From the start (we're talking 2005), the husband-and-wife team behind Northeast Kingdom have farmed and foraged much of the restaurant's produce themselves.
Long before René Redzepi became famous, Paris Smeraldo and Meg Lipke were traipsing through the Hudson Valley to stock the larder of their Brooklyn restaurant.
Just as they were ahead of the curve on the foraging trend, they were pioneers in real estate, choosing Bushwick for its vibrant artist community and "bombed-out" aesthetic. "We wanted to create an oasis in this neighborhood full of factories." And indeed they have: Lipke designed a cozy, low-lit dining room filled with reclaimed wood and quirky antiques.
Foraging, Smeraldo explains, makes for the ultimate seasonal cuisine. "Spinach says, 'It's warm out,' but it could be April or July. Ramps mean it's April." And living and farming in Hudson allows them to be in touch with the microseasons—and to grow more produce than any city rooftop garden (and minus that BQE-smog-tinged urban terroir.) They and their chef, Le Bernadin alum Kevin Adey, have also cultivated "meaningful" relationships with many organic farmers.

About the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Message from our President, March 19, 2020:
I've built my life around travel. I met many of you on my journeys around the globe. We all have a shared mission to enhance our lives through travel abroad. The last few weeks have turned that world upside down and we're all learning to navigate in a new world that, for now, requires us to stay in place rather than roam. As always, we've aimed to adapt for our customers in a situation where the landscape has been changing daily. Most of our partner schools have had to close temporarily, just as we have had to move to a virtual office environment for the safety of our staff, which we know has made communication more difficult. For those who have been frustrated by this entire situation, we understand and apologize.
Given the unprecedented nature of these times we have taken some new, significant steps—outlined below—to ease the burden on our would-be travelers. Times are tough, we know, and we want to be there to help you now and in happier days filled with travel that lie ahead.
Peter Jones
ACIS Founder and President
Please note: The policies below pertain specifically to trips run through our ACIS Educational Tours division to destinations outside of the USA and Canada. Policies differ for our Encore Tours, Fliers Club and other sports divisions due to the unique work involved with booking custom performances and sporting events.
I'm booked to travel with you this spring (March-April). What are my options?
We are currently working with group leaders who were originally scheduled to travel this spring to present an option for an alternate trip either later this year or in 2021. Our first hope for everyone involved is that we can find a new opportunity for your group to travel. Once group leaders have selected a new option, travelers will then have the choice to either roll over to this new trip (with all money paid to date automatically applied to the new trip) or cancel their participation.
What are your refund policies if I choose to cancel?
We have significantly enhanced our cancellation policy for participants on our Comprehensive or Basic Protection Plans. (Our Ultimate Protection Plan, which was available to all participants during the registration process, offers even greater cancellation flexibility.) Our refund schedule for trips outside of USA/Canada is shown in the chart below. These cancellation policies exist to cover the non-refundable costs that we pay in advance on behalf of our clients, and to support our staff who plan these trips for months in advance and who are working right now to provide new options for travelers who have been affected over the past several weeks.
Click here to view a larger image of the chart.
For reference, our standard cancellation policies are viewable on our Travel Protection page.
I have an overseas trip with you that departs this summer (after May 1). What should I do?
Our advice for you right now would be to sit tight. We are freezing summer travelers' currently applicable cancellation policies as of March 1 until April 15. This means that there is no disadvantage to hold off on making travel decisions before then. We will be discussing new travel options with any group leader who would like to do so, but we're starting with the groups that are due to depart in the next few weeks. Please bear with us and use the extra time to gather more information, knowing that you're waiting risk-free.
Is there any way to avoid the cancellation penalty?
Yes! Participants may elect the following option and receive a total refund in combination of cash and ACIS/AIFS Voucher.
How can I use these travel vouchers?
Our travel vouchers give you a chance to springboard toward future travel with ACIS or our parent company, AIFS. You can use the voucher on any ACIS or Encore Performance Tours program outside of the USA and Canada. Vouchers can also be used on college-level programs, namely AIFS' College Study Abroad and Global Experience's international internship programs. Study abroad programs are offered in 22 different countries, with short-term, semester and academic year options. Internships are available in 13 different locations and cover career fields ranging from business to non-profit to technical fields. Our vouchers are fully transferable, meaning you can sell them to a friend who is interested in any of these programs too. Vouchers just need to be redeemed for travel starting before December 31, 2022.
Refunds are typically processed within 45 days of when we receive your official notice of cancellation. However, Massachusetts' governor has issued a stay-at-home order for all non-essential businesses that will run from March 24 to April 7. This will limit our ability to print out refund checks (we're based in Boston), but we will do everything in our power to process refunds as quickly as possible while ensuring the safety of our community.
What if my school decides for us that we can't travel overseas in 2020?
If a school suspends all student travel programs, then participants will be cancelled under the enhanced cancellation policy outlined above.
I'm traveling on one of your USA/Canada programs. Have you made adjustments for these programs too?
We are working to increase our flexibility on these programs as well. As we work out a plan with your group leader, s/he will communicate those options to you.
What if something happens to me or our group while we're overseas?
ACIS maintains a worldwide safety network so we always have local support no matter where you are traveling. Our 24-hour Duty Officer systems operates in the U.S. and overseas non-stop to deal with any emergency quickly and professionally. Additionally, all participants are enrolled in an international medical insurance plan coordinated by AXA, our round-the-clock, 365-day travel assistance provider.
If you were to be quarantined while on tour, ACIS will work with local and international authorities to get you home as quickly as possible. If housing is not provided, ACIS will secure your accommodations and cover all costs. We will also buy you a new return ticket, if necessary. If you are a minor, ACIS will fly over a parent and cover the cost for their hotel and flights for the full duration of the quarantine as well.

← Cross-Examination of Experts: Where to Start.
1. Favorable Evidence: One tactic that should not be ignored is using the opposing party's expert to concede to facts favorable to your side of the case. These could include the fact that your client was injured by a motor vehicle collision, that there is no evidence that your client is a malingerer, that your own expert is well-qualified or well regarded in the community, etc. You can use the expert to corroborate the propositions which make up your expert's opinion or reasons. This is why it is important to make sure you have the expert's report and/or have taken his deposition. In this way you will know in advance whether the expert will agree with the proposition you want to prove. It is best to prove these favorable points before attacking the expert as he may be less willing to concede a point once you have attacked him as being biased.
2. Narrow the Expert's Apparent Expertise: This is where having the expert's curriculum vita (resume) in advance is important. If the accident reconstruction expert is self-taught or never went to college you may want to prove that he does not have a degree in mechanical engineering, in fact he has no degree at all, or the expert is not a certified professional engineer or a medical doctor and could not sit for a board examination even if he wanted. You can prove the expert has never taken engineering calculus or college physics, etc. If the expert is a psychologist, you can contrast his inability to prescribe medications with that of an actual medical doctor such as a psychiatrist who may do so.
3. Varying the Hypothetical: Inquire into the basis for or the underlying assumptions supporting an expert's opinions and then ask the expert if the evidence showed "X" if this would change his opinion. Before asking such questions it is usually important to anchor the underlying principles and rules the expert is utilizing in analyzing the evidence and rendering his opinion. For example, I remember a neuropsychologist I cross-examined about his opinion that his patient had suffered permanent brain injury and brain atrophy as the result of a traumatic blow to the head. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by the expert indicated that to make a differential diagnosis, one had to rule out other causes for these symptoms such as long-term abuse of alcohol. The expert agreed with these principles and the need for an accurate medical history to make an accurate opinion as to the cause or etiology of the patient's symptoms. I asked him: "Would such information be important to know? Yes. Would the medical history affect the accuracy of his diagnosis and opinion? Yes. Later in his deposition, I looped back and confronted him with medical records establishing the patient's long term abuse of alcoholism and his treatment for alcoholism. The expert agreed this evidence was important and ultimately withdrew his opinion after being presented with evidence of chronic alcoholism. Had he refused to concede this point, I would have argued to the jury that the expert did want to be confused by the facts as his mind was made up. The jury would have seen this expert as narrow-minded and dishonest.
4. Have the Witness Define Technical Terms: "Pull back the curtain" as Toto did in the Wizard of Oz and make the expert put his statements in simple plain English if a clearer understanding of the term is helpful to your side of the case. Experts love to speak in technical jargon that dresses up their testimony for very simple events. For example, if the doctor testifies that the witness had a "contusion" on his arm, then point out that this is just a fancy term for a "bruise". This removes the mystery behind the expert's testimony and allows the jury to make their own assessment instead of blindly relying on the expert.
5. Typos, Spelling and Math Errors: If the expert's report has such mistakes, first show important it is for the expert to pay attention to detail and carefully review his opinions before submitting a report, then bring out these errors on cross. You can also have the opposing expert spell long complicated terms for the benefit of the court reporter. Sometimes experts will be unable to accurately spell such terms. If he stumbles you can continue to do this as the deposition precedes. If you suspect that the expert is using a computer program to do his calculations and is "math illiterate" provide him with a calculator and have him vary the input data and recalculate the speed of a vehicle or its stopping distance. Oftentimes experts are unable to do the calculations at all. You can later argue "sloppy in, sloppy out" or "garbage in, garbage out" or that the expert really is not very "expert".
6. Use the Expert to Criticize His Own Client: Sometimes an opposing party will do something in a fashion that is not safe or wise. It could even be on a topic the expert was not hired to assess. Use the expert, to show that the procedures used by his client were unsafe, improper or ill-advised. This is especially useful if you know the expert will have to agree or look biased and/or stupid to contest such a proposition. Some experts will try to dodge the question by saying "I was not hired to make that sort of analysis". Don't let them side step your question and demand that answer "yes, no or I have no opinion". If they say that they have "no opinion", you can show that is something the other party (the expert's client) could have asked the expert to analyze, but did not.
7. Lack of Firsthand Knowledge: Demonstrate the expert lacks firsthand knowledge. It may be a defense medical examination where the doctor saw your client only once or perhaps he is basing his opinion solely on his review of the medical records. In contrast, your client's doctor has seen him over an extended period of time on numerous occasions. Ask the expert "It is always preferable to see a patient many times over an extended period in evaluating a person's condition?" If you think it is unlikely he will agree with this, you can ask: "Was the plaintiff seen on this date by his own doctor and examined? Yes. Your examination of the patient was limited to single occasion. My client doctor saw him over 25 times? Yes. Over twenty-four months? Yes. You have to accept my client's doctors observations as true because you were not there? You are limited to what is contained in the records? Yes.
8. Show the Expert's Opinion is Based Upon Unreliable Evidence or Rests Upon the Truthfulness of a Questionable Source: If you can show that a witness relied upon by the expert is mistaken, inaccurate unreliable, or lying, then have the expert concede that this type of information is important to the accuracy of his opinion and that he is accepting this information as true, accurate and reliable. You can ask: "Unlike you, the jury will be able to evaluate the witness's demeanor and credibility when they testify? Yes. Again you can use the "garbage in, garbage out" approach in closing to undermine the expert's opinions if you can establish the supporting data is not reliable.
9. Lack of Thoroughness: Demonstrate that there are more tests the expert could have performed to get more accurate data to use in his analysis. This could be things such as the expert could have used a similar vehicle to figure stopping distances, that the expert failed to actually test the road's surface to find the "actual" coefficient of friction instead of just taking some number out of a text-book or guessing.
10. Financial Bias: If the expert at issue has testified for the opposing party, attorney or insurance company before, point out how much money this relationship has generated for the expert or that the expert is a "whore" or a hired gun for the "defense" or "plaintiff". You can use tax or business records to show this financial bias.
11. Inconsistent Positions: Find similar cases where the expert has testified on the opposite side of the issue. Use this inconsistency to show that the expert is not a scientist, but is rather an advocate for whichever side hires him. Use the expert's own articles or writings to undermine contrary positions he has taken at trial.
(18) Learned Treatises. To the extent called to the attention of an expert witness upon cross-examination or relied upon by the expert witness in direct examination, statements contained in published treatises, periodicals, or pamphlets that contradict the expert's testimony on a subject of history, medicine, or other science or art, established as a reliable authority by the testimony or admission of the witness or by other expert testimony or by judicial notice. If admitted, the statements may be read into evidence but may not be received as exhibits.
I hope these thoughts are of use to you the next time you take on an adverse expert witness. I would appreciate hearing of any strategies you may have. Good luck!

Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) to Host Latin American Beef Sustainability Summit
Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef Meat & Poultry June 19, 2019
Buenos Aires, Argentina – The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) along with Arcos Dorados (world's largest independent McDonald's franchisee), GTPS, and with support from the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, will host a Latin American Sustainable Beef Summit July 10-12, 2019 in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Summit will be hosted at the McDonald's Hamburger University and will allow sustainable livestock stakeholders from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia, and Mexico, and key representatives from the global sustainable livestock stakeholder sector to set the vision for what hundreds of companies can realistically do to make a positive contribution to advance beef sustainability.
During the event, national beef sustainability roundtables will present, along with an impressive line-up of thought leaders from around the globe to address important topics including biodiversity, responsible antibiotic use, Carbon sequestration, and more. Participants will also spend time building a recommendation the beef sectors can bring forth for the upcoming COP 25Climate Change conference.
Alvaro Pereira of Globescan, Julian Chara of CIPAV, Professor Mateus Parahos da Costa of Sao Paulo State University, and João Shimada of Earth Innovation will speak at the Summit, along with representatives from organizations like FAO, the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, UNDP, among others.
The Summit agenda also includes a field trip on Friday, July 12 to experience Brazilian beef sustainability. Participants will have the chance to travel to Farm Mantiqueira of Grupo Roncador (http://www.gruporoncador.com.br/o-grupo ) in Pindamonhangaba municipality, located in São Paulo state.
"Latin America countries produce a large segment of the global beef supply. Countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico are exporting thousands of tons of beef to fast-growing nations with large consumer markets, such as China, and demand is fast-growing." said Ruaraidh Petre, Executive Director of the GRSB.
"The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is looking forward to leading discussions at the Summit that will cultivate projects, tools, and opportunities that can be leveraged to amplify impact in beef sustainability across Latin America and that make an impact around the world." continued Petre.
Leonardo Lima, Sustainability Director of Arcos Dorados said "McDonald's believes education is key. The opportunity to host the Latin American Sustainable Beef Summit and to open our facility in support of beef sustainability is a MUST. We must learn together, work together and move together if we are to provide value to our communities."
Josefina Eisele, Latin American Director for the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, added "The Summit agenda represents the most important opportunities impacting beef sustainability in Latin American today. In addition to core topics like deforestation and animal welfare, efforts will be spent discussing the real impacts of jurisdictional approaches, traceability, capacity building, and investments for sustainable beef. I'm thrilled our members have committed to collaborate at the Summit and look forward to the strategies that will materializes at the event."
Registration details can be found at https://grsbeef.org/page-1861946 and is open to those who want to guide the Latin American beef sector into 2020 and beyond.
The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative developed to advance continuous improvement in sustainability of the global beef value chain through leadership, science and multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration. The GRSB envisions a world in which all aspects of the beef value chain are environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable.

With the uncertainty of our current economy, even the smallest reduction in expenses or increase in revenue can have a major impact on the profitability of your business. However, you don't have to do a large-scale business overhaul just to make this happen. It only requires a lot of common sense and practicality to improve your business' financial flow. In order to evaluate the success of your business, whether you need to eliminate or improve business practices is mid-year. One way to reduce expenses for your business is by contacting vendors and letting them know you are shopping because you might get greater discounts than traditional vendors.
You can also save by cutting on your production costs and optimizing your resources. You can also recycle or even sell used papers, cardboards, and metals rather than sending them to the recycling center or throwing them away. Get the most out of your production space like consolidating or centralizing to save on your electrical bill or get the lowest electricity rates, or have the unused space leased. Monitor your business operational efficiency in order to optimize and adjust the use of your available resources, and also setting performance parameters reflecting your efficiency goals and then offer incentives when those goals are attained. It is essential to look into your financial accounts as well as your insurance policies in order for you to make some modifications to save some money. Research on the rate of different insurance providers and ask your current insurance provider or current lender to match the rate. You may also consolidate bank accounts or insurance policies and evaluate your insurance policies to ensure that you are not duplicating any coverage or you are not over insured. It is important to do a detailed cost-benefit analysis and when considering expansion, do future forecasting.
Never venture on unnecessary debt and untimely expansion. Always remember that if you have excess debt, it may affect your company's rating, interest rates and your ability to borrow in the future. It is a good idea modernizing your marketing efforts because they are cheaper than traditional advertising methods, but do not eliminate those that are currently working. You can implement a referral program by building a customer e-mail list because a recommendation from a loyal customer will yield better results than traditional marketing. Networking is better than advertising, and increase the utilization of social media and reduce on traditional marketing methods. Keep your business' margins within reach by taking care of your business, more than investing, you have to save and reduce costs to keep your business running smoothly and always operational.

Given the growing scale and complexity of responses to humanitarian crises, it is important to develop a stronger evidence base for health interventions in such contexts. Humanitarian crises present unique challenges to rigorous and effective research, but there are substantial opportunities for scientific advance. Studies need to focus where the translation of evidence from noncrisis scenarios is not viable and on ethical ways of determining what happens in the absence of an intervention. Robust methodologies suited to crisis settings have to be developed and used to assess interventions with potential for delivery at scale. Strengthening research capacity in the low- to middle-income countries that are vulnerable to crises is also crucial.
Health interventions in humanitarian crises—situations where disasters or conflicts constitute a critical threat to the health, safety, security, or well-being of a population—are an important focus within the broader field of global health. Such crises affect increasingly large numbers of people worldwide (1). There have been notable advances in programming, specifically in immunization and treatment of acute malnutrition, over the past 20 years. However, despite the increasing professionalization and standardization of humanitarian work (2), there is a consensus that the evidence base for much current practice remains weak (3, 4).
It is not coincidental that the evidence base for health programming is frail in crisis conditions that cause high mortality and morbidity. Such health care contexts also present many challenges to scientifically rigorous research. Prime among these challenges is the acute vulnerability of populations (5), which requires prompt intervention rather than exploration of the comparative benefits and limitations of alternative approaches. In the face of acute needs and against a typical backdrop of limited funding, poor security, and shortages in human resources and logistics, simply providing immediate minimal standards of health services becomes an overriding concern. The space for research—particularly that involving experimental interventions or randomization or, more generally, offering different standards of care within the same population—dramatically shrinks (6, 7). Acutely vulnerable populations have a compromised capacity to give meaningful informed consent. Refusing study participation may be seen as rejecting vital medical assistance (8, 9).
The rapid response required in humanitarian crises contributes to an unpredictable programming environment. Although many health risks in the aftermath of disasters or conflict are predictable and minimum standards for response and best-practice interventions have already been established, health needs can evolve rapidly, and adaptable program strategies are required. Political sensitivities and security concerns may also have a substantial influence on the timing, coverage, and delivery of health interventions (10). Different sectorial interventions that affect health (including provision of shelter, water and sanitation, food security, livelihoods, nutrition, and vaccination) may be introduced with limited coordination and varying population coverage (11). This makes identification of comparison or control groups and attribution of outcomes to any single intervention methodologically challenging.
Difficulties in coordination are not only cross-sectoral but also reflect the more general complexity of multiple intervening actors and initiatives that characterize humanitarian responses. A population will typically receive services through a complex web of national and local governmental institutions, local civil society partners, United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and, in some emergencies, foreign medical teams (5). In coordination meetings, scores of agencies, each with discrete capacities and mandates, are often represented (10, 11). Many will have little expertise in research and a limited understanding of, or incentive to address, gaps in the evidence base in a coordinated fashion.
Research is also heavily constrained by fundamental data challenges (Fig. 1). There is frequently a lack of reliable preexisting data on disease burden and population demographics in humanitarian settings. Even where relevant data are present, the breakdown of health information systems and displacement of populations often mean that there is little access to these data for analysis or the data are no longer valid. When new data are collected, agencies may have little capacity or incentive to publicly share data on programming outcomes and even less to publish findings in peer-reviewed publications (5, 12). As a result, information and lessons learned on health interventions in crises often remain in reports that are not easily accessible to the broader humanitarian community.

Themes critical to scientific progress
Notwithstanding these challenges and given the growing scale and profile of humanitarian response, there is increasing interest in strengthening the evidence base for health interventions in such contexts. (3, 13). The authors serve as the funding committee of the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) program (14). We were recently afforded the opportunity of reviewing preliminary expressions of interest and full proposals for funding for this initiative. By bringing us together as researchers and program managers from academic and humanitarian organizations across four continents, this process led us to formulate the following five themes as critical to scientific progress in this field.
Use of evidence from nonhumanitarian settings
Evidence from noncrisis settings serves as a fundamental basis for programming interventions in emergency contexts. For example, in most circumstances, evidence on drug efficacy or the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets for malaria control can be appropriately generalized across populations. However, issues occurring rarely in noncrisis contexts, such as severe acute malnutrition, may require research to be conducted in a crisis setting. In addition, extrapolation from nonhumanitarian to humanitarian settings can overlook the many contextual factors that shape the particular vulnerability and fragility of humanitarian crisis conditions, requiring either different or modified interventions for such contexts. Acknowledging these alternative scenarios, researchers have an obligation to articulate the specific conditions where empirical work in the complex context of a humanitarian crisis is both adequately safe and evidentially necessary.
Identification of ethical bases of counterfactual analysis
To inform humanitarian programming, it is important not only to evaluate the outcomes of an intervention but also to understand what outcomes would be without the proposed intervention or with alternative interventions. Identifying ethical and rigorous means of such counterfactual analysis is crucial. Randomization to a control condition may be possible and appropriate. Where it is not, however, other means of attributing the effect of an intervention need to be adopted. Where operational constraints limit the initial coverage of an intervention, step-wedge designs and "waitlist controls" (15) may be considered. Changes in government policy, such as ages of vaccination, may allow a comparison of different interventions (16).
The development of robust methodologies appropriate to crisis settings
Although humanitarian contexts present many barriers to rigorous research, the same standards of methodological and statistical rigor used in other fields need to be adopted if a sound evidence base for response in crises is to be established. Meeting such standards in crisis settings requires methodological adaptation and evolution. Methodologies have to be matched not only with the specific practical and ethical constraints of a humanitarian setting but also with the current status of knowledge in their field of focus. A combination of studies is needed that address proof-of-concept research, acceptability and feasibility evaluations, and the creation of new tools, in addition to evidence of comparative effectiveness. For the latter, comparative clinical trials are required, but a range of methodological approaches (e.g., time series analyses and rigorous observational studies) will also be relevant (17). Particular methodological innovation is required to tackle cross-cutting issues of access, capacity, accountability, and coordination (3).
Capacity and potential for scaling up of evidence-based intervention
Any research on humanitarian interventions must inform future practice, but this often requires consideration of a complex set of factors. Strong local engagement is important to ensure the specific demands of a humanitarian context are addressed and requires cultural adaptation and contextual sensitivity. The challenge with interventions suited to a unique context and the particularities of a single implementing agency is that they lack external validity and/or offer little prospect for wider scale-up. Interagency initiatives are strong candidates to shape wider practice. Strong local engagement, wide global ownership, and a detailed dissemination plan is a challenging prescription, but crucial to the translation of valid research evidence into accepted practice.
Research capacity development in countries vulnerable to emergencies
It is vital for donors and implementing agencies to establish effective engagement with research institutions from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to ensure ownership of the developing research agenda within settings vulnerable to humanitarian crisis. Although many research proposals include partnerships with LMIC institutions, established institutions from high-income countries still typically hold leadership. This requires sensitivity and commitment to issues of both long-term research capacity development and means of ensuring that research initiatives respond to field-based challenges and concerns.
The circumstances of humanitarian crises present many barriers to the conduct of scientifically rigorous research, and yet these same circumstances shape the profound risks to the health of affected populations that make a solid evidence base for health programming in such settings crucial. There are clear opportunities for scientific advance. We consider that progress regarding the five themes elaborated above will be an important driver for assembling and using a more functional evidence base for future health programming and prioritization in humanitarian crises.

Disco Discord: NYPD and Nightlife Owners Clash Over Party-Crashing 'Raids'
(photo: Cassidy Dawn Graves)
Brooklyn DIY staples Palisades and Silent Barn are just two of many nightlife spaces that have been subject to a Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots, or MARCH—a Giuliani-era creation that summons members of the NYPD, FDNY, State Liquor Authority, Department of Buildings, and more to an establishment that's been deemed problematic, usually at peak weekend hours and usually without warning.

Pols Condemn Hit-and-Run Drivers After Weekend Deaths of Two Brooklynites
July 25, 2017 By J. Oliver Conroy
City councilman Stephen Levin speaks during press conference.
"There is a no more senseless or inhumane action than to leave a body in the street," declared city councilman Ydanis Rodriguez at a news conference earlier today at the Greenpoint intersection where 27-year-old Neftaly Ramirez was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver early Saturday morning.

Pols Get Amped For Electric Bus Service During L Shutdown
April 26, 2017 By Sam Patwell
Would electric buses soften the blow of the approaching L train shutdown? City Council members Rafael Espinal and Stephen Levin think so, and yesterday they called on the MTA to make it happen.
Aside from being an inconvenience for more than 200,000 daily commuters who ride the L train daily, the 15-month shutdown planned for 2019 will also cause an increase in carbon emissions as the subway is replaced with more car and bus traffic. Electric buses would solve the problem of noxious bus fumes while pushing the city closer to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly public transit system, the council members said during a press conference.

5 Ways New Yorkers Can Fight the 'Shocking Turn' Our Country Has Taken
December 16, 2016 By Nicole Disser
(Flyer via office of CM Stephen Levin)
You might have noticed that since the election, stories of hate crimes and swastika sightings have been everywhere. But the increase isn't simply due to a greater public interest in issues like police brutality and racially-motivated violence– hate crimes themselves have actually been on the rise. And quantifiably so: in the first 10 days after Trump's victory, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented 867 "bias-related incidents" across the country. (And yet, the government itself has no reliable way of tracking hate crime. "That's because reporting of hate crimes is voluntary, not mandatory," CNN reported yesterday.)
As New Yorkers, we live in one of the most progressive and diverse cities in the nation, so we might think that hate crimes only happen in rural America, and are therefore not our problem. Unfortunately, that's just patently false. Back in November, Governor Cuomo said that the "ugly political discourse" of the campaign trail has only gotten worse, having transformed into an all-out "social crisis" of hate crime and intolerance. "This fear and this anger, misdirected, seeks an enemy," he said. "It seeks a target and that target has become people who we see as different than ourselves." Recently, Cuomo launched a Statewide hotline for reporting "incidents of bias and discrimination." According to the NYPD, hate crimes have been on the rise in the last year right here in New York City– as of November 13, 328 had been reported since the start of 2016. (As Gothamist noted, that's a 31.5 percent increase since 2015.)
Ok, that's a little overwhelming. So how can we even begin to respond to awful garbage like this?

The Future of '80/20′ Affordable Housing Hangs in the Balance: Can 421-A Be Fixed?
(Photo: C Ceres Merry)
You may not have realized it, but the city has been in the midst of a "developocalypse" since January, when the state's 421-a program expired. For decades, the program had fueled development by excusing building owners of property taxes for up to 25 years so long as they devoted at least 20 percent of their units to affordable housing. Earlier this month, it was announced that the stalemate that brought on the developocalpyse, or at least that's how developers understood it, was over. As the state legislature now mulls over whether to approve the reauthorization of 421-a, City Council members are seeking ways to fix it, and make sure the program fulfills its original mission of creating affordable housing.

City Council Grills Mayor's Affordable Housing Plan, Fearing Williamsburg-Style Gentrification
(photo by Kavitha Surana)
City Council members pushed Mayor de Blasio's new rezoning plan to prioritize deeper affordability during a hearing yesterday on a key pillar of his effort to add 200,000 new affordable units over 10 years. If passed, Mandatory Inclusionary Housing would require new constructions in certain neighborhoods to set aside 25-30 percent of the units as permanently affordable.

NuHart Building Co-Owner on the Superfund Rave: "I Panicked"
November 3, 2015 By amiltonnymag
The NuHart Plastics Building (Photo: Nicole Disser)
The massive Halloween rave shutdown by the Fire Department in Greenpoint over the weekend stole the show once again, this time at Monday evening's Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) meeting about the oversight of hazardous waste cleanup at a former plastics manufacturing site in the neighborhood.
The building of interest, 280 Franklin Street (aka the NuHart Plastics building) is a Superfund site that was recently bought by a group of developers (DuPont Street Developers, LLC) hoping to turn it into a residential and retail site. Things got pretty, pretty weird at the meeting– to the point that Michael Roux, a geologist hired by the developers as an environmental consultant, fielded most of the questions about why on earth nearly 5,000 ravers were almost allowed to party on a Superfund site. At one point he slipped up, referring to the former plastics factory as a "venue." The audience erupted back. "It's not a venue!" one neighbor shouted. "It's a toxic waste site!"

Is Self-Citation a Real Thing?
What is Self-Citation?
Did you know that when you, as researcher, do not reference or recognise your own work in a research study, it is seen as self-plagiarism? Self-citation is essential to avoid plagiarism. The term self-citation refers to the recognition of your own work when you are expanding on previous research or referring to work you have previously published. The reasoning behind this? Research is cumulative and therefore you must refer to and attribute prior foundational academic work.
How Should it Be Used?
There is a limit to self-citation, however. When a researcher uses self-citation primarily to create a bigger impact, it becomes a matter of ethics. This unethical behaviour is called excessive self-citation, also referred to as citation manipulation. COPE states in a study from 2019 that, "When any of the above parties, editors, board members, reviewers, or authors add or request to add citations where the motivations are merely self-promotional this aim violates publication ethics and is unethical. Additionally, whether or not they are requested, citations to the editor's work should not be added in the belief that this will increase the likelihood of the publication being accepted" (2019).
What Does Self-Citation Look Like?
Self-citation has been called out on numerous occasions by the scientific community. In one computer science example as pointed out by Nature in a study PLoS Biology the scientist "received 94% of his citations from himself or his co-authors up to 2017." In this same data set, they list around 100 000 researchers of which 250 scientists have attained more than 50% of their citations from themselves or their co-authors. The median rate for self-citation is in fact 12.7% (Van Noorden & Chawla, 2019).
In other words, excessive self-citation is not easy to miss.
The researcher could easily commit citation manipulation when they want to publish work and increase the impact factor. This of course would open up doors for future publications. The journal, on the other hand, could accept it to raise its own impact factor, or it may be a journal that falls into a niche audience with limited topic choices (Sanfilippo et al., 2021).
What Impact Does Self-Citation Have on Academic Integrity?
There is a direct link between self-citation and academic integrity: citations, and thus self-citations, raise the academic reputation of a researcher or journal in the form of the impact factor score, which is a very visible indicator of reputation.
It can, however, have the opposite effect. As academics become increasingly aware of this form of abuse. It has become clear that the more self-citations there are, the more likely the author is trying to self-promote.
How Can This Problem of Self-Citation Be Addressed?
As a first step, raising awareness of self-citation abuse would contribute to the mitigation of misconduct. It is important that this awareness and underlying drive for academic integrity would guide academics to use self-citation appropriately. To support this, policies are being developed along with objective measurements for self-citation.

Upload at 9:45 pm PST. Well, I ordered the Forme Jacket *Herringbone but I'm not exactly sure what I'm getting since the images are all of the Pique Forme Jacket. The Nice Asana Jacket on the other hand is listed as Herringone and is actually a picture of a Herringbone Nice Asana. Unfortunately its got contrasted sleeves on it which I hate, and its styled with the uber hipster chambray shirt which I detest.
The Paisley Inkwell CRB is pretty but the Paisley print isn't my thing, and I can tell this is a heavy polyester CRB.
I'm not going to lie. I was tempted tonight to buy the Harmonious Hoodie in Buff. I have it in Corflower and I have worn it none stop since I got it a few weeks ago so much so that my husband got me the black one as well. I'm obsessed with this hoodie. The trick to washing it seems to be washing in cold with regular detergent (not wool detergent!) and washing it with a pair of jeans which helps defuzz it, then lay flat to dry. I found these washing suggestions on the IceBreaker website and so far so good after two washes. Its 100% Merino Wool so you definitely want to take extra care in washing it appropriately so that the fibres stay nice.

This seems to me a bit messy or unstable, like something here could "change tomorrow".
How would you overcome such a feeling (or shall I say, anxiety)?


Being safe, be comfortable,and to last long. With the help of our traditional construction method, your dream for "happy home" will come true.
A R C H I T E C T U R E .
Making a home is not the same as building a house. "Home making" could be realized not only by the family composition, but also various elements such as hobbies and thoughts and lifestyle of the family. After the new house is completed, the family will live in the house with attachment and continue to repair the house carefully, and as a result, they could aquire the "happy home".
In order to realize "happy home", we will always be your supporting booster.
There are so many performance requirements for a house, such as being safe, able to stay healthy, comfortable to spend time, and being beautiful, durable, environmentally friendly, etc. In order to satisfy all those requirements, we recommend the traditional construction methods with confidence.
The reason why we recommend the method is, not because the method has a long tradition, but because the method in fact includes superior performances. The traditional construction method has been handed down from generation to generation, and has been the most suitable housing for the area, by incorporating the climate and natural features, customs, thoughts, and so on.
We have a mission to inherit the traditional Japanese technology and pass it on to future generations.
We Sumaikoubou is a company established by Ikeo and Takiguchi who completed the national project Carpenters Training School and got the title of Daikushi. We wish to continue practicing the house making based on the traditional method that are kind to people, friendly to the environment, in order to preserve traditional Japanese technology and put it on to the next generations.

Q: Can't start Chef-server Things I did, step by step:

*

*wget https://packages.chef.io/stable/ubuntu/14.04/chef-server-core_12.8.0-1_amd64.deb

*wget https://packages.chef.io/stable/ubuntu/12.04/chefdk_0.17.17-1_amd64.deb

*sudo dpkg -i chef*

*Wait for them to install

*And sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure gives me

  api_fqdn server_name bookshelf['vip'] =
  server_name nginx['url'] = "http://#{server_name}"
  nginx['server_name'] = server_name

(same error even if I leave this empty, or set server_name to 'localhost', 'crti-test-vps' or whatever)
Server is hosted at DigitalOcean and doesn't have a domain name yet.

A: I had the exact same issue. Things I made that helped me to resolve the issue:

*

*Turned off nginx sudo service nginx stop - the error still persisted

*Turned off apache2 sudo service apache2 stop - the error was gone but sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure was returning other errors or no output at all (I felt it was random)

*Rebooted the server

After rebooting I successfully reconfigured chef. I think the problem may be connected with the amount of free RAM. I had small amount of free RAM before rebooting but I don't remember how much.

I try to see behind the goblins, searching for that strangely familiar voice, the one that sounded just like the sunflower's. However, all I can make out is some sort of strange psychedelic light, emanating from behind the troupe. The light seems to be coming from a figure, whoever (or whatever) it is. As he makes his way through the crowd, I finally get a good look at him. His hairstyle reminds me of a tall green chimney, and his red and green pinstriped costume is like that of a harlequin. An over-the-top, long purple cape drags behind him as he approaches me.
