In this dissertation I argue that, in the field of conservation, the boundary separating science from advocacy appears to be undergoing a shift as the number of research scientists at conservation advocacy organizations grows. Drawing on data from interviews with scientists at a prominent conservation non-governmental organization (NGO), I identify and analyze the kinds of rhetorical work NGO scientists engage in as they attempt to participate effectively in the forums of both science and advocacy. I also analyze the publications of one scientist at the same organization to identify features of the discourse of NGO conservation science that suggest a shift---or at least a blurring---of the boundary between science and advocacy in conservation. My discourse analysis focuses on publications from forums of scholarship and advocacy including, as a representation of discourse in the latter forum, an example of gray literature. Gray literature refers to reports, books, and other texts produced and distributed outside the channels of the academic and publishing industry. The study highlights the types of "boundary work" NGO scientists are engaged in to establish their membership in the scientific community as well as specific features typical of their rhetoric that result from their occupying a "hybridized" cultural and professional space where science and advocacy overlap.

Court approves Titan's purchase of Denman machinery
QUINCY, Ill. (July 20, 2010)—Titan Tire Corp., a subsidiary of Titan International Inc., won approval July 15 from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District in Ohio to purchase bankrupt Denman Tire Corp.'s machinery, equipment and other inventory items for $3 million. The purchase did not include any land or buildings.
The final purchase price is more than double Titan's original offer of $1.47 million on June 10 that trumped a $1.2 million offer from Soberay & Sons Inc., a Cleveland-based rubber machinery broker, which had been designated the "stalking horse" bidder by the bankruptcy trustee.
After Soberay indicated interest in countering Titan's offer, the bankruptcy trustee held an auction in which Titan submitted the winning bid of $3 million.
Titan indicated it would be able to use the equipment to produce some of the Denman tire types Titan plans to make with the assets it acquired already. In June, Titan purchased the Denman Tire name, tire specifications, patents, molds, various bladder tooling, customer lists and other items, for $4.4 million.
Denman Tire ceased operations at its specialty tire manufacturing plant in Leavittsburg, Ohio, and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last March.
"Closing should take place within a week. Titan then plans to move the machinery and equipment," said Titan Chairman and CEO Maurice Taylor Jr. "I believe it was a great purchase for Titan, and the machinery and equipment will complement Titan's product line."
Titan International owns subsidiaries that supply wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway equipment used in agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer applications.

Quentin Tarantino Will Direct a TV Series Next Year
Matt Singer Published: November 17, 2022
Quentin Tarantino keeps branching out into new territory. Since the release of his most recent movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he's written his first novel (another version of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and now his first book of film criticism (Cinema Speculation). Next up could be his biggest dive into the world of television yet.
At a public talk promoting Cinema Speculation in New York City, Tarantino revealed he is hoping to make a television series in 2023. Per Variety, Tarantino "wasn't forthright with narrative or production details around the project" but did say it would be an eight-episode mini-series.
Although this would be Tarantino's biggest TV project to date, it wouldn't be his first time working in television. He previously directed episodes of ER and CSI, and a few years ago, he expanded his movie The Hateful Eight into a four-part miniseries for Netflix.
5. The Hateful Eight (2015)
The Weinstein Company
For decades, Tarantino has claimed he doesn't want to be a film director forever, and often claimed he would only direct ten features before he retired. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was his ninth movie (he counts the two Kill Bills as one project). So if he sticks to his word, he's only got one more movie in him. Maybe doing some television could be a way to circumvent his own self-imposed retirement rule for a little while.
One assumes there would be no shortage of TV channels and streaming services that would pay handsomely for a Tarantino TV show. Long before The Hateful Eight miniseries versions, Tarantino's movies have been episodic and expansive; he seems tailor-made to work in television. So this could potentially be exciting news.
Tarantino's book, Cinema Speculation, is on sale now.

Lagos Fishermen Embrace Tourism To Boost Revenue As Climate Change Leaves 'Fishless' Waters Across City
In order to keep exploiting the waters for fish despite the challenges, some fishermen have turned to revenue from tourism in their community to introduce non-native species such as Bayard, African Arowana, and Grunts, which now dominate the marine wildlife in the Lagoon.
by Senami Kojah May 03, 2020
The collision of paddle and sand in the middle of the rainy season and the receding water stain on wooden stilts attests to the impact of climate change on Makoko, a floating village sitting at the foot of the Lagos Lagoon inhabited by a fishing tribe of more than 100,000 people.
Young boy makes his way through the now shallow water in Makoko.
Locals say some naturally occurring fish species such as the lesser African threadfin (Galeoides decadactylus), the Senegal jack (Caranx senegallus), the West African Ladyfish (Elops lacerta) and Blue Mussels, which sold for higher prices in the market, started to disappear putting a strain on their sole source of livelihoods.
Native occurring marine wildlife such as the Senegal jack are becoming rarer to find.
"The catch used to be enormous in the past, we use to catch all the different types of fishes then we stopped seeing Titus fish (Mackerel), Sharks that wander from the ocean seasonally, Silver Catfish and others," said Segun Azankpo, a popular fisherman in the area.
Fisherman Segun Azankpo casts his net into the Lagos Lagoon.
His meagre catches are now supplemented by money he makes from lending his canoe to tourists.
A study by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations in 2007 discovered that apart from climate change, overfishing by industrial fleets in Nigerian coastal areas such as Lagos was leading to a decline in quantity and quality of catch while also causing "environmental degradation seriously impeding the productivity of the artisanal sector and declining efficiency due to lack of technical innovation".
Local fisherman Segun Azankpo and his family sort White Bait inside his canoe.
Fascinated by the allure of murky intricate waterways woven in-between makeshift wooden stilts that pale in comparison to other floating cities like Venice, foreign and local tourists seeking new adventures, YouTubers and celebrities looking to create unexplored content for their audience, are trooping into Makoko in droves, thereby providing revenue, which local fishermen in turn use to grow their fish farms.
In February 2020, World Heavyweight Champion, Anthony Joshua, visited Makoko floating slum to celebrate his victory with locals.
John Awume, a middle-aged man, who used to fish actively but now paddles tourists around while serving also as a tour guide, said he decided to pause fishing to enable him to save money to create his own fish farm with new species that yield faster and are not within the reach of foreign boats.
"I used to fish actively in the past but the yields became low and my boat developed technical problems so I became broke, my specialty used to be big fishes.
"When tourists come, they pay, even though it is not a lot but I am saving it to start my own fish farm because it is working for others around me," he said.
The introduction of new and exotic fish species in waters where there is obvious native decline is controversial because of concerns around the conservation of freshwater biodiversity. For example, research in North-Eastern Italy shows how temporal variation in fish assemblages was analyzed over an 18-year period in 14 waterways of the lowland backwaters of the Po River, 14 native and eight exotic species were collected. In less than 20 years, 10 native species underwent local extinction.
In Zimbabwe's Lake Victoria, the predatory Nile perch, Lates niloticus, and the herbivorous Tilapiines, Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis leucostictus, Tilapia zillii and Tilapia rendalii, was introduced in the 1960s due to a decline in native species. While the lake flourished and fishermen thrived through the economic opportunities it created, the lake underwent ecological changes which led to the disappearance of native species.
In Lagos, marine conservation expert, Damilola Ewuro, is calling for the regulation of artisanal fishermen on the lagoon, who are introducing non-native species as a way of protecting the natural habitat.
Locals lounging and weaving nets on the Lagoon.
"In a place like Nigeria where employment is hard to come by, you have to give the fishermen kudos for their innovation in converting the tourism their community is attracting to a means of keeping the skills their forebears handed to them alive. However, there has to be massive regulation of the process.
"This regulation must come with education so as to earn the trust and cooperation of the fish farmers/fishermen who should be at the frontline of protecting the biodiversity of Lagoon," Ewuro said.
White Bait is a common find in the Lagoon.
For now, locals like Teju Azankpo, who is a fishmonger along with the rest of her family, are enjoying the boom the new method of fish farming has brought.
Teju's mother, Mrs Azankpo processes the fish for sale.
Processing many large bowls of varying fish, she says she has lost count of the specific types of fish she processes every day.
"The men bring them in, plenty. We don't ask for the names, we just clean and process. We went to school from the proceeds of the fish so I'm happy to do the work," she said.

Another tour boat owner, Moses Stephen said, "We used to make money from making nets and selling to augment the income from the catch we used to make before people started fish farming.
Moses Stephen (Bobo) is a fisherman turn tour guide in Makoko.
"Now, we rely on the N10,000, N7,000, or N20,000 from people coming to take photos of our slum to fill that gap.
"The water where the houses are is dry and it smells. There is always dirt and pollution so no fish survives here so to start the farm, you have to move further down the Lagoon," he said.
Farm escapees and invasive, genetic pollution, disease, parasite transfer, and habitat modification are all major concerns around the practice which calls for more studies and monitoring.
The shift from fishing native occurring species, which are fast disappearing may mean a resurgence for undisturbed biodiversity in the Lagoon. For now, residents in the floating community are happy that they can host tourists and fish in abundance again.

Saturn and Rahu are together in Libra, this arrangement in a chart shows one is cursed by their ancestors. But what does that mean for you? It means you can remove ancestor curses that go back many generations from your family tree. The summer months should be fine but the critical month is September, when the exact conjunction takes place and the tension will be at it's peak. The close conjunction of Rahu and Saturn will take place during the month of Navaratri, this is a remedy by itself. Also the aspect of Jupiter is still considered a benefic for this combination and will reduce negative outcomes.
Rahu in an Airy sign (Libra) and receiving the aspect of Mars is always a threat. The World Trade Centre was destroyed on 9/11, when Rahu was in the Air sign, Gemini and receiving the aspect of MARS and Jupiter was along with Rahu at that time. This year Jupiter is in Gemini and Rahu in Libra both in the same direction and in airy sign and Rahu receives the aspect of Mars. This shows more possibility for terrorist activity. Also air accidents or even war could break between nations.
This is all due to debilitated Mars 4th house aspect onto Saturn and Rahu in Libra. Plus Mars is exactly in the centre of Rahu Ketu axis. This causes Mars to have a more of malefic influence to male partners. A simple remedy is for women to give gifts to their brothers, as this will reduce the Mars affliction.
In conclusion, the exact conjunction day, September 25th, 2013 IST falls on a Wednesday when Mercury transits into Libra, which increases the possibility for earthquakes to be triggered. People in politics and leaders in general need to take more care during this period. Women, stock market and commodity traders should also be cautious.
The last time both Saturn and Rahu were in Libra was 1864-1865 about 150 years ago. While the United States did abolish slavery, it took a Civil War and the loss of President Abraham Lincoln. The Great Injustice of Slavery was destroyed and freedom brought for many.

Home Food and Beverage Nigeria: Coca-Cola finalises the acquisition of Chi in private equity deal
Nigeria: Coca-Cola finalises the acquisition of Chi in private equity deal
The Coca-Cola Company, Nigeria, has fully acquired Chi Limited in a private equity deal.
The President, Coca-Cola West Africa, Peter Njonjo, while speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, described the acquisition as a testament to the company's commitment to being a total beverage company to meet the changing tastes and needs of consumers.
He said the acquisition was spurred by a shift in the taste of consumers.
He noted that a majority of the customers of Coca-Cola were of the lower income cadre, adding that Chi, on its part, was relevant to the Nigerian market, especially in terms of low prices.
According to Njonjo, Coco-Cola acquired 60 per cent stake in Chi on January 30, 2019, in addition to the 40 per cent earlier acquired on January 29, 2016.
This brings the total percentage ownership of Chi Limited by Coca-Cola to 100 per cent.
Njonjo, however, noted that Chi Limited would continue operations as an independent company, while its products would be distributed internationally.
Njonjo said, "Our objective is to grow both the Chi and Hollandia units to a global multi-billion dollar brand.
"This acquisition is a testament to how we will achieve our objectives and it is also a celebration of entrepreneurship.
"We will not collapse the Chi brand or any of its products. Doing that will only make the company lose the attractiveness that it had before the acquisition.
"Rather, we will continue to grow both brands and employees in order to grow our customer base and strengthen our market share."
He said the acquisition would enable the company to expand its products and serve customers a wider range of beverages and snacks.
"This acquisition will serve as a motivation to entrepreneurs in Africa," Njonjo added.

People who are from the sunny tropical climates always have a well colored skin as a result of the natural tan that happens when they are not aware. However, people who are from regions that receive minimal or no sunshine in most parts of the year have problems getting that golden skin appearance. Fortunately, there are some products that can assist you in getting tanned without having to risk exposing your skin to the harmful sun rays. Keep reading for more information on choosing the correct tanning lotion for you.
Self tanning lotion that has moisturizing component is among the lotions available. This lotion can replace your regular lotion since it is applied normally on your skin. For maximum results, you will be required to use it on regular basis. A natural looking tan is achieved after you apply the lotion. Manufacturers recommend that you use the lotion at least after you shower. The main tanning ingredient is the dihydroxyacetone abbreviated as DHA. This component has a strong chemical odor. However, this smell is suppressed when the chemical is used in the tanning lotion. This means that your skin will have a faint chemical smell that cannot count for that much. In case you stop using the lotion, the smell will disappear completely from your skin in duration of about a week. Tanning effect will disappear in 3-4 days.
Purchasing tanning products that act like daily moisturizing products is another good alternative. You are capable of achieving two things with the help of one bottle. These lotions have soy as one of their ingredients. Besides, they have a weak coloring agent that assists you in achieving smooth texture and a dark complexion. As you continue using this lotion, your skin will gets a dark color that is tantamount to the appearance of the tan. Other than the tanning effect, the lotions do assist in retention of moisture in your skin. The lotion is easily absorbed into the skin when rubbed in circular motion. An advantage with daily moisturizers is their colorlessness which ensures that there are no residues left on your clothing or beddings.
You can also opt to purchase a self tanner that has sunscreen. This lotion is popular in the market as it accomplishes two achievements at a go. These include bringing a tanning effect and acting as a sunscreen. Other advantages attributed to use of this lotion include giving a tan that appears natural, is easily applicable on the skin, allows the pores to remain open, have no greasy effect, have a good smell and is quickly absorbed into your skin. The sunscreen tan lotions are also fast effective. It only takes a short time for the result to be visible.
Lastly, self tanner lotion is another worth kind off sunless tanner. The tanner has modification that suppresses bad smell that emanates from component DHA. Other features of sunless tanners can be found in this lotion: fast absorption, non-greasiness, skin smoothening and fast response to the body.
When using these lotions, remember to exfoliate your skin before using to enhance them to perform better.

Round Two – New Banners On Market Street In Warsaw
InkFreeNews.com Posted Jul 04, 2021 Updated: Jul 4, 2021 @ 6:48 AM
The second cycle of banners were hung in time for Memorial Day 2021.

WARSAW — The Warsaw Salutes You Military Banner Recognition Program was initiated by Warsaw Community High School grad and former Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy member, Elizabeth Stone, as a way to honor and recognize active and former military service men and women in the community.
Stone was inspired by her older brother, Nate, a former KYLA member and WCHS grad, who is currently serving as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.
The Warsaw Salutes You Banner Recognition project was Stone's 2020 KYLA Service project; unfortunately, the KYLA program was postponed due to COVID.
Stone was determined to finish the project and ensure the service men and women were honored.
The first banners were displayed on Veterans Day 2020.
"There was such overwhelming support and interest that she continued the project with the help and support of my mentor, Navy mom Miechi Petro," Stone said. "The beautiful artwork was created by Tara Haack and designed and printed with the help of Graycraft Printing of Warsaw and with cooperation of the mayor's office and Warsaw Street Department. Truly a Warsaw hometown team effort."
"Banner applications were submitted by families of service men and women and represent all branches, ranks and eras. Many touching stories of service and heroism were shared in the process, including Purple Heart and Medal of Honor recipient, Vietnam veteran, 2nd LT Michael O'Connell, whose banner was anonymously sponsored by a generous military veteran who sent a check and letter expressing her desire to honor a veteran," Stone said.
The 20 new banners hung for Memorial Day feature the following:
Air Force Sergeant Ed Likens, Korean War
Army 2nd Lieutenant Michael O'Connell, Vietnam War (Purple Heart recipient, Bronze Star, Congressional Medal of Honor)
Marines Staff Sergeant Wesley Bowers, Global War on Terrorism
Marines, Chief Warrant Officer Justin Bowers, Global War on Terrorism
Army Specialist 4, Jerry Skeans, Vietnam War (Bronze Star Recipient)
Army Staff Sergeant Adam Grimm, Global War on Terrorism
Army Staff Sergeant, Josh Wall, Global War on Terrorism
Army Captain, Michael Schlitt, Global War on Terrorism
Navy, Lieutenant Stanton Moore, Global War on Terrorism
Army Captain, Don Davis, Vietnam War
Marines, Private First Class, TJ Golden, Global War on Terrorism
Army Sergeant, Carl Bubba Anderson, 421st Medical Company (this was the 5th anniversary of his passing from cancer)
Marines, Corporal Joseph Andy Arnold, Vietnam War
Navy Lieutenant Commander Steve Yeager, Gulf War
Navy Lieutenant Tracey Yeager, Gulf War
Navy Lieutenant Commander Michael Rudolph, Gulf War
Army Staff Sergeant Jeffrey Condon, 82nd Airborne, Vietnam War
Navy Petty Officer, Christopher Riley, Global War on Terrorism
Marines Staff Sergeant Douglas Long, Jr., Global War on Terrorism
Navy Larry Raber, 2nd Class
Samuel, Rachel and Jack Yeager, who are lifelong friends of Stone, chose to surprise their father, Steve, with a special Christmas gift. They ordered banners honoring their parents, Tracey and Steve Yeager.
This was very special to Stone, because Steve and Tracey were influential in inspiring Elizabeth's brother. Nate led the "Race for Trace" to honor Tracey Yeager as his 2011 KYLA project.
Stone would like to see the banner cycles continue; however, because she is beginning her next chapter of college life, plans are in the works for the project to be managed by another group who will maintain the integrity of her original project.
To qualify, honorees must be a former or current resident of the greater Warsaw area and must be serving or have served in the United States Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard or National Guard. The banner will be 19" wide x 40" tall, made of a heavy vinyl, printed the same on both sides and will display the service person's photograph, including their full name and branch of the military they are serving or served in. The addition of rank and era of service are optional additions to the banner.
The banner will be displayed on the Market Street corridor. Banners will be placed on a first come, first served basis. All banner locations shall be determined solely by the City of Warsaw Parks Department. The Warsaw Salutes You Banner Recognition Program is not responsible for replacing banners that are stolen, damaged, or destroyed due to age, vandalism or any acts of nature. Once the banner is no longer used, it will be returned to the applicant.

The Smart Climate Oasis is a complete set of high-tech, intelligent climate management equipment that provides a comfortable indoor environment through a micro emission smart climate system. In this system, many micro emission and holographic ecological techniques are integrated, such as solar power generation, solar water heating, energy saving windows and doors, air purification, security and safety features, intelligent control system, energy storage system, reverse osmosis water purification system, automatic rainfall system, and many other features. The low carbon emission concept improves quality of life and air quality over time. The tiny world provides optimal temperature and humidity. It creates an opportunity for green landscape developments in desert environments or really anywhere. People will enjoy the multi-dimensional life experience in the clean, low impact environment with beautiful night scenes, sky terrace, temperature regulated swimming pool, and automatic rainfall system.
The solar canopy system is a sky dome climate system installed atop a standing structure. Solar panels are assembled at the top of the roof in order to maximize its surface and gather the optimal amount of solar energy for electricity generation. The canopy also provides effective shading for comfortable lounging out of the hot sun orr rain. The rain system can be installed on the roof top as well which can provide artificial rainfall, providing a place to cool off or creating a local microclimate.
The whole system is equipped with an automatic microclimate regulation system that can control the air and rain within through your mobile phone. At the top of the canopy, there is an artificial rainfall device that can be turned on when your microclimate is too dry. The rainfall unit can be used to water your garden or simply provide place to cool off. In the terrace and open space, the outdoor air conditioning system can be installed. When the air is too humid, open the air condition unit (using solar power) and it will generate a cool breeze. All of this can be controlled through a mobile app.
Equipped with photovoltaic power plants, the built-in self-powered system features high efficiency solar energy conversion using patented Himin technology. The self-generated electricity is used to power canopy lighting, system controls, air conditioning, and other equipment. The photovoltaic storage system stores energy harnessed during the day so that the electrical systems can be used at night or when there is insufficient sunshine during the day. The system provides an abudance of power and enhances the living standards of the occupants without creating pollution and waste. This allows users to live the comfortable life they want without any of the guilt associated with excessive lifestyles.
Himin solar water heating systems supply sufficient hot water to provide the entire house with consistent hot water. Hot water for showers, the kitchen, and swimming pool is readily available and is provided through renewable energy. Himin's micro solar pump supplies cycle energy to move hot water conveniently and efficiently.
Unique and private landscapes are a status symbol in desert areas. Lush landscapes combined with photovoltaic lighting systems create a fashionable private garden view that will impress guests from all over. Canopy lighting creates a beautiful dreamlike atmosphere. The solar fountain and self-lighting solar sculpture add to a fascinating, high class environment during the day and night.
Himin's energy efficiency window is capable of energy savings of 1.6W/m2 K, with plastic steel imported from Germany and patented coating technology with heat insulation properties. The multi-channel sealing technology features a level 6 sealing effect. The windows are wind, sand, and noise resistant, creating a tranquil and comfortable living environment.
To provide clean air inside the oasis, the Himin air purification system cycles air between the outside and inside through multiple filtration units. The system filters out toxic PM 2.5 particles and other large impurities to ensure clean, fresh, healthy air to breathe.
The intelligent security system is solar powered and is installed to guarantee safety through the entrance guard, alarm, and monitoring system. The entire system includes a video monitoring subsystem, alarm prevention subsystem, entrance guard patrol subsystem, voice intercom subsystem, audio-visual broadcast subsystem, intelligent analysis subsystem, perimeter prevention subsystem, positioning and tracking subsystem, dynamic environment monitoring subsystem, etc.
Even if the door and window sealing performance are good, the air purification system needs to also be working properly in order to secure air quality. Daily activities and products can sometimes produce harmful vapors and particles in the air. All of these can be removed using our air purification system. It works as auxiliary equipment for the micro six net window system and new air system. The air purifier can ultimately enhance the indoor air quality and keep your breathing healthy.
The RO large water purification system includes a sea water desalination system and domestic direct drinking water purification system. Water with excess salt and other particles can be purified using the RO large water purifier. The purified water can be used for drinking, bathing, gardening, and any other domestic applications without worry. The remaining purified water is stored in the reserve system.
The constant temperature outdoor swimming pool uses solar application technology to keep the water at a comfortable temperature. It is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious features of the Oasis. The pool combines solar technology and sea water desalination to make the most of its environmental protection capabilities through low energy consumption and minimizing the impact on local resources.
The solar kitchen allows users to cook harnessing the energy of the sun. The solar pipe can be heated to 300-400 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for barbecue cooking and other cooking styles that consume resources. As long as the sun is shining, or the reserve battery has power, cooking functions can be achieved and there is no need for coal, or other cooking fuel sources. It allows users to cook in the healthiest, most energy saving way possible.
The water-saving bathroom features a three-level septic tank system that treats the sewage to prevent pipe blockage and kill pathogens in order to produce high quality fertilizers. This system eliminates our negative environmental impact and actually spins it into a positive one.
Due to limited water resources in desert areas, it is important to maximize the efficiency in which we use these water sources in a sustainable fashion. The water system recycles water that flows through its drains and treats it, allowing us to use the same water over and over in a safe way without wasting resources.

Single stream recycling is just what it sounds like, all of your recyclable items are placed in the same container and then sorted on down the stream by a secondary company and then sold to item specific companies. This is what the lovely town of Irmo (where I live, in case you did not know) has implemented in the nicest lime green curbside containers. I am able to put all kinds of clean items in one container and then they are sorted later and recycled, cutting down on transportation cost and making it easier on me to recycle at home. Well there are also multiple companies in the Midlands who will do the same thing in your business for you. They will provide a container for paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and just about everything else that can be recycled. For a fee they will pick it up and recycle for you. A number of these companies can be found on www.recyclonomicssc.com helping to make recycling easy here is one of those companies www.tomatopalms.com. Did you know that about 300 million plastic containers are disposed of in the Carolinas every year? These bottles represent lost feedstock to local plastics recyclers and lost revenue to local governments and others from the sale of this material. About 75% of plastic bottles are landfilled annually. The Carolinas Plastics Recycling Council Factsheet can help you understand the opportunity for container recycling in the Carolinas.
Multi stream recycling is what we have selected here at Blue Cross by separating the items ourselves and then each item is recycled separately. This is more time intensive on our staff's part but less in upfront cost.
Plastics recycling; one of those companies we use for plastic containers is www.sonoco.com. We recycle about 600 pounds of plastic containers a month, that's a lot of plastic.
Paper recycling is a tricky thing. Really, the key here is reuse first, as paper can only be recycled 5 times and then it is of no use. For paper recycling in your area one good resource is http:// screcycles.com/. One of the ways I reuse paper is my adding machine at work, I can print on both sides of the adding machine tape (I know, I know, I still have a flip phone also!) I leave that tape connected as I use it and reroll it as I go then feed it back in backwards. I figure in eight years I have saved 20 rolls of adding machine tape. You can actually use each roll four times if you only add up small numbers but anything over 5 digits tends to run together, see how fun recycling can be?
Finding what works for you and your operation is the best place to start, select one item you can recycle and get your staff involved. You will find once you begin it is easier than you might think and has a benefit to all. For every pound of waste that is not going to a landfill is going into our local economy and into new products for the future.

Hillary Clinton's UCLA Visit: What You Missed
| bill clinton, California, hillary clinton, Los Angeles, Los Angeles and Region, Luskin Lecture, Lynn Vavreck, National, political science, Politics, UCLA, UCLA Luskin Center
Saharra Griffin |
March 5, 2014 | 10:41 p.m. PST
[Hillary Clinton speaking at UCLA's Royce Hall/Credit: Anna Sterling]
Hillary Clinton's visit to UCLA Wednesday to deliver the Luskin Lecture and receive UCLA's highest honor triggered strong emotions from the university community.
Hundreds of students camped out overnight to get tickets to the event, while others students fervidly protested Clinton's visit with picket signs.
The former U.S. secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential candidate delivered the third annual lecture two years after her husband, former President Bill Clinton, spoke at the same event.
In her speech, Clinton wasted no time addressing Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's recent involvement in Ukraine. Channeling the authoritative tone she so often utilized in her days as secretary of state, she didn't hesitate to call out Putin, calling him "a tough guy with thin skin."
She praised the Obama administration's diplomatic actions responding to the situation in Ukraine thus far. "I support the administration's call for Russia to respect its obligations and to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine," she said.
She also clarified a controversial statement she made recently equating Putin's actions to Hitler's in the 1930s. "I'm not making a comparison certainly, but I am recommending that we can perhaps learn from this tactic that has been used before," said Clinton.
In a Q&A session with UCLA professor Lynn Vavreck, Clinton addressed the elephant in the room and the question on everyone's mind—will she run for president in 2016?
While she did not provide a definitive answer to the question, when asked why it is important for the United States to elect a female president, Clinton responded, "the right female president, yes."
Diverting the topic of conversation from herself to a more general trend, she listed numerous other countries that have recently elected their first female heads of state and suggested that the U.S. should follow the example.
Without revealing her own plans about 2016, she presented the ambiguous claim about America electing a female president—"When it happens, how it happens, by who, we'll wait and see"—leaving the audience and the rest of the world waiting to see if she will run.

My awesome biz coach and SCORE mentor, Chuck Sawicki, challenged me to understand what it is that makes YOTB different from all those other book publishers.
The assignment began with watching an influential TED Talk by Simon Sinek, in which he profoundly shares that, "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." I would argue that the same is true not only for businesses, but also for writers. We don't need one more romance novel on the shelves (the what)… but I'll climb thorny fences to find a book that transports me to a world in which I can live vicariously through strong, smart heroines (the why).
So while other publishers want to sell you a package to get your book into print, I have a different vision.
I believe every person has a story that matters. I believe YOU have a story that matters. And that story is meant to be told—and shared—for others who are still struggling to conquer those same fears and obstacles, and they need to hear YOUR words to find the light at the end of their tunnel. Your words matter. Your words have POWER.
I help storytellers of all backgrounds and talents to discover ways to share your story in the shape of a book, and to give you the tools and assistance to not only create a book, but to create an amazing book—a book you'll be proud to shout about from the rooftops—in order to reach the readers who need to hear your message.
I do this through heartfelt 1-on-1 writing coaching to coax the story out of you, professional yet compassionate editing to take that story from fine to intoxicating, and artisanal design that makes every aspect of your book sparkle.
What will YOUR book be about? It's time to share your message with the world!
I think your heart is the reason I became a published author. Without your loving encouragement it never would have happened.

Fluffing up Trump: How BuzzFeed landed the profile that earned them an enemy
Betsy Rothstein Gossip blogger
Hindsight is 20-20. But in some instances, like this one, it would've been tough for any flack to foresee the PR disaster of a profile that would emerge by allowing a reporter to trail Donald Trump from the bowels of New Hampshire to the glitz of Palm Beach. The Daily Caller's Mirror Blog has obtained the January pitch email from BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins, who wrote the profile on Trump that angered the billionaire so much that he took to Twitter and called him a "dishonest slob" of a reporter.
As you can see in the pitch below, Coppins fluffed up Trump's feathers and pressed all the buttons that were sure to make the real estate mogul and his camp delight in allowing the profile — the attention, it'll go viral, the bragging that their politics section gets more traffic than Politico's and the promise that it'll show that Trump is considered to be a "major player" and "ahead of the curve" in terms of his grasp on new media. Or "Tump" as Coppins called him in the pitch letter.
The pitch was made to the now infamous Sam Nunberg, the ever-loyal Trump employee who resigned in the wake of the lengthy profile. Nunberg interacted with Coppins approximately 25 times on a variety of stories before the profile came up.
The Mirror has removed the exact email addresses of Coppins and Nunberg for privacy purposes.
Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2014 21:28:32 -0500
Subject: Re: Hey we need to talk…
From: McKay Coppins
To: Sam Nunberg
A brief summary of my pitch for why he should give me the access:
BuzzFeed attracted 130 million readers last month, making it one of the biggest sites on the web. Our politics section alone does double the traffic of Politico.
I've already done big profiles of all the major 2016 GOP players, including substantial sit-down interviews with Rand Paul and Scott Walker, and features on Ryan, Rubio, Cruz, etc. In each case, the stories have gone viral in the political world and beyond, and many have generated sustained conversation online and on TV. If Tump gives me access, my piece is likely to get more attention than it would in most magazines and newspapers. It would also show that he's ahead of the curve and understands the new media landscape.
Let me know if you need anything else. We should definitely make this happen.
I sought comment from Coppins, asking if he considers Trump to be a "major 2016 GOP player" as his pitch states in contrast to the story he wrote, "36 Hours on the Fake Donald Trump trail." Also asked was if Coppins has any regrets about the way in which he pitched Trump's people for the profile. Coppins replied, "This is the standard pitch I make when proposing access for profiles — it's about BuzzFeed, and my experience as a reporter, not Trump. I was upfront with Trump and his team that this wasn't going to be a puff piece, and as I wrote in the story, I confronted Trump directly with my skepticism during our interview. If he wants to prove me wrong, I suggest that he actually run for president."

Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy (born August 1, 1984) is an entrepreneur and former public servant who founded Brain Bar.

His other projects include Design Terminal, a social enterprise based in Budapest, Hungary that helps startups to reach the global marketplace and Datapolis, an urban intelligence company co-founded by Böszörményi-Nagy and world-renowned network scientist Albert-László Barabási.

Education
Böszörményi-Nagy earned his Master of Science degrees in International relations from Corvinus University of Budapest and in urbanism from the London School of Economics. He pursued a Master of Business Administration at Central European University and studied Social Entrepreneurship at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Career

2010s
From 2010 to 2012, Böszörményi-Nagy was head of EU communication for the Government of Hungary, leading the public outreach of Hungary's first Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

In 2012 Böszörményi-Nagy joined Design Terminal, the government agency responsible for design and innovation. During his leadership, the company launched an extensive portfolio of incubation services for innovative enterprises, for which Design Terminal was awarded the European Enterprise Promotion Awards by the European Commission. In 2015, UNESCO selected Budapest for its global Creative Cities network, mostly in recognition of the services and projects of Design Terminal. Following an extensive restructuring in the Hungarian public administration, Design Terminal made a transition to the private sector as a social enterprise, and expanded its operations to a regional scale with programs across Central-Europe while relying on public grants and business revenues.

2020s
In 2020 Böszörményi-Nagy was appointed as chairman of the board of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Hungary's major educational institution for the creative industries. As president he is ambitioning to make the university "the most recognized hub of innovation and applied creativity in the Central European region" by 2030. Fearing the state of academic freedom, especially after the illegal removing of the Central European University from Hungary, the process of privatizing state founded universities have met heavy criticism in the whole country.

Politics
In 2008, Böszörményi-Nagy became the Vice President of the Budapest section of Fidelitas, the youth organization of the conservative Fidesz party. Following Fidesz's win of the 2010 elections, Böszörményi-Nagy worked at the Hungarian Ministry of Public Administration and Justice. His firm CreaCity provides advisory services for minister Gergely Gulyás. In 2011 he wrote an article on Mandiner under a pseudonym where he attacked an opposition activist in a tone which caused controversy.

Brain Bar
In June, 2015 Böszörményi-Nagy founded Brain Bar, a global festival focused on the future. The annual event revolves around a two-day concentration of interactive talks and debates on business, social, cultural, technological and political trends, and attracts thousands of visitors per year with past speakers including PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, Canadian psychologist Jordan B. Peterson, historian Niall Ferguson, three Michelin star restaurateur Massimo Bottura, WPP plc founder Sir Martin Sorrell, EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager, best-selling futurist Kevin Kelly, economists Mariana Mazzucato and Tim Harford, Pirate Bay founder Peter Sunde, technology critic Evgeny Morozov, geopolitical analysts George Friedman and Bruno Maçães, controversial environmentalist Bjørn Lomborg, sociologist Philip Zimbardo, astronaut and former International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield, architect Sou Fujimoto, Sea Shepherd captain Peter Hammarstedt, supermodel Maye Musk and the world's first humanoid robot citizen, Sophia. As part of its social impact policy, Brain Bar is free to attend for a group of outstanding teachers and students based on pre-selection. Brain Bar operates as a private enterprise co-owned by Böszörményi-Nagy and a group of business angels.

Awards
Böszörményi-Nagy has been awarded with the Golden Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit in 2020. Earlier Google, the Financial Times and the International Visegrad Fund named him among 'New Europe 100', the list of Central Europe's key figures in the new economy.

A friend of mine has a handful of Librettos (Models 70 and 100, several of each), and we found that one of the 100s has its original OS install, as-shipped from Toshiba. As we continue to evaluate what is worth archiving from this hard drive (e.g. what cannot be re-downloaded from elsewhere), I'm uploading the desktop wallpaper images here.Since I began shopping for a Libretto and bought my 60, I've been on the hunt for period-appropriate Toshiba desktop backgrounds. My computer had its hard drive replaced, so anything that wasn't installable (drivers, utilities yes, UI elements like wallpapers no) is missing.
I have used reverse image searches to verify these images are not published online already. I hope anyone who wants them is pleased with what they find here.
It is possible that older models might have different wallpapers; if that is the case I'd love to have those as well to showcase here. Since the 100 also contained images larger than its own screen resolution, most likely these apply to other model series as well.


A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for Easter Saturday - the Easter Vigil, Years A,B and C.
Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), so the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing. Many of these hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles / genres are included.
The Easter Vigil is the liturgical highlight of the Church year. It is the third ceremony in the Triduum, following from the Holy Thursday commemoration of the Lord's Supper, and the Good Friday Celebration of the Lord's Passion.
The Easter Vigil Planning Template is a worksheet for planning and organising this service.
Isaiah 54: With great love, the Lord has taken pity on you, and will never leave you.
Note: The 3rd reading is compulsory. Up to six others are chosen, depending on the liturgical guidelines and local / pastoral circumstances.
First: Romans - We were baptised in Christ's death - and resurrection. When he died, he died once for all.
Psalm: 117 - Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia / Give thanks to the Lord / The Lord's right hand has triumphed.
Second: Hebrews -In Jesus we have the supreme High Priest, who learnt to obey through suffering.
Year A Matthew - The angel rolled away the stone, and said to the women "Do not be afraid, he is risen as he said. Come and see the tomb, then go and tell the disciples that he is going to Galilee". The women ran filled with awe and joy, and they met Jesus.
Year B Mark - The women went to the tomb, and found the stone rolled away. They entered the tomb, and found Jesus was gone. A young man in a white robe told them that Jesus had risen, and that they should tell the disciples to go to Galilee to see Jesus.
Year C Luke - The women went to the tomb, and found the stone rolled away. Two dazzing men appeared and said "Why look among the dead for one who is alive?". They reported this to the disciples, and Peter went to the tomb.
Resurrection, triumph over death, rejoicing, alleluia.
Nine readings are assigned to the Easter Vigil: seven from the Old Testament and the Epistle and Gospel from the New Testament. If special circumstances demand, in individual cases, the number of prescribed readings may be reduced to three readings from the Old Testament. However, in cases of extreme necessity, two readings from the Old Testament may be read before the Epistle and Gospel In all cases, the third reading from Exodus must always be read.
The rubric is very different from your comment "All but the third reading are optional". To be a useful Liturgy tool we need accuracy to guide those who use the resource in the celebration of the liturgy. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I'm not attempting to be a full guide to the rubrics: that is what the translated version of the GIRM and other documents are for, and I would not at all like to try to replace them. But I will change my comment to be clearer.

Paintball's Grand Finale-Glade Runner
pbwidow
28 Nov 09, 11:42
It is the 21st century, a time after war has made the Earth so polluted and congested, that much of the populace has been encouraged to migrate to "off world colonies." No one today remembers why World War Terminus began, and no one really cares.
Little remains of the Eastern Seaboard - Miami, Cape Canaveral and a few other areas along the Florida Peninsula. On the West Coast Los Angeles and San Francisco remain. Those areas that do still exist are protected by the World Police Organization. Headquartered in Leningrad, each department has their own Bounty Hunter units, Blade Runners in California, and Glade Runners in Florida.
A few large corporations now control everything.
One such corporation has advanced android evolution to the ultimate phase --
beings virtually identical to humans -- known as replicants. These replicants are superior in strength and agility,
and more than equal in intelligence to the engineers who created them.
They are perfectly constructed to perform arduous, subservient tasks for their human creators.
Banned on Earth, they are available only on the off-world colonies for work details in the hazardous
exploration and colonization of other planets and as protectors of their owners.
Trouble is -- the replicants look and act exactly like humans. A special police force known as
Glade Runner Units, has been developed to track down any renegade replicants that have escaped,
and are trying to pass for human beings, and live freely on Earth.
Your assignment is to find the replicants… then retire them.
Enter the world of the Glade Runner.

Hyderabad: Senior YSR Congress Party leader Dharmana Prasada Rao criticised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, saying that he was hoodwinking members of the Backward Caste (BC) communities in the state, that too just before the state Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters on Monday he said that Chandrababu had no right to raise the slogan "Jai Ho BC" and that the BCs were not ready to fall for his words either.
What has he done in the past five years, he questioned that he now comes to talk about welfare schemes for them. Now out of fear that they might question him, he is starting these Jaya Ho BC programs, he said.
He also questioned as to whether Chandrababu had included any member of the BC community as a minister in the Central cabinet when he was in alliance with UPA, and the people were aware as to who were sent to the Centre, he reminded. Neither were they made ministers nor were they even nominated to the Rajya Sabha , he criticised. It may be recollected that he had even sent a letter to the Centre stating that BCs were not qualified to be Judges.
Talking about the socio-economic caste census-2011 which till date was not completed despite being questioned by Justice Eswaraiah, the former chairman of National Backward Classes Commission and retired High Court Judge, Chandrababu has no answer for this, but now all of a sudden is talking about the BC welfare committees, he said.
To appease the voters from the fisherman caste he promised them ST status, but when it came to implementation he completely forgot and when they protested he had the audacity to threaten them. He further alleged that Chandrababu had a very low opinion of BCs and we all remember when he commented on the Nayi Brahmins on the basis of caste, he reminded.
Dharmana also recollected late YSR Congress leader Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy's welfare schemes for the BCs and how he had introduced the fees reimbursement scheme for them which had helped so many of the students study further and get jobs. He also gave a hint about YS Jagan's future plans for the BCs which would be revealed soon and that it was only YS Jagan who was capable of doing justice for them , he concluded.

Teachers At Chicago Charter School Vote To Authorize A Strike
Sarah Karp
The Scantron bubble has burst, as standardized testing goes online.
Nearly every union staff member at a charter school chain voted Wednesday to authorize a strike if negotiations remain stalled.
Ninety-nine percent of the staff at the four Aspira schools on the Northwest Side voted in favor of the strike. If the staff does walk, it would be the first charter school teacher strike in history.
The approximately 100 Aspira Charter School staff have been in negotiations since May. Union president Marines Martinez said no strike date has been set and stressed that Aspira employees do not want to walk out.
She said the goal is to send a message to administrators that they are serious.
The union is frustrated that the administration claims it is broke, she said, but refuses to provide proof that it lacks money.
"For the most part we are stuck on this one issue and it is transparency," Martinez said. "Aspira is spending their money and we are not really sure how."
But Aspira Board President Fernando Grillo said the two sides are mostly stuck on issues around compensation and the length of the contract.
Aspira has been hit by two rounds of CPS budget cuts, one last year and one just a few weeks ago. Yet Aspira did pay the contractually-obligated raises last year.
Aspira is offering small raises and a three- to five-year contract, Grillo said.
"We are ready and able to get this wrapped up," he said."A strike by our teachers is only going to harm the education of our kids. I want to tell you (we have) a lot of respect for our teachers and we are dedicated and committed to our teachers."
Martinez counters that the union wants to see Aspira's budget so it knows how much it can afford and whether the network is spending appropriately.
She said conditions in the schools makes the union suspicious that the money is being misspent. Schools aren't cleaned regularly and bathrooms are not well stocked with toilet paper and hand soap, Martinez said.
"I honestly do not know the last time my classroom was cleaned," she said.
Martinez also said it is frustrating that Aspira administrators keep leaving the organization, only to be replaced by new people in the negotiations.
About 1,500 students are enrolled in the four schools.
Aspira staff unionized in 2010. They were the second charter school group to do so in Chicago. Since then, a dozen others in Chicago have followed.
Earlier this year, UNO teachers almost went on strike, but were able to reach a contract deal just hours before teachers were set to go to the picket line.
Charter schools also had their budgets cuts by about 6 percent due to the overall deficit in the Chicago Public Schools.

Toowoomba is the second most populous inland city in the country after the national capital of Canberra. In the last five years, it has also become one of the fastest growing towns in the country, with low unemployment and an increase in infrastructure leading to employment generation.
Toowoomba is on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, around 700 metres (2,300 ft) above sea level. A few streets are on the eastern side of the edge of the range, but most of the city is west of the divide.
The city occupies the edge of the range and the low ridges behind it. Two valleys run north from the southern boundary, each arising from springs either side of Middle Ridge near Spring Street at an altitude of around 680 m. These waterways, East Creek and West Creek, flow together just north of the CBD to form Gowrie Creek.
Gowrie Creek drains to the west across the Darling Downs and is a tributary of the Condamine River, part of the Murray–Darling basin. The water flowing down Gowrie Creek makes its way some 3,000 km (1,900 mi) to the mouth of the Murray River near Adelaide in South Australia.

Verzeo Founder Vungarala V Subrahmanyam dropped out from Manipal Institute of Technology in his third year at the impressionable age of 18 to start his entrepreneurial journey. He started working during his first year of engineering in Manipal, wherein he laid the foundation of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
'Verzeo, an 'Invisible Mentor', trains students using Al based software with the motive 'Learn Here Lead Anywhere',' says Subrahmanyam while talking to UNI.
Before Verzeo, he had established another Start-up Transtele. Taking inspiration and bringing his expertise from his previous start-up which was sold to a tech-giant company, Mr Subramanyam focussed on making the corporate community a better place, one student at a time.
This young entrepreneur started with with a meagre amount Rs one lakh but has a turnover Rs 2.5 crore now.
Verzeo's crowd-sourcing project and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based learning is taking advantage of the Skill India platform which was initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and is helping both companies and students.
'Companies that fall short of workforce, approach them for their pressing requirement of skilled personnel wherein Verzeo AI based software matches the company's business requirements with an appropriately trained and skilled workforce in the form of students,' he said.
While students achieve valuable work experience and ensuring monetary incentives, organisations fulfill their requirements in an economical manner, he added.
Students, fresh out of schools or pursuing Under Graduate or Post Graduate courses, are provided courses both Online and Offline and prepared for the corporate world.
'Verzeo is a sui generis start-up and competently deploys artificial intelligence software to their e-learning platform, thereby enabling students to efficiently develop skills essential for their chosen and respective work industry, ' said Subrahmanyam.
His company partners with various Tier 2 and Tier 3 educational institutions and reaches out to the students, he said, adding that 'It also works closely in collaboration with various industrial firms like Microsoft Corporation to provide the students with the necessary and beneficial internship opportunities'.
It started off with only 30 students but in due course of time, the numbers has grown exponentially to over 80,000, of which, more than 7,000 students are enrolled in offline courses.
'Verzeo aims to have a student base of over 3,00,000 across India by the end of 2019,' says Subrahmanyam.
Working professionals learning to adapt to the ever-changing technological world can also apply for the course, he said.
Programmes provided by the company include Artificial Intelligence, Azure Cloud Computing, Block chain Technology, Cyber Security, Web Development, Machine learning with Python, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Technology-based programs, share Point, Power PI, Selenium, DLSI and 50 stimulating courses in collaboration with Microsoft Corporation as their authorised education partner.
Ritesh Agarwal, Founder of Oyo rooms, inspires the young enterpriser.
For budding entrepreneurs, his advice is 'Don't get discouraged by anyone. Start working whenever you plan anything.'
