You are here: Home / Resume Templates / Career Tips / Career Education: Does a GED Diploma Really Open Doors to Jobs and College?
I was listening to a story on public radio about people who go for their GED diplomas, and was a little surprised by some of what I heard. But I hadn't caught the entire program, so I did some extra investigating. Seems there are pros and cons to getting a GED – and for those people looking to hire the people who have them.
Approximately 12% of all high school degrees are GED diplomas.
On average, about 40% of the people who study for their GEDs don't pass the test.
In New York State, 47% don't pass.
An estimated 39 million American adults don't have a high school diploma.
In 2012 more than 700,000 people took the GED test.
The military once treated GEDs as they would any other high school diploma. In the 1980s, they put some limits on that.
Did those last two points surprise anyone? Studies show that, on average, those people who get GED diplomas are just as intelligent as regular high school graduates who don't go to college. And yet, the GED does not necessarily make them equivalent. Why is that?
What's the problem with the current GED?
So not only are there different types of people taking the GED, but there are a good percentage who take and pass the test, and yet haven't acquired the skills they really need. And studies show that. But I have to add that there are also a good number of people with regular high school degrees (and also college degrees) who don't have those skills yet either.And then there's the test itself which, arguably, cannot serve as a truly equivalent measure of the same exposure to diverse ideas, experiences, commitment, follow-through, relationship building, etc. that goes into getting a high school diploma. When you study for a GED, you aim at passing the test, but perhaps you miss out on the broader experience that gives value to a regular high school diploma. Not that all high school graduates have that, just perhaps a larger percentage than some of the folks who go back for a GED.
What's being done to improve equivalency testing quality?
There will be two passing levels on the new GED. One will indicate that a person meets the requirements for a high school credential. A higher passing level will indicate that a person is ready for college.
BUT, the new test still won't measure those non-cognitive skills. Also, will employers really know the difference between the two levels? And will they even know anything has changed? What about GEDs issued before 2014? Does their value go down as a result?My guess is that the information about the new test may not be disseminated widely enough for that to register any time soon with most employers. And perhaps, as time goes on, the new, more stringent test will lift the value for all. In the meantime, it probably means a lot of scrambling to prepare for GED programs and test takers.As an alternative to the GED, some states offer an equivalency diploma from the National External Diploma Program (NEDP) administered by casas.org. At the moment, the diploma is available in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Washington and Washington D.C. Whether it will catch on as a valid credential for employers in general is still to be seen.

Medical diagnostics startup bags $23 million in venture funding
Mammoth Biosciences, a biotech startup researching on the first ever CRISPR-based disease detection platform has reportedly announced today that it has raised $23 million in a funding round led by Silicon Valley's top capital firm Mayfield Partners along with the venture firms 8VC and NFX.
Sources close to the matter said that Mammoth has aims to leave its mark on the USD 45 billion global disease detection market, which is currently dominated by big players like Abbott, Roche, Johnson & Johnson and Siemens.
According to medical records, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a component of bacteria immune system which when paired with a Cas-protein, can detect and slice up the RNAs and DNAs of harmful invading viruses. Scientists have recently used the CRISPR-Cas complex to edit the genes of mice and yeast.
Trevor Martin, CEO of Mammoth Biosciences confirmed that their team is exploring the use for CRISPR as a search engine for biology. The CRISPR-Cas complexes are said to be attached with a guide RNA, which helps them identify a specific sequence in the RNA or DNA sample. These guide RNAs could be programmed to seek disease-specific DNA or RNA sequences, he added.
Supposedly, the CRISPR-Cas protein complexes are stable and can easily be moved and handled, offering accessibility to patients suffering from several disorders. The test can be as easy as adding a drop of blood on a paper and getting the results using a mobile phone camera, sources suggest.
Mammoth aims to make the diagnostics accessible to applications outside of medical grade labs and further eliminate the need for bulky and expensive PCR machines and UV readers, Martin commented.
Reports suggest that while Mammoth's platform is still under development, the funding will allow their team to develop the CRISPR platform infrastructure. Subsequently, they can perform specific disease detection tests which will not only serve healthcare applications but also the forensic, oil and agriculture industries.

I've written before about temporal variability in vibration environments, and I recently gave a talk on the subject at IEST's ESTECH conferece. The issue is becoming important enough that there is discussion of addressing it in one of IEST's upcoming standards.
The problem is that no realistic environment is truly "stationary". This is especially true for many research-oriented environments (think: nanotechnology labs) for which low-vibration environments are critical. I've been asked to write some more about this for a working group, and I think the place to start is to think about the timescales of interest. So, when we say that an environment isn't perfectly stable, what exactly do we mean?
This environmental vibration variability can occur on many timescales. In many cases, it's driven by what most people call "cultural vibrations": those vibrations generated by the activities and movement of people in the area.
On the milli-second timescale, "near-instantaneous" transients might result from cars hitting potholes or the slam of an office door. Car and subway pass-by events are often seconds in duration. Long freight trains might generate impacts lasting minutes. Rush-hour and general transportation impacts typically create hours-long cycles of somewhat-higher and somewhat-lower average vibration levels. And these cycles are indeed important: when we perform campus-scale surveys of vibration sensitivities, one of the questions we ask of research groups is whether they sometimes work at night to avoid interference.
But even longer timescales can be relevant. In some campus settings, reduced local traffic leads to lower weekend vibration levels, during which researchers might schedule their most sensitive experiments. Conversely, weekly visits to the building for gas deliveries and trash pickup can cause semi-regular spikes. Sometimes, the impact might be so regular that it can itself appear as a signal: an emergency generator test occurring, say, every Tuesday at noon could be said to produce a discrete 1.6µHz signal (once per week, or every 604,800 seconds). At the most-extreme timescale, eventually there will be an earthquake.
Extraordinary timescales are rarely relevant. And computing the return period on extremely rare events (like earthquakes) is notoriously fraught, and probably irrelevant to any contemporary lab uses, anyway.
But timescale is an important parameter in considering vibration impacts. And while there are technical reasons to consider timescale (is my apparatus even sensitive to milli-second-scale excursions? what are the chances that I'm even doing something sensitive at the moment when the transient occurs?) economic and practical considerations can be just as important. If your lab executes experiments that take huge budgets and months of planning to pull off, then even rare events might be a real threat, if only because the consequences of failure (however unlikely) are so dire.

'It's too soon to announce a retirement': Lizzie Deignan remains focused on Yorkshire 2019 World Championships and Olympic Games
The British favourite hopes to take a second rainbow jersey in her home county
By Alex Ballinger published 27 September 19
Lizzie Deignan remains focused on her ambition to win a second rainbow jersey at the Yorkshire 2019 World Championships, saying "it's too early to announce a retirement."
The 30-year-old will lead the British squad in the elite women's road race on Saturday (September 27), which will be a memorable moment for Deignan as the race passes through her home town of Otley.
Amid reports that Deignan was planning to retire next year, she has now said its too soon to announce the end of her career as she targets the World Championships and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic road race.
>>> Weather conditions will be decisive in Worlds road race, say Belgian team
"My plan is to do the World Championships and then to re-focus on the Olympic Games," she said.
"Post that, that's where the plan stops honestly.
"But at this moment in time it's too soon to announce a retirement because anything can happen between now and then.
"One World Championships and Olympics at a time."
The Yorkshire 2019 World Championships will be a special occasion for Deignan, as the race passes her parents' house and she'll face walls of home crowds cheering her on.
"It'll just be surreal,"she said.
"It will be a 'pinch me' moment.
"I'm just trying to embrace the World Championships. Like normally I wouldn't watch races, I'd stay in my room and not do too much, but I've kind of taken a different approach this time, soaking it up and enjoying the atmosphere, just enjoying it.
"It's part of the people in my life's everyday consciousness as well. Normally for them the Worlds build-up is maybe the night before, they'll give me a ring and say 'good luck tomorrow', whereas I think for my friends and family and the local community it's been a bit of a build-up, so there's more pressure than normal, just more excitement around."
Deignan already knows the feeling of pulling on the rainbow jersey, one of the most coveted titles in cycling, after she won the World Championships in Richmond back in 2015, beating the likes of Anna van der Breggen (Ned) in a sprint.
But Deignan faces a changed peloton in 2019, after she returned from racing after a year absence, having given birth to her daughter Orla.
"I'm as good as I've ever been physically and I'm really proud of that, that's taken a lot of hard work and determination to get back to that point, but that doesn't mean I'm in the same position that I was in 2015 where I had the same power.
"The women's peloton has moved on so although I'm back to my best, or the best I've ever been, it's a completely different peloton now so I'm going to have to be better than I've been before on Saturday to win that title.
"I only took a year off and I would say there has been a huge jump in the amount of women at the top tier of the sport. It's welcome, I think it's great that there's so many different winners now and more women able to be professional in every sense of the word. It did surprise me in such a short space of time.
"It's about having finances and support to do training camps, to have physio, to have osteos [osteopaths], nutritionists, all those elements that make up a professional athlete are accessible to so many more women now which is obviously great."
Deignan has still proven herself as a favourite for the Worlds, winning stage five of the Women's Tour and taking the general classification in the process back in June.
>>> Boels and Dolmans withdraw backing to leave leading women's squad searching for new sponsors
But what is the biggest hurdle between Deignan and a second world title?
"Team dynamics in the race," she said.
"Tactically it's going to be a tough race. The Dutch are just a powerhouse because they have so many women who can win the world title and I don't think we match them in terms of our team strength.
"I think they are our big challenge."

Caring for a loved one or family member who has incontinence can be demanding. Establishing a management plan - or a routine for care - is one way to help you organize your time and resources so that you are better able to care not only for your loved one, but also for yourself. For example, if you are taking your loved one out, make sure he or she has gone to the toilet before you leave the house.


Hohhot, Chinese (Pinyin) Huhehaote, Wade-Giles romanization Hu-ho-hao-t'e, city and (since 1952) provincial capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northern China. The city is a prefecture-level municipality (shi) and the command headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. It is situated in the upper valley of the Dahei River (a westward-flowing tributary of the Huang He [Yellow River], which it joins on the northern side of that river's great loop) and south of a gap through the Yin Mountains, which average some 5,000 feet (1,500 metres).
The area was traditionally on the edge of the area settled by Han Chinese, and Hohhot grew up as a frontier trading centre. The original Mongol city Kuku-khoto was founded in the 16th century and was an important religious centre for Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism). In the mid-17th century, at the end of the Ming period (1368–1644), the area began to be settled by Chinese, who farmed the fertile plain and named the city Guihua (meaning "Return to Civilization"). Eventually, in the mid-18th century, a new Chinese city, named Suiyuan, was founded some 2.5 miles (4 km) north of the old one. Later the two cities were combined under the name Guisui, and that city became a considerable frontier market with a large Muslim trading community.
In 1928, when Suiyuan sheng (province) was established as a part of the policy of bringing Inner Mongolia firmly under Chinese civil administration, the city became the provincial capital. During the Japanese occupation (1937–45) it became the capital of the pro-Japanese autonomous region of Mengjiang. In 1952 it replaced Kalgan (Zhangjiakou) as the provincial capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and was renamed Hohhot (Mongolian: "Green City") in 1954.
Before World War II, Hohhot was still primarily a trading centre, although its importance had grown rapidly since the completion in 1922 of the railway linking it to Beijing and Tianjin to the southeast and Baotou to the west. It collected the produce of both the pastoral Mongols and the local Chinese farmers. A handicraft industry grew up; leather was processed; and rugs, felt, and clothing were manufactured.
Originally, the old (Mongol) city was the commercial centre and the new (Chinese) city the administrative and residential area. After World War II the two were completely merged, and the whole grew rapidly, trebling in population in a decade.
Hohhot also developed into a fairly important industrial centre. Besides grain milling, tanning, oil extraction, and sugar refining from locally grown beets, plants weaving woolen textiles and manufacturing machines have emerged. A construction industry makes its own bricks and tiles, and a medium-sized iron and steel industry has been established. There is also a large industrial chemical plant. During the early years after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Chinese settlement in Inner Mongolia was checked. By the early 1970s, however, expansion of cultivation to the north of Hohhot had attracted major tractor and diesel engine factories to the city.
In 1957 Hohhot became the seat of the first university in Inner Mongolia with an important medical and veterinary college. Schools, hospitals, a palace of culture, and theatres have made the city a regional cultural centre. South of the city, by the Dahei River, is the famous "Green Tomb" of Wang Zhaojun, a courtesan sent in 33 bce by the Han emperor Yuandi (reigned 49/48–33 bce) to the territory of what is now Inner Mongolia to be the bride of Huhanxie, a Xiongnu chieftain. Pop. (2002 est.) city, 826,354; (2007 est.) urban agglom., 1,726,000.

An Imitation of Life By Karma Eastwick
An Imitation of Life by Karma Eastwick is now available!
In New York City, Broadway actor Mars Manchester faces two dilemmas, one professional, the other personal …
Although the handsome and talented thespian is discreet yet openly gay when it comes to his family, friends, and agent, he knows his sexual orientation could have a negative impact on landing roles in other mediums. Now that he's starting to branch off into movie and television work, he worries some producers might hesitate to hire a gay man as a romantic lead if word ever got out. So when Mars lands the role of Wave Benson, a new gay character on the long-running daytime soap opera Destiny's Storm, a controversial role that could prove challenging and rewarding and shift his career into high gear, he remains fearful that he could get typecast like so many other actors in the business.
And when it comes to his personal life, Mars battles to hold his feelings in check when he falls hopelessly in love with his roommate, another actor by the name of Reed Keeting. Unfortunately, there's one major stumbling block…Reed is straight. And to make matters even worse, the man has an annoying girlfriend who not only senses Mars's secret crush on her lover, but delights in making his life miserable at every opportunity. Yet when conversations lead Mars to believe his sexy roommate is perhaps not as straight as he appears, he can't help recalling his last relationship, one with another "straight man," that ended in utter disaster.
Will Mars ever find the courage to follow his heart and explore the possibilities of a fulfilling relationship with Reed, or will he remain miserable, allowing one bad love affair to dictate his future? Or will his storyline on Destiny's Storm, which often seems an imitation of his personal life, give him added encouragement to seek happiness once and for all, especially when Reed also snags a coveted role on the soap … to play his gay lover?
Daytime soaps will never be the same!
"What in the world do you see in her anyway?"
He stared at me for so long, with his face devoid of all expression, that I wondered if I'd made him angry. Finally, his eyes twinkled with something akin to lechery. "The truth?"
"Because she sucks a mean cock."
"That's a lot."
"But is it enough to put up with – with –" Once again I held my tongue. Sure, Reed had a tendency to be a little slow when it came to sizing up other people, but even he couldn't be blind when it came to Niki's incessant neediness, her frequent tantrums and irksome snobbishness, and her lack of intelligence when it came to the English language. And he certainly wasn't deaf, so her nasally voice must have grated on his eardrums from time to time. Therefore, I decided not to launch into a litany of her less-than-stellar qualities. "I mean, come on, man, you could do so much better."
"I could?" He raised an eyebrow before once again bringing the beer bottle to his lips and taking a sip.
"Don't you ever look in the mirror? Chicks are practically lining up at our door for a chance to be with you."
"Huh? What?" With dramatic effect only an actor could provide, he presented an aura of stark terror, stalked to the front door, and placed one eye against the security peephole. He gasped in feigned relief. "Nope, nope, can't see anyone out in the hall."
"Knock it off. And you know what I mean."
"Do I?"
"Don't play stupid. You're a good-looking guy, a 'catch,' and you know it. So I can't believe you'd stay with someone like Niki just because she's a decent cocksucker."
"Every dude in the world craves good head."
"Of course, but you and I both know you could definitely find a nicer chick who would happily do that job. Hell, even a guy might be preferable to –" The moment the words flew off my tongue, I wanted to reel them back into my big, fat mouth.
"Oh? A guy, huh?" Now a mischievous glint lit his eyes. "There's an interesting possibility. Hey, Mars, are you hoping to arrange yet another type of audition today?"
"I've heard that guys suck cock better than any woman, and since you're a guy, and gay … well, you'd know for a fact. Is it true?"
"Ah … yeah … from my experience, it's true."
"Fascinating, fascinating." For an instant, his gaze locked on my face, or more specifically, on my lips. "I wonder … you may have a valid point about Niki and finding someone else. Know of anyone in particular who may be interested? And keep in mind, I'm Cock King, so it won't be an easy task. I'd need an expert, you know?"
The hairs on my arms snapped to attention. Was my current lust for him that obvious? Or had he realized in all these months how much I ached for him? I felt a bit wobbly, and my cheeks sizzled in embarrassment. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"What do you think I'm saying?"
"That you … you want me to …?"
He shrugged nonchalantly, then raised the beer bottle to his lips. For an instant, the tip of his tongue slipped once, twice, three times inside the tiny opening before he tilted the bottle and began to chug the beer. I couldn't tear my gaze from his bobbing Adam's apple. My heart began a wild gallop, while my cock, never completely dormant in his company, started to twitch in need.

Robin Arryn From 'GoT' Grew Up To Play A Hot Nerd On 'Sex Education'
Sex Education Season 1 featured Game of Thrones' Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella of "Shame!" bell fame) as Jackson's mom, and Season 2 boasts yet another Game of Thrones cameo. Sex Education's Dex is played by Lino Facioli, who viewers will likely remember as Robin Arryn, the bratty and disturbingly milk-inclined cousin of Sansa Stark, who achieved meme status in the final episode with his sudden glow-up.
In the last episode of Game of Thrones, Facioli's Robin Arryn attends the Great Council, but he isn't actually ever addressed onscreen by name, which left many viewers feeling baffled about who the random (and surprisingly handsome) young man was. Once fans realized it was Facioli though, the internet freaked out, with a TVGuide article proclaiming that Facioli "Neville Longbottom-ed us."
Facioli took the fame and thirst tweets in stride, telling Vulture, "To be honest, I'm still taking it all in. My parents are just … we were laughing, we were like, 'This is hilarious, this is crazy.' I've got friends being like, 'You've got memes about you, man.' That's their definition of fame."
Facioli's Sex Education character Dex is way less royal than his Game of Thrones counterpart, but he's bound to leave an impression regardless. Dex is the leader of the Quiz Heads, Moordale's high school quiz bowl team, whose goal is to make it to the televised final competition. Standout new character Vivian (Chinenye Ezeudu) has a major crush on him, so Jackson tries to set the two of them up, in exchange for Vivian teaching Jackson Shakespeare for a play. (Long story.)
It's through Vivian that we learn the most about Dex. She knows he's the "34th fastest Rubik's Cuber in the world." He likes "BBQ flavored Doritos," and he "bites his bottom lip when he thinks about something really difficult." Vivian amusingly points out that Dex has spoken to her "exactly 26 times, using a total of 556 words." She also knows he works at Pegasus Hobbies and Games on the weekend — where he's super into Dungeons and Dragons type games, which I refuse to take as anything other than a Game of Thrones reference.
Unlike Robin, Dex is a giant nerd, basically, but Vivian, who's on the Quiz Heads with him, really likes him regardless. (Dex, meanwhile, thinks her name is Bev.) Jackson and Vivian's machinations work, and Dex ends up giving Vivian his number, much to the pair's glee.
Though Dex exists mostly in service to Vivian's story, Facioli has an easy chemistry with Ezeudu regardless. The two of them make Viv and Dex's awkward conversations look so natural and effortless, and their interactions are one of the many highlights of Season 2.
It's not all rainbows and roses for Vivian and Dex though. Though Vivian is successful in winning him number, their shortlived relationship hits the rocks when she realizes Dex is too much of a geek, and he's pretty unwilling to talk about anything that isn't cube-shaped with six colors and six sides.
We won't spoil what happens in the final episodes, but eventually Dex shows his true colors, proving perhaps he isn't too different from the selfish Robin Arryn after all.

Fred Katz (cellist)
(Redirected from Fred Katz)
Fred Katz continued to work in the studio system, collaborating briefly for the now cult film producer Roger Corman. In under 18 months, Fred wrote original scores for The Little Shop of Horrors, Bucket of Blood and The Wasp Woman, although cynics have often suggested that 'with the similarity of musical cues within the various films, it could be assumed that Corman had used the same score for each'.
Fred Katz (February 25, 1919 – September 7, 2013) is an American composer, songwriter, conductor, cellist, and professor, perhaps best-known as the composer and lyricist of "Satan Wears a Satin Gown".
Katz was classically trained at the cello and piano and began his career in a number of classical and swing orchestras. In the early 1950s, Katz accompanied singers such as Lena Horne, Tony Bennett and Frankie Laine. From 1955 through 1958, he was a member of the Chico Hamilton Quintet. He also recorded several solo albums such as Folk Songs for Far Out Folk[1] labels including Pacific Jazz, Warner Bros., and Decca Records.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, Katz scored a number of films for Roger Corman, including A Bucket of Blood, The Wasp Woman, Creature from the Haunted Sea and The Little Shop of Horrors. He also composed a number of pieces of classical music. Katz went on to become a professor of cultural anthropology at the University of San Fernando, specializing in ethnic music.
His cello can also be heard on Ken Nordine's Word Jazz projects, on Dorothy Ashby's The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby, and Billy Bean's Makin' It.

Filling out some paperwork for my kiddo & found this very confusing. If there WEREN'T complications I should explain, but if there were, I shouldn't?
You did better than I did, GTS#1, just getting to that confusing point. I was stuck on whether "After delivery problem with your baby" was even a question, or if it was something more like a Mad Libs prompt. After delivery problem with your baby, you THREW the PIZZA out the PIANO.

We're pretty big fans of xylitol here at Peppersmith HQ. It's what makes our mints and gum so great for teeth. But we're also the first to admit it's got a bit of a weird name and unfortunately sounds like something you'd find in the small print of hair dye ingredients rather than the naturally derived sugar alternative it is (it actually comes from the word "xylon", which is Greek for wood – you can find out more about the origins of xylitol here).
Xylotherapy is the treatment of disease by applying wood to the surface of a body. This used to involve laying chopped up circles of wood on people's bodies to cure various ailments. It still exists today, but you don't need a handy lumberjack if you're under the weather, oils made from pine or eucalyptus can be used instead.
Xography is better known as 3D photography. Brian May, yes that Brian May, is quite an authority on a branch of xography called stereoscopy. He's even written a book about it. This might not sound quite as much fun as being in Queen, but don't stop him now, he's having a good time.
Xenomania is a hit factory that you've probably never heard of. They wrote all of Girls Aloud's chart toppers and have had more top ten hits than Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera put together.
Xenotransplantation is any medical procedure that involves using cells, tissues or organs from animals. Last year scientists at Harvard University made a pretty major scientific breakthrough that could see entire organs from pigs being transplanted into humans in the future.
Xena the Warrior Princess. In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. And no list of excellent x's would be complete without her.
Hopefully all this discussion of words beginning with x hasn't induced xenolexia (grave confusion when faced with unusual words) and you can see why xylitol is a lot less scary than its name suggests (you can read more about it here). If you think we've missed any good ones, feel free to add them as comments below.

The best hope for success in the 112th Congress is stasis, a kind of gridlock that doesn't make things appreciably worse. Millions of unemployed Americans across the country would rather that government worked at giving them opportunities for jobs, but the incoming Republican House just isn't interested in doing that.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) believes the new Congress will be "much more likely" to approve his legislation that would halt looming Environmental Protection Agency climate change rules.
Rockefeller wants to delay rules – which will begin phasing-in next month – to curb emissions from power plants, refineries and other industrial plants, but never got a vote on his measure this year.
"The House will be that way and the Senate will be more inclined to be that way," Rockefeller told The Hill in the Capitol Saturday, a reference to gains by GOP lawmakers hostile to climate rules. Rockefeller plans to immediately reintroduce the bill when the new Congress starts, he said.
Rockefeller helpfully added that he doesn't want to abolish the EPA, as some Tea Party types do. Well that's comforting.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Saturday that a "clean" energy standard for electric utilities could gain traction among Republicans in the next Congress even though it would create a new federal mandate.
Murkowski, the top GOP member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the standard should allow wide discretion for states and regions, which would help build support.
The Alaska Republican is among the lawmakers backing the idea of requiring the nation's utilities to supply escalating amounts of power from low-carbon sources like new nuclear power plants, renewables, and coal plants if they can trap emissions (a technology that's not yet commercialized).
Democratic lawmakers and a lot of energy industry types have wanted a renewable energy standard for some time, and if they have to accept a clean energy standard to get passage, I could see it happening. But the additional price could be a virtual shutdown of the EPA's carbon regulation work. That would be a tragic mistake.
Because the Administration has spent a lot of time consolidating executive power in the first two years, I could see them fighting pretty darn hard to have the EPA maintain its priorities. They would welcome gridlock, too.

Impanazione è il termine utilizzato per descrivere l'unione del corpo di Cristo con il pane dell'Eucaristia: gli attributi divini di Cristo sarebbero condivisi con il pane eucaristico attraverso il suo corpo. Questo punto di vista trova una propria base sull'analogia con l'Unione ipostatica di Cristo: Dio fatto carne nella persona di Gesù Cristo assicura che "Dio si fa pane" nell'Eucaristia.

Visto come eresia dalla Chiesa cattolica, è considerato simile alla consustanziazione, ma è rifiutato dalla Chiesa Luterana: mentre Lutero non vedeva ragioni per esprimersi su consustanziazione (le sostanze del corpo e del sangue di Cristo sono presenti insieme alle sostanze del pane e del vino) o impanazione (Dio si fa letteralmente pane), il suo movimento è andato definendo meglio la propria posizione.

Infatti, sempre l'evoluzione del pensiero cristiano nei secoli mostra la ripresentazione di un concetto più volte; con i mutamenti delle dottrine e delle sensibilità, la teoria dell'impanazione è passata dall'essere  all'essere condannata come eresia in campo cattolico.

San Giovanni Damasceno in effetti aveva una visione della trasformazione eucaristica definibile come "quasi-impanazione": esistono due modi di essere del Cristo risorto. Come Spirito Egli scese su Maria e nel suo grembo formò il corpo del Verbo incarnato, e come Spirito scende sul pane e sul vino e li forma in uno stesso corpo. Tale corpo eucaristico è distinto dal corpo glorificato, poiché il primo può essere spezzato e mangiato, mentre il secondo è immutabile, ma entrambi sono uno attraverso l'Unione Ipostatica.

In campo luterano, sarà Andrea Osiandro a parlare di impanazione.

The most adorable Instagram pair are not Saif and Kareena, they're Taiwanese elders
Aug 1, 2020, 7:19 pm IST
AFP | Deccan Chronicle
The duo who run a mom-and-pop laundry service have even been featured in the Taiwanese edition of Vogue and Marie Claire.
Over the years, customers have either forgotten or failed to collect reams of clothing that the couple, Hsu Sho-er, 84 and her husband Chang Wan-ji, 83, never felt able to throw away. Grandson Reef Chang, 31, hit upon the idea of using the clothes to alleviate the couple's boredom, and featured them on the Instagram account @wantshowasyoung modelling the clothes.

Taichung: Taiwan's trendiest couple these days are neither young celebrities nor teen influencers—they are an octogenarian duo who run a mom-and-pop laundry service and have become an online sensation by modelling abandoned clothes.
Chang Wan-ji, 83, and his wife Hsu Sho-er, 84, have racked up nearly 600,000 followers on Instagram over the last month as their attitude-filled fashion portraits went viral.
They have even been featured in the Taiwanese edition of Vogue and Marie Claire.
The couple have run a laundry for decades in a small town near the central city of Taichung.
Over the years, customers have either forgotten or failed to collect reams of clothing that the couple never felt able to throw away.
Grandson Reef Chang, 31, hit upon the idea of using the clothes to alleviate the couple's boredom.
"My grandpa and grandma were staring blankly at the streets because business wasn't good," he told AFP. "I wanted to find something new they could enjoy doing."
The pair were naturals in front of the camera.
"Modelling these clothes makes me feel 30 years younger," beamed Chang, when AFP paid a visit to the store earlier this week.
"Many people are telling me 'You are famous now and you look younger'."
Hsu felt so, too.
"I am old in age but my heart is not ageing," she said. "I like to put on pretty clothes and go out to have some fun."
Worldwide fame
It was while modelling other people's garments, Hsu came to remember that she also had many forgotten outfits in her closet which she has since rediscovered.
"I even found some clothes I bought 30 years ago and I can still wear them. It's a happy surprise," she said.
The couple's Instagram account -- @wantshowasyoung—is managed by grandson Reef.
Chang currently only uses the Line messaging app to make free phone calls but Reef says his grandfather is keen to learn how to make the perfect Instagram post.
The account first started going viral abroad and around 400,000 new fans have started following in the past week alone after major international media picked up on their success.
Reef said he translates and reads out fan mail pouring in from all over the world.
"We're very moved by the messages," he told AFP, "Many people are saying that 'Wantshowasyoung' is the first happy news they've seen in this dark year marred by the Covid-19 pandemic and problems in many countries," he added.
The couple's worldwide fame has also prompted a few forgetful customers to pick up old clothes, while some local fans have started visiting their sleepy town to see the store.
The shop is named "Wan Sho"—a combination of the middle character of their Chinese names.
Re-use clothes
The couple tied the knot in an arranged marriage six decades ago, a practice then common in Taiwan.
Chang said he had thought about retiring but decided to stay on as long as he can as the laundry business has become less labour-intensive thanks to machines.
"Elderly people should keep moving and remain active or we will age faster... When I am working and being kept busy, I don't have time to worry," he said.
Chang says he has lost count of how many garments have gone uncollected in his shop over the decades but he thinks there are at least 400 items at the moment.
Many more have been donated to charities and impoverished families over the years.
The couple hope to use their new social media clout to promote the concept of "environmental fashion".
"Instead of following 'fast fashion' and keep buying new clothes, we hope people can see that old and second-hand clothes can be fashionable if you arrange and combine them in new ways," said Reef Chang.
"This would cause less damage to the earth and the environment."

Women's economic roles in Cambodia have made slower progress than in many other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, World Bank economists said yesterday.
The region as a whole has seen tremendous gains in the way of gender equality during the past 20 years, but increasing wages and education for women should be a policy priority for Cambodia, according to the economists and a World Bank report issued yesterday.
The report identified gender equality as a contributor to higher productivity and income growth.
It also pointed to foreign direct investment into garment manufacturing as a driver for women's employment, although the stability of that work was susceptible to external shock should demand for Cambodia's largest gross domestic product generator decline.
Cambodian women earn US$0.75 to every dollar their male counterparts make, World Bank economist and lead author of the report Andrew Mason said yesterday during a web conference from Bangkok.
For every 100 men in secondary education in the Kingdom, 85 women attended class.
"She needs support – from agencies, ministries, organisations, from anywhere," Cambodia Women Entrepreneurs Association president Seng Takakneary said yesterday of her countrywomen.
Women's attendance in secondary and higher education in neighbouring Thailand was significantly higher than men's.
Although not comparable to men's wages, women's earnings in Thailand were higher than in Cambodia.
An influx of FDI has changed the female-employment landscape in Cambodia and many other export-reliant economies. In fact, Cambodia has the highest percentage of women in export-oriented firms in the region: more than 60 per cent compared to about 54 per cent in China and 42 per cent in Thailaind.
Cambodia's garment sector, which exported about $3.3 billion last year, employs about 500,000 people.
Up to 95 per cent of garment makers are women, Mona Tep, executive director of the Cambodia Skills Development Center, said yesterday.
At training centres that train employees for mid-management positions, women dominate the classroom.
"The new trend is transferring knowledge to the workers. Those training for supervisor [positions] are more than 80 per cent women," Mona Tep said, adding that garment factory employment was more stable than the work in the rice fields from which many women came.
Volatility in global markets, including the demand for garments, made factory employment somewhat unstable, the World Bank's Mason said.
"This was seen very clearly during the economic crisis in 2009. An external-demand shock was felt throughout the region and this impacted women's employment," he said.
Female entrepreneurs outnumber their male counterparts in Cambodia, according to the Economic Census of Cambodia, issued in March by the National Institute of Statistics.
The census showed that 61 per cent of the country's businesses were run by women, although 80 per cent of Cambodia's businesses were one-to-two person operations.
Hem Sothy, a 48-year-old shop owner in Phnom Penh's Cham Karmon district, said starting up a company was just as difficult for a man as is was for a woman. Household responsibilities, however, often made operating a business challenging.
World Bank economist Reena Badiana noted as much during yesterday's web conference. Cambodia still has a high levels of unpaid family labour and informal labour.
"If women in the Asia-Pacific region were to work in the same sectors as men, output per worker could be 7 to 18 per cent higher," according to the report.
"If societies allocate resources on the basis of one's gender, as opposed to one's skills and abilities, this allocation comes as a cost," the report stated.

There are many forests to enjoy in Penn's Woods, but one of the best examples of a mature beech-maple forest can be found in Tryon-Weber Woods, in western Crawford County about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh. This 100-acre property was originally protected by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1976, and was just expanded last year.
The vast forests of Pennsylvania are a mosaic of different forest types. For example, the oak-hickory forest type is common in some southern regions, while eastern hemlock forests prevail to the north. Due to the landscape created by the last massive continental glacier, beech-maple forests are more common in northwest Pennsylvania. In most places, this forest type has been cut, and remnants usually comprise young trees. However, the ecological significance of Tryon-Weber Woods is that is has mature, older-growth trees. Often used for biological study, in 2016 it was recognized as an exemplary forest by the Old-Growth Forest Network.
This property is remote and rustic, so include a map and compass in your backpack when exploring the area. Only one trail leads you into the property and it's accessible from the natural area sign on a local gravel road. A small stream has cut a deep valley in the soft glacial soils and you will find the old-growth trees across the stream as you explore. Find a map of Tryon-Weber Woods on WaterLandLife.org, or call 412−288−2777.
The Conservancy has protected more than 250,000 acres of natural lands in Western Pennsylvania since 1932. To learn more, visit WaterLandLife.org.

Inmate 84677-012
In 2001, I spent more than a year enduring the empty space of a Segregated Housing Unit (SHU). At the time it was the greatest mental challenge I had ever faced. It was surreal to now find myself back in the SHU. A different prison, a different decade -- but not one thing in that cell felt any different. It had the same cold air, lights that never extinguish and, of course, four walls that slowly close in on you.
I don't care how tough you think you are... the SHU is tougher and you can't fight it. Fighting will get you to break faster. The only thing to do is find your balance--it's truly an exercise in Zen. I walked the length of the cell then the width and took a mental note of the number of steps -- a little sanity insurance to help ground me in reality when those walls started moving in.
I wondered if I had any company. I got down on the floor and positioned myself near the east vent and called to the cell next door. Nothing. I repositioned myself on the west wall and called out. Again nothing. But I knew someone was there. As the Marshalls positioned me against the wall just prior to my cell entry, I had seen a face in the small window looking out at me. Our eyes met briefly in that quick glance. Maybe he was sleeping. Maybe he was a psych patient. Maybe he was here for his own protection. Whoever it was it didn't really matter. It could wait till morning. Neither one of us was going anywhere.
I felt tired to the bone. A few weeks prior I had gotten a message an indictment was on its way. Anticipation made sleep light and hard to come by. Now that the indictment had been delivered I knew what I was dealing with and it was time to catch up on some much needed rest. As my body searched for a comfortable position on the cold hard mattress I stared up at the many names and dates scraped into the steel bed frame above me. As my eyes searched for meaning or message in the strange hieroglyphics, I wondered if there were any stories from past tenants to decipher. The symbols began to overlap and dance then finally I drifted off into a heavy sleep.
I didn't sleep long, my rest interrupted by a strange, unfamiliar noise. It was an exercise cadence that would soon become familiar to me. It would take place early every morning, called out in unison from five adjoining cells to the West. Loud Spanish that would echo out of the cells and down the empty hall. I would find out later these guys were from the Nuestra Familia, arch rivals to the Surenos who dominated the downtown facility. These guys were in the SHU for their own protection -- not their choice but administered segregation from the facility. I've seen these modern gladiators fight it out in a prison yard -- both sides valiant warriors. It was none of my business but keeping them apart was probably a good idea for everyone involved.
My neighbor never uttered a single word to me. An act of caution -- for all he knew I could be the enemy. So much for passing time through conversation.
The early morning passed and I could hear the wheels of the food cart making its way down the hall. Food slots dropped open and trays were passed into the cells. Breakfast. I picked at the tray -- sticking to the protein and staying away from the sugars. I needed to stay healthy and grounded. What I ate didn't fill me up but I knew it would keep me going till lunch. As the guard picked up the tray he informed me the Lieutenant was making his rounds and to sit tight.
Soon I could hear someone making his way from cell to cell. A long pause at each window for a quick inspection and inventory of each tiny room. The steps I heard were light but firm, centered, grounded, confident and now they were outside my door. After a quick glance through the small window the Lieutenant inserted the oversize brass key into the steel lock keyhole and the door to my cell rolled open.
The Lieutenant was a 6' tall, lean, capable looking black man. A no-nonsense old school guy who had made his way up the ranks with hard work and street smarts. I sensed nothing had scared this man for many years. He pointed at the small steel desk at the far end of my cell and I took a seat on the table top. This cell visit was off to an unusual start. Typically, conversations in the SHU equal you hunching down at the door slot talking to a face you can barely see through the small hole.
"Well, Mr. Christie, I understand you want to talk to me. What's this I hear? You've just arrived and already you don't like the accommodations we've arranged for you?" The Lieutenant opened the conversation with a deep voice and a hint of humor.
I replied, "Well, there is really no reason for me to be here in the SHU."
"It wasn't our idea." He explained. "The FBI requested you be housed in the SHU and it is our standard protocol to follow the recommendations made by outside agencies."
I stressed to the Lieutenant it was unnecessary and that I would fight it and, again, reiterated that I wanted to be moved into the general population. This isolation was unwarranted. He told me not to get myself into a twist... that he would talk to the warden and she would make the final decision.
"I guess with your 1986 inmate number you won't have any problems with the youngsters, no one will bother an old timer like you." He said and as our conversation had come to a close, he added "I'm here all weekend if you need anything." Both of us laughed as he exited. The door rolled shut with a loud bang and once again I was alone with my thoughts.
1986. My mind ran back to that year when I was arrested for a murder that never happened and a crime I never committed. I took that case all the way to trial and was declared not guilty. It had cost me a lot including a year of my life in a federal prison. I was in my late thirties then. Now, almost three decades later, in my mid sixties, once again I was inmate 84677-012.

Comparison Rates were rolled out by ASIC with good intentions but have turned out to be quite useless, so I'll continue to lobby for their removal on the basis they're just not real.
A Comparison Rate (CR) is a made-up, notional & unrealistic 'rate' which tries to include ongoing fees into the actual interest rate, in a rudimentary effort to estimate the true cost of a loan.
It's like a car salesman giving you a price on a car that wraps up their estimate of fuel and repairs in the next few years.
If you have a mortgage you probably pay an annual 'Package Fee' of around $395 per annum, which means you pay no other ongoing fees.
For an $800,000 mortgage, a $395 annual fee is the equivalent of only 0.05% on top of the rate.
So why the big difference between the actual & Comparison rates? It's because the advertised comparison rates must be calculated on the assumption of a $150,000 loan.
On a small loan like that the annual fee represents a whopping 0.26% – so a packaged is usually not recommend on such a small amount and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see this is deceptive.
The annual Package Fee also includes the annual fee waiver for a Platinum credit card – which might normally be $179. Is this factored into the CR? No.
Many of my clients get the benefits of running dual offset accounts. These are free too. Are these savings included in the CR? No.
Ask your broker for a 10-year Cost Comparison Projection taking the three things above into account.
Ten years will iron out any initial rebate, discounted first year rate and all that nonsense.
Here is an example relating to Dr Elle from Woolwich where I am refinancing her investment loan from CBA to another bank where I've negotiated a variable rate of 3.59%, which saves Elle over $8,000 per year.
And here is the comparison I provided her, which is much more meaningful than a Comparison Rate.
I want to make something really clear – iChoice sounds like a franchise, but it isn't. It's a family business and there are no banks who own it with me.
The fact that iChoice is the only non-franchise brokerage to be ranked by in the MPA Top 10 brokerages in Australia and number one in NSW, warms my heart.
It's happened very quickly. I was a sole trader 3 years ago and have since employed 4 staff and have a second office.
How did I do it? The trick is to be able to clearly explain things to people without all the jargon and sales-talk we all get sick of. I keep it real, unlike the banks, that ramble on about features.
I concentrate on the benefits that these features provide, taking into account the client's unique situation and measure success by the number of people I've helped, not by volumes and certainly not by income.
I'm honest with a genuine passion to help others get safely ahead and I find it hard to distinguish between friends and clients, because I treat everybody in my life the same.
My team – Victoria, Alexia and Maroun – have driven our growth, using the same principles I've outlined and are capable and compassionate people I'm proud to have among my dearest friends.
