Q: Line under text with spaces. Is it possible via html & css? I've spent hours on this. I tried to describe issue on attached image.
It is necessary to wrap text by white lines with some spaces between lines & texts.

First solution i thought about - just to put text on line using smth line "margin-top:-20px;" and give the text container custom background (for example, gray). But it's not a solution, because container's background is transparent :(
I thought to make smth like this (using "float:left"):

TEXT

TEXT

but if i use float:left for all elements there is anouther issue: white line should end at the right side of container.
Maybe there are some css best-practices for this issue, or somebody could give some advice..?
Any ideas will be helpful :)!

100% Container Width

CSS
body {
    background:yellow;
}
header {
    display:table;
    width:100%;
    max-width:100%;
}
header div {
    display:table-row;
    line-height:1.5em;
    font-size:2em;
    white-space:nowrap;
}
header h1 {
    font-size:inherit; /* Change font-size in header */
    overflow:hidden;
    display:table-cell;

    padding:.3em .5em;
    text-decoration:none;

Note: To add support for IE8, either use an element other than header or use html5shiv.

A: to really do what you want, to have lines interspersed with text to take up 100% of the parent container, with the blocks of text evenly spaced, is most likely going to require the use of javascript. A jQuery plugin could be created for such a purpose.
Here's an extremely crude version of code that could be the start of such a solution
http://jsfiddle.net/jackwanders/XJNpz/
But even here, maintaining the proper width for the lines is not ideal, as quickly making the viewport smaller will result in one line breaking down.

A: HTML:

TEXT

CSS:
.line {
    width: 100px;
    padding-top: 15px; /* font-size / 2  = (30/2=15) */
    border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
    float: left;
}
.text {
    font-size: 30px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #000;
    float: left;
}

.text {
    font-size: 30px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #000;
    float: left;

JavaScript:
var text_width = parseInt($(".text").css("width"));
var container_width = parseInt($("#container").css("width"));
var line_width = (container_width - text_width) / 2;
$("div").find(".line").css("width", line_width+"px");

It relies on a linear gradient. If you're not supporting old IEs it works perfectly.

Swiss Standoff With EU Belies Country's Deep Economic Dependence
Swiss Standoff With EU Belies Country's Deep Economic Dependence by Eoin Treacy
This article by Catherine Bosley for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:
An EU attempt to compel Switzerland to agree to the treaty by denying the country's bourse recognition under EU equivalence rules seems to have had little or no impact, with the benchmark SMI Index closing at a record high on Tuesday. There may be more salvos to come.
The EU could up the ante by refusing to revise an agreement on technical barriers to trade, which would hit several companies, notably in the medical-technology sector. There's also Switzerland's participation in EU research programs like Horizon 2020, which would thwart universities and research and development activity.
"They're in a position where they're highly dependent on the EU - just look at the map," said Nicholas Veron a senior fellow at the consultancy Bruegel in Brussels.
Like Brexit
Switzerland's issues with the EU are not that different from those of Brexit backers in the U.K. Many in Switzerland are upset about high levels of immigration and regard the 28-member bloc as a dysfunctional bureaucracy. Unlike the U.K., however, Switzerland was never part of the bloc, and instead has a special relationship based on 120 agreements, which the EU now wants to consolidate and streamline into one new treaty.
That's proved to be a contentious undertaking. The EU made concessions on a dispute arbitration panel, but with labor unions up in arms about wages -- fearing they would face downward pressure in high-income Switzerland -- Bern wouldn't sign on to the so-called framework deal. Certainly not ahead of a general election in October.
How much of the increasing acrimonious relationship between the EU and Switzerland is about the new treaty and how much is about the impending Swiss election and the desire to look strong and independent to a wavering population?
The smart move on the EU's behalf would be to tread softly, allowing the domestic Swiss narrative to run its course and to hope to get the treaty signed when a new government is in place. The risk however is the EU bureaucracy's growing confidence in its regulatory straitjacket is leading to a more assertive tone.
What I found particularly interesting is that two days after the stock market equivalency deal ended, the Italian finance minister suddenly decided to drop the fiscal spending plan and is now willing to support the fiscal discipline program. Perhaps Italians are getting the message that the EU is willing to follow through on its threats. Viewed from that perspective, the hard line taken with both Switzerland and the UK are as much about reaching favourable agreements as they are about ensuring no further rebels appear.
Meanwhile the Swiss Index is at new highs and Italian yields are falling into line with their Eurozone brethren.

The Last Glacier collective began in 2010 as a response to the rapidly retreating glaciers of Glacier National Park in Montana, USA. Over the course of four years artists Todd Anderson, Bruce Crownover and Ian van Coller hiked through valleys, up streams and over mountains to visit the last glaciers in the "crown jewel of the continent," Glacier National Park. Their work resulted in artworks and a limited edition artist book that shares the wonder of the park's glaciers while simultaneously serving as a historical document of climate change in Glacier National Park.
The experiences of hiking, seeing and touching were transformative to the artists. Glaciers, one of the mightiest forces of the natural world, revealed themselves as fragile and more responsive to human impacts than ever imagined. The Last Glacier collective has since expanded by working with scientific collaborators on likeminded, convergent research projects in Iceland (Fissure) and Tanzania (Mount Kilimanjaro), with new, forthcoming projects based in Colorado (ROMO: The Last Glacier), Utah, Wyoming, and further afield.
The Last Glacier artworks and artist books can be seen at a variety of locations such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, US Library of Congress, Yale University, Stanford University, the Davis Museum of Art at Wellesley College, the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation Collection, Clemson University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Blondie and Brownie: Churros at the Doughnut Plant?!
No, this was a basket of churros rellenos con cajeta--churros that are filled with a goat milk caramel. Um, you had me at goat milk caramel. Oh, who am I kidding? You had me at filled churro.
Many of the churros I've encountered in the city have been mediocre at best. The churros from the Doughnut Plant were exceptional. Fresh and cinnamony, chewy yet tender, the churros rellenos are worth saving little extra tummy space.
I've seen those there each of the last three times I've been to the Plant (the last one being this past Friday) but I blew them off - I mean, this is the Doughnut Plant. But now I will have to get one next time!
What's with the churro dismissal?? They're like doughnut sticks! I love churros.
Nice to hear that those are good.
You just described my ideal NYC morning (how I miss them), a knish, lox and bagel and yummy cinnamony churros! Wow! How lucky did you feel to be eating all of that?
@roopa: definitely do give it a try!
@anna: lol. churros can be downright awesome, but a lot of times they are just sort of meh. Maybe it's a result of Taco Bell churros saturation in high school.
@kathryn: that's a bummer. the filling is really what sealed the deal with ordering these.
@jamie: wandering around the Lower East Side eating all that yummy food I definitely appreciated my good fortune. I love these sorts of weekend noshing walks.

Subspecialty certification in Pediatric Urology began in 2008 for urologists whose practice is at least 75% pediatric urology. Applicants approved by the Board to enter the process of subspecialty certification must be engaged in the active practice of pediatric urology, and must hold a current unrestricted general certificate in urology issued by the American Board of Urology.
All subspecialty certificates are time-limited and subject to Lifelong Learning (LLL). When a Diplomate becomes certified in a subspecialty, the Diplomate's general urology certificate will be extended to coincide with the expiration date of the subspecialty certificate. The Diplomate will enter the LLL process after completing subspecialty certification.
The Pediatric Subspecialty application process can only be completed following unrestricted general certification in urology, and it is mandatory that all application requirements be successfully completed within 6 years of Fellowship training. The timing of the exams and the application deadlines allow for the possibility, if desired, to apply for both the Certifying (Part 2) Examination and the Pediatric Subspecialty Certification Examination within the same calendar year.
The 2023 Pediatric Subspecialty Certification Exam dates are October 9 or 10, 2023
Schedule and Fees
The Pediatric Subspecialty Certification Exam (PSCE) is scheduled annually on two dates in late October at Pearson VUE testing centers nationwide. Applications for the American Board of Urology Pediatric Urology Subspecialty Certification Examination will be available mid-January. Application requirements include a 12 month practice log, current medical license valid through the exam date, documentation of 90 CME credits (including 30 hours pediatric focused Category 1) earned within last three years, and an application fee of $1,845. Completed applications must be submitted to the Board office by April 1. Late applications will be accepted with a $750 late fee from April 1 to April 15. No applications will be accepted after April 15.
Candidates for subspecialty certification must be in the active practice of pediatric urology and have completed at least 24 months in an approved pediatric urology training program. Applicants will be required to provide the Board with an electronic 12 month practice log demonstrating a 75% minimum dedicated to pediatric urology, and/or an adequate number of major pediatric urologic surgery cases, as determined by the Board.
The June 2010 Pediatric Subspecialty Examination was the final opportunity for pediatric urologists lacking completion of an ACGME or RCPS(C) approved pediatric urology residency of at least 24 months in length to achieve pediatric urology subspecialty certification.

The final component of subspecialty certification is the examination, which is taken after satisfactory completion of the other process requirements. The examination is scheduled annually on two dates in October. As a proctored, computerized examination, it is administered at over 200 Pearson VUE testing centers located throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The candidate may take the examination on either day, dependent upon site availability.
The four-hour examination consists of approximately 125 multiple choice questions designed to assess knowledge in the field of pediatric urology. The exam will include all aspects of pediatric urology, including but not limited to congenital abnormalities, childhood acquired urologic problems (such as tumors and trauma), and overlapping problems of adolescence.
Candidates seeking subspecialty certification have 3 opportunities to pass the examination, and must do so within 6 years of fellowship completion. All applications are individually reviewed by the appropriate subspecialty certification committee. Candidates who have "timed out" or failed three attempts at certification are required to complete an additional year in an ACGME accredited fellowship in order to re-enter the process.
Pearson Professional Examination Rules
Pearson VUE ID Policy
The method used to determine a passing score on the Pediatric Subspecialty Certification Examination is based on criterion reference testing. Criterion reference testing uses a benchmark examination to establish a performance which all candidates must meet. Examinations are compared to the benchmark standard and the passing score varies according to the difficulty. The probability of passing remains constant, and the examination process provides a uniform opportunity to pass from one year to the next. In theory, all who take the examination could pass; there is no mandatory failure rate.
Statistical results for the Pediatric Subspecialty Exam can be found here.

Flashback: Ascension: Chronicles of the Godslayer
[With Jeff Feuer casting an eye on Star Realms and drawing some comparisons between it and Ascention: Chronicle of the Godslayer as both was done by the same designer, we thought it would be a good idea and useful to our readers to "flashback" to Jeff's initial look at Ascension in his review as it first appeared in the Fall 2010 issue of GA Report.]

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer is a deck-building card game for 2-4 players by first time designer Justin Gary. It is self-published by Gary Games. Although listed with a play time of an hour to an hour and a half, a game between experienced players (who know the rules and the cards) will last around 30 minutes. Justin Gary and several of his major playtesters are Magic: the Gathering pro tournament players. The result is a game which has a large variety of cards and a fantasy theme like Magic (featured in the Winter 1994 GA Report). Being a deck-building card game, it is only natural for gamers to wonder how Ascension compares to other deck-building card games like Dominion (Winter 2009 GA Report) and Thunderstone (Spring 2010 GA Report). This review will draw such comparisons for those that are familiar with both of those games. It has some similar features to both games, but is also quite different from both.
Like Dominion, Ascension is a deck-building game where players start with their own deck of 10 cards from which they shuffle and deal themselves a hand of five cards. By comparison, Thunderstone, also a fantasy based deck-building card game, gives players a starting deck of twelve cards and a hand of six cards. The starting cards in each player's deck in Ascension consists of 8 cards that are worth 1 money unit (called a rune) represented by a triangle for purchasing new cards and 2 cards that are worth 1 power, represented by a red circle, for conquering monsters.
During a player's turn, they can play as many cards as they wish to play from their hand, they can buy as many cards as they can afford and conquer as many monsters as they have power to defeat, with no other restrictions. When monsters are conquered, they grant immediate victory points represented by gems (which come in 1 and 5 unit gems). Some also grant an effect to the player who conquered it, such as money to spend during that turn, drawing another card, banishing a card (taking a card from the center row or from a player's hand or discard pile to a common discard pile, called the void, like trashing in Dominion). Once the player takes their victory points and performs any effect on the monster's card, the monster is discarded to the void (does not clog up their deck). Cards that are played from a player's hand, granting an effect, are either heroes, which are discarded to the player's discard pile at the end of their turn, or constructs, which stay out in front of the player (until and unless another player does something that causes them to have to discard some or all of them). All cards purchased during the game are worth some amount of victory points (printed on the card) at the end of the game (no gem victory points are given for purchasing or owning any card only for defeating monsters). Interestingly, having victory points printed on the card and having a way to earn victory points (in gem form) during the game is more reminiscent of Race for the Galaxy (Winter 2008 GA Report) than either Dominion or Thunderstone. As Race for the Galaxy is not a deck building game, there are not many other similarities between Ascension and Race for the Galaxy.
By contrast, Dominion allows players to play only one card for its effect, called an action (unless that card grants more actions), buy only one card (unless their action card(s) allow for extra purchases) which usually is either money, victory points, or has an effect, and then discard all cards played (except for duration cards, introduced in the Seaside expansion, which stay out for just one more turn). Furthermore, many cards in the game are not worth victory points at all and you never earn victory points (like the gems) during the game that stay with you the entire game (can never be trashed). Thunderstone allows players to either buy a card or conquer a monster, but not both and not more than one from either category. Defeated monsters go to the player's deck, thus clogging up their deck with cards that are useful only at the end of the game for victory points. Also in Thunderstone, all cards are discarded at the end of the turn.
When deciding what cards to buy or monsters to conquer, Ascension players choose from a center row of 6 cards that are drawn from a single deck of cards called the portal deck. The portal deck consists of 72 heroes and constructs (divided up into 4 factions of 18 cards each) and 28 monsters that may be conquered, all shuffled together. It is possible to have a center row consisting entirely of monsters or of cards to be purchased. They may also choose to purchase a mystic card (3 cost and grants 2 runes when played) or a heavy infantry card (2 cost and grants 2 units of power). They may also choose to conquer cultist monster(s) that can be defeated at a rate of 2 power per cultist. Each defeated cultist grants an immediate victory point (in gem form).
By contrast, Dominion only has set supply piles (like the mystic and heavy infantry piles in Ascension). Thunderstone has set supply piles for the purpose of purchasing cards. It also has something like the center row, consisting of 3 monsters, representing a 3 level dungeon, so that players can always attempt to conquer monsters. However, conquering monsters is much different. In Ascension, you simply need to have enough power in your hand of cards to conquer a monster. In Thunderstone, the dungeon requires players to have card(s) granting light in their hand or extra power to make up for insufficient light, and the further into the dungeon (the closer to the central deck) that the monster is, the more light or extra power is required. Furthermore, players can acquire weapons to provide more attack power, but they are useless without a hero to wield it.
As previously stated, the portal deck consists of 4 factions of 18 heroes and constructs. Each faction tends to have cards that have similar effects, but players are not required to stay with just one faction. The 4 factions are: Void, Enlightened, Mechana and Lifebound. Void cards tend to grant the player extra power on their turn. Enlightened cards tend to let players manipulate their deck, either drawing cards or banishing cards (to the void instead of their personal discard pile). Mechana cards tend to give players discounts and abilities related to purchasing and/or playing constructs (especially Mechana constructs). They are the most synergistic faction, if you can get multiple Mechana constructs, you can have a very powerful deck and tableau of constructs. Lifebound cards tend to give extra runes to spend and sometimes a bonus if you play other Lifebound cards. Neither Dominion nor Thunderstone have factions. Fairy Tale (Spring 2005 GA Report) is a card game which does have factions which have separate abilities but, as it is also not a deck-building game, there have been only a few comparisons made between Ascension and Fairy Tale.
The game ends at the end of the round when the supply of gems is exhausted. The game ends with the player who had the last turn of each round. There are 60 points worth of gems available in a 2 player game and the supply increases by 15 points per player to a maximum of 90 points in a 4 player game. The players then add up the points that were preprinted on the cards they purchased during the game and added to the points they have in gems. The winner is the player with the most points. This is one of the few other similarities that Ascension has with Race for the Galaxy and not with Dominion or Thunderstone.
The box for Ascension is designed for a quick set-up (and clean up) of the game with set places for starting hands, the portal deck and a divider to separate the heavy infantry and mystic piles. It is clear that thought was put into how gamers will play a deck building game when designing the compartments for the box's interior. Furthermore, the compartments are big enough to allow the cards to be sleeved and still fit.
It seems that some of the main difficulty in teaching Dominion and Thunderstone to new players is explaining the restrictions of "one action" and "one buy". Without these restrictions, Ascension is an easier game to teach to new players. Those who have played Dominion and/or Thunderstone before do not seem to have much trouble since they have a frame of reference, with many common terms (banishing instead of trashing) and are used to having their own separate deck of cards to play with.
Overall, Ascension is a fun game. With only 2 set piles for purchase and only 1 set for conquering, it is a much more tactical game that Dominion or Thunderstone. You can build a money heavy or a power heavy deck, but if the center row consists of cards which must be acquired via the other method, there is not much you can do. You also cannot be sure of what types of cards, i.e. factions and cost, will be available on your turns. In Dominion, it is easier to develop a strategy of which cards you will purchase and use since the set piles will be available for many turns. Gamers should take these factors into account when deciding whether they think they will like Ascension. While I myself do tend to like games that are more strategic than tactical, I do like Ascension. It is fun and I like the theme, which helps.

THE GRAND TRUNK JOURNEY
GOODS MAKER


Last month, the Essex town of Chelmsford was awarded city status as part of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Local politicians cheered the news, saying that it put 'Chelmsford and Essex on the map'. In the property world, Chelmsford marks the first attractive country town on the A12 corridor that runs up to Norfolk. For City workers, it has long been an alternative to Guildford as a commuter base, and is arguably a better location because of the fast trains that travel direct into Liverpool Street in 36 minutes.
There is a good collection of Edwardian and Victorian family houses in the new city, which are priced between £850,000 and £1 million, and the same money will buy a four- to five-bedroom farmhouse with a few acres in the surrounding country-side-considerably less than what an equivalent house might cost in the classic commuter-belt countryside of Surrey and Hampshire. 'We're really a poor relation of the Home Counties, but this part of Essex has so much going for it,' enthuses Mr Smallman.


Here are some tips on completing your parts of speech worksheet. When providing examples for each part of speech, five one-word answers will suffice for almost all of them. However, we'll need to clarify this for the gerunds. This is basically due to the fact that what you've written can either be used as the main verb in a sentence, that would be the present participle, or can be used as the gerund. For example the word "playing" wouldn't be enough, as it can be used both as the verb or the gerund. So, an example sentence such as "I like playing poker." would suffice rather than simply the word "playing".

Pakistan Pledges Not to Push Out Afghan Refugees
The number of returnees under the program has dropped drastically this year to only 6,000 from around 60,000 in 2015

There has been a police crackdown on the Afghani refugees in Pakistan
The Pakistani Government said that they have no intention of pushing the Afghan refugees out of Pakistan
Pakistan has extended the stay of registered Afghan refugees for another six month, a day before the June 30 deadline was to expire
Recently, there has been a report of a police crackdown on the Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Pakistan government is encouraging them to return to their country. An official of the government had clarified that they did not intend to force them to return home but are merely encouraging them to do so.
A police crackdown in Pakistan has rounded up and deported hundreds of Afghan refugees in recent weeks. But authorities say Afghans with legal refugee status are not being targeted, nor will they be pushed out of the country.
The arrests have mainly taken place in the northwestern border province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, which hosts most of the estimated 1.5 million registered Afghan refugees, in addition to a sizable number of illegal settlers, according to the U.N. refugee agency. Many of them have fled persecution and armed conflict in Afghanistan.

Monitoring the border
The crackdown coincides with stepped up Pakistani calls for the international community to help in the repatriation of Afghan refugees, citing security concerns and financial constraints for hosting them for more than three decades. It also comes at a time when relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have deteriorated because of border tensions.
"We have hosted them for over 30 years, it is time for them to return home in conditions of dignity and honor," said Tariq Fatemi, Pakistani prime minister's key aide on foreign policy matters.
Free to go
But he clarified the government is encouraging Afghan refugees to return to their home and has "no such intention of pushing them out or coercing them out."
"But we are convinced that many of these refugees, particularly those who are undocumented, they could be harboring militants and others, and creating a law and order situation," he said.

Afghan officials said on Wednesday, June 29, Pakistan has extended the stay of registered Afghan refugees for another six month, a day before the June 30 deadline was to expire.
A UNHCR spokeswoman, Dunya Aslam Khan, said her agency has received no reports of any mass arrests or deportations of registered Afghan refugees. They are legally protected, she told VOA, and the agency is able to immediately secure release of documented refugees in case they are arrested.

During a visit to Pakistan last week, the UNHCR Chief Filippo Grandi dismissed Pakistan's assertions that Afghan refugees have become a source of terrorism in the country.
In meetings with Pakistani officials, he stressed the whole refugee population must not be blamed or penalized if a few of them have been involved in criminal acts.
During his trip he also announced an increase in assistance packages for registered Afghan refugees families, who return to Afghanistan under the UNHCR facilitated voluntary return program.

The world seems have to survived the mini-apocalyptic trifecta of 12s and I seemed to have survived my writer's block from yesterday. After I was unable to make progress on the novel, I lay on the bed next to the desk and the dog obligingly curled up next to me. Forced to focus on the book, I finally came up with a plan for today by the time my writing period ran out.
What I am beginning to realize is that I am not going to be able to proceed in the neat, chronological, logical order that I had planned in my notes. Today is going to be devoted to revising some of the earlier chapters so my story can move forward. This is disappointing, because I had my heart set on beginning Chapter 6, but the reason Chapter 6 was not flowing out yesterday was because of some inconsistencies in the previous chapters, and I have to fix that if I want the story to make sense.
Random aside: The angle of light on my keyboard reveals that there are some keys that haven't been getting much use. Just for that, someday I am going to name a character in one of my books Qxzj (pronounced Coczee!).
This entry was posted in Blog on December 13, 2012 by vpdot.
I absolutely LOVE this. Do not lose it. You'll either find a place for this character someday, or Qxzj will be your writer's angel.

A Promising Event for the Future of Environmental Rights: Symposium on Formalizing the Right to a Healthy Environment in Canada
April 5, 2018 Environmental Justice
By: Danielle Gallant, LLM Candidate and Environmental Justice Research Fellow 2017-2018
On February 15th, 2018, a diverse crowd assembled in the Alex Trebek Alumni Hall at the University of Ottawa. Members of Parliament and federal government workers, representatives of environmental NGOs and activists, university professors and students as well as foreign diplomatic staff gathered to address a topic at the convergence of their varied perspectives: the recognition of environmental rights in Canada. The presentations of many distinguished Canadian and international speakers, as well as their panel discussions, fostered stimulating debates and ultimately presented a convincing argument in favour of formalizing these rights as soon as possible.
The Need for Legal Recognition of Environmental Rights in Canada
The importance and urgency of the topic was clearly demonstrated during the event's second panel. Vanessa Gray, an Indigenous land defender from Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Sarnia, gave testimony about some of the consequences of living in Canada's "chemical valley", including the adverse health effects on her community and the constant fear for her safety because of her advocacy. She pointed to Canada's ill-treatment of its Indigenous peoples as being central to the ongoing issue, at a time when the federal government has ostensibly advanced a goal of reconciliation. Kaitlyn Mitchell, a lawyer with Ecojustice litigating the community's case against the Ontario government, raised the environmental justice implications of the disproportionate exposure of the country's marginalized populations to environmental harms, while the same populations have limited access to its benefits. This imbalance could be addressed through formal environmental rights, which could in turn promote equality for the impacted communities and advance the integration of Indigenous laws into the legal system. Managing editor of the National Observer, Mike De Sousa, spoke about the 'Price of Oil' series, an impressive cross-country collaboration of investigative journalism that shines a light on the impacts of the industry on its workers and neighbouring communities. The overarching message was that these are real and concerning issues that already affect Canadians, particularly vulnerable populations, and should therefore be addressed immediately.
The Promise of Environmental Rights
The significant potential that environmental rights represent was another key element discussed throughout the symposium. David Boyd, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, described the environmental rights revolution taking place all over the world throughout the last half century, whereby environmental protection and correlated governmental duties have been enshrined in hundreds of constitutions and statutes. Such inclusions have strengthened environmental policies, decision-making and performance, as well as enabled citizens to hold their governments accountable. However, it is important to recognize that such legal reforms come with their own set of obstacles. Emeritus Professor at George Washington University, Dinah Shelton, discussed many of the technical issues surrounding improving environmental laws and using litigation to ensure their enforcement. She also acknowledged the dilemma in determining when to override governmental decisions through judicial action in democratic societies. In the meantime, some rights-based legal tools are already at our disposal. In a video address, John Knox, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment, said that he has recommended that the UN recognize environmental rights either through general resolution or international treaty, but indicated that it is also possible to 'green' existing human rights with a focus on both procedural and substantive rights. He concluded by urging Canada to consider amending its federal laws to include an explicit recognition of environmental rights.
International Leadership and Success
Within the worldwide movement for the recognition of environmental rights, Canada can find inspiration in the leadership of other jurisdictions. Florence Ferrari, Deputy Head of Mission for the French Embassy in Ottawa, described her country's Environmental Charter as giving constitutional value to an environmental human right. It has inspired France to act domestically, regionally and internationally, such as proposing an innovative Global Pact for the Environment to address the fragmentation of international environmental law. However, the federal government can also look locally to the enshrinement of a right to a healthy environment within the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and the Environment Quality Act. Karine Péloffy, Director of the Quebec Environmental Law Center, explained that these provisions have provided citizens with the tools to demand the enforcement of environmental laws, as proven by the recent case against TransCanada to protect vital beluga habitat. University of Ottawa Associate Professor Nathalie Chalifour spoke about multiple climate litigation success stories throughout the world, from the Urgenda case in the Netherlands to the Leghari decision in Pakistan, where governments were held accountable for inadequate action on the basis of their citizens' environmental rights. Other claims in various jurisdictions have also hinted at the potential and need for such rights, such as the Juliana v. US case focusing on youth and future generations.
Current Opportunities within Canada
Turning back towards Canada, Eric Bertram, Deputy Director of Human Rights and Indigenous Affairs at Global Affairs Canada, highlighted the importance of protecting environmental defenders. Specifically, the department has issued guidelines to help Canadian officials abroad support human rights defenders, including environmental activists. However, the event made it clear that our country needs to address its failure to recognize environmental rights, and current reforms to Canadian environmental legislation offer the perfect opportunity to do so. Pontiac MP Will Amos presented key recommendations from a standing committee report on strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), such as recognizing the right to a healthy environment, recognizing the particular rights of vulnerable populations and Indigenous communities, and the improvement of procedural rights. Fellow MP and NDP deputy critic for environment and climate change, Linda Duncan, who has tabled federal environmental rights bills three times in successive governments, stated that CEPA is only the tip of the iceberg. She called for environmental rights to be included within other legal reforms, and emphasized the need for the participation of the impacted communities in the decision-making process. Professor Lynda Collins of the University of Ottawa commended the CEPA report for being progressive, and emphasized the importance of establishing minimum standards for air and water quality and including an obligation of non-discrimination. She also indicated that applying a human rights approach to CEPA could result in a radical improvement that could then be reproduced with the reform of other Canadian environmental laws.
Throughout the symposium, multiple speakers referenced a poll conducted in 2017 by the Gandalf Group indicating that 92% of Canadians somewhat (20%) or strongly (72%) agree that "[t]he government of Canada should recognize the right of Canadians to a healthy, non-toxic environment". This momentum is evidenced by the success of the Blue Dot movement for environmental rights, as described by Peter Wood, National Campaign Manager for the David Suzuki Foundation. He noted that grassroots organizing efforts have resulted in more than 160 cities and towns in Canada passing resolutions in support of environmental rights, and that these efforts are now being directed at the federal level. As highlighted by University of Ottawa Professor Heather McLeod-Kilmurray, other countries have looked to Canada for inspiration and leadership concerning human rights in the past, and it is now time to bring this energy to the long overdue recognition of environmental rights in Canada.

During 11 months in 2013, firms were awarded public contracts by the state worth CZK 218.5bn in total, i.e. 11.9% less in a year-on-year comparison. If the impact of Public Procurement Law amendment from April 2012 was ignored, the drop would be even higher, 14.9%. Tender prices also decreased in 2013 while the difference between expected and final prices increased considerably. The latest figures indicate that, compared to expected values, realization prices were 26% lower on average.


Discussion in 'Online Brokers' started by PJSal, Aug 22, 2017.
I had a 1.5 USD/leg commission until friday, which is fairly usual commission on TD (although their standard advertise is 6.95USD !!!!). Currently, I have a 1.0 USD/leg without ticket!
I achieved this because I asked for an option fee reduction informing that I will leave TD if they wouldn't reduce it and move to Tastyworks. And it worked!
I have now a 1.0 USD per option leg, which is a 50% discount from my previous rate!
This is an idea for the ones who which to have a rebate on TD options brokerage fees!
Very important, as I am a small account and trade mainly butterflies!
My contact at TD Ameritrade put me in touch with the right person to arrange a group discount yesterday. Hopefully, a group discount will be coming soon for CD members.
shpotts, Srini D, Sanjeev B and 3 others like this.
Hi Tom. This is good! For sure they will do it as they did to me.
Are TDA and TOS the same thing or do they have different commission schedules?
Typically, they are the same. It is possible to have TDA accounts that are NOT TOS compatible -- unclear for this case if commissions may differ. Institutional accounts thru TDA have commissions locked at time account is first funded, and cannot be re-negotiated any longer.
I opened my account with TDA and had no connection/understanding of TOS until recently. However, I have been able to work with TOS support folks twice to get my rates adjusted. YMMV.
I called TDA last week and was able to get down to $5 ticket / $.65 per contract. This was a reduction from $6.95 / $.75 per contract. I basically told them that I would be moving $ over to IB if I couldn't get better commissions.
What is the commission rate you got from TDA?
I got 75cents for index options and 1.90 for index futures - hope to reduce index futures substantially as I had absolutely no history trading futures but unless I can get it to $1, I do not think it will be worth it and will stop trading those.
The reason I trade futures today is because I trade exclusively on my phone. I do look at P&L graph once in a while and more so now than before, but the entirety of order execution and most of order planning (for condors) is on the phone. I want to diversify and I do not want to have 2 many positions (>2) under any one symbol as it gets hard to track and review, so I added futures as one more thing to diversify into but its commissions are very expensive. I think I will be happy with $1 + exchange fees for /ES even though these will be 4X my SPX fees as it reduces my need to think while looking at my phone.
Are you getting $1 per leg including exchange fees (e.g., are you primarily trading SPX or RUT)? Just trying to see if I can negotiate my TOS commissions down a bit.
My Name is Sanjeev and I am new to this forum. Firstly my hello to all the fellow forum members.
I would like to know if TD Ameritrade representative has come back to you with a response on group discount rate ?
I am new to CD and this is my first post!
I am very interested in getting rid of the ticket fee and would really appreciate any tips or tricks to reach out to TD Ameritrade. I currently pay their standard $6.95 + 0.65 and would like to get it down to less than $1 with not ticket.
Tom, please let us know if you heard back from your contact regarding the group price for CD community.
To all who are getting reduced commissions at TD Ameritrade: what is your account size, and what is the volume of your options trading?
I opened my account few months ago and asked them to reduce commission , they reduced it to $4.95 ticket + $.65 per contract, she said that's because I told them I would transfer 100k to my account.
Will they reduce ticket charge if I ask them again?
I have gone through 4 cycles of reductions : 2 of them were through subscriptions that helped reduce, and other 2 were my own initiative. Getting ready for 5th reduction as they said they can relook at future commissions once I have either build some track record with them, or show it from other brokers (60 days is what they need).
Keep asking with more data, more activity or more threats to leave.
Just chatted with them, they could only offered me $1.5 per contract.
I mentioned IB, they typed "TDA does not compete directly with firms on price alone".
At beginning they actually want me to add more funds ( isn't 100k good enough for a good price?). I think I will ask them again next year, otherwise I will move to IB.
I am not sure they are that scared.
My commission rate was not just based on the amount of capital in the account it was also the amount of contracts traded.
Your current commission is better than what you will get at IB if you trade predominantly SPX as many of us do after factoring in exchange fees and all that. IB's risk graph analysis is hardly usable. Submitting, closing complex orders is very simple with TOS but a nightmare at IB. Many things to consider outside commissions. I used IB platform for one of my accounts for 8 yrs and finally quit.

Kind One by Laird Hunt

Kind One by Laird Hunt. Coffee House Press. 192pp, $14.95.
Readers who go into Laird Hunt's Kind One looking for kindly characters are presented with an array of unlikely candidates. It simply cannot be Linus Lancaster, a farmer with delusions of grandeur (his farm is named Paradise) who beats his wife Ginny, rapes his young female slaves Cleome and Zinnia, and whips Alcofibras, the slave who tends his garden, to death. Yet, Lancaster has his own problems: on page 84 he is dead of a pig-sticker in the back of the neck, which, after all of his high-handed carrying on, feels like a kindness.
For a time it seems possible that Ginny Lancaster will be the kind one. Hers is clearly the central narrative in this novel of five connected narratives that begins with an unnamed well-digger and ends with a wealthy landowner named Lucious Wilson. The title could very well be referring to Ginny, who, tricked into becoming Mrs. Lancaster through false advertising and trucked off to Kentucky at the age of 14, is initially a friend to her new slaves, the sisters Zinnia and Cleome. But once Lancaster commences with his nightly "visits" to the girls and announces that Ginny is now "Mother" to them all, she abandons kindness in her humiliation and rage, slapping the girls as they bathe, hitting them with cooking spoons, and worse.
After Lancaster is murdered, Cleome and Zinnia take their revenge on Ginny, chaining her in a tool shed. During this time, Zinnia seethes with a barely contained rage and frequently threatens Ginny with the pig-sticker. In contrast, the now-pregnant Cleome seems the kindly one, but eventually it is Zinnia who provides Ginny with a way of escape.
In time, the aforementioned Lucious Wilson takes Ginny in. Wilson is the kindest character in the book. He falls in love with the distant Ginny and wants to marry her, but it becomes apparent that she will never really be free of her past as a tormented wife and abusive slaveholder. While important to the narrative—without him Ginny may not have had the stability to get her story down on paper—Wilson gets only a few pages to himself. He's probably not the kind one.
In fact, it is doubtful that there is a kind one that this story is about. The title is missing an article, after all. It's not about the kind one or a kind one but something else.
Laird Hunt has a reputation for a being a writer of difficult books. His 2006 novel, The Exquisite, took as its muse The Anatomy of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, the Rembrandt painting discussed at the beginning of W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn. In The Exquisite,a Dr. Tulp and an Aris Kindt (the corpse at the center of Rembrandt's anatomy lesson) inhabit not only two seemingly unrelated narratives but also share traits with characters in Hunt's first novel, The Impossibly. Lest this précis of Hunt's "difficulty" be off-putting, Hunt has said in an interview with Bookslut that "The Exquisite doesn't so much call for readers to solve puzzles, but, in the face of multiple vectors of narrative, etc., to do some puzzling." In other words, Laird's books don't require anything of the reader other than the willingness to go with the flow of the text and think about it afterward. In his follow-up to The Exquisite, Ray of the Star, Hunt wrote in long, chapter-sentences which made it difficult not to read the book but to stop reading it. All books should be so difficult.
Kind One is just as difficult to stop reading. Rather than propelling us through the narrative with the help of formal constraints, it presents us with five narrators telling parts of the same story. No one narrative is satisfying in itself but the combination leads to something like closure. The longest of these narratives, also entitled "Kind One," is composed of Ginny's memories of her life in Lancaster's Paradise. The memories intersect each other, doubling back from time to time to recount the same events with a different focus.
Each memory starts on its own page, a device that often leaves plenty of white space during Ginny's recollections. The effect is both of a narrator taking time to collect her thoughts or putting down memories as they occur to her.
I read Kind One for the first time last November, and when I finished, I was sure of three things: it was a book to read again and again, Hunt was a name I'd scan for in bookstores, and Kind One could be the basis of a fine film.
Kind One is a book of stark images, many of which would transfer directly to film without losing any of their power: Cleome hanging from a rope in Linus Lancaster's well, Ginny bringing a paring knife to bed in order to freshen up a scar on her ankle, a piece of black bark with an eye looking out of it. Hunt isn't writing with the screen in mind—his language is much more than dialogue and action—but Kind One is a quick read with recurrent images. A day or so after finishing the book it was hard not to feel that I'd seen a film of it.
In the opening section of the book—called "Overture"—a man digs a well. As he is finishing it, his baby falls in and dies. The death is clearly coming from a long way off thanks to sentences like these: "It rained the next day and the one after that. At first I tried to continue my work, deep below the earth, but the rain grew strong and the walls slick, and I knew I had lowered myself into a foolishness I might not emerge from." After the death of his child, the narrator goes back into the well. "There were fresh earthworms floating in the water," he tells us, "but I did not save them. Instead I reached down and pulled up handfuls of pebbles and put them in my pockets. Instead I moaned and tore at my beard." The narrator tells us what he did and did not do in his grief, and subtly sets up the theme of decisions made and forks taken that occupies the characters in the rest of the book.
Another well figures prominently in the next section of the novel, "Kind One." Down in the darkness of Lancaster's well is Cleome, who is hiding from her switch-wielding master. When Lancaster tires of looking for Cleome, Ginny finds her there and asks what she'd done to make Lancaster so angry. It turns out that Cleome had spilled coffee on his shoe and caused him to trip when she tried to clean it up. Ginny laughs and says, "Sounds like maybe you deserved some switching." Cleome does not laugh, and Ginny can feel "a cold coming up with her eyeballs out of the dark."
With this cold comes a memory of the well-digger's dead child:
Later, even though my wife asked me not to, I filled in the well. Our baby must be properly buried, I told my wife. She must be safe. And it did seem to me, during my labors and long after them, that my child was still down there, that she was crying and clenching her fists above the colored pebbles, that she was not buried safe and dry in the loamy dirt beside the stream.
This scene recalls the drowned ghost of Japanese drama and horror films, the vengeful ghost that will not cross over to the other side due to the circumstances of her death. I'm sure part of reason I could see Kind One as a film was because some of the genre tropes I've absorbed over my lifetime were activated by Hunt's prose. But it's not just me. In "
Post-Pulp Spaces: On Laird Hunt" Tobias Carroll thinks that some of Ginny's punishment at the hands of Cleome and Zinnia seems "like something out of an old EC horror comic."
A later passage strengthens the horror of Kind One. It comes when Ginny is shackled in the shed and sees the dead Alcofibras:
Then he stood still and looked at me, and looked at me and looked at me, and mouths grew up over his arms and legs and each one of them opened and all of them wailed at once, then went closed and quiet. Alcofibras then came up closer to me, his knees climbing to either side of him and his hands hitting together, and he leaned in close and when he did, ears came out of his forehead and his cheeks and his neck and his chest, until they were on every part of him and even the ears had grown ears and the ears were shaking, and I found myself sobbing because all they had to listen to was my poor breath and my poor heart, and all his mouth had had to wail to and all that eye had had to look upon was my poor self, shackled in the dark.
This is one of the scenes I saw days later, directed in the theater of my mind by Guillermo Del Toro.
In a recent interview in Bookforum, Hunt makes a parenthetical remark about how the title of his novel and Ginny's section of the narrative is related to the Greek euphemism for the vengeful Furies of myth. Afraid of mentioning them directly, the Greeks referred to them as "the kindly ones."
Thus, readers of Kind One need not look for kindly characters at all; it is a novel of checked rage finally spilling over. But Hunt also looks at what life is like after rage peaks. In the "Candle Story"section of Kind One, Zinnia goes on a search for Ginny in 1911, 50 years after she and the pregnant Cleome left Paradise and a chained-up Ginny. When Prosper, her nephew, asks who Ginestra Lancaster is, she tells us more about her relationship with Ginny:
There is a scar on my face that leads from my left temple to the bottom of my left cheek. It was no allowed to heal properly and even all these years later it looks raw. When he was a small boy, and one or the other of us sad and looking for comfort, Prosper took the habit of tracing that scar, gently, with his finger, like it was the trail he needed to follow to get us to where we needed to go. Sitting in that cart, under that tree, I took up his big hand and ran his long finger down that scar and said, "Ginestra Lancaster is the one who gave me that."
Prosper sat silent with his finger on my cheek. There were frogs at work in some nearby pond and big black dragonflies haunted the trees. Prosper looked off into the green and blue and ran his finger up past my eye then back down again.
"And why are we looking for Ginestra Lancaster now?" he asked.
"Because I have something to return to her," I said.
"Hate returns hate, Aunt Z," said Prosper.
I took his hand and held my face against it for a long time.
Zinnia does not want to return hate but a gift Ginny had given her years earlier, for as she tells Lucious Wilson, she'd already gotten her use out of it.
Kind One acts as a sort of antidote to the kind of stylized rage we see in the work of a storyteller like Quentin Tarantino, whose recent movie Django Unchained also deals with slaves and their revolt. Unlike Tarantino, Hunt does more than use genre to make a statement about slavery and race in America. And it's not that Hunt raises genre from disreputable depths with literariness, either; rather, he uses genre tropes (e.g., the drowned ghost) sparingly, to dig deeper into the reader's consciousness.
As a film, Kind One could work rather well with a voiceover from one of the narrators. Prosper would be the most likely narrator, as his narrative takes place in relatively recent year of 1930 and represents the product, as it were, of the novel's combined rage and kindness. I'm sure whoever made it would be tempted to have the whole thing be a series of flashbacks told by the impossibly old Prosper in 1968.
But telling it as a set of nested stories with no voiceover may be better yet. Perhaps the audience should be asked to puzzle out the connection between these stories, to wrestle with why it is named Kind One with so little kindness in it.

We are strong proponents for marine protection and pollution reduction in the marine environment, both within Canadian waters and on the high seas. These measures should serve to reduce marine debris and protect marine diversity from human impacts, as well as maintain livelihoods and help mitigate the long-term effects of climate change. We achieve this through advocating for minimum standards for marine protection, multi-stakeholder and community-based approaches and using appropriate tools to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of marine protection.
We are strong proponents for a network of marine protected areas or MPAs, particularly given the commitments Canada has made at the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 to protect 10% of our marine and coastal areas by 2020. Currently, we are working with other ENGOs across Canada such as the David Suzuki Foundation, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and West Coast Environmental Law on raising awareness regarding the need for protected areas and pressuring the Canadian Government to move ahead towards 10% protection by 2020 by creating effective protected areas. Outreach to the fishing industry is occurring so that there is more understanding and less push back on spatial protection measures.
For the last 10 years, the Ecology Action Centre has been involved in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) where we advocate for the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems, including deep sea corals, sponges and sea-pens from the impacts of bottom fishing. We work together with the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, to ensure that commitments made through the United Nations General Assembly Sustainable Fisheries Resolutions are fulfilled. As of 2017, 380,511 square kilometers within the NAFO area have been closed to bottom fishing activities. We also advocate for sustainable fisheries management of deep sea fisheries, including bycatch limits and precautionary harvest levels as well as support the efforts of NAFO to adopted an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, including total catch ceilings based on ecosystem productive capacity.
The high seas represents almost 50% of the planet and currently there are large gaps in biodiversity protection. The Ecology Action Centre supports a new legally binding agreement under the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention to allow for marine protected areas, environmental impact assessments and access and benefit sharing in the high seas – outside of the 200 mile limit. We are an active member of the High Seas Alliance, a coalition of 35 non-government organizations and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We work to raise awareness of the need for a new agreement and advocate for Canada to be a leader in high seas protection.
