In addition, he performs as actual musics drummer and percussionist. He accompanied the Fantazio Gang (Paris) and The Dead Brothers (until 2003), and played experimental music.
He also created numerous musical compositions for the theatre (the Schauspielhaus Zurich, the Tojo Bern, the Théâtre de Carouge, the Théâtre du Grütli Geneva) and composes for TV documentary (The game of death, broadcasted in march 2010 on the French TV France 2).
He functions as artistic director and programmer for the Fondation Suisse – Pavillon Le Corbusier in Paris and the Festival Eternal Tour.
In 2010-2011, he will be member in the Swiss Institute of Roma.
This composition is inspired by Ingemar Bergman's movie "The Seventh Seal" (1957) where a medieval knight, coming back from a crusade, faces the personification of death in a game of chess.
The film, the traces it left, the questions and reflections it raises becomes the ground upon which this work was constructed.
The seven parts forming this piece can be seen as distinct states, enlightening a certain situation without aiming to produce the effect of an actual development. Their interconnection is an odyssey, a search for an inaccessible destination with an inevitable finality.
Like an impossibility, death is symbolised by the note b-natural but is never to be encountered within the seven parts. It is approached but never heard; is forgotten but returns - until it is finally played by the guitar in the ritardando of a shrill glissando. The double bass, though an extreme opposite, continues downwards beyond its lowest note before turning into pure vibration and finally dying away.
"Oscura luce" expresses the idea of passage: a movement guiding us from hell's vestibule to the eternal light, to paradisiacal beatitude. The work is based on three short text extracts taken from individual canto's of the three sections of Dante's Divine Comedy (Hell, Purgatory, Paradise).
The compositional approach is based on the alternation within a simple cell - a tremolo of a quartertone and its "resolution" - a held note. The whole piece develops from the alternation and mixture of these two states: excitement and static. The commitments arising from a score with four non-divided voices led to a reflection upon possible harmonic and melodic relations and became the source of the musical discourse of the piece. In relation to the duality movement/rest stands a relative simple development starting from a unisono in D flat to one in F natural and finally a third in H natural. The melodic and harmonic development produces from one point to the next a series of traces and ways where the spoken word de-constructs itself into the repetition of phonemes in order to reconstruct itself and become formal.
pere me si va tra la perduta gente.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate."
Teh stands as an onomatopoeia, a tag or the initial phoneme of the word theory like in Theory of the Young Girl (Premiers matériaux pour une théorie de la jeune fille, Tiqqun, Edition Mille et une nuits, 2001). It is a piece of a word appearing and disappearing in voice, song, breath and respiration. A slowly dissolving aspirated h. A gliding. A representation of our capacity to contest an existing order. Appropriation and re-appropriation of spaces of freedom. Monitoring of silence. A proposition an objection or an answer " [...] and finally the debacle of the impossibility to return beyond time ".
The music of Teh evolves in a discontinued manner and explores the limits of sound with pianissimo tuttis, moments of silence and explosions. Nevertheless, the musical material creates in this somewhat scattered context a stylistic and formal unity where the voice is not so much located as a soloist but as an instrumentalist. The complex sounds used in this piece scrambles the possibilities of understanding the text and encourages a personal way of listening.
Haiku11 is a piece which brings a string quartet together with an improvisator. A free musical discourse evolves between the written string parts and a series of short Japanese poems by Ryokân (1758-1831).
"In-between" is an undefined situation or potential place. This "in between" is defined as a more or less stable space, a physical, mental, geographical or temporal distance. It is an expansion without anchoring, a theatre of tension, a possibility for relaxation.
The music appears as respiration. Sounds develop, fade and disappear. The movement of a scale emerges, oscillating between two notes and two instrumental groups. Fixed in the middle of the stage, a string quartet exchanges some sequences with the orchestra and produces looping effects, sound extensions or muffling. Inside the accelerating breath new elements evolve, arrange themselves, clash together, create cascades and stop in resonance.
The listener is invited to inhabit this "in between" and to bring it to life through curious listening. By receiving acoustic images and by assembling silences and vibrating notes, the ear will make an unexpected journey.


We dive deep into how water plays a part in our travel lives.
Throughout August, we've been tackling a broad topic: water. Yes, all of it. We're talking oceans, lakes, rivers, puddles, showers, cruises, coastal towns, and more, all because water has been scientifically proven to make us happier. Covering a diverse range of H20-related topics, we've looked at the mysterious healing power of India's Ganges River; explained how to successfully bareboat through the Mediterranean; and rounded up our favorite new waterfront neighborhoods. You can find a full list of our stories here.
That's why on this week's Travelogue podcast, we brought in two crack reporters to tell us all about the physical and psychological benefits of water known as the "blue mind," as well as how to best explore the world's oceans. (Much to our surprise, getting scuba certified isn't as difficult as it sounds.) Plus, one editor breaks down why diving to see the ocean's wonders is not only an awe-inspiring experience but an important one, as coral and oceanic diversity continues to be threatened by rising sea temperatures. We discuss all of this and more in... 32 minutes.

Chester County Democrats mourn 'major player' killed in fiery Rte. 202 crash
by Diane Mastrull, Posted: November 12, 2017
Adam Swope
The Chester County Democratic Committee was reeling Sunday over the death of Adam Swope, an activist described as a "major, major player" in the organization who was killed Saturday in a fiery crash on Route 202 in Chester County involving nine vehicles, including a tractor-trailer.
"It's absolutely tragic," said Brian McGinnis, chairman of the Chester County Democratic Committee. "He was an unbelievable person and one of the best, most brilliant political minds I've ever met."
Swope, 38, of Malvern, was chair of the Willistown/Malvern Democrats and executive assistant to Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone, who is now a candidate for lieutenant governor. She met Swope in 2005 when he managed her campaign for county controller and "orchestrated an unprecedented 48.19 percent of the vote that year," Cozzone wrote in a tribute posted Sunday afternoon on the Chester County Democratic Committee's Facebook page.
"Words cannot describe the loss to this world of a man so incredibly bright and kind and funny," Cozzone said, adding that second only to her husband, Swope knew her best. "He knew before I did how I would react or feel about a situation."
Cozzone described Swope, son to Kathy and Bob Swope of Reading, and a graduate of West Chester and Villanova Universities, as "an eternal optimist who loved his parents, his Nana, cats, the Steelers, Game of Thrones, his fraternity, musicals, weird strategy games, Super Mario, Sunny in Philadelphia, the Daily Show, and politics."
"Our hearts," Cozzone said, "are broken."
Your guide to the wild world of politics
Just last week, Swope was rejoicing with party officials at the Social Lounge in West Chester over what McGinnis called "historic" victories in Tuesday's election. That included Democratic candidates winning election to four countywide offices: clerk of courts, controller, coroner, and treasurer.
"He was instrumental in our success this year," McGinnis said of Swope. "We're going to somehow have to try to fill that void, and I don't know how we are going to do it."
Similar sentiment was expressed on the Chester County Democratic Committee's website by Dick Bingham, chair of the CCDC Zone Leader Caucus.
"I am extremely saddened to report that Adam Swope, Zone Leader, Zone 16 [Malvern and Willistown], died yesterday in a tragic automobile accident," Bingham wrote. "Few details are available at this time, but I am sure I speak for us all when I say how shocking and devastating this news is. Adam will be truly missed by us all."
Also posted there was this tribute by the Chester County Democratic Committee: "Adam has been a hero among activists and organizers."
According to a report issued Sunday afternoon by West Goshen Township Police, Swope was killed when his vehicle, traveling south on Route 202, was struck by a northbound tractor-trailer carrying frozen turkeys that had overturned onto the southbound lanes near South Matlack Street and caught fire shortly before 12:30 p.m. Police did not disclose what kind of vehicle Swope was driving or any additional details about the accident, including whether charges are likely.
Police reported "several minor to moderate injuries" along with Swope's death. They are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has video or photographs of it to contact the West Goshen Police Department Traffic Safety Division at 610-696-7400 or trafficsafety@westgoshen.org.

How Many Times Has Steve Earle Been Arrested?
Sterling Munksgard/Shutterstock
By Wendy Mead/April 30, 2022 2:59 pm EST
Legendary singer-songwriter Steve Earle has experienced tremendous ups and downs during his long career. He released the album "Guitar Town" in 1986, which proved to be a critical and commercial success for the then young performer (via Rolling Stone). What his fans didn't know was that the rising star was also battling some serious substance abuse issues. And Earle's drug problem became a contributing factor in many of his legal woes.
Born on January 17, 1955 (per Britannica), Earle grew up in Texas, surrounded by music. His father, who worked as an air traffic controller, performed in barbershop quartets, and one of his uncles was a gifted guitarist, reported Magnet magazine. Earle taught himself how to play guitar by listening to records. The first song he learned was the Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper." He started performing at clubs at 14. Earle was even younger than that when he began using drugs, trying heroin for the first time at the age of 13. Making music and taking drugs became two of Earle's main interests.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available. Visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website or contact SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

At 15, Earle ran away from home in search of his musical hero, Townes Van Zandt, a country and folk icon known for his heavy drinking (via Magnet magazine). Earle ended up in Nashville, where he worked for years before he got his big break with his song "Guitar Town" (posted on YouTube) in 1986. Earle soon had his first brush with the law. According to the Dallas Observer, he was charged with assaulting a police officer in 1987 after fighting with an off-duty officer who was working security at his New Year's Eve show.
Unfortunately, Earle's success only fueled his growing drug problem. He amassed an impressive guitar collection, but he ended up selling them to support his habit. As Earle explained to Magnet magazine, his need for drugs and alcohol eventually surpassed his commitment to his music. And though he wasn't charged for some of his actions, he admitted that he carried a gun and hung around criminals. Earle even said that "I robbed a couple of drug dealers."

As Earle sank deeper into his addiction, he stopped making music (via the Los Angeles Times). He was arrested in 1993 for heroin possession, and he was picked again the following year for having crack and drug paraphernalia on him. According to Magnet magazine, Earle failed to appear in court to face the charges against him, and he received a one-year jail sentence on the heroin charge. "Going to jail is what saved my life," Earle said.
Earle ended up spending a month in jail and then he was sent to rehab. While in treatment, he started writing songs again. One of those tunes was "Goodbye" (also on YouTube), which appeared on his next album, "Train a Comin'" (1995), per AllMusic. Since getting sober, Earle has remained focused on his creative endeavors, from making new music to writing fiction. His novel, "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," came out in 2011. More recently, Earle put his musical and storytelling skills to create the songs for "Coal Country" (via The Public), a musical that explored the deadly 2010 mining explosion in West Virginia that killed 29 workers.

Tax Reform: 5 Things You Must Know This Week
As tax reform debates continue in Washington, here are five issues that have come up in the past week alone.
Oct 27, 2017 10:29 AM EDT
Over the past week tax reform has dominated the political cycle in Washington D.C.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives took a necessary step toward tax reform when it approved $1.5 trillion in deficit spending for tax cuts on a near-party line vote. This has caused significant pushback from Democrats, who have resurrected the GOP's Obama-era language of fiscal responsibility to criticize the bill.
At the same time, the particulars of the plan remain unfinished. Although the House has approved the spending Republican leaders are still drafting the actual bill, with some reports suggesting that they plan to unveil it on November 1.
As the tax reform debate continues in Washington, here are a few of the most important developments over the past week.
The $9,000 Claim
The Council of Economic Advisors has recently predicted that cutting corporate taxes to 20% will cause household incomes to grow anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000 per year. Their argument is that allowing investors to keep a larger share of profits will lead to a surge of capital into the market. This will, advocates argue, lead to an increase in business investment and productivity, in turn creating a more competitive labor marketplace and a trickle-down increase in wages all around.
There is no reason to believe that this will happen.
In fiscal year 2017, the U.S. Treasury collected $297 billion in corporate income taxes. According to FactCheck.org, raising the average household income by only $4,000 would cost more than $503 billion per year. This amount calculates only the money directly flowing to those households, not the net economic activity it would take to push that money down in the form of increased pay after accounting for corporate spending, profits and dividends.
To realize advocates' most conservative claim, this cut would have to generate new economic activity worth more than twice as much as the total pre-reform corporate income tax base. No tax cut in history has generated this kind of growth, and steadily increasing corporate profits over the past 30 years have tracked most closely with the expansion of executive pay and shareholder compensation rather than wage growth.
Increasing corporate liquidity, on its own, does not necessarily lead to wage growth, and few credible economists believe it will happen in this case either.
Foreign Shareholders
Foreign shareholders will take home approximately three times as much in tax relief as American households.
This is the conclusion of new, widely celebrated research by the Tax Policy Center's Steve Rosenthal. In his work, Rosenthal finds that foreign investors own over a third of U.S. corporate stock. With a 15-point corporate rate cut they will collect a short-term, highly predictable benefit of approximately $70 billion per year compared to the estimated $23 billion per year in tax relief planned for the middle class. As Paul Krugman points out, this amounts to $700 billion over the likely ten-year lifetime of this bill.
"The question of who wins from slashing corporate taxes has been obscured by a debate over what happens in the long run," said Rosenthal. "Some economists argue that in the long run a small benefit from the cutting of corporate taxes will go to the workers. Other economists argue that in the long run a large benefit from cutting corporate taxes will go to the workers."
But, he said, "That's quite a tenuous chain of events that need to occur, and those occur over many, many years. In the meantime what we do know in the short run is that the winners are stockholders both U.S. and foreign, and there are a surprisingly large number of foreign stockholders."
As Rosenthal explained, one of the biggest problems with trickle-down logic is that it operates over a long, speculative time frame. It will take years, if ever, for workers to see wage gains from corporate tax cuts. The benefits to shareholders will kick in almost immediately.
The 401(k) Deduction
Congress and the White House have sent increasingly confusing signals on the fate of the 401(k) deduction.
In order to offset some of the costs of tax cuts Republican leadership has discussed capping the deduction for 401(k) contributions at $2,400 per year. According to Scott Tucker, a retirement planner and owner of Scott Tucker Solutions, the result would make saving for retirement harder, while pushing individuals away from traditional 401(k)s and into Roth retirement accounts.
"If you're just the average couple working today[and] if you have a 401(k), I think you need to be concerned with preserving the tax deduction for it," he said.
"The individual, it could make them pay more taxes on their income," he said. "It could make the 401(k) less attractive, and it may make folks looking at companies that offer a 401(k) program, for that to be less attractive."
This would also work chiefly to rearrange Treasury revenue instead of raise it. Where traditional 401(k)s tax income when workers withdraw it during retirement, workers invest in a Roth retirement vehicle with post-tax dollars and pay nothing on the gains. As a result, capping the 401(k) deduction would raise government revenue in the short term, only to lose it down the road when current taxpayers withdraw money from Roth-focused retirement accounts.
For individuals, however, it would mean a functional increase during their working years and disincentivize retirement savings and employer retirement benefits. This would all, as TheStreet's Robert Powell has reported, serve to worsen the already-extant U.S. retirement crisis.
SALT Deductions
Planners have also sent mixed signals on the fate of the State and Local Tax deduction, or SALT.
Individuals who pay state income taxes can deduct it from their federal income tax returns. As an additional offset, Republican leadership has discussed eliminating this deduction.
That would have no impact on taxpayers who live in zero-income tax states. It would mean a potentially substantial tax increase on people who live in high income tax states such as New York and California.
"You probably want to pay attention if you're in a high income tax state," said Tucker. "Folks who currently enjoy large deductions on 401(k)'s… and folks who live in high state income tax states. Those two things, if you live in New York and you have a high 401k you better look out because you don't know what you're going to get."
A few states like Texas and Florida don't charge any income tax. Those taxpayers will see no difference. Someone who lives in Montana, however, pays 6.9 percent to the state government. If lawmakers repeal the SALT deduction that taxpayer would see their eligible income increase by the same percent. This could be enough to move taxpayers into a new bracket, a particularly significant concern given reformers' plan for fewer brackets with larger gaps between them.
Simplification and Deductions
Americans spend roughly 8.9 billion man hours and over $400 billion per year on tax preparation. As a result advocates of the current Republican effort have pushed for two forms of simplification: reducing deductions and reducing the number of tax brackets.
Reducing the number of tax brackets will not make individual tax preparation easier. Reducing the number of tax deductions might.
The complexity of tax preparation comes from figuring out an individual taxpayer's eligible income. During this process, taxpayers and accountants have to parse deductions, carve-outs, business expenses and many other elements of the U.S. code. This requires time and expertise, the latter of which is often beyond citizens who have not made a study of the issue. Streamlining this system could, indeed, save taxpayers billions of dollars and hours in preparation each year.
Brackets apply after the taxpayer has completed this process, at which point there are no more calculations to do. The IRS publishes an annual chart on which taxpayers can look up their taxable income and find how much they owe. This process will remain the same regardless of the number of tax brackets, whether seven, three or 100.
Taxpayers should pay attention to the context of discussions surrounding simplification. Reducing the number of deductions might make tax season easier. Reducing the number of brackets, for the taxpayer, will not.
Closeted, rushed processes tend to lead to errors.
"What we have here is a deliberate effort to keep as much behind closed doors as possible and a high speed race through the Congress to allow few opportunities for outsiders to react," said Rosenthal, who called the current process both "disturbing" and "really unusual."
"I'm really troubled as a process man," he said. "Apart from the content of the tax bill, that process itself is going to lead to very poor quality. That means you're going to have compliance issues for taxpayers, you're going to have problems for tax attorneys. You're going to have [unintentional] loopholes."
Historically, according to Rosenthal, a major tax effort takes at least a year and a half of public debate. That process allows legislators to research the issue, gather feedback from the public and private stakeholders, and put as many eyes on the project as possible. This allows everyone to weigh in on the implications of the new plan.
It also allows legislators to catch their own mistakes.
"We didn't mind if somebody complained that their taxes were going up if Congress intended that," Rosenthal said of his time working on similar legislation. "But if someone's taxes were going up or they were going to get hammered by accident, we wanted to know about that."
Congress uses the tax code to accomplish many things, far more than simply raising revenue for the government. Among just a few goals, taxes help focus the economy, create jobs, redistribute wealth, and incentivize education and skill-building. This has necessarily lead to a complicated set of laws with many moving and mutually interactive pieces. Changing that code, even in the name of simplification, can have unintended consequences.
As reform moves towards passage, taxpayers should watch carefully for oversights and issues that legislators might have missed. As Rosenthal emphasized, lawmakers are only human. They make mistakes too. The risk of that is heightened in a closed-door environment of urgency.

Still Winning is the sixth studio album by American R&B singer Johnny Gill. It was released on October 11, 2011, through independent imprint Notifi Records.  Gill's first album of solo material since 1996's Let's Get the Mood Right, it peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 and number 4 on the Billboard R&B chart. Three singles were released from the album: "In the Mood", "It Would Be You" and "Just the Way You Are". In addition to original songs, the album closes with a cover of the Paul McCartney and Wings song "My Love."

Critical reception
The album received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic rated it two stars out of five, stating that "not much [was] memorable" about the album and that Gill often sounded "distanced". Chris Rizik of SoulTracks stated that the album was inconsistent and had a "forgettable start", but went on to state that the album improved mid-disc and then concluded that the album was "mildly recommended" to consumers.

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) provides an essential value to the nation, empowering the Hispanic community with awareness, access, support and development in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
SHPE's national conference is the organization's key opportunity to message publicly SHPE's value to the world, highlighting the positive impacts the organization has made to the community while preparing existing members to recruit new members. Moreover, the national conference provides SHPE the opportunity to demonstrate its leadership in STEM.
SHPE has been a client of Solsken's since 2012.
Solsken provides a range of communications and marketing services to SHPE. Our team has supported with fundraising, public relations, social media and event promotion. The largest component of our contract has been to support with the national conference, which runs annually for a week in locations across the U.S.
Working closely with SHPE's Events & Marketing team we develop a customized approach to ensure more than 5,000 Latino STEM students and professional converge for the largest Latino technical conference in the nation. This has included a wide range of tactics including instituting an email marketing campaign, through aggressive public relations and media relations support, social media and development of videos.
Based on Solsken's approach to marketing SHPE's national conference, we supported SHPE by driving more than 5,000 registrants to the national conference year after year. Our e-mail campaigns have produced up to a 42.2% open rate resulting in 9.5% click through, much higher than industry average. Solsken supported SHPE with an email campaign. Results indicated that on average, 30% of recipients saw the message being promoted.
Solsken's support with SHPE's social media also saw a jump in activity. For instance in 2013, Facebook averaged a reach of 400-900 reach per post. Conference events reached stakeholders in the thousands; such as the Extreme Engineering video reached 2,000, Career Fair Ribbon Cutting 1,400. Twitter was used throughout the conference and the #SHPE2013 along generated 1,258 tweets, October 31, 2013 was the height of activity with 364 tweets.
Through the use of marketing tactics that resonates with the target audience, and spending the time to uniquely identify what the audience wants us to serve them, we were able to adapt our e-blast campaign and social media to drive effective results year after year.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
Introduced by Assembly Member Daly
(Coauthor: Coauthors: Assembly Member Members Petrie-Norris and Rodriguez)
An act to add Chapter 14 (commencing with Section 11857) to Part 2 of Division 10.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to public health.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1779, as amended, Daly. Recovery residences.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation by the State Department of Health Care Services of adult alcoholism and drug abuse recovery and treatment facilities for adults. Existing law defines a facility for those purposes to mean a premise, place, or building that provides residential nonmedical services to adults who are recovering from drug or alcohol abuse or who need drug or alcohol recovery treatment or detoxification services.
This bill would establish, and require the department to adopt and implement, minimum standards for counties seeking to use state receiving public funding to offer for recovery residences, as defined. The bill would also require a state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) to deny an application for, or deny or revoke the recognition, registration, or certification of, and require a county behavioral health department to terminate a contract with, a recovery residence under certain circumstances, including if the recovery residence fails to meet the minimum standards. The bill would also require a county behavioral health administrator that has documented evidence that a recovery residence under contract is not operating in compliance with NARR standards or a specified federal standard, as described, to report these findings to the department and to the NARR affiliate. By increasing the duties of county behavioral health administrators, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The bill would require the department to report to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2025, the number and types of complaints received by certifying entities the county behavioral health department and the department, the status of complaints received, and the geographic concentration of reported complaints. The bill would also include legislative findings and declarations.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Digest Key
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NOYES
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) (1) Substance use disorder is ranked in the top five clinically preventable burdens on health care spending.
(2) The level of health care services used by substance use disorder patients before receiving treatment is more than double that of the general population. It has been shown that after 12 months of treatment of substance use disorders, the levels of health care services received return to almost average.
(3) An estimated 4 to 5 years is necessary for persons experiencing the chronic disease of addiction to reach a full, sustained recovery, and the first 30 to 90 days after initial treatment are the most critical for preventing relapse, making it imperative that recovery residences be expanded as a means of reducing costs associated with multiple treatment episodes.
(4) There are an estimated 3.5 million persons with diagnosable substance use disorders in California and a limited number of available recovery residences to effectively provide healthy living environments for long-term recovery.
(5) The need for quality recovery residence housing will continue to rise throughout the next decade.
(b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this act, to identify best practices for recovery residences that contract with counties and receive public funds so that all of the following may occur:
(1) Access to legitimate recovery residence housing can be expanded.
(2) Those currently living in recovery residences may see an improved experience a level of safety and a reduction in deaths due to opioid abuse and overdose. by making federally approved opioid overdose reversal medication available.
(3) Local governments can recognize quality recovery residences for their valuable contributions to the continuum of care in addiction treatment and recovery.

Energy generation is the sector responsible for the most greenhouse gas emissions. But what if instead of emitting CO2, we could generate low-cost energy while also giving off usable heat, gas, and fertilizer? And actually capturing CO2 for long-term storage? Let's talk about biomass. Biomass energy can be kind of problematic. Cutting down trees to burn them isn't sustainable. But what about dead biomass? Trees naturally lose branches from time to time, or they die and fall to the forest floor where they begin to decompose. At this point, insects will begin to eat the dead wood and release it's carbon as CO2. 10.9 gigatons of CO2 are released this way per year!. That's a lot, but remember it's part of Earth's natural carbon cycle. Accumulating deadwood can also be fuel for forest fires. But what if instead of emitting all that CO2, we could capture it instead? This is possible through a process called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is what happens when dry organic material gets very hot in the absence of oxygen. This can be done with any dry organic material — which is called a "feedstock". [[image0]]
Example Pyrolysis Process
First the feedstock is loaded into two chambers. The lower chamber is burned to generate head, this initiates the process. Once the feedstock is hot enough it begins to pyrolyze and give off gas. Some of the gas can be redirected for storage or use. The rest is burned to keep the reaction going. As a result of this process we get heat, biochar, and potash. The heat can be used for cooking, making hot water, or heating your home.
Pyrolysis Carbon Capture
The biochar captures about 30 to 50 percent of the carbon from the feedstock. Biochar is an almost pure carbon which can be used as a soil additive to improve the soil's ability to hold water and nutrients. Used in this way, the carbon will be safely sequestered for the long term. Potash, also known as ash, is produced as well. This product is high in potassium which is a key fertilizer. Both the biochar and the potash can be returned to where the feedstock is grown, completing the cycle and improving soil quality.
Alternative Pyrolysis Feedstocks
Other feedstocks can be used as well, which may capture carbon much more quickly. For example: bamboo, switchgrass, sugarcane, straw, or even dried food waste.

What Is Tobacco Mosaic Virus: How To Treat Tobacco Mosaic Disease
Home › Problems › Plant Diseases
By: Susan Patterson, Master Gardener
Image by University of Georgia Plant Pathology Archive, Bugwood.org
If you've noticed an outbreak of leaf mottling along with blistering or leaf curl in the garden, then you may have plants affected by TMV. Tobacco mosaic damage is caused by a virus and is prevalent in a variety of plants. So exactly what is tobacco mosaic virus? Keep reading to find out more, as well as how to treat tobacco mosaic virus once it's found.
What is Tobacco Mosaic Virus?
Although tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is named for the first plant in which it was discovered (tobacco) back in the 1800s, it infects over 150 different types of plants. Among plants affected by TMV are vegetables, weeds and flowers. Tomato, pepper and many ornamental plants are struck annually with TMV. The virus does not produce spores but spreads mechanically, entering plants via wounds.
History of Tobacco Mosaic
Two scientists made the discovery of the first virus, the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, in the late 1800's. Although it was known to be a damaging infectious disease, tobacco mosaic was not identified as a virus until 1930.
Tobacco Mosaic Damage
Tobacco mosaic virus does not usually kill the plant that is infected; it does cause damage to flowers, leaves and fruit and stunts a plant's growth, however. With tobacco mosaic damage, leaves may appear mottled with dark green and yellow-blistered areas. The virus also causes leaves to curl.
Symptoms tend to vary in severity and type depending on the light conditions, moisture, nutrients and temperature. Touching the infected plant and handling a healthy plant that may have a tear or nick, whereby the virus can enter, will spread the virus.
Pollen from an infected plant can also spread the virus, and seeds from a diseased plant can bring the virus to a new area. Insects that chew on plant parts may carry the disease as well.
How to Treat Tobacco Mosaic Disease
There has not yet been found a chemical treatment that effectively protects plants from TMV. In fact, the virus has been known to survive for up to 50 years in dried plant parts. The best control of the virus is prevention.
Reducing and eliminating sources of the virus and the spread of insects can keep the virus kept under control. Sanitation is the key to success. Garden tools should be kept sterilized.
Any small plants that appear to have the virus should be removed immediately from the garden. All plant debris, dead and diseased, should be removed as well to prevent the spread of the disease.
In addition, it is always best to avoid smoking while working in the garden, as tobacco products can be infected and this can spread from gardener's hands to plants. Crop rotation is also an effective way to protect plants from TMV. Virus-free plants should be purchased to help avoid bringing the disease into the garden.

PRESS TRIP – One of the things I love the most about travel is discovering the local history and culture. After all, nothing beats learning by immersing yourself in the source. But what do you do when you can't go to the destination of your choice? You go online just like I did with Prague's Jewish Quarter virtual experience tour.
My virtual press trip was hosted by Czech Tourism and Prague City Adventures. Not only did it bring me back to our trip to Prague a few years ago, but it also made me forget I was home and not able to travel. It was a very moving and inspirational tour through Prague that brought to life the stories of the people who lived and left their mark here.

Virtual tour of Prague's Jewish Quarter
Prague has one of Europe's oldest recorded Jewish communities dating back to the 10th century. Since then, the community has continuously existed despite several persecutions and expulsions, including the holocaust and subsequent antisemitic persecution by the Communist regime.
Several events have shaped the history of the Jewish population in Prague. Jews were forced to live in a concentrated walled-in area called the ghetto as far back as the 11th century and suffered numerous pogroms. During the Middle Ages, they were forced to wear a yellow star as identification and were limited to which jobs they could work in.

The end of the 16th century brought prosperity to the area when the Jewish mayor, Mordecai Maisel, became the financial advisor for Emperor Rudolph II. He used his wealth to help develop the ghetto. During that time, the area also saw its population almost double with an influx of Jewish people expelled from other parts of Europe.
Another man who played an instrumental role in the development of the Jewish Quarter was the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II. In 1781, he passed the Toleration Edict, allowing for great religious freedom. The Jewish Quarter was renamed Josefov (Josefstadt in German) in his honour.
Most of Prague's Jewish Quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913 as part of a reconstruction initiative to improve the sanitary condition. The plan looked at Paris for inspiration, and today, you can find many incredible Art Nouveau buildings from that time.
During this time, most buildings were demolished, and streets were remodelled to reflect the latest city-building style. However, several most significant historical buildings were saved. These are the six synagogues, including the 13th century Old-New Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in the Central, the old cemetery and the Old Jewish Town Hall.
Jewish Quarter before and after reconstruction initiative
High Synagogue (Vysoká synagoga): 16th-century synagogue
Jewish Town Hall (Židovská radnice): 18th-century rococo town hall
Klaus Synagogue (Klausová synagoga): 16th-century baroque synagogue
Maisel Synagogue (Maiselova synagoga): 16th-century synagogue destroyed by fire, now used as a museum
Pinkas Synagogue (Pinkasova synagoga): 16th-century synagogue, now a memorial to Holocaust victims
Spanish Synagogue (Španělská synagoga): 19th-century synagogue with Moorish interior
Old Jewish Cemetery (Starý židovský hřbitov): 15th- to 18th-century cemetery. Europe's oldest surviving Jewish cemetery
Old New Synagogue (Staronová synagoga): 13th-century Gothic synagogue
Jewish Ceremonial Hall, Prague (Obřadní síň): 20th-century Neo-Renaissance hall

While cemeteries are not on everyone's to-do list, the Old Jewish Cemetery is worth a visit. It was founded in 1478, and burials were held here until 1787. The cemetery is home to over 100,000 graves and more than 12,000 gravestones. In some cases, people were buried on top of one another, up to 12 layers deep. The cemetery is one of the largest of its kind in Europe and one of Prague's most important Jewish historical monuments.
In the early 20th century, Prague was home to notable authors including Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Rainer Maria Rilke and Franz Werfel. During the tour, we learned about others that left a very different yet just as profound mark on the city.
Friedl Dicker-Brandeis: Friedl was an artist living in the Jewish Quarter at the outbreak of World War II. In 1941, she was deported to the Theresienstadt (Terezin) concentration camp with her husband, Pavel Brandeis. She brought with her a suitcase filled with art supplies that she used to teach art to the children at the camp. In 1944, both were sent to Auschwitz, where she died. Her husband survived, and so did the collection of over five thousand artworks by her students. They are now exhibited at the Jewish Museum in Prague.
Nicholas Winton: British banker and humanitarian who established an organization to rescue children at risk from Nazi Germany. Son of German-Jewish parents who had emigrated to Britain, he arranged the rescue of 669 children, mostly Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. In Britain, he found homes for the children and arranged for their safe passage. His work was largely unnoticed for about 50 years. In 2003, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his work and in 2014, he was awarded the highest honour of the Czech Republic, the Order of the White Lion (1st class), by Czech President Miloš Zeman.
Nicky's Family – A documentary film about a few out of 669 children rescued by Sir Nicholas Winton from the hands of the Nazis.
8 Paratroopers: These eight men were selected in 1942 to carry out a covert mission to assassinate the Nazi governor, Reinhard Heydrich, in Prague. During the attempt, one of the paratrooper's gun jammed before he could kill Heydrich. Determined to carry out the assassination, the other man threw a bomb at the car, but that also didn't kill their target. Despite their failed attempts, Heydrich died later from blood poisoning caused by the horsehair in the seat of his carriage. Unfortunately, the paratroopers were betrayed by one of their own, who ratted them out to the SS officers looking for revenge. The Nazis killed them all.
Operation Anthropoid – movie about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
By the 18th century, Prague was home to more Jews than any other city in the world. But that all changed with the Second World War. Many Jewish citizens were deported to ghettos and concentration camps across Nazi-occupied Europe. Those that returned after the war often found it difficult to reclaim their property and moved elsewhere. Consequently, today, the Jewish population in Prague is nowhere near what it used to be.
Other reminders of the people that once lived here and died tragically are the many stumbling stones scattered across the city. Each plaque, embedded in the pavement outside of houses and buildings, commemorates a person who lived at the given address before being deported. It states their name, birthday and where and when they died. Over 74,000 stumbling stones (known as Stolpersteine) can be found in more than 1,200 cities and towns across Europe and Russia.
A virtual experience doesn't always deliver the full familiarity of visiting a destination. However, I will say that my virtual tour of Prague's Jewish Quarter was a poignant and immersive experience. Our guide Nikola, took us through the city, highlighting the fascinating stories of the Jewish people that left their mark on the city.
I might have enjoyed it from home, but I felt as if I was there in person. The tour was great, and I recommend it be that in person on virtually. Prague is a gorgeous city, and if you're planning on stopping by, make sure to visit the Czech Tourism site for inspiration and sign up with Prague City Adventures for an in-depth tour of Prague.

Other Abstract Recently, "rich kids" has become a controversial topic in the country. People are paying high attentions to it with complicated attitudes. This attitude contains both positive and negative parts, and appears a love-hate relationship. The existing researches are mainly using labeling or stigma theory to explain the negative part of the phenomenon, which is not comprehensive and easy to result in further misreading. Therefore, this study uses the theoretical framework of ambivalent attitude to help people get a better look at the attitudes toward the rich kids. The mechanism and the influencing factors of the phenomenon are explored in this study as well. This study has both the realistic and theoretical significance. This study also discusses and tries to prove the disjointed point ofambivalent attitude theoryin expressions and measuring methods.
The first section of this study isto verifythe existence of the phenomenon. In the beginning, quantitative study of free-association was done to prove that both positive and negative parts exist in the attitudes people have towards the richkids: the attitude is ambivalent. Then the scenario experiment was used, which proves theambivalent attitude expresses mainly in mood level.
In the second section of this study, we study the moderating effect of just world belief, as well as the mediating effect of self-expansionmotivation, applied on the ambivalent attitudethat people have on the richkids. We found that the higher level of the just world belief people have, the more ambivalent ofthe attitude people have. We also found that people have stronger self-expansion motivation on the rich kids than the normal kids, which results in a more ambivalent attitude people have on the rich-kids.
In the third section,an information study test was done to verify that the ambivalent attitudeis caused by the positive-negative conflict of the first impression and the laterinformation. If the positive-negative propertyof the informationof the firstimpression is contradicted to that of the information of the later study, people will have obvious ambivalent attitude.
This study is focused on the detailedambivalent attitude toward rich kids. Almost all hypotheses have been verified after the three sections. Base on this, further study can be done othe cross-culture comparison or the kinetics of the ambivalent attitude.

                          * COS( RADIANS( vb.lat ) )
                          * COS( RADIANS( vb.long) - RADIANS( 77.137941 ) )
                      + SIN( RADIANS( 28.684342 ) )
                          * SIN( RADIANS( vb.lat) )

 WHERE vk.userid = vb.userid
   AND vk.tagid = '5'
 GROUP BY vk.userid

 ORDER BY distance;

The above query is taking lot of time, kindly help me to find the fastest query for this scenario.

A: Use Oracle's Spatial data

Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE UserTable (
  userid   NUMBER(8,0),
  name     VARCHAR2(255),
  location SDO_GEOMETRY,
  address  VARCHAR2(255)

  ),
  8307
);

CREATE INDEX UserTable_SIDX ON UserTable( location ) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX;

CREATE TABLE TagTable (id, userid, tagid ) AS
          SELECT 1, 101, 5 FROM DUAL

Query 1:
SELECT u.userid

       INNER JOIN
       TagTable t
       ON u.UserID = t.UserID
WHERE  sdo_within_distance (
         u.location,
         SDO_GEOMETRY( 2001, 8307, SDO_POINT_TYPE(92,72,NULL), NULL, NULL),
         'distance=5 unit=MILE'
       ) = 'TRUE'
AND    t.tagid = 5

Results:
| USERID |
|--------|
|    101 |

A: If indexing doesn't make a big difference I might try and take some of the heavy computational steps out, and see how that improves efficiency:
Idea 1: remove the ORDER BY clause, and instead sort in PHP.
Idea 2: then also remove the HAVING clause, and instead filter in PHP as you loop through the results.
Idea 3: If a userid can only appear once for a particular tagid in TagTable, remove the whole GROUP BY clause, and add the distance test into the WHERE clause.
I'm not sure if passing off some of the processing to PHP would help efficiency, by it's worth testing at least.

What Cars.com's Most Recent Top Ten List Tells Us About Modern Driving
By Zero2Turbo	 On May 17, 2017
The Cars.com American-Made Index, a 'top ten' of sorts that ranks American-made vehicles based on several criteria, tells us quite a few things about the start of the car industry in the United States today – which also has implications about modern driving around the world at large.
This index gets a lot of attention every year, but this year was of particular interest. For the first time in its eleven-year history, the Cars.com AMI saw a revamp in criteria. There was a de-emphasis on sales and more of a focus on the percentage of American-made parts in any given vehicle. Predominance in U.S. materials when building engines, as well as the domestic employment numbers, were also given precedence over sales.
Jeep is dominating
Jeep didn't make an appearance on last year's AMI. Perhaps that was a sore point for them, because the overhaul of their methodologies now sees not just one of their vehicles taking the number one spot, but another model taking second place, too. This will be good news for businesses such as Cricks Jeep dealers! The Jeep Wrangler took first place, with the Jeep Cherokee taking second. Assembled in Ohio and Illinois, these two best-sellers derive more than 70% of their parts from U.S. plants.
The Detroit Three are still big deals
The Detroit Three are still earning that moniker, with the three companies all taking six spots in the AMI. Fiat Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors made appearances, with Ford taking an impressive three of those spots. The Ford F-150, part of the F-Series that remains the best-selling vehicle in the United States (a title held since 1981), is at number six; Ford beat themselves with the Ford Taurus, which was placed third behind the Jeeps. Built in Chicago, the Taurus was the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. on a year-by-year basis from 1992 to 1996.
Manufacturers are advertising their U.S. investments more…
There is heavy political pressure on car manufacturers to stop offshoring and bring manufacturing back to the United States; this is reflected in Jeep's sudden ascension to the top despite a no-show last year. The Detroit Three saw particular pressure in this field. This probably has a lot to do with President Trump's threats of negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement so as to introduce punishment for companies that offshore vehicle manufacturing only to bring the cars back to the United States for sale.
…but American drivers aren't really that bothered
A look at statistics on the automotive industry as well as general car sales shows that American consumers aren't really as bothered by the 'American-made' title as they claim. Although a Cars.com poll showed that 25% of car enthusiasts considered only buying cars made in the U.S., this simply isn't reflected in actual car sales. After all, a lot of cars that were staples in the AMI, such as Toyota models, had to be dropped due to the de-emphasis on actual sales. This shake-up is part of why the AMI has attracted so much attention; with sales de-emphasised, the list isn't replete with big sellers in the way that it used to be.
