The right of a state to prescribe the terms upon which a foreign corporation shall carry on its business in a state has been settled by this Court.
A state act which imposes limitations upon the power of a corporation, created under the laws of another state, to make contracts within the state for carrying on commerce between the states violates that clause of the Constitution which confers upon Congress the exclusive right to regulate that commerce.
A corporation organized under the laws of one state does not, by doing a single act of business in another state with no purpose of doing any other acts there, come within the provisions of a statute of the latter forbidding foreign corporations to carry on business within it except upon filing certificates showing their place or places of business, their agents, and other matters required by the statute.
The Constitution of State of Colorado provided that no foreign corporation should do any business within the state without having one or more known places of business and an authorized agent or agents in the same upon whom process might be served. The legislature of the state enacted that foreign corporations, before being authorized to do business in the state, should file a certificate with the secretary of state and the recorder of the county in which the principal business was carried on designating the principal place of business and the agent there on whom process might be served. A corporation of Ohio, without filing a certificate, contracted in Colorado to manufacture machinery at its place of business in Ohio and to deliver it in Colorado. Held that this act did not constitute a carrying on of business in Colorado, and was not forbidden by its Constitution and law.
An act in execution of a constitutional power passed by the first legislature after the adoption of the Constitution is a contemporary interpretation of the latter, entitled to much weight.
"No foreign corporation shall do any business in this state without having one or more known places of business, and an authorized agent or agents in the same upon whom process may be served."
"SEC. 23. Foreign corporations shall, before they are authorized or permitted to do any business in this state, make and file a certificate, signed by the president and secretary of such corporation, duly acknowledged, with the Secretary of State, and in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county in which such business is carried on, designating the principal place where the business of such corporation shall be carried on in this state, and an authorized agent or agents in this state residing at its principal place of business upon whom process may be served, and such corporation shall be subjected to all the liabilities, restrictions, and duties which are or may be imposed upon corporations of like character organized under the general laws of this state, and shall have no other or greater powers."
Section 26 of the same act provided that a failure to comply with the provisions of section 23 should render the officers, agents, and stockholders of the corporation individually liable on all its contracts made while the corporation was so in default.
State of Ohio, a steam engine and other machinery, in consideration whereof the defendants were to pay the plaintiff the price stipulated in the contract for such machinery.
This suit was brought by the plaintiff on August 10, 1880, to recover of the defendants damages for their breach of the contract.
The defendants, among other defenses, pleaded first that when the contract was entered into, the plaintiff had not made and filed the certificate required by § 23 of the act of 1877; second, that at the time of making the contract, the plaintiff did not have a known place of business in the State of Colorado, and did not have an authorized agent or agents in the state upon whom process might be served.
The plaintiff demurred to both these answers because they did not state facts sufficient to constitute a defense to the action. Upon the hearing of the demurrer, the judges of the circuit court were divided in opinion, and the presiding judge being of opinion that the demurrer should be overruled, it was overruled accordingly, and the plaintiff electing to stand by its demurrer, judgment was entered against it dismissing its suit, and for costs. By the present writ of error, the plaintiff brings that judgment under review.
"Whether the tenth section of article sixteen [fifteen] of the Constitution of the State of Colorado, and the twenty-third section of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Colorado, passed in the year A.D. 1877, entitled an 'Act to provide for the formation of corporations,' were, or either of them was, under all the circumstances stated, and the various acts passed by the Legislature of the State of Colorado, a bar in this action. "
contract with the defendants was valid, and that its suit should have been maintained.
As the clause in the Constitution and the act of the legislature relate to the same subject, like statutes in pari materia, they are to be construed together. Eskridge v. State, 25 Ala. 30.
The act was passed by the first legislature that assembled after the adoption of the Constitution, and has been allowed to remain upon the statute book to the present time. It must therefore be considered as a contemporary interpretation, entitled to much weight. Stuart v. Laird, 1 Cranch 299; Martin v. Hunter, 1 Wheat. 304; Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264; Adams v. Storey, 1 Paine, 90.
It must be conceded that if the contract on which the suit was brought was made in violation of a law of the state, it cannot be enforced in any court sitting in the state charged with the interpretation and enforcement of its laws. Bank of United States v. Owens, 2 Pet. 527; Groves v. Slaughter, 15 Pet. 449; Harris v. Runnels, 12 How. 79; Brown v. Tarkington, 3 Wall. 377; Davidson v. Lanier, 4 Wall. 447; Hanauer v. Doane, 12 Wall. 342; Wheeler v. Russell, 17 Mass. 258; Law v. Hodson, 11 East 300; Little v. Poole, 9 B. & C.192; Thorne v. Travelers' Insurance Co., 80 Penn.St. 15; Allen v. Hawks, 13 Pick. 82; Roche v. Ladd, 1 Allen 441; In re Comstock, 3 Sawyer 218.
So far as appears by the record, the plaintiff had no principal place of business, nor any place of business whatever, in the State of Colorado, and the making of the contract set out in the complaint was the only business ever done by it, or that it ever purposed to do, in that state.
The question, therefore, is whether, upon a true construction of the Constitution and statute, the making of the contract which the plaintiff seeks to enforce, was, under the circumstances stated, forbidden.
The contention of the defendant in error is that the prohibition against the doing of any business in the state by a foreign corporation except upon the prescribed condition includes the doing of any single and isolated act of business whatever.
"The prohibition extends to doing business before compliance with the terms of the statute. We do not think this an abridgment of the right of a foreign corporation to sue. It extends only to the exercise of the powers by which it may be said ordinarily to transact or carry on its business. To what extent the exercise of these powers is affected we do not decide."
Utley v. Clark-Gardner Lodge Mining Co., 4 Colo. 369. So it is clear that the statute cannot be construed to impose upon a foreign corporation limitations of its right to make contracts in the state for carrying on commerce between the states, for that would make the act an invasion of the exclusive right of Congress to regulate commerce among the several states. Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168. The prohibition against doing any business cannot therefore be literally interpreted.
carry on," when applied to business, is well settled. In Worcester's Dictionary, the definition is: "To prosecute, to help forward, to continue; as to carry on business." The definition given to the same phrase in Webster's Dictionary is: "To continue, as to carry on a design; to manage or prosecute, as to carry on husbandry or trade." The making in Colorado of the one contract sued on in this case, by which one party agreed to build and deliver in Ohio certain machinery and the other party to pay for it, did not constitute a carrying on of business in Colorado.
The obvious construction, therefore, of the constitution and the statute is that no foreign corporation shall begin any business in the state, with the purpose of pursuing or carrying it on, until it has filed a certificate designating the principal place where the business of the corporation is to be carried on in the state and naming an authorized agent, residing at such principal place of business, on whom process may be served. To require such a certificate as a prerequisite to the doing of a single act of business, when there was no purpose to do any other business or have a place of business in the state, would be unreasonable and incongruous.
The case of Potter v. Bank of Ithaca, 5 Hill 490, tends to support this conclusion. The charter of the bank provided that its operations of discount and deposit should be carried on in the Village of Ithaca, and not elsewhere. The cashier discounted a note in the City of New York for the purpose of securing a demand due the bank, and the fact that the note was discounted in New York City was set up as a defense to a suit on the note. In giving judgment for the bank, Nelson, C.J., said the statute "obviously relates to the regular and customary business operations of the bank, and does not apply to a single transaction like the one in question." A similar ruling was made in Suydam v. Morris Canal & Banking Co., 6 Hill. 217. See also Graham v. Hendricks, 22 La.Ann. 523.
necessary to decide whether their provisions invade the exclusive right of Congress to regulate commerce among the several states. We have examined all the cases cited by the defendants to support their interpretation. * In none of them was the statute construed similar in its language or provisions to the Constitution or statute under consideration, and the cases can have no controlling weight in the present controversy.
* In re Comstock, 3 Sawyer 218; Bank of British Columbia v. Page, 46 Or. 31; Thorne v. Travelers' Ins. Co., 80 Penn.St. 15; Roche v. Ladd, 1 Allen 441; Rising Sun Ins. Co. v. Slaughter, 20 Ind. 520; National Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Pursell, 10 Allen 231; Cincinnati Mut. Assur. Co. v. Rosenthal, 55 Ill. 85; Aetna Ins. Co. v. Harvey, 11 Wis. 412.
MR. JUSTICE BLATCHFORD and myself concur in the judgment of the Court announced in this case, but on different grounds from those stated in the opinion. Whatever power may be conceded to a state to prescribe conditions on which foreign corporations may transact business within its limits, it cannot be admitted to extend so far as to prohibit or regulate commerce among the states, for that would be to invade the jurisdiction which, by the terms of the Constitution of the United States, is conferred exclusively upon Congress.
prohibit it except upon conditions is to regulate commerce between Colorado and Ohio, which is within the exclusive province of Congress. It is quite competent, no doubt, for Colorado to prohibit a foreign corporation from acquiring a domicile in that state, and to prohibit it from carrying on within that state its business of manufacturing machinery. But it cannot prohibit it from selling in Colorado, by contracts made there, its machinery manufactured elsewhere, for that would be to regulate commerce among the states.
In Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, the issuing of a policy of insurance was expressly held not to be a transaction of commerce, and therefore not excluded from the control of state laws, and the decision in that case is predicated upon that distinction. It is therefore not inconsistent with these views.

The Oak Cliff Founders Way
"Sculpture Trail Will Recognize Neighborhood Trailblazers."
The North Oak Cliff Greenspace (NOCG), a 501c3 charitable organization, announced a major initiative to honor some of the Founding Fathers of Oak Cliff by building and installing a Creek Trail, the Oak Cliff Founders Way. The first sculpture will be that of George Kessler, the prodigious landscape architect and city planner for whom Kessler Park is named. Kessler is often cited as one of the most influential leaders of Dallas. Among his many other accomplishments, he created the Kessler Plan that was the first to call for the building of levees around the Trinity River, creating Union Station, realigning Dallas' streets and creating a series of connected parks and boulevards. He was also instrumental in redesigning Fair Park.
Kessler's visionary impact on Dallas community leaders inspired them to name the Kessler Park neighborhood after him.
The first sculpture will be a joint venture of the Kessler Neighbors United and NOCG. Future plans call for additional statues along the Coombs Creek Trail that runs throughout North Oak Cliff from the Trinity River to Hampton Road. The trail will eventually extend to Pinnacle Park.
"We believe our neighborhoods deserve a series of landmarks throughout North Oak Cliff and West Dallas that recognizes those visionary leaders who helped create and cultivate our unique communities. We feel the Founders Way will highlight the sense of space, history and community that represents the spirit of our neighborhoods," said Bob Stimson, Founders Way Committee Chair for North Oak Cliff Greenspace.

To the Laos - To the People of God, October / November 2011
Dear People of God
Once again, I must wrap two months into one! It is not always easy to find time, but I am grateful these letters make me pause and consider a wider perspective on my life and ministry. I was very encouraged last weekend, when a priest in Natal Diocese said 'Please don't stop writing! My sermons have improved a lot because of your letters!' Certainly, it is my hope and prayer that in sharing my own reflections on God's call on my life, I can help enrich your understanding of God's call to you, and help inform your prayers for our whole Province. So whenever I am late in writing, please conclude that I am particularly busy and in even more need of prayer than usual!
When I last wrote, we were preparing for Synod of Bishops and Provincial Standing Committee. At Synod, we grappled with stretching questions of faith, culture, and 'reading the signs of the times'. We affirmed that 'true expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ within our cultures must be exercised graciously and with great carefulness, for example, in the pastoral care given to those claiming to have a call to Isangoma training – recognizing that these two worlds, of Christianity and this aspect of African traditional life, will never meet.' We noted that 'other inherited cultural values (such as giving honour to God; respecting grey hair; virginity testing for young people; upholding honesty, and the values enshrined in the philosophy of ubuntu) need to be vigorously debated …' Our discussions were enriched by the presence of Canon Grace Kaiso, General Secretary of the Conference of Anglican Provinces in Africa (sadly, Archbishop Ian Ernest, CAPA President, was unwell, and could not join us). The Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church was also briefly with us, at the end of her short visit. We acknowledged many differences, including over human sexuality, but pledged to continue dialogue. Please pray her time here will have given her a better understanding of this part of the Anglican Communion. You can read the Synod's full statement at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/09/statement-from-synod-of-bishops-meeting.html.
PSC was up-beat, despite economic and other pressures, and enthusiastic planning for the future ranged from developing our Vision to renewing theological training. I came home feeling we are deepening our grasp of the identity into which God is calling us to grow, taking seriously our place both within Africa and globally as we seek to share his love, his redemption, his new life. You can read more at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/10/anglicans-plan-for-future-with.html.
At the beginning of October it was a great joy to join Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu in laughter-filled the celebrations for his 80th birthday, and also Mama Leah's birthday the following week. Tata, Gogo, we love you more than words can say, and pray that God may bless you richly in retirement.
After such happy celebration, it was sobering to travel with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, to Harare, to express our solidarity with Bishop Chad and his Diocese, as well as Anglicans elsewhere in Zimbabwe, who have suffered all manner of outrageous persecutions at the instigation of the breakaway Bishop, Albert Kunonga. Do not believe press reports which say this is a disagreement over human sexuality – that is just a smoke screen for shameless political thuggery and self-enrichment. Even President Mugabe seemed surprised by the scale of events when we presented him with a dossier. Yet we also found great hope. Over 10,000 worshippers gathered on Sunday morning in the Sports' Stadium, to hear our messages of support, and, as I said there, if God is on our side, who can ever be against us (Rom 8:31). (You can read my fuller reflections on the visit at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/10/zimbabwe-visit-with-archbishop-of.html.) It seems to have been some improvements in conditions. Pray these will be sustained, and uphold our brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe in your intercessions.
After Cape Town's Diocesan Clergy School, and parish visits which are my usual Sunday fare, I was soon on a plane again – to Toronto, to deliver the Snell Sermon. A former Bishop endowed an annual lecture on 'The incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ – his person and his message in contemporary theological thought', a theme which is close to my heart. Jesus is at the heart of God's mission, and so must always be our goal, our guide, and our model. You can read what I said at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/snell-sermon-incarnate-jesus-christ-in.html, and the sermon I delivered in Toronto Cathedral, for the feast of All Saints, at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/sermon-for-feast-of-all-saints.html. I also discussed the Anglican Church of Canada's support to ACSA, e.g. through the Primate's Fund, and the link between the Dioceses of Toronto and Grahamstown.
It is not just me who travels – as mentioned above, others come to us! It was a privilege to have the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall worshipping at St George's Cathedral in Cape Town during their visit to South Africa. In my sermon, I was able to speak about the ability of the Anglican Communion together to do far more than merely the sum of our separate actions, as we seek to respond to God's call always to 'stay awake', ready to take every opportunity to let God's 'justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everlasting stream'. (You can read my sermon at http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/sermon-for-prince-of-wales-and-duchess.html.)
Finally, I have just made a busy pastoral and teaching visit to the Diocese of Natal. At the heart of this was the consecration, in a packed Cathedral, of Bishop Tsietsi Seloane, the new Suffragan. Pray for him and his wife Rachel in this new chapter of their lives. I also visited local community projects and presented Hope Africa awards for excellence; spoke with Prof Barney Pityana at a dinner raising funds for the redevelopment of COTT (http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/support-development-of-college-of.html); and shared reflections on the life and work of a priest at a Clergy Forum (http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/these-two-talks-were-delivered-at.html). On Sunday, I preached at on 'Anglicans in Mission: Here am I, send me!' (http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/anglicans-in-mission-here-am-i-lord.html).
It was also my privilege to deliver the Third Rubin Phillip Peace Lecture at St John's, Pinetown (see http://archbishop.anglicanchurchsa.org/2011/11/if-you-want-peace-you-must-work-for.html). This provided an opportunity to pay tribute to Bishop Rubin (and of course also to Rose), and his Diocese, for all that they do, not only in KwaZulu-Natal, but for the Province as a whole, through generous financial support, and in many other ways. We keep them in our prayers, in this, and in all their evangelistic and mission endeavours. Their 'radical hospitality' was shown also to the Synod of Bishops earlier this year, and later this month they will be deeply involved in the witness of faith communities to COP-17, as we call on governments to make binding commitments to safeguard our planet's future. Meanwhile, I have asked Revd Canon Rachel Mash (who heads HIV and AIDS work for the Diocese of Cape Town) to coordinate the Province's environmental work, and assist me in my new responsibility as chair of the Anglican Communion's Environmental Network.
Please keep our Province and me in your prayers at this busy time! (And apologies to those who do not have internet access, for providing so many web links.)
Yours in the service of Christ

Spark General- Feature suggestion: Declined Feature (5 ideas) – Community feature requests for Adobe Spark!
I want to love spark, but this service is extremely slow! To the point that it's practically unusable. I know you can get it in the app store for iphone and ipad. Why not for Macbook?
I don't always have an internet connection, and even when I do the amount of load time it takes to make a couple images makes spark not worth it.
Right now it's faster for me to make multiple posts in photoshop.
The iOS apps for Spark are functional offline. However, we don't have plans to prioritize offline mode for Spark on the web anytime soon.
Please make it possible to embed hyperlinks in an Adobe Spark project.
So, we don't have plans to add hyperlinks into Spark Post. However, if you EXPORT a Post as a PDF, you could add a hyperlink. It's a bit of a workaround, but I actually use that quite a bit.
A few MS Word-type formatting features, like specifying exact font size, or bulleted lists. For example, dragging the corner of the text box to increase the font size is a pretty clunky method and if you need multiple text boxes to be the same size, it seems to be trial and error. But maybe I have more to learn!
Thanks for the question. So Spark now has the ability to control the font size, letter spacing, and line spacing of a text box.
However, font formatting controls on an individual word/letter basis and bulleted lists are unfortunately not something we're currently investigating.
After you click on the manage your brand link, some of the templates are off the browser page and barely visible on the desktop version. With a horizontal scroll bar, you could see the Pintrest post template.
Thank you for your feedback. You should see a "See all" link near the upper right corner in the Templates row. If you click on that link, you'll be taken to a page the displays all the Post templates you have in your Brand.

During Olympic Games-1980 we were separated from other team by Zenov, who, using his nice relations in Soviet Army Club, obtained for his group a 5-roomed apartment: downstairs was a cantina and through a road was situated swimming pool "Olympisky". Games' opening was not for us, we see our team only during competitions, and it was under compete ban our presence in the Olympic village. Last night before final race I was sleeping as a real child. But suddenly Zenov entered: "Stand up! Breakfast." I took some food and a little bit ice cream up. We went to the street, passed the road directly to swimming pool. In the morning's prelim session I swam not shaved. My warm up was as usual as in any competitions, swimming till one km: 200 m medley, legs, arms, for coordination, a couple of 50 meter under chronometer, several starting dives, accelerations and coolly ending of last 200 m. I entered in final race with a first result and immediately run home to eat and to sleep. And again Zenov waked me, now with a razor "Neva". In half an hour he scraped me with this razor and told: "That's all, let's go to swimming pool!" It was rather unusual atmosphere for me in "Olympisky". A lot of people! I was never saw so many public, even in World Swim Championships!!! I twisted my legs and arms, dived in the water, had only 30 minutes' warm up especially to have one hour for rest before start. After I was warming more in a shower and without any lie I was seated near the water watching others to swim. Zenov did not touch me and I did not contact team's psychologist. Before I had two attempts to do it without any positive result, on the contrary, I started to laugh, and in order not to disturb other people, I was expulsed from his séance. So, only our masseuse Baba Luba shakes me through track-suit and I go to the call-room.
I think, that if somebody was really overtaking me, biting my legs, I was able to accelerate, and 0,3 seconds to World record was nothing, I swam practically without any short breath. After the race I visited once Olympic village and was banished from there in order not to disturb others, who were preparing to competitions. I was obliged to go my Moscow friends. After that Zenov told me: "This is your ticket to Lithuania, they are waiting for you there, go quickly!" And I with Lina, not ended Olympic Games closing ceremony, we leaved home. One month after I received a Soviet Order of Peoples Friendship and a title of honoured sports master of USSR, and our Republic divided homages to all its medals winners, and I received an opportunity to bay my-self a Soviet car "Volga" and one-roomed flat. K achushite wanted a 2-roomed apartment, but they told her, that it was impossible, take one-roomed or wait! She decided to wait and as result, finally she received noting.

Katy Perry's 'Chained to the Rhythm' breaks Spotify streaming record
The pop singer broke the record for most streams for a female artist on Spotify
By Nick Romano
February 11, 2017 at 01:24 PM EST
Add "Chained to the Rhythm" to Katy Perry's long list of hits.
As announced by Spotify on Saturday, the pop singer's latest single broke a record for the music service with 3,062,293 streams after dropping early Friday morning. This sets a new bar for Spotify for being the highest first-day streaming for a single track by a female artist.
The success could have something to do with Spotify's promotional blitz for the singer. Martin Kirkup from Direct Management Group, which represents Perry, told Bloomberg, "They were the ones who said, 'We want to make this a big part of what we're doing, we want to give you every level of support.' We didn't ask for a billboard. They offered it."
Spotify's chief content officer Stefan Blom also said, "We've done a lot of thinking about how to position ourselves and be a better partner to the artist. We didn't have an artist marketing team before, and we have that now."
In addition, Perry tantalized fans with a disco ball scavenger hunt over social media.
Perry teamed up with longtime collaborator Max Martin on "Chained to the Rhythm," which was co-written by Sia and features a verse from Bob Marley's grandson Skip Marley. The song released across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, SoundCloud, Tidal, and more.

Story of the Week...
On climate change, it's time to start panicking
The crisis over global warming warrants an unparalleled response
(Getty/Photo Montage by Salon)
It is time for us to panic about global warming. Indeed, a proper state of panic is long overdue.
Global warming has made the news for a number of reasons this week: The Supreme Court rejected a request by President Donald Trump to halt a lawsuit by children and teenagers to force the federal government to address man-made climate change; Trump's Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation took new steps to reverse President Barack Obama's rules requiring car manufacturers to steadily reduce greenhouse gas pollution from their vehicles; former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denounced those same Trump policies as "stupid"; and The New York Times ran a brilliant piece documenting how, between 1979 and 1989, the world had the opportunity to effectively address man-made climate change... and squandered it.
Yet this is one of those issues in which — because there are so many twists and turns and overwhelming details — it is easy to lose sight of a crucial fact: If we do not resolve the problem of man-made climate change, it could quite literally spell the end of human civilization.
"There will be and already is major consequences and they grow over time. It does not look good," Kevin Trenberth, a a Distinguished Senior Scientist in the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, told Salon by email. "The effects are always local but there are more and more of them and the consequences are major. These includes floods and drought, heat waves and wild fires." He also pointed Salon in the direction of a paper he co-authored that elaborated on how Hurricane Harvey in particular could be linked to climate change.

Opinion of the Week...
Don't despair – climate change catastrophe can still be averted
The future looks fiery and dangerous, according to new reports. But political will and grassroots engagement can change this

This is the summer when, for many, climate change got real. The future looks fiery and dangerous. Hot on the heels of Trump, fake news and the parlous state of the Brexit negotiations, despair is in the air. Now a new scientific report makes the case that even fairly modest future carbon dioxide emissions could set off a cascade of catastrophe, with melting permafrost releasing methane to ratchet up global temperatures enough to drive much of the Amazon to die off, and so on in a chain reaction around the world that pushes Earth into a terrifying new hothouse state from which there is no return. Civilisation as we know it would surely not survive. How do we deal with such news?
As a research scientist in this field, I can give some nuance to the headlines. One common way of thinking about climate change is the lower the future carbon dioxide emissions, the less warming and the less havoc we will face as this century progresses. This is certainly true, but as the summer heatwave and the potential hothouse news remind us, the shifts in climate we will experience will not be smooth, gradual and linear changes. They may be fast, abrupt, and dangerous surprises may happen. However, an unstoppable globally enveloping cascade of catastrophe, while possible, is certainly not a probable outcome.

Quote of the Week...
"I would place a price on carbon," Michael E. Mann, a Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State, told Salon by email. "Whether this takes the form of a carbon tax (a revenue-neutral carbon tax? fee and dividend? cap-and-trade?), I leave that to the policymakers to determine as long as they accept, as the premise for policy, what the science has to say about the reality and threat of climate change. The price on carbon needs to be set such that it leads to a reduction in carbon emissions of several percent a year for the next few decades. If we do that, we can avoid a catastrophic 2C (~3.5 F) warming of the planet."

Mike Mann provides a clear explanation of the relation between climate change and current extreme weather around the world, and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions.

Charles Thomas "Charlie" Munger, född 1 januari 1924, är en amerikansk jurist, företagsledare och filantrop. Han är vice styrelseordförande för det multinationella konglomeratet Berkshire Hathaway Inc. sedan 1978 och har beskrivits som Warren Buffetts "högra hand", hans närmsta rådgivare vid konglomeratets investeringar. Munger är också ledamot i koncernstyrelsen för den globala detaljhandelskedjan Costco Wholesale Corporation sedan januari 1997. Innan Munger blev involverad i Berkshire, grundade han juristbyrån Munger, Tolles & Olson som han fortfarande är delägare i.

Den amerikanska ekonomitidskriften Forbes rankade Munger till att vara världens 1 325:e rikaste med en förmögenhet på 2,3 miljarder amerikanska dollar för den 17 februari 2023.

Han avlade en kandidatexamen i meteorologi vid California Institute of Technology. Han har även en juris doktor (motsvarande en svensk juristexamen) vid Harvard Law School.

Filantropi
Han har officiellt donerat uppemot en halv miljard dollar till olika utbildningsinstitutioner sen 1997.
University of California, Santa Barbara: $200 miljoner, den största enskilda donationen av Munger.
University of Michigan: $111,2 miljoner.
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (University of California, Santa Barbara): $65 miljoner.
Stanford University: $43,5 miljoner.
Huntington Library, San Marino i Kalifornien: $32 miljoner.
University of Michigan Law School (University of Michigan): $23 miljoner.
Harvard-Westlake School, Los Angeles i Kalifornien: $17,5 miljoner.
Marlborough School, Los Angeles i Kalifornien: $1,86 miljoner.

Munger har dock inte valt att vara med i The Giving Pledge, som inrättades av Buffett och Bill Gates i juni 2010.

It has been revealed in today's Nintendo Treehouse live stream that the current goal is to release Pokemon GO Plus sometime in late July. It can be bought both online and through select retailers. It was also revealed that it will cost $34.99 in North America.
So no in app purchases?
Can someone tell me WHAT Pokémon Go Plus is, and why it's better than the free game?
I imagine 2 versions will exist. A free version with in-app purchases and the $34.99 plus version with paid purchases from the start.
What this article is lacking is the fact that Pokemon Go Plus is the wrist accessory that acts sorta like a Fitbit or primitive smart watch. It has a light up button that indicates when pokemon are close by to catch and lets you catch them without having to pull out your phone.
What is this again, and why is it just as much as an actual Pokemon game?
It's an ARG (Augmented Reality Game) that utilizes your phone to basically take the role of a Pokemon Trainer. You walk around your real-world and your "scanner" will recognize pokemon in the AR world; you can then use your phone to "throw" pokeballs at them and catch them. I think more than that gets past the NDA.
It's a wrishwatch-type accesory so you can catch pokemon on the go for Pokemon GO. It syncs to your Pokemon GO game on your smartphone.


Fat cells are not just passive blobs that store energy, but active players that control feeding behaviour, a fruit fly study shows.
A South Korea–based team led by researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology identified a fat-derived molecule that tells the fly brain to stop eating when energy reserves are large enough.
The authors showed that there are three enzymes — two in fat cells, one in the brain — that respond to feeding by producing a molecule, called tetrahydrobiopterin, that signals to particular neurons to reduce their expression of an appetite-promoting neurotransmitter.
Because fruit flies and humans share many of the same feeding-related regulatory mechanisms and genes, it's possible that a similar process controls our food intake. That raises the tantalizing possibility of manipulating this appetite-suppression system to treat weight gain or loss.
The research was published in PLOS Biology.
