This week's blog will showcase yet another wastewater reclamation opportunity—Mr. Luis Garcia's Ecofriendly Solutions®—demonstrating how, in Belize, Reclaim is…a business opportunity.
Our video highlights the opportunities and challenges involved in one entrepreneur's vision to reclaim nutrients and water from wastewater in the context of a rapidly developing coastal tourism setting. Take a look at this article from the Journal of Cleaner Production or this video to get a better idea of how tourism development is impacting the future of local water quality, wastewater management, and livelihoods on the Placencia Peninsula, Belize.
A centralized system (to be managed by a private-sector utility) has been proposed for the peninsula that seeks to pump wastewater from residences and businesses into facultative wastewater treatment lagoons to address the demands of increasing populations and tourism flows. However, many residents are looking into environmentally amenable, yet cost effective decentralized systems as alternatives. Some residents have adopted Mr. Garcia's Ecofriendly on-site treatment systems that productively reuse of water and nutrients from household wastewater.
While this video will briefly show the socio-economic, environmental, and technical implications of Mr. Garcia's systems reclaiming water and nutrients as a business, our greater objective is ongoing collaboration between anthropologists and environmental engineers working at the intersection between human, engineered, and environmental systems.
From a technical, cultural, and / or socio-economic perspective, give reasons why it is important to consider the different wastewater systems on the Placencia Peninsula, both those that are currently implemented and those that are suggested for the future.
How could this video be improved?
This is the blog for week 4 of the Spring 2015 "Reclaim Is…" seminar.
that are currently implemented and those that are suggested for the future.
Although a few participants noted issues with the clarity of the question, PIRE students generally highlighted the importance of considering multiple wastewater treatment technology options and the pros and cons of each system for a particular setting, considering factors like scale, social acceptance, economic costs, environmental impacts, technical specifications, and regulations. From a technical standpoint, PIRE students noted the importance of surveying existing sanitation infrastructure, access to such infrastructure, wastewater loads, and the efficiency and maintenance of wastewater treatment systems in a particular geographic setting before proposing new systems.
This discussion resonates with surveys conducted for a HALCROW feasibility study (2012) on the Placencia Peninsula to assess the suitability of a centralized wastewater system, especially with variable tourist flows on the peninsula between seasons. From a cultural standpoint, participants in the YouTube discussion noted the importance of surveying resident perceptions of wastewater, existing wastewater management, and the effectiveness and acceptability of existing systems to meet their needs in order to understand cultural barriers limiting adoption of more environmentally-friendly systems on the peninsula. Many participants also noted monetary costs as a factor in the selection of particular systems over others, and lack of awareness, information, and participation in / about proposed wastewater systems as significant issues influencing use and appropriateness of certain technologies over others. Furthermore, variable education about wastewater discharge and technology options among consumers and stakeholders on the peninsula, and why for example, they would want / need a household reuse garden were listed as reasons affecting adoption of particular systems. Several other participants discussed the environmental impacts and resilience of existing wastewater systems over those proposed for the future, particularly in light of punctuated tourism flows and concerns over the impact of tropical storms, hurricanes, and flooding on the low-lying peninsula. Finally, participants noted how the regulatory environment for management of the systems, including treatment standards, maintenance, and enforcement of environmental policy and regulations, structures decisions to use / adopt particular systems over others.
To increase public transparency, accountability, buy-in, and sustainability of particular wastewater technologies suggested for the future (like the integrated water and wastewater treatment system proposed for the peninsula), participants in the discussion suggested integrating a broad spectrum of stakeholders in decision-making processes about the systems as well as involving local residents in the maintenance and operational of the systems after they are implemented. Moreover, policies may be amended or proposed that encourage residents and businesses to use more eco-friendly wastewater systems like the ones proposed by EcoFriendly Solutions Limited through government subsidies for the increased costs for installation and maintenance of these systems.
Participants in this week's YouTube discussion (mostly PIRE affiliates) noted how entrepreneurs are reclaiming resources from human and mammal waste to produce valuable products and services tailored to local and global markets. At a larger, corporate level, a number of businesses (like Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies)reclaim nutrients from wastewater to create fertilizers for industrial and domestic agricultural and landscaping applications. At a smaller scale, food and swine waste are being converted into biogas through biodigesters, which enable local businesses (like family farms and restaurants) to generate their own electricity and/or fuel that can be sold back to energy utilities. Diversion, composting, and eco sanitation toilets are being used to reclaim productive nutrients for both household and commercial applications like productive gardens. In some cases, animal dung is even being converted into paper products marketed on a global scale. Some large-scale wastewater utilities – like in Singapore – are even converting wastewater into potable water for human consumption, highlighting advanced treatment processes and marketing the water as clean through educational campaigns and media.
Key challenges participants noted that limit the marketing and adoption of these "reclaimed" resource products, systems, and services included: negative perceptions of "reclaiming / reusing / recovering" resources from waste, lack of education and a need for end-user consultation, infrastructural and monetary costs of using the products, systems, and services, possible adverse health and social exposures for employees and entrepreneurs, and technical maintenance of reclaimed resource products and systems. To overcome these challenges, many entrepreneurs have undertaken educational campaigns and research on end-user perceptions of "reclaimed" resources, adapting their products and services in congruence with consumer demands, and seeking out ways to sustainably scale up marketing, distribution, maintenance, and access to their "reclaimed" products, systems, and services.
3.) How could this video be improved?
PIRE students and faculty generally thought the video was well done and liked the idea / theme of 'Reclaim as a business opportunity,' but noted several areas where the video could be improved. Suggested technical improvements for the video included: better video and audio quality (especially for the interviews), consistent image sizing, borders, and sound levels, and use of higher quality images and captions for pictures. Structurally, some participants suggested a need for a conclusion to wrap up the video and also to shorten the duration of the video to under 5 minutes. Although discussion participants generally remarked that the content was cleared conveyed, some were unsure whether the video was intended to be an advertisement for EcoFriendly Solutions Limited or a case study of wastewater systems on the Placencia Peninsula. For the next iteration of the video, some participants suggested simplifying the language to increase its accessibility to a broader audience, including interviews with residents who currently use the systems and interview(s) about opportunities to improve the systems, as well as footage of the Placencia Peninsula.

Late night public at a poetryreading during a boattrip on the river Musi in Palembang, Sumatra.
During the International Poetry Festival Indonesia in the summer of 2006 I wrote a protest poem against all the politically charged poetry of poets who seemed to be completely sure about the way the world is made. The poem is called 'Pleidoi untuk keraguan', in english 'A plea for doubt´.
The translation into Bahasa Indonesia was made by Linde Voûte.
Click here to read the complete poem.
For this festival Linde Voûte translated also some of my other poems.


Fresh Beauty does the best job in this area, I feel. They have a lot to offer with focus on hydrating and feeding the skin. So you have the Rose Deep Hydration Toner then you have my personal favorite the Black Tea Kambucha Essence, but you also have the Vitamin Nectar Antioxidant Glow Mist. I prefer a liquid and cotton pad as opposed to a mist most of the time, but I like using a mist in the mornings or through the day for a little refresher.
Next is the Luzern Essential Hydrating Tonic. I don't often get to talk about Luzern all that much but this is lovely. I wish I'd tried it sooner. It's made its way to my night stand which is basically my personal "favorites" station.
Indie Lee Co-Q10 toner (which is now available as a mist). This gets overlooked a lot and I don't know why, it's more than just hydrating and soothing it's, again, feeding the skin and adding in a little bit more than your average hydrating step.
Origins Mega Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Treatment Lotion. Again another term for this category "lotion". This is the most soothing product I own, I dare say. If you have angry skin or you've done something that was too harsh, this is going to be your best friend. It's a form of relief that isn't the standard "cooling" feel to it, it's actual relief from certain symptoms.
There's a few mists that I love which are REN Flash Defence Anti-Pollution Mist, OSEA Sea Vitamin Boost Mist, and OSEA Sea Minerals Mist. These are doing the most in regards to protecting your skin and also feeding the skin it's nutrients.
I really enjoy some of the liquid Exuviance "toning lotions" like the Soothing Toning Lotion and Probiotic Lysate Anti Pollution Essence but both of those have PHAs in them which is a gentle exfoliant that we're just now getting used to. I do feel like they're hydrating and soothing but as I'm trying to list the ones that are not exfoliating I'm not going to group them with these necessarily but they're an honorable mention for sure.
So I think I'm going to leave it here. I know there are a few essence type products that are Korean brands that aren't from Sephora or as popular. I learned about them from Stephanie Nicole so I'm going to link one of her videos where she talks about them because she will do it far better than me. There's also a popular mist that I do not have which is the Josh Rosebrook Hydration Accelerator (I believe) that again I learned about through both Stephanie Nicole but more so Caroline Hirons who has it in constant rotation and in empties. I see that Pixi has released a Rose Tonic in their Rose line and I hear it's amazing but since I don't have it then I don't want to speak on it. I'll try and find a video from Caroline where she discusses it.
This step has really been a fantastic addition to my routine. My goal now is more about hitting hard with deep hydration and preventative measure rather than "fixing" or "reversing" certain things. Dehydration is my first thing to "fix" for my skin because plump hydrated skin has the best glow and texture in my experience. I don't see myself getting away from this step just like I wouldn't step away from my Vitamin C. So that says something right there I think, from my own logic and how imperative I think Vitamin C is....I also think your hydration should be just as important as well.

"Spinning Around" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her seventh studio album, Light Years (2000). Written by Ira Shickman, Osborne Bingham, Kara DioGuardi, and Paula Abdul, "Spinning Around" was initially meant to be recorded by Abdul for her own album, but was given to Minogue after the plan never came to fruition. Produced by Mike Spencer, the disco-influenced dance-pop song was then released as the lead single from Light Years on 13 June 2000. Lyrically, the song addresses the theme of reinvention, with Minogue claiming that she has changed as a person and learned from the past.
Upon its release, "Spinning Around" received favourable reviews from music critics, who singled it out as one of the highlights from the album and praised Minogue for returning to her signature musical style. Commercially, the song was a success and became Minogue's "comeback" single following the critical and commercial disappointment of her sixth studio album Impossible Princess (1997). It entered the Australian Singles Chart at number one, becoming the singer's first chart-topper since "Confide in Me" (1994). The song also debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, where it became her first single to peak atop the chart since Tears on My Pillow in 1990. Elsewhere, it reached the top five in Ireland and New Zealand. "Spinning Around" was certified platinum and silver in Australia and the United Kingdom, respectively.

I wanna hold onto you
Every time that you're mine
But you run around in circles
While I try to walk the line
You wanna break all the rules
When we're apart
But you turn into a cop
When I try to steal your heart
Spinning spinning
So unsure always going back and forth
Over and over again and again
You let me think we're moving
But you shut me down instead
Over and over you play me like a fool
You got me spinning, spinning out of control
That's how you roll
Wanna know you'll be there
When tomorrow arrives
But you don't believe in day plans
And don't show up on time
I wanna dance next to you
Right where I belong
But the records always skipping
When I try to play our song
Oh ohhhhh oh oh you got me spinning
oh ohhhhh oh oh you got me spinning around
ohhhh ohhhh oh oh you got me spinning around
You got me spinning, spinning

Creating 'political economy of hope' at Pakistan-India border
by Cornell University
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain
Pakistani nationals of the Hindu faith migrate to India based on religion, caste, culture and history—and lately Indian government officials all the way up to the prime minister have been encouraging them to "return," according to Natasha Raheja, assistant professor of anthropology in the Cornell University College of Arts and Sciences (A&S).
But at the border, many hopeful migrants find that Indian citizenship is not assured.
"Pakistani Hindus may imagine their migration as an enactment of their 'right of return,' but they in fact experience an ambivalent welcome on arrival," Raheja wrote in "Governing by Proximity: State Performance and Migrant Citizenship on the India-Pakistan Border," published Sept. 8 in Cultural Anthropology.
While embedded among migrants in the western Indian city of Jodhpur, Raheja found that Indian officials use physical closeness and digital connection to entice would-be citizens while keeping them waiting for recognition and basic welfare.
For the past eight years, Raheja worked with migrants from Pakistan waiting for Indian citizenship, as part of her broader inquiry on how border crossings demand new ways of imagining our geopolitical nation-state order.
"I wanted to understand how migrants continue to pursue recognition in the face of repeated deferral," Raheja said. "During fieldwork, I noticed the enchantment and cynicism associated with the visits of national politicians to borderland regions. In this article, I make sense of these mixed affects of state performances through the concept of governing by proximity."
Proximity is a modality of governance that yields mixed results, Raheja said. When politicians get close to constituents, either physically or digitally, they manage expectations and offer assurances to constituents. But they also expose themselves to scrutiny, giving people the chance to see beyond the performance into imperfect government workings.
"Proximity is like a magnifying glass that amplifies both stature and shortcomings," Raheja said. "On one hand, when people in powerful positions are close to us, we can feel special and as if we personally belong. On the other hand, we can observe their shortcomings and inconsistencies."
In Jodhpur, a city with a high concentration of Pakistani migrants from different castes, Raheja met Meera, an Indigenous farmworker hoping to get Indian citizenship for herself and her husband, parents and 10 children at a two-day citizenship camp.
"For Meera, meeting with high-ranking officers and seeing digital clips of welcoming political speeches in the palm of her hand made Indian citizenship feel like a close possibility," Raheja wrote. "At the same time, she had relatives and acquaintances whose visa and citizenship applications had been delayed or rejected."
Elsewhere in the citizenship camp, a man named Pankajlal waited for an hour to apply based on the fact that his mother, with him in the line, had been born in "undivided India" before the 1947 partition, which created the separate nations of India and Pakistan. When they finally reached the desk, they were refused because the affidavit Pankajlal had acquired was not sufficient; instead, they needed a birth certificate.
"The burden always falls on the common people, the way weight always falls on the wheel of a cycle," Pankajlal said. "There [in Pakistan], they call us infidel Hindus; here [in India], bloody Pakistanis."
But a fellow applicant encouraged Pankajlal to speak up. Together they approached government representatives to complain about the criteria for birth certificates.
"Their exchange conveys how this site, centered on a performative avowal of their special status as desirable Indian citizens, also generated refugee-migrants' critiques of the Indian government," Raheja wrote. "A few hours later, a Ministry of Home Affairs official came on the loudspeaker to make a special announcement: He had decided that, in lieu of birth certificates, the officers at the camp would accept applications with affidavits attesting to a parent's birth in undivided India."
Raheja's wider research looks to migration to understand how majority-minority politics exceeds national frames. Her studies of the India-Pakistan border raise wider questions of state power over migration at borders worldwide.
"Across borders, manufactured national belongings and state legitimacies require maintenance," Raheja said. "As the article carefully details, governing by proximity enchants but also generates fatigue and doubt. It is in this gap that there is potential for migrants to refuse and imagine alternatives."

Keeping a log of daily events was normal for Bill Keegan, a former officer with the Port Authority Police Department. As he oversaw night recovery operations after the 9/11 attacks, it was ''natural for me,'' he said, to record what he and others observed.
An entry from his journal is part of ''The Diary: Three Centuries of Private Lives,'' an exhibition of journals and memoirs by historic figures, like Charlotte Bront?nd Einstein, and contemporary writers.
On Friday at 6:30 p.m., Mr. Keegan, author of ''Closure: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Recovery Mission'' (Touchstone) and founder of the assistance organization H.E.A.R.T. 9/11, will take part in a discussion on the importance of journal keeping. Mr. Keegan, above at ground zero in April 2002, said he thought little about his diary until he talked about it with someone he met while helping in Haiti after last year's earthquake; that person worked at the Morgan and thought Mr. Keegan's diary should be part of the exhibition, which runs through May 22 at 225 Madison Avenue, at 36th Street, (212) 685-0008. (Free tickets for the special discussion will be available all day Friday at the visitors' desk. Regular museum admissions and hours are available on the museum's Web site, themorgan.org.)
Mr. Keegan attended the opening of the ''Diary'' exhibition with his family, including his daughter, Rory, who was 10 months old on 9/11. He said she pointed to the diary and said, ''Hey, Dad, that's the book that was on your desk.'' ANNE MANCUSO

Amazon Seller Services' losses narrow to Rs 4,748.1 cr in 2020-21
Amazon Seller Services' losses narrow to Rs 4,748.1 cr in 2020-21
Amazon Seller Services had recorded a net loss of Rs 5,849.2 crore, while its revenue from operations stood at Rs 10,847.6 crore in FY20.
After the HC granted the stay, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre halted the arbitration proceedings, scheduled to be held from January 5 to 8.
Amazon Seller Services, the India online marketplace unit of e-commerce giant Amazon, saw its losses narrowing to Rs 4,748.1 crore for the financial year 2020-21 from the previous year, while its revenue from operations rose 49.3 per cent to Rs 16,200.3 crore, as per regulatory documents.
"The company has suffered a loss of Rs 47,481 (in millions) during the year. The company has posted the revenue from operations of Rs 162,003 (in millions) for the financial year ended March 31, 2021," according to Registrar of Companies filing shared by business intelligence firm Tofler.
According to the filing, Amazon Seller Services saw its total expenses rising from Rs 16,877.1 crore in FY20 to Rs 21,127 crore in FY21.
Employee benefits expense increased to Rs 1,819.8 crore (from Rs 1,382.9 crore), while finance cost rose to Rs 119.6 crore in FY21 (from Rs 108.2 crore in FY20).
Amazon, which competes with players like Walmart-backed Flipkart, is also locked in a legal battle with Future Group over the latter's Rs 24,713-crore asset sale deal with Reliance.
The regulatory filing noted that Amazon Seller Services has received Rs 4,360 crore in fund infusion during FY21 in three tranches.
Amazon Corporate Holdings Private Limited and Amazon.com.incs Limited were issued shares of Amazon Seller Services worth Rs 2,310 crore in June and Rs 1,125 crore in September 2020, and Rs 925 crore in December 2020, as per the document.
Also, the filing noted that the company has entered into a business transfer agreement with Amazon Wholesale (India) Private Ltd, a related party to the company, whereby the company has transferred its Amazon Devices Business including inventory, employees, related assets and liabilities and vendor/customer contracts related to its products to AWIPL effective from April 1, 2021.
This resulted in a decrease of assets amounting to Rs 2,69 crore and liabilities amounting to Rs 43.4 crore, it added.

Why copyright NPO web sites?
As a non profit why lock away your contributions to society with a threat to litigate?
All copyright does is allow you to sue someone if your work is used by someone else.
Non-profits should tag their work with a Creative Commons license that allows other to build on the work and add to the NPO community as a whole.
I strongly recommend removing copyright notices in favor of an attribution only license which allows other to build on your contributions to the community as long as they credit the author. Most NPO's want their work distributed in ways that help as many people as possible. All a copyright notice does is discourage sharing with the community as a whole.


Why Custom Cabinetry is a Good Idea - Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Blog - Cabinets, Countertops | KDI Kitchens, Inc.
When remodeling a kitchen, choosing the cabinets can be one of the harder decisions. Cabinetry plays a role in the overall look of the kitchen but also the functionality of the kitchen. While pre-fabricated cabinets may be a quicker and cheaper solution, custom cabinetry offers many perks to homeowners.
The durability of custom cabinets outshines that of stock cabinets. While prefabricated cabinets are manufactured on assembly lines, quality custom cabinets are crafted by hand. This attention to detail and top-notch construction produces cabinets that are both beautiful and built to last.
When choosing from prefabricated cabinets, you are limited to the wood type and finish that is in stock. Opting for custom cabinetry allows you to select the finest wood and the finish that complements the style of your home. Custom hardware will further customize the look of your new cabinets. Red oak, walnut, and maple are popular wood choices for custom cabinets; high-quality woods produce better quality cabinets.
When comparing prefabricated cabinets and custom cabinetry, the custom cabinetry may take longer to order and cost more, but your kitchen will be transformed by beautiful, functional, cabinets that will last generations.
Are you looking for quality custom cabinetry to make your kitchen more beautiful? Contact KDI Kitchens today for beautiful custom countertops and cabinetry.

Q: Windows how to use the right ctrl key as the left ctrl? I am wondering what should I do to let the windows system recognize the right ctrl as the left one, and the left ctrl as the right ctrl. I want to do this since my left little finger is really tired of pressing left ctrl.
I tried using an ergonomic keyboard but it does not help.
Thanks.

A: This question contains several methods which should allow you to achieve what you want:
https://superuser.com/questions/36920/how-can-i-remap-a-keyboard-key
That "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4" looks like it could work, and it is released by Microsoft, so you need not trust an additional vendor with your highly sensitive keyboard input. I wouldn't recommend using Autohotkey at least, it seems to be overkill. If that re-mapper does what it's name suggests, it should be the perfect solution.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22339
edit:
I am new here, but i think that superuser would generally be a better place to ask this question.

A: Have you heard of SharpKeys?
SharpKeys (ver. 3.5) is a very tiny Windows freeware that allows you to remap or even reassign computer keyboard keys in the couple of different ways we saw above. It does so by adding an entry to your computer's registry. SharpKeys runs on Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000.
To start mapping an old key to a new custom one,

*

*run SharpKeys and click on the Add  button. The key mapping dialog opens up giving you a long list of key positions to pick from.

*You can also click on Type Key and manually select the key you want
by pressing it on the keyboard.

*Next, click the Write to Registry button and a reboot for the changes
to take effect notification will come up. After the reboot, your keys
will stand remapped. You can go back to Edit  or Delete the mapping
altogether.

A letter from Mr. Gore to Mr. Lear dated Boston Aug. 24. was read, stating that the Roland,1 a privateer fitted out at Boston and furnished with a commission under the government of France, had sent a prize into that port, which being arrested by the Marshal of the district by process from a court of justice, was rescued from his possession by M. du Plaine Consul of France with an armed force from one of the ships of his nation. It is the opinion that the Attorney of the district be instructed to institute such prosecution as the laws will authorize against the said du Plaine; and to furnish to the government of the US. authentic evidence of the facts beforementioned, whereon if it shall appear that the rescue was made by the said Duplaine, or his order, it is the opinion that his Exequatur should be revoked.—Also that the Attorney of the district be desired to furnish copies of his applications or other correspondence with the Governor of Massachusets relative to the several privateers and prizes which have been the subjects of his letters to Mr. Lear.
A letter from Mr. Maury Consul of the US. at Liverpool dated July 4. 1793. was read, covering an inauthenticated copy of certain Additional instructions from the court of St. James's to the Commanders of their ships of war dated June 8. 1793. permitting them to stop the vessels of neutral nations laden with corn, flour or meal and bound to any port of France, and to send them into British ports, from whence they are not to be permitted to proceed to the port of any country not in Amity with Gr. Britain. Whereupon it is the opinion that Mr. Pinckney be provisionally instructed to make representations to the British ministry on the said instruction as contrary to the rights of neutral nations, and to urge2 a revocation of the same, and3 full indemnification to any individuals, citizens of these states, who may in the mean time suffer loss in consequence of the said instruction. Also that explanations be desired by Mr. Pinckney of the reasons of the distinction made in the 2d. article of the said instructions between the vessels of Denmark and Sweden and those of the US. attempting to enter blockaded ports.
Information having been also received thro' the public papers of a decree passed the National assembly of France revoking the principle of free ships making free goods and enemy ships enemy goods, and making it lawful to seize neutral vessels bound with provisions to any other country and to carry them into the ports of France, there to be landed and paid for, and also of another decree excepting the vessels of the US. from the operation of the preceding decrees, it is the opinion that Mr. Morris be provisionally instructed, in case the first mentioned decrees have passed and not the exceptions, to make representations thereon to the French government as contrary to the treaty existing between the two countries and the decree relative to provisions contrary also to the law of nations4 and to require a revocation thereof and full indemnification to any citizens of these states who may in the mean time have suffered loss therefrom, and also in case the said decrees and the exceptions were both passed that then a like indemnification be made for losses intervening between the dates of the said decrees and exceptions.
A Letter from the Governor of Georgia of the 13 instant covering the proceedings of a Council of War relatively to an expedition against certain towns of the Creek Nation was communicated for consideration.
It is the opinion that the Governor of Georgia be informed that the President disapproves the measure as unauthorised by law as contrary to the present state of affairs and to the instructions heretofore given and expects that it will not be proceeded in . . that requiring the previous consideration of Congress it will be submitted to them at their ensuing session, if circumstances shall not then render it unnecessary or improper:5 that the Governor of South Carolina be also informed that the cooperation desired of him by the Governor of Georgia is not to be afforded; and that the Agent for procuring supplies of provisions for the service of the United States in Georgia be instructed that no provisions are to be furnished on their account for the purpose of the said expedition.

The letter of Aug. 24. from Christopher Gore, the United States District Attorney in Massachusetts, to Tobias Lear, which Lear had submitted to the President the previous day, is in DNA: RG 59, MLR. See also Washington, Journal description begins Dorothy Twohig, ed., The Journal of the Proceedings of the President, 1793–1797, Charlottesville, 1981 description ends , 235. According to this account and other evidence Gore subsequently submitted to TJ, on 20 and 21 Aug. two prizes arrived in Boston that had been captured by the Roland, a French privateer recently fitted out there: the Greyhound, a schooner owned by the Nova Scotian merchants Alexander Brymer and Andrew Belcher; and the Flora, another Nova Scotian schooner. Soon after Deputy Marshal Samuel Bradford took possession of the Greyhound on the 21st in the course of serving a writ of replevin obtained by local friends and relatives of its owners, Vice-Consul Antoine Charbonnet Duplaine seized the schooner with an armed force from the Concorde, a French warship then in Boston harbor, and had it brought under the protection of the frigate's guns. By the time Gore wrote to Lear, Bradford had managed to regain possession of the Greyhound because of the Concorde's departure, but in the meantime an armed force from the Roland had prevented the service of a writ of replevin on the Flora and Duplaine was claiming exclusive admiralty jurisdiction over it (Gore to Lear, 24 Aug. 1793; TJ to Duplaine, 3 Oct. 1793, and enclosures; Boston Independent Chronicle: and the Universal Advertiser, 26 Aug. 1793; Helen R. Pinkney, Christopher Gore: Federalist of Massachusetts, 1758–1827 [Waltham, Mass., 1969], 53–4). See also TJ to Gore, 2 Sep. 1793.
The provisional instructions to Thomas Pinckney in accordance with the Cabinet's directions are in TJ's letter to him of 7 Sep. 1793. For the 9 and 23 May 1793 decrees of the National Assembly of France, see note to Gouverneur Morris to TJ, 20 May 1793. No provisional instructions were written to Morris on this subject, no doubt because of the receipt on 5 Sep. 1793 of his letter to TJ of 1 June 1793 and its enclosures.
Governor Edward Telfair's 13 Aug. 1793 letter to Secretary of War Knox and the enclosed proceedings of the council of war five days earlier with various state militia officers, which recommended an expedition against five hostile Creek towns by "At least two thousand horse, and three thousand foot," to be supplemented if necessary by Federal troops in Georgia and militia units from South Carolina, are in ASP description begins American State Papers: Documents, Legislative and Executive, of the Congress of the United States, Washington, D.C., Gales & Seaton, 1832–61, 38 vols. description ends , Indian Affairs, i, 370–1. Knox set forth the President's objections to the proposed expedition in a letter to Telfair of 5 Sep. 1793 (same, 365; see also Notes on Cabinet Meetings, 4 Sep. 1793). For the instructions heretofore given, see note to Cabinet Opinion on the Creek Indians and Georgia, 29 May 1793.

My horse, "Rivet," was recently featured on EquestrianCoach.com (http://equestriancoachblog.com/), a website created by Bernie Traurig, who famously reached the top of the sport in all 3 of the International Equestrian Olympic disciplines: Show Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing. His educational website opens the door to a wealth of knowledge provided by some of the best riders, coaches, and industry professionals in the world. It has a library of hundreds of instructional videos and continues to amass topics every month. The core instruction on the site follows the principles of the American Hunter/Jumper Forward Riding System and will benefit those in any jumping discipline at any level. Additionally, it provides information from Dressage, Eventing, and Western Reining Olympians and World Champions, as well as from top veterinarians, farriers, judges, course designers, sports psychologists, and other accomplished equestrian specialists. I am honored to be included on this wonderful website and want to thank Jennie Carleton for writing the article and Bernie Traurig for his dedication to the betterment of the sport worldwide.

There are great riders and great horses, but there's a certain magic that happens when just the right combination is paired together. Anna Jane White-Mullin and her Thoroughbred horse, "Rivet," are an excellent example of such a partnership. Their story is one of hard work, horsemanship, and the heart of a thoroughbred.
Anna & Rivet Riding Without Stirrups at Ox Ridge in 1971.
"We bought Rivet from the well-respected Hungarian horseman, Gabor Foltenyi, who was running a barn in Michigan at the time. He was working to develop trust between himself and Rivet, who had been physically abused by a young male rider. Gabor's stated philosophy was, 'You get more from a horse by winning his confidence and allowing him to enjoy the sport, and then keeping him, at all times, under gentle but complete control.' I watched Gabor quietly tack up the horse with flowing, gentle movements that made me realize he was trying to gain the horse's trust. Gabor was famous for his ability to develop a horse through flatwork, and this really showed when I tried out Rivet. He was a beautiful mover and the most supple horse I've ever ridden, so we were pleased to be able to buy him. We were told that he was suspicious of almost everything and had to be dealt with quietly to get the best from him; but it was still a surprise at the first horse show when my father went into the stall to feed him and Rivet sat down on his haunches in the corner, looking wide-eyed and panicked.
"Later that day, he had to be measured before we could compete in the junior division, and the steward said he measured as a Large Junior Hunter. I tacked him up and showed in my first hunter class at the Ox Ridge Horse Show and was lucky enough to win it. Afterwards, my coach, George Morris, said, 'How did this horse get measured as a large? He couldn't be a large!' So we had Rivet measured again, and he came up as a small. I was then faced with the decision of whether to keep my points for the win in the Large Jr. Division and show as a large for the rest of the year, or to forfeit those points and show in the Small Jr. Division thereafter. I decided to keep the points and continued to show him as a Large Jr. Hunter for the rest of my time with him. After he was sold to Bradley Caine at Winter Place Farm in Maryland, he was measured again and shown as a Small Junior Hunter thereafter.
Anna & Rivet, 1971 Maclay Finals' Presentation at the National Horse Show.
"Rivet turned out to be an interesting horse to show. He was easily spooked, so I had to longe him or give him a controlled gallop on the show grounds to work him down enough to score well in the early classes. He served as both my Equitation horse and Junior Hunter, and he usually came through for both.
Jennie is highly involved in the horse show community. As one of the founding members of the USHJA Wheeler Museum Committee, established to highlight and educate the membership and the public on the history of the Hunter/Jumper Sport, she has assisted in the formation and promotion of every exhibit. Having pursued an education in journalism, among other fields, Carleton has authored a number of articles and press releases for various equestrian publications and considers writing and horses her two greatest passions. Carleton also established and continues to manage several Facebook Groups dedicated to the history of the hunter/jumper sport and its preservation. This includes the USHJA Wheeler Museum Group, which was the brainchild of Carleton and her close friend and committee co-chair, Bill Rube. In 2015, Carleton began working for the National Horse Show as a social media coordinator, and she hopes to soon be assisting the USET Foundation as they prepare for the 2016 Olympic games.

Qari & Morimoto - Don't Buy That (EP)
Artist and roommates, Qari and Morimoto team for an EP, which is said to be "Made from scratch within the confines of our illustrious Logan Square home". These two deliver a four track project, where we hear Qari handling the vocal delivery, but no production credit just yet. Morimoto has production credit for Qari on pass songs so I'm going to assume that where his input lies. What we get are eerie, echo filled, slow moving songs. Stream below.


Working with Elise at Feed Your Craft has been such a joy. Not only because I love her products, as well as everything Brandi Kincaid designs, but because she is just a truly thoughtful person. I had mentioned a while back that I was mad at myself for not grabbing the View From Here kit before it sold out. A few weeks later, one magically appeared in my mailbox along with the sweetest note. Thank you, Elise! This spread is a mix of that kit (no longer available), and the Tough Stuff flat pack.
So, this pocket page layout is our week fourteen. Side note: how is it possible that despite having an obligation to create pocket page/Project Life spreads (which I love to do)...I am still nowhere near up-to-date on this album? Seriously. This was a themed week at school for Ava, as well as a prep week before heading out for spring break. Hence the scary overdose on self-tanner, where I accidentally changed my ethnicity.
Did you know the flat packs include 3x4 cards as well as die cuts and tags? I love them. The left, bottom card on the right side is from that pack and I've sprinkled other pieces throughout. I've done my typical journaling on vellum thing (don't look too close, there's a typo that I didn't see till after stapling it to the card).
Sorry this post is a bit brief. I'm wrapping up the month of July in a bit of a panic...we've got two birthdays (a 1st and a 5th!) and the first day of kindergarten in the same week. Fingers crossed. Have a great week!


We are delighted to announce that the exciting Australian soprano, Kate Ladner has joined our roster. Kate recently enjoyed great success singing the pivotal role of Lady Macbeth in the new Elijah Moshinsky production at the Buxton Festival conducted by Stephen Barlow.
"Ladner's Lady was clearly dominant but this was very much a partnership, both she and Gadd drew a strong relationship with the synergy between the two being quite remarkable in the first act in moments like the dagger scene. Ladner drew a remarkable portrait of the Lady, her body language never wavering whether she was singing or no.
This version of the opera has more coloratura elements in it (in the revised version Verdi introduced 'La luce langue' to replace an aria seen as too elaborate). Ladner made the coloratura telling, singing with a vibrant sense of character and drama…it was a very fearless performance. What Verdi wanted was not bel canto but character, and Ladner gave us this in spades.
Other favourite roles include: Juliette Romeo et Juliette (SOSA, West Australian Opera) Nanetta Falstaff (Garsington Opera), Manon Manon (English Touring Opera), Violetta La Traviata (OA, SOSA, ETO, Macedonia Opera), Marzelline in Fidelio (Opera Northern Ireland), Opera New Zealand (Zerlina – Don Giovanni), Aida (SOSA). Kate has performed der Waldvogel, Woglinde , Freia, Helmwige and Third Norn in two Wagner Ring Cycles produced in Australia, conducted by Jeffrey Tate and later with Asher Fisch.
As a regular performer with Opera Holland Park, London, Kate's roles include Violetta La Traviata, Contessa Le Nozze di Figaro and Magda in Puccini's La Rondine. For the Buxton Opera Festival, she has sung the principal soprano roles in Rimsky Korsakov's opera Kaschey theImmortal and Sibelius' Maiden in the Tower (the first staged versions in the UK of both operas), Desdemona in Rossini's Otello, the title role in Verdi's Giovanna D'Arco in a new production created by director Elijah Moshinsky .
Kate performs regularly on the concert platform in France, where she resides and throughout Europe . In 2016 , she performed Beethoven 9 Symphony in Auditorio Nacional de Música, Madrid. She has founded VOIX360, a vocal performance organisation producing concerts throughout the Ardèche, most recently mounting a production of Puccini's Tosca.
Kate enjoys returning to Australia, where she had huge success with her debut roles as Salome, Richard Strauss and Marguerite in Gounod's Faust for the State Opera of South Australia. In 2016 Kate received much critical acclaim for her debut performance as Floria Tosca in Puccini's Tosca. She has recently returned from China, where she sang la Contessa in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro with the Xi'an Symphony Orchestra. She recently completed a season of performances directed by Elijah Moshinsky, conducted by Stephen Barlow, as Lady Macbeth in Verdi's 1847 version of Macbeth for the Buxton Opera Festival.


My thirty-year career as a dancer and a choreographer has the typical wild arc of an independent artist.
Even as a bright eyed nine-year-old beginning dancer, I was more interested in live performance that transformed rather than just entertaining the audience. I was not inspired by the commercial dance world. I wanted to walk out of a performance changed forever, seeing the world in a new way. So – I had high standards for myself and for performance. I trained in many traditional techniques, including ballet, but none of them led me to that place that I had seen on stage.
I had a wonderful career performing regularly with various choreographers in theaters small and large here in NYC, and toured the U.S. with choreographer Ann Carlson, before turning to my own choreography and touring in Europe and across America for another ten years or so.
Over time, I have suffered from the following maladies and injuries: anorexia depression and low self-esteem, sprained ankles and knees, tendinitis in wrists, hands, and my elbows, a ganglion cyst was removed from one of my wrists, bursitis in my shoulder, and the loss of cartilage in one of my hip joints.
I was very lucky to encounter the Alexander Technique in a repertory class with Eva Karczag at Sarah Lawrence College. I found amazing and instant relief from pain, and a space in my body, mind, and heart, that I had not even known was missing.
Since that time, the Alexander Technique is the one practice that I have maintained throughout my career, the one that has provided the most support and clarity to my work, and the only one I have dedicated myself to teaching.
I've healed and learned from each one of those injuries. Each one was a blessing in disguise. Because of the Alexander Technique, I found out I did not have to be so miserable, and since I was willing to do the work, I might work well and in harmony with my actually physical structure, and my deepest wishes and desires, instead of trying to fit into a mold that was not serving me. The revelation was that once I became willing to let go of what was not working, I found that I could discover and use many different "techniques" that I had previously rejected because each one had a truth and a purpose.
It was me that had been distorting my body. My work since then has become a very subtle and continually shifting process of finding the deeper truth in each movement style and technique. And to be honest, if the essence of the technique does not respect the design of the human body, I choose the body over the technique.
Not one of the injuries I sustained has been career threatening, but each one forced me to become aware of and change habits of thinking and being that were literally destroying me. The fact that I had a part to play in my own injuries was overwhelming at first, but I came to see that self-responsibility is the essence of "technique" and the daily practice that any artist must develop.
It seemed so crazy that something I thought should be hard (dance "technique") could be so easy. If I had only wanted freedom from physical pain – which is awesome, don't get me wrong! – I'd have stopped studying after the injuries healed. However, I wanted more!
The Alexander Technique helped me gain a more accurate body image, a more balanced sense of life and work, and a more energized dynamic way of using my very loose and flexible body without strain. Practicing the technique in my dancing led me to realize that I was not interested in empty virtuosity. I found a way to claim my place as a performer and choreographer of presence, transformation, independence and distinction.
CLARE MAXWELL A teaching artist, she maintains a private Alexander Technique practice in New York City and is on the Physical Inquiry and Somatic Practices faculty at Movement Research. Ms. Maxwell danced with choreographers Ann Carlson, Amy Sue Rosen, John Jasperse, and many others, as well as making her own dance works since the late 1980's. Ms. Maxwell's mission is to help working artists train and do what they love without burning out and hurting themselves, to dance and move with ease, power, and freedom. She is engaged in an ongoing investigation of the Dart Procedures, an Alexander based form of developmental movement.

[Archive] Voucher scheme for tertiary education
LEGCO QUESTION No. 19(WRITTEN REPLY)
Date of Meeting: 14 June 2000
Asked by : The Hon Emily LAU
Replied by : SEM
Under the educational voucher system, prospective tertiary students may freely choose the university to attend, and universities are required to collect educational vouchers from their respective students who have been issued with such vouchers by the relevant authority and exchange them for government subsidies, instead of being subsidized through direct funding. Regarding the feasibility of adopting such a system in Hong Kong, will the Executive Authorities inform this Council:
whether they are considering adopting such a system;
whether any study has been or is being conducted on the adoption of such a system in Hong Kong; if so, of the relevant details; and
(c) whether and when they will conduct the relevant public consultation?
(a), (b) and (c)
The Administration collects information on international practices in the higher education sector from time to time. In this context, we note that the education voucher system is implemented in a small number of places (e.g. some states of the USA and Chile) and that there have been mixed comments on the merits of such system.

Trade Groups Warn that U.S./Europe Data Transfer Rift, Triggered by U.S. Spying, Could Have Dire Economic Impact
(graphic: Getty)
By Julia Fioretti and Dustin Volz
BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The two largest American and European trade groups have warned of "enormous" consequences for thousands of businesses and millions of users if Brussels and Washington fail to wrap up talks on a data transfer pact by the end of the month.
The United States and Washington accelerated negotiations on a new framework enabling firms to easily transfer personal data across the Atlantic after the previous one was struck down by a top EU court last year on concerns about U.S. snooping.
Under European Union data protection law, companies cannot transfer EU citizens' personal data to countries outside the bloc deemed to have insufficient privacy safeguards, of which the United States is one.
Since the EU's highest court ruled on Oct. 6 that the 15-year-old Safe Harbour framework, used by over 4,000 firms to transfer Europeans' data to the United States, did not adequately protect the data because U.S. national security requirements trumped privacy safeguards, firms on both sides of the Atlantic have been in legal limbo.
In a letter, seen by Reuters, to U.S. President Barack Obama, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and the 28 European heads of state, four business associations warned of the dire economic impact if data flows between the two blocs were disrupted.
"This issue must be resolved immediately or the consequences could be enormous for the thousands of businesses and millions of users impacted," the letter from U.S. Chamber of Commerce, BusinessEurope, DigitalEurope and the Information Technology Industry Council says.
The groups also ask for a transition period to comply with any revised data transfer framework, especially for those small and medium-sized businesses that relied entirely on Safe Harbour.
IMPENDING DEADLINE
European Union data protection authorities gave Brussels and Washington until the end of January to forge a new pact and businesses the same deadline to set up alternative legal channels to transfer personal data across the Atlantic, such as binding corporate rules within multinationals or model clauses.
While a political agreement may be possible in that time, ironing out the legal details will take longer, according to a person familiar with the talks.
However the business groups warn that all data transfer mechanisms are in jeopardy as a result of the EU ruling, something echoed by lawyers, and that could impact nearly all financial transactions between the two largest economies in the world.
"We therefore urge your leadership to ensure a durable legal framework for transatlantic data flows in the future," the letter says.
EU privacy regulators are due to meet on Feb. 2 to decide if they should start taking enforcement action against companies if they come to the conclusion that all transfer mechanisms fall foul of EU law and there is no new framework in place.
Revelations two years ago of mass U.S. surveillance programs where American authorities collected private information directly from big tech firms like Apple, Facebook and Google riled Europe and set the stage for the European Court of Justice ruling.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 India Team Announced 15-Man Squad
Vivek Kumar
BCCI today announced the 15-man squad for Indian team. Here is the Indian squad for the World Cup 2019, slated to be played in England from May, 30.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) panel of selectors on Monday announced the 15-member squad for the ICC World Cup to be led by Virat Kohli. Dinesh Karthik has been included in the squad as the back-up wicket-keeper in place of the widely tipped Rishabh Pant. While Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar is also in the mix.
As expected, former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is a part of the England-bound squad. With the number four spot sparking most debates on its contention, it is KL Rahul who will be taking the place. Despite having impressed in his recent international outings, 21-year-old Rishabh Pant has been dropped in favour of the experienced Dinesh Karthik.
India, the 1983 and 2011 world champions will kick start their campaign on 5 June against South Africa at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton. The much-anticipated match against arch-rivals Pakistan will be at Old Trafford in Manchester on 16 June. While Australia will commence their campaign against Afghanistan in a day/night match in Bristol.
The Indian squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be announced on Monday. The national selectors will meet in Mumbai to pick the squad for the upcoming showpiece event.
"The All-India Senior Selection Committee will meet in Mumbai on Monday, 15 April, 2019. The committee will pick the Indian Cricket Team for the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 to be played from 30 May to 14 July 2019 in England & Wales," BCCI said in its media release.
Indian team for ICC World Cup 2019
India's 15-member World Cup Squad:
Virat Kohli (Captain)
Rohit Sharma (Vice Captain)
KL Rahul
Kedar Jadhav
Dinesh Karthik
Kuldeep Yadav
Jasprit Bumrah
Mohd Shami
Today ICC Puts an End to the months of speculation and guesses, the selection committee of 05 members headed by MSK Prasad today on 15th April Declared the national 15 Member squad of India for the upcoming World Cup to be held in Foreign soil England, starting 30 May.
While skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, M.S. Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah selected as expected on the back of some most consistent performances in recent matches, there were three main areas of concern that the selectors always needed to take a decision on.
Dinesh Karthik(DK) got selected over young boy Rishabh Pant in the competition to become the second optional wicket-keeper in the Indian Cricket team. Vijay Shankar being a lucky man got the opportunity to play in the team 4 number batsman and Ravindra Jadeja is picked as the third spinner ahead of a fourth pacer. KL Rahul joins in as the back-up opener
The management and selectors Indian team have often spoken a lot about continuity and consistency and that is exactly what they have done with regards to the team for the 2019 cricket World Cup. Having tried Vijay Shankar at the top of the preference, they backed him in the 15 member squad. The fact that Shankar continued to bat at position three or four in this season of the IPL for the Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) was another clue that the team management had asked him to settled down to the idea of batting at the top.
The much-debated and argued number four slot, whether Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik Would be choosen as the second wicket-keeper behind MS Dhoni and finally, if the team pick a fourth pacer or an additional third spinner considering that the wickets will be on the slower side at this time of the year in England.
In the bowling side too, it was a clear case of supporting an in-form ravidra Jadeja because not only has he performed good for (CSK)Chennai Super Kings, but also, Ground Condition predictions are expected to be on the slower side in during the showpiece event.
