China Gets Rolling: The Big Players in What Will Soon Be the Largest Car Market
A Revised Gang of Five: We look at the biggest Chinese automakers.
Jens Meiners
The U.S.'s leadership of the world car market has finally come to an end. China is now where the action is, like it or not.
Just one generation ago, when hard-line Maoist communism was the reality, individual mobility in China meant grabbing a bike and pedaling. Now the roads are crammed with cars, even though less than three percent of the 1.3 billion Chinese own their own vehicles.
The Chinese market is growing at an astonishing pace. From producing 30,000 passenger cars 20 years ago, production has risen to an estimated 8.3 million passenger cars in 2009; total sales (including trucks, cars, and commercial vehicles) were expected to reach 12.6 million, which would make China the world's largest automotive market. And this ferocious growth is not over: Shanghai-based analyst Jochen Siebert expects passenger-car production to grow to 9.5 million by 2012, with sales reaching 14 million units.
From 2001 to 2005, China built 15,350 miles of expressway, which now totals 25,480 miles. The U.S. has more than 46,000 miles of interstate, but by 2020, China may top that.
Foreign carmakers looking for a piece of the Chinese pie must tread very carefully. The government requires those companies to team up with a Chinese partner. The first Western carmaker to gain a substantial foothold was Volkswagen in the 1980s, partnering with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). The VW Santana, which we knew as the Quantum 25 years ago, is still sold in the People's Republic. GM's Buick brand, a popular car with the Chinese elite before Mao's emergence, sells more cars in China than in its homeland.
These alliances carry enormous cultural and corporate baggage. Despite having a partnership with VW, SAIC-VW and FAW-VW don't seem to trust each other enough to put together a common purchasing policy; VW has a common purchasing policy for all of its other brands throughout the world.
Another issue is that intellectual property rights in China are not always respected, resulting in copycat products.
Here's a look at the current players in China, and what they bring to the game.
BYD: A battery maker in Shenzhen called BYD—its marketing office says it stands for "Build Your Dreams"—has thrown itself into carmaking in a big way. "Boundless Optimism" might be a more appropriate company name: BYD says its goal is to become the world's biggest carmaker by 2025.
Even with some rather pedestrian offerings, including clones of GM Daewoo and Toyota vehicles, sales grew massively, from 20,000 units in 2005 to more than 300,000 in 2009. The most curious offering is called the "S8," a retractable-hardtop convertible that blends the look of the Mercedes-Benz CLK with that of the Renault Mégane. The company is now concentrating on making hybrids and fully electric vehicles and claims its upcoming electric e6 minivan will have a range of 250 miles. To achieve that range, the e6 carries a battery pack that weighs 1200 pounds.
Chery: If there's a Chinese carmaker that's been underestimated, it's Chery. Many China-car watchers know the "QQ," a blatant copy of the diminutive Daewoo Matiz, as well as the company's Eastar, which looks suspiciously like the GM Daewoo Leganza/Suzuki Verona. This so irritated the usually placid GM that it sued. In its defense, Chery claimed to have a contract with Daewoo to build the two cars but still has not produced a document to support that claim. The Chinese courts didn't appear to care, and Daewoo owner GM lost. Chery is also the brand that Malcolm Bricklin tried to bring to the States, and when that didn't work out, he sued for $14 billion. Today, the company is working to transform its lineup and expand its brands by launching a premium brand dubbed Xuan Yuan. The first Xuan Yuan model is slated to be a luxury sedan with a Chery-developed 3.0-liter V-6 and 4.2-liter V-8. A cooperative agreement with Fiat, however, got off on the wrong foot: Fiat wanted to build the Alfa Romeo 159 in China, but Chery said no thanks, citing the Alfa's inferior technology.
FAW: First Automotive Works (now known as the FAW Group) is one of the oldest Chinese automakers and has been a cooperation partner with Mazda, Toyota, and VW, but it also has brands of its own (Besturn, Haima, Hongqi, and Xiali). Hongqi (Red Flag) has built its baroque "three flags" limousine since the 1950s. FAW's in-house brands launched nine new models in 2009, but on closer inspection, things look less rosy. "Unlike some others, FAW does not own the technology of its cars," says analyst Siebert. Indeed, FAW is responsible for almost zero independent engineering, and its generic styling themes have little potential to keep the brands alive. FAW had better keep its cooperation partners happy, as it seems unlikely to be able to survive on its own.
Geely: Some Chinese automakers make it hard to be taken seriously. Geely, for example. It makes a car called the Beauty Leopard. Still, this former producer of scooters and refrigerators has become the biggest privately owned carmaker in China. So far, the growth has come from its own vehicles, many of them "inspired" by Western and Japanese models. Geely plans to grow through acquisitions. First, the firm acquired a share in Manganese Bronze, makers of the classic London Taxi and—perhaps to the sniggering of its rivals—announced that a luxury car would emerge from that platform. Geely's next move might not be as funny: It is working on taking over Volvo and has ambitious plans for the Swedish brand.
SAIC: The largest of the Chinese carmakers, SAIC has had a working relationship with both VW and GM and, as a result, has learned much about making cars. In late 2004, SAIC bought the rights to build several Rover models but not the rights to the Rover name. As a result, SAIC's version of the Rover 75 became the amusingly named "Roewe 750." But no one's laughing now. The new Roewe 550 and 350 models, developed with the help of engineering firm Ricardo, are easily the most advanced indigenous vehicles in the Chinese market. What's more, they're not just copies of Western products any longer; they have distinctive styling and engineering aimed at worldwide markets. The 550 may be sold in Europe as a Ssangyong, a Korean brand owned by SAIC. SAIC is expected to sell 2.65 million cars in 2009, making it the eighth-largest automaker in the world.

The new location is not yet known. As we would like to make her part of the newly growing fleet of 5.5m boats in the USA - the search is on!
Drawings of this boat are in the Luders archives. Design number is #1022. Luders designed ten boats to Herman Whiton. Maybe Whiton assited a bit? Ten boats were built to Luders plans. All boats had separate Luders hull number, but actually boats were identical. Numbers were from #1016 to #1025. Us numbers were from US-32 to US-41. Boats were owned by Sail Training Faculty.
The original name of this boat is Sally.


AKRON, OHIO — In an article appearing in the March issue of CONTRACTOR magazine (pg.1), Dan Chiles of Heatway was quoted, commenting about a federal court case between Heatway and Goodyear recently concluded in Cleveland. In one of his comments, Chiles represented that Goodyear took a certain position during confidential pretrial settlement negotiations in that case. Chiles' representation was false in form and substance. In addition to being false, his comments violated the express confidentiality directives of the court.
Because the content of settlement discussions are always confidential, and the court had made that clear to the attorneys and the parties, the court directed Dan Chiles to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for his actions in this matter. A show cause hearing was held on March 10, according to a March 14 order of Federal Judge Dan Aaron Polster.
Dan Chiles' statement was false. Heatway knows that where systems using Entran II as a component part had problems, those problems invariably are the result of improper system design, installation, operation or maintenance — not the result of any defect in the hose. Heatway failed to get sufficient information on system installation, operation or maintenance to installers and system users, leading directly to the limited problems that have occurred with systems in the field. Heatway's attacks on the hose are a cynical effort to misdirect installers, users and the public away from the real problems — problems that Heatway itself in large part created. In settlement negotiations, Heatway indicated it was willing to begin telling system installers and users the truth about the real cause of the problems — but only if Goodyear would make payments to Heatway. Goodyear refused to pay Heatway to tell the truth — something Heatway should have done (and should do) regardless.

Dale Carnegie, Quotes - 2012
Why We Might Challenge Others!
June 24, 2012 Manu
The desire to excel! The challenge! Throwing down the gauntlet! An infallible way of appealing to people of spirit. – Dale Carnegie
To encourage action consider throwing down a challenge! An appropriate challenge will galvanize action like nothing else! A human's ego is a very sensitive appendage, touch it in the right way and it'll make the human do the unexpected. It goes without saying that the challenge must be a genuine effort and not manipulation.
life principles
20th Dale Carnegie Principle: Throw down a challenge!
Here's a story from the book:
Sing Sing, at the time the most notorious penitentiary west of Devil's Island, was without a warden. Scandals had been sweeping through the pristin walls, scandals and ugly rumors. Smith needed a strong man to rule Sing Sing – an iron man. But who? He sent for Lewis E. Lawes of New Hampton.
"How about going up to take charge of Sing Sing?" he said jovially when Lawes stood before him. "They need a man up there with experience."
Lawes was flabbergasted. He knew the dangers of Sing Sing. It was a political appointment, subject to the vagaries of political whims. Wardens had come and gone – one had lasted only three weeks. He had a career to consider. Was it worth the risk?
Then Smith, who saw his hesitation, leaned back in his chair and smiled. "Young fellow," he said, "I don't blame you for being scared. It's a tough spot. It'll take a big person to go up there and stay."
So Smith was throwing down a challenge, was he? Lawes liked the idea of attempting a job that called for someone "big."
So he went. And he stayed. He stayed, to become the most famous warden of his time. His book 20,000 Years in Sing Sing sold into the
hundred of thousands of copies. His broadcasts on the air and his stories of prison life have inspired dozens of movies. His "humanizing" of criminals wrought miracles in the way of prison reform.

We struggle in today's world to hold people accountable in a fair and just manner when things don't go as planned. Nowhere is this more evident than in high consequence industries like aviation. We all want accountability, but what does that look like when any mistake, any choice, could have devastating outcomes? Outcome Engenuity's Just Culture Certification Course explores this very question and changes how industry leaders view the concept of justice. Synthesizing research from systems engineering, human factors, and the law, this course empowers leaders to make a difference. Leaders make an immediate impact upon returning to their organizations to improve investigations, reducing adverse events, and fostering a culture of curiosity, shared learning, and accountability.

Q: How can I get the script / exe directory with pathlib in python? I made a script in Python 3.9.2 that uses pathlib (pathlib.Path.cwd()) to get current script's folder
(I then made an .exe file using PyInstaller)
If i start the script/exe manually no worries, but if I use windows scheduler or i start the script /.exe without beeing in the current folder, pathlib.Path.cwd() (correctly) gets the current folder where I am, not the script's folder
e.g.
in windows terminal
cd [...]\folderWithMyScript
py myScript.py

works good but if I'm in my home directory C:\Users\myName and I start the script from there
py [pathToTheScript]

It wont' work (since he can't find some other folder which are below the script folder, the whole script uses a lot  .joinpath('something')
Thank you in advance!

A: VersBersch's answer should be the correct answer.
Path(__file__).resolve(strict=True).parent[]

A: pathlib.Path.cwd() will not give you your script's folder, it is to get the current work directory. A.k.a where you run the command to run the script. The correct way to get your script's folder is: os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
see How can I find script's directory?

A: So, in the end i gave up and used os lib
I did somethin like this (so i could still use the pathlib in the whole script)
trueDir = pathlib.Path(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

Thank you for all your kind answers !

A: Something important I just found out is, that you might run into troubles using __file__ if you're going to convert youre program into an executable file. Instead you should use sys.executable. Took me a while to find out...
source

A: file_path = os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

for get the path directory of .exe

True Railroad Realty, Inc. v. McNees Wallace & Nurick, LLC, No. 551 MDA 2021, 2022 WL 1152164 (Pa. Super. Apr. 19, 2022) (J. Stevens)
Summary judgment granted on legal malpractice action where plaintiff failed to timely produce an expert report.
Josh J.T. Byrne,
Alesia S. Sulock
The plaintiff in this legal malpractice action failed to produce an expert report by the deadline provided in the case management order. The trial court held that the plaintiff would, therefore, be precluded from offering expert testimony at trial and that such testimony was necessary to prove the plaintiff's legal malpractice claims. In affirming dismissal of the claims on this basis, the Superior Court found that the plaintiff "was given ample time in which to satisfy its evidentiary burden of producing an expert report but failed to act with due diligence to accomplish this" and, thus, entry of summary judgment was appropriate.

Major Crimes Winter Premiere 5×14 – Advance Review (spoiler free!)
JulesMango Major Crimes Movies & TV Commented by 0 users
After several very long, very torturous months that we had to endure without Major Crimes, the show finally returns next Wednesday with a brand new episode. The summer season ended with a thrilling three-parter, now Major Crimes is returning to its episodic format.
The opening of the winter premiere is very fast-paced and rather unexpected. It will have the audience at the edge of their seats from the very first second. The case of the week has the team investigate the murder of a young woman whose body was found in the L.A. River. While trying to do their job, Deputy Chief Winnie Davis (Camryn Manheim) makes the squad's life extra-hard, in particular Captain Raydor's. People who enjoyed the interaction and dynamics between Sharon Raydor and Brenda Lee Johnson in The Closer will probably have quite a blast watching the scenes with Mary McDonnell and Camryn Manheim. Though the relationship of their characters seems even more strained than the one of Captain Raydor and Chief Johnson ever was. Something that probably has a lot to do with the fact that both women are eyed as possible replacements for the recently deceased Assistant Chief Taylor and Davis sees Sharon as rather strong competition. However, Sharon has a clear advantage over Davis: The entire Major Crimes squad has her back.
Rusty starts an internship but he is rather distracted by some problems of a more private nature. As has already been seen in the promo, at some point during the episode, the young man will come to the very late but very true realization that his mother is a force of nature.
Unsurprisingly, also in this episode," Lieutenant Grumpy" aka Provenza will draw quite a few laughs from the audience. He throws around several of his memorable one-liners and brings back one of his most iconic quotes (in slightly modified forms).
In the meantime, long-term and patient Andy Flynn has a new device that keeps him busy and there will be a situation in the episode which will very much try his patience. It will probably also make the audience go "Whoa! Holy S***!"
All the shippers out there have a little something to look forward to. Especially if you pay attention to the way one of the couples looks at each other during a certain conversation.
Before we get to the end of this little advance review let's not forget that there is a new guy hanging out in the murder room: Wes Nolan (Daniel di Tomasso). He seamlessly blends in with the rest of the team. However, not much gets revealed about him in the episode so it is still too early for a conclusive evaluation of his character.
Make sure to catch the winter premiere of Major Crimes next Wednesday, February 22 at 9pm ET on TNT!

Q: Some Questions on Complexity
1) Reorder the following efficiency from smallest to largest:  2^n, n!, n^5, 10000, nlog2(n)

My Ans-> 10000 < nlog2(n) < n^5 < 2^n < n!
Correct ?

2) Efficiency of an algo. is n^3, if a step in this algo. takes 1 nanosec.  (10^-9 sec.). How long does it take the algo. to process an input of size 1000?

I don't know ... Is it (1000)^3 * 10^-9 ?

A: Question one is fine. Question two, I would guess your answer is what they're looking for, but  if by n^3 you mean O(n^3), you can't actually answer it (unless this is a use of "algorithmic efficiency" I'm unfamiliar with).
Big-O complexity gives an asymptotic bound on the behavior of the algorithm. We know, for "large" n, that O(n^3) is larger than the time taken to execute the algorithm on input of size n. Note the two caveats - "large n" and "asymptotic bound". There's nothing to stop an input of size 1000 taking twice as long as an input of size 2000, as long as there exists some m such that for all n > m, n^3 bounds the runtime. Also, there's nothing to stop the algorithm taking 1 nanosecond on every input, as n^3 is still a bound on the runtime - it's just very  pessimistic.
This is why big O notation is often of limited use in practical situations. It gives a fair "worst case" overview, but does not speak to any given usage scenario. For a more practically useful (but often overlooked) complexity class set, google for "Big theta".

A: Both answers are correct

A: 1) Yes, that's correct.
2) That is also correct. Dimensional analysis: (1000^3 steps) * 10^(-9) seconds/step


Handbook of Multicultural Counseling Competencies draws together an expert group of contributors who provide a wide range of viewpoints and personal experiences to explore the identification and development of specific competencies necessary to work effectively with an increasingly diverse population. Beginning with a Foreword by Derald Wing Sue, this unique handbook offers a broad, comprehensive view of multiculturalism that is inclusive and reflective. The coverage in this important book lies beyond the scope of traditionally defined multiculturalism, with discussion of historically overlooked groups that have experienced prejudice and bias because of their size, social class, age, language, disability, or sexual orientation.
Designed to help readers enhance general multicultural competency and their ability to provide services to the populations specifically described, this thought-provoking text will prove useful in facilitating ongoing dialogues about multicultural competence in all its variations.


The Man of Steel makes a return to the big screen armed with Zack Snyder's directing. He is also joined by a solid cast as well as the latest in special effects. Question is, does this live up to all the hype and is this enough to make people forget about the disaster that was the 2006 Superman.
I went into the IMAX theater with very low expectations. I knew that this was a reboot and also an origins story for the Man of Steel. I also went in not being at all excited from all the trailers I have seen so far. It also didn't help that there was a Pacific Rim trailer playing in the lobby area which I have seen about a hundred times and would have given 5 stars based on that alone.
This is an origins story for the Man of Steel as he takes us on his journey in growing up and learning how to control his powers and how to be a human, all the while without revealing himself. He also takes us on his first adventure when there is conflict that comes up in the world. Along the way, he meets friends, gain the respect of the human people and learns how to trust. The bad guy, Zod, is trying to get something from Superman and he won't stop for anything until he gets it.
Mr. Clark Kent aka Kal-El aka Man of Steel aka Superman is played by Henry Cavill (Immortals) and I liked how he portrays his role. (I haven't seen Immortals so this is the first time I'm seeing him in action). From being a shy and a very reserved younger Clark to becoming a slightly vulnerable and I-want-to-trust-humans person, until he evolves into the fully confident Superman, he plays all fairly well. His Lois Lane (Amy Adams) does a good portrayal of the cunning and ruthless reporter for the Daily Planet. The villain, Zod (Michael Shannon), does a lot of shouting in this movie and although I can understand what makes him so mad throughout, he didn't quite make me believe in the character that much.
The supporting were also ok. Russell Crowe plays and excellent Jor-El (Superman's dad) and I was happy to see him back in an actual fighting role so I can finally exorcise the image of him singing and jumping off bridges in Les Miserables. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane who play as Clark's earth parents in Jonathan and Martha Kent were also good. Kevin's always had that "mentor" vibe about him which makes him perfect for this role.
Some peripheral characters were ok… mostly. Laurence Fishburne still did a good job of playing Lois' boss from the Daily Planet, but I wanted to see them give him more speaking lines. If he had made one of his Matrix "What is real, How do you define real" speeches when they were talking about the possibility of aliens, then it would have made me very happy. The other cast: Zod's henchmen. OMG. Worst supporting cast ever. Unless there was some background story about Kryptonians having zero emotion, which they might have failed to mention, then I just saw some of the worst acting.
Superman's home world of Krypton was dying, his scientist father Jor-El takes a risk by sending their newborn child, Kal-El (Superman's real name), to earth. There he is found and raised by a childless couple from Kansas who teach him important values and how it is to be a human. You can see the really nice character development for the Man of Steel from being an angry kid, frustrated with his powers, to a confused child who does not know what to do with his powers. His dad is afraid of what people will do when they find out about him so he limits the interactions. As a result, he does not have any friends. The story evolves to him finding his own path in life, until he is able to start trusting humans.
Once his character has been established, they throw in Zod, who presents the conflict of trying to destroy the humans which Clark now holds dear. I like how they find a way to balance Clark's powers so that the fights are not one sided. The rest of the story tells on how Clark will be able to fight off evil. The best part I liked about the movie was how they were able to build each character. You understand each of their motivations and why they're doing what they're doing. Even the villain, Zod, you actually understand why he's causing all of this trouble. I just love stories where the villain's story is built like this as opposed to just pointless I'm-going-to-rule-the-world stories.
This is a Superman reboot. Which means that this is the story of the Man of Steel which we all already knew, told again. For someone who has seen a lot of Superman, this gives me nothing new. I did enjoy though seeing a new and revitalized Superman. I think that this was a good starting point which builds an excellent foundation for them to follow this up with a few more Man of Steel films. I can also see a possible collaboration between this Superman and Christian Bale's Batman and maybe someday even see the rumored Justice League movie. If you' must absolutely see Superman in his new briefless costume, then this movie is for you. But don't walk in expecting your mind to be blown. Because it won't.
Man of Steel comes from Warner Bros Picture and Legendary Pictures and is directed by Zack Snyder. It is now showing in Philippines theaters and IMAX.

Mission Statement of the Swanson Middle School Counseling Team
The mission of the Counseling Team at Swanson Middle School is to provide a comprehensive, developmental, dynamic and responsive counseling program that supports student achievement, working collaboratively with all stakeholders to nurture a love of learning in middle school students. By addressing the individual needs of this diverse community, in terms of social-emotional, academic and career development, school counselors create opportunities for students to have trusting relationships with at least one adult as they transition from elementary school to high school. Through proactive guidance lessons, individual and group counseling, programs and presentations, counselors equip students with the skills of self-advocacy, conflict resolution and educated decision making. Counseling initiatives promote resiliency, good character development and improved peer interactions. Counselors support the APS mission to help students transform into "productive and global citizens".
Through programming, data collection and the delivery of services based on needs assessments, state counseling standards and aligned with the ASCA National model, the Swanson Middle School Counseling Team provides valuable support to APS' strategic goal of "meeting the needs of the whole child." Our collaborative efforts support Swanson's collective goal to instill in each student a desire for "scholarship, service and spirit."
In confidential settings, students are assisted in understanding their feelings, attitudes, concerns, and behaviors. Counselors establish a relationship characterized by respect, understanding, openness, acceptance and trust.
Group counseling may assist students experiencing commonly shared concerns and/or developmental difficulties in areas such as interpersonal relationships with peers and/or adults, school attendance, academic achievement, or coping with life changes such as grief and loss.
Classroom Guidance
Through a series of planned classroom learning experiences, counselors assist teachers with meaningful activities targeting the personal, social, academic, and career development of all students.
Bullying Prevention Resources (6th Grade)
Cyber Bullying Resources (7th Grade)
Bullying Prevention: Labels, Stereotypes, and Prejudice (8th Grade)
Emotional Management
Empathy & Communication
Naviance (Career and College Exploration)
Course Request Forms (CRFs)
Counselors may confer directly with teachers, parents, administration and other helping professionals to assist students in the school setting. In this role, the counselor collaborates with others to assist the student in dealing more effectively with developmental or adjustment needs.
Counselors are responsible for the coordination of various services and activities in the school. Examples of these activities include crisis intervention programs, character education initiatives such as Admirable Admirals, parent and student orientation and education programs, parenting skills courses and peer mediation programs. Counselors often coordinate referrals to the school psychologist, social worker and various community agencies.
Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program
The developmental guidance and counseling program in Arlington Public Schools is composed of organized objectives and activities, based upon the National Standards for School Counseling Programs. The curriculum may be presented in classrooms or advisory groups. The objectives may be integrated into subject-area curriculums.
Home and School Partnerships
A positive relationship between school and home fosters the academic, social, and emotional growth of children.
School Counselors seek to involve parents in the school program, invite parents to review the school counseling program, protect the privacy of information shared by parents and children, and inform parents of situations or behaviors that may harm their child.

CHRIS SPORTS DARTER OF THE YEAR 2019
Two darters share the Chris Sports Darter of the Year 2019 award.
Mark Lumilang of Team Kumpadres and Noel Malicdem of Team Robson - Pasig City, tied at the top of the tight race for the Chris Sports Darter of the Year 2019 award. Both players topped the tally board at 530 points each.
Lumilang, who was recently conferred the NDFP Regional Master title, placed and earned points from a remarkable total of 26 NDFP ranking and sanctioned tournaments throughout 2019. From the 9th spot at the end of the 1st quarter, Lumilang jumped to 5th at the close of the 3rd quarter, behind Paolo Nebrida (#1), Noel Malicdem (#2), Michael Viola (#3), and Christian Perez (#4). After placing in six ranking events and winning three Open Singles in the 4th quarter, Lumilang landed on the top spot to tie with Noel Malicdem.
Malicdem, fresh from his second debut at the PDC William Hill World Darts Championship in London, shares the limelight with Lumilang. He placed in 14 ranking events, and managed to seal a total of six Open Singles titles this year. This is Noel's 3rd Darter of the Year award, earning the recognition in 2016 and 2017.
In second place is last year's awardee, Michael Viola of DOT-Cagayan De Oro with 518 points, just 12 points behind Malicdem and Lumilang. Viola placed in 18 ranking events and bagged 5 Open Singles championships. On 3rd place is Paolo Nebrida of Team Robson - Olongapo City, winning 7 Open Singles titles and placing in a total of 17 ranking events.

When considering the EU question, I asked myself what is the sustainable option for our environment?
Many green groups point to EU green legislation as reason to stay in. Yet the EU's commitment to free movement of people renders our government powerless to control the biggest threat to our natural world: human population growth.
Sir David Attenborough said 'our environmental problems become harder and ultimately impossible to solve with ever more people'. Sustainability relies on us doing two things: consume resources more responsibly and stabilise the number of consumers.
One without the other is pointless. Currently we are compounding our society's deeply unsustainable behaviour by increasing in number. Imagine in the unlikely event that we all recycled more, drove less, went vegan, bought less stuff, etc. A growing population would still require us to build over the green belt, destroy more habitats, import more food and burn more fossil fuels. Our ecological footprint would be the same if not worse.
Between 2004 and 2014 the UK's average annual natural growth (the difference between births and deaths) was 210,000 whereas average net migration was 243,000. Last year, net migration was 333,000. Bear in mind that 26 per cent of births since 2001 were to foreign born mothers meaning that migration has boosted our natural growth too.
Roughly half of net migration is from the EU. Considering that the EU's population is half a billion whereas the rest of humanity numbers about 7 billion, this proportion should be much smaller.
Those who argue that we need migration to support our ageing society seem to have forgotten that migrants get old too. Indeed this approach would mean that every passing generation would require more migrants than the last to balance the dependency ratio.
Migration is not a long term solution to the problems of an ageing society.
Projections suggest that the UK will number 78 million by 2037 and 132 million within a century. I suspect that long before these figures are reached, conditions will become so awful that people will stop coming or border controls will be tightened.
Currently the EU is denying us the freedom to do this. If we leave the EU, UK governments will be free to apply a fair system to all based on merit instead of applying the EU's racist system which discriminates against those born outside of the EU.
More importantly they would be better placed to stabilise population growth and safeguard our environment for all the people, plants and animals which live here.


They made Pedro chairman. Thuan plans to hire someone who speaks French. It has been a long time since we have been this happy. I hope that my car doesn't break down, and that I arrive at yours on time. Please make my bed. You said that Yvonne wasn't busy. That old book is a real find. We're all like her. It looks like you also want to buy it for Theresa. We arrived in Osaka the day before yesterday.
Mexico is experiencing unprecedented violence as drug cartels are battling over distribution routes. Darin won't get very far without any money. Ami's way of speaking got on my nerves. Why did you interfere in an affair that did not concern you at all? We should be in Paris by this time tomorrow. He knows how to advise people. The library keeps only one of each book. Sjaak graduated from college three years ago. We had to dip into our savings in order to pay the unexpected medical expenses. I didn't suspect anything.
He disguised his sorrow with a smile. It was I that came here first. Despite the great effort that we invested, we did not reach an agreement. Do you want to get something to eat? I do not oblige you to an excess payment. She is too sincere; sometimes it hurts me. Nick likes oolong tea. I held the conch to my ear and heard the ocean inside. Let me come, too. You don't swim very well, do you?
That's something you'll regret. I feel very happy. Every once in a while, I take my boyfriend a lunch while he's at work. Let me speak to her. Do you wanna go out with me tonight? Craig bought a bottle of red wine. Why is she sulking? Jwahar has got his whole life in front of him. We're a lot alike. They were not aware that I was not there.
I don't play tennis after school. What is the correct aperture in this light? I was really scared. Jeffie did it as a publicity stunt. Please tell them I'm sorry. Your birthday is coming.

As managing director and head of inclusion and diversity at Accenture North America for close to a year, Michelle Gadsden-Williams has spent a good portion of her business days "implementing strategies and interventions, designing processes and policies to ensure that we are as diverse and inclusive as we could be as an organization." That charge is vital to meeting the business objectives of the mammoth Dublin, Ireland-based management consulting and professional services firm that produced FY 2017 net revenues of $34.9 billion (North America's contribution was $16.29 billion).
A D&I champion who served in such leadership roles at financial services giant Credit Suisse and global pharmaceutical heavyweight Novartis, Gadsden-Williams intimately knows its value to the environment and objectives of complex, worldwide organizations. In edited excerpts from this exclusive interview, she shares, among other topics, how Accenture's "culture of belonging" works in tandem with talent recruitment and advancement as well as driving organizational creativity and performance.
From your vantage point, how have the dynamics of corporate diversity changed over the past decade?
Over the years, diversity has changed in that there's more emphasis and focus on inclusion more so than diversity. That's the most critical thing that I've seen change, at least in my tenure. I would define diversity as all the ways in which we differ, from gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, military, and other affiliations. Inclusion, however, is more about how we treat individuals, where they feel like they belong, where they have a seat at the table and feel a part of a whole. So it's more about the behavioral changes within a culture.
or in which you've been involved?
One of the things that attracted me to Accenture is the leadership around inclusion and diversity coming from the top. I met with Julie Sweet and Ellyn Shook, North America CEO and CHRO, respectively, and these are two women who were incredibly passionate. They had demonstrated their commitment and support to diversity for a number of years. I heard about Accenture's diversity strategies before I even joined. So what better way to flex your leadership muscles than to take on diversity practices in an industry that you're not familiar with and to have leadership that really embraces diversity and supports the strategy.
Accenture's mantra is "Diversity makes us stronger." Can you offer examples related to that principle?
Diversity certainly makes an organization like Accenture stronger. We pride ourselves on innovation and creativity. That's what drives our business. Bringing the unique perspectives of individuals to the table and ideation creates product. That's what creates problem-solving.
Are there any products, processes, or campaigns that evolved based on the connection to this diversity imperative?
How do you ensure that the attitudes at the top are embraced by other tiers of management?
Well, that's something we struggle with, like most organizations. It's all about accountability. The mandate has been set by our CEO and CHRO, and that makes its way down to their direct reports, regional leadership teams, and so forth. So there's a cascading effect and we hold people accountable in terms of performance achievement. We hold their feet to the fire in terms of what they support and don't support from a diversity perspective.
We provide our African American talent with a lot of support from sponsorship programs. We have what we call "Planning for Success" for our managing directors. We have employee resource groups that have a lot of exposure to our CEO and her direct reports. Every month, there's a different group that goes in front of the North America leadership team to talk about their mission, vision, values, challenges, and so forth. We ideate and come up with solutions together. Our African American ERG is quite strong.
Well, I think we have a very millennial-friendly organization. [Millennials make up more than 75% of the workforce.] I've worked for some industries that were a bit more stiff and stodgy, if you will. At Accenture, we have a lot of processes and practices in place where millennials gravitate to us. For example, the virtual nature of how we operate with Skype meetings and remote working.
We have an initiative called "Truly Human," which is creating an environment where everyone thrives…millennials, baby boomers and the like. We have a multigenerational employee population and we try to create an environment where it's conducive for every individual.
Today, it seems a part of the diversity equation is making sure that people feel that they fit within the organization from a generational standpoint.
So, what are the D&I priorities going forward?
Like most organizations, it's about the recruitment, retention, development, and advancement of talent. That's first and foremost. The second piece is around getting the culture to a place of belonging, where every single individual feels welcome, where they can realize their own ambition but also meet the business objectives of the company. And then the third piece I would say is just taking care of our people by creating that truly human environment. Letting everyone know that it's OK to work from home. It's OK to ask for what you want or the things that are going to make your work life easier. It's OK to be a part of the Employee Resource Group and that it's not a career limiting move at all. I think one of our really great messages is bringing your whole self to work.
Rah Thomas, a managing director at Accenture champions the company's directive: "making sure we are at the forefront of gender diversity and racial diversity." Thomas, who was recently promoted, assists clients with their cloud transformation journeys—specifically, he leads teams that run robotics applications, via the cloud. He is also the co-lead for Accenture's African American Employee Resource Group (ERG). During his time at Accenture, 15 years, Thomas has seen a lot of improvement in ethnic diversity at the company, "I do think there is a ways to go, across the board." He praises Accenture for "peeling back the onion" and providing transparency about its diversity.
Accenture has made its workforce diversity numbers public for the last three years. "We are transparent with our numbers," says Thomas. "[Accenture] has a real tactical action plan," he says when it comes to diversifying its workforce.
"We have to be transparent," Thomas says.

Postdoc Enrique Marcos (Barcelona 1982) is a chemist, a theoretical chemist to be exact. He has just published his first paper in Science, in which he explains how to computationally design the pocket-like cavities of proteins—essential areas that allow many proteins to perform their functions. And he has just been awarded a second Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Fellowship.
How can young scientists obtain funding to continue their research as postdocs? IRB Barcelona's Research and Academic Administration Department is here to help them. In the most recent workshop they organised, "How to be successful in your postdoctoral fellowship application", held on 12 July, in vivo approached the Irish chemist Eimer Tuite, Senior Lecturer in Biophysical Chemistry at Newcastle University (UK), and evaluator of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) to learn some tricks that might be useful for young researchers interested in applying for one of these grants.


In her first musical appearance since 2009, the world was expecting Britney to explode back on to pop scene with her new single, 'Hold It Against Me'. Well she certainly has created drama but not exactly in the way she had hoped. In fact things couldn't have gone much worse as she is being sued in a multi-million dollar lawsuit!
The song has been found to have "major similarities" to the 70's hit by The Bellamy Brothers, 'If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me'. Apart from the obvious difference of Britney's version being an electronically implemented tacky fest vs The 70's country classic, the lyrics are undeniably similar and David and Howard Bellamy are planning on meeting with their lawyers to take action.
It doesn't seem that there's any use in Britney shaking her buns in their faces either as David has openly said that their decision is already made,'Howard and I have no personal beef with Britney. She's a talented gal. But professionally we feel completely ripped off. We will without doubt take the appropriate legal action if our attorneys agree we've been ripped off.
Britney who's spokespeople have refused to make any comments yet flew back to her hometown of Louisiana last night with her kids and new beau Jason Trawick for a quick break from promoting her up coming album, 'Femme Fatal'. An aggressive promotional campaign is ensuring that Britney will not flop again as the music video was released in the US on Thursday and 14 sneak previews have already been exposed.
With overtime at the gym, her body is looking back to what we all used to envy but she is denying rumors that the dancer in parts of the video is actually a double. Several reports have said that Britney ran off the set in tears as she couldn't complete the choreography. We think that everyone should give her a break! The woman's had two kids for goodness sake! With what seems like drink and drugs as a thing of her past, it seems a shame that a small slip such as a multi million dollar lawsuit would take her back to square one.

Thomas Daly describes how the City of Reno and Washoe County could jointly save taxpayers $991,000 annually by consolidating emergency dispatch operations ["Ditching dispatch deal would save Reno, Washoe taxpayers money," Voices, March 26].
This is an excellent idea but is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the many ways our local governments could save millions of dollars annually by further consolidation of services, agencies and entire entities.
Do we really need three major governmental jurisdictions and several lesser governmental entities to serve a population of 435,000? What continues to drive the need for such duplication - egos, territorial protection, history, jealousy, or stubbornness?
We have a countywide health district, one primary water authority, a consolidated Reno-Sparks sewage treatment facility, a countywide library system, one regional detention facility, one regional crime lab, a regional emergency operations center, a regional dispatch facility, a countywide social services agency, a regional planning agency, a regional transportation agency, a single animal control agency and facility, a countywide senior services agency, a regional juvenile detention facility, and a regional coroner.
What this region does not need is three public works departments, three park and recreation departments, three legal departments, three human resource departments, three budget directors, three facility managers, three road departments, three court systems, three building inspection and permitting departments, six police agencies counting the school district police, UNR police and Airport Authority police in addition to Reno PD, Sparks PD and the Washoe County SO, or four fire departments counting the Airport Authority FD, RFD, SFD and TMFD. The overlapping and duplication of functions and services in this relatively small area is unnecessary and expensive, and most importantly often results in uncoordinated and inferior service. The consolidation of the TMCC and UNR police departments is a significant step in the right direction. Kudos to the two college presidents.
The three major jurisdictions should be consolidated into one metropolitan entity. An elected board of seven could adequately represent all of the citizens of the county. All seventeen elected commissioners and council members could retain their consolidated positions and gradually be reduced by attrition and term limits. A department head for each major responsibility could be selected, based upon seniority or other criteria, from among the existing department heads. Management and staff could be reduced by natural attrition to eliminate the redundancy over time. Budget savings may not be realized in the first few years, but would be significant in future years.
The process of consolidation will not be simple or painless, but the end result would be a single more efficient government entity. Legal issues will need to be addressed, but most importantly this end result will require council and commission members to have a long range vision to ensure the good of all citizens.
Darrell Craig is a retired Washoe County facilities director.

The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) estimates that corrosion costs $2.5 trillion to the global economy, or roughly 3.4% of the world's GDP, with $1.372 billion attributable to the oil and gas production industry. In 2017, the U.S. produced 14.72 million barrels per day, surpassing Russia's 11.3 million and Saudi Arabia's 9.96 million barrels per day. As America's pipelines continue to flow and develop, corrosion becomes increasingly challenging and costly, and the need for corrosion-resistant piping becomes more imperative.
Nobody knows this more than Superior Cladding. As a leading provider of cladding products for the oil and gas and other industries, Superior Cladding boasts 35 years of expertise, onsite welding engineering, and the industry's best welding systems. Based out of Houston, Texas, the company provides corrosion-resistant or hard facing cladding overlays to safeguard vital infrastructure, protecting surfaces from corrosion, impact and wear, prolonging component life expectancy while resulting in fewer replacements and repairs. To meet exacting industry expectations such as ASME Section IX, DNV-E101, NACE MR0175, and API: 6A, 16A, 17D, the equipment they use to apply their precision welded cladding solutions must be accurate, flexible, easy to use and extremely robust.

Q: java application for stand alone execution and as a jar library I want to create a java application that can be executed in two ways.
As a standard stand alone application, using main(args[]), and with in any java application using a jar, imported to that other application as an external library.
The problem i am facing is that i want to use the same function on both cases. This is causing be error, since i have to declare static the methods and variables when executed as stand alone application but as not static when i need to access it from an other application.
I have never done that before, so i am not 100% sure that this is a real problem. my past projects were always static all the way.
I am guessing i could bread my code in two classes, having the main on one and every other method on the other and use it as it was a separate project.
Is this a correct approach?

A: Try writing it like this:
public class DoubleDuty {
    // This is the main method executed using java -jar
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        DoubleDuty dd = new DoubleDuty();
        dd.complexApplication();
    }

    public void complexApplication() {
        // This can be executed by others who import this JAR.
    }
}

A: only one public static main() is necessary in you new class.
The main is always static, but you class can have instances.
You can call it by another class:
public class Class1 {
public static void main(String args[])
    {
    System.out.println("Class1 BEGINS !");
    }
}

public class Class2 {
    public static void main(String args[])
        {
        Class1.main(args);
        // or that
        Class1.main(new String[0]); beware if inside main , you read args !
        }

}
when you compile your jar as standalone, set the start to the other class:
Lauch Configuration => set Class1 or Class2
