Renew Recovery Providing Opioid Addiction Services to Humana Members in Kentucky
New agreement provides Humana employer plan members with access to Renew Recovery treatment centers in Louisville, Georgetown, and London, Kentucky
Tuesday, December 5, 2017 11:00 am EST
"This is a clear statement of our mutual commitment to helping those in need."
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renew Recovery and health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) have signed a contract that provides in-network access for Humana employer plan members at Renew Recovery facilities in Kentucky.
The agreement provides in-network access to comprehensive addiction treatment services for Humana members who are covered by employer plans. Renew Recovery services are available at three locations in Kentucky – Louisville, Georgetown, and London – and include medication assisted treatment, psychiatric evaluation and management, psychotherapy in individual, group and family formats, and case management at outpatient and intensive outpatient levels of care.
"We are very excited to partner with Humana in our fight to address the Commonwealth's drug addiction epidemic," said Renew Recovery's CEO Dr. Stephen Kronenberg. "This is a clear statement of our mutual commitment to helping those in need."
According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), addiction to opioids – including to prescription pain relievers and heroin – is defined as a primary, chronic, and relapsing brain disease. Opioids killed nearly 30 Kentuckians per 100,000 in 2015, a rate significantly higher than the rest of the country (13.1 per 100,000). Drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death among Americans, with a greater number of annual related fatalities than those from car accidents and firearms, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency.
"As we focus on expanding access to addiction treatment centers for our members, we are encouraged by this agreement with Renew Recovery to join our network in Kentucky," said Jack Szczepanowski, Humana's Behavioral Health field vice president. "We are hopeful that together we can make a greater impact on helping our members connect with the care they need, when they need it in the fight against the opioid crisis."

Candidate biomarkers specific to paediatric asthma have been determined in urine by GC/MS to provide insights into asthmatic pathophysiology with the aid of network biology approaches.
Spray-drying using acetone as solvent is a common method for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, but the formation of less volatile dimeric-type compounds, such as diacetone alcohol and mesityl oxide, from the acetone is a problem. Merck scientists, based at their Rahway (New Jersey) and West Point (Pennsylvania) sites, optimised headspace GC conditions for the analysis of these acetone-derived compounds.
The non-volatile natural products of Salinispora bacteria, a group of marine microorganisms, have been investigated, but little work has been carried out on their volatile natural products. A group of scientists from the Technical University of Brunswick, Germany, and the University of California San Diego used a combination of GC-MS, GC-IR and chemical synthesis to identify novel volatile lactones from Salinispora.
The intravenous anaesthetic propofol is widely used, but up to now it has not been possible to measure its concentration in living brains. A combination of cerebral microdialysis, direct immersion solid-phase microextraction (DI-SPME) and GC-MS/MS was used to analyse propofol levels in cerebral fluid.
A simple and green method was developed for the determination of volatile chemicals, especially the 48 fragrance allergens in wooden children's products, using static headspace coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Petroleum base oil: Which method gives best ionisation in GC-MS determination?
Base oils are fractions derived from crude oil that are then used as the main components in lubricating oils, but the analysis of these complex mixtures remains a challenge. A multi-centre team of researchers compared four different GC×GC-MS methods for base oil analysis: electron ionisation, chemical ionisation, photo-ionisation and field ionisation.
A new type of thermal modulator, acting as the interface between the two separation columns in 2D GC, has been recently introduced. Researchers from the University of Messina, Italy, examined the effects of various parameters of the unit on the 2D GC's performance, looking at a mixture of three alkanes and a sample of diesel fuel.

Former Stags' managers join lineup for fan-led event
Former Stags' managers Paul Cox and Adam Murray have joined the line-up for 'Legends Live' – a fan-organised event which will act as a fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Society and to raise awareness of Dementia.
The evening, which also brings back 00's goal-scoring hero Richie Barker along with more club legends to be announced soon, will take place in the Sandy Pate Sports Bar on Friday 27 July at 8.00pm, with FREE entry for Stags' fans.
Cox delivered promotion as champions of the Conference in 2013, in just his second season as Stags' manager, leading Mansfield back into the Football League after a five-year absence.
He joined the club in the summer of 2011 and started a revival of the playing and coaching staff, leading Mansfield to the play-offs in his first season at the helm.
The event has been arranged by supporters' podcast 'Mansfield Matters,' and will be led by the podcast's host, Craig Priest.
Speaking on the announcement of former Stags' boss Cox, Priest said: "I'm buzzing that Paul has agreed to join us, I worked closely with him when he was the manager and I know he'll have some brilliant stories to share with supporters for a fantastic cause.
"Paul is without a doubt one of the nicest people I've ever met in football, he always went about his business seriously but always had time to crack a joke and make you feel involved.
"When we (The Mansfield Matters team) were planning this event, Paul's name was top of our list, I'm sure he'll get a hero's welcome, as he did when he returned for the FA Cup clash last season."
Cox will be joined on the night by his assistant and captain during his tenure, Adam Murray, who succeeded him as manager in 2015, and also had three separate spells as a player at the club during his career.
"Adam is a great character who loves the club dearly, it was great to see him return towards the back end of last season in a media capacity and see that glint in his eye – his love for the club will never die and I know he'll have plenty of stories to tell," Priest added.
"Murray was instrumental to our promotion-winning season, often playing through injury to drag us over the line. I know what drove that passion and I can't wait for him to share those stories with fellow supporters.
"Getting Adam involved along with Paul and Richie is a real draw as he's done pretty much every job going, from being part of the 2002 promotion as a youngster, to coaching the kids and taking over from Paul – it's going to be a great night."
The evening will also delve further into the club's history, with more familiar heroic names to be announced soon.
"The fact the club have so generously allowed us to host the event at One Call Stadium at the Sandy Pate Sports Bar means so much, it really feels like we're bringing home some iconic faces for a really important cause," said Priest.
"I'm really excited and thank all at the club for their generosity."
The evening will also include a sports quiz and on-stage entertainment as 'Mansfield Matters' aims to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society and raise more awareness of Dementia.
Mansfield Matters 'Legends Live' takes place at One Call Stadium in the Sandy Pate Sports Bar on Friday 27 July at 8.00pm. The event is FREE entry, but donations are encouraged.

Hoverboard fire lawsuit against Amazon can move forward
Posted 9:00 am, July 10, 2019, by AP
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee family can press its lawsuit against online retailer Amazon over a hoverboard fire that destroyed their home, an appeals court has ruled, saying the company was aware of complaints about the devices catching fire and exploding.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' Friday ruling also noted that the Seattle-based company had even launched an investigation that led to its ceasing all hoverboard sales worldwide.
But Amazon's notice to consumers consisted of an email saying there had been "reports of safety issues," with no mention of fires and explosions.
In the complaint, Megan and Charles Fox say their son had left his hoverboard downstairs in their home when it caught fire in January 2016. The fire trapped two of the children upstairs and they had to jump from second floor windows to escape. The family's home was destroyed along with all of their possessions. They are seeking more than $30 million in damages.
One legal question involves whether Amazon was the seller of the hoverboards or merely a pass-through between a third-party Chinese seller and customers like the Foxes.
A separate, related case in the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals last week found that under Pennsylvania product liability law, Amazon was the seller of a defective retractable dog leash that snapped and blinded a woman in one eye.
The Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit court's ruling likewise rejected Amazon's arguments that the term "seller" should be narrowly construed, finding that under the Tennessee Products Liability Act, a seller "means any individual regularly engaged in exercising sufficient control over a product in connection with its sale." However, the court found that in the specific case at hand, the Foxes had not proven that Amazon acted as a seller of the hoverboard they purchased.
The court let the case go forward on a different claim. It found that Amazon had assumed a duty to warn the Foxes of the dangers posed by the hoverboards when it sent them an email. It will be up to the lower court to decide whether Amazon's warning was negligent.
According to court documents, Amazon became aware of complaints about hoverboards sold through its marketplace in November 2015.
On November 30, 2015, for example, a customer sent an email to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos stating that a hoverboard had burst into flames with "fireworks-like explosions" while his daughter was riding it. The email said the fire damaged the customer's home and narrowly avoided injuring three of his children.
Damon Jones, the leader of Amazon's products safety team, became concerned enough to remove his own hoverboard from his home, according to court records. And on Dec. 11, 2015, Amazon ceased all hoverboard sales worldwide.
The next day Amazon sent an email to customers who had already purchased hoverboards that was intended to be "non-alarmist." The email mentioned "reports of safety issues" with a link to "information and safety tips" and another link to initiate a return.
Megan Fox said in court documents she does not remember receiving the email, but she would have gotten rid of the hoverboard had she known there was a possibility it could explode.
The case now goes back to the federal district court in Nashville.

Angeliki Anar has been throwing around polymer colors with exhuberance recently. Here are just a couple of examples of what this Greek artist has been churning out.
On these earrings Angeliki slices flat pieces of color that have been dusted with rainbow flecks (how does she do that) and shapes them into shallow cones. Contrasting edges heighten the color mix further. When she adds a glaze, you'd swear they were ceramic or perhaps enamel.
On the bangles she textures center beads that are captured between black polymer spirals. Take some time to soak up the warmth radiating from her work on Flickr and on her Facebook page. Have a warm, sunny weekend.
I love those vibrant colors! What a great artist!
I am in love with those earrings 🙂 Anarina is very talented- and it shows!

While none of them were fortunate enough to bring home a state championship, the four local golf teams that made the trip to Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro for Saturday's team golf state championships had plenty to feel good about.
In Class B, the defending state champion Falmouth Yachtsmen capped a solid campaign by finishing runner-up to York. The Wildcats enjoyed a 17-stroke victory (311 to 328). Yarmouth completed its second straight stellar showing at states with a third-place finish (329).
In Class A, Greely, which moved up in class this year, came in fifth with a team score of 330. Thornton Academy (316) was first.
In Class C, North Yarmouth Academy shot a 324 to come in third behind Houlton (318) and St. Dom's (322).
Falmouth entered 2009 a bit of an unknown commodity, but was competitive throughout the regular season, going 4-5 before placing second at the Western Maine Conference qualifier. Saturday, the Yachtsmen were paced by Connor Burfeind, who shot a 77 on the 18-hole Tomahawk course. Will Bucklin (82), Nick Franco (84) and Taylor Dimick (85) also scored. Matt Packard's 89 didn't figure into the scoring.
"This season was pretty amazing for our team," said Falmouth coach Spike Herrick. "We graduated five of the top six from last year's state championship team. We felt that making it to states would be an amazing accomplishment. When we shot a 294 at the first day of qualifiers, everyone took notice. That was the lowest score ever recorded at the qualifiers!
Yarmouth, which shocked everyone a year ago by qualifying unexpectedly for the state match before placing fifth, went 5-4 this year and finished third at the qualifier. At Natanis, the Clippers got a 75 from Nick McMenamin, an 84 from Tanner Johnson, 85 from Brian Laverierre and an 85 from Ian Marr. Joe King (87) also took part.
"All five of our players gave it their best shot on Saturday," said first-year Yarmouth coach Tom McDowell. "Nick McMenamin played very well. You could see his focus during the round. Tanner Johnson gutted out a solid round as well. We went into it knowing that if we played well, we had a chance. We also knew that there were four teams that were in that same boat – York, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, and us. York played very well, particularly given the conditions.
Greely, under first-year coach Brian Bickford, had a stellar 2009, going 8-1 in the regular season before making it to states by shooting a 320 at the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference qualifier. Saturday, on the Tomahawk course, the Rangers (whose enrollment numbers forced the move up to Class A) were led by Dean Maynard's 80. Ben Walsh (82), Jason Lewis (84) and Peter Westra (84) also scored, while Kyle Bickford (85) was close behind.
Greely is sending all five boys who competed Saturday, as well as seven girls, to the individual championships this coming weekend.
"Qualifying 12 kids has to be a state record," said Bickford.
NYA didn't qualify for states a year ago, despite an 8-1 regular season mark. In 2008, only one Class C team from the conference qualified and the Panthers came in second to rival St. Dom's. With the Saints out of the conference this season, NYA faced a much easier road and the Panthers were superb from start to finish under new coach Mike Dutton, winning 11 of 12 regular season matches before shooting a 652 to come in first at the conference qualifier. At states, NYA (which played the Arrowhead course) featured a 76 from standout Tim Millett, a 78 from Nick Luce, an 84 from Toey LeBlanc and an 86 from Harry Fast. Chris Whiting (91) also took part.
"It was a good effort from the team," said Dutton. "None of them had been to the state tournament before. We had a great regular season, we just didn't play strong at the state tournament and it cost us. We would have had the tiebreaker for first or second place.
The 2009 golf season comes to a close this Saturday when several local individuals battle for top honors back at Natanis.

When my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, alarm bells sounded because my mother had died of metastatic colorectal cancer just a few years before. Surely, I thought, doctors would act quickly to remove my father's prostate and save his life. Imagine my surprise when the oncologist recommended no treatment at all. My father had an indolent tumor, the doctor said, the slow-growing kind that doesn't need immediate medical attention. Let's just watch and wait, he advised.
Watchful waiting, or a more rigorous approach sometimes called active surveillance, has become a common choice for men with low-risk prostate cancer. Research published in the July 7, 2015, Journal of the American Medical Association found that about 40 percent of men with low-risk prostate cancer chose active surveillance from 2010 to 2013, up from about 10 percent from 2005 to 2009.
Active surveillance isn't confined to patients with low-risk prostate cancer. Contributing editor Sue Rochman reports that a similar approach is being taken with patients who have certain types of slow growing blood cancers. (See "Treatment Is Waiting.") Research has found that early treatment of these patients before symptoms develop doesn't improve survival and can expose them to treatment-related side effects. These patients experience no gain and a lot of pain. But again, blood cancer patients who are waiting need to be watchful by adhering to the follow-up protocol recommended by their health care team.
Watchful waiting is sometimes referred to as watchful worrying. Anxiety and depression are common after a cancer diagnosis, whether the patient undergoes immediate treatment or begins a period of active surveillance. Cancer Today associate editor Kate Yandell interviewed psychiatrist Andrew Roth, who counsels prostate cancer patients to use "emotional judo" when facing their distress. (See "Learning Emotional Judo.") The goal, Roth says, is to help men develop tactics to "turn down the volume on their anxiety and negative thoughts and flip back to the present" to minimize unhealthy and unproductive anxiety and depression.
For my father and the family, watchful waiting did involve worrying, but it turned out to be the right choice. He died in 2006 of causes unrelated to his prostate cancer. Of course, for some patients, quick action is required and active surveillance isn't an option. Other patients may want to be treated for their cancer right now, even if active surveillance is possible. In the end, it should be the patient's decision to make after consulting with his or her health care team, family members and friends. But if active surveillance is the choice, it's vital for patients to follow a regular schedule of doctor visits and testing.

HUGH P. McNALLY & another vs. WILLIAM I. SCHELL.
December 6, 1935 - January 30, 1936
Court Below: Superior Court, Suffolk County
Present: Rugg, C.J., Crosby, Pierce, Donahue, & Qua, JJ.
Contract, Construction, For the management of real estate. Damages, For breach of contract. Evidence, Presumptions and burden of proof.
A bilateral contract between the owner of a building and an agent, for the management of the property and collection of rents by the agent on commission for five years, was construed as importing an implied promise by the owner to employ the agent during the entire term.
In an action for breach of a contract to employ the plaintiff for five years as agent to manage real estate and collect the rents for a commission, upon proof of the gross amount of commissions that the plaintiff would have received had he been allowed by the defendant to perform the contract, the burden was on the defendant to reduce the damages by evidence of what it would have cost the plaintiff to perform it.
CONTRACT OR TORT. Writ in the Municipal Court of the City of Boston dated September 19, 1934.
Upon removal to the Superior Court, the action was tried before Dillon, J. There was a verdict for the plaintiffs in the sum of $2,637.94. The defendant alleged exceptions.
H. Bergson, for the defendant, submitted a brief.
M. Jenckes, for the plaintiffs.
PIERCE, J. This case is here on two exceptions of the defendant saved at a trial to a jury in the Superior Court. The first exception is to the refusal of the trial judge to order a verdict for the defendant, and the second is to the portion of the charge with reference to damages. The amended declaration sets out a claim for breach of contract
and alleges that on April 5, 1928, the plaintiffs made an agreement in writing with the defendant to manage the building at 401 Beacon Street, Boston, for a period of five years from September 1, 1927; that by the terms of said agreement they would receive in compensation for their services five per cent of the rentals collected from the tenants in the building; that on or about February 18, 1929, the defendant sold the property and thereafter the plaintiffs were not permitted by the new owner to collect the said rentals, and that the commissions on the amount of rentals collected up to the expiration of their agreement amounted to $2,950, which amount they sought, less a credit of $340.49. The answer is a general denial. The plaintiffs' amended declaration and the defendant's answer are incorporated in the bill of exceptions by reference and made a part of it.
At the trial the plaintiffs proved the execution of the agreement set forth in their declaration. They introduced evidence tending to show that, acting under said agreement, they procured tenants for the building, described by street and number in the agreement, at an annual rental of $4,000 a tenant and that they managed the building in accordance with the terms of the agreement until February 18, 1929, when they received written notice from the defendant that he had sold the property to "E. M. Blunt Inc."; that the new purchaser declined to permit the plaintiffs to manage the property; that the tenants continued to pay their rents at the same rate until September 1, 1932; that the plaintiffs were paid all the commissions due them on rentals collected by them while the property was in the possession of the defendant, and had the sum of $340.49 left in their hands for which they gave the defendant credit in their declaration. There was also evidence that the sale of the property on February 18, 1929, to E. M. Blunt Inc., was made by the defendant in good faith, and that five per cent of the rentals paid by the tenants to E. M. Blunt Inc., from March 1, 1929, to September 1, 1932, amounted to $2,950. The foregoing is substantially all the material evidence in the
case upon the issues raised by the bill of exceptions. At the close of the evidence the defendant filed a motion for a directed verdict which the judge denied, and the defendant duly excepted.
In his charge to the jury on the question of damages the judge, subject to the defendant's exception, said: "These rents may be considered as the basis of the gains which they (the plaintiffs) were prevented from getting, the amount claimed $2,569.51 [sic]. If you say that $2,569.51 [sic] is the commission on the rents collected, if you find that the plaintiffs have proved the contract, that is the amount which you may find, with interest from the date of the writ." The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the full amount claimed in the declaration, and interest.
In support of his motion for a directed verdict the defendant contends, in substance, that he never agreed to employ the plaintiffs to manage the property at 401 Beacon Street for a period of five years from September 1, 1927; that the trial judge was in error when he assumed that because the plaintiffs agreed to manage the property for five years the agreement thereby meant that the defendant agreed to employ the plaintiffs for five years; that there is no requirement in law that in a bilateral agreement the promises of the parties thereto should be mutually coextensive, and it is perfectly proper for one man to contract to be bound for a greater length of time than another; that in the case at bar the plaintiffs, who drew the agreement, elected to offer their services and be bound to the defendant for a period of five years, but it was wholly optional with the defendant whether he would accept their services for the full five years or any part thereof.
The agreement is to be construed as of the date when it was signed and executed in the light of all the attendant conditions as well as upon its terms when the latter are not specific and clear. Maynard v. Royal Worcester Corset Co. 200 Mass. 1, 4. It does not specifically provide that the defendant shall employ the plaintiffs for a defined term. It does clearly provide that the plaintiffs shall perform the services for the defendant described and enumerated
in the agreement for a period of five years from September 1, 1927, and "for such further period as may elapse until one of the parties . . . [to the agreement] shall give to the other ninety (90) days' notice in writing of the cancellation of this agreement, such notice, however, to be given upon the first day of any month."
On this branch of the case the only question for decision is whether the agreement when executed was revocable at the pleasure of the defendant because it contained no express terms that the defendant should continue to employ the plaintiffs for five years or for any extended period of time provided for therein, or whether the agreement in the light of all its provisions implied a promise by the defendant to employ the plaintiffs for the period covered by the plaintiffs' promise. Regarded from the date of its execution the agreement manifestly contemplated a permanency in the relations of the plaintiffs and the defendant. It provided, among other things, for the active cooperation of the plaintiffs and the defendant involved in the execution of leases for tenants "whose applications are accepted" by the defendant; for the maintenance of "rentals within minimum expenses"; for the collection of rents by suits; for the institution of summary proceedings in the name of the plaintiffs or in the name of the defendant for the recovery of possession of the property or any part thereof. It also provided that the plaintiffs should receive compensation at a specified percentage of the gross rentals collected; that additional commissions be paid the plaintiffs in case the defendant should accept tenants procured or presented by other brokers; that the defendant should reimburse the plaintiffs for all expenses incurred in connection with the property and indemnify and hold harmless the plaintiffs against all claims arising out of their management and "It is further agreed that when this contract terminates and if at the time of such termination there shall be in existence any leases or renewals or extensions of leases with unexpired terms (which leases or renewals or extensions have been secured during the continuance of the agreement) the Owner agrees to pay to the
Agent, in addition to the charges previously set forth, a sum equal to the regular brokerage commission adopted by the Boston Real Estate Exchange for the unexpired term of such leases, renewals or extensions of leases."
The agreement was not void or voidable for want of consideration or as failing in mutuality. It bore the individual seals of all parties to it. The parties stood on equal footing. The agreement when considered as a whole should be construed to import an implied promise on the part of the defendant not to disable the plaintiffs from their performance of the services to be rendered by them for him and thereby prevent them from receiving the commissions which they were entitled to withhold from the rentals. We think the case is distinguishable on its facts from Harper v. Hassard, 113 Mass. 187, relied on by the defendant, in that under the agreement in the case at bar the parties plainly contemplated a continuance of the contractual relations until the termination of the promise of the plaintiffs.
On the second branch of the case, which relates to the rule of damages to be applied, the defendant contends that the rule laid down by the judge, supra, was erroneous because it disregarded the cost to the plaintiffs of earning the commissions. We think the plaintiffs established a prima facie case and that the burden was upon the defendant to meet that case before the plaintiffs were called upon to produce evidence that it would cost them nothing to manage the property, or to show what it would cost so that this amount could be deducted from the gross amount and a verdict rendered for the difference. Maynard v. Royal Worcester Corset Co. 200 Mass. 1, 6, and cases cited. Randall v. Peerless Motor Car Co. 212 Mass. 352, 380-381. Applied to the facts in evidence we see no error in the instructions given.
Exceptions overruled.
Motion for double costs denied.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide governments with scientific information they can use to develop climate policies. IPCC reports are also key inputs into international climate change negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Thousands of people from all over the world contribute to the IPCC's work. The IPCC does not undertake new research or monitor climate-related data. Instead, it conducts assessments of the state of climate change knowledge on the basis of published and peer-reviewed scientific and technical literature. Scientists volunteer their time to assess the thousands of scientific papers published each year to provide a comprehensive summary of what is known about the drivers of climate change, impacts and future risks, and how adaptation and mitigation can reduce those risks. IPCC assessment reports are intended to be policy relevant, but not policy prescriptive. The IPPC's first assessment report was released in 1990.
57th Session of the IPCC (IPCC-57)
With the publication of Synthesis Report from the sixth assessment cycle delayed until March 2023, delegates at IPCC-57 focused on the need to prepare for a smooth transition to the seventh assessment cycle, to ensure the Panel remains relevant and continues to provide much needed scientific guidance to advance ambitious climate action.
Event 27 September 2022 - 30 September 2022
56th Session of the IPCC (IPCC-56) and 14th Session of Working Group III (WGIII-14)
With greenhouse gas emissions at their highest ever and rising, delegates and authors worked overtime to finalize the Summary for Policymakers, which presents the key findings of their report, "Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change."
Event 21 March 2022 - 4 April 2022
55th Session of the IPCC (IPCC-55) and 12th Session of Working Group II (WGII-12)
As a summary of impacts across both human and natural systems, the latest IPCC report, "Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability," recounts widespread losses and damages to nature and people.
Event 14 February 2022 - 27 February 2022
54th Session of the IPCC (IPCC-54) and 14th Session of the Working Group I (WG I-14)
The first Working Group contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Sixth Assessment Report providing a comprehensive assessment of the physical science underpinning past, present and future climate change.
Event 26 July 2021 - 6 August 2021
53rd bis Session of the IPCC (IPCC-53 bis)
Delegates sought to advance the intergovernmental process around the IPCC's influential climate change reports despite the pandemic, the virtual setting, and simmering tensions.
Event 22 March 2021 - 26 March 2021
52nd Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-52)
During the week-long meeting, participants agreed on an outline for the Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Report, engaged in detailed consideration of the organization of future work in light of the Global Stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement, and also adopted the Gender Policy and Implementation Plan.
51st Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-51)
The Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) has some alarming messages in its assessment of the latest scientific knowledge about the physical science basis for, and impacts of, climate change on ocean, coastal, polar, and mountain ecosystems, and the human communities that depend on them. It also evaluates their vulnerabilities and adaptation capacity, as well as options for achieving climate-resilient development pathways.
50th Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-50)
The 50th session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change adopted the Summary for Policymakers of the Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL) and accepted the underlying report. The SRCCL represents the first ever comprehensive look at the whole land-climate system, addressing land as a critical resource, desertification and land degradation, food security, and land and climate change responses. This is the first IPCC report in which most of the authors are from developing countries, with women accounting for 40% of Coordinating Lead Authors.
Event 2 August 2019 - 7 August 2019
Event 8 May 2019 - 12 May 2019
On Saturday, 6 October, the Panel adopted the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR15) and approved the Technical Summary and the underlying assessment report. Throughout the week and through the last night, the first Joint Session of Working Groups (WGs) I, II and III discussed the SPM line-by-line in order to reach agreement.


I was wondering how long away the common use of solar powered cars will be. How expensive will they be when they first come out? Would you envisage our driving patterns will be changed with the use of solar powered cars. Thanks for your feedback.
Good job for your first post on a forum!


To anyone using OpenOffice, you *may* want to migrate from that to LibreOffice (or I think you could run both), b/c Oracle has decided to ditch commercial support and development for OO. Oracle continues to employ some of the in-house developers that work on the open source version, but it's unknown how long that will continue. LibreOffice is a forked version of OO that is being independently developed by the open source community.

Q: Error-ing out attempting to post a message to discord when a twitter post is made So the idea is simple, I have a list of twitter IDs, when any of these accounts make a post, I want this bot to take that post, and share a link to it in a specific discord channel. Currently, it tosses an error at me when I make a twitter post.
Relevant Code:
class MyStreamListener(tweepy.StreamListener): #this runs whenever a tweet is posted
    async def on_status(self, status):
        send(status)

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='=')
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user.name} has connected to Discord!')
    myStreamListener = MyStreamListener() #sets up the listener
    myStream = tweepy.Stream(auth = auth_api.auth, listener=myStreamListener)
    myStream.filter(follow=[{ids of the accounts}], is_async = True)

async def send(postID):
    channel = bot.get_channel(834887013756305490)
    channel.send('https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/'+str(postID.id)) #error happens here.

Here is the error:
C:...site-packages\tweepy\streaming.py:54: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'MyStreamListener.on_status' was never awaited
if self.on_status(status) is False:
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
I have attempted to do this in a non async channel, which gives me an error, and I have attempted to add "await" before channel.send (which is how it worked for sending a message on, say, a command prompt), but neither of these worked.
If anyone has any idea what I am missing here, help would be MUCH appreciated.

A: Messageable.send is a coroutine, it needs to be awaited
async def send(postID):
    channel = bot.get_channel(834887013756305490)
    await channel.send('https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/'+str(postID.id))

International Border Security Report Features TCOM on Smarter Border Security Enabled by Persistent Airborne Surveillance Aerostats
December 15, 2020 /in News /by gal
Border Security Report, a respected international defense publication, has published today a feature article about how "Persistent Airborne Surveillance Aerostats enable smarter Border Security." According to the article, increasing geopolitical tensions in global geo-conflict border security zones, from the South China Sea to the Iran-Saudi Arabia conflict and the Russia-Ukraine and former Eastern Europe NATO allies have made the need for reliable and cost-effective persistent airborne surveillance imperative for effective C5ISR's doctrine for military and law enforcement decision-makers. As they seek to monitor, identify, and prepare to respond when a real or perceived threat becomes imminent to their strategic interests.
Most critica
lly, effective persistent airborne surveillance must operate in multiple environments. Border security can mean protecting critical infrastructures, maritime ports, entire maritime areas against missiles, and in the air. Adding to that complexity is the presence of largely populated areas in multiple countries proximate to the conflict zone, making it challenging to select one tool or method to create a compelling operational 'Common Operating Picture' for defense and border security decision-makers.vRead more at https://border-security-report.com/smarter-border-security-enabled-by-persistent-airborne-surveillance-aerostats/

TCOM Wins 2020 Platinum Award as Best Persistent Aerial Surveillance and Monitoring Solution at the Astors' Homeland Security Awards Competition
December 8, 2020 /in News /by gal
TCOM, LP, is pleased to announce today it has won the 2020 Platinum Award for Best Persistent Aerial Surveillance and Monitoring Solution in 2020 in the Astors' Homeland Security Awards Competition, held by American Security Today magazine. According to the award committee, TCOM's lighter-than-air Best Persistent Aerial Monitoring Aerostats are providing the U.S. Homeland Security and U.S. Army communities with the most cost-effective aerial persistent surveillance solutions with the promise of integration of new ISR sensors that can watch borders, maritime, and other scenarios efficiently and with cutting-edge innovation.
Persistent surveillance aerial aerostats remain in critical military demand, particularly at a tactical level as part of all of the above doctrines of Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR). For example, in late September 2019, the US Department of Defense awarded a $979 million contract to TCOM – to perform work on the Persistent Surveillance Systems – Tethered (PSS-T) program, a range of medium and large tactical aerostats that provide ISR, force protection and communications capabilities to a range of users. The PSS-T aerostat fleet provides a flexible and affordable capability comprising medium and large-size aerostats to provide persistent, integrated, networked, and multi-sensor information collection via long periods of operation altitude that maximizes lines of sight and field of regard on onboard systems. TCOM's systems support requirements for Homeland Security on the U.S. southwestern border, as well as in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Horn of Africa, providing persistent surveillance, force protection, and ISR missions, as well as communications extensions. The platforms' primary advantage is their ability to provide extended time on mission and at an advantageous cost, with aerostats providing great flexibility for operating multiple capabilities simultaneously. Of special notice, TCOM, LP was also recognized as the top solution for persistent surveillance ISR for homeland security in 2019, 2018, and 2017 'ASTORS' Homeland Security Awards Programs.

Customized for air, land and sea surveillance applications
Affordable, reliable persistent surveillance solutions
Tactical, Operational and Strategic Solutions Designed to Meet Any Mission
Maintaining continuous aerial security is a daunting task. Threats such as low-flying, extremely fast aircraft can take advantage of the earth's curvature and exploit terrain obstructions. This renders ground-based radars unable to provide target information in time to take appropriate action. Slow, low flying missiles with a small cross section may also avoid early detection and pose a significant threat. Manned aerial surveillance can decrease the risk for short periods of heightened alert, but the operational costs are much too high for extended use. To meet this airborne coverage challenge effectively and inexpensively, TCOM developed the 71M Low Altitude Surveillance System. With over 1,000,000 hours of operation these systems are the only operational airborne defense assets to routinely provide the continuous round-the-clock, low altitude target detection information needed to secure the skies.

Once assembled, they are air inflated and tested, then inflated with helium. After helium inflation, the hardware and rigging is installed which prepares the aerostat for integration with the rest of the system.
Our new, state-of-the-art mooring station manufacturing facility is conveniently located adjacent to the hangar. All assembly and testing of the mooring stations is conducted in this central facility. Prior to integration with the aerostat and surveillance components, the mooring stations are passed through a rigorous acceptance procedure to ensure all functionality. Once the mooring structure, boom, tower, and other major portions are assembled together, integration of the machinery, electrical and hydraulic systems takes place. The system's avionics are also designed and manufactured by TCOM in an environmentally controlled area located at the headquarters facility. After all the components are procured and inspected, material kits are put into the shop for assembly and unit testing. TCOM employs a highly trained and experienced staff dedicated to wiring all the electronic items for the aerostat, mooring system and ground station. In addition, we build swivel slip-rings and perform tether termination and break testing, and perform thermal cycling and stress testing.
Once all of the electronics components have passed unit test, they are assembled together as a functional system and fully tested against rigorous acceptance standards. If payloads are available, they can be integrated at the electronics manufacturing facility or later with the complete system at the hangar. After the aerostat, mooring system, and avionics subsystems are completed, they are integrated together at the new flight pad, located at the Manufacturing Flight and Test Facility. Flight tests then begin as the complete system functionality is tested.
The Elizabeth City aerostat Manufacturing and Flight Test Facility enables TCOM to provide customers with an unparalleled level of quality assurance, training, ongoing operations and field support services. This facility has become the East Coast hub for all airship maintenance and assembly activities. The ability of TCOM to manufacture complete systems, rather than just sub-assemblies, provides us the flexibility to change quickly when needed to accommodate our customers' needs.

Former Silverbacks defender Chris Klute traded to Portland
From Columbus.
By Matthew Edmiston@ed_mis_ton Dec 11, 2015, 2:38pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Former Silverbacks defender Chris Klute traded to Portland
The Portland Timbers have acquired former Silverbacks left back Christ Klute.
Klute, who also played for the Colorado Rapids was traded from Columbus Crew to MLS Cup Winners, Portland Timbers, in exchange for general allocation money.
Klute had 14 appearances for Columbus Crew this season in addition to his 71 total MLS appearances and 8 assists.
Columbus Crew head coach Greg Berhalter commented, "This transaction will provide Chris an opportunity to gain valuable playing time while providing Crew SC with salary cap flexibility for the 2016 campaign."
Chris spent 3 years with the Silverbacks and the Silverbacks reserves from 2011 to 2013 making a total of 12 appearances for the Georgia club. He participated in Jurgen Klinsmann's 2014 "January Camp," but did not feature in any of the friendly matches following the training.
Like we do with all players that were once based in Georgia, we wish him all the best in Portland.

See all DVDs It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a "human target" in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it's about one thing only: saving his clients' lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can't be solved through "normal" means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients' lives to become the human target. If you're a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you're the president of a bank who's been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller. During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, "Pushing Daisies") and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, "Watchmen"), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission. With every new danger, Chance's dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET?

Q: Fill empty merged cells in range with top-left cell data that merged range +--------+-----+-----+
|   A    |  D  |  F  |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

From values merged ranges array:
[[A,  ,  ], [D,  ], [F,  ]]
to this:
[[A, A, A], [D, D], [F, F]]
But looks like this code not work for me. Where is problem or is there better solution ?
let SpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
let Sheet = SpreadSheet.getSheets()[0];
let CategoryRange = Sheet.getRange(1,1,1,Sheet.getLastColumn());
let CategoryMergedRanges = CategoryRange.getMergedRanges();
let CategoryData = CategoryRange.getValues();

for (let i = 0; i < CategoryMergedRanges.length; i++) {
    let CategoryName = "";
    for (let j = CategoryMergedRanges[i].getColumn(); j < CategoryMergedRanges[i].getColumn() + CategoryMergedRanges[i].getNumColumns(); j++) {
      if (CategoryData[0][j - 1].toString() != "") {
        CategoryName = CategoryData[0][i - 1];
      }
    }
    for (let j = CategoryMergedRanges[i].getColumn(); j < CategoryMergedRanges[i].getColumn() + CategoryMergedRanges[i].getNumColumns(); j++) {
        CategoryData[0][i - 1] = CategoryName;
    }
  }
Logger.log(CategoryData);

A: Explanation:

*

*According to your explanation: A, D and F are merged into 3,2 and 2
number of cells respectively.

Meaning that the merged ranges would be:
[[A, , ], [D, ], [F, ]]
Assuming:

*

*merged A1:C1 with value A in cell A1

*merged D1:E1 with value D in cell D1

*merged F1:G1 with value F in cell F1
In order to fill in the empty cells using the first value of each array you can use the fill() method.
The following script will give you the result in the screenshot.

Solution:
function myFunction() {

let SpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
let Sheet = SpreadSheet.getSheets()[0];
let CategoryRange = Sheet.getRange(1,1,1,Sheet.getMaxColumns());
let CategoryMergedRanges = CategoryRange.getMergedRanges();
let CategoryData = CategoryRange.getValues();

fAr = [];

CategoryMergedRanges.forEach(cmr=>
   {
       let tempA=cmr.getValues().flat();
       fAr.push(tempA.fill(tempA[0],1));
   }
);

let ffAr = [fAr.flat()];
Sheet.getRange(2,1,1,ffAr[0].length).setValues(ffAr);
}

Note that:
fAr returns [[A, A, A], [D, D], [F, F]] which should be the desired format that you want.
ffAr returns [[A, A, A, D, D, F, F]] which is what I use to set the values back to the sheet (Optional).

Q: If a pointed variety is a subtractive category, then it is a subtractive variety. Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a variety of algebras. Every class of algebras is a category. In particular, assume that $\mathcal{V}$ is a subtractive category. This means that in $\mathcal{V}$ every reflexive left punctual relation is also right punctual. Assume also that $\mathcal{V}$ is pointed, that is that V has a constant 0. (A relation $R$ on $X$ is left punctual if the left projection of $R$ on $X$ has a section, similarly for right punctuality)
I want to prove that, under assumptions above, $\mathcal{V}$ is a subtractive variety: this means that $\mathcal{V}$ has a binary term $s$ satisfying for every variable $x$, the identities $s(x,x)=0$ and $s(x,0)=x$.
Let's start with the proof. Let $F(x)$ be the free algebra over the set $\{x\}$ of variables. Let $R$ be the relation on $F(x)$ homomorphically generated by the subset $\{(x,0),(x,x)\}$ of $F(x)\times F(x)$. Since $(x,x)$ is in $R$, $R$ is reflexive. Since $(x,0)$ is in $R$, $R$ is left punctual. Since $\mathcal{V}$ is a subtractive category, $R$ is also right punctual, hence $(0,x)$ is in $R$. Then there exists a binary term $s$ such that $s( (x,x), (x,0) )= (0,x)$. Writing the identity component-wise, we get $s(x,x)=0$ and $s(x,0)=x$. This concludes the proof.
Now, what I couldn't understand:
1) Why does $(x,x)\in R$ imply $R$ reflexive? Shouldn't I prove that $(a,a)$ is in $R$ for every $a$ in $F(x)$, not only for $x$?
2) How do I know that $F(x)$ is in $\mathcal{V}$?
3) Why does $(0,x)$ is realized as a binary term $s$ applied to $(x,x) $and $(x,0)$. How do I know it is binary?
4) What does it mean 'component-wise' at the end of the proof? I mean, I know the meaning of 'component-wise', but in the actual case, what I am actually doing when writing that identity component-wise and why is it possible to do that?

A: (0) The definition of left punctual is not right. The correct definition makes sense for any variety with $0$, and it is: a relation $R$ on $X$ is left punctual if the first projection $\pi_1:R\to X$ has a section $\sigma:X\to R$ whose composition with second projection $\pi_2\sigma:X\to X$ is the constant zero map.
(1) Why does $(x,x)\in R$ imply $R$ reflexive? Shouldn't I prove that $(a,a)$ is in $R$ for every $a$ in $F(x)$, not only for $x$? $R$ is a subalgebra of $X\times X$, for $X=F(x)$. Since $x$ generates $X$, the pair $(x,x)$ generates the diagonal of $X\times X$. Thus if $(x,x)\in R$, it follows that the diagonal is contained in $R$ as well, and so $R$ is reflexive.
(2) How do I know that $F(x)$ is in $\mathcal{V}$? This is a property of varieties. One common definition of a variety is: a class closed under the formation of homomorphic images, subalgebras, and products. But one can construct free algebras as subalgebras of products, so one only needs closure under subalgebras and products to guarantee that a class contains free algebras.
(3) Why does $(0,x)$ is realized as a binary term $s$ applied to $(x,x) $and $(x,0)$. How do I know it is binary? The corrected definition of subtractive (see item (0)) guarantees that the relation generated by $(x,x)$ and $(x,0)$ contains the pair $(0,x)$. Now the following are equivalent: (i) $(0,x)\in \langle (x,x), (x,0)\rangle$, and (ii) there is a binary term operation $s$ such that $s((x,x),(x,0))=(0,x)$. One can prove this by showing, e.g., that in general
$\langle a, b\rangle = \{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\}$.
(4) What does it mean 'component-wise' at the end of the proof? I mean, I know the meaning of 'component-wise', but in the actual case, what I am actually doing when writing that identity component-wise and why is it possible to do that? Not sure I understand the question, but let me give it a shot. The relation $R$ is the subalgebra of $X\times X$ generated by $(x,x)$ and $(x,0)$. $R$ contains $(0,x)$, so there is a binary term operation $s$ such that $s((x,x),(x,0))=(s(x,x),s(x,0))=(0,x)$. We are computing in $X\times X$, which consists of ordered pairs, and term operations are evaluated on pairs coordinatewise: $s((a,b),(c,d))=(s(a,c),s(b,d))$. You ask why we evaluate term operations coordinatewise in a product: one could say, That is the definition of the product, or one could say, That is forced by the universal property of products.

Edit 11/20/17.
Do you have some references or hints about what you wrote in the line: "One can prove this by showing, e.g., ..." at point 3) of your answer?
Proposition 13 of these notes is relevant, but I will add detail here.
Let $T(x,y)$ be the term algebra in the variables $x$ and $y$. It is generated by the set $\{x,y\}$. Let $A=\langle a, b\rangle$. $T(x,y)$ is absolutely free over $\{x,y\}$, so there is a unique homomorphism $\varphi\colon T(x,y)\to A\colon x\mapsto a, y\mapsto b$. By necessity, $\varphi(s(x,y))=s(a,b)$, so $\varphi(T(x,y))=\{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\}$. This explains why $\{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\}$ is a subalgebra of $A$ (it is an image). Since it contains $a$ and $b$, we derive that $\{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\}\supseteq \langle a, b\rangle$.
Homomorphisms map generating sets to generating sets, so we also get that $\varphi(T(x,y))=\{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\}$ is generated by $\varphi(\{x,y\})=\{a,b\}$, thereby showing that
$\{s(a,b)\;|\;s\;\textrm{a binary term operation}\} = \langle a, b\rangle$.

The Atlantic Council's Global China Hub is a new program that researches and devises allied solutions to the three greatest global challenges posed by China's rise: 1) China's rising political, economic, and informational influence on countries, institutions, and global order; 2) the ramifications of an increasingly repressive China under Xi Jinping for open societies and the global economy; and 3) China's drive for dominance in emerging technologies and the prospects for expanding digital authoritarianism globally.
The Global China Hub also strives to amplify and strategically expand the Atlantic Council's body of work on China by leveraging our values, extensive global network, and capacity for integrating insights and information across our 14 other programs and centers. In doing so, the Hub capitalizes on the Council's unique capacity to ascertain "ground truth" on China's trajectory and global impact and to galvanize creative policy solutions among US and allied government stakeholders.
Our pillars of work
At the heart of the Global China Hub is an initiative to capitalize on the breadth of the Atlantic Council's geographic reach and expertise on China across everything from energy to technology, to the economy, to the integrity of information. The Global China Initiative will draw these veins of work together to provide US and allied decision-makers with strategic solutions to the vexing questions posed by China's rise.
What happens in China no longer stays in China. Chinese leaders' approach to everything from economic reform to regulation of the tech industry to mounting political repression will affect China's trajectory as a great power, with direct consequences for US and allied interests and values. To better understand the domestic drivers of China's external behavior, China Inside Out will offer new resources that will provide cutting-edge insights and shape more effective policy responses by the United States and its allies and partners.
The competition is on to dominate the emerging technologies and industries of future. At risk are not only the economic benefits associated with advantages in semiconductors, AI, quantum computing, robotics, and other domains, but the future of democracy and individual rights. Developing concrete steps to promote technological advances that bolster democratic governance and individual rights will help the United States and its allies outflank rather than react to China's future techno-authoritarian efforts.

Sasha Velour Headlines Benefit for Homeless LGBT Youth
Sasha Velour at Montreal Pride (Photo: Matthew Wexler)
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 winner Sasha Velour and 30 iconic drag queens and kings will perform at a show benefiting the homeless LGBTQ youths of the Ali Forney Center at 6 p.m. on September 7 at Highline Ballroom.
The evening's goal is to raise $50,000 to support the Ali Forney Center's (AFC) housing and supportive services for homeless LGBTQ youth. AFC, which sees over 1,400 homeless youth each year, is the nation's largest and most comprehensive organization dedicated serving this population.
This one-night-only benefit performance serves as the official launch of DRAGS, a coffee table book featuring full-length black-and-white portraits of NYC drag legends photographed by veteran photographer and director Gregory Kramer. Kramer, who is the mastermind behind the book and event, has committed 100% of the proceeds of the book sales to benefit the young people who come to AFC for help.
"I am humbled by the love and care Gregory and every person involved with this very special project has offered us," said Carl Siciliano, AFC's Executive Director. "The young people we see at our shelters and Drop-in Center have experienced hate and rejection from the people who are supposed to love them unconditionally, it means so much to us that so many are lending their time, resources, and talent to do something to show them they are valued and loved."
"DRAGS celebrates a community of incredibly talented artists who express their individuality and personal identity through performance and style," said Gregory Kramer, DRAGS producer and photographer. "The project was conceived as an opportunity to benefit an LGBTQ organization, and everyone involved signed on without hesitation to support the Ali Forney Center. Our participants felt strongly about using their creativity on behalf of AFC's important work with homeless LGBTQ youth who are rejected by their families because of their identity. We stand together as a community to find creative ways to support each other."
Meet-and-greet, VIP, and General Admission tickets are on sale now, and all ticket levels include an open vodka bar provided by Chopin Vodka.
