Conference offering of $1 million enabled us to send three new metro missionary families to their fields and possibly a fourth this summer. The Christmas For Christ offering has experienced seven years of annual growth. This year it increased by $448,000 to a record $4.82 million. A total of 65 couples participated in the recent weeklong Launch training for church planters.
Youth Ministries. To date, 34,500 have registered for North American Youth Congress, July 31-August 2, St. Louis.
Children's Ministries. To date, 213 have received the Holy Ghost in Save Our Children Rallies and Junior Bible Quizzing Extravaganzas, and 350 teachers have been trained in Central America.
Ministers Retirement Fund. This fund now has over $80 million with participation of World Headquarters employees, Global Missionaries, Tupelo Children's Mansion, Urshan College, Urshan Graduate School of Theology, and 571 churches. These funds are not held by the UPCI but are overseen by the MRF Board with assistance from an investment firm and a third-party administrator. For information go to mrfupci.org or call 855-673-8724 (MRF-UPCI) to speak to a representative who works exclusively with the UPCI.
The UPCI Loan Fund now exceeds $50 million and has helped about 160 churches to acquire and expand buildings.
Center for Apostolic Counseling. The Office of Education and Endorsement and the General Board are recommending this new ministry for endorsement by the General Conference.
Apostolic Chamber of Commerce. The Office of Education and Endorsement and the General Board are recommending this new ministry for endorsement by the General Conference.
District Constitution. As part of the ongoing, multiyear effort to update the UPCI Manual, the General Board has approved a revised District Constitution to present to the General Conference.
Diversity Training. Multicultural Ministries is developing a curriculum for districts and churches.

I can be summed up in one word: Me. There is no other Me in the entire Cosmos. My physical appearance is the manifestation of my mind, my heart, my spirit - with a few scrapes and bruises from experience. If you should run into someone who looks exactly like Me, make sure you ask to see some ID. I would like to be notified if you suspect that someone has been impersonating Me. Once a strange woman walked up to Me in Walmart and said, "Hi Bunny." I said, "I'm not Bunny." She said, "Are you sure? You look exactly like Her." I said, "I can prove I'm not Bunny. I'm Me, not Her. The next time you see this Bunny person, walk up to Her and say 'Hi Leo.' If she says 'I'm not Leo' you should then ask Her " Are you sure, because you look exactly like Her?" If she then says "I am not Her, I am Me" my suspicions will be confirmed. I will have solid proof that Bunny has been impersonating Me. Maybe you could wear a wire. I would really appreciate your help in this matter and I'd be willing to pay you in catnip.

"... As is well-known, my authorship has two parts: one pseudonymous and the other signed. The pseudonymous writers are poetic creations, poetically maintained so that everything they say is in character with their poetized individualized personalities; sometimes I have carefully explained in a signed preface my own interpretation of what the pseudonym said. Anyone with just a fragment of common sense will perceive that it would be ludicrously confusing to attribute to me everything the poetized characters say.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, I have expressly urged that anyone who quotes something from the pseudonyms will not attribute the quotation to me (see my postscript to Concluding Postscript). It is easy to see that anyone wanting to have a literary lark merely needs to take some verbatim quotations from "The Seducer," then from Johannes Climacus, then from me, etc., print them together as if they were all my words, show how they contradict each other, and create a very chaotic impression, as if the author were a kind of lunatic.
Hurrah! That can be done. In my opinion anyone who exploits the poetic in me by quoting the writings in a confusing way is more or less a charlatan or a literary toper."

Il Gran Premio d'Olanda fu il quarto appuntamento del motomondiale 1966.

Si svolse sabato 25 giugno 1966 sul circuito di Assen. Erano in programma tutte le classi.

Dominio Honda: la Casa dell'Ala d'Oro vinse quattro delle sei gare in programma (50 con Luigi Taveri, 250 e 350 con Mike Hailwood e 500 con Jim Redman). Nelle restanti gare, vinse Bill Ivy (Yamaha 125) e Fritz Scheidegger (BMW sidecar).

Nella gara della "mezzo litro" Giacomo Agostini portò al debutto la MV 500 tre cilindri. Altro debutto nella 50, dove fece il suo esordio la Bridgestone: l'azienda produttrice di pneumatici (e all'epoca anche di motocicli) si schierò con una bicilindrica due tempi.

La gara dei sidecar fu funestata dalla morte del britannico Norman Huntingford.

The Cité de la Musique is a large performing arts complex that will occupy the north side of the Place des Nations, at the heart of the international quarter. The building will include the following facilities:
A 1750-seat symphony hall with capacity for a full philharmonic orchestra and large choirs
Two smaller concert halls, including a 550-seat performance space for the Haute école de musique – HEM Genève (Geneva Conservatory of Music) and a "black box" dedicated to experimental music
Classrooms and facilities for the 500 students and teachers of HEM Genève
A library and media centre open to students, musicians and the general public
A cafeteria and two rooftop restaurants with views of the city and the Alps
The Cité de la Musique will also host the offices of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR) and the HEM Genève.
In 2017, following an international architecture competition which attracted 17 submissions, the Fondation pour la Cité de la Musique de Genève (FCMG) awarded the commission to Pierre-Alain Dupraz and Gonçalos Byrne, two architects based in Geneva and Lisbon respectively. The project is privately financed, with most of the funding coming from a single individual donor.

Crime Syndicate of America: The Forgotten Earth, Epilogue: Nonexistence
by Libbylawrence
Deep within the Fortress of Science created by her brother, Lena Luthor sat across from the green-hued artificial humanoid named Brainiac. He spoke in a cold, metallic echo, yet his eyes held a warmth that was almost human.
Lena, who wore a pink skirt and a white blouse with a pink bow in her long blonde hair, was a sensitive person who could receive mental flashes that foretold the future in a vague, dreamlike way. She now received a good feeling emanating from the creation of her brilliant brother.
"Why did you want me to teach you about being human?" she asked the android. "Alex is much smarter, and Lois has lived a more experienced life going back to her Daily Planet reporting days."
"You are much prettier than either of them. I like you," he said simply.
She smiled and said, "I think you may be more human than you imagine. First things first: You need a normal name, not just Brainiac. How about John?"
"John Smith," he said. "I like that as a human name. It seems very average, and that is something one such as myself craves: to fit in, to belong."
"Do you think Alex's plan will work?" she asked. "Can the Crime Syndicate be trusted to defeat the Lawless League?"
"I calculate that they have the raw power to do so," the android replied, "but they may be defeated by unknown factors — x-factors that defy even my probability determinants. However, I will promise to do my best to aid Alexander in finding a way to keep this world and you safe from them all."
Lena kissed him on the cheek, and the artificial man felt oddly moved by her contact.
Perhaps this is what emotions are like, he mused inwardly. I feel a need to be with Lena and protect her. That in itself would seem to be beyond my capabilities. Speculation: My self-repair function may be improving me with regularity and thus enhancing my every ability until I become almost human.
Meanwhile, Alexander Luthor was trying to raise a signal from the Crime Syndicate of America. No one replied. He had secretly bathed them before first placing them within their prison bubble with an odorless, colorless spray that would show up on his scanners and thus allow him to keep track of them should they escape. Now he wondered if they had merely triumphed or had even died. Loss of life would perhaps interfere with his tracking, as some human pheromones were altered by loss of life.
Little did Luthor realize that, in a manner of speaking, the Crime Syndicate members had ceased to exist.
Days later, a strong, agile middle-aged man wearing a ragged, dirty gray coat made his way through an alleyway in Gotham City and searched through the trash bins there for food. He was dirty and looked dazed or drugged, yet no one challenged him in his wanderings.
Then one day he fell behind an Italian club where the city's Mafia dons dined on expensive food and costly wines. He sat in the half-frozen mud and breathed in slowly.
"Who am I?" he said through clenched teeth, but no memory would come to him. "Who? Who? Think, man — how did you get this low?"
Listening as his keen ears heard a muffled cry, he quickly rounded the corner to see two men in dark suits with their guns drawn. They stood over a fallen figure and dragged a boy toward a waiting limo.
"Hey, you brainless excuses for Homo Erectus," he found himself saying. "Release that child, or I'll hurt you! Be slow about it, and I'll hurt you worse!"
"Look," sneered the heavy mobster, "some old bum wants to be a tough guy!"
"Hey, he's a regular one-man army!" muttered his ally as the bum smashed his nose with a swift punch and kneed him below the belt with one smooth motion. He shoved the mobster in his partner's path and kicked the gun out of his waving hand. A second sudden thrust knocked the heavy man cold.
The kid was about fourteen years old, and he smiled appreciatively at the homeless man. "Wow! That was amazin'! You took down two top enforcers without even breakin' a sweat!"
"What goes on here?" shouted a large fat man in a costly suit who ran out to the boy with two gunmen trailing behind him.
"Ricky, what's the meaning of this?" he asked as the limo sped off. "I see the Maroni gang's top men spread out next to your guard. Did they try to grab you?"
"Yeah," said Ricky. "But, Pop — this guy came out of nowhere and saved me."
"I did my part, nothing more," said the bum. "I could not let the child be harmed by those thugs. I don't hurt children. That one rule I know, though I am at a loss about much else."
The fat mob boss turned to his son and the bum. "You're now under my protection, for I am greatly indebted to you. Come with Ricky and me, and we'll feed and clean you up. What's your name?"
The skillful fighting bum nodded with appreciation, but confessed with a shrug, "I… I don't know. I can't remember."
"Well, you got lucky today, pal," said the boy's father. "You saved my boy, and that means you are in good with me. Boss Zucco takes care of his friends."
The former Owlman smiled strangely, still unaware of his own identity.

Structural Change and Convergence of Energy Intensity across OECD Countries, 1970-2005
Peter Mulder
() (VU University Amsterdam)
Henri L.F. de Groot
This paper uses a new dataset derived from a consistent framework of national accounts to compute and evaluate energy intensity developments across 18 OECD countries and 50 sectors over the period 1970-2005. We find that across countries energy intensity levels tend to increase in a fairly wide range of Services subsectors, but decrease in most Manufacturing sectors. A decomposition analysis reveals that changes in the sectoral composition of the economy explain a considerable and increasing part of aggregate energy intensity dynamics. A convergence analysis reveals that only after 1995 cross-country variation in aggregate energy intensity levels clearly tends to decrease, driven by a strong and robust trend break in Manufacturing and enhanced convergence in Services. Moreover, we find evidence for the hypothesis that across sectors lagging countries are catching-up with leading countries, with rates of convergence on average being higher in Services than in Manufacturing. Aggregate convergence patterns are almost exclusively caused by convergence of within-sector energy intensity levels, and not by convergence of the sectoral composition of economies. This discussion paper led to a publication in Energy Economics .

Northport mom shines light on different abilities with uplifting new children's book
People by: Joanne Kountourakis, November 30, 2022
Local mom and author Valerie Goldstein. Photo courtesy Valerie Goldstein.
I first met Valerie Goldstein at Northport Nursery School; for years our children shared classrooms and teachers on the school's little campus. Because of this, I ran into Valerie often and was always moved by her sweet demeanor, her ever-present smile, her ability to mindfully engage in just a few short minutes (time is precious when your kids are in half-day preschool).
Valerie was rarely without her forearm crutches, but her disability never defined her. She was a fellow mom, a kind soul lugging her kids to nursery school three to five days a week. She was a piece of calm in a chaotic morning.
I spoke with Valerie earlier this month about her trajectory from a disabled mom of three motivated by the sweet questions and curiosities of the nursery school children, to a disability advocate and children's book author steadily educating readers about people with different abilities. Her book, Violet's Victory, officially launched on November 1.
"Somewhat autobiographical"
When Valerie was 17 years old, she was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident; her neck broke in three places but her spinal cord was spared. Once the captain of her cross country and track team, Valerie found herself an incomplete quadriplegic.
Physical therapy helped Valerie walk again, with the help of forearm crutches. After attending Stony Brook University for her undergraduate and master's degree, she found solace in writing, her primary audience in the beginning being adults. Valerie has written various works on different abilities and, after having children of her own, began writing about parenting.
Something kept calling her back to sports though, anything to get her heart rate up and her energy out, she said. "When I discovered the handcycle, I realized that my disability didn't [have to] stop me from competing," she said. "Putting myself back in the world of competitive sports just felt exhilarating."
In Violet's Victory, the main character – a lavender-haired girl who uses forearm crutches – contemplates her ability to participate in her school's upcoming "sports day." Violet dreams of keeping up with her friends in a track and field race. She then discovers a purple handcycle. Like Valerie in real life, Violet trains diligently to acclimate to this new and exciting activity.
Through her positive, uplifting and "somewhat autobiographical" story, Valerie hopes to showcase children with disabilities, along with their adaptive equipment – something she feels is lacking in other picture books. "I hope that children with different abilities can relate to Violet and be inspired and empowered to know that they can do anything they put their mind to," Valerie said. The book exemplifies perseverance, and demonstrates the kindness involved in accommodating those with different needs.
The relatability of being different
A published writer already, Valerie said having kids gave her "an excuse" to pursue a different genre: children's books. Having kids also put Valerie in the perfect setting to be inspired. While at Northport Nursery School, Valerie often found herself surrounded by curious children. "All the little kids were coming up to me," she said. "I feel like that was the first experience with a lot of kids seeing me at once. And they would ask me tons of questions like 'Why do you use crutches? What happened? What do they do for you?'"
Valerie took the questions as an opportunity to host presentations on disabilities and different abilities at her kids' schools. The students she spoke with were so sweet, Valerie said, and embraced the open dialogue from the beginning.
"They had their own stories to tell," she said. "They might have kept it inside because no one brought up the conversations, so they were eager to talk about their own experiences and have a conversation that maybe they never had before."
The children spoke about a sibling with a brace, or a grandparent with a walker or wheelchair. Some found ways to relate to a friend with a hearing aid, or other disabilities.
The conversations allowed for Valerie to share messages of relatability, for both students with and without disabilities, and forge an understanding that while they may be a little different on the outside, there were so many more things they had in common.
It had to be written…
While presenting to the school children, Valerie would bring wheelchairs and crutches she made for dolls to use as examples of adaptive equipment. She also read one of the few children's books she could find that incorporated a child with a disability but in some ways, she said, the book was negative, focusing on things the disabled character couldn't do. Valerie would often have to skip over pages when reading the book to her young audiences.
"It wasn't putting disabilities in a positive light," she said.
Cue Valerie's aha moment.
It would take a few years and a pandemic to turn Valerie's idea – to publish a children's book about disabilities, with a female main character participating in a sporting event – into reality. She fleshed out ideas she had written down pre-Covid into a project she dedicated herself to when school shut down, while homeschooling her three kids, Gus, Luca and Aurora.
It took Valerie six months to complete the book before sending it out to publishers.
She has since gone on tour with Violet's Victory, attending numerous book readings, and festivals, including in Chappaqua, one of the largest children's book festivals in the United States. "It was a dream come true," Valerie said of the family trip upstate.
After a pre-launch blitz of promotions and pre-sales, Valerie said things are somewhat slowing down, at least in terms of the book. She is also participating in a fellowship at Stony Brook University and is considering a future book project, focusing on disabilities, for older children.
Valerie is grateful to be on what she calls her dream path. "I've always wanted to do this," she said. "I'm hoping that what I've written, whether adults read it or kids read it, that it makes an impact on their lives."
You can purchase Valerie's book on her website or at Barnes and Noble. She'll be at Kidz Course in East Northport from 10-11am on Saturday, December 3 (International Day of Persons with Disabilities) to read her book and give a presentation; register here. You can also follow Valerie on Facebook.

Can a nerdy girl and a broken football hero fall in love and restore their lives with the help of a gateway to the past?
Our new novel, Slipping into the Green, just wasn't getting off the ground. Reviews from readers were halfhearted, comments from review services were depressing. What was wrong?
We had some pretty good concepts we though: time travel, a high school teacher whose lectures let students relive critical moments in history. We had a broken football hero who desperately wanted to return to the past and undo the play that destroyed his career.
We also thought we had a great main character, a Mexican American kid who was the beneficiary of the fallen football hero's legacy and only friend. The kid's goodhearted cheerleader girlfriend was generous and kind to everyone… even the class nerd. So, what was wrong?
Was there too much going on, we wondered—too many characters, no central storyline strong enough to hold people's interest.
We looked at our list of characters, we looked at our story and started peeling away the layers, looking for the story's heart and soul. We needed someone to step up and tie it all together. What could we do?
So, what about that class nerd, we asked ourselves. Well, we knew she was the smartest person in the school, and she had a great rapport with that powerful lecturer. Just to be friendly, our popular cheerleader has already decided to sit at the nerd's lonely table one day… try and make friends with her. Somewhere in the conversation between Emily, the nerd, and Chantelle, the cheerleader, Chantelle asked Emily if she had a boyfriend or had ever been in love with anyone. Emily's answer, in that early version of the story, was vague. But was that right?
Okay, so, how about this? What if Emily had a secret crush on Jake, the broken QB. That could work, but the guy was probably SO messed up that he wouldn't even care about her unless she had something to offer him… something to help solve his problem.
That made more sense. And then we wondered what if Emily was the person who discovered the portal to the past? She goes back through time and sees Jake at the peak of his success. She decides that bringing Jake back to the past and rerunning the play that injured him might allow him to avoid the injury and make his life whole again. In other words, the whole idea of using the past to restore Jake's life was Emily's idea… because she's secretly in love with him.
In rewriting our story, we ended up taking an unimportant character and making her the hero. Our novel became Emily's love story. Can she help Jake, can she win his love?
We liked this approach, and Emily was becoming the central figure. Emily discovers the gateway to the past; Emily brings Jake through it and shows him that there is a way to turn his life around.
As for the lectures on social injustice… we had ideas there too? Jake realizes that he needs help rerunning the play that got him hurt. So, he starts bringing football players from 2019 back with him through the gateway. They arrive in 2011 and try to help Jake. But eventually, they have to return to the present, and when they do, the gateway plays with their minds, makes them start time tripping in the classroom. Each trip spins off a lecture on social injustice and ends up being a visit to a historical event that teaches a lesson appropriate to the character.
Of course, being a well-constructed novel, things never work out easily anyway, and in the end, everything still seems to be falling apart. That's when Emily and Chantelle have an in-person visit with the Salem Witch Trials, where they learn an important lesson – not about witchcraft or religious paranoia, but about having faith and confidence in yourself.
But it's Jake, who, on the verge of giving up on Emily and everything else and withdrawing into a life of bitterness, experiences the most dramatic time trip of them all.
Now we started feeling great about our story; everything was working. We had Emily's love story. We had Jake's possible redemption. We've had a gateway to the past that just might be able to help everyone, and time-tripping experiences that highlight real historical events and teach lessons. Does it work? Find out for yourself.
The book came out on October 1, 2020. Get a copy and learn if a nerdy girl and a broken football hero can fall in love and restore their lives with the help of a gateway to the past. Check it out… THE PROMISE OF THE GATEWAY on Amazon.

Lakme True Wear nail polishes have always been my favorite. Recently I was in search of a party wear shade that can go well with all ethnic outfits. I prefer dark polishes over light ones and when I saw this beautiful berry maroon shade, I instantly ordered it. Today I am going to review Lakme True Wear Nail Polish in Berry Maroon.
Lakme True Wear Nail Polish comes in a sturdy and clear glass bottle with a beige screw top lid. The brush applicator is of fairly good size with good quality bristles. It makes application of the polish quite easy without brushing along the skin.
Berry Maroon is a gorgeous dark berry maroon color with metallic finish. It looks classy and elegant with all my ethnic outfits. It makes my hands look bright and delicate. The consistency of the nail lacquer is pretty good. It is neither very thick nor very runny. It applies smoothly over my nails without streaking. It delivers true and vibrant color in two coats. It dries pretty quickly ready to be finished with a top coat. The polish lasts for about 3-4 days without chipping (I don't do household chores though!). The color does not dull down even after 4 days which actually impressed me a lot. It is easy to remove and does not stain my nails. This shade would look fabulous on all skin tones. It has beautiful glossy finish just like other top nail polish brands and let me tell you it is worth Rs 100 only.
• Metallic finish thus would look great with ethnic outfits.
Lakme True Wear Nail Polish in Berry Maroon is worth every penny. It delivers true color with just two coats and stays on my nails for a good few days without chipping. It is an elegant shade and would complement well with all skin tones. I really would not hesitate in buying other shades and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

A membrane protein fraction showing affinity for ribosomes was isolated from rat liver microsomes (microsomal fractions) in association with ribosomes by treatment of the microsomes with Emulgen 913 and then solubilized from the ribosomes with sodium deoxycholate. This protein fraction was separated into two fractions, glycoproteins, including ribophorins I and II, and non-glycoproteins, virtually free from ribophorins I and II, on concanavalin A-Sepharose columns. The two fractions were each reconstituted into liposomes to determine their ribosome-binding activities. The specific binding activity of the non-glycoprotein fraction was approx. 2.3-fold higher than that of the glycoprotein fraction. The recovery of ribosome-binding capacity of the two fractions was about 85% of the total binding capacity of the material applied to a concanavalin A-Sepharose column, and about 90% of it was found in the non-glycoprotein fraction. The affinity constants of the ribosomes for the reconstituted liposomes were somewhat higher than those for stripped rough microsomes. The mode of ribosome binding to the reconstituted liposomes was very similar to that to the stripped rough microsomes, in its sensitivity to proteolytic enzymes and its strong inhibition by increasing KCl concentration. These results support the idea that ribosome binding to rat liver microsomes is not directly mediated by ribophorins I and II, but that another unidentified membrane protein(s) plays a role in ribosome binding.

A proud moment for Brussels, Françoise Schepmans is candidate for the title of best mayor in the world!
For a small woman, slender in appearance, hers is a personality that lacks neither confidence nor charisma. Françoise Schepmans, mayor of the controversial commune of Molenbeek, ensures the image of her commune, affirms a concrete multiculturalism when others theorize it, and responds with actions to the many challenges that animate her daily life.
This is without a doubt the reason for her nomination for the "World Mayor Prize" created by the City Mayors Foundation, who presents the prize every two years. Among the criteria for receiving the award: competence in managing the day-to-day affairs, acumen of the financial, business and economic affairs of one's commune, honesty and integrity in decision making, and the representation of all the communes citizens.
Françoise Schepmans, Mayor of Molenbeek since 2012 is the only Belgian candidate for the prize among 38 others, representing 24 other countries. She had already won, by popular vote, the prize of "Bruxelloise de l'Année en 2016" for her exemplary management of the commune that made headlines because of its negative image as the point of origin or transit for the terrorist groups responsible for the attacks in Paris in 2015 and Brussels in 2016.
Pragmatic and combative, she has since multiplied the initiatives geared towards the integration of the population of immigrant origin, through culture and education, as well as actions to sensitize vulnerable youth to the dangers of religious radicalization. All this without neglecting the suppressive fight against the terrorist networks or ideologues in the commune.
The awarding of the prize will be coming this June. If she is awarded the prize, the Mayor of Molenbeek would succeed such emblematic figures such as Anne Hidalgo (Mayor of Paris) and Martine Aubry (Mayor of Lille).

Dummy Magazine: Tempa T Interview
Tempa T: "They never seen anything like that on the island."
Grime's hype man has the scene at his feet.
Tempa T is a grime MC who is known for his fire tongue and an impressive high-top fade. The 23-year-old east Londoner was first let loose on the public in 2006, alongside Slew Dem, when he attended legendary grime club night, Straight Outta Bethnal. "I got into spitting when I used to listen to old skool garage and a bit of jungle, rap and R&B," Tempz explains. "I just liked the whole performance that came with it, like, Michael Jackson was a huge inspiration, he entertained people, and that's where the passion to be on the mic began for me." All-round hype man, Tempa T always manages to deliver when it comes to live performances, with his high-energy stage presence. It's all about having fun, as he explains: "I'm a humorous person, quite hilarious at times. I like catching a lot of joke, just my sense of humour – nothing too serious and nothing too violent."
Tempz has worked with artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Skitz Beatz and Plastician, and even caught the attention of Ego 6, a French production outfit, who sent him over to France to work on the track Swing. With the growth of bassline and funky, as well as last year's electro-influenced grime, Tempa T is entering a UK music scene more diverse than his forebears: "I never really caught up with the bassline scene until a friend of mine from the Midlands told me about it, and you know what? I actually like it. I like the way the Birmingham and Manchester man do their thing. The electro thing is kicking off as well – 'safe' to those people who said that grime is just violent, when we have grime acts getting hits in the charts with that sound. It's all UK music at the end of the day."
As perhaps befits a man who got his break in Shoreditch, Tempz is also the toast of the fashion crowd, working with labels like Jean-Charles De Castelbajac, Cassette Playa, Fred Perry, Maharishi, Boxfresh and Nike, to name but a few. His memorable haircut has made him a well-known face in both grime and fashion. "I just wanted to do something different and I went back with the 80s style," he says about his haircut. "When I was out in Ayia Napa, I had everyone saying, 'Big up Fresh Prince. House Party!' You can't really get offended, because they've probably never seen anything like that on the island, but people always comment on it and they seem to like it."
From working on countless film and photography projects with the legendary Tim & Barry, and receiving support from the likes of Logan Sama (Kiss), DJ Cameo (1Xtra) and Tim Westwood (Radio 1/1Xtra), it seems that things are looking bright on the darkside for Tempz. "I've got a lot of things in the pipeline: commercials, modelling, my mixtape and my album are both coming out soon. Expect to see more of me very soon. Tempa T. Slew Dem!"

Expect some flurries today across northern Colorado. Skies stay cloudy most of the day. After a blustery Christmas Day the winds today relax. Northwest winds may gust to 25 mph at times. Highs stay in the upper 20s in Greeley and throughout Weld County. Overnight lows stay bone-chilling in the single digits.
The flurries we're experiencing are from our snowstorm of three days ago. Remember the nearly 10 inches that accumulated at UNC-Greeley? That storm exited Colorado and is now wobbling back in our direction. The storm finally moves far enough east on Sunday to allow sunshine to prevail. Highs tomorrow warm into the low 30s across Weld. Winds tomorrow stay under 20 mph.
Looking ahead, next week looks relatively tranquil. A fast-moving front may hit us on Wednesday with some clouds and light snow. Temperatures stay in the 30s through Wednesday.
