Covid 19 & State of Emergency: Lessons of Georgetown
Guilherme Dray
Everything must be done to fight the social effects of this crisis. Governments, companies and trade unions should work together.
I had the pleasure of having been Visiting Professor at the University of Georgetown in Washington DC.
Founded in 1789, Georgetown is today one of the most vibrant American universities and on a global scale. A University which cultivates tolerance and freedom of spirit and creativity.
Georgetown is a magnificent neighborhood with late 18th-century villas, plenty of local commerce and small restaurants. A neighborhood located on top of a hill that overlooks the majestic Potomac River and from where you can see, on a vast plain, the State of Virginia.
Last week, Georgetown and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor organized a Webinar, entitled, "Labor and COVID 19: An International Perspective".
With representatives from the United States of America, Europe and Asia, the main concerns that this pandemic brings and the measures that different countries are taking around employment have been presented.
The following conclusions were presented:
We are living in a unique moment on a global scale that affects both rich and poor countries.
The pandemic will inevitably bring a serious social crisis and the exponential rise in unemployment, on a scale comparable to that of the great depression of 1919.
Like the New Deal, which at the time tackled the great depression in an innovative way, we need a new social contract to protect small business owners, workers, migrants and independent contractors.
States shall establish, if possible, at international level, a Contingency Fund enabling those who do not have access to social security protection net, particularly emigrants and self-employed persons.
The protection of workers should be extended to the precarious gig economy 'contractors.
Telework should be encouraged and a new "right of adaptation" promoted: the work must be adapted in such a way as to avoid risks of contagion.
States should focus on employment protection mechanisms, whether through part-time work or Lay Off, helping companies to maintain jobs and pay salaries.
Workers should be given accompanying rights for children and elderly, and health professionals at the front line be particularly protected through personal protective equipment.
On a temporary basis, rules should be created to make dismissal difficult for up to 3 months after the end of the first wave of the epidemic.
Trade unions and companies should promote "collective bargaining for the common good", seeking to extend the benefits negotiated for the workers to the whole community, including help to the unemployed.
Austerity policies focused on raising taxes and reducing wages should be avoided.
The need for freedoms that have been restricted in the future has also been recalled. And that's a good starting point to recall the Portuguese case.
On the one hand, it is important to quickly recover the right to strike, which in Portugal was suspended by the President of the Republic's decree of state of emergency. The right to strike is a constitutional right and enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is part of our values, ensuring harmony and balance to the system. Right to strike and free collective bargaining should be back as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it is also important to reactivate the private economic initiative, partially suspended through the presidential decrees. I recall the power to suspend firing exceptionally given by the Government to the Agency Department of Labor Issues. The current concern in this context of crisis is understood. However, if after the end of this exception period, we must resume to normality: the suspension of dismissals is desirable, yes, but only when decreed by a judicial authority. The suspension of firings by an administrative state agency may bring generates arbitrariness, affects the separation of powers and is a potential for arrogance that should be avoided at all costs.
The conclusions are therefore clear: everything must be done to fight the social effects of this crisis. Governments, companies and trade unions should work together.
At the end of this period, freedoms must be fully recovered: freedom of movement, association and unionism, as well as the right to strike and free business management.
These are Lessons of Georgetown.

Zapora wodna Bystřička (czes. Přehrada Bystřička) – zapora wodna we wschodniej części Republiki Czeskiej (na Morawach), wzniesiona na potoku Bystřička (prawobrzeżny dopływ Górnej Beczwy). Po jej wybudowaniu powstał zbiornik zaporowy Bystřička.

Położenie
Zapora leży w północno-zachodniej części Gór Wsetyńskich. Wzniesiono ją ok. 4,3 km powyżej ujścia Bystřički do Górnej Beczwy w miejscowości Bystřička w powiecie Vsetín. Znajduje się w dorzeczu Morawy.

Historia
Już w XVIII w. pojawiały się pierwsze konkretne projekty budowy drogi wodnej, łączącej Dunaj z Odrą i/lub Łabą. Budowa takiego kanału została zatwierdzona w 1873 r. przez obie izby parlamentu wiedeńskiego. Na skutek działań akcjonariuszy rozbudowywanych wówczas linii kolejowych prace nie zostały wówczas uruchomione. Dopiero 11 czerwca 1901 r. podpisano Ustawę o drogach wodnych, która przewidywała również budowę kanału Dunaj-Odra-Łaba. Ustawa przewidywała, że realizacja powinna rozpocząć się w 1904 roku i zakończyć w ciągu 20 lat. Elementami tego planowanego (i nigdy nie zrealizowanego) dzieła były podjęte wówczas m.in. regulacje niektórych odcinków rzek na Morawach. W celu zapewnienia wody niezbędnej do zasilania śluz nitki kanału prowadzącej do Odry, a znajdujących się w rejonie Bramy Morawskiej, podjęto w 1907 r. budowę zapory na Bystřičce i związanego z nią zbiornika wodnego. Prace zakończono w 1912 r. Drugą, w obliczu szeregu powodzi nawiedzających ten region na przełomie XIX i XX w. równie ważną rolą zapory miało być regulowanie przepływu wody Bystřički (i przyjmującej ją Górnej Beczwy).

Zapora na Bystřičce była jedną z pierwszych zapór wodnych budowanych na terenie Czech, pierwszą w dorzeczu Morawy powyżej ujścia do niej Dyji. Była również pierwszą zaporą wodną, wznoszoną w tej części Karpat, która zbudowana jest z fliszu karpackiego. Jej koszt wyniósł ok. 7 milionów ówczesnych koron austro-węgierskich.

W ciągu ponad stu lat funkcjonowania zapory była ona kilkakrotnie remontowana. Główne działania objęły modernizację urządzeń zrzutowych w latach 1960 - 1961 oraz remont samej zapory w latach 1964 - 1967, w trakcie którego mur zapory wzmocniono i uszczelniono systemem iniekcji cementowych. W latach 2001-2002 przeprowadzono remont korony zapory, a w latach 2003-2004, po spuszczeniu wody, wykonano po raz pierwszy od uruchomienia zapory oczyszczenie dna zbiornika z nanosów.

Charakterystyka zapory
Zapora grawitacyjna, łukowa, murowana z bloków piaskowca spajanych zaprawą cementową. Korpus zapory został posadowiony około 9 metrów poniżej poziomu dna doliny, na wysokości 350 m n.p.m. Podstawę zapory tworzą warstwy litych piaskowców i zlepieńców z niewielką wkładką łupków ilastych. Piaskowce mają lepiszcze wapniste. upad warstw budujących podłoże wynosi 38°, warstwy zapadają w kierunku północno-zachodnim, a więc w kierunku odwodnej strony muru zapory.

Objętość muru zapory wynosi 70 000 m3. Promień łuku zapory wynosi 135 m, długość jej korony 170 m, szerokość 4,6 m, wysokość 27,4 m. Korona zapory znajduje się na wysokości 386,60 m n.p.m. Dolna część muru zapory do wysokości 369 m n.p.m. jest wzmocniona przesłoną z materiału ilastego o miąższości 1,5-2,5 m.

Oba lica muru zapory zostały wyłożone okładzinami z wysokiej jakości kamienia, który został sprowadzony w tym celu z kamieniołomów w Hrabůvce koło Hranic na Morawach i w Bystřici pod Hostýnem, czyli z odległości około 50 km.

Wzniesiono ją według projektu wiedeńskiego konstruktora i radcy budowlanego Emila Grohmana, który w swych obliczeniach zastosował już współczesne spojrzenie na rozkłady obciążeń działających na mur zapory. Budowę realizowała wiedeńska firma "Rabas, Kosina und Weiner", a kierował nimi inżynier Julius Radna. Wszystkie prace były wykonywane ręcznie. Kamień konstrukcyjny pochodził z niedalekiego kamieniołomu, usytuowanego poniżej zapory, z którego dostarczano go specjalnie wybudowaną kolejką wąskotorową.

Zapora posiada upust denny, usytuowany w centrum łuku muru zaporowego (wydajność max. 2,5 m3/s) oraz dwa upusty w wieży wodnej (łączna wydajność max. 12,2 m3/s). Duży upust przelewowy, szerokości 51,5 m, którego krawędź znajduje się na wysokości 384,15 m n.m., z systemem kaskadowo ułożonych stopni, znajduje się poza zaporą, po jej lewej stronie, w odległości ok. 120 m od krańca muru zaporowego. Pomiędzy nimi stoi murowany budynek dyrekcji zapory, pochodzący z czasów jej budowy.

W celu ochrony przed przeciekami zaporę pomalowano warstwą specjalnej farby o grubości 0,5 ÷ 2,0 cm, nałożonej na tynk cementowy.

Na końcu dolnej galerii wylotowej zbudowano w 1982 r. niewielką elektrownię wodną, która wykorzystuje energię wody odprowadzanej ze zbiornika. Do obu rur tłocznych przyspawane zostały odgałęzienia, na których zainstalowano turbiny Bankiego-Michella o mocach odpowiednio 68,7 kW i 13,65 kW. Elektrownia jest w stanie wykorzystać przepływy od 0,027 m3/s do 0,588 m3/s.

Ochrona
W chwili budowy zapora na Bystřičce była najśmielszą tego typu konstrukcją w całych Austro-Węgrzech. Jest do dziś klasycznym, świetnie zachowanym dziełem myśli technicznej przełomu XIX i XX w. i przykładem ówczesnych zasad budowy zapór wodnych w tej części Europy. W uznaniu historycznych wartości całego kompleksu hydrotechnicznego w 2003 r. Ministerstwo Kultury Republiki Czeskiej uznało go zabytkiem kultury.

Q: Access to only one OpenShift application? The simplest OpenShift account offers up to three applications.
How would I give access to a third party, restricted to only application? They need to be able to deploy code to only that one app.

*

*I could create a second set of SSH keys - but it seems that keys are account level access: i.e. all applications on that account.

*I could create an Authorization token - but that's also at account level.

*I could just share the SSH details of the application - but then when I want to close access, how would I change the details?

Feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

A: ssh keys are the way to go.  The third party can provide you their public key so you can add them to your account.  Then, you can give them the UUID and App URL (or git url) for just that one app.  They do potentially have access to all gears within your account, but realistically, its safe to assume they can't guess the UUID of your other apps.
To revoke access, just delete the public key from your account.

Sour grapes, or legitimate gripes?
Multiple WWE women took to social media this week to express their distaste for the amount of praise and attention Ronda Rousey garnered in the wake of the first-ever women's Royal Rumble.
"Wonder what all the 30 other women candid thoughts were too? #firsteverwomensroyalrumble," Nikki Bella of the Bella Twins wrote on Twitter alongside a link to Rousey's post-Rumble interview.
"Cool she's here … I guess 30 women making history can just be forgotten," Nia Jax, another wrestler, said in a tweet.
Sunday's event was a watershed moment, the first Royal Rumble to include women. Yet soundbites from Rousey, the newcomer, have consumed fans and media. Consider the spotlight hogged.
Rousey's presence, in general, took centre stage over the weekend. The retired UFC superstar not only made her pro wrestling debut during a historic match, but she also talked proudly of the honour afterwards, irking her peers.

Addison Blockhouse Historic State Park
Addison Blockhouse Historic State Park is the site of a 19th-century plantation named after its owner, John Addison. Addison built a few structures, including a small coquina rock blockhouse which was originally used as an outside kitchen. All that remains are the blockhouse and partial walls and foundations of a sugar mill built in 1832. The site is hard to reach but interpretive hikes and historical society outings are offered to those interested in seeing the ruins.
These and other ruins are all that remain of the Addison Plantation.
After John Addison sold the property, it was converted by the next owners, the McRaes, to grow sugar cane. But the plantation and its sugar mill were destroyed by a Seminole raiding party despite a garrison of the Carolina Militia on the property. Abandoned by its owners, the remains of the oyster and lime shell buildings vanished beneath the leafy green understory, but the blockhouse was added to in the 1920s. Officials are trying to preserve the remaining buildings and ruins for public viewing. Addison was buried on the property after his death, but due to vandalism, his tombstone was moved near the visitor center in Tomoka State Park in the 1970s.

Plus ça change…: The Effects of Nationalism and Electoral Competition on Immigration and Integration Policy Proposals in Quebec, 1976-2014
Rivard, Alexandre B. (2017) Plus ça change…: The Effects of Nationalism and Electoral Competition on Immigration and Integration Policy Proposals in Quebec, 1976-2014. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Rivard_MPPPA_S2017.pdf - Accepted Version
This work is a comprehensive study of immigration and integration policy proposals made by the Parti Libéral du Québec (PLQ) and the Parti Québécois (PQ) through the 11 elections that took place from 1976-2016. Where the PLQ is a federalist provincial party, the PQ is the PLQ's primary opponent and represents the province's sovereignist ambitions. However, this work posits that the PLQ and PQ propose similar immigration and integration policy proposals. Where one might expect to see a stark contrast between the parties' proposed ethnocultural diversity management policies, we see periods of significant convergence—both parties, in fact, propose similar policies as a whole. Furthermore, this work examines the impact that nationalism and electoral competition maintained over the parties' policy proposals. Simply put, this work argues that nationalism is incredibly important for both parties but both parties largely proposed inclusive and pluralist ethnocultural diversity management proposals. The theory of brokerage politics has been applied in order to explain this convergence, in effect demonstrating that the parties converge on this policy area in order to appeal to the greatest number of voters as possible by fundamentally limiting the ideological differences between the two parties.

To answer the question about adding gutter covers like the product we handle leafDefier some pictures of the current condition of the gutters were taken as I spot checked the gutters. The goal was to see how clogged the gutters were and what areas seem to the most blockage. With more information on where most of the seeds and leaves from the trees accumulate after not being cleaned for 6 months then you can project what the need might be. In this case the buildings in Stamford have a number of trees near by but only about half of the gutters have any organic material in them.
To keep the cost of maintenance down for the Condominium Association two options are possible. Set a budget amount to install covers on the sections that get the most leaves then so the sections that accumulate the most leaves so cleaning is not needed as often. With a 25 year warrantee the gutters with LeafDefier will remain free flowing and only a periodic cleaning will be needed on the rest of the system. My estimation is every 3 years. One clear way to know if there is a need to do the gutters is watch for over flowing gutters in a thunderstorm. As long as this is not happening then the cleaning can be postponed.
The other benefit is if the cleaning contractor learns the system and the fact that not that much has to be cleaned then the cost of cleaning the rest of the uncovered gutters should be less since it will go faster. The one variable is the tree in front of the project as it gets bigger it will probably start filling the front gutters with more leaves. Right now it does not look like much is accumulating in that section. The other option for the association would be to add some amount of LeafDefier at each future cleaning in the worst sections of gutters that have not been done yet. This would extend the need for periodic cleaning even longer and help fit the always tight condominium association budget.


The diverse nature of Indian food means that it can be spicy or sweet, light or rich, according to your own personal tastes. In summer many of us try to cut back and eat lighter dishes. Indian cuisine can have a reputation for being high in calories but if you are looking for lighter Indian food in summer, you won't be disappointed.

Amrita- give inglot primer a try. It is great for oily skin. MAC makes a mattifying cream.
thanks Rati for posting it..i gonna try inglot for sure..
also amrita before applying makeup may be apply some ice or col towel on your face this would reduce the appearance of pores. Clarins also make a pore perfector.
for me laura mericier is good! I've oily skin and this stops oiliness to quite a good extent! But I'd suggest you give natural aloe vera gel a try! Worked as a great primer for me! I'm frankly using LM just for the sake of finishing it! But it's good though, just that aloe vera gel is better!
oh thats nice..dosent need much water i have heard so taking care should be easy I hope. Such a useful plant. Do let us know how it works for you.
as rati suggested, has anybody tried out the inglot primer? what is the cost, rati?
if I am using sunblock which has the tint, the moiturizer and the sunblock, do I need to use a primer before applying this?

John Kerry Net Worth
John Kerry Net Worth: John Kerry is an American politician and diplomat who has a net worth of $250 million dollars. He is known for being a Senator and the 68th United States Secretary of State. John Kerry is a Vietnam veteran, who spoke out vehemently against the Vietnam War after returning home as part of "Vietnam Veterans Against the War."
Wealth: John Kerry's wealth comes from his marriage to heiress Teresa Heinz. Prior to marrying John Kerry in 1995, Teresa was married to ketchup tycoon John Heinz from 1966 until his death in 1991 from a plane crash. John Heinz was the heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune. That fortune passed on to Teresa after his death. Her net worth is kept in trusts and is estimated to be worth $750 million – $1.2 billion. The couple purchased an 18-acre property on Martha's Vineyard in April 2017. The seven-bedroom property cost a reported $11.75 million.
Early Life: He was born John Forbes Kerry on December 11, 1943, in Aurora, Colorado. He is the second to four children born to Richard John Kerry and Rosemary Forbes. The family moved around a lot with his father's military career until he was discharged from the Army Air Corps. Kerry lived in Groton, Massachusetts and Millis, Massachusetts before moving to Washington D.C. at age seven when his father took a spot in the Department of the Navy's Office of General Counsel and became a diplomat in the State Department's Bureau of United Nations Affairs.
Kerry's wealthy great-aunt paid for him to attend an elite boarding school in Switzerland. Kerry went on to major in political science at Yale University. In March of 1965, as the Vietnam War escalated, Kerry won the prestigious Ten Eyck prize as the best orator in the junior class for a speech that was critical of U.S. foreign policy. He studied with speaking coach Rollin G. Osterweis and won several college debates across the nation. Kerry graduated with lackluster grades in 1966.
Career: Kerry joined the Naval Reserve in 1966 and in the period from 1968 to 1969, he served an abbreviated four-month tour of duty in South Vietnam as officer-in-charge (OIC) of a Swift Boat. This service earned him combat medals including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts. Next, he joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in which he served as a nationally recognized spokesman and as an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War. Before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Kerry stated that U.S. war policy in Vietnam was the cause of "war crimes."
Once he took his J.D. From Boston College Law School, he started to work as an Assistant District Attorney and co-founded a private firm. From 1983 to 1985, Kerry served as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts under Michael Dukakis, working on an early forerunner to the national Clean Air Act. Having won a tight Democratic primary in 1984 for the U.S. Senate, he got sworn in the following January. As a United States Senator from Massachusetts, he served from 1985 to 2013, and he was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he led a series of hearings from 1987 to 1989.

John Kerry joined the 2004 presidential election as a nominee of the Democratic Party, but he lost to incumbent George W. Bush. After President Barack Obama nominated Kerry to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, he was confirmed by the US Senate by a vote of 94–3 on January 29, 2013. John Kerry assumed the office on February 1, 2013. As Secretary of State, Kerry initiated the 2013-2014 Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and negotiated landmark agreements restricting the nuclear program of Iran. In 2013 he initiated the Joint Plan of Action and in 2015 the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. In 2016, Kerry signed the Paris Agreement on climate change on behalf of the United States.
Kerry served as Secretary of State until the end of the Obama administration in January 2017. He then retired from government service, but has remained active in public affairs as an opponent of President Donald Trump and as a supporter of President-elect Joe Biden. He did not attend Trump's inauguration in 2017 and the following day he took part in the Women's March in Washington, D.C. He published his memoirs detailing his life and career in government, "Every Day is Extra" in September 2018. In November 2020, President-elect Biden announced that Kerry would serve as the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate in the Biden administration. In this new role, he will work for the National Security Council.
Personal Life: Kerry was married to Julia Thorne in 1970 and they had two daughters together, Alexandra and Vanessa Kerry. Alexandra was born just days before Kerry began law school. In 1982, Julia asked John for a divorce while she was suffering from severe depression, but it was drawn out until 1997 when the marriage was formally annulled. Thorne supported Kerry's 2004 presidential run and sadly died of cancer in April 2006. Kerry married Teresa Heinz in May 1995.
In 2003, he was diagnosed and treated successfully for prostate cancer. Kerry had another health scare in May 2015 when he broke his right leg in a cycling accident in Scionzier, France, and was airlifted to Boston's General Hospital. He was released after a four-hour operation. Kerry is an avid cyclist, snowboarder, windsurfer, and sailor.

PSC Water Rate Decision Fails To Protect Rockland Consumers, Day Says
Rockland County Executive Ed Day slammed the state's Public Service Commission Tuesday for what he called a failure to protect Suez consumers from hikes in their water rates. Photo Credit: File
Area Man Charged In Connection To Alleged Role In Capitol Riot
NEW CITY, N.Y. – Rockland chief Ed Day would like to sink the state's recent decision on a rate hike for customers of Suez New York Water.
The county executive said Tuesday that the state Public Service Commission didn't go far enough to protect consumers.
The state granted Suez a $4.87 million rate increase, $960,000 less than the water supplier had requested. But, Day contended, this is merely "a dent in the costs."
"It's certainly not a victory for the ratepayers of Rockland County," he added.
The approval means the average Rockland water customer will likely pay a total of $122 more over the next three years, Day said.
Suez's director of external affairs, Bill Madden, said Tuesday that the utility had not yet received the PSC's order.
"We understand it may be approximately 100 pages in length. This is a very complex and lengthy ruling that deserves very careful consideration," Madden said.
Suez will analyze the order "thoroughly" before responding to the PSC and its customers, he added.
According to the county, the state also ruled that Rockland ratepayers are on the hook for $31 million in costs associated with a desalination plant that was never built. Suez had asked for $39 million.
"We continue to maintain that the people of Rockland should not have to pay expenses related to the failed water desalination plant," Day said. "The ratepayers in Rockland did nothing to deserve these costs."
Rockland has sued, claiming that the PSC has failed to protect consumers from having to absorb "exorbitant" costs related to the demise of the plant plans.
The decision by the PSC issued Tuesday has no bearing on the lawsuit, Day said.
Meanwhile, Sen. David Carlucci, D-Rockland/Westchester, weighed in Tuesday, slamming the PSC for giving the thumbs-up to the rate hike.
Carlucci, the new chairman of the Senate's Consumer Protection Committee, said he plans to co-sponsor and advance legislation creating a dedicated utility consumer advocate who would "be an independent voice" during rate hike proceedings.
Calling Suez's planned hike "outrageous," Carlucci said the utility must be kept "accountable."
The position is necessary, Carlucci said, so residents have a say "when facing unscrupulous utilities looking to make profits on the backs of the consumer."
According to the senator, 40 others states already have independent agencies that represent the interests of utility customers.

Lunar eclipses occur on full moon days when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, which results in obstructing some or all of the Sun's light from reaching the Moon.
Kanpur.Kanpur. Chandra Grahan 2020 Date Timings in India: The first lunar eclipse of the new year starts on January 10. There are three types of lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse, full lunar eclipse and fragmentary or sub-shadow lunar eclipse. This happens because the Sun, the Earth and the Moon do not form a perfectly straight line.
Because the United States is on the daylight side of the Earth when the penumbral lunar eclipse happens, US viewers will not be able to see the eclipse. The Earth's shadow falls on the moon, creating a reddish hue, or what some call a "blood moon".
NASA has chose to call the very first eclipse of 2020 the 'Wolf Moon Eclipse.' The eclipse will be visible in India and many others in Asia, the eclipse will last for four hours and five minutes. But this time it is not a lunar eclipse, it is just a shadow lunar eclipse.
People that are unable to see the eclipse can watch it on AccuWeather.com where Slooh's live broadcast of the eclipse will air.
Victoria - Wodonga, Geelong, Ballarat, Melbourne, Mildura, and Shepparton starting at 4:07 am, with the maximum penumbral eclipse varying from 6:03 am to 6:10 am. Therefore, during this particular eclipse you will see no dark shadow as in total or partial lunar eclipses, but only a reduction of the brightness of the Moon, Prof. The eclipse will start on Friday, 10 Jan from 10:37 p.m to 2:42 a.m on Saturday, 11 January.
During a total eclipse of the Moon, Earth's only natural satellite completely dips into the darkest shadow cast by our planet - the umbra.
And previous year, a attractive Blood Moon eclipse was visible over swathes of the planet, including India, on January 21, 2019.
The eclipsing will then end around 2.42am IST when the Moon exits the penumbra.

Recently, I spent a weekend in Toronto, enjoying the warmth of spring with a nice walk through High Park and Bloor West Village. A new addition to the area caught my eye since the last time I visited the area—solar panel poles had been installed at each block as an alternative energy source for the region. I was glad to see small changes being made in the urban setting with respect to going green.
This use of solar power as an emerging 'greening' method in urban design intrigued me, and I was fascinated to learn more about how seriously this innovation is being taken on the global scale.
In Washington, D.C. this fall, twenty post-secondary institutions from around the world are showcasing innovative designs for solar-powered homes which they've been developing for the past two years. This event, called the Solar Decathlon, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, was established in 2002. It aims to educate the public about sustainable options for homes based on solar power and maximizing nature's role in how a home can function.
The criteria for competition between the contending universities and colleges includes producing more energy for the home than that which is required for it to operate, possessing highly aesthetic appeal, having marketable potential, and being affordable (within a $250,000USD range). These components, along with several others, are divided into 10 contests for the event, upon which each institution's home is allotted points that contribute to its overall grade of sustainability.
Some other entries that are worth considering are from Florida International University, the University of Tennessee, and Tongji University in China.
The Solar Decathlon for 2009 attracted over 300,000 visitors to the venue where the homes were displayed. The winner of the challenge demonstrates the best blend of affordability, consumer appeal, design excellence, optimal energy production, and maximum efficiency. In my mind, the Solar Decathlon serves as a phenomenal way to market modern ideas that people would be willing to incorporate into designs for their current homes, or when building a new home in the future.

Soccer Preview vs. Wake Forest
Terry Rabbitts
Richie Laryea looks to shoot against the Buckeyes
The University of Akron men's soccer team heads back out to the pitch tonight to take on Wake Forest at 7 p.m. at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.
The Zips (4-1-1) enjoyed a six break from game action after having to play four games in the previous 12 days, the last being a 3-3 deadlock with The Ohio State Buckeyes.
That game against the Buckeyes was the only one of the four in which Akron was not facing a ranked team, after matches against Georgetown, Maryland, and Saint Louis (all victories).
Akron's strong showing in those games propelled them to the No. 11 ranking in the last poll put out by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) released on September 15.
Tonight's game will test the Zips as they take on the Demon Deacons (6-1), who were ranked No. 7 in the same NSCAA poll.
The newest rankings will be released later today and will end up reflecting the Zips tie against Ohio State and the Wake Forest loss to No. 18 Elon and a victory against unranked ACC foe, Syracuse.
Leading the Zips so far this season in scoring have been Sam Gainford with 11 points (4 goals, 3 assists) and Adam Najem with 10 points (4 goals, 2 assists). Richie Laryea is not far behind with seven points on two goals and three assists.
Minding the net is goalkeeper Jake Fenlason who has made 24 saves in his six games this year. Fenlason has a 2.03 goals against average (GAA) so far this season.
Leading the Demon Deacons in scoring is Michael Gamble with 11 points (5 goals, 1 assist) followed by Jack Harrison with eight points on two goals and four assists.
Wake Forest goalkeepers are yet to be severely tested as Andrew Harris (2-1 record, 0.33 GAA) and Alec Ferrell (4-0, 0.75) they have only faced 42 shots (only 12 on goal) in seven games.
The Zips have taken 95 shots overall and 40 shots have been on goal in their six games, so Wake's netminder should be tested.
This is only the Demon Deacons second game on the road and will be a test for them in front more than 3,000 fans. The AK-Rowdies will be sure to pack the areas around the playing surface, making the environment unfriendly for the visitors.

Read more about General M. Bison at: Wikipedia
Official Site: Capcom
M. Bison, is a video game character created by Capcom. First introduced in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, he is a recurring character in the Street Fighter series of fighting game, acting as the final boss and primary antagonist of the Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha series.
A would-be world dictator, and a pure incarnation of evil, M. Bison's ambition is to control the world's governments through his covert crime syndicate, . He serves as the host of Street Fighter II 's fighting tournament and is the last opponent fought in the game. Several Street Fighter characters—including Guile, T. Hawk, Cammy, Rose and Chun-Li—have their personal vendetta against M. Bison and have entered the tournament in the hope of having a shot at him. M. Bison wields an inherently evil energy known as Psycho Power.
In Japan, the character is named , derived from the star of the same name. However, during localization of Street Fighter II for the English language market, Capcom's North American branch felt that the name sounded non-threatening to North American audiences for the game's final boss, and was more suitable for the androgynous cage fighter Balrog. At this same time another concern arose that the name of another character, Mike Bison, conceived as a parody of real-life boxer Mike Tyson, would be a legal liability for Capcom. As a result, the characters swapped names, and the game's final boss was dubbed M. Bison for English language appearances of the character. Unlike the boxer, Capcom has never stated the meaning for the "M." in the American name, calling it "part of the character's mystery". Regardless, Bison has been adressed as Master Bison in Street Fighter Alpha 3 repeatedly, as well as in the animated movie. In his introduction before a fight in (Super) Street Fighter IV, he refers to himself as The Mighty Bison.
When developing Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, it was decided to give him a more muscular appearance, rather than have him resemble "a middle aged man", while his face was modified to appear somewhat demonic.

For Dara Mabrey to hint at a career still a bit unfilled may sound somewhat absurd. Yet, the sentiments are pure, opening a window into what makes the Manasquan standout tick and among the most competitive athletes to ever grace a playing surface in the Shore Conference.
Her resume reads like Hall of Famer. A two-time Kerwin Award winner, bestowed annually upon the best player in the Shore Conference. A Tournament of Champions title as a freshman, three straight NJSIAA Group 2 state crowns and a SCT championship. Oh yeah, don't forget 1,919 career points, leaving her 81 shy of joining her older sisters Michaela and Marina in the 2,000-point club.
And, she is committed to Virginia Tech.
Mabrey is a risk taker and a gamebreaker. A playmaker with a creative passing eye, delicate shooter's touch and…unfinished business? If you don't believe us, just ask for her take on Saturday's Shore Conference Tournament final pitting the second-seeded Warriors opposite top-seeded St. John Vianney on Saturday at 6 p.m. in OceanFirst Bank Center on the campus of Monmouth University.
A Mabrey on a mission is a dangerous one and a subject that St. John Vianney will devote a great deal of attention to in an effort to bottle some of her magic. The trick will be to disarm a mystical wand that steers the Warriors.
Her robust 22.1 points per game overshadows a style far more rounded. A staunch defender ever since she emerged on the scene as a freshman, Mabrey is the catalyst of a unit loyal to man to man but ventures enough to employ the occasional 2-3 zone. Besides collecting 3.0 steals a contest, she averages 4.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
The last stat may be the most important in terms of unlocking the Warriors' firepower. Junior Faith Masonius (18.7 ppg., 10.2 rpg., 3.4 apg., 2.4 spg.), a 6-0 swing who verballed to Maryland, has elevated her game to greater heights. Always one of the most exceptional passers out of the high post, she plays freely in the halfcourt, a threat from distance as much as she is on the blocks. She can run the break while looking over the top of most defenses (which won't be the case against a sizable St. John Vianney lineup), works shrewdly off the ball and hammers the glass.
Junior guard Lola Mullaney (14.8 ppg., 5.4 rpg.) possesses a deft perimeter touch to offset her timely cuts to the rim and can play bigger than her 5-10 frame while senior guard Carly Geissler (4.5 ppg., 2.8 apg.) can spell Mabrey on the point and has developed into an underrated shooter willing to step into opportunities when enticed by a clean look. She, too, keeps everyone involved with her smart distribution.
Inside, rugged senior forward Emma McMenaman (3.4 rpg., 1.0 bpg.) aggressively challenges those who trespass into the paint with careful challenges to complement her work on the boards. And, the Warriors have some dangerous reserves itching for opportunity in junior guard Annie Mako and freshman guard Maci Black.
The degree of separation between Manasquan and St. John Vianney is THISCLOSE. The Warriors play with an edge that emanates from Mabrey but can count on the Lancers to give as good as they get.
Geissler and Mabrey must withstand Vianney's full-court press when instituted, utilizing Masonius as the fulcrum in the middle who can kick quickly outside to guards in motion to get Manasquan advantages attacking the basket or, at minimum, settled in to halfcourt sets. With six-footers Sarah Furch and Brelynn Bellamy, along with 5-11 Sajada Bonner and 5-11 Madison Doring, milling underneath for SJV, the Warriors have to put forth a concerted effort to neutralize SJV in the rebounding department.
Road to the Final: Defeated No. 15 Middletown North, 65-22, No. 7. Toms River North, 66-38, and No. 3 Red Bank Catholic, 55-37.


The South West is quickly establishing itself as a hotbed for creative talent with an explosive live music scene fixing cities like Bristol, Bath and Frome firmly on the UK tour calendar. So it's no wonder that from this lively and experimental soil bursts forth a band like Karma Club.
Now I may be a little bias given that the band are home town lads but I don't think anyone would disagree that Karma Club brings something different to the synth sound. They've been compared to the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, The Cure and The 1975 and they certainly sit well in this pedigree.
Their anticipated debut EP, Smile it's good for you, is a collection of strong bass hooks and joyful swirling rhythms that scream of a deep musical pedagogy. It is like a burst of summer with the undertones of a cracking hang-over that makes it light yet with a dark edge threatening to push through at any moment from the grinding strings of The Collective.
From the Afro-indie pop beats of Timelines to the 80's style grunge rifts of Coming Over their song writing and production is a firm nod to some heavy-weight influences. In fact Sixties feels like a respectful nod to the visionary work of recently passed synth legend William Onyeabor, who was arguably one of the earliest and biggest influences on the world synth scene.
This sense of coming from deeper, more prescient roots is no accident. The band's founding aim was to influence the future of every individual through the action of their music. That's fighting talking and I am not sure, despite all of its brilliance, their first EP manages to quite hit that mark but they feel like a band that have a lot more to offer and if this first contribution is anything to go by, with a little experience, they might just well deliver that knockout punch!
Smile it's good for you is produced by another South West legend, Bruno Ellingham who has worked with the likes of Massive Attack (Bristol band of course) and New Order. It is out now and a string of tour dates are planned across the country including a trip back home – see you there lads!
