Garden Court Chambers participated in the largest and most successful London Legal Walk to date. The event is organised annually to raise money for the London Legal Support Trust, which supports law centres across London that provide valuable advice and representation to those who might otherwise be without access to justice.
The team of 16 walkers raised over £1,200. The total sum raised by all 4,500 walkers is estimated to be a record-breaking £400,000.
The team successfully completed the 10km route around London, taking them through the Temple to the Millennium Bridge, along the South bank, past Buckingham Palace, round Green Park, then returning through St James Park and along the North of the river to the Law Society.

Peter had taken on the Directorship of Mill Hill. He was planning to move. He moved to University College from Birmingham and he was moving to the National Institute of Medical Research. I remember- no, I won't talk about that, about his motives for the- doesn't concern the story. He'd offered the job to another bloke in Birmingham who had so much money of his own that he had decided, for taxation reasons, to return to the Channel Islands, so he was left without somebody to head the department which had been engaged in reproductive biology. But he saw would make a good place for him to work, so he wanted somebody to run a small outfit in which he would fit. And, I was- so he invited me to come down and join him. And I was thrilled to do that, because you've only got to look at the National Institute of Medial Research at that time, probably still today, to see that it is a fantastic place for doing research. But now, you were to build this division of experimental biology into an immunology division. How did that- what were you recruited to do there? Nobody ever said anything much about that. You could do what you liked. But I think they, kind of, assumed that I would build it into a- into an immunology division. Because there was an immunology division. That's right. There was an immunology division run by John Humphrey. A very nice man. A very good friend. And the last thing I wanted to do was to compete with John or make life difficult for him. And I suppose if I'd thought about it, I would've realised that perhaps it wouldn't have been that easy, but on the other hand, since we were good friends and since, at that time, immunology was hopping, as it is, still is today, having two divisions working on it didn't seem to be a grave error. In any case, as you may remember, because you came there, there was a bit of the old division, the old reproductive biology left over then. Bob Edwards was still- stayed on for a year or two, and he, of course, was doing work, which I certainly at the time, didn't realise quite what an important part it would have in the future, when he became the guru of- IVF. Yes. Of IVF, yes.
Avrion Mitchison, the British zoologist, is currently Professor Emeritus at University College London and is best known for his work demonstrating the role of lymphocytes in tumour rejection and for the separate and cooperative roles of T- and B-lymphocytes in this and other processes.

Performance of the ATLAS muon trigger in pp collisions at (Formula presented.)
The ATLAS Collaboration
The performance of the ATLAS muon trigger system is evaluated with proton–proton collision data collected in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV. It is primarily evaluated using events containing a pair of muons from the decay of Z bosons. The efficiency of the single-muon trigger is measured for muons with transverse momentum 25 < pT < 100GeV, with a statistical uncertainty of less than 0.01% and a systematic uncertainty of 0.6%. The pT range for efficiency determination is extended by using muons from decays of J/ψ mesons, W bosons, and top quarks. The muon trigger shows highly uniform and stable performance. The performance is compared to the prediction of a detailed simulation.

What Billionaire Space Flights Mean to Healthcare Workers
While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage around the globe and climate disaster is destroying the planet, billionaires are taking joyrides to space. Two healthcare workers who worked throughout the pandemic respond.

Competition, Monopoly, and Exploitation under Capitalism
While signing an executive order to expand competition and crack down on monopolistic practices, Joe Biden said that "capitalism without competition isn't capitalism. It's exploitation." His statement reflects a long-standing assumption among both classical and more left-leaning economists alike that increasing monopolization is the source of increasing exploitation under capitalism. What do they get wrong? Economist Michael Roberts explains.
How Bad Will it Get? Climate Catastrophe and Capitalism
As recent events make clear, our world has been irreversibly changed. Adequately responding to the changes already baked into the climate --- and learning how to thrive in this new world while avoiding the worst case scenarios still on the horizon --- will require nothing less than the revolutionary overthrow of the very system that created these problems.

The Northwest Heatwave Killed Hundreds and Capitalists Won't Stop Fossil Fuel Extraction
Record-breaking temperatures were felt across the Pacific Northwest in the past week, affecting 13 million people and creating deadly wildfires and thunderstorms. The connection between extreme weather and climate change is as clear as ever, but neither Biden nor Trudeau are capable of taking meaningful action.

Ravaged by Climate Change: 400,000 On the Brink of Starvation in Madagascar
Over one million people in southern Madagascar are food insecure, while almost half a million are on the brink of starvation. Climate change is to blame, and capitalism ensures that the Global South will pay the highest price.
Churches Participated in Racism and Colonialism. Expropriate and Tax Them
The Catholic Church ran re-education schools for indigenous children in Canada that were rife with abuse and death. We must fight to hold the church accountable and demand that their land be expropriated and their profits taxed.
Ezra Brain
The Infrastructure Debate: Yet Another Sign of the Ongoing Crisis
The infrastructure debate shows once again that the ruling class cannot solve the contradictions of capitalism.
Profits Call the Tune
Profit is not a "gift of capital," and does not rely on investment. Profits can be generated out of the exploitation of labor power without further investment, and indeed, that is what we can see now in the expansion of 'fictitious capital' at the expense of productive investment.
Jeff Bezos Is Going into Space. Fingers Crossed He Won't Come Back
If Bezos, Musk and Co. want to go "off Earth," then let them. Our task is to ensure that at some point, when they come back, they'll find the completely irrational, exploitative system of capitalism on which their obscene wealth was based has been dismantled and replaced with a socialist society.
James Plested
From Black Wall Street to Black Capitalism
It was the super-exploitation of poor Black labor that facilitated both the function of Tulsa as a whole and the Black Wall Street District. Neither could have existed without the presence of poor Black people. Yet, their presence is rarely acknowledged in the revisionist plot.
Too Black


As they head into the 2012 campaign, Democrats are changing their definition of what it means to be rich. Forget about families making $250,000 a year. Today, the party is only interested in millionaires.
In speeches across the country, President Obama has vigorously demanded that "millionaires and billionaires" pay "their fair share" in taxes. Last month, the White House said tax reform should ensure that billionaires such as Warren Buffett pay at least as much of their income to the Internal Revenue Service as middle-class taxpayers do.
And on Wednesday came clear evidence of this shift: Senate Democratic leaders scrapped Obama's proposal to cover the cost of his jobs bill by raising taxes on income over $250,000 a year, the old Democratic standard for defining the wealthy. Instead, they are proposing a 5.6 percent surtax on annual income of more than $1 million.
Democrats say their new focus is intended to bolster support for Obama's jobs package. But its more important purpose is to clarify the party's economic agenda heading into next year's election.
Democrats have long argued that, in addition to cutting government spending, lawmakers should ask people at the top of the income spectrum to pay more in taxes to help tame the national debt. But setting the dividing line at $250,000, as Obama did during the 2008 campaign, "fuzzies the picture," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), the leading architect of the surtax proposal. "There are lots of people who either make $250,000 or are close" to it, Schumer said, particularly small-business owners and dual-income couples living in high-cost urban areas.
Republicans scoffed Wednesday at the ploy, which Democrats acknowledge is unlikely to succeed in its immediate goal of rallying support for Obama's $447 billion jobs package. Several Democrats, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), oppose increased spending in the bill at least as much as the tax hikes Obama urged as a way of covering the cost. No Republican is likely to vote for the measure, making it impossible for Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to muster the 60 votes needed to avert a filibuster when he opens debate on the bill as soon as next week.
GOP claims that there is more style than substance to the surtax gained support late Wednesday when Democrats abruptly upped the proposed levy to 5.6 percent from the 5 percent offered earlier in the day. After reporters peppered White House press secretary Jay Carney with questions about the wisdom of imposing the tax in January 2012, when the economy is likely to still be weak, Senate Democrats pushed the implementation date back a year. But that required raising the rate to ensure that the surtax generates enough cash over the next decade to cover the full 10-year cost of the jobs bill.
Still, polls show Democrats may be on to something. In a new Washington Post/ABC News survey, 75 percent of those polled said they support raising taxes on millionaires, including 57 percent of Republicans.
Republicans still hold an advantage on the tax issue, with 49 percent of those surveyed saying they trust Republicans to do a better job of handling taxes, compared with 39 percent who trust Obama — a 12-percentage-point swing toward the GOP since April. But Senate Democrats believe they now have a crisper message to carry to the voters and into debt-reduction talks this fall on Capitol Hill.
The White House on Wednesday offered support for the Senate's surtax plan, which would apply to investment income as well as wages and inherited wealth, pushing the top income tax rate to 40.6 percent in 2013 or to 45.2 percent if the George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire on schedule that year. It would replace a raft of tax hikes offered by the White House, the largest of which would have limited the value of itemized deductions for families earning more than $250,000 a year.
House Democrats, meanwhile, are reassessing their position on who is most deserving of higher taxes.
Rep. Sander M. Levin (Mich.), the senior Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, said ending the Bush tax cuts for families earning more than $250,000, as Obama pledged to do during the 2008 campaign, would generate about $39 billion a year. But the vast majority of that money — 79 percent, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation — would come from the 315,000 households that earn more than $1 million a year, the richest 0.2 percent of taxpayers.
Those taxpayers' incomes have risen sharply over the past three decades, Levin said — far more rapidly than households making closer to $250,000 or $300,000. Those families are well off by national standards, Levin said, but hardly rank among the super-rich.

Demonstration Advances to Produce Hydrogen Using Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Technology
09/06/2018 | Sonal Patel
Terrestrial Energy USA, a company that is developing a fourth-generation molten salt nuclear reactor, has joined forces with Southern Co. and several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs, in a research and development (R&D) project that seeks to pin down whether its reactor technology can produce hydrogen efficiently using nuclear heat and power.
The two-year-long project will examine how efficiently and economically Terrestial's Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) power plant can produce industrial-scale hydrogen. It will test a hybrid sulfur process, which is a carbon-free method of generating hydrogen from water and "may be more efficient than high-temperature steam electrolysis," Terrestrial said in a statement on September 5.
Essentially, the project "intends to demonstrate the commercial and industrial-scale viability of pairing the hybrid sulfur process with an IMSR power plant for large-scale production of hydrogen with zero greenhouse-gas emissions," it noted.
The R&D demonstration follows two decades of research at the DOE's Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL). Sandia National Laboratories and Idaho National Laboratory will also collaborate on the project.
Hydrogen's Game-Changing Potential
The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier has gained tremendous attention recently owing largely to the element's high flexibility. Hydrogen—the most abundant and lightest of elements—is odorless and nontoxic, and it has the highest energy content of common fuels by weight, which means it can be used in a full range of applications, from power generation to transportation and industry.
However, it is not found freely in nature and must be extracted (produced, or "reformed") via a separate energy source (such as power, heat, or light). The bulk of hydrogen is today produced using fossil energy, mostly by steam methane reforming of natural gas. Other widespread hydrogen-producing processes include partial oxidation and autothermal reforming.
Several experts at the World Gas Conference in Washington, D.C., this June noted hydrogen's emerging—and potentially "game-changing"—use for storage of renewable electricity (converted via water electrolysis). In that process, hydrogen can be converted to power and power converted to hydrogen. Hydrogen could also replace fossil fuels in the chemical industry, if captured carbon is combined with the element and used as chemical feedstock. Some experts noted that hydrogen can also be used to electrify applications that currently use diesel, and where batteries aren't a viable solution, such as to power heavy-duty transport—such as non-electrified trains or maritime transport. Others said that hydrogen could also be used for decentralized power production in a future energy system.
As Terrestial noted on Wednesday, by 2020, the hydrogen market is expected to reach $200 billion.
The Promise of Molten Salt Reactors
Interest in molten salt reactor technology has also kicked up of late. Molten salt reactors under consideration for future licensing by the Office of New Reactors, an arm of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), use either solid fuel or liquid fuel (fuel mixed with molten salt). The NRC notes that at least four molten-salt reactor designs are under development—Flibe Energy's 600-MWth LFTR (liquid-fluoride thorium reactor), Martingale's 557-MWth ThorCon, Transatomic Power's 1,250-MWth TAP (Transatomic Power), and Terrestial's 400-MWth IMSR. "The thermal spectrum liquid fuel reactors use a fluoride salt and some employ on-line removal of fission products and possibly actinides. Some have unique ways of adding fissile and fertile material," notes an April 2018 report from Brookhaven National Laboratory's Nuclear Science and Technology Department.
Terrestial's IMSR, which is a thermal-spectrum, graphite-moderated, molten-fluoride-salt reactor system, incorporates and refines many aspects of molten salt reactor operation demonstrated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960s. According to the company, the small modular reactor "extends the applicability of nuclear energy beyond its current footprint in on-grid electric power markets," to include chemical synthesis and desalination. The technology—which it says "can be brought to market in the 2020s"—also "promises to increase industrial competitiveness and energy security while concurrently driving deep decarbonization by displacing fossil fuel combustion across a broad industrial front."
According to SRNL, hybrid sulfur hydrogen generation is a two-step thermo-chemical cycle based on sulfur oxidation/reduction. A key step in the reaction is electrochemical water splitting using a sulfur dioxide–depolarized electrolyzer. SRNL says the demonstration could develop a "plausible path" to producing hydrogen gas using both thermal and electrical energy (78% thermal energy and 22% electrical energy) at a cost of less than $2/kilogram of hydrogen. Molten salt reactors are the "best choice" for high turn-down electrical power generation efficiency, it says. In a June 13, 2018, presentation, SRNL noted that total funding for the project to demonstrate the hybrid sulfur hydrogen production process integrated with a molten salt reactor would be equally cost-shared. The DOE's share is $525,000 and industry would pick up the remaining $525,000.
SRNL noted, however, that key barriers the project will face include the levelized cost of hydrogen, system energy efficiency, and total capital investment.

For Terrestial, the demonstration with a major utility like Southern Co. will be pivotal to bring its technology to industrial markets. "Using an IMSR power plant to produce hydrogen more efficiently and economically, is just one of many industrial applications of IMSR power plants beyond electricity generation," said Simon Irish, CEO of Terrestrial Energy USA. "Removing carbon from the production of hydrogen helps bring deep decarbonization into reach. It points the way to the production of carbon-neutral transport fuels and zero-emissions fertilizers."
In a statement on Wednesday, Noah Meeks, Southern Company research engineer and project manager, also lauded the demonstration's significance. "This is a potentially high-impact project that couples the benefits of molten salt reactors with the development of an advanced water-splitting process for hydrogen generation," he said. "With its history of innovation, Southern Company is looking forward to exploring this new technology with Terrestrial Energy USA."

When President Trump meets with aides to discuss policy or prepare for a speech, he may ask about the pros and cons of a new proposal. He may inquire about its possible effect. He may explore the best way to frame his case. But there is one thing he almost never does. "He very seldom asks how other presidents did this," said John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff.
Mr. Trump is the 45th president of the United States, but he has spent much of his first year in office defying the conventions and norms established by the previous 44, and transforming the presidency in ways that were once unimaginable. Under Mr. Trump, it has become a blunt instrument to advance personal, policy and political goals. He has revolutionized the way presidents deal with the world beyond 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, dispensing with the carefully modulated messaging of past chief executives in favor of no-holds-barred, crystal-breaking, us-against-them, damn-the-consequences blasts borne out of gut and grievance.
He has kept a business on the side; attacked the F.B.I., C.I.A. and other institutions he oversees; threatened to use his power against rivals; and waged war against members of his own party and even his own cabinet. He fired the man investigating his campaign and has not ruled out firing the one who took over. He has appealed to base instincts on race, religion and gender as no president has in generations. And he has rattled the nuclear saber more bombastically than it has been since the days of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Media pundits and the McCain-Lindsey Team are crowing with delight about how President Trump "emboldened" Syrian President Bashar Assad to again deploy chemical weapons against civilians, when POTUS raised the trial balloon of leaving Syria. However, they are missing the real point.
Mr. Trump did not embolden Mr. Putin and Mr. Assad. Mr. Putin desperately needs Mr. Trump in Syria. He needs a war. He needs an enemy. He wants the American military to stay. That is why chemical weapons were again used to kill children. It was a sure-fire way to keep the Syrian conflict going, to goad the U.S. military and NATO to attack, in order to keep the Russian population's focus off their terrible economic problems, to hate Americans, not the oligarchs stealing from the people.
A war in the Middle East also has another added benefit for the Kremlin. Oil prices are skyrocketing. This is good for Russia. This is good for the oligarchs. This is good for Mr. Putin. This is good for the millions of Muscovites who will benefit from increased cash flow from petroleum sales. This means jobs and higher incomes, which have been in short supply over the last few years.
Who cares if there is a war if the people who keep Mr. Putin in power get a lot more money from oil sales? The devaluing Russian ruble due to the crisis is also helpful. Mr. Putin sells oil in dollars, and a weakened ruble means a lot more money on the USD-RUB exchange to fill federal coffers. This means more social spending to keep the public happy and more military spending as well.
Mr. Putin has skillfully used the state media propaganda machine to gin up hatred of the West, who is once more attacking Mother Russia as they have done through the millennia. At least, that is how the preferred Kremlin narrative goes.
I am hearing today that the Russian general staff is declaring they will strike the source of any missile attack on Syria, whether they hit Russians or not.
Yes, it looks like we will have a war. It seems the leadership on both sides want it. Throughout human history, when two societal models become incompatible, war is inevitable.
Only the flyover people on both continents will suffer.

Here are some plays that jump out on DraftKings at each position for Monday's 11-game NBA main slate, along with some strategy unique to this slate.
Set your DraftKings fantasy basketball lineups here: NBA $400K Fadeaway [100K to 1st]
Point Guard
Worth Paying Up For: James Harden, Brooklyn Nets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves ($10,900)
Harden is averaging 1.49 DKFP per minute and now gets a juicy matchup against a Timberwolves team that is third in offensive pace and 27th in defensive efficiency. In addition, they boost the fantasy points per minute to point guards by a whopping 23.07% above league average, the most generous in the Association. Now, the Nets are favored by 11 points so the risk of a blowout is high. Since arriving in Brooklyn, in games that the final margin of victory was at least 10 points, Harden produced 51, 73, 80, 43.25, 54.25, 72.25, 62.5, 39.75, 61.5 and 41 DKFP. He'll be fine.
Best Bang For Your Buck: Saben Lee, Detroit Pistons vs. Toronto Raptors ($3,800)
Killian Hayes (hip) and Dennis Smith Jr. (back) are out, so the point guard depth chart for the Pistons is Lee at the top with Cory Joseph ($3,900) backing him up. Lee received the start last time out and played 25 minutes and contributed 25.25 DKFP. Joseph did play 29 minutes in that contest, but the game got out of hand, so he likely got extra run as a result. Lee is averaging 0.89 DKFP per minute while Joseph is at 0.8. The Raptors have been generous to point guards this season, boosting the fantasy points per minute by 6.19% above league average.
Shooting Guard
Worth Paying Up For: Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks ($8,500)
This is a pace-up spot for George as the Bucks play at the third-fastest pace in the league. In addition, the Clippers are favored by 2.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, so it should be a tight, competitive affair. The Bucks pack the paint on defense, giving up perimeter shots. As a result, they boost the fantasy points per minute to shooting guards by 6.23% above league average. George averages 1.25 DKFP per minute, but over the past two games, he's gone for 55.75 and 47.74 DKFP.
Best Bang For Your Buck: Derrick Rose, New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat ($4,900)
The game environment is one of the poorer ones on the slate. Miami is 26th in pace while New York is dead-last, and both teams land in the top 10 in defensive efficiency. With that said, when Rose is on the court, he garners a good usage rate and gets plenty of opportunities to produce fantasy goodies. In his return from a 10-game absence, Rose played 29 minutes, had a usage rate of 23.4% and hoisted up 15 shots, good for 21.75 DKFP. On the season, he's averaging 1.02 DKFP per minute.
Worth Paying Up For: Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder ($10,800)
Doncic missed the past two games due to a back injury and illness. In his last game played, he put up 29 DKFP. In addition, the Mavericks are favored by 11 points. Hopefully, all these factors lower the ownership percentage because his ceiling is as high as any on the slate. Doncic has scored over 80 DFKP in three games this season. In games that the winning margin has been 10 points or more, Doncic has scored 29, 53.25, 46.75, 57.5, 50, 42.75, 80.5, 51, 77.75, 56.5, 71.5, 58.75 and 48.25 DKFP. Doncic has a usage rate of 35.4% on the season, which has been over 40 in certain games, so if the Mavericks do blow out a team, he is going to be heavily involved in that outcome.
Best Bang For Your Buck: Marcus Morris Sr., Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks ($4,500)
Morris has started the past six games and has averaged 28.7 minutes, 11.3 shot attempts and 25.33 DKFP. His ability to shoot from the perimeter and stretch out defenses has been a perfect complement for George and Leonard. Is it a coincidence that the Clippers have won the six games that Morris has started? Well, the matchups probably had something to do with that, but his contributions have helped for sure. As mentioned in the George section above, the Bucks pack the paint and allow perimeter shots, so Morris should get plenty of open looks.
Worth Paying Up For: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks at Los Angeles Clippers ($10,870)
Giannis has scored 33 and 35.5 DKFP in the last two games he's played. Brad Stevens for president? The sky is falling! Sell, Mortimer, sell! He has been dealing with a sprained knee so that may have something to do with the decreased production as well. He's off the injury report for this game against the Clippers, so I'm assuming that he's rested and raring to go. On the season, he's averaging a ridiculous 1.64 DKFP per minute, and the last time he faced the Clippers, he went off for 71.5 DKFP. The spread is only 2.5 points so it should be competitive throughout. Giannis is the alpha and omega of this Bucks team and can contribute in so many ways, that the floor/ceiling combo is too much to ignore despite his recent struggles.
Best Bang For Your Buck: Taj Gibson, New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat ($4,200)
Mitchell Robinson fractured his foot on Saturday, so the center minutes in New York will be split between Nerlens Noel and Gibson going forward. In the past two games, Gibson has played 27 and 34 minutes, producing 27 and 29.5 DKFP. In the 34-minute game, he got the start at power forward because Julius Randle was out, so don't expect that playing time on the regular, but something in the mid-20s seems viable. On the season, he's averaging 0.73 DKFP per minute.
Worth Paying Up For: Nikola Vucevic, Chicago Bulls at Golden State Warriors ($9,300)
In his debut with the Bulls, Vucevic played 32 minutes and contributed 37.75 DKFP. The usage rate was 21.1% while in Orlando, that number was 28.6%. Now, it was the first game with new teammates so it remains to be seen how the usage pie will shake out but the cream usually rises to the top. In Orlando, Vucevic was averaging 1.42 DKFP per minute so the 1.19 number in his first game will likely go up with Monday being the prime spot for that to happen. The Warriors are the most generous to centers, boosting the fantasy points per minute by 19.93% above league average.
Best Bang For Your Buck: Kelly Olynyk, Houston Rockets at Memphis Grizzlies ($4,400)
Christian Wood ($8,400; illness) missed Saturday's game so Olynyk received the start, played 25 minutes and contributed 34.5 DKFP. Wood is questionable for this game due to an illness, so Olynyk could get another start. The variance is wide with Olynyk but the highs are high, as he's gone for over 40 DKFP in three games this season. Memphis boosts the fantasy points per minute to centers by 11.95% above league average, with a boost of 2.29% to 3-pointers, an Olynyk specialty.
Overall Lineup Strategy
The bubble-less NBA is turning into the Wild West ... just like NFL and MLB were. So first and foremost, following the news is always a must in the NBA, but now it's even more important. Make sure to follow @dklive on Twitter and download the DK Live app to stay up-to-date with all the latest news.
As of now, it looks to be a relatively low-scoring slate. I prefer a stars and scrubs approach in that scenario, as raw points and access to ceiling are valuable. There's also some decent value to make it work. With that said, a balanced approach is more than viable and can achieve victory. It comes down to philosophical preference. How will the field approach the three games with double-digit spreads? The Utah/Cleveland game doesn't have many enticing options but the Brooklyn/Minnesota and Dallas/Oklahoma City games do. There is also a very interesting late hammer with plenty of star power and a tight spread. I think ownership will be fairly spread out so there are many paths to victory.

Discuss about the Business Ethics in Hollywood Movies Erin Brockovich.
The film "Erin Brockovich" features a few moral issues from the point of view of the character Erin Brockovich. This film depends on a genuine tale about a battling single parent of three set for serve equity for the inhabitants of Hinkley, California, whose groundwater was debased by the illicit, lethal contamination practices of utilities goliath Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE), causing hurtful ailments and hereditary conditions for the occupants and also the PGE representatives under falsifications (Welsh, Justin. 20-25). Erin meets Ed Masry and the Masry law office because of a tragic fender bender and finds an occupation at the law office in urgent need to deal with her family in spite of her absence of involvement in the field and begins chipping away at the PG and E case.
Erin's Intentions, Investigative Techniques and Business Practices Ethical
There were a few moral issues in the motion picture. The principal moral issue that surfaces in the film are when asks concerning whether she could investigate the case further and Mr. Masry encourages her to continue. He should not have given her the expert to examine since she isn't a legal counselor and has no lawful experience (Cutting, James 42). All through the film, Erin was giving lawful insight illegally and Mr. Masry thought about that. For example, she promptly goes to the home of Donna Jenson, concedes she isn't a legal counselor, yet continues to make inquiries. She keeps on doing things that exclusive legitimate counsels are allowed to do, for example, offer exhortation to customers. Be that as it may, Erin does as such in a way to deal with secure their trust and advances toward getting to be companions with the residents (Fan, et al. 81) .
The other ethical issue that can be found in the motion picture is Erin's expert and moral conduct. From the way, she dressed to the methods she used to gather prove in the motion picture would as a rule not be allowable in court (ex. trespassing to pick up confirm, seek without warrant) In this film, Erin utilized her youngsters and capacity to utilize her" physical resources" to draw the townspeople into a confiding in relationship and get them associated with her firm case (Gritton, Jim, et al 50-63). Did she need involvement as well as she needed on relationship building abilities when it came to teaming up with other law offices?
Should the Lawyers Representing This Group Have Profited To Such As a Large Degree from That Settlement?
I strongly believe yes, the legal advisors speaking to the gathering should benefit from the settlement since what began as a land case including the buy of Donna Jensen's home by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) ended up being an entirely another story. Masry law office alongside Erin had examined and discovered confirmation to help their case after a great deal of research (Call, Margin. 55). As she read through the archives, she was befuddled when she discovered medicinal data incorporated into the document. Erin winds up suspicious and requests to additionally examine the case. In the wake of chatting with Donna Jensen, and additionally different occupants of Hinkley, she came to realize that they all had comparative therapeutic issues. Upon advance examination, she understood that PG&E was to blame since they were dumping chromium6 in the town water and it was harming the general population in Hinkley. At in the first place, the inhabitants were reluctant to conflict with PG&E on the grounds that they trusted that the organization has completed a considerable measure of use for the network. Erin made it her principle objective to induce the general population and she was set out to do whatever important to influence this extensive organization to pay for what they had done and the lives they destroyed. If it wasn't for the for the Masry law office with Erin on their side, to take the PG&E Company to the common court searching for remuneration for the benefit of the inhabitants/customers who ended up wiped out and ailing, the gathering wouldn't have won the case nor the settlement. Erin beyond any doubt worked hard but it was crafted by the legal counselors at court too who persuaded the judge (Castle, Jeremiah and Kyla100-120.).
Did Erin Deserve $2.0 Million For Her Work?
Indeed, Erin merited $2.0 million for her work however she was not proficient and did not have the required capabilities required for the activity. She might not have been the best illustrative for the inhabitants of Hinkley; the case was won on account of Erin's assurance and the diligent work she put in the social event the data. She strived to get the confirmation by wrongfully trespassing the premises of PG and E to get the example water prove and wantonly getting archives from the water board specialists. Thusly, she took a chance with her security and set aside her own needs for the occupants at Hinkley. She had won the trust of the occupants and truly thought about them. This helped in keeping up the spirit of the general population when they start to feel like the legal counselors are falling flat them (Elliott, Teressa and Catherine 97).
Thoughts Regarding the Ethical Best Practices When It Comes To Class Action Out-Of-Court Settlements and What Guidelines Would You Recommend To Make It Fair for All Claimants
With regards to class activity ecological or shopper claim, a portion of the moral practices that could be considered are: Correspondence with the potential individuals, Ensuring that portrayal of the class individuals isn't constrained, Restricting or wiping out offended parties Counsels' expenses., Irreconcilable circumstance rules are not effortlessly connected to class activities (Banks, Taunya Lovell 70- 101), . Regular issues of the inquirers must be altogether considered. For the situation, Amazon Undue Sales Tax Collection Canadian Class Action, the activity asserts that Amazon has been charging charges under affectations for items with zero assessment rates and distorting that business impose is expected under government and additionally common enactment when it was most certainly not. The class activity looks for harms in the measure of the undue deals charge, enthusiasm on the cash that was gathered unlawfully, and correctional harms (Teays, Wanda 12- 73).
With the records examined, appropriate pay in real money or generally should be given to the petitioners, if endured. These cases can either huge or little depending on the number of petitioners. To give a reasonable judgment, the preliminary or the claim must be founded on the degree of these harms endured. In the wake of breaking down the above, we can see that morals are an enormous piece of the direction of any business as far as expert morals and moral issues that emerge in a business domain. Numerous organizations typify these moral practices in their business choices regular with broad arrangements of approaches and systems (Cooley, Valerie, and Pennock. 88). In any case, untrustworthy practices are still practiced by a few firms and it is hard to totally beat them since organizations have a tendency to build the benefits for the proprietors to the detriment of others instead of being correct and ethically just.

Billed as a 'VideoCabaret News Special' presented by Factory Theatre in October 1995, Canada Or Can't was a political cabaret, that featured the work of more than forty artists (performers, musicians, designers, videographers).
Canada or Can't zoomed in for a big close-up on the Crabby Country and the Noisy Province, on the eve of the '95 Quebec Referendum, and featured the Debate the networks couldn't get, avec Messrs. Parizeau, Bouchard, Chretien, Johnson, Manning, Levesque and Trudeau.
Canada or Can't was hot-wired with live TV cameras and monitors, simulating a television broadcast, with a studio audience.

Magnetostatika proučava magnetska polja u sistemima gde su struje ravnomerne (ne menjaju se vremenom). Ona je magnetsko analogna u odnosu na elektrostatiku gde su naelektrisanja konstantna. Magnetizacija ne mora da bude statična; jednačine magnetostatike se mogu upotrebljavati da se predvidi brzo magnetsko prebacivanje što su događaji koji se dešavaju na vremenskoj skali od nekoliko nanosekundi ili manje. Magnetostatika je čak dobra aproksimacija čak i kada struje nisu statične – dokle god se struje ne menjaju brzo. Magnetostatika ima široku upotrebu u mikromagnetici kao što su modeli magnetskih uređaja za memorisanje.

Primene

Magnetostatika kao specijalni slučaj Maksvelovih jednačina
Počevši sa Maksvelovim jednačinama i pretpostavljajući da su naelektrisanja ili fiksna ili se kreću podjednako ravnomerno kao i struja , jednačine se dele na dve jednačine za električno polje (pogledati elektrostatiku) i dve za magnetsko polje. Polja su nezavisna u odnosu na vreme i u odnosu jedno na drugo. Magnetostatičke jednačine i u diferencijalnom obliku i u integralnom obliku su prikazane u tabeli ispod.

Prvi integral je preko površine  sa elementom koji se odnosi na površinu . Drugi je integral linije oko zatvorene petlje  sa elementom . Struja koja teče kroz petlju je .

Kvalitet ove aproksimacije može se proveriti poređenjem jednačina gore predstavljenih sa celovitom verzijom Maksvelovih jednačina a razmatranjane važnosti komponenti koje su uklonjene je od naročite važnosti poređenje  komponente sa  komponente . Ako je  komponenta poprilično veća onda manja komponenta može biti zanemarena bez većeg gubitka preciznosti.

Ponovno upoznavanaje sa Faradejevim zakonom
Uobičajena tehnika je da se reši niz magnetostatičkih problema uz dodatne vremenske korake i onda se koriste ta rešenja da se proceni komponenta . Ubacivanjem ovakvog rezultata u Faradejev zakon dovodi do rezultata  (što je prethodno bilo zanemareno). Ovaj metod nije istinito rešenje Maksvelovih jednačina, ali može da donese dobru aproksimaciju za sporo promenjiva polja.

Rešenja za magnetska polja

Izvori struje
Ako su sve struje u sistemu poznate (tj ako je dostupan potpuni opis (i.e., if a complete description of ) onda magnetsko polje može da se odredi na osnovu struja Bio-Savarovom jednačinom:

Ova tehnika uspeva kod problema gde je medijum vakuum ili vazduh ili slična materija relativne permeabilnosti od 1. Ovo uključuje kalemove sa vazdušnim jezgrom i transformatore sa vazdušnim jezgrom. Jedna prednost ove tehnike je to da geometrija komplesnog kalema može da se integriše u odeljke ili za veoma komplikovanu geometriju može se koristiti numerička integracija. Pošto se ova jednačina primarno koristi za rešavanje linearnih problema, potpun odgovor će biti zbir integrala svakog odeljka komponente.

Za probleme gde je dominantni magnetski materijal visoko permeabilno magnetsko jezgro sa relativno malim vazdušnim prolazima pristup magnetskog kola je koristan. Kada su vazdušni prolazi veliki u poređenju sa dužinom magnetskog kola, ograničenje postaje od važnosti i najčešće zahteva proračun konačnih elemenata. Proračun konačnih elemenata koristi modifikovani oblik magnetostatičkih jednačina gore pomenutih, za izračunavanje magnetskog potencijala. Vrednost  može se dobiti iz magnetskog potencijala.
Magnetsko polje se može izvesti iz vektorskog potencijala. Pošto je divergencija gustine magnetskog fluksa uvek nula,

i odnos vektorskog potencijala i struje je:

gde je  gustina naelektrisanja.

Magnetizacija
Visoko magnetni materijali (tj Feromagnetski, Ferimagnetski ili Paramagnetski) imaju magnetizaciju koja na prvom mestu zavisi od spina elektrona. Kod takvih materijala magnetizacija mora biti eksplicitno uključena koristeći odnos

Osim kod metala, elektične struje se mogu ignorisati. Onda je Amperov zakon jednostavno

Ovo ima opšte rešenje

Gde je  skalarni potencijal. Ubacujući ovo u Gausov zakon dobija se

Prema tome, divergencija magnetizacije, ima analognu ulogu u odnosu na električno naelektrisanje u elektrostatici i često se naziva efektivnom gustinom naelektrisanja  .

Metod vektorskog potencijala se takođe može upotrebiti za efektivnu gustinu naelektrisanja

We changed our plans, then changed them again. Originally, we had pencilled in a drive to the very southern tip of Spain, where on a clear day you can see Morocco, and where there is a supposedly wonderfully intact set of Roman ruins, Baelo Claudio.
From the start, I was skeptical that we could do this and still do everything else on our wish-list. I think Allan had forgotten how everything takes longer than you think it's going to, and how sleeping in a different town every night can mean not seeing anything very well. In Granada, it was time to firm up the flexible spots in our itinerary.
We love seeing Roman ruins. But we've seen a fair number of them. On our big trip in 1993 - we spent a month in France and Italy - we drove through Provence and saw a huge number of amazing Roman ruins. And of course, we've been to Rome. On the other hand, this current trip includes something we've never seen and may never see again: neolithic cave paintings. I have wanted to see cave paintings since I first read about the caves in Lescaux and Altamira (now both closed to the public). As soon as the Bilbao Guggenheim opened, and I saw its proximity to caves where there are paintings, I started thinking about going to Spain.
So cave paintings are a major incentive for this trip, and we have planned them for the very end. I was concerned that if we went to Baelo Claudia, we would never make it up to Basque Country in the north, and we'd end up seeing more Roman ruins, but no caves.
So we reconfigured the remaining part of the trip for less time in the south and more time in the north. Our plans for today were to drive to Ronda, walk around the town, then continue on to Zuheros, about an hour away from Cordoba - not spend the night in Ronda, but stay two nights in Zuheros.
We woke up in Grenada to the sound of cannon fire, or maybe kettle drums, or maybe fireworks. It was 8:00 a.m. and we have no idea what that was about.
After breakfast, we bought a few things at a small supermarket across from the hotel, then went to a tiny panderia (bakery) - so tiny that customers queue up in the street, because only one customer at a time can fit in the shop. We bought a wonderful fresh baguette, two pastries, and two cookies for 2.50 euros.
The lovely woman at our hotel, plus a gentleman who helped direct Allan out of our tiny parking spot, both assured us it was much easier to get out of town than it was to get in. Armed with great directions, we nervously hit the road, but had no problem finding the highway. We did stop once for directions, just to confirm. A man said "...go to the left," while motioning right. I said, "A la derecha?" ("To the right?") And he said, "Si, derecha" which tells you something about miscommunication! But we found the highway easily and soon I was navigating us to Ronda.
We stopped once to eat some of our ham, cheese, and bread, but otherwise were driving through beautiful, hilly orchards, with steep mountains in the distance. We could have taken fairly fast roads all the way to Ronda, but against my better judgement, we decided to use a tiny adjoining "cut-through" road. I knew that would be very slow and take us through mountains, and Allan said he also knew that, but... let's just say I don't think he understood how tiny and how slow that road would be. Or where he'd be driving. Allan is afraid of heights. Let it not be said I didn't warn him.
The road to Ronda turned out to be one of the more dramatic drives we've ever done, on par with the Big Sur coast in California or the Almalfi coast of Italy. (The latter we did by bus and Allan couldn't look out the window.) First we wound our way through two tiny "white towns" - the typical towns of Spain, with white-washed buildings and red-tiled roofs - called Andarle and El Burgos, then there were no towns.
The road was barely wide enough for one car. When a car approached from the other direction, Allan stopped and we held our breath. We went up and up and up, into the mountains, with a very steep drop-off on my side, and so close to the side of the road that I didn't want to look down. On all sides of us, there were dramatic rock outcroppings, and in the valleys there were pastures, with the occasional hacienda and pick-up truck visible. It looked a lot like scenery I've seen in the western US, with the same huge sky and dramatic peaks.
At one point, we found ourselves behind a herd of goats. A man and two dogs were working them down the road, then off the road and down the cliffs to the right. I scrambled for the camera and we drove slowly behind them until all the animals were safely off the road. I waved and yelled to the shepherd.
Another time we saw a nice dog sitting in the road. Allan looked very upset and was determined to continue driving. We have rescued some strays while traveling, and other times staggered away, heartbroken, from dogs we could not help. I thought we could at least take this dog to a town. I made Allan stop and ran back to the dog, but when I found it, I realized it was fine, just a country dog out for the day. She wasn't skinny, her coat looked good, and the last thing we want to do is abscond with somebody's dog. So I ran back to the car and tried to assure Allan, and we continued on.
This drive went on for hours, real white-knuckle driving, no more than 20 or 30 kms/hour. At the highest point, we stopped at a lookout with some information about the Seirra de las Nieves range. After that, the drop-off was on the driver's side, not ideal for our man behind the wheel! I'm pretty sure Allan was forcing himself not to look out his window.
When I noticed that it was 3:00 and the road was just beginning to flatten out towards Ronda, I suggested we spend the night there. Zuheros has to be three hours away. Did we really want to do that tonight?
We entered Ronda from the ordinary, non-historic part of town and put the car in an underground parking lot. We very quickly saw the train station and a hotel right across the street, and figured, what the hell, let's give it a go. At the Hotel Andalucia, the man said he had a vacancy... for 35 euros. Allan thought I heard wrong but no, it was 35 euros. I asked to see the room. It's a simple, clean room with a spotless bathroom, and a closet nearly as big as our hotel room in Paris. The hotel has a parking deal with the lot where our car is already parked, so overnight parking will cost 6 euros. Wifi is free and in all the rooms. Wow.
Next we had to change our reservation in Zuheros. I couldn't get it done through Hotels.com, so I called the hotel directly. They were very accommodating, allowing us to cancel one night on such short notice, but they said they did need to receive something from whatever internet site we booked with, or else they would be charged a commission for an unused room.
Trying to work with Hotels.com was awful. One, their phone number - which says, "A free call from anywhere, 24/7!" - is only free within the United States. Two, their number is listed as 1-800-CA-HOTELS, with no actual number given beside it. Does anyone have a phone with letters on it anymore?? There are millions of people traveling today who have never even seen a rotary phone with letters! After waiting on hold, and being transferred, the person who actually helped me wanted to keep me on hold while he called the hotel in Zuheros. I don't think so.
So that was awful, but we got it done, then headed off into Ronda.
We walked through the commercial area of town, a pedestrian-only mall, past a bullfighting ring, and down to the edge of town. Literally, the edge. There is a wall, beyond which the town drops off a cliff. You can see towns in the valley, then huge mountains in the distance. From the cliffs on this side of town, you can walk around a walkway to a bridge.
The bridge passes over a dramatic gorge, a huge steep drop, with giant stone finger-like projections on all sides, on top of which the town seems to be growing. On the other side of the bridge is the old, historic part of town, with narrow cobblestone streets, white houses with red roofs and wrought-iron gates, and a zillion schlocky touristy stores. Tacky, but beneath that, beautiful.
In between the two sides of town, upstream from the bridge, you can see the gorge, the rushing water, people walking up and down a scenic walkway, and in the distance, farms. It is very dramatic, very beautiful. From the old-city side, looking back on the bridge, you see the full height and impressive arches of the bridge. Allan couldn't get too close to the rail, so I took all the photos. Some view of Ronda, the gorge, and the bridge are here.
This town is supposedly a magnet for fans of Ernest Hemingway. Ronda's Wikipedia page mentions something about a bit of For Whom The Bell Tolls being based on Ronda. I re-read that novel only a month or so ago (I loved it), and I don't remember anything remotely like this town being in it.There are also pictures of Charlie Chaplin in several places, but I don't know why.
After our walk, we were ready for dinner, but it was still too early. The whole town appeared to be having coffee, ice cream, and dessert. Hundreds of families with children, older folks in groups, teenagers on dates, absolutely everyone, were gathered in dozens of cafes, gelaterias, and confiterias. After all, it was "only" 7:00 p.m.!
We reluctantly stopped for coffee and tea, at a cafe selling all manner of baked goodies and "bombs" (bonbons). When I ordered Allan's "the con leche", they made the tea with steamed milk, instead of water. That was new for us. We used the time to further reconfigure the rest of the trip. We're both concerned that things may take a long time in the north - that it may take time to get there or to find a cave tour. As I've said, it's a focal point of the trip, and we don't want it to be cut short. So we actually cut a day out of our planned three days in Madrid.
I only wanted to do one thing in Madrid: see painting at the three big museums. We are also meeting up with our friend David Heap! But I'm not particularly interested in running around Madrid seeing El Escorial and other famous sites, given the time and priorities of this trip. (Of course I'd see any city for any reason, and I'm sure Madrid has many things to recommend it, but in context of this trip: art only.) So now I will have two full days to see the greatest highlights from all three museums. It should work.
After planning over coffee, we found a simple place for dinner. We were clearly the "early bird special" at 7:30. We are both a bit tired of tapas. (Who knew such a thing could happen?) I want to have some great paella somewhere, but this is not paella country. The menus here favour game, stews (including bull-tail stew), and grilled fish. I had a version of huevos rancheros - scrambled eggs with potatoes and chorizos - and Allan had fried calmari that looked like fishsticks. We also had some kind of yummy white bean soup that was made with sausage. We drank vino verano and I had yet more coffee, and the bill barely scraped 20 euros.
This doesn't seem to be a big foodie area. Basque Country, in the north, is supposed to have some of the best food in Spain (or anywhere). I don't know if we'll find any, or perhaps it's impossible to miss. But somewhere, somewhere on this trip, will I get a big bowl of really good paella?
Our little hotel was super easy to find, because it's across from the train station. We were happy to see it again; it has been a long day. I called my mother, who was thrilled to hear from me. I called her two or three times on our long drive from Barcelona to Granada, but she wasn't in, and I knew she'd be massively disappointed to miss my call. She is reading this blog, and she has been to Ronda, among many other places in Spain. It was great to hear her voice!

Updated March 27, 2017 7:07 pm ET
Federal prosecutors are seeking about three years in prison for two former allies of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who were convicted of illegally closing lanes at the George Washington Bridge in 2013.
Lawyers for the former allies asked the judge for leniency, saying probation and community service would be more appropriate.
Bill Baroni, a former executive at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Bridget Kelly, a former aide to Mr. Christie, are scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J. Prosecutors said Mr. Baroni and Ms. Kelly were part of a scheme to create traffic jams in Fort Lee, N.J., to punish the borough's Democratic mayor for not endorsing Mr. Christie, a Republican.
Mr. Christie wasn't charged with wrongdoing.
In a filing made public Monday, prosecutors said Mr. Baroni and Ms. Kelly should be sentenced to "at the bottom of or modestly below" a range of 37 to 46 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The two committed a "monumental betrayal of the public trust," they said.


Welcome you to the community website for Willaston, Nantwich.
This is a website for our whole community…written by you …about you… for you.
We need your contributions to keep the site up-to-date with the many and varied things going on in our village.
Your village. Your say. Your Plan.
On the 7th December 2017, the Willaston Neighbourhood Plan was subject to a local referendum which returned an overwhelming (95.3%)vote in favour of using the Willaston Neighbourhood Development Plan to decide planning applications within the Willaston Neighbourhood Area.
Upon declaration of this result the Willaston Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the statutory development plan for Cheshire East Council.
The Green Gap is the green space around Willaston which keeps it as a village with its own identity. The Green Gap is in danger of losing its protection from development. The Willaston Green Gap Action Team is fighting to retain this protection….
Willaston & District History Group have been in existence six years and during that time have written and published a history of the village. The book proved so successful that all 500 copies have now been sold and so there are no more copies available.
In days gone by Willaston Nantwich extended down London Road and Crewe Road and over to Middlewich Road. This is why Willaston School was so named when it was built in 1900 and is not to be confused with Willaston Board School, later Willaston Council School, situated on Crewe Road near the Peacock roundabout. Since the boundary changes of 1936, it has now become within the Nantwich Urban District.
It is only some 2 years ago that the Group were contacted by Manchester College, Oxford to say that they had in their possession 240 glass lantern slides showing the activities of the school from 1900 to 1937 when it closed. They had just had the lantern slides digitised and would we be interested in them? After seeing that they were so good and getting permission to use them, the Group have written their second book about the school and its history. Some of these photographs are of great historical interest, for instance there are rare photographs taken at Shavington Zoo.
Details about the life of the school had been privately printed by some ex-pupils in 1970 but with no illustrations. This book combines both text and photographs and separate chapters have been written by several members of the Research Group. There is also a chapter on St. Joseph's approved school for boys which took over the premises in 1938. Many Nantwich people will recall these boys being good at woodwork, metalwork and especially gardening, and doing horticulture displays at Nantwich Show. There is also a section in this chapter about one particular boy from Liverpool who was there in the 1950s. There is a final chapter written by Rev. Michelle Nunn about the Elim Bible College who came in the mid 1980s and this brings us up to date.
The book launch took place at Nantwich Bookshop at 630pm on Friday 16th October. On the following day, Saturday 17th October there was an Open Day at Regents Park from 11am to 3pm in aid of Macmillan Nurses.
Copies of this book are obtainable through any committee member or alternatively through myself via Email at andrewlamberton1@gmail.com or tel 01270 662435 at £11.95.
Willaston is a village of approximately 1500 households and 3000 people and is situated between Nantwich and Crewe in Cheshire.
We have now started to build a directory of businesses which provide services to Willaston residents. Click here for details.

Integrated Follow-up and Review Approaches to Urban Sustainability
This brief presents five selected best practices that take an integrated approach to the Follow-up and Review (FuR) process for the global sustainability agendas at the local level.
Implementing the commitment to "leaving no one behind" in cities: What it means in practice
Cities Alliance, ODI and GIZ developed this background paper to explore what is new about the principle of leaving no one behind, and how local and national governments can act in a way that enables national progress to achieve the SDGs.
Advocacy and policy
Best Practices on Local Follow-up and Review
To spotlight some of the innovative ways local actors are accelerating the implementation of the global agendas, the JWP issued in May 2018 a call for best practices that take an integrated approach to the Follow-up and Review process.
Five best practices were selected, and we invited the top three (Mexico City, Italy and Colombia) to showcase their projects in two Cities Alliance events at the 2018 UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
Monitoreo CDMX (Mexico) is an online tool collecting data on a set of indicators that allows Mexico City's local administration to track progress on the 2030 Agenda and verify compliance with the SDGs. (Watch Oliver Castañeda, Coordinador General de Modernización Administrativa, México talk about the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qicZ1nO4-0k&t=14s)
#weResilient (Italy) brought together 100 municipalities to develop a regional strategy for integrating disaster-risk reduction and climate change resilient policies in urban planning. (Watch Alessandro Attolico, Executive Director for Territorial Planning and Development Province of Potenza, discuss the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HqRQLzNGAM)

National Urban Policies Programme
Cities Alliance is a member of the National Urban Policy (NUP) Programme, a tripartite initiative with UN-Habitat and the OCED, launched at the Habitat III Conference in 2016. The programme aims to support the development and implementation of NUPs globally as an essential component in building an enabling governance framework.
It will serve as a global platform and repository to share experience and provide tailored policy guidance and evidence-based analysis. The programme has already demonstrated some initial achievements, including the Second International Conference on NUP (May 2017, Paris) and the Global State of NUP report (February 2018 at the Ninth World Urban Forum).
The JWP awarded grants to the OECD and UN-Habitat to support the further development of the programme.
Know Your City: CoLab for Change video case studies
The CoLab for Change video case studies showcase the JWP's key message of inclusive partnerships.
They also highlight the need for local government to implement the successful tools developed by community organisations and civil society that generate inclusive urban policies and development.
The videos were launched at Habitat III in October 2016.
Cities Built Together Film
Through Shack/Slum Dwellers International (SDI), the JWP produced Cities Built Together, a self-contained film in broadcast quality that integrates the six CoLab for Change video case studies.
