UNESCO-Clubs sind die Basisorganisationen der UNESCO. Ihr Ziel ist es, die Ideale der UNESCO in der Bevölkerung zu verbreiten und so die Arbeit der UNESCO und ihrer Nationalkommissionen zu unterstützen.

Rechtliche Grundlagen

Die Deutsche UNESCO-Kommission (DUK) erteilt auf Antrag solchen Vereinigungen das Recht zur Führung des Namens und des Signets der UNESCO, die nach ihrer Satzung und im vereinsrechtlichen Rahmen ausschließlich gemeinnützige Zwecke im Sinn der UNESCO-Verfassung verfolgen. Hierzu hat die DUK  "Richtlinien für die Bildung von Freundeskreisen" verabschiedet. Die UNESCO-Clubs bestehen ausschließlich aus ehrenamtlichen Mitgliedern. Sie finanzieren sich aus Mitgliedsbeiträgen, Verkaufsaktionen und Spenden.

Geschichte, Rechtsform und Organisation

Die ersten UNESCO-Clubs wurden 1947 in Japan gegründet. Heute gibt es weltweit etwa 5.000 UNESCO-Clubs, -Vereinigungen und -Zentren in 120 Ländern. Sie sind im Weltverband der UNESCO-Clubs (World Federation of UNESCO-Clubs and -Associations: WFUCA) zusammengeschlossen.

Ziele und Tätigkeiten

Während die UNESCO-Kommissionen als konstitutionelle Partner das jeweils nationale Organ der UNESCO in einem Mitgliedstaat darstellen, ergänzen die UNESCO-Clubs als institutionelle Kooperationspartner die Arbeit der UNESCO an der Basis. Um der Bevölkerung die Ziele der UNESCO näherzubringen, verbreiten die Clubs Publikationen der UNESCO und treten mit Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen an die Öffentlichkeit. Auf ihrem Programm stehen Themen wie das UNESCO-Welterbe, um die Bedeutung außereuropäischen Kulturguts zu vermitteln, oder Studienreisen, die das interkulturelle Verständnis fördern sollen. Bei Auslandsreisen legen die Clubs Wert auf Kontakte mit Gleichgesinnten und auf den Austausch mit UNESCO-Clubs in anderen Ländern. Persönliche Kontakte vertiefen die Kenntnis fremder Sprachen und Kulturen und helfen Brücken zu bauen.

Ein wichtiges Arbeitsfeld der UNESCO-Clubs ist die Spendenwerbung für so genannte Co-action-Projekte mit Partnern vor allem in den ärmsten Ländern Afrikas, Asiens und Lateinamerikas. Bei den Co-action-Projekten geht es um den Aufbau von Schulen, Kindergärten, Bibliotheken oder Lehrwerkstätten, aber auch um den Bau von Bewässerungsanlagen oder die Anschaffung landwirtschaftlicher Gerätschaften. Die Projekte bieten Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe. Sie haben Modellcharakter und berücksichtigen auch kulturelle Traditionen und wirtschaftliche Gegebenheiten der jeweiligen Region. Die UNESCO-Clubs in Deutschland haben viele solcher Co-action-Projekte unterstützt, unter anderem ein Behindertenprojekt in Sri Lanka, ein Ausbildungszentrum für Mädchen in Burkina Faso, Schulprojekte in Ghana und Tansania, ein Zentrum für Straßenkinder in Indien oder eine Dorfbibliothek in Douka, Senegal. Über ihre Projekte informieren die UNESCO-Clubs auf ihrer Website.

UNESCO-Clubs in Deutschland

In Deutschland wurde der erste UNESCO-Club im Jahre 1951 in Berlin gegründet. Derzeit bestehen vereinsrechtlich organisierte Clubs in Aachen, Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Essen-Kettwig, Frankenthal, Hannover, Joachimsthal, Kulmbach, München und Wuppertal.

Die UNESCO-Clubs in Deutschland haben sich in dem "Forum der UNESCO-Clubs in Deutschland" zusammengeschlossen. Sie treffen sich in halbjährlichem Abstand, um gemeinsame Vorhaben zu koordinieren und aktuelle Themen der UNESCO zu diskutieren. Sie sind gemeinschaftlich Mitglied des Weltverbandes WFUCA und beteiligen sich an internationalen Seminaren und Konferenzen, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Weltverband stattfinden. Seit 1996 ist das Forum der UNESCO-Clubs in Deutschland gewähltes Mitglied der Deutschen UNESCO-Kommission. Es wird durch die Koordinatorin Rosemarie Landgrebe vertreten.

Vikings fans often lament what they perceive as predictability and a conservative approach from the team's offensive play calling — particularly when it comes to running the ball in long yardage situations.
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is a believer in the running game and voices his frustration when he doesn't feel like the offense is running the ball enough — as he did after Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Packers, a setback that ended the team's playoff chances and further called into question Zimmer's job status.
As Andrew Krammer and I talked about on Tuesday's Daily Delivery podcast, there is perception and there is reality. Let's dig into a few helpful facts to see where this all sorts out.
The wonderful Sharp Football site supplies us with some important data:
*In all situations this season, the Vikings have thrown the ball 59% of the time and run 41%. League average is a 58/42 split, so they are right around that mark.
*The Vikings have thrown on first down 48% of the time this year. League average is 49%. Again, right around average.
*On 2nd-and-8 or longer, the Vikings have run the ball 35% of the time. League average is 31%, so the Vikings are a little above that but not way above it.
*In the first half against Green Bay, the Vikings ran the ball just eight times with throwing 16 times while falling behind 20-3. Their 67% pass rate was the seventh-highest in the league during the first half of Week 17.
That would seem to support Zimmer's narrative. When you're starting a backup quarterback (Sean Mannion) and one of your best players is running back Dalvin Cook, why not make him the focal point of the offense?
The problem is that nothing about the offense was working. The Vikings had what Sharp Football deems a "successful" play on just 25% of runs AND 25% of passes in the first half of that game.
I don't know if better balance would have helped. I do think a better quarterback would have helped.
*At the end of the day, it seems to come down to specific situations and outcome-based judgments — and not overall trends — that frustrate fans and Zimmer.
Perhaps it's more a matter of opinion than a matter of fact when it comes to who is right or wrong about run frequency.

Tully on Sotheby's
February 4, 2009 by Marion Maneker
The Master, Judd Tully, summed up last night's London sale of Impressionist and Modern art at Sotheby's with this quote:
"You either had works that were very sought after, or they didn't go," said Melanie Clore, Sotheby's co-chairman of Impressionist and modern art worldwide. "For the right works, there's really a lot of demand."
Many of the results showed the uneven market moment. Some works showed strong gains but many chalked up losses, according to Tully:
[ . . . ] the small but power-packed cover lot, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's hallucinatory Strassenszene (Street Scene) from 1913, which went to a lone telephone bidder for £5,417,250 (est. £5–7 million). The painting last sold at Sotheby's London in June 1997 for £1,981,500. It's a work that comes with a built-in bonus, in that the verso of the canvas contains an eerie portrait from 1914 of Botho Graff, an archeology professor and art historian who admired Kirchner's work.
[ . . . ] A striking Francis Picabia, Lunis (1929–30), in oil and mixed media from his "Transparences" series, went to a telephone bidder for £529,250 (est. £450–650,000). Although well within the estimate range, the work last sold at Sotheby's London in February 2006 for £1,072,000, or about double tonight's result.
[ . . . ] the large and late Joan Miró abstraction Femmes et Oiseaux dans la Nuit, which drew interest from at least half a dozen bidders before selling to international art trader David Nahmad for a robust £2,001,250 (est. £750,000–1 million). The underbidders included two New York dealers, Jose Mugrabi and David Benrimon.
Rene Magritte's small and stunning Souvenir de Voyage from 1958, depicting the Leaning Tower of Pisa being propped up by a feather, also did well, selling to Abigail Asher of the New York/L.A. art advisory group Guggenheim Asher for £746,850 (£400–600,000).
"With the weak pound and the nervousness of certain buyers, there are opportunities in the market for longtime and savvy collectors who haven't enjoyed the frenzy of the past few years to step back in and get great things," said Asher moments after the sale.

Q: Compresión de código con funciones en Python Estaba realizando unos ejercicios de práctica, se nos pidió que realizaramos el código para obtener una piramide de números en la salida (desde 0 hasta un entero guardado en la variable altura) y luego se nos pidió que al código ya existente se le incluyeran funciones que sustituyeran algunas partes del código, pero la verdad no entiendo muy bien a lo que se refiere eso; ¿alguien sabe como podría incluirlas y que el código funcionara como está ahora? Este es el código:
altura = int(input())
contador = 0
separador = "_"
rev_contador = altura
cuant = 1
strcontadorer = contador
strcontador = str(strcontadorer)
while contador < altura:
    print(separador * (rev_contador-1) + (((strcontador + "") *cuant).strip("")) +(separador * (rev_contador-1)))
    contador = contador + 1
    rev_contador = rev_contador - 1
    cuant = cuant + 1

    if strcontadorer >= 9:
        strcontadorer = 0
        strcontadorer = strcontadorer + 1
        strcontador = str(strcontadorer)
    else:
        strcontadorer = strcontadorer + 1
        strcontador = str(strcontadorer)

A: Lo que te están pidiendo, es que el código que has creado, hagas funciones que lo queden más limpio y sea más entendible, esto es algo muy común en programación. Te voy a poner un ejemplo intentando modificar lo mínimo posible tu código:
#Defino una función
def check_contador(strcontadorer):
    if strcontadorer >= 9:
        strcontadorer = 0
        strcontadorer = strcontadorer + 1
        strcontador = str(strcontadorer)
    else:
        strcontadorer = strcontadorer + 1
        strcontador = str(strcontadorer)

    return strcontadorer, strcontador

altura = int(input())
contador = 0
separador = "_"
rev_contador = altura
cuant = 1
strcontadorer = contador
strcontador = str(strcontadorer)

while contador < altura:
    print(separador * (rev_contador-1) + (((strcontador + "") *cuant).strip("")) +(separador * (rev_contador-1)))
    contador = contador + 1
    rev_contador = rev_contador - 1
    cuant = cuant + 1

    #Aplico la función en el código
    strcontadorer, strcontador = check_contador(strcontadorer)

Se pueden hacer de varias formas el ejercicio, y se pueden crear varias funciones y mejorar el código, yo te he puesto un ejemplo para que entiendas lo que te piden.

Kew Bridge je obloukový silniční most přes řeku Temži spojující londýnské městské části Richmond a Hounslow.

První most na místě současného mostu byl navržen Johnem Barnardem a postaven Robertem Tunstall, majitelem přívozu, který byl provozován na místě současného mostu. Výstavba mostu probíhala v letech 1758 – 1759 a pro veřejnost byl otevřen dne 1. července 1759 Jiřím, princem z Walesu. Most měl devět oblouků, dva kamenné u břehů a sedm dřevěných přes řeku. Jeho nejdelší rozpětí mělo 15 m. Nahrazen byl druhým mostem, který byl postaven Robertem Tunstall, synem původního stavitele. Architektem druhého mostu byl James Paine, který se podílel i na návrhu nedalekého Richmond Bridge. Výstavba byla zahájena 4. června 1783 a stála 16 500 liber. Druhý most byl otevřen 22. září 1789 také Jiřím, který se mezitím stal králem. Podobně jako na prvním mostě, i na druhém bylo vybíráno mýtné; v roce 1873 bylo zrušeno.

Druhý most byl zničen v roce 1899 a na jeho místě stál mezi říjnem a prosincem 1899 dočasný dřevěný most. Současný třetí most byl otevřen 20. května 1903 králem Eduardem VII. A jeho manželkou Alexandrou Dánskou. Architekty mostu byly John Wolfe Barry a Cuthbert A. Brereton. Celková délka mostu je 360 m, nejdéle ze tří hlavních rozpětí má délku 41 m. Šířka mostu je 23 m, vozovka má šířku 17 m a chodníky 3 m. Výška mostu nad hladinou Temže při nízkém přílivu je 10,5 m.

V jeho blízkosti se nachází stejnojmenná železniční stanice a muzeum Kew Bridge Steam Museum.

SANTA CRUZ -- The city of Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District announced Friday an extension of the public comment period on the draft environmental impact report for their joint seawater desalination project.
The report was released May 13 and a comment period was set to expire July 15. But officials decided to extend it after numerous requests from the public.
"It's clear that the public has become engaged in discussing our future water supply," Mayor Hilary Bryant said in a statement. "Extending the comment period allows more people to join in the discussions. It's my hope that this additional time will enable more involvement."
The comment period will now end 5 p.m. Aug. 12. Members of the public who wish to submit comments by send them to Heidi Luckenbach, desalination program coordinator, at hluckenbach@cityofsantacruz.com, or City of Santa Cruz, Water Department, 212 Locust St., Suite C, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. Comments may be submitted after that date but officials are not obligated to respond.
To view the report online, go to www.scwd2desal.org or it is available in hard copy at Santa Cruz Public Library.
The city's Water Commission will host a meeting to receive public comment from 6:30-9 p.m. Monday at First Congregational Church, 900 High St., Santa Cruz.

When: Sunday, April 26, 4 to 7:30 p.m.
Cost: $15 in advance, $20 at the door, $25 for preferred reserved seating for the show. Admission is 18+.
An evening of shopping, food, comedy and more is in store at Pics for Packs, a fundraiser put on by XO Photo to benefit Together We Rise happening Sunday, April 26, at the Radisson Hotel in Nashua.
From 4 to 6 p.m. guests will gather in the ballroom for an expo-style setup of local vendors, music, food and drinks. Then, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., comedian hypnotist Bruce James will perform a show in the Balsam room.
Together We Rise is a nonprofit that seeks to improve the lives of children in foster care.
Around 20 local vendors will have tables set up to chat with guests, give out samples and sell their products, including Wicked Mojo IT of Derry, Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt of Nashua and Tilton, LB Fitness Personal Training of Nashua and Lady Di's Sweet Treats of Salem. The first 100 attendees will receive "swag bags" filled with coupons and samples from the attending vendors and other local businesses.
A DJ will provide the tunes, and a massage therapist will be there to give free chair massages. Capture the memories at an XO Photo photo booth, and snack on some finger food provided by the Radisson. A cash bar will be available as well.
There will be numerous raffle prizes, including gift certificates from local businesses, Canobie Lake Park tickets, an overnight stay and breakfast for two at the Radisson and a Boston Red Sox photo signed by player Rusney Castillo.
For the second part of the evening, comedian hypnotist Bruce James will perform a Las Vegas-style show with his assistant and former Miss New England, Kelly Jean.
Proceeds from the event will provide "sweet cases" for local children in foster care, travel bags filled with a blanket, personal care items, a stuffed animal and a coloring book and crayons. Morgan said the goal is for the event to provide 100 sweet cases.
"Most kids in foster care really only have a trash bag, the clothes on their back and maybe a few belongings," Morgan said.
After the event, Together We Rise will send Morgan and her team the cases, and they will assemble them and color designs on them with fabric markers to make them fun and personal. Then, they will pass the cases on to local agencies who will distribute them to the children.

Ex-Black Panther Freed; 19 Still in Prison for Decades
By Crime and Justice News July 29, 2018
Jalil Muntaqim, a former member of the Black Panther party and its underground wing the Black Liberation Army, he has spent almost 47 years in prison for his part in the 1971 murders of two New York city police officers, The Guardian reports. Muntaqim is one of 19 black radicals, including two women, who are still imprisoned 40 or more years after they were arrested for violent acts related to the black liberation struggle. Next year the longest-serving inmate, Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, will have been locked up for half a century. The oldest, Sundiata Acoli, is 81. Since 2000, another 10 black radicals have succumbed to ill health and died in prison. The incarcerated militants were all part of the 1970s black revolutionary movement. They fought for black power, they were convicted of killing for it – though many profess their innocence – and today they are still imprisoned for it.
As they grow older, and the length of their incarceration ticks up, the ethical battle over what to do with these men and women grows ever more intense. Just last week, Robert Seth Hayes, 69, like Muntaqim a former member of the Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army was released last Tuesday from the same New York maximum security prison where Muntaqim is held. Hayes had been imprisoned for 45 years for the murder of a New York city transit officer, Sidney Thompson during an encounter at a Bronx station in 1973. He was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life. He became eligible for parole in 1998, but every two years he was told the same thing: despite a clean prison record, he remained a threat to society in the eyes of the parole board. It was only on his 11th attempt, 20 years later and with his health rapidly failing, that he convinced them he was worthy of rehabilitation.

Why These Children of Incarcerated Parents Are Rallying to Be Heard
Author: Daniele Selby
Miranda Barnes for Global Citizen
For many low-income families, cash bail is the entry point into the criminal justice system. Many people remain in jail, kept apart from their families, because they cannot afford their freedom. When a parent is incarcerated, it can impact their family both emotionally and financially, often trapping future generations in the poverty cycle. We Got Us Now is working to keep families connected and advocate for an end to mass incarceration. You can take action here to help end the criminalization of poverty.
For six years, Melinda Carmichael watched her children grow up in New York City over video calls. She heard their voices change over the phone and observed from hundreds of miles away, in Albion Correctional Facility in upstate New York, as her young daughter became an activist on her behalf.
Only twice did she get to see them, touch them, and hug them in person, which made Melinda one of the lucky ones — many of her fellow inmates would only see their children in person once while incarcerated, if at all.
"It was wonderful to get to see them those times, but it's not the same as seeing them every day … And it's not fair to these kids who want to see their parents," she told Global Citizen.
Now, Melinda and her 12-year-old daughter Christina — reunited after Melinda was released from prison in 2017 — are calling on lawmakers to help keep families connected when a loved one is incarcerated.
The mother and daughter both spoke at a rally held by nonprofit We Got Us Now on May 11 in New York City's Columbus Circle. Dozens of children of incarcerated parents, formerly incarcerated people, and activists attended the event in support of three bills currently under consideration in New York that would make it easier for the families of incarcerated people to visit and stay in touch with their loved ones in jails and prisons.
These bills propose placing incarcerated parents in facilities in close proximity to their children, codifying in-person visits for incarcerated people, and reinstating free bi-monthly visitor buses to detention facilities, which ran for many decades but were suspended in 2011.
"We shouldn't have to sit behind bars and have a police officer say you can't go near them. We shouldn't have to fight, travel, go over trains … just to see someone you should already be able to see usually," Christina told the crowd.
"We need to see our family members in person and it's important to have contact with our family members — kiss them, hug them, say 'I love you' to them."
The rally was intermittently punctuated with calls to "see us, support us" and declarations that "we got us now," drawing the attention of curious pedestrians who stayed to listen to speakers like Christina and others affected by parental incarceration.
Melinda Carmichael and her daughter Christina sit outside New York City's Central Park. Melinda served a six-year sentence in a facility more than 300 miles from her children, during which she was only able to see them in person twice.

One in every 28 children in the United States has an incarcerated parent, and approximately 10 million children have had one at some point in their lives. According to one often-cited study from the National Institute of Justice, children of incarcerated parents are six times more likely to become incarcerated themselves.
"But it's not that parental incarceration causes children to end up incarcerated. It really is about economics," Ebony Underwood, founder of We Got Us Now, pointed out. When a person's income and support is removed from a household, it can destabilize the entire family.
"People think because your parent is incarcerated, you're going to end up there — but no, poverty is at the basis of why you might end up incarcerated."
Nearly 2.3 million people are incarcerated in the United States, and most of them are parents. About 62% of women in state prisons have children under the age of 18, like Melinda does, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. And among incarcerated parents, more than half were the primary financial providers for their children prior to being incarcerated.
Melinda was arrested and charged with promoting prostitution in 2011, a position she said she found herself in as a result of an abusive relationship and a need to provide for her two children.
"Mommy, I'm going to get the money and bail you out."
She spent over a year on Rikers Island — New York City's main jail complex, infamous for its poor treatment of detainees and inmates — before being convicted of a crime, because she and her family could not afford her bail of $1,000.
She recalled her daughter, just five years old at the time, wanted to help her.
"She said, 'Mommy, I'm going to get the money and bail you out.'"
Melinda told her to keep her money and promised to come home.
"I told her, 'I don't know when, but I'll be home.'"
Her own mom, also a single working mother struggling to get by, wanted to help pay her bail, but Melinda declined, asking instead that she take care of her children, then 5 and 3.
So Melinda remained in Rikers, trying to fight her case — an extremely difficult thing to do from jail.
"I don't think anybody deserves a bail they can't afford for their crimes because they haven't been sentenced yet. They're just going to court. They should at least be given the the time to be allowed to get the evidence they need to prove that they are innocent," Melinda said.

She believes that if she had been able to make bail, she would have been better able to help with her case and provide evidence that she was the victim in the situation — and the case might have been dismissed altogether.
Instead, she served a six-year sentence more than 300 miles away from her young children. And while she did so, Christina began telling her mother's story at events and in advocacy videos. In fact, that's how she met Ebony, who she now considers a mentor. But it wasn't just Melinda's story Christina was telling — it was also her story of being kept from her mother.
This is just one of the many ways in which the cash bail system criminalizes people living in poverty and imposes harsher sentences and life-long consequences on them and their families.
Left: A woman holds a sign in support of bringing incarcerated parents closer to their children at the We Got Us Now rally on May 11. Right: A free bus leaving from Columbus Circle used to take visitors to state prisons, but was terminated in 2011.
The system was originally created to help ensure people charged with crimes would appear for their court dates. But cities that have done away with cash bail have found that the overwhelming majority of people show up to court anyway. Activists and experts say, in practice, the system simply penalizes those who can least afford it.
"Bail is an obvious entry point into the criminal justice system for people living in poverty because it's literally exchanging money for freedom," said Wendy Sawyer, senior policy analyst at the Prison Policy Initiative, adding that there are many ways in which the system not only fails to support impoverished families, but, in fact, makes situations worse for them.
"There's just nothing about poverty that's going to help you stay out of prison or jail. You know everything is kind of pushing you in that direction. And it's unfortunate that society take a carceral response to dealing with a lot of poverty — policing poor neighborhoods and locking people up," Sawyer said.
What people living in poverty and in contact with the justice system really need, she said, is support.
Most incarcerated people in the US grew up in poverty, according to the Brookings Institution. And though the median bail amount for felonies is $10,000, nearly 60% of incarcerated men and more than 70% of incarcerated women earned less than $22,500 prior to incarceration.
But cash bail isn't the only element of the criminal justice system that penalizes those whose families live in poverty.
"There's an increasing trend of shifting the costs of the system itself on to the people who are impacted by it," Sawyer said. "Things like medical co-pays and charging families exorbitant phone rates to talk to their incarcerated loved ones or taking away the ability to see someone in person through visits to jail and then making them pay for a video chat instead.
"Those are the kinds of things we pay a lot of attention to because it seems like they're quickly chipping away at the ways that people are able to maintain their family ties and keep it together while they're incarcerated and nobody pays attention to that," she explained.
These are some of the key issues Ebony and Melinda hope to address.
Ebony Underwood, founder of We Got Us Now, embraces Melinda Carmichael, a formerly incarcerated mother, on stage at a rally to support families impacted by the criminal justice system after Melinda addressed the crowd on May 11.
Melinda almost never saw her children in person while incarcerated. During her six years in prison, she saw them twice with the help of the Osborne Association, a nonprofit that supports individuals and families impacted by the criminal justice system. Otherwise, she primarily spoke to them over the phone and was able to video chat with them about once a month and on special occasions like birthdays.
"It was really hard to see my children face-to-face. They don't provide families that live downstate with a free bus or anything," Melinda said. "It's kind of like, 'why should we give parents that are incarcerated an easy time by letting their kids come up and see them.'"
Yet even those little bits of communication helped her stay motivated to get home and stay home.
When inmates leave Albion Correctional Facility, Melinda said guards openly place bets on whether or not they will return. But any guard who bet against her has placed a losing bet, as far as Melinda's concerned. She plans on staying free and with her children.
But the power of those few visits are another reason she and her daughter joined We Got Us Now to advocate for in-person visits to be protected by law.
Through the organization, they're advocating for the free bus from New York City to state prisons to be reinstated. The state terminated the bus service in 2011, citing high costs, but advocates say the cost to families and communities, both emotional and financial, should outweigh the cost to the state.
Such barriers to staying in touch with incarcerated loved ones hit low-income families the hardest. Bus tickets from New York City to prisons upstate can cost upward of $80. And even phone calls to incarcerated family members can be expensive.
Until recently, incarcerated individuals in New York City were charged 50 cents for the first minute of a phone call, and 5 cents for each additional minute. But just two weeks ago, on May 1, New York became the first city in the US to make phone calls from jail free.
Still, across the country, calls from jails — where most than 65% of people detained have not yet been convicted of a crime — are significantly more expensive than calls from state prisons. This can make it harder for them to participate in their cases and remain connected with their families. In New York State, a phone call from jail costs 12 times more than a phone call from a state prison.
But cost aside, experts say phone calls and video calls are poor substitutes for in-person visits.
Two children of incarcerated parents attend the We Got Us Now rally on May 11. The rally called for support for three bills that would help keep families affected by parental incarceration connected.
"From the family perspective there's really nothing like in person face-to-face visit. That connection helps people feel like they have support at home and somewhere to go back to," Sawyer said.
"They're still kept in the loop about their kids and their families — and those things actually have measurable outcomes. People do better when they have more family contact," she explained.
Melinda hopes to one day create an organization to support incarcerated parents of children in the five boroughs of New York City. She wants to make it easier for children to see parents who are incarcerated in far away state facilities parents, in a way that is child-friendly and accommodates accompanying caregivers.

Approximately 2.7 million children have a parent who is in jail or prison — but often they feel alone.
Though her father was incarcerated 30 years ago, Ebony's journey as an activist began in 2014, when she first started campaigning for her father William to be granted clemency.
William was arrested in 1988 on drug-related charges. Though it was his first offense, he was sentenced to life without parole, based on controversial policies that set a mandatory minimum sentence for certain crimes, which even judges cannot lower.
William's case was similar to that of many of the 1,715 people to whom President Barack Obama granted clemency during his time in office. And Ebony had hoped to get her father released. In fact, for several years, it became her sole purpose.
After three years of unsuccessfully campaigning to free her father, who remains in a federal prison in New Jersey to this day, she nearly gave up.
"He's been incarcerated for 30 years and it feels so heavy — like we're literally attached to him ball and chain," Ebony said.
People are often so focused on the incarcerated individual that they forget about the harm done to that person's family as a result of that incarceration, she said. And the impacts of incarceration on families are multi-generational.
Ebony said her father has never stopped being a dad. She still talks to him almost daily and describes him as a present and consistent father, despite being behind prison walls. But growing up in the suburbs of New York City, she and her three siblings rarely spoke about their family situation and felt alone in their experiences. And it was only more recently, that Ebony discovered she was anything but.
"What put a battery in my back was when I found out that the White House had an initiative for children of incarcerated parents," Ebony recalled. "And I said wait a minute … there is a name for what I've experienced … for what I had been living all of my childhood?"
William is now a grandfather, too. And, initially, Ebony's work was motivated by her wish for her son to have the same deep connection with William that she'd had.
"But then I realized that the story was way greater than my own," she said. "Mass incarceration is a tsunami that has ripped across the country and destroyed communities and ripped apart families."
Ebony Underwood, founder of nonprofit We Got Us Now, is pictured in New York City's Columbus Circle, just blocks from where her father once worked as a music promoter. Her father has been incarcerated for 30 years. His experience inspired her activism.
Ebony never wants children of incarcerated parents to feel alone again. That's why We Got Us Now, founded in 2018, is focused on building a community of people impacted by parental incarceration and on debunking the misconceptions that hold them back.
"I believe most children love their parents regardless … and that's a lot of why they don't share their situation because of that embarrassment and the stigma of language like 'offender,' 'criminal,' 'convict,'" she said.
"Children are the innocent bystanders of this experience."
Such stigma has reinforced certain misconceptions about children of incarcerated parents — for example, that they are predestined to be incarcerated — even among those children themselves.
"And that's why I say: We got us now," she explained. "Ultimately we have to tell people, and show people who we are, instead of people telling us who we are. We are survivors, not victims of this experience.
"Children are the innocent bystanders of this experience so we should not be victimized or harmed in the process," she added.
There is an important role for people who have not been impacted parental incarceration to play though. Ebony and We Got Us Now are urging people to sign petitions in support of the three bills being considered in New York and to voice their support for these measures.
We Got Us Now will also be focusing on empowering youth leaders to be champions for this "invisible population." The organization has already identified young people in 20 cities across the country who will receive leadership training to become advocates for children of incarcerated parents.
"We're going to ensure that our voices are at the forefront of practices and policies that continue to impact us," Ebony said.
"We want to keep families connected and ultimately we would love to be able to end mass incarceration because we do not need another generation experiencing that."

Neptune, winners of Tick Tock Tuesdays 20, pulled off a very solid run through three quality teams in Spicy Kraken Rolls, Deep Blues, and a new team called Redemption to claim their second straight tourney victory!
Redemption defeated Tick Tock Tuesdays 20's runner-up and BnS Season 0 Rainmaker winner Legacy in semis.
In possible foreshadowing for a couple days later, Deep Blues defeated Legacy 3-2 in the bronze match.
After going under the name "Team of Shaks" and losing to Legacy in grand finals of the Rainmaker edition, Saikai was able to take down Deep Blues in a close seven-game grand finals in the second edition.
One thing of note that can be found through a little digging, Team Upgrade finished tied for fifth but had two sets that, if they had gone the other way, could have changed the final result completely. They almost beat Saikai in groups, losing the set 2-3, and took a pair of games off defending champion Legacy in top cut, so be sure to watch out for them!
Each set began with no restrictions on anything, but after each game, the losing team could ban, or remove from play, any weapon the opposing team used for the remainder of the set.
This time, gametypes (map/mode combinations) were predetermined by the tournament organizers.
This particular tournament saw FINALLY, one of the better teams in the Splatoon 1 days, take the title, with a roster of Hachi, Ice, Kyo, and Ant. They lost only one game (to TakeOver!) until taking Fully Torqued down in six games in grands.
In the Underground bracket, a who's who of newer teams and pickups, Xiller came out victorious, losing only one game in three sets (to Instant Ramen in grand finals).

That moment there was light.
On what my Lord has done.
And banish all my woes.
In death I am alive.
When all is out of sight.
Where yet he sees no good.
Mine eyes in joyful tears.
The sea of blood and love.
Before me in the van.
Behind me in the rear.
By faith I can do all.

Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) Active
By Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center July 9, 2018
More than 1.3 million cloud-free black-and-white and color infrared aerial photographs over the United States were obtained from an altitude of 20,000 feet.
Back to Products Overview
Sources/Usage: Public Domain.
The NAPP collection includes black-and-white aerial photographs at ascale of 1:20,000 as depicted by this March 4, 1995 image of Boston,Massachusetts.(Public domain)
The National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) was coordinated by the USGS as an interagency project to acquire cloud-free aerial photographs at an altitude of 20,000 feet above mean terrain elevation. The photographs were taken with a 6-inch focal length lens at a scale of 1:40,000. Coverage over the conterminous United States includes both black-and-white (BW) and color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs. Film type and extent of coverage were determined by available funds and operational requirements.
The NAPP program, which was operational from 1987 to 2007, consists of more than 1.3 million images. Photographs were acquired on 9-inch film and were centered over quarters of USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles.
The NAPP collection includes black-and-white and color infrared images.
Black-and-white (BW) panchromatic film is sensitive to the full visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of light and captures images in tones of gray ranging from black to white.
Color infrared (CIR), or false color, film is sensitive to green and red in the visible portion of spectrum of light and extends into the near-infrared region of the spectrum. Vegetation is distinctly red to magenta in CIR images because vegetation is highly reflective in the near-infrared portion of the spectrum. CIR photography uses high-speed film that is subject to degradation prior to processing, which can create an overall blue cast to the image.
The NAPP collection includes colorinfrared aerial photographs at a scaleof 1:20,000 as depicted by this(April 4, 1991) image of Boston,Massachusetts.(Public domain)
The scale of the image is the ratio of the distance on the image compared to the equivalent distance on the ground. An image with a scale of 1:40,000 means that one inch on the photo is equivalent to 40,000 inches on the ground. A 9 x 9-inch image with a scale of 1:40,000 (1 inch equals about 0.6 miles) covers an area of approximately 5.5 x 5.5 miles on the ground.
Recording Technique
Aerial photographs are acquired by aircraft equipped with mapping cameras. The recording technique for the NAPP film collection is vertical photography, which is obtained with the camera pointed directly at the ground.
Flight lines for the NAPP program were flown in a north-to-south direction through the east and west halves of 7.5-minute quadrangles, also known as 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Images are cartographic quality with a 60% overlap of images to allow for stereographic viewing with specialized equipment.
Commercial flight contractors were required to meet a stringent list of acceptance criteria in order to fulfill contract requirements. All photographs were manually assessed to ensure that they met the photographic, cartographic, coverage accuracy, and quality standards of the NAPP program.
Even though the images in the NAPP collection met contract requirements, users should note that the images have not been geocorrected. The images may have feature displacement and scale variation caused by differences in elevation, lens distortion, and camera tilt. Since the medium and high resolution digital products are reproductions of aerial photographs, any geometric inaccuracies in the original photograph are carried over into the digital products.
EarthExplorer offers the entire NAPP collection, which includes accepted photography as well as any other frames on the roll of film. To view additional frames on a roll of film in EarthExplorer, set up a search for your area of interest then select the "View Entire Roll" () icon by one of the images on the results page. Images have been captured as they appear on the roll of film and may need to be rotated to adjust the orientation.
EarthExplorer offers medium and high resolution digital products for the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) collection. The files are stored in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF).
Medium Resolution Digital NAPP Products were created with a digital single-lens reflex camera at a resolution of 63 microns, or 400 dots per inch (dpi). These products can be downloaded through EarthExplorer at no cost.
High Resolution Digital NAPP Products were created with digital scanning back systems at a resolution of 25 microns, or 1,000 dpi. These products can be downloaded through EarthExplorer at no cost.
The USGS Film Archive is being systematically scanned at a resolution of 25 microns beginning with film sources that are affected by vinegar syndrome degradation. High resolution scans of NAPP photography will be offered to the public at no charge after the work has been completed for older photography. USGS EROS is currently offering on-demand scanning services for NAPP photography to meet customer requirements for high resolution scanned images.
On-demand scanning is available for NAPP film sources that are held in the USGS EROS film archive. EarthExplorer has an 'Order Scene' icon () on the results page for images that are available for photogrammetric quality scanning. Black and White (BW) images are scanned at 7 microns (3,600 dpi). Color images are scanned at 14-micron due to file size. On-demand film scans for NAPP Records are not archived in the USGS EROS database and are not available for download through EarthExplorer.

Illinois Will End Cash Bail — and Limit Use of High-Tech Incarceration
Reformers typically propose predictive algorithms and electronic monitoring as alternatives to money bail. Illinois is different.
Isaac Scher
January 17 2021, 12:00 p.m.
Some organizers in Illinois recall getting "laughed out of the room" for supporting the abolition of money bail five years ago. But on January 13, Robert Peters, a longtime advocate for ending cash bail and now a state senator from Chicago, saw his legislative proposal to end money bail pass the General Assembly, along with a comprehensive package of criminal justice reforms written by the state's Black Caucus. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker has strongly indicated that he will sign the bill, which will make Illinois the first state in the country to end a detention system that is demonstrably racist and classist.
Labor groups, abolitionists, and local nonprofits formed a coalition to end money bail shortly after powerful state players derided activists who argued against money bail in court and led organizing drives throughout the state. Their four-year campaign, which brought pressure against the state and gifted them a close alliance with the Black Caucus, made sweeping reforms thinkable. It was the movement for Black lives and the 2020 uprising that made them inevitable.
Original reporting. Fearless journalism. Delivered to you.
I'm in
The reforms, which would go into effect in January 2023, will avoid the most dangerous pitfalls of quietly emerging "alternatives" to money bail: algorithms that predict peoples' "risk" and detain those given higher scores, and surveillance devices that track people who maintain legal freedom before trial. These powerful tools are already used in a vast patchwork of jurisdictions across the country. Both are opaque and profitable and have gained prominence among bail reformers in places like California, where a failed effort to end money bail last autumn would have mandated prediction and increased surveillance.
In California and elsewhere, reformers have maintained that algorithmic prediction and "electronic monitoring" constitute safe, effective, and just substitutions for money bail. Advocates and experts say the tools are just as racist and classist as the money-bail system. Now, advocates see Illinois' victory as reason for cautious optimism about the future of pretrial justice in the state and even nationwide. The bill reduces the reach of the criminal legal system, advocates said. They look beyond the money-bail ban, to the legislation's unprecedented restrictions on an emerging and largely hidden system of prediction and surveillance.

In large swaths of the country, it is impossible to know how many people live with an electronic monitor. James Kilgore, now a leading expert on the surveillance technology, tried to find answers when he was released from an Illinois prison in 2009. He filed information requests with 35 states, but details were sparse. "When I asked for states' analyses of their electronic monitoring, they said they didn't have anything like that," said Kilgore, a media fellow at the political and economic rights group MediaJustice.
MediaJustice researchers do know that monitoring is primarily leveled against poor, Black, and brown people. Surveillance supervisors frequently prevent monitored people from working jobs that have no fixed location, their 2019 report found, which rules out gig work and day labor opportunities. And other rules and restrictions are so vast that some monitored people see guilty pleas as their only escape. "If electronic monitoring had given me more movement, I probably would have fought the case," one mother said. "My kids were not getting the healing they needed."
In a distinctly remarkable step, any time "served" on an electronic monitor will be subtracted from a court sentence.
Once the Illinois reform package takes effect, an oversight board will publish quarterly data on counties' use of monitoring — a basic move toward democratizing information. Electronic monitoring will become a last resort for the courts too. State prosecutors will bear the burden of proving that an accused person should be monitored, both before the person has been surveilled and after 60 days of surveillance. And in a distinctly remarkable step, any time "served" on an electronic monitor will be subtracted from a court sentence. Advocates like Kilgore say that electronic monitoring "is not an alternative to incarceration, but an alternative form of incarceration." The Illinois legislation implicitly concurs.
All of this is unprecedented in the United States. "Illinois' reform is the first of its kind in the country to regulate electronic monitoring," said Kate Weisburd, an associate law professor at George Washington University. Otherwise, "it's a bit like the Wild West. It's expanding, and it's being used with little restraint or limitation."
The very companies contracted to produce the technology often write the surveillance rules and restrictions that govern monitored peoples' lives, Weisburd added. "And it's not just that they're writing the rules. They also run the programs. They judge whether a violation occurs."
Private companies outside the bail industry have been angling to profit from incarceration for years. It is paying off, and the ongoing public health crisis has opened up new markets. In his research, Kilgore has found that the Covid-19 pandemic has further normalized the use of big data and surveillance technologies within the criminal legal system. It's gaining purchase outside the system, too, as general "contact tracing" technology — and then being fed back into carceral sites at greater rates. In Cook County, where Black residents comprise 70 percent of monitored people but 25 percent of the general populace, there were some tepid efforts to get people out of jail in 2020. As of this week, the county jail population is back to its pre-pandemic total. Electronic monitoring is up more than 50 percent.
"We have expanded the footprint of the carceral state," Kilgore said, "by supplementing cages with technology."

As with electronic monitoring, algorithmic prediction is gaining popularity in Illinois and around the country. Known as "risk assessment tools," the predictive instruments crunch hundreds of thousands of data points on prior defendants to predict whether an accused person in front of the court might be rearrested or skip hearings. An algorithm produces a "risk" score and on that basis recommends that an accused person be released before trial — with or without an electronic monitor — or detained. The algorithms are profiling tools for the 21st century: They process arrest histories, convictions, and missed court dates. Some use data on guilty pleas; others account for whether accused people have owned cellphones.
About 1 in 6 Illinois counties use these tools already. Cook County, home to one of the largest jail populations in the country, uses the Public Safety Assessment, an algorithm owned by former Enron trader John Arnold's "philanthropy" company Arnold Ventures. Advancing Pretrial Policy and Research, an arm of Arnold Ventures, told The Intercept that algorithmic prediction "can play a positive role in a jurisdiction's efforts to advance fair and equitable pretrial justice" but is not a necessary component of a just pretrial system.
Many players in the Illinois coalition against money bail wanted to see algorithms fully banned. That wasn't possible. "Systems stakeholders remain extremely committed to risk assessment tools," said Sharlyn Grace, executive director of the Chicago Community Bond Fund.
And even after money bail is eliminated, individual judges will continue to have vast power in the process. The legislation says that accused people can be detained pretrial if they might willfully flee from prosecution or if they are "a real and present threat to the safety of a specific, identifiable person." Judges will decide whether those conditions are met, said Colin Doyle, staff attorney at Harvard Law's Criminal Justice Policy Program. "A lot will depend on how faithfully judges follow the spirit of these reforms."
But the bill does chip away at judges' authority by limiting the function of predictive algorithms, whose release-or-detain recommendations some judges use as established fact, not mere suggestion.
In all pretrial hearings, the court will start from the presumption that accused people should be released.
When the "Arnold Tool," as some call it, was brought to Illinois in 2015, "it was a black box," Grace said. "So were other tools." The reform will have data about the algorithms published on a regular basis.
And it will not mandate the use of algorithms, a victory for would-be bail reformers everywhere. Months ago, reformers might have looked to California's money-bail ban as a model bill. It would have mandated that the tools and kept data private.
In further contrast to California's reform, the Illinois legislation requires algorithmic calculations to be sent to defense lawyers, who will be able to challenge the predictions. And in all pretrial hearings, the court will start from the presumption that accused people should be released (California's bill presumed detention).
Every single person accused of a crime in Illinois will potentially be eligible for release, their legal freedom intact. "If this becomes law, Illinois would have some of the strictest restrictions on who can be incarcerated pretrial," said Doyle.
Previously "virtually anyone accused of anything was eligible for detention without bond," Grace said. "It should be very hard for the government to take away our freedom. In reality, it was very easy."

If a party appeals a court order to the Court of Appeals without an attorney's assistance, that individual's appeal will be held to the same standards as an appeal filed by an attorney.
The mother was a pro se party: a party not represented by an attorney. The mother appealed the Circuit Court's decision to deviate from the child support guidelines based on her argument that the child support award does not meet the child's needs. The Court of Appeals refused to consider the Mother's assignments of error due to her failure to comply with Virginia Rule 5A:20(e), which requires the inclusion of the legal standard of review and arguments for each assignment of error, which must include the principles of law and legal authority. Pro se parties must comply with the rules of the court, just as attorneys are required to do.


"Quel ramo del Lago di Como che volge a mezzogiorno…." (Lit. That part of the Lake Como facing south..) …. this is where our journey begins. Lake Como is perfect for a driving day on fantastic roads surrounded by a rich in history landscape. Special guest of this outing around the lake is the fantastic Porsche Cayman GT4 (Take a look at our review here), which, on these streets, will prove if a car born for the track is suitable or not even on the everyday roads.
Surely this car impresses fot the space dedicated to luggage, thinking about a Porsche fitted with rollbar, front splitter and big rear spoiler, is not so obvious to imagine it carrying 3 trolley and two backpacks. Our route begins on the road 36 of Lake Como and Spluga that we abandon at Abbadia Lariana, after Lecco, taking the SP72 that will accompany us throughout the east side of Lake Como. From Abbadia Lariana the wonderful view of the lake will be the perfect backdrop for the villages we will see during our trip.
The first of these is Mandello del Lario, famous for Moto Guzzi, with the historic factory and museum. Continuing on, the road becomes more and more scenic, with tunnels into the rough rock where it is impossible not to pull down the windows, downshifting, and let roar the great boxer 3.8-liter delivering 385HP. A real monster!
We allow ourselves a break in Varenna, being very careful to avoid the covered parking with very steep ramps, enemy of our Porsche. Varenna is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Lake Como and an important hub of inland navigation with many tourist facilities. Walking around this village will take you to discover an another era atmosphere, with a breath-taking view.
After Varenna the road becomes tortuous and enjoyable to drive. With the Porsche Cayman GT4 you can feel every unevenness of the road and the perfect chassis and the brutal engine give you an amazing power and control feeling. I'm driving a car totally extreme. The line and the bright yellow color certainly do not pass unnoticed in the small villages of the Lecco's side of Lake Como. Nor did his sound, with a set up made for racing, characterized by a carbon shell seats and the manual transmission with a clutch really "tough" to press.
We pass the towns of Bellano and Piona, where you can stop for a picnic on the shore of the lake and where we stop for some shots taking advantage of the sun and to breathe this lovely fresh air. Soon we should turn in the direction of Como in the northernmost tip of the lake.
Our descent to Como takes us to go from Gravedona, surely one of the most important town of upper Lake Como. Here we find a real medieval treasure, the church of Santa Maria del Tiglio that faces directly on the Lake Como. The church is from the Romanesque Como, dated in the second half of the twelfth century and lies on the former baptistery of the fifth century dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
It's a very special place for sure, perfect for taking some pictures. Continuing along the SS340 Como, we feel more and more comfortable driving the Porsche Cayman GT4.
The closer we get to Cernobbio and Como and the easier is to see cars similar to our German one or even better like a beautiful Porsche 911 GT3 RS in gray color, I love that car.
Even the houses are more elegant, such as the famous Villa Camilla and the famous Villa Carlotta … Wait, but that was perhaps George Clooney? We take advantage of the last hours of the afternoon to give us a walk in the center of Como before ending our tour.
We start from the dock, with the monument dedicated to Alessandro Volta called Electric Life and then head towards to city centre. The Como Cathedral, built more than four hundred years ago, is a perfect example of the skill of the Como's craftsmen. This one is still one of the best examples of Late Gothic architecture in northern Italy.
Continuing the tour of the city, we recommend a visit to the medieval city gate. Built in 1192, Porta Torre is the most visible evidence of the medieval walls.
After a cup of tea in a restaurant in the city centre, it is time to complete our tour of the lake. Surely this beautiful place is worth a real holiday in order to discover all the beauty of Como Lake. Other towns such as Bellagio and the city of Lecco, famous for being one of the locations of the Manzoni's "Promessi sposi" woth a visit for sure. We end this route, with an average consumption of 9 km/l. Not bad at all.
We must pay special attention to the more pronounced bumps and potholes, as well as to the ramps of the parking lots (remembering that this car is not made for this situations) but overall this Porsche Cayman GT4 is a car that satisfies, engages and entertains in every aspect, and after a day of driving there is no better phrase to say thank "tired but happy"!


This second post continues the discussion of the role of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Carbon Offset Credits in California policies started in the last post. In the next and last post of the series, I will discuss their role in city climate action plans.
How are renewable energy credits used in California?
Renewable energy credits (RECs) represent the non-power characteristics of renewable electricity generation. Those who possess ownership of RECs are thus able to make claims that the electricity they consumed or generated came from eligible renewable sources. Although these rights to environmental claims are the primary function of RECs, there are a number of different energy policies for which RECs play a significant role. Already in 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recognized the significance of RECs in, among others, the California Solar Initiative, the Self-Generation Incentive Program, tariffs and standard contracts for RPS-eligible generation, and voluntary greenhouse gas reduction programs.
The California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is the primary legislation for compliance RECs in California. The RPS currently requires investor-owned utilities (IOUs), electric service providers (ESPs), and community choice aggregators (CCAs) to procure at least 50 percent of their total electricity generation from eligible renewable resources by 2030. The CPUC implements and administers RPS compliance mandates for retail electricity sellers in California while the California Energy Commission (CEC) certifies generation facilities as eligible (Figure 1) and adopts RPS compliance regulations for publicly owned utilities (POUs).
The primary reason for the establishment of RECs was to provide flexibility for RPS compliance. There are three portfolio content categories (PCCs, or buckets) for the RPS, as described in SB 2-1X (2011, s. 399.16) where the first two categories consist of bundled electricity from eligible generators in or out of state (PCC1), and "firmed and shaped" electricity (PCC2), in which the bundled procurement is matched with an incremental non-renewable portion, respectively. In both these categories, "bundled" refers to the purchase of both the energy and the RECS produced. In the third category (PCC3), the CPUC set the procurement requirements for unbundled RECs from RPS-eligible facilities. This category varies in the percentage of RECs allowed of maximum 25% RECs for the first compliance period (2011-2013) to a maximum of 10% in the last compliance period (2017-2020). Phasing out the use of unbundled RECs would in effect be part of promoting more renewable generation in California itself. As such, the use of unbundled RECs for RPS compliance would be expected to decrease over time.
Tracking and monitoring RECs is an important part of the process. The CEC, which is responsible for many REC monitoring and compliance duties, established the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS) to track the generation of RECs from eligible renewable electricity sources and verify eligible RPS procurement., The CEC's RPS eligibility guidebook requires all regulated entities (both voluntary and compliance) under California's RPS to register as account holders within WREGIS. It also functions to ensure that RECs generated by eligible renewable resources are only counted once for RPS compliance. At the end of a compliance year, the CEC verifies how many RECs each retail seller has procured for RPS compliance, and delivers the information in an annual verification report to the CPUC. The CPUC is ultimately responsible for determining whether a retail seller is in compliance with the RPS.
While it can be difficult for prospective REC buyers to identify RECs that are RPS-eligible, the CEC has a number of resources to help buyers pursue appropriate transactions. Individual RECs typically include information on a number of attributes, including the REC's eligibility for certification or RPS compliance. In addition, the CEC must certify a renewable facility as RPS-eligible (Figure 1) for its REC procurement to be counted towards a utility's RPS obligation.
RECs that originate from distributed generation facilities create additional administrative and legislative complications. These complexities led the CEC to make several decisions regarding ownership of RECs that result from DG systems that participate in ratepayer funded rebate programs. One decision, D.05-05-011, granted renewable DG facility owners the rights to RECs associated with electricity generation from such facilities. these may be eligible for PCC3 if registered with WREGIS. Another ruling, D.07-01-018, granted DG facility owners similar rights over the RECs they procure, but reserves rights specifically to facilities funded under the California Solar Initiative (CSI). This ruling also extended ownership of RECs to facility owners participating in the statewide Self-Generation Incentive Program.
As DG RECs reside with the owner of the DG, this electricity has "null" renewable attributes and does not directly count towards the utilities' RPS amounts. However, DG RECs reduce the utility's load, and its RPS obligation amount, thus indirectly contributing to the RPS compliance requirements.
As described in a previous post, in California' s Cap and Trade Program and its Voluntary Renewable Electricity program " voluntary purchases of renewable electricity only reduce GHG emissions if tied to retirement of allowances budgeted for the program". When retired, purchasers of renewable electricity can claim a reduction in GHG emissions based on a conversion factor, calculated by CARB, of 0.428 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent per Megawatt Hour.
There are significant differences between RECs that are procured or purchased for compliance versus those that are generated and traded on a voluntary basis. Compliance RECs and markets may have stricter regulations than voluntary RECs and markets, such as providing additional specifications for electricity generation facilities to become eligible. Conversely, voluntary RECs and markets are driven primarily by consumer preference and allow consumers to exceed policy requirements. Consumers may procure or purchase RECs voluntarily because they seek such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, other pollution reductions, or brand development strategies. The voluntary REC market has been growing, and is mostly certified and operated by Green-e. Because of the generally short-term nature of voluntary RECs, it is debated whether voluntary RECs help or hinder the promotion of renewable energy growth in the long term, a topic for a future blog.
As an example of REC use by a utility, SDG&E has purchased between 4% and 8% unbundled RECs in the years 2010 to 2014. This corresponds to between about 3% and 7% of sales. As a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA), Sonoma Clean Power reports that 3% of its power mix comes from unbundled RECs in order to be able to offer higher renewable energy content to customers as well as meet its RPS goals. RECs can be useful to CCAs as they build their initial customer base. Finally, voluntary RECs are purchased by many businesses, such as Whole Foods and Intel, which therefore can claim to provide 100% of their electricity as renewable.
What are the roles of carbon offset credits in California?
Carbon offset credits represent reductions in greenhouse gases from certified or approved projects. The variety of projects that can generate carbon offset credits is large, the number of roles that carbon offsets can possess for individuals, companies, and legally covered entities is also vast.
These regulations ensure that covered entities take an active role in relevant sustainability projects to be able to obtain offset credits.
The ARB has created Compliance Offset Protocols that projects must comply with to generate ARB offset credits. There are six offset protocols dealing with forests, livestock, ozone depleting substances, mine methane capture, rice cultivation projects and urban forest projects. Capped entities may also receive "early action offset credits" from the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), the American Carbon Registry (ACR), and Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), offset project registries that help to administer the Compliance Offset Program and where entities may submit their early action offset credits to the ARB for consideration for conversion to ARB offset credits.
In addition, the ARB requires third-party verification of all GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements before any ARB offset credits can be issued. These third-party verification bodies must be approved by the ARB in order to offer verification services under the Compliance Offset Program.
The American Carbon Registry forecasts a significant 35% shortfall of carbon offset credits for 2020 (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Forecasts of Compliance Offset Protocol Projects and Demand. The top line represents the estimated total demand for compliance carbon offsets, American Carbon Registry, 2012.
California enforces the quality of the compliance carbon offsets. For example, in October 2014, CARB invalidated 231,154 offsets from a 4.3 million it seized for investigation. As a result, it seems unlikely that this quality of carbon offsets would be available to help cities meet GHG emissions targets in climate action plans.
Carbon offset credits are relevant for any individual or entity trying to reduce its carbon footprint. Since carbon offsets represent avoided or reduced greenhouse gas emissions, owners or producers of offsets can make environmental claims about their actions. We have seen such schemes offered by the airline industry as explained in the last post. Purchasers of carbon offsets can be selective about the type of offset project they wish to support and choose to purchase credits from a variety of offset registries. There is no regulation of the voluntary carbon offsets market although Green-e attempted to develop a certification program for voluntary carbon offsets in 2008 and California flirted with the idea in the same year. There are voluntary standards such as The Gold Standard, which provide some level of quality assurance.
A study by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that there was growth in the voluntary carbon offset market from 6.2 million tons in 2004 to 10.2 million tons in 2007 with more than 600 entities developing, marketing and selling to a variety of buyers, including governments. In 2015, a market study stated that 77 million metric tons CO2e/year were sold on average per year since 2008 (Figure 3). However, this is also reported to fall short of what was expected in the voluntary market and may have been due to the increased demand for compliance offsets.
Figure 3. Growth of the Voluntary Carbon Offset Market since 2008. These are worldwide numbers, from the Ecosystems Marketplace Study of 2015.
The next post will touch on how cities and counties are including RECs and carbon offsets in their climate action plans, the significance, if any, of the quality of RECs and carbon offsets for cities and counties, and the potential costs of RECs and carbon offsets upon climate action plan implementation.

How much carbon is expended simply to create these clean resource collectors? What is the break even point in carbon expended to create a collector vs carbon saved by clean collectors? Does it balance out or is a carbon credit realized before the collector is worn out and requires replacement/repairs?
Not sure what you mean by clean resource collectors? If you mean solar panels on your rooftop or large scale solar or wind farms for electricity generation, then carbon is saved through the life of the equipment because no fossil fuel is used. Studies indicate that this is the case even if you take into account the production energy (assuming fossil fuel) of the equipment.

De Garden-classificatie is een indeling voor intracapsulaire heupfracturen van de femurhals ook wel het collum femoris genaamd. Een fractuur in dit gebied kan zorgen voor verstoring van de bloedtoevoer naar de femurkop.

De Britse orthopedisch chirurg Robert Symon Garden beschreef een classificatiesysteem voor dit type fractuur, genaamd de Garden classificatie. Deze classificatie bestaat uit vier categorieën.

Classificatie

Klinische relevantie
Bij Garden type 3 en 4 is er een grotere kans dat de bloedtoevoer naar de heupkop verstoord is. Er is dan een grote kans op het afsterven van de femurkop door onvoldoende bloedtoevoer, dit wordt ook wel avasculaire kopnecrose genoemd. Avasculaire kopnecrose is een ernstige, veel voorkomende complicatie van een collumfractuur. De bloedvaten naar de heupkop raken gemakkelijk verstoord door de fractuur of door de zwelling binnen in het gewricht. Dit kan leiden tot afsterven van het bot en het kraakbeen.
Naast de bloedvaten die via het gewrichtskapsel naar het bot lopen, is er bij jonge mensen een bloedvaatje aanwezig in het ligament dat van de heupkop naar de heupkom loopt. Bij ouderen functioneert dit vaatje meestal niet meer. Mensen met een kopnecrose gaan na een aanvankelijke verbetering na de operatie weer achteruit, krijgen meer pijn en gaan slechter lopen.

Omdat er een grote kans is op kopnecrose wordt deze fractuur vaak behandeld met een heupimplantaat. De heupkop wordt verwijderd en vervangen door een kophalsprothese of, wanneer de kom ook vervangen wordt, een totale heupprothese.
Bij jonge patiënten of bij heupfracturen met een betere prognose worden de botten op hun juiste plek gezet en met drie schroeven vastgezet. Hierbij kan kopnecrose niet altijd voorkomen worden en kan het zijn dat er later alsnog een heupimplantaat geïmplanteerd moet worden.

Everyone needs choices. With me, I need more than one supermarket. Sure, we do most of our shopping at Meijer. It's always been that way with J and I. I pick a hyper-market where we can get everything we need and do the bulk of our shopping there, but there's always been a second grocery store that I go to when I just have to pick up one or two things. For several years, that supermarket has been Kroger. There always seems to be both a Meijer or Walmart and a Kroger near my place. Not in Kalamazoo.
Since I have to find a new #2, I figured I'd check out a grocery store that I had never heard of before moving to Southwest Michigan. I've seen at least three locations somewhat near my house, but a trip to the Aunt Millie's Bakery Outlet takes me right by the Harding's Friendly Market on Cork Street near Lover's Lane in the Milwood Neighborhood.
The store is in a small strip mall and it looks like it's been there for quite a while. It's not the newest store in town and it looks a little bit smaller than the other Harding's I have driven by.
The layout of the store is a little wierd when you first walk in. Right away to the right they start with coolers and the first thing you see is cheese. The store feels a little cramped. The aisles are probably just barely big enough to let two carts pass each other. The outer walls are lined with the coolers and the organization of products really has no rhyme or reason.
There's a large drink section to the left past the cash registers when you enter. On the right side of the store is the deli which serves up fresh chicken and sides. There are only a handful of check stands that are somewhat hidden. When I was in the back of the store trying to get to the front, it took me a lot of weaving to get there. There are some shelves that run perpendicular near the front to block off the entrance. It's a smart move to help prevent easy theft, but it makes getting to the cashier's a little tough.
I was in the market for dinner, but I didn't really know what I wanted. The reason I always went to Kroger in the past was because they could have some pretty good meat specials. They would take stuff that was reaching it's sell by date either that day or in the very near future and mark it way down as a "manager's special." Whenever I didn't have an idea for dinner, I would make a trip to Kroger and see what I could find. It worked more often than you would think. I just needed a little inspiration. The hypermarkets don't seem to have very good prices on meat and almost never have sales like this. I was hoping Harding's had something.
I couldn't find a deeply discounted section, but they had a pretty good price on hamburger meat. J doesn't really like straight hamburgers, but I thought I could make nachos for dinner. In that case, I needed some chili powder. Since I haven't found a bulk store yet, I had to buy prepackaged. Harding's had a Spartan brand that was pretty cheap, so that's what I bought.
Stupid me, it's hard to make nachos without tortilla chips. I forgot those so I didn't end up making nachos. I made a couple hamburgers for myself and J had a salad. Still, I have enough meat left over, I can try again tonight. That $1.87 package of hamburger is going to get me two meals.
Before leaving, I grabbed a 12 pk of Coke Zero. It was sort of on sale and I'm not too found of the Diet Pepsi we have in the fridge. I'll drink it just because it's a cola, but for some reason, I actually prefer Coke Zero. It's wierd because I'm not a Coke fan. I prefer Pepsi.
Harding's will most likely become my number two. There's really no other store closer and they have decent prices on things. They're at least comparable to Kroger which is where I prefered to shop. There's not as many people which makes it a lot easier to get in and out of the store. That's a huge plus.


The farming of animals for meat and milk confronts a stark challenge. whereas global call for from a becoming and extra prosperous human inhabitants is expanding quickly, there are powerful counter-arguments that we should always consume much less meat and pay extra cognizance to environmental defense, animal welfare and human overall healthiness and health and wellbeing.
The target of this ebook is to spot and clarify the factors and members to present difficulties in animal husbandry, specially these concerning 'factory farming', and increase arguments that can give a contribution to its winning re-orientation. Husbandry is taken into account in its broadest feel, particularly the effective and sustainable use of the land for the great of all (plants, people and different animals).
The first a part of the publication outlines ideas and arguments essential to interact with present difficulties: depletion of normal assets and destruction of setting, animal welfare, nutrients and healthiness, reasonable alternate and sharing assets. those arguments are illustrated through examples and adequate facts to justify the argument with no obscuring the message. the second one half provides a chain of positive proposals for swap and improvement in animal husbandry, either within the built international and subsistence agriculture. those contain extra built-in crop and farm animals farming platforms, the ethics of animal welfare and environmental administration, and the evolution of a brand new social agreement wherein the rights of the folks to a good percentage of excellent, secure nutrients and a eco-friendly and delightful land are matched via a shared accountability to maintain these items.
Agricultural construction is extremely depending on climate, weather and water availability and is adversely suffering from the elements and climate-related mess ups. Droughts and usual failures akin to floods may end up in crop disasters, meals lack of confidence, famine, lack of estate and existence, mass migration and destructive nationwide financial development.
The tale of dairying in Wisconsin is the tale of ways our very panorama and lifestyle have been created. by way of making cows the guts of our farm existence and studying easy methods to deal with them, our ancestors introduced a revolution that modified even more than the way in which farmers earned their living — it replaced us. In growing Dairyland, journalist, oral historian, and previous dairyman Ed Janus opens the pages of the interesting tale of Wisconsin dairy farming.
Gail Damerow indicates you the way to incubate, hatch, and brood child chickens, ducklings, goslings, turkey poults, and guinea keets. With recommendation on every little thing from deciding on a breed and selecting the simplest incubator to feeding and taking good care of child chicks in a brooder, this complete advisor additionally covers matters like embryo improvement, panting chicks, and numerous universal delivery defects.
