Do Earnings by College Major Affect Graduate Migration?
John V. Winters
(Oklahoma State University)
College graduates are considerably more mobile than non-graduates, and previous literature suggests that the difference is at least partially attributable to college graduates being more responsive to employment opportunities in other areas. However, there exist considerable differences in migration rates by college major that have gone largely unexplained. This paper uses microdata from the American Community Survey to examine how the migration decisions of young college graduates are affected by earnings in their college major. Results indicate that higher major-specific earnings in an individual's state of birth reduce out-migration suggesting that college graduates are attracted toward areas that especially reward the specific type of human capital that they possess.

text:
De tureluur of tjerk (Tringa totanus) is een vogel uit de familie van strandlopers en snippen (Scolopacidae) met geslachtsnaam Tringa (ruiters).

Andere soorten ruiters zijn: witgat, bosruiter, zwarte ruiter en groenpootruiter.

Kenmerken
Hij kan 25 tot 30 centimeter groot worden. Belangrijk kenmerk zijn de felrode poten. Het verenkleed bestaat uit een donkergrijsbruine bovenzijde met lichte vlekjes, een witte onderzijde en gevlekte flanken. Verder heeft de vogel een rode snavel met een donkere punt, een lichtbruine hals, borst en kop met donkere strepen. Hij heeft een witte rugwig en een brede, witte achtervleugel.

Voortplanting
Het legsel bestaat meestal uit vier matte, peervormige eieren, die zeer gevarieerd gekleurd kunnen zijn.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
De tureluur broedt in een groot gebied dat van IJsland naar West- en Midden-Europa en dwars door Midden-Azië tot aan de Grote Oceaan loopt. Hij overwintert in zuidelijke gebieden.

De soort telt zes ondersoorten:
 T. t. robusta: IJsland en de Faeröer-eilanden.
 T. t. totanus: westelijk en noordelijk Europa tot westelijk Siberië.
 T. t. ussuriensis: van zuidelijk Siberië en Mongolië tot oostelijk Azië.
 T. t. terrignotae: zuidelijk Mantsjoerije en oostelijk China.
 T. t. craggi: noordwestelijk China.
 T. t. eurhina: Tadzjikistan, noordelijk India en Tibet.

Voorkomen en status in Nederland en Vlaanderen
In Nederland komen tureluurs het hele jaar voor. Het is een (nog steeds) talrijke broedvogel, verder zijn er grote aantallen doortrekkers en minder grote aantallen overwinteraars. Een van de belangrijkste broedgebieden van Nederland is het Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe waar bijna 10% van de Nederlandse populatie broedt. De Nederlandse broedvogels overwinteren aan de kusten van Portugal, Spanje en Noordwest-Afrika. De tureluurs die in Nederland doortrekken en overwinteren zijn vogels uit Noordwest-Europa. Deze houden zich vooral op in zoute en brakke getijdewateren.

In Vlaanderen werd het aantal broedparen door het INBO op 300 à 350 geschat.

Status
In de periode 1989-1991 werd het aantal broedvogels in Nederland geschat op 30.000 paar. Tussen 2003 en 2007 is er een afnemende trend geconstateerd van 5% per jaar. Door de geleidelijk afname staat de tureluur als 'gevoelig' op de Nederlandse rode lijst van bedreigde of kwetsbare vogelsoorten. De tureluur staat op de Vlaamse rode lijst als kwetsbaar. De achteruitgang wordt veroorzaakt door onder meer de grootschalige, gerationaliseerde melkveehouderij. De tureluur valt ook onder het AEWA-verdrag.

Internationaal loopt de vogel geen gevaar, hij staat als 'veilig' (Least Concern) op de IUCN-lijst.

Broedgedrag
Het broedseizoen van de tureluur loopt van half april tot in juni. Het broeden duurt 22 à 25 dagen. Deze weidevogel legt gewoonlijk vier eieren van gemiddeld 45 × 32 mm, in een kuiltje in het gras, meestal in een weiland. De grashalmen rond het nest worden over het nest gebogen, waardoor het goed verborgen is. Typerend is dat de tureluur vaak op slechts enkele meters afstand broedt van het nest van een kievit. De tureluur profiteert daardoor van de technieken die de kievit heeft om predatoren op afstand te houden.

Copenhagen, 24 May – The Clean Energy Ministerial Campaign – Corporate Sourcing of Renewables – closes on a high this week at the Ninth Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM9) meeting in Copenhagen, with a launch of a REmade Index – a global reference index for corporate sourcing of renewables.
A new report – Remade Index - prepared by CEM Members and the International Renewable Agency presented today at CEM9 in Copenhagen, show that half of the over 2,400 large companies analysed are voluntarily and actively procuring or investing in self-generation of renewable electricity for their operations. Of the companies in the study, more than 200 source at least half of their power from renewables. Electricity self-generation is the most common sourcing model, followed by unbundled energy attribute certificates (EACs) and PPAs.
The report finds that the corporate sourcing trend is widespread and dynamic, with companies participating in the practice coming from various sectors. By volume, the majority of renewable electricity was consumed in the materials sector while the highest shares of renewable electricity consumption are found in the financial (24 per cent) and information technology (12%) sectors. Countries in Europe and North America continue to account for the bulk of corporate sourcing.


Why do we pick them to be the best bian lian performers for Singapore especially in the M.I.C.E. space? Without a doubt, Cyrus, the owner of Lion Dance Singapore has heaps of experience running a M.I.C.E. convention or dinner. The tons of experience he has on hand is valuable to companies who are in the space for conventions. Besides providing Bian Lian performances, Cyrus also provides lion dance singapore performance, photo booths and wushu performances.
So what makes him the best Bian Lian provider around?
Cyrus arrives half an hour before every showtime, with sufficient buffer time to change into costumes. Besides getting ready, he will also need to survey the performance area to identify potential tripping hazards, as vision is limited once he is in bian lian costume. His team of Bian Lian performers has a standard operating procedure for mask changing, hence the performance is of high quality across all performers. Unlike other bian lian performers who goes onto stage and than react accordingly to situation, his performance has always maintained their standard.
This revolution against the traditional face/mask changing performance has received international critics, with China slamming the performance as "pseudo-culture" and "misrepresentation" of the ancient chinese face/mask changing performance in 2006.
Since then, China's bian lian artists are also trained to perform quick changing as to meet their market's demand for higher entertainment value performances. As such, most bian lian masters transcended from being skeptical to providing it as a wholesome service.
The incorporation of quick changing in mask changing performance has proved to be a resounding success with clients giving very positive feedback on the performance.
Good customer service equates a happy customer, hence top notch services and service guarantees are often expected for performances in the M.I.C.E. industry. However, skillful perception management is required where guarantees are provided. While Cyrus does not guarantee full refund, he guarantees that his performances have never slipped for mask changing.
Under promise but over delivers – this is his style of service.
There used to be a time where word-of-mouth was his primary source of sales. With the help of informational technology, sales sky-rocketed while most of his competitors are still dependent on word-of-mouth. As such, Cyrus enjoys more performance exposure within the industry and henceforth moved on to be one of the market leaders in the performance niche. His efforts paid off when international magicians reached out to learn from him the art of mask changing. However, as he swore to secrecy, he could only politely decline to teach. This affirms his position in the market for Bian Lian performance.
This page is dedicated to Bian Lian Singapore Performance Reviews. All reviews are author's subjective perception of Bian lian peformance.

March 3, 2007 by philg
I finally finished the 800-page biography of Andrew Carnegie, which perhaps is a sign of having too much time on my hands.
The strongest impression that I get from the book is that Carnegie was the Bill Gates of his day. Carnegie became the richest man in the world through a combination of intelligence, hard work at an early age, a certain amount of what we today would regard as illegal insider trading, and connections. Once he was the richest guy in the world, everyone listened to everything he said very carefully. He looked around and decided that the greatest evil facing the world was war. War did not provide who was right, only who was stronger. After concluding that he was, in addition to being the richest guy in the world, probably one of the smartest, he invested much of his money and most of his energy in achieving peace among nations. Folks such as Teddy Roosevelt privately thought that he was an old fool, but nobody would say it to his face. Carnegie pushed for peace and mediation among nations and spent four of the last five years of his life watching World War I sweep through Europe.
[The analogy with Bill Gates is that, after becoming both the richest and smartest guy in the world, he decided that he could solve the problems of poverty and disease in Africa that had defied attempts by the world's biggest governments and NGOs.]
Some parts of the book that stuck out for me…
Page 113: In December 1868, Carnegie was 33 years old and had accumulated a fortune of $400,000, equivalent to $75 million today. He decided that this was sufficient for a comfortable lifestyle and whatever he earned on top of the $75 million would be spent on charity. Carnegie is well known for believing that, since wealth was only possible in an advanced society, accumulated wealth should be returned to the community. What is not well known is that he thought it was only incumbent upon men to start doing this once they'd risen out of the middle class lifestyle that $75 million would provide!
Page 133: Carnegie retired at age 37, the same age that Rossini retired (and the author of this Weblog).
Page 141: Much of Carnegie's wealth was owed to tariffs, proving then as now that lobbying the federal government is the best investment that any business can make. The free trade advocates in the 1870s were the Democrats, though. Carnegie was a Republican and it was the pro-business Republicans who stuck it to American consumers with big tariffs that prevented efficient British steel manufacturers from dominating the U.S. market.
Page 150: "Carnegie was, it appeared, as he approached age forty, beginning to advertise his availability as an eligible bachelor."
Page 197: "Carnegie, who [age 44] was only two years younger than Louise's father would have been, appeared at first a most unlikely suitor for the 23-year-old woman. He was tiny, white-bearded, devoted to and living with his mother, and growing stouter by the day."
Carnegie did not preach hard work. He believed that wealth came from having the right connections and capable subordinates.
Page 203: "Your always busy man accomplishes little; the great doer is he who has plenty of leisure." It was the height of foolishness, he had found, to delay gratification and put off retirement until one was too old to enjoy it. … "Among the saddest of spectacles to me is that of an elderly man occupying his last years grasping for more dollars." Americans, Carnegie declared, were of all the world's peoples the most victimized by a work ethic gone mad. … "Americans were the saddest looking race we had seen. LIfe is so terribly earnest here. Ambition spurs us all on, from him who handles the spade to him who employes thousands." … Americans, Carnegie was convinced, worked harder than was necessary and much harder than the British. [some things never change!] "No toilers, rich or poor, like the Americans!" he remarked.
Page 257: "I believe the day is coming when a man who leaves more than a million at his death, except for public uses, will be regarded as not having properly administered that for which he was only the trust." [$1 million back in 1885 was probably more like the $75 million figure we got earlier, so don't feel bad if you are leaving the McMansion to the kids…]
Carnegie thought that giving big $$ to children was a bad idea.
Page 352: Poverty, he claimed, not wealth, was the "only school capable of producing the supremely great, the genius." Inherited wealth robbed the inheritors of their self-respect and blocked the "fittest" from advancing. No society could reach its highest potential if it gave the rich an advantage over the poor in attaining positions of leadership and responsbility.
Page 363: In 1888, the unskilled mill workers, mostly recent immigrants from Eastern Europe, earned 14 cents/hour, equivalent to $3/hour in today's money. [This compares to $5-11/hour for unskilled recent immigrants working in the U.S. today]
Carnegie wanted to be respected as a writer and tapered down his work responsibilities so that he would have more time to write. The less he needed to do, though, the less he was able to do.
Page 399: "It does not seem possible for me to get down to work," he wrote Champlin; "really I don't feel able to sit down and apply myself."
Page 662: "I think the Scotch a pretty smart people, but I must say I think the Jews are smarter. I think I'm a little afraid of them." [quoted by the New York Times]
Page 695: "The time is coming, much more rapidly than we dream when war will be a thing of the past." [1907, Carnegie aged 72]
Page 707: "Those who want to start on their own account without capital betray a lack of judgment that will prevent them from ever being successful men." [i.e., you'll impress more people by raising money and underperforming the S&P 500 than you will by using your own limited resources and achieving a return on investment of 200 percent]
Page 767: Carnegie leaves his wife with all of his real estate (worth $100 million today?) and the modern equivalent of at least $25 million in today's money in liquid assets. This was considered a minimal bequest.
Page 794: The richest man in the world, who had traveled everywhere and could have lived anywhere, chooses to spend the last years of his life at Shadowbrook, a 900-acre estate on Lake Mahkeenac, two miles west of Lenox, Massachusetts. Maybe a friend from Pittsfield was right when she observed that the Berkshires are the most beautiful place in the world.

You can go stay on the very same acres. (The building burned down, though.)
ColoZ says:
"In December 1868, Carnegie was 33 years old and had accumulated a fortune of $400,000, equivalent to $75 million today."
This accounting seems suspicious to me… I believe dollar inflation has been only a factor of 20-30 since the early 19th century. Perhaps you meant $4,000,000?
ColoZ: It is an accurate quote from the book, which goes on to say that his income in dividends at the time was $50,000/year (more than 10% if the $400k number is correct). I don't know if the book is accurate, though!
The conclusion I invariably draw from biographies like this are that successful people share one important characteristic with unsuccessful people: they are all different. Moreover, they are often self-inconsistent (see Carnegie above, extolling the virtues of leisure time on p. 203, and on p. 399, suffering from the lack of discipline that can come from too much of it). Their advice often comes down what they know, which is limited to their own experience. Those who rose from rags to riches will argue that this is only way to succeed. Those born into wealth will leave money to their children (except when, by self-inconsistency, they don't). The successful, just like the unsuccessful, are fickle and don't really know what is good. Success — that is, some combination of wealth and fame — follows from a combination of luck and hard work. Thus those who achieve success are drawn more or less randomly from the universe of humanity, and have just as much — or little — to teach us about life as that vast majority of the population which remains poor and unknown.
My name is Lola Halwem and I am contacting some experts in ethics for their opinions
If you have some time, I would greatly appreciate any response.
Are you familiar with WEALTH by ANDREW CARNEGIE?
If so, and if Carnegie was alive today what do you think he would say about whether or not it is ethical for companies to offer products that provide opportunities to download/copy music for free?

You may be tired of pranks. But here is one where being tired it literally the prank.
In this recent prank video uploaded by YouTube's RomanAtwood, we're shown the power of the yawn. It has long been debated whether or not yawns are contagious so one man decided to get an answer, and in the process, prank the world as well. The results seem to be pretty obvious, sans those two guys who had a big problem with Atwood's "drowsiness."

HOMELAND's Latest Season Four Trailer Paints an Intriguing Picture
Posted by Merrill Barr on August 18, 2014
With summer almost over, it's time for us to begin gearing up for the fall television season. With new shows like Gotham, Scorpion and Constantine on the horizon, it's easy to forget there's a slew of returning shows to look forward to, including Sleepy Hollow, Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead and, as today's new trailer will show, Homeland.
Last season took us to some insane places that saw sergeant turned sleeper agent Nicholas Brody finally meet his end in Iran during a public execution following his assassination of the Revolutionary Guard, General Danesh Akbari. Once his mission was complete, Carrie – pregnant with Brody's child – was promoted to the position of station chief in Instanbul while Saul "left" the CIA to work in the private sector.
Now that we got all that fun exposition out of the way, it seems the new season will pick up not too long after the end of the last one, and will follow Carrie as she navigates her new position within the CIA and being a new single mother. All of it sounds like the makings of a fresh start for the series that can go anywhere now that Brody is out of the picture. It will be interesting to see what kind of look the show takes on in the upcoming season.
Homeland premieres Sunday, October 5th on Showtime.
Are you looking forward to the new season of Homeland? Let us know in the comments below.

When you're the CEO, the lead developer, the accountant and the chief bottle washer, there are no sick days.
You obviously want to build a team that can carry you through if you need a few days off to recover, but even then, time spent sick in bed seems like time wasted. That's why part of being an entrepreneur is taking care of yourself—refusing to neglect your own physical well-being for the sake of your business.
We've broken down self-care into two main areas: what you eat and how you live. Each one contains a few tips to consider that will make taking care of yourself feel like less of an afterthought and more of a priority.
As I type, I'm reaching for a potato chip. But it's not your regular old bag of greasy Lays—it's a baked potato chip! Okay, okay, in reality, baked chips are no substitute for a true healthy snack like an apple, but they do have half the calories and fat of the fried variety.
If you have a propensity for snacking (and what entrepreneur doesn't?) buy the healthier version of the snack and keep it stocked up in your desk. When I know I have a giant bag of baked BBQ chips at my fingertips, I'm way less likely to head to the vending machine to drop $1 on the fried kind.
Now that we've got snacking out of the way, it's time to move on to the business owner's nightmare. Dun dun dun… mealtime.
I'm not going to give you some unrealistic flowchart for planning out the entire week's meals in a single day. Who can do this? Seriously, if you do, leave a us a comment and let us know how.
What I will tell you is what works for me, and that's making mealtime as ridiculously easy for myself and my family as possible. My diet is boring. I cook with simple, healthy ingredients and eat the same 10 or 20 meals over and over.
But you know what? They're nutritious, they taste good and they're not fast food. There's no faster way to tank your health than to rely on Mickey D's for your nutritional needs—and that's a fact. I try my best to take the hassle out of cooking so I have more energy left to focus on my growing business.
Pick one staple from each of the categories and you've essentially got yourself a meal. For example, broiled salmon + steamed asparagus over a bed of brown rice cooked in chicken broth. Or quinoa mixed with Greek yogurt, diced tomato and onion paired with a grilled chicken breast.
It's not quite Wolfgang Puck, but it'll feed your family and keep you fueled up for whatever comes your way.
This next category, how you live, comes down to two things: exercise and sleep. When combined with your diet, these three factors form the trifecta for staying healthy.
First comes exercise. Knock it out first thing in the morning. No questions, just do it.
Contrary to what the fitness magazines would have you believe, you don't have to be in the gym pumping iron or running miles each day to get the exercise your body needs. The Mayo Clinic says 30 minutes of moderate exercise—like a brisk walk—five days a week will do it.
When you think about it, for an entrepreneur a 30-minute walk is the perfect way to start the day. Use it to listen to a podcast or audiobook or meditate on your goals for the day ahead. If you need some podcast inspiration, Inc. has 15 great suggestions for business owners.
If your business is growing, you can make fitness a priority when seeking out a new space to fit your team. Ignite Spot's offices are located on the second floor of a gym, which makes it pretty hard to come up with an excuse not to fit in a workout.
Finally, we have sleep. It's the easiest factor of our health to neglect and the one we're most likely to cut corners on when time runs short. But here's the bottom line: you need your sleep.
You ready for this? Here's the laundry list of the benefits shut-eye brings (all backed by science): improved memory, more creativity, better mental performance, less stress, more physical stamina, a trim waistline, lower risk for depression and longer life. Whew.
Probably the biggest hurdle to a good night's sleep for entrepreneurs is shutting off. Peeking at your email at 11 p.m., anyone?
For the best chance of a restful night, put down your phone and laptop and turn off the TV at least an hour before you hit the sack. The blue light emitted from these devices causes your body's production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin to go haywire, which messes with your sleep schedule.
When you prioritize your diet, exercise and sleep routine, you'll steer clear of the urgent care clinic and be better equipped to handle the everyday challenges of running a profitable business.

Apple Event Invite Teases Colorful New iPhone 5S and 5C
By Lisa Eadicicco published 3 September 13
After months of rumor and speculation, Apple has officially sent out invitations for its Sept. 10 press event. The iPhone maker is expected to unveil its next generation iPhone 5S and cheaper plastic iPhone 5C during next week's media gathering.
Although the company doesn't specify the reason for the San Francisco event, Apple teases that the news "should brighten everyone's day." The invitation's background is littered with dots of various colors, which could potentially be a hidden reference to Apple's rumored iPhone 5C.
MORE: See all of our coverage of the iPhone 5S and 5C >>
Speculation and leaks that have accumulated over the past several months suggest that the purported low-cost iPhone will launch in various colors just like Apple's iPod line. At the same time, Apple's true successor to the iPhone 5, believed to be called the iPhone 5S, is rumored to become available in four different color options. While the iPhone 5C, which is allegedly dubbed 'C' for 'Color,' is expected to launch in bright colors such as blue and green among others, leaks have indicated that the iPhone 5S will be available in new Graphite and Champagne Gold colors.
In addition to fresh color options, the iPhone 5S is rumored to feature a new 12-megapixel camera, a biometric fingerprint scanner and an upgraded Apple A7 processor. The iPhone 5C, on the other hand, is expected to come with a plastic colored shell and nearly the same internals as the current generation iPhone 5. Some rumors have suggested that the iPhone 5C won't come with Siri, but we'll have to wait and see until the event.
According to reports, the new iPhones may hit store shelves as early as Sept. 20. We'll bring you all the details and our hands-on impressions of the new iPhones live on Sept. 10.

You are here: Home / Activity / How To Train A Senior Dog?
Most older dogs have mastered basic obedience. But that doesn't mean training is no longer important. Old age doesn't stop a dog from learning new tricks, and continued training is a big part of maintaining mental and physical health. There's also the fact that senior dogs aren't perfect, and training can help them get rid of problematic behaviors.
Whether you've loved your dog since they were a pup or recently adopted them from a shelter, here's what to know about training a senior dog.
Spend your first few days evaluating what level of training they're on. Test them by saying things like "sit" and "lay down" and observing how they react. Some older rescues go to new homes already knowing a lot, but for others, simple things like wearing a leash are brand new. Once you have an idea of what your dog already knows, you can move forward based on their previous experiences.
As dogs age, they start to slow down. Their joints become stiff and their hearts have to work a little harder to keep blood pumping. Many suffer from arthritis, obesity, and other health conditions related to old age. Physically demanding activities, like agility and dock jumping, are no longer safe for some seniors. Before you start a new training regimen, think about your dog's physical limitations.
Every dog is different, and it's a good idea to talk to your vet before moving forward with training. You never want to ask your dog to do something that puts their health at risk.
Old dogs don't have the stamina they used to. They get tired easily, and long training sessions can be too much for them. Depending on what you're doing, repeated actions—like rolling over 10 times in a row—can end up hurting them. If this happens, your dog will be reluctant to continue, and you'll both end up frustrated.
It's best to keep your training sessions short and sweet. Only go for a few minutes at a time and give your pooch plenty of down time in between. If you notice signs of them becoming physically or mentally tired, don't push them to keep going. You can pick up where you left off in a few hours or the next day.
The belief that old dogs can't learn new tricks has long-since been proven false. They are, however, at a slight disadvantage compared to puppies. Puppies go through developmental stages where their brains are specifically wired to take in new information. They're primed with a blank slate and have plenty of energy and enthusiasm. Older dogs are past that stage in their lives, and decreased cognitive function is a common side effect of old age. As long as they're generally healthy, however, they shouldn't have a problem learning new skills. They'll need your patience and commitment, but with the right strategy, they'll be happy to work with you on continued training.
It doesn't matter whether your dog is 12 weeks or 12 years old, training is an important part of their life. It keeps their mind working and their body moving, and it also offers an opportunity for man and man's best friend to spend quality time together. Training your senior dog isn't much different than training a puppy, but it's still important to consider their specific needs. Don't push them too hard and be patient while they learn new skills. If you do it right, it will be a positive experience for the both of you.

Plan and Zone for Access
The question of beach access is fundamentally related to land use and how a city or county goes about regulating a valuable, but limited, resource. Traditionally the regulation of land uses has been viewed as something best left to local cities to manage as they see fit. State and federal regulatory bodies, such as the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, may have regulations of their own that place limits on the full public use of the beach, but these are generally restricted to a few specific environmental considerations. The general enjoyment of the beach is something cities are free to regulate through local ordinances and regulatory tools, such as easements and buffer zones.
Not all types of public access can be measured equally, though. A working waterfront may not occupy as much land area as a public beach, but it will generally be associated with more high intensity land uses. Public beaches don't require as much city investment as boat slips or working waterfronts, but conflicts between public and private coastal interests over beach access can be a major headache for coastal municipalities. Cities can effectively resolve most of these issues through proper land-use planning and policymaking, which is pursued concurrent with the city's general vision or comprehensive plan. The ordinances and comprehensive plan the city puts in place must also be backed up with a sound, day-to-day planning process, with enforcement apparatuses in place to ensure that the beach access policies are being followed. The information here is intended to convey a few basic policy recommendations related to the issue of beach access and to troubleshoot issues that can occur when balancing the various public interests and needs related to shoreline management.
How can local governments plan for access?
Local governments can enact measures for beach access through comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances. Comprehensive plans are arguably the most important components of the land use planning process, a kind of policy blueprint cities can use to guide the decision making process over a 10- to 20-year time frame. It is during this planning process that communities can identify emerging issues and problems by evaluating various social and economic indicators, such as household and population size.
For coastal communities, this evaluation process may yield valuable information about the different types of waterfront uses. Once various activities have been quantified and measured, it becomes far easier to allocate land use categories in a zoning ordinance. Depending on a comprehensive plan's findings, a community may choose to focus more on recreational access to the waterfront versus more access for fishing businesses, such as marinas or seafood processing areas. Also, if the comprehensive plan identifies an area that is prime for additional density, the city may create an additional zoning designation to make way for a more compact form of coastal development.
Efficient beach management and access starts with a comprehensive plan that clearly identifies various demographic trends taking place in the city. It is then, and only then, that a city should start building up its zoning ordinance and determining the type of land classifications that need to be created to ensure that the beach is used in a sustainable and responsible manner.
As a local government official, how do I control public access?
Towns, the state, and the federal government can regulate in ways that address coastal access. Regulation may take the form of zoning, harbor management, or environmental regulation that protects coastal resources. Regulation is best used to limit the types of development that are either incompatible with access, or displace uses that have historically provided access. While creating and enforcing regulations is unique to the government, knowledge of the planning process will enable interested parties to lobby for effective regulations and plan for the future of their towns.
Governments have authority to use their regulatory power on behalf of the public, with restrictions. The legal doctrines involved include police power, the common law public trust doctrine, and the protection of private property provided by the "takings" clause of the U.S. Constitution. For a more in-depth description of legal authority, visit Common Law and Statutes.
What is zoning and how can it be used as an incentive for protecting access?
Zoning is a system of developing a city or county plan in which various geographic areas (zones) are restricted to certain uses and development, such as water-dependent use zoning. By preventing certain uses, zoning can ensure that some land remains open for access or for the possibility of being acquired for access. Also, zoning can help prevent residential uses from competing with marine uses. Exceptions to zoning restrictions can be negotiated in exchange for a public good, such as a public boat ramp or path to the shore.
Zoning and other land use regulations are most effective when a community is able to take a comprehensive approach to its access needs. For example, a shoreline access plan might be part of a larger water-dependent use-zoning scheme for a region.
What kinds of ordinances can be used to address access needs?
Ordinances can be used in many ways to address access needs. A city, for example, may choose to elaborate on the acceptable uses and nature of those uses on the public waterfront. In Gulf Shores, city ordinances help structure the beach experience by establishing curfew hours and by carefully guarding against activities that may interfere with public enjoyment of the beach, activities such as erecting large tents or shelters. In areas where private uses or single-family homes predominate, a city may regulate the size and scale of individual boat docks. By attaching regulations to the potential size and impact of a large home or subdivision, cities can ensure that public waterfront access remains undisrupted.
How can the state government plan for access?
Through the Coastal Zone Management Act, Alabama has adopted a state coastal program that qualifies the state to apply for § 309 CZMA grants. These grants can be used to enhance coastal access.
Through the coastal program, Alabama has also identified what activities qualify as "water-dependent" uses along the coast. Through this authority, Alabama can shape what type of industry is located along the coast and where development can occur. This management technique can assist the state in planning for coastal access.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this weekend's Hungarian Party conference wasn't that longtime leader Janos Kadar stepped down, or that Prime Minister Karoly Grosz replaced him. It was Imre Pozsgay's promotion to the Politburo.
Mr. Pozsgay makes other communist reformers, including Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, look conservative.
This philosophy leads Pozsgay to propose reforms unheard of elsewhere in the Soviet bloc. He wants to publish minutes of Central Committee debates, hold open elections to party posts, and limit terms in office of party leaders. Under Pozsgay's reforms, no one could dominate Hungary for three decades like Janos Kadar.
Outside the party, Pozsgay-style glasnost (openness) means sharing power with the opposition. Imagine Mr. Gorbachev participating in a meeting of the Press Club Glasnost in Moscow. Pozsgay shocked old-guard communists last fall by attending the inauguration of an opposition group called the Democratic Forum.
In the Monitor interview, he gave his blessing to new independent groups sprouting in Budapest. He said he would press for a law of free assembly, which would permit independent trade unions and end press censorship. He also called for a constitutional court which would guarantee human rights and a powerful, independent Parliament.
These proposals excite Hungary's intellectuals, inside and outside of the party. To them, Pozsgay is a symbol of hope unlike any other communist leader in Eastern Europe.
The implication is explosive: Hard-liners fear Pozsgay's leadership could let latent divisions within Hungarian society surface. Some Western diplomats even compare Pozsgay to doomed Czechoslovak communist reformer Alexander Dubcek, unleashing reforms which would tumble out of control and scare the Soviets.
When confronted with such criticisms, Pozsgay refuses to budge. He sees a backer in Gorbachev, and insists on taking advantage of the favorable reform breezes coming from Moscow.
The writer covers Eastern Europe from his base in Paris and recently returned from a trip to Hungary.

Invisible 'Kismet' iMessage exploit used to hack journalists' iPhones
Malcolm Owen | Dec 21, 2020
A group of 37 journalists has fallen prey to an iMessage vulnerability, one that has existed for a year, enabling bad actors supposedly working for governments to spy on the journalists' activities.
A report from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab claims to have uncovered an operation that took place during July and August of 2020, one conducted by government operatives. The campaign attacked 37 iPhones owned by journalists, producers, anchors, and executives at news-gathering organizations, with the main target being Al Jazeera.
The attacks used Pegasus spyware from NSO Group, specifically a vulnerability referred to as "Kismet." It is believed the vulnerability was an "invisible zero-click exploit in iMessage," and was a zero-day exploit against iOS 13.5.1 and possibly other releases.
Logs of compromised iPhones gathered by Citizen Lab indicate a number of NSO Group customers also used the same exploit between October and December 2019, suggesting it is one that wasn't detected or fixed for a considerable length of time.
The group were attacked by four Pegasus operators, including one known as "Monarchy" that was attributed to Saudi Arabia, while "Sneaky Kestrel" was thought to have performed attacks on behalf of the UAE.
It is likely that the operators were connected to the crown princes of the two countries, as a lawsuit from one Al Jazeera anchor blamed the pair for hacking her iPhone, and disseminating doctored photographs of the victim.
Once attacked, a target's iPhone would start to upload large amounts of data, sometimes totaling hundreds of megabytes, without the user's knowledge. It is thought the data that was being transferred included ambient audio recorded by the microphone, the content of encrypted phone calls, photographs taken by the camera, the device's location, and potentially any stored passwords or account credentials.
A statement from Apple seen by The Guardian calls the attacks "highly targeted by nation-states" against individuals. "We always urge customers to download the latest version of the software to protect themselves and their data," Apple added, though also advising it couldn't independently verify the analysis of Citizen Lab.
It seems that the attack vector doesn't work for iPhones updated to run iOS 14 or later, which may mean devices using the operating system are currently safe.

This is not the first time these countries have been caught cyberhacking. It's not ONLY Russia leading these efforts.
Cyberhacking along with its close cousin, disinformation, has become a new form of warfare and the U.S. needs to step up its response to it. A lot.
Democracy depends on the people knowing the truth -- and these cybercrimes are undermining that foundation.

It would be good to understand how this exploit works. Does "invisible zero-click exploit in iMessage" mean that the user never had to click on link to get infected? That is pretty scary especially for iPhones. I also think Apple needs to be more transparent with these exploits to really drive home that the updates are very important to install.

Apple... please no more revolving back doors.
We will just read a similar article next year. But it will be due to a different "vulnerability" that somehow acts just like back door.
It's not just our government that will "exploit" it.

doggone said:
By definition, zero-day exploits are ones that the platform owner knows nothing about. About the only honest statement Apple could make in regard to these types of exploits is: "We don't know what we don't know."
Keep in mind that there is a thriving market for zero-day exploits. These exploits are very highly sought after by both the "good guys" and the "bad guys." Who is considered a good-guy and who is considered a bad-guy is often subject to debate, whose side you're on, and can vary or flip based on any given situation. There are no simple answers.

Israeli police have reportedly used Pegasus spyware to surveil citizens in the country without any oversight, a claim that flies in the face of the NSO Group saying that its tools would not be used domestically.

Title: Why good thoughts block better ones: The mechanism of the pernicious Einstellung (set) effect.
Abstract: The Einstellung (set) effect occurs when the first idea that comes to mind, triggered by familiar features of a problem, prevents a better solution being found. It has been shown to affect both people facing novel problems and experts within their field of expertise. We show that it works by influencing mechanisms that determine what information is attended to. Having found one solution, expert chess players reported that they were looking for a better one. But their eye movements showed that they continued to look at features of the problem related to the solution they had already thought of. The mechanism which allows the first schema activated by familiar aspects of a problem to control the subsequent direction of attention may contribute to a wide range of biases both in everyday and expert thought - from confirmation bias in hypothesis testing to the tendency of scientists to ignore results that do not fit their favoured theories.
