It works, I changed the headheight geometry parameters :
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm,headheight=35pt]{geometry}

A: If the image in the header is larger than the header height, then it may push the footer off the bottom of the page, making it seem to have disappeared although it is really there, but invisible.
When the header height is too small for the content, fancyhdr prints a warning on the console complaining and telling you how big it needs to be. Pick a value at least this large and add
headheight=<whatever>

to the options you pass geometry.

Every aspect of a nursery school inspected by Ofsted has been graded as outstanding.
Batford Nursery School received the unanimous accolade after a rigorous inspection which looked at every aspect of life there.
The inspector noted that the children loved being there and by the time they left, they were confident and independent learners with attainment much higher than typical for their age.
Parents were effusive in their praise for the school and how their children flourished in both their personal and academic development while those with special needs and/or disabilities made rapid progress.
The nursery is the lead agency for the Harpen-den children's centre based at Batford and for the new centre currently under construction in Southdown.
The centres provide integrated services for young children and their families alongside the nursery and Skylarks day care offering year-round day-care provision.
Head teacher Madelaine Lee, whose leadership was described as inspirational, said: "I am proud to lead this outstanding nursery school in which all the children thrive.

Our bags are packed and ready to go. Your carseat is in the car, straped in and ready to go. Daddys guy trip is over and he is home. Momi has not slept in 2 nights because of horrible back pain.
I know you will come when you're ready but please speed the process up a little and dont make us wait to much longer to hug and kiss you!
So at my last Doc. apt he said your job for this week is to do some serious contracting... HMMM... I must have missed reading how to do that in all those pregnancy books.
Since I cant really physically do anything to help those along I have been talking to this little GIRL telling her she already has a to-do list and really needs to get started on it.
Cross my fingers that something will have progressed by next Tuesday.
We had a great Fathers Day weekend!Although Baby GIRL is not here yet Ryan is still my baby Daddy so he got to celebrate this year for the first time too! I am so grateful for such an amazing husband and soon to be Daddy to our little GIRL. Ryan is always doing something new to surprise me and never ceases to amaze me everyday. This pregnancy and transition into soon to be parenthood is really not what either of us expected. He has been such a rock for me and always makes me feel better no matter what happens. I still have to pinch myself when I think about being the lucky one to have Ryan be the father to my children. It's the dreams I have had my whole life come true x 1000!Harley and the Baby gave Ryan a tree stand for hunting!
Although he hasn't been able to get out into the wood and really break it in he has been climbing trees in our neighborhood everyday.
Ryan and I went to see The Hangover on Saturday night. I have to say I was surprised by how much I really like this show. I still have a few scenes stuck in my head that just crack me up anytime I think about it.
On Sunday we took a trip to the ZOO. It was so much fun to see all the animals. Addi was big enough to get really excited about all the different things she saw so it made it that much better!
Ryan got a little tiered throughout the day and kept finding ways to rest a bit. First he would 'ride' down any and every hill. Then he attached the waggon to his belt loop to pull it up the hills.
We are both so grateful for the Dad in our life. Ryan's Dad is just amazing. He always has so much love for everyone and is the best Grandpa in the world. I can't wait for our baby to pay with him and for him to teach her all those little things I don't want him to :) I couldn't imagine not having Randy in my life. There are time when I haven't seen him in a few days when I just miss him so much. I know Ryan feels the same. Good thing they work together so he gets to see him almost every day. They are best buds and forever will be.
My amazing sister Lisa made this adorable blanket for our GIRL. I cant get over how much I love it!
This bench has been in my family for years and years... It's been beat up and thrown around- I decided she needed to have it in her room so here it is... I sanded it down and repainted it myself!
This picture doesn't do justice to how amazing this doll house/book shelf is that Ryan built. It turned out better than I imagined and it's exactly what I wanted.
I can't wait until our little GIRL gets to play with it.
until we get to meet our beautiful baby GIRL.
There she is in there.
I have only known her to have the hicups once. She may have it more but I try to pay attention to what she is doing in there and only one time did I feel those little jerks for a long period of time.
I went to the doctor on Wednesday (yes im now going every week) he checked me to see if she is planning on coming anytime soon- NOPE... There is NOTHING going on down there! Im okay with that for now. Ryan is going on a last minute guys trip next weekend so I was very nervous she could come while he is gone. Our Dr. said he would be TOTALLY shocked if she came in the next 2 weeks. Good thing he will still carry his cell phone AT ALL TIMES and will only be a few hours away so he can rush home if needed.
For the last few months Ryan and I have been working so hard to make this little space comfortable and fun for our little Girl. When we moved in we realized throughout our whole house the previous owner's didn't know good color from bad and didn't know how to paint. Our front room was bright green, our kitchen was bright purple and our bathroom on the main level (which we still haven't been able to get around to repainting) is some weird purple/silver sponge paint job. Our bedroom (which we still have not been able to paint yet) is a strange blue color. The hall when we first moved in was polka dots- yes that has been painted. So has our kitchen and front room. We are slowing getting it all done! The baby's room- which was an office to the previous owners is a gray blue. It doesn't sound bad and these pictures don't do justice to how ugly this color was. Not only that- They only half painted. There were giant patches where they just didn't paint. They also had some kind of coke fight because there is coca cola splatter marks all over every wall- No matter how much we scrubbed we couldn't get them off so we painted over them. After a few coats you couldn't even tell they were there!
I cant say enough how much I LOVEEE my job. Not only my job but the people I work with. I am an executive assistant to the best boss in the world + 2. They make work enjoyable, challenging and exciting every day. The other people I work with are equally amazing. They go out of their way to see how im doing and feeling all the time. They help me with anything I need and everyone has been so supportive about me going out for 12 weeks on maternity leave.
Well yesterday this awesome group of people surprised me with a BABY SHOWER! I had NO idea anything was even being planned. I walked into the room full of great friends who all showered me with love and support- along with great food and great gifts.
"i was embarrassed to blow out my candles, i havent done that in like a year!"
ahh... this kid seriously cracks me up!
Last weekend we completed our childbirth class.
* We both learned a few things- I was more surprised by some things than Ryan was even though I have read the books already.
* I thought at one point, Hmm... Do I really want to do this? Is it to late to turn back?
* The only thing that really kept me from getting up and running out in tears a few times was Ryan grabbing my hand and knowing he will be there with me.
* The other thing that kept me from running out of there in tears was when we went by the nursery. Seeing those little babies made me realize I will be getting a little tiny, amazing present when this is all over and she is going to be totally worth it.
HELLO! I hope within the next week or so my body can start to adjust to the extra amount of water.
PS... This is 100 oz of JUST WATER... That doesn't include the Milk and other liquids I still need to be drinking.
Wow the time is seriously going by fast.
Guess that happens with being a first time Mom.
The belly is growing and so is Baby GIRL. She is moving A LOT. She has even tickled me. It was the weirdest/coolest feeling.
I am still not sleeping to great but I think I'm just getting prepared for the sleepless nights to come. My energy is hit and miss. Some days ill be ready to run a marathon and others I can barely walk to the kitchen.
Cooking has been my greatest weakness- I was fine to cook and even got my baking on for a few weeks but in the last week or so- I don't feel up to doing any of that. Good thing I have an awesome husband who actually likes to cook and does an awesome job at it!
Her name is pretty much final now but we are still not releasing it just in case.
We have a doctor apt tomorrow and it will be the last apt. before we start going every 2 weeks.
Her room is almost finished. Ryan has neglected to bring his drill home from work for a few weeks now and I just need to get her shelf hung up. He is starting on making her doll/book shelf this week. I cant wait for it all to be done!
Here is the belly at 32 weeks.
I'm so glad our pool has opened because I have been dieing to go swimming!
Our last little cabin get-a-way!
Another weekend getaway for the Websters!
Ry did manage to complete this awesome bench!
We had such a blast just being alone and away together. Time is ticking and we wont have many more of these little experiances left. We really couldnt have had a better weekend together.
Our last cabin picture with this belly and just the 2 of us!
Over Memorial weekend Ryan's Family always goes down to the Cabin to open it up for the Summer season. Last year we were snowed in most of the time and almost froze to death but this year for the most part was great weather!
** We took a drive to this place with a cool cave.
No one dared to go down into it.
** Addi kept us entertained the whole time. This girl has such an adorable personality. This is her "HULK" impression!
Harley loved her- Maybe a little to much at times.
** Just like last year or anytime we go camping Harley found her fair share of sticks and rocks to chew on.
** There are a few dead trees very close to the cabin- to avoid anything falling and crushing the cabin the boys stay on top of cutting them down and chopping it into fire wood. Now cutting down trees are more of a sport for these boys. Trying to impress each other to cut it down the fastest and this year- they had a target to try and hit!
They missed it by INCHES!
** I think their favorite part had to be the guys trips out on their 4 wheelers.


Here's a second recipe for kale and garlic scape pesto. The first uses walnuts and Parmesan cheese and can be found here.
Get out the food processor and place it on the counter.
Turn on the processor and grind the mixture until it starts to break down.
Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture as the machine runs.
Scrape the bowl into a quart canning jar with a spatula.
Spread some immediately on a slice of sourdough bread toast for the cook and any kitchen visitors. Screw on the lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
Fresh pesto keeps only briefly without oxidation in the ice box. If you want to use it way later, put the jar in the freezer.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers today expressed strong optimism that they will soon introduce a legislative proposal to help strengthen the retirement security of working families and ensure retirement advisors protect their clients' best interests. As bipartisan concerns continue to grow over a regulatory proposal by the Department of Labor that many fear will make it harder for low- and middle-income families to plan for retirement, bipartisan members are working to turn a set of principles into a legislative proposal that will help Americans save for retirement.
"In recent weeks, we have been working together to draft a legislative proposal reflecting the principles we believe will help Americans save for retirement. The growing bipartisan interest we have seen demonstrates the continued concerns many have with the department's approach and the need for Congress to offer a responsible solution. While we still have a few details to finalize, we are optimistic we will introduce a bill before Congress breaks for the holidays."
Promoting families and individuals saving for a financially-secure retirement is an essential public policy good.
Retirement advisors must serve in their clients' best interests and must be required to do so.
Retirement advisors must deliver clear, simple, and relevant disclosure of material conflicts, including compensation received and all investment fees to individuals saving for retirement.
Public policies must protect access to investment advice and education for low- and middle-income workers and retirees.
Public policies should never deny individuals the financial information they need to make informed decisions.
Investor choice and consumer access to all investment services -- such as proprietary products, commission-based sales, and guaranteed lifetime income -- should be preserved in a way that does not pick winners and losers.
Small business owners should have access to the financial advice and products they need to establish and maintain retirement plans and help workers save for retirement.

Boris Johnson as PR offensive
by Will Davies on 29th July 2019
Photo by Andrew Parsons/i-Images under Creative Commons license
Boris Johnson's main political and media skill is managing impressions. It was inevitable that his government would foreground this – but how, and with what consequences and risks?
The arrival of Boris Johnson in Downing Street looks to have unleashed a whole new style, scale and prominence of propaganda techniques. The splash on the front of today's Daily Telegraph, 'Johnson's £100m Brexit ad campaign', captures the new spirit and techniques. Firstly, there is the gung-ho 'optimism', which has served as the bare thread of justification for Johnson's premiership by all his supporters. The administration's newly adopted term (or really, logo, given its wholly performative nature) for this optimism-at-work is "turbocharging", which is being repeated across the airwaves like a reverie.
Second, there is the reference to World War Two, and the Churchillian allusion (though this hangs entirely on a quote from an anonymous Treasury source that "I can't imagine there has been a bigger 'comms' campaign than this since World War Two", which is incorrect). This continues the re-framing of Downing Street as a wartime bunker, that is in a state of urgent lock-down in defense of the national interest.
Thirdly, there is further evidence (to add to that witnessed over the leadership campaign) that certain newspapers have abandoned any effort to report critically on Johnson, and are willing to be used as mouthpieces for whatever information he and his team need distributing that week. The Daily Telegraph has become a sick joke in this respect, but The Sunday Times has also granted a string of 'exclusives' to Johnson (and another to Trump) which are earned at the cost of political scrutiny or scepticism.
Fourthly, and rather bizarrely, this particular story involves bragging about the scale and seriousness of an information war: it is propaganda about propaganda. There is a kind of signalling going on here, that this government is proudly in the business of mass mobilisation. Following three years in which liberals have expressed outrage at the dark and manipulative tactics of Vote Leave, Leave.EU, Cambridge Analytica et al, there is an unabashed pride about this message, which suggests that psychological influence will now be used to unify the nation rather than divide it. Placed in the service of the national wartime state, psy-ops becomes a badge of honour. To paraphrase the anonymous Republican strategist (Karl Rove?), 'you people can continue griping about post-truth; we're creating a new truth that is loyal to Britain'. The implication is that Brussels is soon going to find itself in conflict with an entire people.
Hovering behind all of this is the sense that an election might be imminent, and these new propaganda efforts intend to sow discord amongst the parties of Remain. The discovery that Johnson's team are testing hundreds of Facebook ads has fueled this suspicion further. Without wishing to add to the media hype surrounding Dominic Cummings' giant brain, his reputation for using confusion as a tactic would suggest that the deep uncertainty surrounding Downing Street's present intentions and strategy is quite deliberate.
How are we to interpret all of this? Is there something new going on, or is it just more cynical? The reason I think we need to use terms like 'propaganda' and 'psyops' (as opposed to ideology or hegemony, say) is that this isn't simply an attempt to frame and explain collective experience and evidence, but consciously to act on and alter impressions. It's less an attempt to forge a consensus about the nature of economic reality (via evidence and critique), than to coordinate how people feel and think about it.
In all likelihood, I think we are witnessing the coming together of different strands of public influence, some of which have very long histories, others of which are far more recent. This contributes to the new fusion of nationalism and neoliberalism that James Meek captures well in this essay, and that Quinn Slobodian is currently mapping. But the end result, once PR becomes the governing logic of the state, is that its power could be put to various uses, geopolitical, financial and (though this raises serious constitutional questions) electoral.
Origins of Johnsonism
Experiments in mass psychological manipulation are a long-standing feature of modern societies, dating back at least to the Napoleonic Wars. As an actively manufactured set of shared sympathies, myths, heroes and cultural markers, nationalism has always been a project in large-scale psychological influence. As I detail in Nervous States, Carl von Clausewitz marvelled at the fact that the Napoleonic armies appeared to share a common passion, of a sort previously unseen in warfare, thanks to the recent precedent of the French Revolution. He wondered what it would take for the Prussians to manufacture a similar emotional-military resource. Napoleon himself used propaganda sheets to exaggerate and lie about his military achievements to the French public.
Advertising, dating back to the late 19th century, brought a more scientific perspective to a similar challenge: how to produce an affective bond between a mass public and a product. A key difference is that advertising is primarily focused on the future (what will this product be like, what difference will it make to me and my life?) whereas nationalist communication is heavily focused on the past (great victories, sources of identity, origin myths). Nevertheless, the two became synthesised in the twentieth century with wartime efforts to boost 'morale', which aimed at increasing solidarity and enthusiasm (things that become increasingly important as warfare engages more non-combatants and involves aerial bombing).
The relationship between state communications and advertising has been one of frequent exchange over the past century. Edward Bernays' 1928 Propaganda demanded that politicians adopt the same techniques of mass persuasion as businesses had done, in order to render mass democracy viable and faintly predictable. Capitalism is a system that requires trade-offs between flexibility and commitment, and has always depended on various devices (credit scores, statistical models, brands etc) to achieve shared expectations of the future, that allow for coordinated change, as Jens Beckert has explored. These are crucial aspects of what Deleuze dubbed 'societies of control'.
The neoliberal era that followed the collapse of the Bretton Woods global monetary order generated additional types of psychological influence. The neoliberal political system and ideology emphasises that all situations are uncertain and competitive, and it is therefore up to all decision-makers – states, firms, investors, job-seekers, parents, students – to adopt a responsible, enterprising and flexible mentality, in approaching a fundamentally unknowable future. This makes impression management (especially impressions of the future) an essential technique at all scales of decision-making. Intuition and instinct become crucial cognitive tools, and targets for persuasion. We can see this on two fronts.
Firstly, agents are required to try and influence the expectations and impressions of those around them. Advertising obviously does this in relation to consumers (only more so under neoliberalism, with brands becoming effectively independent of the products they happen to be attached to), but new techniques of financial PR and self-marketing become critical. Central bankers are required to select their words with immense care, so as to convey the right impression to the markets. Social media 'influencers' are one of the more recent frontiers to be crossed, in this extension of a marketing and PR mentality into all corners of life. The anxiety of platform-based sociality is that any false step might lead to a sudden loss of reputation. As Michel Feher details, the dominant logic of neoliberal society is that of credit-rating, whereby social life exists in the shadow of evaluation technologies, which are constantly tweaking our reputations.
Secondly, agents are required to exert control over their own impressions of the future. This is where a 'positive attitude becomes a necessary psychological resource of executives, entrepreneurs, school pupils and everyone else. Positivity can even be drummed into people, as a way of forcing them back into the labour market. An expanding array of life coaching, positive psychology techniques, happiness classes and motivational techniques are all key elements in the forging of neoliberal subjects, for whom uncertainty is a type of resource, sustaining the belief that anything might yet happen in the future. This 'cruel optimism' can mitigate some of the disappointments of the present, though not indefinitely. At its most mystical (and cruel) this ideology insists that positive thoughts by themselves can deliver wealth and success – and that the absence of these things is therefore evidence of a bad thought pattern.
Nationalism meets neoliberalism
Boris Johnson's main skill as a journalist, politician and celebrity is impression management. He is renowned for his ability to shape how people feel in his presence, just like a good stand-up comedian (see my piece on this). Several former colleagues and employers have issued warnings about him, all of which have testified to his charm and enjoyable company, which he uses to deceive people with. None has declared him unlikeable. Newspapers and magazines, which ought to be in the job of reporting facts (or so we once hoped), have been unable to resist the entertainment factor he brings to both political reporting and comment.
It was always inevitable that, if he ever got into Downing Street, his leadership would be one that operated in the space of impressions, affects and deception, far more so than his predecessors. Of course, politicians lie and always have done. The worry with Johnson is that lies don't catch up with him in the same way, because he doesn't recognise that they matter (and, polls suggest, isn't judged according to normal moral standards by the public), and will happily change the subject when it suits him.
What's been less clear is how this strategy works, once scaled up to the level of national leadership. Comparisons to Trump are easy to make but there is a key difference emerging. Trump's daily propaganda war stokes divisions within the United States, taking aim at Democrats, ethnic minorities, Hilary Clinton, anyone who criticises him and mainstream media outlets, rallying his base with the support of Fox News and Breitbart. The gamble this represents is that he might eventually make so many enemies as to forge an electoral coalition that defeats him.
Johnson, on the other hand, nurtures images of national unity and harmony. Whether this really is because he wants to be Churchill, or whether it's because of the unusual conditions of Brexit (which allow him to frame Brussels and disparate forces of Remain as enemies), his rhetorical and affective spirit is one of constant enthusiasm and generosity. His leadership campaign and victory have been endlessly touted by his media and Westminster cheerleaders as a triumph of 'optimism' and 'cheerfulness'.
Populism is typically understood as a rhetoric of division (us against them), but Johnson is not known for saying very much about his enemies or deploying the rhetoric of demonisation and hate (except when it is under the cover of humour, as with his racist and homophobic comments). What he uses is closer to what's called 'cancel culture', whereby the enemy becomes ignored, no-platformed, blocked, eradicated from view, allowing him to sustain his persona as cheerful panel show contestant. He leaves it to his friends in the ERG and the Daily Telegraph to boo and to bully, when unwelcome facts, voices and sentiments come into view.
In this, we're witnessing the mentality and ideology of positive psychology, elevated to the scale of national propaganda. There are plenty of horrific stories of positive thinking programs in workplaces and workfare centres, in which everyone is included, welcome and valued – just so long as they don't bring a negative attitude. Accusations of 'negativity' serve as a justification for abandoning employees or friends, once positivity becomes viewed as a form of health, that spreads virally through a population. One of the grimmest cases I found while researching The Happiness Industry was of happiness guru, Guy Winch, who writes "If you find yourself living with or around people with negative outlooks consider balancing out your friend roster."
Meanwhile, as anyone who's heard Johnson's Conservative Party backers or media allies in recent weeks, 'optimism' really does appear to be a central part of his Brexit strategy. This too rests on the curious epistemology of positive psychology, that changing one's feelings and thoughts about something is a viable alternative to changing the thing itself. But that mentality needs to be seen in its neoliberal context: facts inhibit flexibility, in an economy pervaded by uncertainty. As Alan Finlayson wrote a while back, a central prop of Brexitism is the belief that "nobody knows" what is going to happen next. The past is no guide to the future, indeed nothing is a very good guide to the future, other than sheer bravado and courage.
This focus on national impression-management has been witnessed before, in relation to bond markets and foreign direct investment. The idea that politicians should not "talk down" the nation has been used for many years with respect to sterling, the implication being that markets will be influenced by a lack of confidence on the part of national leaders. The 'nation-branding' industry seeks to convey a positive impression towards global investors and mobile 'talent'. But it's not clear how "talking up" or re-branding Britain will do much to help attain a better Brexit deal. There's no evidence to think that Brussels cares how 'optimistic' Boris Johnson or The Daily Telegraph is about Johnson's chances. The bravado is therefore for the benefit of the British public, media and Westminster only. In that sense, it is closer to the tradition of nationalist propaganda and wartime morale-management than to that of financial PR or branding.
What's emerging, therefore, is a synthesis of nationalism (which has always been anchored in metaphors, stories and memories of war) and neoliberalism, that could also be harnessed for purposes of an election campaign, in which the distinction between the Conservative Party and 'the nation' will be weakened like never before. What nationalism and neoliberalism share is a suspicion of empirical evidence, and a quasi-mystical faith in metaphysical properties of some constantly evolving collective spirit, where the former finds this in a given people, and the latter in the price system. Together, this provides a fearsome set of resources to silence (or 'cancel') dissenting voices, that present hard facts of what is going on, and the challenges facing the country.
Johnson now has plenty of informational ammunition has his fingertips, via both the Conservative Party and the government. But the most valuable ingredient, unprecedented in the UK, is a set of newspapers that seem willing to serve as his tools, in persuading the country to feel positively towards a set of policies that will almost certainly make most people worse off. As positivity is elevated to a quasi-wartime national obligation, and as disdain is heaped on anyone who 'talks Britain down', reality itself starts to become nationalised.
There is, however, a serious political risk here, and it's the same one that Theresa May and her advisors grossly under-estimated in 2017. May had been pursuing a similar (albeit less vivacious) strategy to Johnson, positioning all her opponents as enemies of the 'national interest', and urging the country to rally behind her as some kind of unifying figurehead, who was above politics. Maybe her difficulties with spontaneity and public engagements rendered this implausible all along, but for a while it appeared likely to work (I was one of many who grossly over-estimated it, a month ahead of the election). What did for her was the large number of people who looked at this message of national unity, and saw nothing to identify with.
Maybe she wasn't Napoleonic or Churchillian enough; maybe a few more references to 'war' would have distracted people from their economic insecurity and anger. If Johnson and Cummings can generate a constant sense of chaos and surprise, it becomes harder to establish a basis for criticism and opposition. But the problem Johnson will have, sooner or later, is – as any devotee of positive thinking hacks will tell you – 'negative thoughts' can be eliminated for only long, but sustained negative experiences are eventually impossible to ignore and silence altogether.

The United States Senate has sent a letter to the US Treasury, calling for better enforcement of the World Bank's social and environmental rules. These rules, the so called 'safeguards', are meant to prevent the World Banks projects from causing social and environmental damage. But these safeguards are not always adhered to, and are likely to become even weaker as the Bank's Board is currently revising them. Therefore, Pieter Jansen from Both ENDS, together with different partners from civil society organisations from all over the world, informed Republicans as well as Democrats about the negative consequences of the investments of the World Bank on local communities. Successfully, as the letter shows.
"5 million hectares in the Niger desert has been transformed into a lush landscape, where trees flourish, crops prosper and livestock thrives!" dr.Abasse Tougiane exclaims enthusiastically. "This is an area larger than the Netherlands!" We are present at the lecture about the successful initiative to regreen Niger, given by Abasse and his colleague Toudou Adam at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The room is almost completely full; obviously not only officials of Foreign Affairs, but also scientists, delegates from NGO's and representatives from the private sector are interested in the subject. The question on everyone's mind is: 'how can this be so successful where an initiative such as the Great Green Wall so sadly failed?
Over the past 15 years the production of palm oil has increased enormously, and not without reason: palm oil, pressed from the fruit of the oil palm, is cheap and is used in many different products. It is processed in ice cream, chocolate, margarine and sauces, but also in personal care products and cosmetics such as lipstick, detergent, toothpaste, soap and biofuel. Unfortunately, the large demand for palm oil has quite some negative side effects: large-scale deforestation, pollution, 'land grabbing' and above all human rights violations are common practice in countries where palm oil is produced.
The Dutch development bank FMO and the Finnish FinnFund announced this week that they are seeking 'a responsible and legal exit' from the Agua Zarca project in Honduras. Last week, it was reported that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the murder of human rights activist Berta Cáceres, who opposed the project for many years. One of those arrested is the manager for social and environmental affairs of DESA, the company implementing the Agua Zarca project. Because the company is a direct client of FMO and FinnFund, the banks consider the arrest good reason to take action.
Kick-off meeting for Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action!
This week more than thirty representatives from organisations from all over the world are coming to Amsterdam. What do they have in common and why do they meet? They all work – in their own contexts – on sustainable development, the environment, protecting human rights or specifically on gender equality and women's rights. And they are all somehow connected to the three organisations that work with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 'GAGGA', the Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action.
From April 19 to May 5 a delegation of four Indigenous Lenca activists from Honduras will be visiting five European countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Germany and Spain) to engage with Members of Parliament, policy makers and NGOs, discuss with financiers, join national protests at financiers and talk to media and the general public about the repression and impunity in their country. The main goal of the delegation's visit is to stop the involvement of these countries in the Agua Zarca projects and other projects impacting the indigenous Lenca people in Honduras.On March 2, 2016, Berta Cáceres, the internationally-renowned Honduran human rights and environment defender and Lenca indigenous leader, was murdered, after leading for several years the struggle against a hydroelectric project along the Gualcarque River, also known as the Agua Zarca Project.
After the second shocking murder of an indigenous rights activist in Honduras in less than two weeks the Dutch development bank, FMO, and the Finish development bank, FinnFund, announced a suspension of all their operations in Honduras. They declare that they will no longer engage in new projects or disbursements in the country, including in new disbursements in the Agua Zarca Project.
In 1959, Germany and Pakistan signed the first Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) in the world. Without knowing, they marked a new era as many countries have followed their example since then. Currently, the international legal system that governs international investment flows consists of about 3000 BITs and other international investment agreements (IIAs). While originally these treaties were thought to be beneficial for the investor and the host state in terms of economic growth, increased foreign investment and development, many host states have suffered negative consequences instead of benefiting from them.

Fiat Chrysler To Spin Off Ferrari But Retain Maserati Because Maserati Is A Better Car.
>> 1952 Ford Crestline V8 — Sep. 30, 2014.
During my morning ritual of listening to an hour of CNBC financial news while lying in bed, drinking coffee and reading 'stuff' on my 10.2″ Le Pan pad, I heard on Wednesday morning that Fiat Chrysler intends to spin off Ferrari as a separate company. Made sense to me. Ferrari owners must be fed up of hearing jokes that their $300K is nothing but a souped up Fiat.
Just wished that I had had the foresight to own Fiat Chrysler shares before this announcement. I might toy with looking into getting a couple of shares in the new Ferrari company. Though I have driven in one once that will be about as close to Ferrari as I will ever get. If nothing else the ground clearance on Ferrari's just don't lend themselves to dirt roads like the one that I live on.
Then I heard one of the CNBC clowns claiming that Fiat Chrysler was keeping Maserati because it was a better brand. I cannot comment on that. I do not know either of these makes BUT it put in mind something that I am more familiar with: Rolex vs. Ebel.
Ebel, hands down, is a better timekeeper than Rolex. But nobody in the U.S. other than the true cognoscenti have heard of Ebel. So Ebel, other than in the right circles, has no status, cachet, in the U.S. So folks buy and wear Rolexes.
Well to me that is what it boils down to with Ferrari and Maserati. Ferrari has the 'pulling power'. Maserati will only be appreciated by the experts. Offering a young lady a ride in your Maserati, in most U.S. cities, probably bar L.A., will probably be misunderstood to you trying to be crude. But you say Ferrari — and you are all set.
So Rolex vs. Ebel. Ferrari vs. Maserati.
Now I remembered. I really must keep an eye out for a real cheap Ebel.


Healthy Life is Australia's house of 'feel good'. Self-care of continual situations is one other main area where digital health can be used to help sufferers remain medically steady. For instance, adults with diabetes can use sophisticated cell know-how, akin to WellDoc and Livongo , to effectively manage their life and circumstances, decreasing the need for in-particular person encounters. Subtle analytics can monitor, trend, and assess patient- and medical gadget-offered knowledge, comparable to blood glucose levels. The identical expertise can prompt and recommend a personalized self-administration plan — and that plan can evolve because the patient's health standing modifications. An Accenture analysis discovered that when making use of digital health to just one situation, diabetes care, the clinicians' time that can be launched for different uses is equal to roughly 11.9 million hours saved throughout the PCP workforce.
In psychological health providers, Eire-primarily based SilverCloud has mixed cognitive behavioral remedy and asynchronous care with in-person remedy, to point out simply how efficient sensible technology might be in boosting productivity and offering significant services — enabling six occasions extra users to obtain care. The platform also allows patients to have the choice of remaining nameless, which can help forestall them from avoiding the formal care system due to concern of being stigmatized.
Healthy Life is Australia's dwelling of 'feel good'. It sounds far-fetched, but our society has already made great strides towards that goal, thanks to advances in medication and improvements in healthy residing. In 2014, for instance, the United States Health Interview Survey reported that sixteen% of individuals aged between 50 and 64 have been impaired every day with persistent illness. Three many years earlier that quantity was 23%. In other words, in addition to benefiting from longer lifespans, we are also experiencing longer healthspans" – and the latter is proving to be much more malleable. To paraphrase and replace a speech from John F Kennedy given on the first White House Convention on Ageing in 1961, life can certainly be added to years, moderately than just years added to life.

Launched in the week of the verdicts in Britain's longest terror trial, The Islamist could not be more timely. Operation Crevice revealed an underworld of young Muslim men ready to kill. Ed Husain's memoir exposes some of the mind games that led them there.
His journey from theatre-loving schoolboy to Islamic fundamentalist begins in primary school in the 1980s, where he plays with 'Jane, Lisa, Andrew, Mark, Alia, Zak' and learns about Islam from his family and a spiritual guide he called 'Grandpa'. His father, a devout Muslim opposed to Islamist views, ignores the advice of Husain's teachers not to send his son to Stepney Green, an all-boy, all-Muslim secondary school, a decision he will later regret.
Soon, Husain identifies himself not as British or Asian, only Muslim. He describes his journey towards fanaticism as gradual, first coming across Islamism in the school textbook Islam: Beliefs and Teachings by Ghulam Sarwar, which says: 'Religion and politics are one and the same in Islam.' Enticed by its teachings and encouraged by a close friend, Brother Falik, Husain becomes drawn towards Islamism and the formation of the caliphate, a transnational Islamic state with a central foreign policy of jihad.
Husain names people he says share these ideas, including members of the Muslim Council of Britain and leaders of the East London Mosque, where, for the first time, he feels he belongs. Here, he begins to believe in a divided world in which the only side that matters is the Muslims. Husain's is a disturbing picture. Attempts by his distraught parents to change his mind are a 'test from God'. When his father makes him choose between Islam and the family, Husain runs away.
By the time he attends Tower Hamlets College, he has become leader of the influential Islamic society, bringing hardline homophobic and anti-semitic speakers in to lead debates such as 'Hijab: put up or shut up'. Husain turns to the more militant Hizb ut-Tahrir: successful, articulate professionals reinforce his nascent views. He spends two years involved with a Hizb cell. Friends who disappear to training camps later become key figures in al-Qaeda.
In the end, it is Islamism's disregard for Islam itself that moves him to reject fundamentalism. 'True faith had not touched my heart in a decade,' he says.
Husain is appalled at the way unelected and unaccountable Islamist groups are portrayed by the media as representative. This captivating, and terrifyingly honest, book is his attempt to make amends for some of the wrongs he committed. In a wake-up call to monocultural Britain, it takes you into the mind of young fundamentalists, exposing places in which the old notion of being British is defunct.

A six-mile paved walkway overlooking the beautiful Columbia River. In addition to the remarkable views, guests can explore the statues, shops, cafes, docks, and historic canneries dotting the path. Guests, who wish to, can choose to board the riverfront trolley that runs along the banks for an extra fee. The Astoria Riverwalk, also known as the Astoria River Trail, stretches the entire length of the city's waterfront, connecting restaurants and breweries, museums, and dozens of other attractions. It passes under the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the largest continuous truss bridge in the United States, arcing out across the Columbia River toward the hazy hillsides of Washington state. The trail follows the route of the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad that was completed in 1898.
As one of the best-preserved examples of Queen Anne architecture in the Northwest, the Flavel House survives today as a landmark of local and national significance. The house was built as a retirement home in 1885 for Columbia River bar pilot, Captain George Flavel, and his family. The Flavel House has been restored and furnished to portray the elegance of the Victorian period and the history of the Flavel family. Its decorative exterior, with hipped roof, balconies, and verandas, is distinguished by a fourth-story cupola. The interior of the home features original Eastlake influenced woodwork, period furnishings, six exotic hardwood fireplace mantels, and fourteen-foot ceilings with plaster crown molding and medallions.
This magnificent monument stands 600 feet above sea level and gives the perfect view to Young's Bay, the Coast Range, the Columbia River, and in the distance, even the Pacific Ocean. Ralph Budd initiated the project to celebrate Astoria's early settlers. He hired Italian immigrant and artist Atillilio Pusterla to model a piece inspired by Trajan's Column in Rome, featuring hand-painted spiral frieze work, stretching over 500 feet if it were to be unwound. The Astor family, with the help of the Great Northern Railroad, generously donated the column to Astoria in July of 1926.
Astoria's Old City Hall building, a neoclassical structure designed by prominent Portland architect Emil Schacht in 1904, is home to the Historical Society's collection and archive. Clatsop County's rich and exciting history is featured in the museum's permanent and changing exhibit galleries. Objects on display include a 1,000-year-old hunting implement, finely crafted 19th-century Chinook and Clatsop Indian baskets, and a sea otter pelt and beaver hat which illuminate the early history of Astoria. Logging and fishing, the two economic mainstays since 1870, are represented in collections of tools, equipment, and photographs. The stories of the many diverse ethnic groups that settled in the area are depicted in the Emigrants Gallery. A recent addition to the Heritage Museum's exhibits and located on the second floor, is "Vice and Virtue in Clatsop County: 1890 to Prohibition." The gallery contains a partially reconstructed saloon and illustrates Astoria's seedy past when the town was known along the West Coast for its infamous saloons and brothels.
Enjoy the beautiful, paved walking trails, a pond, and scenic overlooks. The Discovery Center is located in a beautiful and unique ecosystem native to the area. The multimedia, interactive museum inspires appreciation and stewardship of the natural and cultural treasures of the gorge and Wasco County. Exhibits focus on the volcanic upheaval and raging floods that shaped the gorge, the unique flora and fauna of the region, and 11,000 years of cultural history. In addition to touring the many fascinating exhibits, visitors can spend time viewing the museum's incredible Raptor Program, with live birds of prey presented daily or take the pond walk and view the native plants.
In 1854, The Dalles was designated by the Territorial Legislature as the county seat of one of the largest counties ever formed in the United States. Wasco County extended from the crest of the Cascade Mountains to the Great Divide in the Rockies and encompassed 130,000 square miles. Construction began in 1858, under the supervision of Judge Orlando Humason, who was the first county judge and also the chairman of the Board of Commissioners. This small courthouse was used as a public meeting place, church services, as well as the seat of law for the county.
Discover the history of this historic and beautiful city. Use this opportunity to learn about the many attractions and buildings, and get a listing of the best places to grab a bite to eat, get a fine glass of wine, find a pharmacy, or do the most unique shopping. The friendly hosts will assist you in any way possible while informing you about their hometown.
Located in the former fort's Surgeon's Quarters built in 1856, the Fort Dalles Museum opened in 1905, making it one of Oregon's oldest history museums. Take a tour of the unique collection of pioneer and military artifacts at one of the old west's most pivotal places in history. Enjoy walking on the grounds of this military fort and viewing the historic collection of wagons and antique vehicles. The collection holds over 30 wheeled vehicles, including a stage coach, road-building equipment, a covered wagon, two horse-drawn hearses, the Umatille House bus, and a surrey once owned by Oregon's seventh governor, Zenas Ferry Moody. Explore the hand-hewn log buildings of the Anderson Homestead, including the pioneer house, granary, and barn.
The Dalles Commercial Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Spend the day exploring this city's extraordinary boutiques, exquisite cuisine, and beautiful historic structures. Walk the streets of this peaceful and quirky river-town and admire the intricate murals that line the walls and streets of The Dalles. A multitude of murals wrap around the city, depicting important moments in their history.
This highly interactive museum is a favorite for many along the river. Enjoy a day of discovering the unique exhibits and artifacts that fill the museum. The mission of the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum is to share the story of Skamania County and the Columbia River Gorge. Make sure to visit "First People," an exhibit focusing on the history of native people of this area – the cascade chinook. Then stop over at the "Grand Gallery" which is the largest gallery in the museum that showcases how to harvest resources and focuses on the timber industries throughout the gorge.

In 1906, local architect James Arnot, who also designed buildings on Lewiston's Main Street, drew the plans for this $6,000 Tudoresque home. Kjos, an early merchant, named his home "Bridablik," which loosely translates from Norwegian as "the house up high with a broad view." In 1910 Mr. Kjos moved to Spokane, Washington, and sold this house to E.A. White. White made many upgrades to the home, including the addition of five bathrooms, a sleeping porch on the second story, and upgrading the house from coal to gas in 1924. The home was sold three more times until Larry and Kathy Schroeder purchased the home in 2006. They have fully restored the home and were awarded two City of Lewiston Historic Preservation Orchid Awards for their work.

After exploring the main museum, visitors are encouraged to tour the 1897 Heritage House, which illustrates an early Lewiston residence and life in a developing Western town in the early 1900s. The museum stands at the former site of Lewiston's first permanent building, the Luna House. The Luna House served as a hotel, stage stop, and county courthouse and jail. The hotel was torn down in 1890. The current Art Deco style building was constructed in 1937 by the Works Progress administration as an office building and was converted into the Luna House Museum in the 1970s. Later, the Historical Society changed its name to better identify itself as the institution that is preserving Nez Perce County history.

I love this modern take on a classic Grace Kelly 'do on the radiant Frieda Pinto. L'Oreal Paris Celebrity Hair Stylist Mara Roszak created the look for Frieda's appearance at last night's 30th Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Here's how to recreate it yourself, in Mara's words.
Step 1: I started by applying L'Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Blow Dry It Blow Out Thermal Smoother Cream ($4.99) to towel-dried hair.
Step 2: Then, I below out hair with a small round brush, and after each section, pin curled the hair. Because Freida has a new bob, some of the shorter pieces were curled under and not pinned up.
Step 3: While hair was cooling in the curls, I sprayed L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold Unscented ($14.99) all over lightly for hold.
Step 4: I released the curls and gently brushed through the hair with a paddle brush.
Step 5: With a 1" barrel curling iron, I wrapped section of the hair towards her face creating an old Hollywood wave. The front section of Frieda's side part was curled away from the face, and pinned in place creating an "S" shape in the front.
Step 7: To create extra shine, I finished by spraying L'Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Sleek It Strand Smoother Serum Spray ($4.99) all over.

My friend and collaborator, Brian Eno, recently mentioned to me an organization he is involved with. ClientEarth is an organization that has taken a somewhat unique approach to pushing for change regarding issues of pollution, fossil fuel emissions and more. Comprising a team of legal experts, they look for areas where regulations are being ignored or not being enforced and where legal violations have been unaddressed—and then they take action. They bring lawsuits against states and regions in order to effect change. It's a slow process, and there's no guarantee of success, but in two well-documented cases their approach has produced positive results.
Following a case brought by environmental lawyers representing ClientEarth and Deutsche Umwelthilfe, Germany's top administrative court ruled in February 2018 that German cities have the right to prohibit diesel cars. While this ruling has not yet led to the direct authorization of such bans, restrictions on diesel car usage in the country's most polluted cities are expected to be ratified by the end of 2018. Analysts predict the number of diesel cars being produced in Europe (which made up 52% of all new vehicles in 2015) could be cut nearly in half by 2025.

The UK government has announced plans to increase pollution taxes and ban all new diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles by 2040 in response response to the country's failure to meet European Union emissions standards.
As a result of ClientEarth's recent lawsuit against the UK government, the judge overseeing the case ordered local authorities to implement new actions to remedy the country's high levels of air pollution. The pollution is so bad it is considered a national health emergency, causing about 40,000 early deaths a year.
The latest ruling resulted in a judgment that will allow ClientEarth to monitor the government's actions and bring it back to court without having to apply for judicial review if it fails to remedy the issue. Moreover, the government was ordered to produce a compliant supplement to the 2017 Air Quality Plan for forty-five areas in England by October 5, 2018. The lawsuit also requires the creation of a Welsh Air Quality Plan by the end of July 2018.
So, though some of these regulations have yet to be put into effect, the road ahead is clear. There seems to be no doubt these changes will happen and that emissions will fall.
One wonders whether legal action might be a way to effect change in other areas beyond pollution as well—why not?


For our final day on the South Coast we went kayaking on Durras Lake: Or at least that was the theory.
We got kitted out and set off and within minutes Declan was complaining of feeling sick. I must admit our first reaction was to blame the ridiculous breakfast he'd had, but as the feeling didn't fade I turned back with him after another 20 minutes. We then proceeded to have a nice time back at the beach watching people and chatting while Jennifer and Callum explored the lake.
Declan eventually dunked himself in the cool water and that seemed to help immensely. Enough that when Jennifer and Callum returned from up the lake we could all explore down the lake towards the ocean. And enough that when we stopped Declan and Callum could spend a fabulous few minutes splashing and dunking each other.
By the time we got back home though it was obvious Declan was actually ill. Enough so that we were forced to cancel a BBQ with our friends because Declan would and his now permanently attached bucket would have been an unpleasant addition to the feast.
Luckily, and thanks to some drugs, Declan slept through almost all of the drive home and is not safely tucked up in his own bed.
I do hope Declan is better. Nothing worse being sick on the holidays. Happy New Year.

The dryer has been mainly used for drying materials with some humidity and granularity in the fields, such as ore dressing, building materials, metallurgy, chemical industry, etc. The rotary dryer is highly adaptable to materials.Divided into direct heat transfer rotary drum dryer and indirect heat transfer tube dryer, the dryer is also known as drum drying equipment or cylinder drying machine, mining equipment, the most common and widely drying equipment. Rotary dryer is used for drying material with humidity or granularity in the industries of mineral dressing, building material, metallurgy and chemical. It can be used for drying many kinds of materials such as limestone slag, coal powder, clay stone etc.
This dryer includes circular body, tossing flitch, transmission device, assisting device and sealing ring. The dryer of our factory adopts new type tossing flitch product which includes multi- functions such as assistance, present sharing and material throwing and may make the supplies distributing uniformly on the radial section of the dryer pole building prices. So your content layer become lean, even and universal and exposed to the hot current entirely therefore the heat energy is fully employed. The right operation parameter is selected by the dryer in our factory, the coal consumption and power consumption is 10-15% lower than general dryer, and the production hourly is 10-15% higher. It's popular in the cement and beneficiation industries.
Dry wet material from the belt conveyor or bucket elevator to the hopper, then through the feed pipe into the feed end of the hopper feeder. The feeding pipe slope is greater than the natural inclination of the material, so that the material smoothly into the machine dryer. Dryer cylinder slightly to tilt with a horizontal rotating cylinder. Materials from the upper end in the heat carrier from low-end to enter into countercurrent contact with the material, but also the heat carrier and the material together and flow into the cylinder. As the drum material by gravity to run to one end than at the end. The wet material in the cylinder body to move forward, directly or indirectly to the heat of the heat carrier, the wet material to dry, and then sent by belt conveyor or screw conveyor at the discharge end.
Rotary drum dryer is mostly used for the drying of products like clay, slag and coal dust in building material industry or metallurgy sector, and using slag in metal beneficiation. In order to control the temperature of the dryer, a thermocouple that may show the temperature change of the dryers feeding and discharging ends is allotted on the feeding and discharging devices.
This offers support for the greater management of the working temperature (standard 350-380 centigrade) in the drum. Rotary drum dryer is used in the drying of graininess substance, and sticky substance content or high moisture material with the addition of materials. Its advantages: great manufacturing capacity, wide rang of application, small flow rate resistance, significant variation range in treatment and practical procedure. It is most found in the drying of sand, mineral powder, coal slurry, chicken manure and dairy manure.
In the walls of the cylinder body equipped with a copy board, its role is to copy the material up and planted, so that the contact surface of the material and airflow increases, in order to improve the drying rate and to promote the material forward. The heat carrier is generally divided into the hot air and flue gas. Heat carrier through the sand dryer later, it normally takes the cyclone dust carried by materials within the gas trapping. For further reduce exhaust gas dust content, should also be put through a bag filter or wet dust collector and then emissions.
