Top-of-Mind for Data Center Leaders: Our Environmental Legacy
Infrastructure Masons Advisory Council members discuss responsibility for the environment, and how there's still time to make a difference.
This is the second in a series of eight blog posts reflecting the top-of-mind issues discussed during the most recent Infrastructure Masons Advisory Council meeting. Among the fourteen Advisory Council members there are five end users and eight partners. They are infrastructure leaders at hyperscale tech companies, colocation providers, mission critical equipment providers, and mission critical facility engineering, design and operation firms.
The data center industry's environmental legacy
What is the data center industry's environmental legacy? Will data center industry leaders owe the next generation an apology? Consensus among Advisory Council members is that there is still time to make a difference on sustainability – and that it is "our responsibility."
One of the deepest topics of conversation during the Advisory Council meeting was responsibility – and sustainability. Why now? As one partner put it, "We are so close to the threshold. If we go beyond a two-degree rise in global temperatures the process is irreversible since CO2 stays around for 100 years. The next five years are essential. If we miss this window, we are screwed." (Or, as Bill Paxton might put it: "Game over, man.")
The partner added, "Sustainability is more important than ever in a world where the head of the EPA is someone who doesn't accept global warming. It's more important than ever to have companies that act responsibly. When the government denies the obvious then it's up to responsible companies."
"Sustainability is more important than ever. It's more important than ever for companies to act responsibly." – Click to tweet
More than one end user expressed a feeling of responsibility for the environment. "We [hyperscale end users] are scaling more rapidly than any industry before us has. We're shaving down mountains and bulldozing trees. But what are we doing collectively rather than individually, bad or good? What kind of world are we leaving for our kids?"
There was broad agreement around the potentially tremendous power in the collective of the Infrastructure Masons. As one end user described, "People have said to us [hyperscale end users], 'We trust your company more than we trust the government to look out for the environment.'" Another end user agreed, adding, "If we move as an industry to try to change this stuff it's so much more powerful. The government isn't going to take care of this. It is our responsibility."
Infrastructure Masons founder and chairman Dean Nelson asked the group, "Five years from now when they call on iMasons, what are they calling on us to do? That's why we're a group of individuals, not company representatives. What we do as part of Infrastructure Masons shouldn't change when we change jobs, because we can have an impact regardless of what company we work at."
Another end user said, "What are we doing that will truly change the world – collectively not just individually. Now how do we actually change the future?" The same end user shared the emotional experience of writing a letter to his kids describing his legacy. Would his letter be just two words long? "I'm sorry."
"What are we doing that will truly change the world – collectively, not just individually? How do we actually change the future?" – Click to tweet
It's essential to think beyond our own borders, said one partner. "Let's stop looking at the U.S. government. We're global. What we do impacts people all over the world. Our supply chains are global. Our impact is global."
Another partner agreed. "If we build in emerging markets like we've built in the U.S., it will be completely unsupportable and it will cast a dark cloud over us in those markets. But if you flip it you could go into emerging markets and not only have all the benefits of the data center but also additional benefits like clean water."
There was broad agreement among partners and end users that the data center industry needs to "move away from using water." One partner said his data center cooling technology could actually clean water. "Data centers could be part of the solution to key challenges, like clean water access, in emerging markets. You can actually clean water so the data center doesn't need potable water. Imagine data centers grabbing ditch water and cleaning it for the local community instead of going in and saying 'We want 100 million gallons of potable water for our data center.'"
Renewables and efficiency
There was broad agreement among the Advisory Council members that sustainability means increasing adoption of renewable energy to power the data center as well as increasing the efficiency of energy and water use.
For example, one partner explained how he is working with customers to procure green energy – for the company's colocation facilities and even its customers' other facilities. Another partner, also a colocation provider, talked about focusing on efficiency to reduce the amount of energy the data center consumes.
"Sustainability means increasing adoption of renewable energy and increasing the efficiency of energy and water use." – Click to tweet
Both partners are focused on reducing water consumption in the data center, applying innovating cooling methods to achieve that. And both agree that Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) is an important metric to include as part of the Data Center Performance Index (DCPI). Taking climate zone into account for WUE is as important as taking it into account for PUE.
An industry-wide standard
Efficiency and environmental impact are two of the three metrics currently included in the Data Center Performance Index (the other is availability). All three metrics are valuable factors for site selection, said one end user, who called site selection a key top-of-mind issue. One partner said, "Finding an objective, quantifiable metric for evaluating performance and risk is enormously important in any business but particularly the data center business."
"Finding an objective, quantifiable metric for evaluating performance and risk is enormously important in any business but particularly the data center business." – Click to tweet
But partners expressed concern about maintaining the legitimacy of the standard without turning Infrastructure Masons into a bureaucratic auditing body. "We're talking about having people self-report their metrics but that is potentially challenging because there is an inherent benefit to looking better. There's an incentive not to report bad metrics. So DCPI scores have to be audited, but how do you do that without significant overhead? That's a challenge for the group – how to make it so people don't have a disincentive to report bad metrics but still be lean and not turn into a big bureaucracy."
Having an industry standard like the DCPI can be a strong step toward making the data center industry's environmental legacy a positive one. But it's only one step. There's still time to make a difference, but the time to act is now.
Come back next week for the 3rd installment in our top-of-mind series and hear from the Advisory Council on shifting power and shifting priorities.

Q: How to add a ref to a 1 header file in the Makefile To refer to a folder containig header files (.h) I add the following line to my Makefile
CFLAGS+=-I/any/folder/include/

Now I want to refer to only one file in the folder.
I tried
CFLAGS+=-I/any/folder/include/any.h

But it does not work
How I can refer to only one header file in a folder?

A: You can't really grant visibility to single header files out of folders containing other files using plain gcc compiler flags.
A better to avoid header collisions would be to put the relevant headers in a folder with a meaningful name, e.g.
/any/folder/include/foo

Then add /any/folder/include to the include search path
CPPFLAGS += I/any/folder/include

and in your source code
#include "foo/any.h"

A: If using GCC:
CFLAGS += -include /path/to/file.h

For MSVC:
CFLAGS += -FI path/to/file.h

That will include file.h at the begging of every source file compiled with those CFLAGS.

EDIT: Since I now understand what you are trying to do:
Just change the order in which headers are passed to the compiler, putting that one at the end. So it will search all the others first.

I love it! This video totally cracks me up! I don't know what my favorite part is.... B sleeping through it all... H going to town... CJ going to town... or the funny noises at the end. You two are a couple of Raving Rabbids alright!!
Fun game! It was fun to watch, too.
H did great for her first time playing. I thought CJ might knock her over or giver her a little bump to the side just so she could win.
I also like CJ's little kick that she does while she's playing. It's cute.
OK, you guys are on crack. I'm thinking a lot of wine was drunk. Bill passed out and Red going to town with the Wii.
that was awesome. I wish I was there.
Hey - why wasn't I invited over?
That's quite the creative video!
i've never played Wii, now i want to!
OMG! I just watched it again for like the umpteenth time but this time I watched it on FULL SCREEN mode and it is even better!! I highly recommend it.
We miss you, too, Ronia!!!
Wii looks like too much fun. Wheeee! You guys crack me up.
I think my favorite part is at the end when you both think the game is over and then suddenly you both kick into action and start circling the remote around.
Although H going to town with her tongue hanging out is pretty darn funny.
The whole thing is just F-U-N-N-Y!
I can't believe you put that on there! What was up with my mouth? Good grief! That was too much FUN! I love the Wii with the girlz! :) Yes--my husband is a party animal... :) Although he and Belle had lots of wine and port...Rock ON! H.
OMG, that looks like such a blast!
Wow -- thanks I think my life reached an all time High?! watching that.
Hahahahaha! Last time I tried that I nearly knocked the hound out cold, the controller flew out my hand and lamped him one!
Brilliant, the guy in the corner is the icing on top. C'mon, more please!


I hired John Grogan to serve court papers for my small claims case. He took $100 as a money order and NEVER delivered the paperwork and will not answer phone calls. This has messed up my case and now I need to refile because he never gave me his proof of service. Do not EVER use this man for anything.


I am an eclectic artist schooled in fine arts. My entire career spanning 40+ years was in jewelry design and model making; I have painted, sculpted, and been involved in industrial design. I now dedicate my time to Netsuke carving. Japanese art is for me the ultimate expression of human aesthetic.
I am an international award wining jewelry designer with 22 national and international awards, as well as an accomplished master goldsmith, sculptor, netsukishi/netsuke carver.
Born in Bucharest Romania, I came to Canada in 1962. Studied fine art at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, University of Montreal, specifically sculpture. Studied all facets of jewelry design and fabrication at the school for Applied Arts Pforzheim, Germany. Acquired extensive industrial design experience in the process of designing jewelry stores and plant facilities.
I have been a Japanophile and collector of Japanese art since my twenties; after retiring from jewelry mgf recently, I decided to dedicate all my artistic endeavors to the carving of contemporary Netsukes.

Alice Cooper to Star in NBC's Live 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Musical
Dave Lifton Published: December 8, 2017
Alice Cooper, the son of a preacher, is set to put his religious upbringing to the test. He's going to portray King Herod in made-for-TV production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Directed by five-time Tony Award nominee David Leveaux, Jesus Christ Superstar Live will air on NBC, fittingly, on Easter Sunday, April 1, 2018.
It will be the second time Cooper has portrayed the king, whose sole number is "King Herod's Song (Try it and See)." A recording that was released in 2000 featured Cooper, in the same role, joining the cast of a 1996 London revival of the show.
Alice Cooper Performs "King Herod's Song (Try it and See)"
"Alice Cooper, whose theatricality is the stuff of legend, is the perfect rock star to play Herod in our live production," Robert Greenblatt of NBC Entertainment said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote a showstopping musical number for Herod, and we all look forward to the 'King of Shock Rock' taking on the King of Judea. As the casting for Superstar ramps up, we can feel the excitement building for this brand new concert experience of what has long been considered the original rock musical."
"Excited to join the cast of @NBC's #JesusChristSuperstar Live as King Herod!" Cooper tweeted. "Get ready to rock out this Easter Sunday."
Back in 2014, former Sex Pistol John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon, who famously called himself the Antichrist in "Anarchy in the U.K.," had signed on to play King Herod in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar that had planned to tour arenas across North America. However, the entire tour was scrapped less than two weeks before the first performance.

The officers of the CID had gone to the home of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa this morning in order to obtain a statement from him in connection with the abduction and assault of Journalist Keith Noyahr.
According to reports the CID officers had gone to the former President's home a short while ago.
Journalist Keith Noyahr was abducted from near his home on Waidya Road, Dehiwela on May 22, 2008 and was subsequently released several days later having been tortured severely.
The CID had also recorded a statement from Speaker Karu Jayasuriya earlier regarding the abduction.

306 F. 2d 260 - Amos Treat Co v. Securities and Exchange Commission
306 F2d 260 Amos Treat Co v. Securities and Exchange Commission
113 U.S.App.D.C. 100
AMOS TREAT & CO., Inc., et al., Appellants,
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION et al., Appellees.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued May 3, 1962.
Decided May 11, 1962, Petition for Rehearing En Banc Denied
June 14, 1962.
Mr. James M. Landis, Washington, D.C., for appellants.
Mr. David Ferber, Associate Gen. Counsel, S.E.C., with whom Messrs. John A. Dudley and Michael Joseph, Attys., S.E.C., were on the pleadings, for appellees.
Before WILBUR K. MILLER, Chief Judge, and DANAHER, Circuit judge.
DANAHER, Circuit Judge.
Appellant, Amos Treat & Co., Inc., is a New York corporation registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C.A. 78o(b). Individual appellants, Treat and DeFelice, are respectively President and Secretary-Treasurer of Treat & Co. The Commission issued its order January 17, 1962 directing a public hearing looking to the possible revocation or suspension of the broker-dealer registration of Treat & Co., its possible suspension or expulsion from the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., 15A(l)(2), 15 U.S.C.A. 78o-3(l)(2), and a determination as to whether or not the individual co-plaintiffs should be named as 'causes' of any such orders, in which event they would effectively be 'debarred from continuing in the securities business.' 15A(b)(4), 15 U.S.C.A. 78o-3(b)(4).
Alleging a denial of due process for reasons to be discussed, appellants in the District Court sought an order enjoining the Commission, its individual members, and its agents, pendente lite, and permanently from further prosecution of the revocation proceeding pending in the Commission's New York Regional Office and that the appellees be ordered to vacate and discontinue that proceeding. On April 30, 1962, relief was denied on the ground that appellants had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies since a final order had not been entered in the administrative proceeding, and on the further ground that, even should a final order be entered, review might be sought in this court pursuant to 25 of the 1934 Act, 15 U.S.C.A. 78y. On appeal that same day, this court stayed further proceedings pending our further order, and on May 3, 1962, the parties appeared and were heard at length.
Were we confronted simply with claims of procedural irregularity in the conduct of the proceedings before the Hearing Examiner and in the action of the Commission with respect thereto, we would be bound to dismiss the instant appeal. R. A. Holman & Co. v. Securities and Exchange Commission, 112 U.S.App.D.C. 43, 299 F.2d 127, cert. denied, 370 U.S. 911, 82 S.Ct. 1257, 8 L.Ed.2d 404; UNA Chapter, Flight Eng. I. Ass'n v. National Mediation Bd., 111 U.S.App.D.C. 121, 294 F.2d 905, 909 (1961), cert. denied, 368 U.S. 956, 82 S.Ct. 394, 7 L.Ed.2d 388 (1962). Here, however, we have a problem going quite beyond the ex parte communications between the staff and the Commission, and the ex parte Commission action with respect to certain rulings as to some of which, at least, applications for relief had not even then been made by the appellants. Ex parte representations by the Regional Administrator and the staff without notice to the appellants, serious enough in and of themselves, nevertheless might have developed not to be of a fundamental nature, and, upon the whole record, could have resulted in rulings which we would review in ultimate course after the entry of a final Commission order. Such irregularities, subject to review upon the whole record, would have provided no basis for action by the District Court, and lacking jurisdiction, its order would have been quite correct.
Here, however, we have a verified complaint, the allegations of which have not been controverted. Briefly summarized, the complaint alleges that on December 11, 1959, South Bay Industries, Inc. filed a registration statement, effective March 23, 1960, as to which Treat & Co. became managing underwriter and sold shares of South Bay stock to the public. About October 1960, the Commission's Division of Corporation Finance instituted an informal section 8(e) investigation1 as to the circumstances and events concerning South Bay's registration statement. About April 1961, the Division of Corporation Finance reported information to the Commission on the basis of which the Commission ordered the institution of a fomral examination and investigation. At the times mentioned, while the informal investigation was in process and when the formal examination was initiated, and during part of the time while it was conducted, Manuel F. Cohen was director of the Commission's Division of Corporation Finance 'responsible to the Commission for the initiation, conduct and supervision' of the proceedings. October 11, 1961, Mr. Cohen became a member of the Commission. December 4, 1961, the investigation having been concluded, the Commission acting on recommendations by its Division of Corporation Finance, instituted proceedings pursuant to section 8(d) of the Act, 15 U.S.C.A. 77h(d) to suspend the effectiveness of the South Bay registration statement listing. Prosecution of that proceeding was assigned to the Commission's Division of Corporation Finance and is still pending.
The Commission on January 17, 1962 issued its order setting forth charges that Treat & Co. had wilfully violated the Act, and that the appellants had solicited persons to purchase the stock of South Bay Industries, Inc., and in doing so, had made false and misleading statements of material facts, and had omitted to set forth material facts known or which should have been known to the appellants. Similar allegations were made with respect to activities of the appellants concerning the stock of two other corporations.
A public hearing was ordered, and various rulings or actions by the Commission, it is alleged, had important impact on the proceedings before the Hearing Examiner. As of February 15, 1962, the Commission issued a ruling deemed critical by the appellants who thereupon sought information as to the identity of the Commissioners who had participated in its promulgation. They were informed that a 'quorum consisting of three Commissioners had participated, and that Commissioner Cohen was one of the three.' Appellants alleged that prior to that time they 'had no knowledge that he was participating in, or intended to participate in, any of the quasi-judicial functions of the Commission relating to the revocation proceeding.' Appellants thereupon sought permission of the Hearing Examiner to take appropriate steps with respect to 'Commissioner Cohen's disqualification' and with respect to his participation in certain other matters involving questioned rulings. A recess was granted for that purpose.
Appellants moved that the Commission discontinue the revocation proceedings 'by reason of Commissioner Cohen's unlawful participation and the unlawful ex parte communications between the Commission and the members of its staff engaged in the prosecution of the case.' Appellants also sought full information as to the extent and nature and the number of instances of participation by Member Cohen with respect to the matters complained of.
The Commission granted oral argument as to the motion for discontinuance, and the alternative motion of the appellants that 'an evidentiary hearing be held to determine whether any members of the Commission were disqualified with respect to past or future proceedings and the facts relating to the ex parte representations, so as to enable the Commission to then determine whether to grant a discontinuance.'
On April 11, 1962, the Commission denied appellants' motion for a discontinuance and alternative motion for an opportunity to adduce further evidence on the facts, and ruled that 'section 5(c) of the Administrative Procedure Act' does not apply to Commissioner Cohen since 'he has now become an agency member.' The Commission further ruled that Commissioner Cohen was not disqualified from participation in the revocation proceeding, but expressed its intention to honor Commissioner Cohen's stated 'preference' not to participate in further proceedings.
Appended to the Commission's April 11, 1962 'minute' order was a written statement prepared by Commissioner Cohen outlining his recollection and conclusions with respect to the various proceedings which had been conducted while he was the director of the Division of Corporation Finance and stating the extent to which he had participated in the actions taken by the Commission.
Appellants alleged that participation by Commissioner Cohen had rendered the proceedings void and so irrevocably tainted that any final determination which might flow from such proceedings will be invalid. It is our view that a substantial showing has been made.
Just exactly how the concept of 'due process' is to be applied will vary with the type of proceeding involved, as we are well aware.
'Its exact boundaries are undefinable, and its content varies according to specific factual contexts. Thus, when governmental agencies adjudicate or make binding determinations which directly affect the legal rights of individuals, it is imperative that those agencies use the procedures which have traditionally been associated with the judicial process.'2
At the very least, quasi-judicial proceedings entail a fair trial. As the Supreme Court has said in other context:
'A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process. Fairness of course requires an absence of actual bias in the trial of cases. But our system of law has always endeavored to prevent even the probability of unfairness.
'It would be very strange if our system of law permitted a judge to act as a grand jury and then try the very persons accused as a result of his investigations. * * * Having been a part of that process a judge cannot be, in the very nature of things, wholly disinterested in the conviction or acquittal of those accused. * * * Fair trials are too important a part of our free society to let prosecuting judges be trial judges of the charges they prefer.'3
Stated otherwise with respect to agency adjudicatory proceedings, due process might be said to mean at least 'fair play.'
'One of these essentials is the resolution of contested questions by an impartial and disintertested tribunal. These adjectives are not absolute but relative as every thoughtful person knows. Decisions affecting human beings, made by human beings, necessarily are colored by the sum total of the thoughts and emotions of those responsible for the decision. The judicial process, or any other human process, cannot operate in a vacuum. The most we can hope for is that persons charged with the responsibility for decisions affecting other people's lives and property will be as objective a humanly possible. Certain rules, of more or less definiteness, have been worked out through judicial decision by judges to regulate their own conduct. * * *4 We conclude that in this case the facts, if proved, show a case which goes beyond the line of fair dealing with a particular litigant. If the circumstances alleged are proved Berkshire did not have a hearing before an impartial tribunal, but one in which one member of the body which made exceedingly important findings of fact had already thrown his weight on the other side. * * * It goes further and, in our judgment, it goes beyond that which is permissible from the standpoint of either litigants or public.
'The Board argues that at worst the evidence only shows that one member of the body making the adjudication was not in a position to judge impartially. We deem this answer insufficient. Litigants are entitled to an impartial tribunal whether it consists of one man or twenty and there is no way which we know of whereby the influence of one upon the others can be quantitatively measured.'5
The principles thus stated underlay our opinion in Trans World Airlines v. Civil Aeronautics Board where one who had been Solicitor of the Post Office Department signed a brief to the Board in behalf of the Postmaster General and thereafter became a member of the Board. In that capacity he cast certain votes on a point at issue. We then said:
'It is plain that in this statute Congress contemplated an adjudicatory proceeding and conferred upon the Board in this respect quasijudicial functions. The fundamental requirements of fairness in the performance of such functions require at least that one who participates in a case on behalf of any party, whether actively or merely formally by being on pleadings or briefs, take no part in the decision of that case by any tribunal on which he may thereafter sit. The order is vacated and the case remanded to the Board for reconsideration.'6
This was not a case where the petitioners had waited until the entire hearing had been held before they moved that a Board member be disqualified.7 Nor is it a case where the agency had not been given an opportunity to pass in first instance upon the claimed disqualification of its own members.8
Here, the appellants had moved, at least alternatively, for an evidentiary hearing to develop the facts, some appreciation of the need for which may be gleaned from Commissioner Cohen's own statement of April 11, 1962. There, admittedly, he had participated for many months as director of the Division of Corporation Finance. Thereafter he participated as a member of the Commission.
The Commission would have us say that appellants' complaint on this score may be considered in an ultimate review of a final order. It is argued further that in any event the final clause of 5 U.S.C.A. 1004(c) excludes Commissioner Cohen from the prohibition to be found in the earlier portion of the section. The language relied upon reads 'nor shall it be applicable in any manner to the agency or any member or members of the body comprising the agency.' We find no basis for that contention.
Nor is the fact that under other circumstances 'irregularities' at the hearing level may ultimately be the subject of administrative review.9 We are confronted by a situation where the asserted infirmity is fundamental. Quite apart from the ordinary review authority conferred by the Securities Exchange Act, the courts may 'restrain the enforcement of an invalid administrative order * * *.'10 The right to be vindicated here is one which comes within the judicial function, as Chief Justice Hughes pointed out for a unanimous Court in Nelson Bros.
We find quite inadequate for dispositive purposes, the 'minute' order of the Commission issued on April 11, 1962 with its attached statement by Commissioner Cohen. It is not enough that here no corruption has been charged, indeed appellants expressly disclaim personal bias and prejudice. What must control is the policy this court has previously applied and the principles, discernible from the cases and from the statute, that the investigative as well as the prosecuting arm of the agency must be kept separate from the decisional function.
Commissioner Cohen in his ex parte statement purports to speak to 'the best' of his recollection with respect to the prospectus and the registration statement of South Bay and the memorandum prepared by his staff containing a statement of the facts uncovered during the preliminary investigation as a result of which areas of further inquiry were outlined. We, of course, can not go back of his statement-- we have no other facts. His files revealed, he said, copies of 'three brief memoranda of telephone conversations' by the staff personnel. Yet in behalf of his Division he had appeared before the Commission in connection with acceleration of the effective dates of certain registration statements filed 'by issuers other than South Bay, in which Amos Treat & Co. Inc. was named as an underwriter.' He then officially discussed with the Commission the general policy to be followed.
After his accession to membership on the Commission, the Division of Corporation Finance made certain recommendations, discussed the facts developed during the course of the investigation and outlined matters proposed to be established. 'Apart from receiving and considering this recommendation as a member of the Commission,' he was not consulted, he said. Again, his statement shows, he considered a memorandum in January 1962 which had discussed the basis for the staff recommendation, the theory of the case and the matters the staff expected to establish. 'Apart from receiving and considering this recommendation as a member of the Commission,' he was not consulted, he wrote. Commissioner Cohen concluded his statement of April 11, 1962 with the request that the Commission itself pass on the question as to his qualification to act.
17 C.F.R. 200.60 (Supp.1962) of the Commission's regulations reads as follows:
'Qualifications to participate in particular matters.
'The question in a particular matter rests with that individual member. Each member should weigh carefully the question of his qualification with respect to any matter wherein he or any relatives or former business associates or clients are involved. He should disqualify himself in the event he obtained knowledge prior to becoming a member of the facts at issue before him in a quasi-judicial proceeding, or in other types of proceeding in any matter involving parties in whom he has any interest or relationship directly or indirectly. If an interested person suggests that a member should disqualify himself in a particular matter because of bias or prejudice, the member shall be the judge of his own qualification.' And 5 U.S.C.A. 1004(c) provides that
'No officer, employee, or agent engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions for any agency in any case shall, in that or a factually related case, participate or advise in the decision, recommended decision, or agency review pursuant to section 1007 of this title except as witness or counsel in public proceedings.'
Notwithstanding the statute and the regulation, after consideration of Commissioner Cohen's statement, the 'other members of the Commission concluded that, even aside from the fact the exclusionary provisions of Section 5(c) of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply to members of the Commission, Commissioner Cohen was not disqualified from participating in the proceedings.'
We find ourselves unable to endorse that conclusion for the reasons previously stated. Section 5(c) applied to Commissioner Cohen as director of the Division of Corporation Finance. Its prohibitory impact followed him and attended when he became a member of the Commission.
It is our view that the exclusionary sentence relied upon was intended to permit one who is a Commissioner to participate in a decision of the Commission that an investigation go forward and even that charges be filed to the end that an adjudicatory proceeding might be initiated. In such circumstances, it was the purpose of Congress as we construe the section, to permit a Commissioner to participate in the ultimate decisional process, and not otherwise.
We are unable to accept the view that a member of an investigative or prosecuting staff may initiate an investigation, weigh its results, perhaps then recommend the filing of charges, and thereafter become a member of that commission or agency, participate in adjudicatory proceedings, join in commission or agency rulings and ultimately pass upon the possible amenability of the respondents to the administrative orders of the commission or agency. So to hold, in our view, would be tantamount to that denial of administrative due process against which both the Congress and the courts have inveighed.
Enough has been said to demonstrate the basis for our conclusion that an administrative hearing of such importance and vast potential consequences must be attended, not only with every element of fairness but with the very appearance of complete fairness. Only thus can the tribunal conducting a quasi-adjudicatory proceeding meet the basic requirement of due process.
Accordingly, solely on due process grounds,11 we conclude the District Court had jurisdiction to entertain appellants' claim as has this court to review the court's order denying relief. Our order will provide that if the Commission be so advised, appellants are to be charged and to be heard in proceedings in which Commissioner Cohen will not have participated.12 But in new proceedings the Commission may utilize and consider all material gathered and recommendations submitted by the Division of Corporation Finance. Restated, the public agency, with respect to the charges under inquiry, is entitled to the benefits of the services of its staff member Manuel F. Cohen, while so serving, but not to participation by him as a Commission member.
The Commission seems to think that any such conclusion might bar all revocation and related proceedings against these appellants. Not at all. The national public interest set forth in section 2 of the Act13 is paramount, and the Commission is to be permitted to conduct appropriate proceedings in aid of performance of the duties entrusted to it.
Our order reversing the order of the District Court accordingly is to be without prejudice to the institution of new proceedings against these appellants, if the Commission be so advised, and our order and the resulting order of the District Court will so provide.14 The District Court will issue a preliminary injunction restraining further conduct of the proceedings instituted pursuant to the Commission's order of January 17, 1962. An order will issue directing the Commission to show cause within twenty days why a permanent injunction shall not be entered as to which it shall be a sufficient response if the Commission in the alternative shall:
(1) within that period, advise the District Court that the Commission has instituted a full evidentiary hearing for the purpose of determining upon a complete record whether or not any Commissioner should have been disqualified for the reasons we have discussed because of prior staff service; and the Commission shall thereafter submit a full report and the record upon which it is based to the District Court, and upon consideration of such report and record, the District Court may then dissolve the preliminary injunction and discharge the rule to show cause or enter a permanent injunction as it may be advised in the light of this opinion; or
(2) within that period, advise the District Court that the Commission has terminated the proceeding against the appellants initiated pursuant to the January 17, 1962 order, whereupon the District Court shall dissolve the preliminary injunction and discharge the rule to show cause.

It may be noted the Commission in its April 11, 1962 order deemed it advisable to issue a 'restatement of relevant issues' and otherwise defined the future scope of the proceedings and the nature of the evidence deemed relevant to its purposes. It is not our function nor within the ambit of our authority with the case in its present posture to pass on that order, and we expressly refrain from doing so. Should new proceedings be instituted, it may seem that all parties may benefit from clarification and definition of the issues and previously controverted rulings with respect thereto

In the traditional, Forms-based Oracle Applications environment, the JVM (which in earlier releases was Oracle JInitiator) was run as part of the standard Applications sign-on process.Now,with the move to a mainly HTML-based environment, the JVM (now the J2SE Plug-in)is only invoked when a user chooses to access functions that require it, such as running a form. The Forms client applet no longer uses browser JVM for this instead uses the plug-in.
In particular, E-Business Suite Release 12 uses OracleAS 10g 10.1.2 for Forms & Reports Services, replacing the 8.0.6-based ORACLE_HOME provided by the Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.2 in E-Business Suite Release 11i. In addition, E-Business Suite Release 12 uses OracleAS 10g 10.1.3 for Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J), replacing the 8.1.7-based ORACLE_HOME provided by Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.2 in E-Business Suite Release 11i.
Using an Instance Home provides the ability to share Applications and technology stack code among multiple instances,for example a development instance and a test instance.Equally,the centralization of configuration log files for a particular instance makes their management simpler.
Instance Home - Provides the ability to share Applications and technology stack code among multiple instances,for example a development instance and a test instance.
Shared APPL_TOP means only APPL_TOP and COMN_TOP are shared across application tier node but in case of shared application file system, entire application tier file system is shared.
Now let's take a look at the new security feature Multi-Org Access control.
In 11i, when a user had to enter or process data for multiple operating units, he or she had to login to different responsibilities because each responsibility could only access one operating unit. So if you had a centralized payment processing center where a single user processed payments for multiple organizations, he would have to keep logging in and out of different responsibilities to process payments for a different organization or operating unit.
Now in Release 12, Multi-Org Access Control enables users to access, process, and report on data for an unlimited number of operating units within a single applications responsibility.
When you're done with setting up your security profile, you open the Submit Request window and run the Security List Maintenance program. And this will ensure that all of your security profiles that you created will be available for assignment to your responsibilities.
This is an important step to do, otherwise you will not see your security profile in the list of values when you try to assign to the MO: Security Profile profile option. So make sure you run this program and make sure it completes successfully.
In the next setup step, when you set your system profile options, you will see that your newly created security profiles will be available.
Here, we have the list of profile options related to Multiple Organizations or MO for short in Release 12.
The first two are new. Actually they both existed in 11i, but they didn't do anything.
Now in Release 12, the MO Security Profile controls the list of operating units that a responsibility or user can access. So you would assign the Security Profile that you just created to this profile option.
The second profile option called MO: Default Operating Unit is optional and allows you to specify a default operating unit that will be the default when you open different subledger application pages. Because users can access multiple operating units, you may want to set up a default one instead of forcing users to constantly have to choose one. When we talk about the User Preferences later, you can also specify a default operating unit at the user level.
The last profile option is really for backwards compatibility and to support products that do not use Multiple Organizations. Whatever your Release 11i setting was for this will be preserved during upgrade. That leads me to my next point. If you're happy with how you processed transactions in 11i, then when you upgrade to R12, you don't have to do anything. You only need to define a security profile and assign it to the first profile option if you want to take advantage of this exciting feature. If you specify a security profile for the MO: Security Profile, then those products that use Multiple Organizations will ignore the MO: Operating Unit profile option.
If you set the security profile at the responsibility level, then all users using that responsibility will have access to only the operating units available in the security profile.
If you set the security profile at the user level, then the user will have access to only those operating units, irrespective of application responsibility that they log into.
Use the MO: Default Operating Unit profile option to set the operating unit context or default operating unit when accessing an applications.
The Release 11i MO: Operating Unit profile option will continue to be supported in Release 12 as not all customers or Oracle products require multiple organizations.
Multi-Org Preferences really allows the user to control the list of operating units they have access to. So the system administrator may create a security profile that has 10 operating units assigned and assign it to the user or his/her responsibility. But, let's say that a user only deals with 5 of them on a daily basis and he doesn't want his work space cluttered with extraneous operating units. The user could set up Multi-Org preferences to restrict the list of OUs. And because the user has complete control over this, he can change it at anytime.
In addition, the user can specify a default operating unit. Of course, this default operating unit will override the Default Operating Unit profile option.
To enable and display Preferences in your menu, request your System Administrator to add the function, FNDMOPREFS to your menu definition. The System Administrator should use either the System Administrator or Application Developer responsibility and select the Menu (Application) option. Select your product's menu and add the function named User Preferences (FNDMOPREFS). Above screenshot is an example using the Oracle Payables setup menu.

Sebo K has long been a key figure in Berlin's electronic dance music community; now, thanks to his releases on the mobilee label, including "Rancho Relaxo", co-produced with Anja Schneider, and "Moved", featuring Prosumer, he's becoming an unstoppable force on the scene. Like so many others, Sebo K began DJing in the early 90s; he found his footing as resident DJ at Alec Empire's Bass Terror, Berlin's first UK breakbeat parties. By the mid 90s he had discovered his love for Chicago house and Detroit techno — a passion that will be evident to anyone that's heard the vintage depths of his 2005 track "Moved"—and at the turn of the decade he began his residency at Berlin's legendary POGO club. Today, Sebo K is a resident at Berlin's Watergate (www.water-gate.de), and he frequently appears at Berlin venues like Weekend, where he shares a regular date with Ewan Pearson. As a producer, Sebo K cut his teeth on productions for Sonar Kollektiv, PIAS (producing for Anja Schneider) and Highgrade. He's been tapped to produce exclusive tracks for Freezone (Crammed/SSR) and F.U.N. (Four Music) compilations, working alongside DJ Oskar; their F.U.N. contribution would go on to be licensed for Sony's DJ Decks & FX Playstation game. Sebo K's productions for mobilee have established him as frighteningly talented producer and a formidable player on the scene. His collaboration with Anja Schneider, the "Rancho Relaxo"/"Side Leaps" EP (mobilee 003), reached no. 9 on Groove's charts, and has gone on to be an enduring staple in the crates of DJs worldwide. And his double A-side EP for the label, "Horizons" and "Moved" (mobilee 007)—the latter featuring the vocal talents of Playhouse/240 Volts artist Prosumer—has reinforced the importance of house for a new generation of minimal lovers. With an unparalleled sense of pulse and soul, Sebo K is just beginning to hit his stride.

Delcath registers $10m offering
April 10, 2018 By Sarah Faulkner
Delcath Systems (NSDQ:DCTH) proposed offering up to $5 million in units and $5 million in pre-funded units this week to fund the company's clinical and commercial operations.
The New York-based company plans to offer 500,000,000 units made up of Series C units with one share of common stock and Series E warrants to buy one share of common stock. Delcath also said it would offer up to 500,000,000 Series D units made up of pre-funded warrants to buy one share of common stock and Series E warrants to purchase one share of common stock.
The company hasn't yet priced its offering. According to a prospectus filed with the SEC, Delcath plans to use its newly-acquired funds to support its Phase III ocular melanoma liver metastases trial and an EU registry, among other clinical studies of its Chemosat drug-delivery tech.
Earlier this week, Delcath said that shareholders approved a bid to increase the company's authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
The oncology group also voted to effect a reverse stock split of Delcath's common stock at a range of 1-for-100 to 1-for-500. The board of directors have until April 6, 2019 to decide whether or not to implement the reverse split.

Post-war Miracle – Form and Diversity.
Legend 4: Post-war Miracle
The German economic miracle after World War II would have been inconceivable without vehicles from Daimler-Benz. The political fathers of the social market economy, the Deutschmark and the economic miracle had themselves chauffeured through the flourishing country in representative Mercedes-Benz sedans and convertibles. And anyone who benefited sufficiently from the economic miracle liked to demonstrate this with a Mercedes-Benz. Cars like the Adenauer Mercedes, the Gullwing or the Ponton – the basic model at the time – featured high up on the German citizens' "wanted" list. The cars with the three-pointed star attracted buyers not only with attributes typical of the brand like quality, comfort, longevity, dynamism and representative elegance.
Also, the developers in the Mercedes-Benz design studios had recognized the signs of change and ushered in a new era in form and design in Germany. The car increasingly developed from a practically designed means of transport into an individually styled basic commodity. It was a time of new departures formed out of sheet metal, expressing zeitgeist as much as raising hopes of a better future. The same stylistic approach was adopted for the practically designed Mercedes-Benz vans and trucks without which the economic miracle would have been equally inconceivable. They were the untiring workhorses in those days, keeping goods supplies in full swing and working incessantly on construction sites and in agriculture.

SESSIONS WITH DEWAYNE "BLACKBYRD" MCKNIGHT
Dates: July, August or September 1988
Players: Flea, Blackbyrd McKnight, D.H. Peligro, Anthony Kiedis.
Recorded at: Unknown, possibly Flea's house
Produced by: Unknown
Engineered by: Unknown
After Hillel passed away, former Parliament/Funkadelic guitarist Dewayne "Blackbyrd" McKnight joined the band. His time in the Chili Peppers was short-lived; he only played around three or four shows (one was televised) before being dumped for John, but some studio work was done in the mean-time.
To date, the only released recording of McKnight on a Chili Peppers track is Blues for Meister, which was released in 1994 on the Out In L.A compilation. However, the bulk of this work was done in 1987, as an instrumental version of the track appears in demo form, before McKnight's time. It appears that he merely ran a guitar-part over the already existing recording; the liner notes for the album don't give away any clues, and this information only comes from a now deleted tweet from Flea; it was previously assumed that Hillel performed that guitar work.
The band also recorded at Flea's house during his time with the band, but it seems as if they were merely free-form jams, with no proper songs played. Blackbyrd's work on Blues for Meister may have been recorded at Flea's house.

The oil company turned a profit of $11.7 billion in the second quarter.
HOUSTON � Exxon Mobil reported the fattest operating profit in U.S. corporate history Thursday but took a beating anyway � from politicians railing against Big Oil, drivers bleeding cash at the pump and investors who expected more.
The world's largest publicly traded oil company turned a profit of $11.7 billion for the second quarter, lifted mostly by meteoric crude prices. Its earnings were up 14 percent from a year ago. Total sales: $138 billion � roughly the gross domestic product of Hungary.
Henry Hubble, Exxon Mobil's vice president for investor relations, said the record profits "highlight the quality of our integrated business model and disciplined investment approach."
For the most part, the plaudits ended there.
Despite their heft, Exxon's profits were a disappointment on Wall Street, and the company's stock slumped nearly 5 percent. Almost the entire energy industry was walloped by investors Thursday.
European rival Royal Dutch Shell posted its own record profit across the Atlantic, with earnings of $11.6 billion. Its American depository receipts tumbled nearly 4 percent in afternoon trading.
Growing investor apprehension can be found at the heart of what the oil industry does � finding and producing oil and natural gas.
Exxon Mobil's overall output fell 8 percent in the second quarter from a year ago � a significant blow for a company that generates more than two-thirds of its earnings from oil and gas production.
For Exxon Mobil, which produces 3 percent of the world's oil, finding new deposits of hydrocarbons is getting harder and harder. State-run oil companies like those in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela control about 80 percent of known global oil reserves. It's difficult if not impossible for Exxon and its competitors to get any part of that oil.
"It all comes down to production," said Brian Youngberg, an analyst with financial services firm Edward Jones. "This is the second straight quarter production came in below expectations. Investors are going to be questioning when they can turn that around."
Exxon Mobil was not alone in the industry in posting massive profits over the past week.
The reward? A broadening backlash from a public that is getting squeezed on fuel prices from every front.
Unleaded gas cost $3.74 per gallon at a Mobil station in Milwaukee, where Jeff and Jennine Pynn of Putnam Valley, N.Y., stopped Thursday during a road trip. "It's totally unfair," Jennine Pynn said as she pumped $47 worth into a Toyota Highlander. "You really hope to see them not turn so much of a profit."
Dan Owens of Muskego, Wis., drives about 100 miles a day as a sales representative for a packaging firm. He called Big Oil's profits "obscene."
"I'm all for making a profit � it's the American way. But it's another thing to gouge," said Owens, 38, shaking his head. "It makes me feel like I'm getting ripped off."
While the oil companies insist they're trying to find new oil that might bring down gas prices, the money they spend on exploration pales compared with what they've spent in recent years on stock buybacks and dividends.
In the most recent quarter, Exxon Mobil said it spent $8 billion buying back stock, versus $7 billion on capital and exploration expenditures. The company has said it expects to spend $25 billion to $30 billion on capital and exploration projects each of the next five years.
In a letter to the five largest international oil companies released Thursday, some House and Senate Democrats demanded the companies spend more of their profits on U.S. production and renewable energy and less buying back their own stock.
"Given today's strong market incentive for expanding exploration and production, we can only believe that reinvesting your vast profits into the production of more oil and natural gas in the United States is a profitable strategy that will help our country decrease its dependence on foreign oil," said the letter from Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Reps. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., and Ed Markey, D-Mass.
The American Petroleum Institute, the industry's trade association, said Big Oil earnings are not out of line compared with earnings in other industrial sectors. For example, the institute notes, Exxon's earnings amount to about 8.5 cents per dollar of sales, versus 11.6 cents for the companies making up the Dow Jones industrials.
"The oil and natural gas industry is massive because it has to be to effectively compete for global energy resources," said John Felmy, the API's chief economist. "The industry's earnings make possible the huge investments necessary to help ensure America's future energy needs are met."
He noted about two-fifths of publicly traded oil and gas company stock is owned by tens of millions of investors through retirement accounts and pensions.
The entire industry is not rolling in cash. Refiners, including Exxon Mobil, must also buy crude. The company's earnings from refining and marketing fell 54 percent in the quarter to $1.55 billion.

The roundabout on London Road leading to and from Cirencester was crying out to be made over. The original planting design was one of small beds filled with seasonal bedding and framed by box trees which were strategically placed around the outer edge and a cherry tree had been planted in the centre surrounded by a ring of lavender. The affect was neat and tidy but with a plot of land the size that it is, it really needed a 'WOW' factor that would get people talking.
So, in late June 2006, we set about tackling the largest project we had undertaken so far and drew up plans to plant the roundabout with permanent landscaping . A bed in the shape of a five pointed star was designed with its points coming down towards the roadway forming five matching beds with a central inner ring. This gave the roundabout the nick name 'Galactica'.
The theme for this bed was 'Loose & Natural'. A colour scheme of pink, yellow and orange was chosen using sambuccas, yellow physocarpus and escalonias in the centre. Coming down the points, colourful shrubs and perennials including red berberis, yellow choisya and spiraea, lavenders and cistus were mixed with orange geums, yellow anthemis, white gauras, orange kniphofia 'Tetbury Torches' & crimson penstemon. All the plants used roughly graduate in size towards the tips of the star.
The cherry tree and lavenders that formed part of the original planting, stayed in place. In all, the majority of the plants are sustainable using just a few begonias, yellow marguerites and antirrhinums to carry colour through the spaces between the plants over the Summer months.
The finished bed looked great but unfortunately was spoilt by the over large chevrons. So…..
We managed to persuade "the powers that be" to change them for us to much smaller ones!
The planting on the roundabout has been a resounding success and is the talk of everyone , not only the residents of Tetbury but visitors and residents from neighbouring towns.
At the centre of the bed, a small ornamental tree provides a focal point. Unfortunately, it seems to be a difficult spot. In Autumn 2008 the original cherry tree fell victim to disease and was replaced by a crab apple 'Malus Rudolph' which was specially chosen for its size and colouring being a small tree with deep pink blossom in Spring, bronzy coloured leaves in Summer and orange fruits in Autumn that stay on the tree until well into Winter.
In late summer 2012, following a storm, the wind was strong enough to rip the tree from its supports and snap it off at the base. In its place we have now planted a large red leafed acer tree that was donated to us by one of our regular volunteers - Mike Kniveton.
After 7 years winters the acer has survived and grown into a beautiful centre piece co-ordinating with the pink and plum colours in the bed.
The original lavenders which had become extremely leggy, have now been removed and have been replaced with late flowering rudbekia. It grows far too successfully (!!), but with vigorous management we keep it in check and come the late summer months it looks wonderful ,giving good height to what is now a very successful mature bed.
