Suspicious home explosion in Fairburn
Updated: Aug. 31, 2011, 3:35 p.m.
FAIRBURN, Ga. (AP) - Police say a woman whose body was found in the rubble of a Fairburn home that exploded was strangled to death.
The Fulton County medical examiner identified her as 34-year-old Beverly Bland, whose identity was confirmed through dental records.
Neighbors heard an explosion at the home around 2 p.m. Saturday, and Bland's body was one of two bodies discovered once the flames were extinguished.
CBS Atlanta reports that police are not releasing the identity of the second body, but said that person died of smoke inhalation.
Authorities said previously that they considered the blast suspicious, and that arson investigators were called to the scene.
Fairburn is about 20 miles southwest of Atlanta.

If you've been on an airplane, you've probably heard the airline stewardess give you the little safety spiel. How you buckle your seatbelt. What to do in case of a water landing. And what happens if those little oxygen masks drop down.
This last one probably doesn't seem so bad. "But I'm working on my clients' projects, I can't possibly spend time on my business when they're paying me to work on stuff for them." While on one hand that sounds good, it really isn't.

Undefeated Chen Rui knocks out Roman Alvarez at 'ONE: Reign of Valor' in Yangon, Myanmar
Chen Rui, Mitch Chilson
"The Ghost" Chen Rui, 22, of China is still an undefeated mixed martial artist. He was one of the winners at "ONE: Reign of Valor," the first ONE Championship event in 2019 held in Myanmar.
"ONE: Reign of Valor" featured nine MMA matches and five ONE Super Series contests, which are kickboxing bouts. In the fourth bout of the evening, Chen faced Roman "Boom" Alvarez, 24, of Guam in an MMA match in the bantamweight division with Kemp Cheng as the referee.
Chen remained undefeated in his ONE Championship debut. He and Alvarez put on a striking battle in the first round as the two traded combinations in the exciting first five minutes of action.
Midway through the second round, Chen dropped Alvarez with a well-placed uppercut to the head and followed up with a storm of punches to claim the stoppage victory. Cheng put a stop to the bout after 2 minutes and 48 seconds when the Chinese contender knocked out his Guamanian opponent.
"Thanks to ONE Championship for giving me a chance to come back and fight again," Chen said during his post-fight interview with Mitch Chilson in the cage. "I will perform a lot, lot (more) good show(s) in the future."
Winning at "ONE: Reign of Valor" improved Chen's professional MMA record to 7 wins and 0 loss. On the other hand, Alvarez now has 8 wins and 3 losses.
While Chen was one of the two fighters who represented China t "ONE: Reign of Valor," Alvarez was the sole representative of Guam. Australia, Cambodia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, Myanmar, the Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Thailand and the United Kingdom were also represented.
In 2015, Chen started his MMA training and started competing professionally right away. In 2016, he claimed the ONE Jakarta Bantamweight Tournament Championship title at "ONE: Titles and Titans" in Jakarta, Indonesia.
From 2017 to 2018, Chen competed in Rebel Fighting Championship. Here is a clip from the recent bout between Chen and Alvarez in Yangon:

A sixty minute documentary about competitive high school mariachi teams in south Texas.
Rainlake Productions hired us to create and implement an outreach campaign to promote the nationwide PBS premiere of Mariachi High. We researched organizations interested in education, music education, and the advancement of the Latino community and combined them with the contacts they had already made through Working Film's Reel Education program. With just six weeks until the premiere, we plowed through our lists and rallied organizations to spread the word about the premiere. In addition, we gathered momentum on Facebook and found a very active community that felt very passionate about the film. Our work even touched the white house, gaining attention during Vice President Biden's party for National Hispanic American History Month.


The U.S. Department of Transportation has developed new rules that stand to unlock all sorts of unique drone photos. Newly proposed rules from the U.S. Department of Transportation will allow flights over crowds and at night, subject to safety precautions. Currently, the FAA prohibits civilian drone flights over groups, and requires operators to keep the drone in visual range, below 400 feet. Furthermore, large areas around airports, helipads, and other restricted flight areas are off limits. These rules aren't expected change.
Operators of small drones, like DJI's Phantom and Mavic lines, are expected to fall into a middle category, where they can operate over individuals with safety modifications, like padding and rotor guards. Given the very light regulation of drones under a half pound, manufacturers would be incentivized to offer a very lightweight model, capable of operating under the least regulation.
Night flights will also be allowed, but will require special training, as well as requiring the drone be equipped with long range visibility lighting.
All modifications to the rules seem to hinge on a proposed rule that would require drones to broadcast an ID number and position, to enable government tracking. This rule hasn't yet been formalized, pushing these new rules further into the future.
These regulations come at an interesting time, as a serious disruption at Gatwick airport was believed to have been caused by a drone flight. The regulatory environment around drones has been unclear for a number of years, and many operators aren't aware of, or do not follow every rule currently on the books. The test for official licensing for commercial operation is time consuming, considering that it subjects operators to the same rules that hobbyists are already expected to follow.
While the rules haven't been updated yet, the proposed changes will allow the creation of a number of interesting shots, including closer photos of individuals, and points of interest at night.
they seem to be opersite of some FAA rules, how Wil they work out the differences?
The FAA is part of the Department of Transport, so I expect the regulations will be aligned to the DoT standard.
We just got some new rules up here in the snowy north as well... the main changes are mandatory registration and a basic knowledge test (which is anything but basic). It really simplified a lot of the nonsense that was going on before with overreaching/over reacting rules.
Have'nt looked into rules for a while but last time I went away with the distinct feeling that if one is law-abiding one would not fly a drone anywhere in Canada.
... and you would have been correct. The new rules really changes quite a bit now. Under the old (current) rules the only place I could fly was around my cottage. Even then the odd float plane uses the lake so my access was typically during the week when the area is deserted.
you reference Gatewick.. did you look into end result?
Total BS, it was a drone at Gatwick airport. BTW at least learn to spell it properly if you feel the need to spread lies.
Yet no proof at all beyond people just saying they saw a drone, and a huge amount of those accounts weren't related to the rogue drone.
I hate drones and wish their operators would have to get a permit each and every time they use them. Only scientists should use them in wildlife areas.

The fixed price model is all about stability and security. If you have a tight budget and don't feel like experimenting too much, the fixed price contract is the best solution, because it removes risk and gives you some control over what to expect from developers.
This model enables buyers to calculate expenses, set deadlines and requirements in a single contract. If you have strict deadlines and cost estimates, you'll avoid additional expenses during software development and after the launch of your product. A detailed and well-structured milestone system will make a project easier to manage for both sides.
This is a perfect solution for small or medium-sized companies that seek fast results with their short-term projects lasting no more than a few months. We will just add that this model doesn't mean you can't modify your projects while in production. If you have such a need, just create an additional agreement and re-estimate the final price in order to get your desired results.
Fixed price is a great strategy for those who want results but don't care about how they are achieved. This model assumes no active client involvement in development, so everything is pretty much controlled by the hired developers, o more likely their bosses.
So, the bottom line is that the fixed price model works pretty well in certain circumstances. If you don't plan on changing anything during development, have a detailed plan and trust the hired company, then the fixed price model can do wonders for your short-term project.
To achieve the best results customers should consider some additional incentives and penalties for a contractor depending on their performance. Within this model a service buyer will provide a vendor with bonuses for achieving important metrics or critical milestones. Consider negotiating this before signing a contract.
A fixed budget and deadlines simplify project management for customers.
Customers pay only for delivered results.
Customers don't need to worry about hiring new staff for short-term projects.
Most of the risks are taken by contractors – the client is not obligated to pay more to cover unexpected costs.
Lack of flexibility and potential tensions with contractors.
Sometimes contractors miscalculate the costs and time. It's not the customer's problem but a contractor could quit the project in a midway. Estimates should always be reasonable.


So research institutes are very happy, after all, they have a problem. Wine companies are happy, no matter how much, lichen prime is not a thing of foreign wine. Some media are happy and the annual tasks of the business sector are less difficult to complete. Some investors are happy, seeing this liquor plate is up non-stop.
Lichenysin is a substance secreted by Bacillus licheniformis, a bacterium that is widespread in nature. Chinese liquor is fermented with koji, while koji is actually a complex of fungi and bacteria. Each song inside the song is not the same, so the fermentation products are complex, creating a liquor "style and flavor diversity." As a passerby, Bacillus licheniformis mixed into the song, resulting in the fermentation products appeared lichen prime, that's no more normal.
How did that passer-by become a health guard? This goes back to thirty years ago, when domestic clinical microbiologists in our country particularly liked doing "bacteriostatic experiments," which is to see if a substance or strain can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in petri dishes. After all, Fleming discovered the penicillin eighty years ago. At that time there was a doctor to a patient's vaginal swab microbiological culture and found that in addition to the common Lactobacillus (normal vaginal flora, the resulting acidic environment can inhibit the growth of other harmful microorganisms) there is a strange, The result of the identification is Bacillus licheniformis. Laboratory studies have found that this bacterium grows well in acid environments made by Lactobacilli and can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
So for Bacillus licheniformis research started, continues today, is a variety of Bacillus licheniformis preparations, from diarrhea to vaginitis, a very wide range of uses.
Lichen, as a metabolite isolated from Bacillus licheniformis, has also been studied. Laboratory research found its various biological activities. However, tens of millions of laboratory research, can go to the clinic without one. Sometimes drugs can not be better, you can develop health products, ah, after all, as long as it is not bad on the line.
Licorice wine will be able to fight cancer? There are alcohol in the wine too!
What does it mean to have lichenin in liquor (or anything else you've never heard of)? First of all, it means that fermented liquor is very complex, what peat smell, nutty flavor, tobacco flavor, floral fruit flavor … That's nothing. Our wine can taste the smell of burning plastic and 80 different rotten leaves Taste, if you do not know "product" words. Second, mean that Professor Xu's laboratory testing technology has improved. Now that detection techniques are getting more accurate, trace detection can detect even 1 trillionth of such levels. So, what is found in what I'm not surprised, whether it is penguin DDT or liquor anti-cancer substances.
Speaking of anti-cancer, "logical discovery of traces of anti-cancer substances in the wine, so moderate drinking health" such a logical deduction can be called classic. Because no matter what kind of wine, alcohol is one of the important or main component, and alcohol is a type of carcinogen. Alcohol can cause oral cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer, the evidence is conclusive. In addition, other hazards of alcohol are more clearly understood. It is the sixth most common cause of death for adults in China and directly causes the death of more than 300,000 people each year.
If this is not enough to be on the waking eye, the next piece of data will make you even more "hypnotized" – nearly 14 million years of alcohol-induced DALY annually in China. DALY is the result of a factor that leads to the full healthy life lost from the onset to the death. In other words, if you do not drink alcohol at all, the Chinese live a healthy life of more than 14 million years a year. Think carefully.
How about Chinese drinking now? According to the research conducted by WHO and other public health agencies, the per capita annual pure alcohol intake of our population over the age of 15 in 2010 was 6.7 liters, which is the mid-stream level in the world. However, the survey found that our drinking rate is not high, about half of men over the age of 15 and over 80% of women over 15 said they do not drink. In this way, the per capita consumption of alcohol consumed by those who drink alcohol is as high as 15 liters or more, ranking the highest in the world. Even more worrying is that with the continuous decline in global per capita consumption of alcohol, we staged a "retrograde drunk beauty," and consumption continued to rise.
I also drink alcohol, although every drop of drink I drink brings me a higher health risk. But as the oldest human use of drugs, I know the health risks of drinking alcohol and try to keep those risks under control while enjoying its social function.
If a liquor company does not improve the taste and stability of its products, it does not explore the cultural value of the products, but rather the "health effects". What I think, no matter what, if it is done, it is a rogue. Both china and abroad.

Home > Sexual Assault > Law and Policy > International Legal Framework
International law recognizes rape and other acts of sexual violence as human rights violations in both times of peace and during the course of armed conflict. Acts of sexual violence that occur during armed conflict may also be considered violations of the laws of war (also referred to as international humanitarian law), crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide.
The international legal principles which apply to sexual violence and rape in particular are outlined in international conventions, declarations, conference documents, founding statutes for the International Criminal Court (ICC) and other international criminal tribunals, and cases decided by these international tribunals. These international agreements and the jurisprudence of international tribunals also provide definitions of the terms rape, sexual assault and/or sexual violence for the purpose of prosecuting perpetrators of these crimes and establishing principles to hold supervisors/commanders accountable for the atrocities committed by their subordinates.
International institutions, such as the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Health Organization, have developed standards for the treatment of victims of sexual violence and the prevention of sexual violence, especially as it affects refugee women. The U.N. Human Rights Commission has appointed Special Rapporteurs on Violence Against Women and on Torture whose mandates include documenting sexual violence as a human rights violation and reporting regional and national laws and policies relating to sexual violence, especially when it occurs to women who are detained by governmental authorities.
Definitions of Rape and Sexual Violence
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) has defined rape and sexual violence in very broad terms. The ICTR Trial Chamber in Prosecutor v. Jean-Paul Akeyesu (Case No. ICTR-96-4) defines rape as a "physical invasion of a sexual nature, committed on a person under circumstances which are coercive. The Tribunal considers sexual violence, which includes rape, as any act of a sexual nature which is committed on a person under circumstances which are coercive."
Other courts have defined rape more narrowly by requiring some kind of penetration. The Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concluded in Prosecutor v. Furundzija (Case No. IT-95-17/1) that the elements of rape common to most legal systems are "(1) sexual penetration, however slight; (a) of the vagina or anus of the victim by the penis of the perpetrator or any other object used by the perpetrator; or (b) of the mouth of the victim by the penis of the perpetrator; (2) by coercion or force or threat of force against the victim or a third person."
Please visit the Explore the Issue section for a more general discussion on what is sexual assault.
Individual Criminal Responsibility
International law establishes individual criminal responsibility for all persons who "planned, instigated, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted in the planning, preparation or execution of a crime," under Article 7 of the Statute for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
Sexual Violence is a Violation of International Human Rights Law
Sexual violence is a form of discrimination against women which violates the anti-discrimination provisions of a number of human rights instruments, for example the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights and the Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. Documents from U.N. conferences and reports of the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women have also reported on sexual violence as a prohibited form of discrimination against women.
Many scholars also consider sexual violence under certain circumstances to be a form of torture prohibited under the Torture Convention. International tribunals have also convicted individuals for sexual assault as a form of prohibited torture. For example, the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda recognized in Prosecutor v. Jean-Paul Akeyesu (Case No. ICTR-96-4), that:
like torture, rape is used for such purposes as intimidation, degradation, humiliation, discrimination, punishment, control or destruction of the person. Like torture, rape is a violation of personal dignity, and... in fact constitutes torture when it is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.
The Special Rapporteur on Torture also considers rape to be a form of torture: "[R]ape is a traumatic form of torture for the victim."
War Crimes and Violations of International Humanitarian Law
International humanitarian law prohibits sexual violence in the context of both international and internal conflicts.
The four Geneva Conventions of 1948 and the two 1977 Protocols Additional to the Geneva Conventions are the most important instruments of international humanitarian law. Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 states: "[W]omen shall be especially protected against any attack on their honor, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault." Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 defines "willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health," "torture," and "inhuman treatment" as war crimes and grave breaches of the conventions.
Human Rights Watch explains that "the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has recognized rape constitutes 'willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health' and thus should be treated as a grave breach of the convention. The ICRC has also stated that 'inhuman treatment' should be interpreted in light of Article 27 and its specific prohibition against rape. The Geneva Conventions specify that governments are obliged to find and punish those responsible for grave breaches and to make those accused available for trial."
Human Rights Watch further states that, "[a]s with international conflicts, humanitarian law clearly prohibits rape in internal conflicts. Rape committed or tolerated by any party to a non-international conflict is prohibited by Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions insofar as it constitutes 'violence to life and person,' 'cruel treatment,' 'torture,' or 'outrages upon personal dignity.' Moreover, Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions, which applies to conflicts between a government's and its opposition's armed forces that control territory within the country, prohibits 'outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment, rape, enforced prostitution and any form of indecent assault' committed by any party. The ICRC explains that this provision 'reaffirms and supplements Common Article 3 . . . [because] it became clear that it was necessary to strengthen . . . the protection of women . . . who may also be the victims of rape, enforced prostitution or indecent assault.'"

Article 6 of the 1945 Agreement for the Prosecution and Punishment of the Major War Criminals of the European Axis, and Charter of the International Military Tribunal (the Nuremberg Charter) defines crimes against humanity as:
murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated.
Rape has since been incorporated in the definition of crimes against humanity in the statutes of international criminal tribunals, including the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court.
Crimes against humanity are discriminatory in nature and must be committed against a civilian population and not against individuals. The successful prosecution of crimes against humanity requires a showing of systematic government planning of the crimes.
Rape as Genocide
Genocide is the most egregious crime against humanity. This crime has been codified in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. As the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda recognized in Prosecutor v. Jean-Paul Akeyesu (Case No. ICTR-96-4), a perpetrator of rape or other acts of sexual violence and his supervisor or commanding officer can be prosecuted for genocide if the prosecutor can demonstrate that the act was intended to physically or psychologically destroy a group.
Rape as Sexual Enslavement
Enslavement is also recognized as a crime against humanity. The ICTY in Prosecutor v. Kunarac (Foca)(Case No. IT-23-03) prosecuted crimes of sexual violence as a form of enslavement.

Energy conservation has become a matter of extreme interest at global level, but at individual level as well, given the fact that energy consumption has its repercussions on all of us. The effects that energy consumption has on the environment have determined world's nations to take measures that focus on energy conservation. The process of energy conservation does not address governments and state's institutions only, but individuals as well. Without individual support, these policies cannot attain their objectives. The following pages will focus on discussing the energy crisis that took place in California, beginning in the year 2000. The problem's causes will be discussed, followed by its consequences, and measures that were taken or that were supposed to be taken.
Over the past 30 years California has been established as a model in the energy conservation matter, a model that should be followed by other states as well. Even more, since 1974, California has managed to maintain energy consumption per individual at a constant level, unlike other regions in the United States (Mufson, 2007). These positive results were achieved through a combination of measures, including mandates, regulations, and high prices. California's state institutions have also managed to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, to maintain satisfying conditions for utility companies, and to encourage economic growth.
However, starting with the summer of 2000, California had to deal with an energy crisis. The crisis was divided into three directions in order to be better analyzed and dealt with. The three directions are: high wholesale electricity prices, intermittent power shortages, and three investor-owned utilities were facing severe financial problems (DOE, 2005).
Wholesale electricity prices have started to increase in California starting with June 2000. The average increase was of 270%, determining a price of $376.99 per MWh in December 2000. This situation led to increased retail electricity prices and the retail price freeze was eliminated. In order to put an end to this situation, California's Legislature established a ceiling of 6.5 cents per kwh.
Regarding intermittent power shortages, their number has significantly increased between 1999 and 2001. The number of situations where rotating blackouts were required has increased as well. In certain situations, voluntary curtailment of power usage was necessary.
The three utility companies that were affected by this situation were: PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E. PG&E was more than affected by the situation, since it went bankrupt in 2001. For SCE the estimated losses reached the value of $2.6 billion. As SDG&E is concerned, the company's situation was a little milder, since the losses reached only $447 million.
Specialists in the energetic field have not quite agreed on a set of specific factors that have influenced this problem. Industry leaders however, have their ideas about what the main contributing factors to this situation are. For example, one of the responsible factors is considered to be the investment in new power capacity, investment that was unable to keep up with the continuously increasing demand for electricity. This situation determined the generation capability to decrease. As a consequence, the State of California was forced to acquire out-of-state energy.
Also, during the year 2000, part of California's generation capability was not able to be put in use, which caused severe power shortages, in conditions of high demand. The uncertainty situation on the market determined the suppliers of PG&E and SCE to stop or to diminish the amount of energy supplied to these companies. The increase in wholesale electricity prices were determined by an increase in natural gas prices, on the one hand, and by the high cost of building the new power plant due to emissions requirements, on the other hand.
California's governor and the state's Legislature took a series of measures that were meant to diminish the impact of the crisis and to prevent further situations of this kind. After the Legislature's debates, two bills were passed in order to increase energy conservation and to speed up the construction of new plants. The conservation process was expected to have a 40% rate increase, and was supposed to bring its contribution to maintaining prices under control. The after-crisis recovery process took a longer time than expected because of opinion differences between California's governor and the state's Legislature.
However, the energy crisis has had it share of positive effects as well. This situation helped California's lawmakers to make a series of positive changes in the crisis management process, like: using separate committees that are supposed to manage the immediate crisis, using informal working groups in order to supplement the committee process, full appreciation of crisis consequences before taking any actions (Weintraub, 2002).
The general mitigation plan that was designed to increase energy conservation in the state included: supplementing low-income energy assistance programs - $120 million; supporting renewable energy and distributed power generation - $95 million; reducing energy consumption in agriculture - $70 million; giving incentives for efficient commercial lighting - $60 million; granting rebates for purchasing efficient air conditioning and appliances - $50 million; installing sophisticated meters to measure electricity consumption - $35 million; creating more efficient oil and gas pumping projects - $12 million; educating the public - $10 million; teaching school children about energy efficiency - $7 million.
California's Public Utility Commission diminished its buy-side price cap to $500 per megawatt on June 28, 2000. On August 1, 2000 the price was reduced to $250 per megawatt. On August 3, 2000 the CPUC established a rate stabilization plan for SDG&E in order to reduce prices for some of the company's residential and commercial customers. On August 30, 2000 the state's legislature established new rate caps of 6.5 cents per kwh.
On December 14, 2000 an order was issued which demanded that certain generators and power marketers to provide electricity to California's power system operator so that the number of power shortages to be diminished. Afterwards, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order as well that demanded remedies for wholesale power markets. In January, a 90 days temporary surcharge was implemented in order to raise rates. On February 2001 the state's governor authorized a power purchase under long-term contracts for sale to PG&E and SCE.
In March 2001 the 3 cents per kwh average rate increase was approved. The month that followed, California's governor came up with a plan that was designed to increase power supply, to increase energy conservation, and to stabilize the state electricity sector. This plan was followed by another, which belonged to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and that was designed in order to supplement stability, control, and price relief efforts. These plans were followed by a series of emergency bills.
The summer of 2001 brought an extended price mitigation and market monitoring plan from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In September 2001 the retail choice in California was suspended (DOE, 2005).
Some specialists in the field do not agree that the energy crisis in California was determined by an increased power demand. In a fact sheet issued by the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Government Reform, it is stated that "energy supply within California kept pace with demand. The total amount of electrical energy generated in California increased over 36% from 1991 to 2000. The increase in generation has far exceeded the state's 13% population increase and 19% consumption increase over the same period. However, due to drought and other factors, the availability of out-of-state energy supplies in 2000 was reduced" (Committee on Government Reform, 2002). Another fact that experts cannot agree on is related to the Clean Air Act, which some consider not to have interfered with California's electricity production, as clean air regulations allowed for power plants to function properly. The report also states that the real cause for this energy crisis is market manipulation combined with a flawed deregulatory scheme. Other specialists in the field consider that the measures taken by the state's governor and Legislature were taken too late.
However, any mitigation plan regarding energy conservation must be based on the state's institutions' planning, but it should also be supported at individual level as well. In other words, each individual should bring its contribution to reducing energy consumption. Therefore, after California's energy crisis, the energy conservation campaign that followed benefited from a lot of support from the state's citizens that understood the dimension of the problem and its consequences. Some considered this campaign to be the most successful in the state's history. California's Energy Commission made certain recommendation to homeowners that were meant to help reduce energy waste. These recommendations included: turning thermostat on heater to 68 degrees or bellow, closing heater vents in rooms not in use, closing shades and blinds in order to reduce heat loss, turning off nonessential electric lights, avoiding running large appliances, and others (Public Management Magazine, 2001).

I could talk about how much I love Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for a long time! My son and I went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for the first time in October 2010 and we both instantly fell in love with it! Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a hard ticket event (guests have to buy a special ticket to attend this event) is held on select nights in September and October at the Magic Kingdom. There are special shows (the Disney Villains come out to play), there is an amazing Halloween Parade, an incredible fireworks show, and Trick or Treating throughout the Magic Kingdom. Also kids and adults can come in costume and I would encourage you to come in costume to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party because it adds to the fun of the whole night!
The Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party officially starts at 7:00 pm. Your ticket to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is your park entrance ticket so you do not need a separate park entrance ticket!
I hope you and your family have a spooktacular time at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

As a Gypsy wanderer, it is important to find somewhere when you move, that sets down an anchor to still the soul and nourish one's need for community.
9 years ago, I moved to Manly after 10 years being in the bush, and found Manly Yoga to be that place.
The teachers are remarkable. The nurture holds true on any day, and most importantly when the tumult of life's challenges appear.
I am part of this place and it is part of me.
I'm on board to ride the next phase. Manly Yoga has a momentum that is about authenticity and honouring the very real ups and downs of this life as we do our best navigating the calm and the storm. Love it!
Hah! Who would have thought I would ever take up Yoga! However, following episodes of excruciating back pain due to disc bulges, my GP recommended that I try Yoga. Thankfully, she understood and respected the merits of preventative methods rather than simply trying to manage the damage and the pain, after the event!
Manly Yoga has changed my outlook in relation to my body and its functions and it's provided me with a new way of life. As a very busy school Principal, Manly Yoga has not only relieved the issues pertaining to my physical well-being, but I have learned how to approach life in a more balanced way. I respect my body and take a little time out from my ridiculously busy schedule to center myself and focus on my sense of self and harmony. Manly Yoga has given me balance in my life!
Manly Yoga is a very special, relaxed and friendly sanctuary where I go to spend bit of "me time" so that I can bring myself into alignment before or after work. The teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable and are always available to answer any questions that I have so that I can improve my yoga practices.
The thing I love about Manly Yoga is the variety of classes that enable me to choose the best class to suit me where I'm at, in myself, on a particular day. I particularly love the Meditation and Yoga Nidra (relaxation) classes that always make me feel very chilled out, which I know my family really appreciates!
I first came through the doors at Manly Yoga in 2009 because I was looking for a space to hold community acupuncture sessions. The energy of the place when you stepped through the gate was peaceful and sanctuary like. I began attending the classes and was struck by how quickly this style of yoga dropped me into a place of stillness. I became aware of the part of me that is always still, always watching. This has been a revelation for me and has inspired me to delve deeper into yoga's offerings.
Over the last 8 years Manly Yoga has become a cherished part of my life. The fabulous sense of community, the inspiring workshops, the joyous practice of singing mantra at the Havan and Kirtan nights, but most importantly, it is the quality of yogic knowledge offered and the high caliber of teachers that command such devotion to this style of yoga and our yoga center.
I entered the Manly Yoga Centre for the first time in 1991 and felt at peace instantly in that beautiful space and was intrigued by the style of yoga that was taught there. It's hard to put into words what Manly Yoga came to mean to me and my life, but over the ensuing years, it became immensely important on so many levels.
As an immigrant to Australia, it became my haven, my community, my spiritual home. What has kept me coming back for more, over so many years, has been the depth of the practices; I love how they both ground me and expand me as a person. I love how the teachers sprinkle their magic in class, each bringing their own unique flavor. I love the serenity yet vibrancy of the place, and I love all the people who make this yoga community so special.
Back in 1991 I was very shy and lacked confidence, but getting involved with Manly Yoga changed me over time. It taught me so much about myself, my capabilities, my limits, and my relationship to other people. I'm a much braver person today, more open to the world, more aware, and yes, happier in my skin. Manly Yoga Centre made me feel like I belonged somewhere in this world and has taught me to stand on my own two feet, putting to use all the yogic skills I've learned.
Much has changed at Manly Yoga over the years, but thankfully the heart of the place remains strong and beating. So I reckon I'll keep on coming back for more!
Manly Yoga is an incredibly welcoming and accepting studio for all people of all shapes and sizes.
The teachers are expert, their methods varied and they're always available to answer any questions or help with postures without making me feel awkward or exposed.
Manly Yoga has positively impacted all areas of my life and I am humbled and proud to be a part of such a generous and loving community.


o Geo-engineering is one outgrowth of our apparent learning disability about the law of unintended consequences. That law would be unleashed full-force once we started manipulating the oceans and atmosphere to create what one environmentalist calls "the Frankenplanet". Geo-engineering is like a grownup version of whack-a-mole, where hammering down one problem causes others to pop up, to our great surprise.
The type of geo-engineering I'm dissing here includes a variety of ambitious proposals such as dumping iron into the oceans to create huge blooms of algae to absorb carbon dioxide; spraying seawater into the sky to encourage cloud formation; and injecting sulphate particles into the atmosphere to reflect more sunlight into space.
My favorite is the space umbrella – a giant parasol deployed above the Earth to shade us from the sun's rays. According to The Economist, geo-engineers like this option because it's the most "scalable". In other words, if the atmosphere gets hotter, we can increase the size of the umbrella. Researchers calculate that an umbrella half the size of Brazil could offset half the warming expected over the next 100 years, assuming no cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Trying to conquer these downsides is great fun in the lab, but in real life we're talking about the planet's hospitality to living things, some of them sentient.
But what bothers me most about geo-engineering is this: It provides an excuse to avoid a profoundly important teachable moment. Climate change is painful proof positive that we are connected with and dependent upon the rest of the natural world. It tells us that our time as outlaws is over; we have reached the limits of the planet's capacity to tolerate abuse. Global climate change calls for an evolutionary shift in consciousness first, and technology second. And the technology we need is eco-engineering, not geo-engineering.
If we deny this moment and fail to "institutionalize" the revelation of connectedness in our science, engineering, policies and behaviors, we will have demonstrated for all time that 1) we are the ultimate invasive species, and 2) we are not the most intelligent species, and 3) when it comes to our own survival, we have no more willpower than lemmings.
In fact, this is more than a teachable moment. It's a moral moment because the lives we are affecting are virtually all species, all people including those least able to cope with climate change, and many generations of human beings to come.
I don't think that civilization is at stake with global warming. But I think that loss of the natural world we care about is at stake…As much as I sometimes wish we could find a civilization-wrecking outcome from global warming, because that would force people to cut emissions very quickly, I don't believe there is one. I think humans are amazingly adaptable and have amazing powers of isolating themselves from the environment by their technology, and those powers are not going to go away. And even human wants are very adaptable. So while I'm not claiming there won't be bad impacts from global warming — of course there will be, I spent my whole lifetime writing on that topic — I don't see it as a civilizational threat.
We can argue about the definition of "civilization" and whether climate change is a civilizational threat, but what's most disturbing is that a respected climate scientist believes that human well-being and the health of the biosphere are not necessarily connected – that if we bring about the "loss of the natural world", we humans will get along just fine. Technology will come to our rescue.
I'm not sure we have the technology to become a bubble-species. If we did, I assume Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert would still be somebody's home rather than a tourist attraction/research facility. But even if we had the ability to live without the natural world, would it qualify as living? Would we keep our souls if we were permanently unplugged from the rest of creation, or what was left of it?
To qualify for these funds, you must first demonstrate that you have learned to understand "the accumulated evolutionary wisdom" (the Economist's phrase) in natural systems. Until you can produce a fiber as strong as a spider's silk, for example, you have not shown that you are better engineers than nature.
Come back when you can show us how to protect our coastlines as well as natural systems once did and to prevent flooding as well as riverine ecosystems did before we destroyed them.
Come back when you have learned to build a levee that doesn't fail and when we've shown a sufficient attention span to keep our bridges from falling down. The geo-engineering projects you envision will require diligence forever, a level of commitment we have not yet demonstrated.
Come see me when you have created buildings that produce more energy than they use, cities that do not sprawl, and power plants that don't pollute. Show us the engineering solution to lifting the world's people out of poverty without bankrupting our natural capital.
Come back when you have stopped trying to be god-like and you have learned to be child-like, filled with wonder and curiosity at the natural world and anxious to learn what billions of years of evolution can teach us. Come back when you have the humility to acknowledge that your true laboratory is not in a building, but in the biosphere itself.
We don't have to be Luddites to draw the line at geo-engineering. There has never been a more urgent need, or more fertile ground, for intelligent invention. But for both moral and pragmatic reasons, invention must help us fulfill our potential as residents of the natural world, rather than striving to "live" apart from it.


The Exponential Festival is a little different from the many theater festivals setting up shop in venues across the city this month. It's exclusively based in Brooklyn, the material it champions is a little weirder and genre-expansive than what you might typically think of as "theater," and it runs longer, which means both more shows (a dizzying array, really) and more chances to see them. Some highlights include a new short play by Athena playwright Gracie Gardner, a double bill of comedy from Justin Linville and David Perez, a play based on the Talmud and Kung-Fu films, a dystopian psychosexual musical with a disco soundtrack, an intimate show involving one audience member and one performer, and A Doll's House, Part 3.


The statement that Chinese rights activist Xu Zhiyong read at his January 22 trial for gathering a crowd to disrupt public order, for which he received a four-year prison sentence.
The March 4 statement issued by former presidents Oscar Arias (Costa Rica), Fernando Henrique Cardoso (Brazil), Ricardo Lagos (Chile), and Alejandro Toledo (Peru) on the deteriorating situation in Venezuela.
The newly approved Tunisian constitution.
A December 2013 statement issued by the Civic Sector, one of the leading groups in the Ukrainian protests in the Maidan (a central square in Kyiv), seeking to set forth the principles of a new civic movement.


Director for Public Health Dr Niko Wuatai said the increase was mainly due to patients' failure to complete their treatment.
Wuatai said when people did not complete their six-month treatment, it eventually led to multi-drug resistant TB, more expensive to treat and harder to overcome.
"The hotspots in the country include National Capital District, Western and Gulf," he said.
National Capital District had the highest increase in the country with 3.3 per cent every year, he said.
Wuatai said TB was a disease associated with poverty, and with living conditions in settlement areas had supported the spread of the disease.
TB is caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium Tuberculosi and is an airborne disease that spreads through air.
This week in preparation for World TB Day, lead up activities by the Health Department and partners include awareness in schools and communities around Port Moresby.
World TB Day is commonly observed on the March 24 but in Port Moresby it will be on March 23 (tomorrow) at the Sir John Guise Indoor Stadium.
Wuatai encouraged people to attend to learn how to avoid the disease and how preventative measures.
The Health Department along with Childfund, World Vision, Medicine Sans Frontiers and others agencies would set up booths and talk about the disease.


The Wailing (Goksung) may look daunting from the outset. An Asian horror film, which is a genre that's received more malign than praise over the years. It also lasts over 150 minutes, which is incredibly long for a film. Despite that, this movie is well worth sitting through. Especially, if you are a fan of horror or thriller films. Not only because it is incredibly well made, but because it leaves a lasting impression on your mind for days after you've seen it.
The plot follows Jong-Goo (Do-won Kwak), a local cop who is forced to investigate a series of bizarre murders in the small village of Goksung, South Korea. They appear to have been sparked by the arrival of a Japanese stranger played by Jun Kunimara.
It is knee deep in the superstition and mysticism of South Korean culture. Admittedly there are aspects of this movie that will go over the head of your typical Western viewer. For example, there are many references to nature spirits, mystical artifacts, and South Korean history. I had to personally research these plot points to get a better understanding of the true nature of the film.
The movie starts with a weird of sense of levity and comedy that is not typically expected in a Na Hong-jin film. This is simply to lull the viewer, thus making the emotional hits of the movie even more brutal and shocking. Hong-Jin does a great job naturally changing the tone of the film, not forcing the turn.
All the actors did spectacular job in the film, specifically though Do-won Kwak. He had one the best character progressions seen in any movie this year. He began as a bumbling and gullible fool who was pretty incompetent at his job. Something happens to him midway through the film that transforms him into a driven man. By the end, he is hardly recognizable. It's pretty heartbreaking.
It may not appear like that at first, but there is a purpose for the dialogue and layout of every scene. Along with the character actions as well. This is why although you may be left wondering "what the hell happened?" When the credits roll, it does all make sense if you paid extra close attention to the film. The final scenes will keep you at the edge of your seat and will stay engraved in your mind.
Overall Thoughts: 9.5 Out of 10 This brilliantly directed South Korean thriller by Na Hong-Jin is one of the most thrilling and captivating films of 2016. In my opinion this is a modern day Exorcist. What that movie did for Western Christian faith is what the Wailing did for Korean mysticism and Christianity. So if you are looking for something to watch on Netflix, check out the Wailing. You will not regret it.


My first fling with volunteering was through VNQ for the Glendi festival 2018 helping with surveys and ad hoc tasks. Not only did I get food vouchers for amazing Greek feasts throughout the day, my dog did as well. Hanging out with my dog all day, talking to the community, and eating Greek food is hardly work. That's how it all started. The following month I spent stalking the VNQ position listings where I found my perfect position as an English teacher for refugee families. I previously worked as an English teacher overseas and VNQ gave me an amazing opportunity to reopen that career path that I enjoyed so much and I have not looked back.

Fanny von Arnstein, Franziska svobodná paní von Arnstein, rozená Vögele Itzig (29. listopadu 1758 Berlín — 8. června 1818 Baden u Vídně) byla rakouská filantropka.

Život
Narodila se v rodině berlínského židovského bankéře a majitele továren Daniela Itziga a jeho manželky Mariane (Miriam) rozené Wulffové (1725–1788). Měla pět bratrů a devět sester. V rodině se jí dostalo širokého vzdělání. Byla velmi sečtělá a věnovala se rovněž hře na kalvír.

V roce 1776 se provdala za vídeňského bankéře Nathana Adama von Arnstein (1748–1838), který byl rovněž švédským generálním konzulem. Přestěhovala se s manželem do Vídně. Kvůli svému náboženství a pruskému původu se zde setkávala s opovržením a diskriminací. Proto se snažila o sblížení židovských a křesťanských kruhů.

Jako žena bankéře přinesla z Berlína do Vídně nový koncept: hudební a literární salon, kde se scházeli přední literáti, umělci, diplomaté i politici.

Tento salon nabyl obzvláštního významu v době konání Vídeňského kongresu a je zmiňován v pamětech mnoha osobností té doby. Mezi návštěvníky patřili například Madame de Staël, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Wilhelm von Humboldt, vévoda z Wellingtonu, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, Karl August von Hardenberg, Rahel Varnhagen, August Wilhelm Schlegel, Justinus Kerner, Caroline Pichler nebo Zacharias Werner.

V roce 1814 přinesla Fanny von Arnstein z Pruska nový zvyk: vánoční stromeček.

V roce 1812 byla rovněž spoluzakladatelkou Společnost přátel hudby (Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde).

Její jediná dcera Henrietta, baronka Pereira-Arnstein (1780–1859), byla také nadanou hudebnicí a udržovala pravidelnou korespondenci se svou sestřenicí Leou Salomon, manželkou Abrahama Mendelssohna a matkou Felixe a Fanny Mendelssohnových (která byla pojmenována právě po Fanny Arnstein).

WEST DEPTFORD, N.J. – Jordan Flowers has grown up in the scooter business, working for four different family run, mobility related businesses over the years. His latest, Vintage Vehicles USA, which officially launched in January, combines his passions for function and aesthetics. Here's what Flowers had to say about why it's the right time for a company that sells nearly $7,000 scooters that look like vintage vehicles.
HME News: How did Vintage Vehicles come to fruition?
Jordan Flowers: I met Vinzenz Hohl of Rehasys at an international trade show, where we were exhibiting for Active Controls (a manufacturer of drive controls for standard and complex power wheelchairs). He had a great concept that I had been thinking about for years—making scooters look like classic automobiles so they're more relevant to customers. We've become their U.S. distributor.
HME: Why are scooters that look like vintage vehicles more relevant?
Flowers: Baby boomers have an issue with getting old—they don't want to buy anything mobility related. That's why we changed the name of the company from Vintage Mobility to Vintage Vehicles. These scooters are cool enough that we're marketing not only to people with disabilities and people who are getting older, but also to people who live in retirement communities or who have large estates who just want a way to get around.
HME: You're selling the scooters through the HME provider channel?
Flowers: Yes, we're giving them the first crack at it. It's perfect timing, with the return of retail sales to the HME industry. The whole industry is turning its back on Medicare and insurance, and least-expensive products. They're flipping back to cash sales and to feature-rich and quality driven products. A mobility provider who has this scooter in his showroom—it knocks people's socks off.
HME: You were at Medtrade in the fall of 2017. What was the reception there?
Flowers: I knew we were a hit when we sold out all of our available demo units. This was before the first production units arrived in early December.
HME: You currently offer a Gatsby model. What's next?
Flowers: We're working with them on developing accessories for the market. At our request, they're working on a heavier duty version with a bigger battery and motor. Our next design is based on a '57 Chevy pickup truck.
HME: What keeps you keep innovating, specifically in this industry?
Flowers: It's fun. And you go to bed feeling good having helped someone continue to get around. I've had a passion for it my whole life, growing up in the business, riding scooters around.

FCC Proposes ATSC 3.0 Deployment
A plan for voluntary adoption the "next-generation" television broadcasting transmission standard known as ATSC 3.0 has been proposed at the Federal Communications Commission, which represents a seminal event in the development of the standard.

WASHINGTON—A plan for voluntary adoption the "next-generation" television broadcasting transmission standard known as ATSC 3.0 has been proposed at the Federal Communications Commission, which represents a seminal event in the development of the standard.
"We propose to authorize television broadcasters to use the 'Next-Generation' broadcast television transmission standard associated with recent work of the Advanced Television Systems Committee on a voluntary, market-driven basis, while they continue to deliver current-generation digital television broadcast service, using the ATSC 1.0 standard to their viewers," a 49-page Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released today stated.
Comments will be due on the NPRM 60 days after publication in the Federal Register; replies, 90 days after publication.
Both the National Association of Broadcasters and a spokesman for ONE Media, the Sinclair Broadcast subsidiary and ATSC 3.0 skunkworks, welcomed the news.
"We're delighted that the commission will be issuing the rulemaking notice soon with the significant commitment of Chairman Pai to move quickly to final rules," said Jerry Fritz, executive vice president of ONE Media. "The benefit for viewers and broadcasters alike are as profound as any developed in the past 90 years. The timing to implement the new standard in conjunction with the repack is a practical and strategic imperative."
From Dennis Wharton, NAB executive vice president of communications: "NAB strongly supports the FCC moving ahead on two proceedings of significant importance to broadcasters—a rulemaking on Next-Gen television and an AM revitalization order. Both items will foster technological innovation, increase opportunities for minority and female owners, and create new and unique services for consumers.
"Chairman Pai deserves credit for departing from the past practice of both Republican and Democratic-controlled Commissions, and publicly releasing the proposals early to inject greater transparency in the FCC rulemaking process. We believe this action will provide greater clarity for stakeholders and greater trust from the public in dealing with the FCC going forward."
TV Technology got it's behind whipped on this one by sister publication B&C's John Eggerton, who had the scoop, plus newly installed FCC Chairman Ajit Pai contributed a blog post on the deployment of ATSC 3.0 to B&C, in which he states, "Broadcasting remains an indispensable part of America's communications landscape."
Your humble servants at TV Technology will now dive into the 49-page order and report back with details. (Addendum, as promised, "FCC@3.0: OET-69, Public Interest, Yes; Tuner Edict, No,")

Addendum: Statement of Mark Richer, ATSC president:
"The development of ATSC 3.0 is a landmark in broadcasting, with hundreds of the best technical minds in the industry working on this next generation technology. The ATSC sees the commission's Notice as another important step forward for Next-Gen TV. Core elements of the ATSC 3.0 standard already are approved and proven, which we hope will give the FCC and broadcasters confidence for voluntary implementation of ATSC 3.0. We'll look forward to seeing how various stakeholders respond to the commission's Notice, and we're hopeful that the NPRM process will be completed in a timely manner."
