Taking Hamlet around the globe
April 28, 2017 | By Shakespeare & Beyond
Photo: Helena Misioscia
To celebrate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth in 2014, Shakespeare's Globe in London sent a group of actors on a two-year tour to perform Hamlet all around the world, in what ended up as a total of 197 countries, and finishing on the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016.
Dominic Dromgoole, the Globe's artistic director who directed this traveling production, has written a new book about it, Hamlet Globe to Globe. Below, we share an excerpt from it that speaks to why the Globe took on this ambitious project and why they chose Hamlet.
"Translated into too many languages to count, and performed more times than Shakespeare ate hot dinners, and cold ones, or drew breath for that matter, Hamlet is one of those rare documents that can be said to have brought the world closer together. Audiences all over the planet have shared in its capacity to enlarge the spectator's openness and desire to question. It has not only shrunk space; it has also contracted time. Each person who watches or hears it is telescoped back to the moment in 1601 when an audience in the Globe first heard the opening words 'Who's there?' Just as those first spectators share in every subsequent time those words have begun an evening of queasily soulful entertainment. We all share in the suspended window of time within which a play floats, experiencing our own night of only-happening-now uniqueness and sharing the pleasure with the millions of others who have heard the same words in other times and places.
In 1608, on board a ship called the Dragon, Hamlet was performed by its crew off the coast of Sierra Leone for a group of visiting dignitaries. The crew remembered enough of the play from what they had seen at the Globe to shamble together a show. Within ten years of its first performance, groups of English actors, known collectively as the English Comedians, were performing it across northern Europe in abbreviated, action-packed adaptations. Since then it has played everywhere, in theatres, fields, caves, hovels and palaces.
It has tested thousands of actors and actresses, leaving some exhilarated with triumph and some desolate with failure, and all hungering for more. It has been recorded, televised and filmed over and over and over again. The performances of actors from Sarah Bernhardt to David Tennant, from Mel Gibson to Maxine Peake have been captured for posterity, and the sheer inclusiveness of that brief list says much about the play's openness to interpretation. It is recited in schoolrooms, quoted in boardrooms, mumbled by lovers, pondered on by sages, argued over by critics, passed on from parent to child, cursed by students, and wept over by spectators. In silence, it is stored in the heart as a fortifying secret by millions of us afraid of the bruising world. It is part of the fabric that surrounds us and sits within us. It has become, in large part, us.
In honour of the transcendent ubiquity of this play, on 23 April 2014, 450 years after the birth of Shakespeare, the Globe theatre, in response to a daft idea floated in a bar, set out on an artistic adventure almost as unique as the play we were honouring. To tour Hamlet to every country on earth. All 204. Or 197. Or however many were deemed to be countries at that particular moment. Unprecedented chutzpah and a healthy quantum of stupidity helped launch the mission. Beyond that, more practical factors made it possible. Over nine years, the Globe had formulated a style of touring as portable as the style in which actors travelled from the first Globe 400 years earlier. We had built up a network of international relationships with the Globe to Globe festival, which meant there wasn't a corner of the world where we could not phone and find a friend. But more importantly, technology had come to a point with air travel and information hyperlinking where it was now possible to move a theatre tour across the globe at a plausible speed and prepare satisfactorily for every arrival.
The marriage of globalisation and modernity sometimes seems to transfer little more than paranoia and violence. But we looked at the possibilities thrown up by that modernity, and instead of saying 'Why?', we thought 'Why not?' Why not use the potential of the world to transport not terror or commodities, but sixteen human souls, armed with hope, technique and strong shoes, their set packed into their luggage, the play wired into their memories, and present to every corner of the world, with a playful truth, the strangest and most beautiful play ever written. Why not?"

Simplot Wins by Disqualification
AHDRA Kresto Pro Drag competitor Will Simplot earned his first win of the new season at the Arizona Bikeweek Nationals, even though he was second to cross the finish line in the final.
After winning a pair of races in 2006 – Sturgis and Woodburn, Will Simplot garnered his first event victory of 2007 in Phoenix. However, Simplot will remember this particular race as one of his most difficult victories yet.
"It was a really challenging weekend for us," Simplot said. "We struggled with the bike. We kept dropping cylinders, the thing was running hot, and we were having electrical problems."
Simplot qualified in the No. 2 spot of the seven bike field with a run of 7.57 at 172 mph behind Gainesville runner-up Rick Moore, who took the pole with a 7.54 at 175 mph.
"We had the bike running pretty good by the end of the day on Saturday," Simplot said.
Simplot defeated Chris Kirby and Wink Eller to advance to the final to take on Moore. Simplot collected the event victory in unusual fashion – by disqualification when Moore lost fire in the burnout box and had to restart his motorcycle in order to make the run, a violation of AHDRA rules.
"It was kind of an ugly win but I'll take it," Simplot said. "I wanted to be a sportsman about it and wait for him. The track crew had a mix up on the starting line and I forgot about the rule myself."
Both bikes launched off the line and, at the moment, it appeared Moore had captured his first victory of the season with a 7.56 to Simplot's 7.77.
"When I got to the far end of the track I thought we had lost. I was pretty dejected," Simplot said. "Then they gave us the news and we had to run around like a chicken with our head cut off to get to the winner's circle. It was pretty exciting."

L.A. County supervisors question probation…
L.A. County supervisors question probation supervision after Northridge slayings
By Christina Villacorte | christina.villacorte@dailynews.com |
PUBLISHED: December 10, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 8:37 a.m.
The L.A. County Probation Department will have to answer tough questions after a man supposed to be under its supervision allegedly killed four people in Northridge last week.
County Supervisors Michael Antonovich and Zev Yaroslavsky have filed a motion directing Chief Probation Officer Jerry Powers to report to them about the department's interactions with suspect Ka Pasasouk.
Powers is expected to testify to the Board of Supervisors in closed session today.
Pasasouk, who is being held on suspicion of murder, accused of shooting four people to death at a Northridge house on Dec. 2, was among 11,000 former state prison inmates placed under probation after serving their time.
If not for Gov. Jerry Brown's public safety realignment, also known as AB 109, Pasasouk would have been supervised by armed state parole agents and subjected to stricter monitoring.
Pasasouk has a long rap sheet but his last offense was nonserious, nonviolent and nonsexual, making him eligible to be placed under probation, and not parole, under AB 109.
Both supervisors demanded a review of his criminal history and his compliance with the conditions of his probation.
"AB 109 was supposed to shift "low level" offenders to counties; in reality, it shifts high and ultra-high risk offenders because it ignores the offender's prior criminal history, including serious and violent offenses, and only considers the last offense," the supervisors wrote in their motion.
The supervisors sought suggestions for proposed changes to the county's policies regarding AB 109 probationers, as well as legislative amendments.

Browsing: Veins
Varicose Veins are a result of the body going through stressful changes, mainly caused by being overweight, lack of exercise, leg injuries, genetics, age, and sitting or standing for extended periods of time. These veins become compromised over time and develop into Varicose veins. Pregnant women are mostly prone to these conditions due to the drastic changes that occur in their bodies. A total of 43% of America's population is inflicted by Spider and Varicose veins. People don't pay particular attention to the condition and eventually, the existence of these kind of veins in their bodies lead to other health issues. Women are more commonly affected by vein issues. Approximately 25% of women and 18% of men will suffer from varicose veins.

Logan Elmore of Tri-County North stiff-arms Michael Ray from National Trail in the first quarter of their matchup on Friday, Oct. 30. The Panthers won the game 57-0.
LEWISBURG — Tri-County North closed its season out in a big way, routing in-conference and in-county rival National Trail 57-0 on Friday, Oct. 30.
The Panthers scored 30 points in the first quarter alone, forcing numerous turnovers and playing with a short field for most of the game.
"Our guys were really focused and wanted to come out and play really well and I think we did that," said North head coach Bill Derringer.
Trail lost leading running back and linebacker Ben Sullivan near the beginning of the game as North got to the scoring early.
North first score came from a 24-yard pass and catch from Lane Gunder to Logan Elmore to just two and a half minutes into the game. They then recovered a fumble on the ensuing drive, taking it to the two-yard line before Garrett Woodyard punched in the short yardage score with 7:36 left in the quarter.
Three minutes later, Gavin Overholtz punched in a third touchdown for the Panthers, pushing their lead to 21-0. On their next drive, they fumbled on the six-yard line but forced a National Trail safety on the drive with 11 seconds remaining in the quarter. North received the ball on the punt, and had time to run one more play before the quarter expired. It resulted in a 33-yard touchdown run by Woodyard, giving them the 30-point led.
North tacked on three more by the end of the half, as Woodyard scored once again on a 32-yard run. He was joined by Elmore, who scored off a 63-yard touchdown and a 17-yard run by Alex Kerby. They went into the break up 51-0.
The Panthers added only one more touchdown in the second half, playing with a running half for the remainder of the game. The touchdown came off a two-yard run by Josh Heindl with just under five minutes left to play.
Woodyard led all rushers with 89 yards on six carries and three touchdowns. He added two interceptions on the defensive side too. Elmore had 72 yards on two carries for a score as well as two catches for 39 yards and a touchdown. Gunder was 2-for-6 through the air with 39 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
For Trail, Michael Ray had three rushes for 44 yards and quarterback Michael Bane went 7-for-14 for 95 yards and two interceptions.
Bane was the sole senior on the Blazers roster but he helped lead them to three victories and help jump start the program for Kerns and his crew.
North finished the year at 7-3 and tenth overall in region 22. They missed the playoffs for the first time in five years.
Trail ended the year at 3-7.

  data_type: flow_rate
    massimo: 17533.8
     minimo: 17533.5

Edit: I have normalized the values timestamp, sensor_type, sensor_name and data_type and created a _view to facilitate consuming of data:
CREATE VIEW `_view` AS (
  select (
    select `vtmp`.`timestamp` from `timestamp` `vtmp` where (`vtmp`.`no` = `pm`.`timestamp`)) AS `timestamp`,(
      select `vtmp`.`sensor_type` from `sensor_type` `vtmp` where (`vtmp`.`no` = `pm`.`sensor_type`)) AS `sensor_type`,(
        select `vtmp`.`sensor_name` from `sensor_name` `vtmp` where (`vtmp`.`no` = `pm`.`sensor_name`)) AS `sensor_name`,(
          select `vtmp`.`data_type` from `data_type` `vtmp` where (`vtmp`.`no` = `pm`.`data_type`)) AS `data_type`,
          `pm`.`massimo` AS `massimo`,
          `pm`.`minimo` AS `minimo`
          from `datam1` `pm` order by `pm`.`timestamp` desc);

Is there a way to speed up with indexing, sharding and/or partitioning?
Or is better to re-think the table separating the information in different tables? If so, could anyone propose his best practice in such a situation?

A: *

*Do not use "prefix" indexing such as sensor_name(11); it rarely helps and sometimes hurts.

*If you sensor name and type, and data_type can't be more than 255 characters, don't use TEXT; instead VARCHAR(...) with some realistic limit.

*Normalize sensor name and type, and data_type -- I assume they are repeated a lot.  ENUM is a reasonable alternative.

*KEY(timestamp) and KEY(timestamp, ...) are redundant; DROP the former.

*Your table needs a PRIMARY KEY.  If no column (or set of columns) is Unique, then use an AUTO_INCREMENT.

*Perhaps you don't want to start the GROUP BY with the exact timestamp.  Maybe truncate to the hour?  For example, CONCAT(LEFT(timestamp, 13), ':xx') would yield something like 2016-10-16 20:xx.

*The main reason the query is taking a long time is that it is outputing 418K rows.  What will you do with that many rows?  I see no LIMIT, nor ORDER BY.  Will that continue to be the case?

*Partitioning and sharding will not help the speed any.

Those suggestions will help in various ways.  Once you have fixed most of them, we can discuss how to use Summary Tables to get a 10x speedup.

A: This answer discusses how to build a Summary Table.
CREATE TABLE Summary (
    -- The primary key:
    hr DATETIME  NOT NULL  COMMENT "Start of hour",
    sensor_type ...,
    sensor_name ...,
    -- The aggregates being collected:
    num_readings SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
    sum_reading FLOAT NOT NULL,  -- (maybe)
    min_reading FLOAT NOT NULL,
    max_reading FLOAT NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY(hr, sensor_type, sensor_name),
    INDEX(sensor_name, hour)   -- Maybe you want to look up by sensor?
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Every hour, populate it with something like
INSERT INTO Summary
    (hr, sensor_type, sensor_name, num_readings,
     sum_reading, min_reading, max_reading)
    SELECT
        FROM_UNIXTIME(3600 * (FLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP() / 3600) - 1)),   -- start of prev hour
        sensor_type,
        sensor_name,
        COUNT(*),   -- how many readings were taken in the hour.
        SUM(??),  -- maybe this is not practical, since you seem to have pairs of readings
        MAX(massimo),
        MIN(minimo)
    FROM DataM1
    WHERE `timestamp` >= FROM_UNIXTIME(3600 * (FLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP() / 3600) - 1))
      AND `timestamp`  < FROM_UNIXTIME(3600 * (FLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP() / 3600)));

This assumes you are taking readings every, say, minute.
If you are only taking readings once an hour, it would make more sense to summarize to the hour.
More discussion: Summary Tables .
To be more robust, the summarization INSERT-SELECT may need to be more complex -- what if you miss an hour.  (And other things that can go wrong.)
Caveat:  This summary table will be a lot faster than reading from the "Fact" table, but it can only display ranges of time based on whole hours.  If you need "the last 60 minutes", you will need to go the the Fact table.
Another note:  You should normalize bulky, repititous, things like sensor_name in the Fact, but you could (maybe should) denormalize when building the Summary table.  (I left out those steps in this example.)
For fetching the data for yesterday:
SELECT  sensor_type, sensor_name, data_type,
        MAX(massimo) as massimo,
        MIN(minimo) as minimo
    FROM Summary
    WHERE timestamp >= CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY
      AND timestamp  < CURRENT_DATE()
    GROUP BY sensor_type, sensor_name, data_type;

For all of June:
    WHERE timestamp >= '2016-06-01'
      AND timestamp  < '2016-06-01' + INTERVAL 1 MONTH

Note:  The simple way to get an average is to average the averages.  But the mathematically correct way is to sum the sums and divide by the sum of the counts.  Hence my inclusion of sum_reading and num_readings.  On the other hand, when averaging things like weather readings, it is common to get the average for each day, then average over the days.  I'll leave it to you decide what is 'right'.

A: I think that is such use cases, when you have so much data, maybe the best solution would be to use a noSQL database, and perform some aggregation before storing the data. You could have a look at Google Big Query and Cloud Data Flow
However, to answer your question I would pre-calculate the data aggregation using the min granularity required for my system (you could calculate the aggregation every 10 min) and then you will be able to perform your query on smaller amount of data.

Fringe Trailers
There are thousands of press releases, posters and flyers inviting you to see a show at the Edinburgh Fringe. Here we have selected trailers that, on the basis of the trailer alone, intrigue us. We don't guarantee to go and see those show but, who knows…?
First up is a theatre piece called, (Ab)solution from Jackrill Productions.
"Three brothers go to confession, each admitting sins against the same woman. Michael is a family man and secret sex addict. Alec is a mummy's boy confused about his sexuality. Ryan is a rebel who has anger issues and a drug dependency. Michael and Ryan add fuel to their existing sibling rivalry with Alec when he introduces the free-spirited Fiona as his girlfriend, leading to dire consequences. Secrets are revealed and family loyalty is tested in this dark drama about lust, guilt, jealousy and deceit."
Before 30 looks very interesting and a bit different, from Tom Hartwell.
"Before 30 follows Chris, a Deliveroo driver trying to make his way in the world. His previous struggles with depression and anxiety resurface as he faces the prospect of turning 30, comparing himself to his grandad who seemingly achieved life's milestones so easily. This true-to-home one-man show tells a surreal and honest story about mental health that any age can relate to. Told across twelve chapters and combining elements of visual story telling, direct address, multi-rolling, spoken word and stand-up comedy."
Next up is Fishbowl from Stories in Theatre Productions, which plays the Pleasance Grand. It is billed as "the hilarious misadventures of three eccentric and lovable anti-heroes crammed in their wacky rooftop bedsits. The funniest show in Europe comes to Edinburgh after a sell-out tour. Molière Award for Best Comedy Play. Physical comedy extravaganza! Paper-thin walls barely separate three neighbours who strike up unlikely and moving friendships. The show packs a punch with technical genius, an incredibly realistic set, and tricks and surprises that shock and delight audiences. "
We'll be adding more trailers each day in the run up to, and during the Fringe.

Put a little twist on a firm classic by adding bacon to your smoked haddock fish pie. This is a really luxurious fish pie option that's perfect for a dinner party when you want something a little more special but less heavy than a traditional roast or intricate meal.
Serve this recipe up with a side of green veg like peas or magetout, or if you'd like, you could also serve it up with a side of salad leaves. Guests will love the unique flavour combination and will be asking for seconds, so make sure you've made enough to go around!
Heat the oven to 160C fan, gas 4. Heat the milk, bay and peppercorns in a pan, add the fish and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the fish; discard the skin. Cool the liquid; strain and reserve 500ml. Fry the bacon with the butter until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Cook the leek for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, then add the mustard. Gradually pour in the poaching liquid, stirring until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the Cheddar. Scatter chunks of the fish in a large pie dish, then the bacon. Pour over the sauce.
For the topping, steam the potatoes for 15 minutes. Mash with the butter and milk; season. Spoon over the fish. Sprinkle over the Cheddar; bake for 35 minutes.

End of federal $600 unemployment benefit leaves Minnesotans anxious
Dan Kraker
Duluth, Minn.
Shelly DeWees says the extra $600 in federal unemployment benefits has helped pay for child care so she can take her 1-year-old son Ozzy, who has cerebral palsy, to medical appointments. DeWees, who lives in South St. Paul, was furloughed from her part-time marketing job in March.

In late March, Rachel Galarneau was furloughed from her job as a server and bartender at a Minneapolis restaurant. She filed for state unemployment benefits, and started receiving about $400 per week.
"Nobody can live on that, especially when I'm a single mom of a disabled child," said Galarneau, whose 13-year-old daughter, Emma, has autism.
But with the extra $600 per week in the CARES Act aid she's gotten from the federal government, Galarneau said she earned about the same amount as she did at her old job.
"To me, that was a life saver," she said.
But that extra cash expires Friday. And Galarneau, who also has a chronic illness and is at higher risk from the virus, is afraid to go back to work.

She has enough money saved up for a few months, but then is worried about how she's going to pay the rent for her small Edina apartment, and other expenses.
Shelley DeWees of South St. Paul is in a similar predicament. She was furloughed from her part-time marketing job several months ago.
When schools closed, she needed to find child care for her two preschoolers, so she could take her 1-year old, who has cerebral palsy, to medical appointments.
"We found ourselves really looking at a big chasm in our financials," she said.
Her family was able to bridge that chasm with the extra $600 a week in federal funding, she said, which covered their child care costs.
"So we are really, really feeling the strain of potential financial difficulties," DeWees said. "If the $600 doesn't continue and we have no school … and if we don't have money to pay for child care, I can't get my son with cerebral palsy to his appointments."
Congress is currently debating whether to extend the additional federal unemployment payments — and, if so, by how much, and for how long.
About 30 million Americans — including almost 400,000 Minnesotans — are currently relying on unemployment payments, according to the most recent data from the Department of Labor.
"There are good studies out there, high quality studies coming out, showing how this is staving off food insecurity and housing instability," said Aaron Sojourner, a labor economist at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management.

In other words: It's helping to pay the rent, and put food on the table.
It's also pumping money into the broader economy. A new study found that families receiving benefits increased their spending by 10 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels. Those who kept their jobs reduced their spending.
But with that extra $600, many people are earning more money while they're unemployed than they did while they were working.
University of Chicago researchers found that two-thirds of people who lost jobs have made more while on unemployment.
Many business owners have said that's made it challenging to attract workers.

DEED commissionerOther aid, jobs available to Minnesotans if $600 unemployment boost expires
Sojourner said while that may be true in some instances, overall, there are five times more unemployed workers than available jobs.
"There's just not enough jobs out there for people," he said. "But families still need to make it through the month."
Unemployed workers who spoke to MPR News said they'd love to go back to work — if they could find a job.
"I don't love sitting at home. I know that the rest of America and myself are trying everything we can to get back to work," said Aaron Wheeler of Minneapolis, who was furloughed from his job as a stage manager at the Ordway in St. Paul.
"But we're also in a pandemic. It's not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps situation. It's hey, we need to all collectively work together to figure out how to move forward as a country."
Wheeler has a job interview lined up next week. If he gets it, he'd face a tough decision. It's based in Montana, so he'd have to move. And he loves it here. But if he stays, he knows that theaters in the Twin Cities likely won't open back up until sometime next year.

Delayed tax increase! Tire companies are relieved
On February 24, 2019, the seventh round of China-US high-level economic and trade consultations ended. The consultations made substantial progress on specific issues concerning technology transfer, intellectual property protection, and non-tariff barriers. US President Trump said on Twitter on the 24th that the United States will postpone the measures to impose tariffs on Chinese products on March 1. At a subsequent press conference, Trump said that if everything goes well, things will make a breakthrough in the next one to two weeks.
Prior to this, Trump revealed the intention of easing the Sino-US trade war. Since January this year, four consultations have been held within two months, from the officially announced "important progress" to the "substantial progress". It fully reflects the importance attached by China and the United States to economic and trade consultations. It also looks forward to the meeting between Chinese and American leaders in the near future to witness the historic moment of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
According to the consensus reached by President Xi and US President Trump in December last year, if the United States and China fail to reach an agreement at midnight on March 1, the United States will raise the punitive tariff on Chinese goods by 200 billion US dollars, from 10% to 25 %. These include new pneumatic tires used on aircraft, rubber pneumatic tires used on aircraft, and refurbished rubber pneumatic tires.
Obviously, the tires are in the hardest hit area of tax increase. Once the 25% tariff is imposed, it will undoubtedly cause a serious blow to China's tire exports, especially the export of truck and bus tires. It is understood that the US trucks and buses are heavily dependent on Chinese imports. In response to the 25% tariff increase, many US trailer manufacturers have urgently replenished goods from China. The announcement of the postponement measures is also a sign of the easing of Sino-US relations. In order to achieve positive results before March 1, since January this year, the Sino-US economic and trade team has launched intensive economic and trade consultations.
The seventh round of China-US high-level economic and trade consultations, which began on February 21, has ended. China has repeatedly expressed its position that Sino-US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win. Sino-US economic and trade relations are not only important to China and the United States, but also very important to the development of the global economy and trade. China and the United States and the two interests, fighting is hurt. Both sides have a positive desire to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and promote relevant consultations.
For the tire companies, the US market is still very important. The United States is still China's largest tire exporter. Therefore, the game between China and the United States still affects many tire companies. It is hoped that China and the United States will finally be able to peacefully handle economic and trade frictions and bring the international market back to a calm.

Several hundred Amazon staff are prepared to walk out for a day over climate change:
We want Amazon to commit to zero emissions by 2030 and pilot electric vehicles first in communities most impacted by pollution. We should be leaders reaching zero first, not sliding in at the last moment.
Pledge to walk out with us: https://t.co/Ubcm6G2XWQ pic.twitter.com/vGmLIs9rnY
— Amazon Employees For Climate Justice (@AMZNforClimate) September 9, 2019
Kudos to anyone working there who is prepared to take action – it's is not an easy environment in which to take any kind of political stand.
It's unlikely their actions will result in any fundamental change in direction at Amazon, one of the most notorious engines of latter-day capitalism, but it does matter that they are doing it. Ex-AWS developer advocate and fellow climate activist Paul Johnston in a bracing call to arms explains why:
Or start a movement
Don't do the tech thing and try to be "The One To Fix It"
Because getting people to work together to fight Climate Change is far more likely to have an impact.
Fighting Climate Change isn't a startup problem.
Fighting Climate Change is an everybody problem.
Get on board.
He makes a point of emphasising that collective action, feet on the street, is far more potent than individual statements:
Your individual actions, your recycling, your going vegetarian or vegan, your using a metal bottle instead of plastic, your flying less (Flygskam if you will) will almost certainly make no difference at all to Climate Change.
and that we all need to be aware of the fallacy that "somebody else will fix the "Climate Crisis" problem". He's bullish about the possibility of a turnaround based on his view that societal awareness and alarm is shifting the political landscape fast:
It's not about you, it's about us.
The thing is… with Climate Change, the Overton Window has moved.
Climate Change is more important to voters in the UK than a stable economy
Johnston draws attention to the excellent Project Drawdown which helps to raise awareness of where we need to focus our new found sense of action and it includes non-obvious areas like refrigeration and women's education.
We have long known the root cause of the situation we are in namely, human rapacity of the natural world exacerbated by the same technology that it is claimed will save us:
"The root cause, the source of the symptoms, is 300 years of our relentlessly exploitative, extractive, and exponentially growing technoculture, against the background of ten millennia of hierarchical and colonial civilizations. This should be no news flash, but the seductive promise of endless growth has grasped all of us civilized folk by the collective throat, led us to expand our population in numbers beyond all reason and to commit genocide of indigenous cultures and destruction of other life on Earth."
Tech is very much part of this problem:
From storing the videos in data centers to transferring them to our computers and smartphones via cables and mobile networks, everything about watching videos online requires electricity, so much so that our collective streaming emitted as much carbon as all of Spain last year.
And electric cars aren't going to save us from what's coming:
Gasoline sales are at record levels, and any attempt to convert the U.S. auto sector to EVs will overwhelm global markets in commodities such as cobalt and copper.
The consistent understatement of existential risk remains the heart of the problem in many senses. There is already plenty of evidence of the inexorable changes we are inflicting on the plant for instance in sea level rise where we appear to be heading for a 2m rise by 2100 based on projected data. That itself is a cautious best guess as we have no clear view of how much more than that it may be. The What Lies Beneath report released a year ago made the case that are unforeseen elements such as the collapse of unstable undersea methane hydrate stores that could skew even this scary figure dramatically upwards.
We are heading for an endgame "where very soon humanity must choose between taking unprecedented action, or accepting that it has been left too late and bear the consequences". As a species we have always had a morbid fascination with eschatology, the study of last times but it has perhaps became detached from everyday life in the 20th century as technology-fuelled capitalism overran religious visions of apocalypse. We need to wake up fast because we are heading into the heart of catastrophe:
We have to believe that the end of the world can happen, even as we believe that we can do something about it. And we can.
In our lifetimes, denier or not, we are all going to find out that we're in this together and this is really happening.
While most people don't have suicidal impulses and don't commit suicide, it's hard to argue that our species doesn't have a death wish, however subconscious. It's an incredible thing to live in the midmorning of the 21st century and watch civilization self-destruct in real time.
Francois Chollet, author of Keras, on the state of AI and many other fascinating subjects besides including our excessive resource consumption and the shock of seeing deep learning work. He's an AI skeptic still viewing the latter as a very very long way away from human level intelligence though and questions our belief in the inevitability of the "intelligence explosion" seeing only linear progress at best. Chollet comes across as a really interesting and thoughtful person describing Keras as "scikit-learn for deep learning".
The biggest problem in AI its that machines have no common sense as celebrated AI skeptic Gary Marcus explains here:
Well before AI becomes sentient, it will be exploited for more prosaic and altogether human reasons. The Chinese state is using it in the service of a massive program to build a 21st modern panopticon with technology providing the means of surveillance and population control through an increasingly devious and sophisticated range of delivery vectors.
And humans are not above exploiting AI related trade secrets for their own financial benefit as cited in the case of Anthony Levandowski charged with taking them to Uber when he moved over from Google.
Medium beginners guide to TikTok, the app that is apparently "changing the world" but sounds like social karaoke:
On TikTok everything revolves around "sounds". Sounds are little clips of audio, usually between 15 and 60 seconds long, which can range from music to tv shows to clips of conversations, that are overlaid on top of your TikTok video. When you record on TikTok you can first choose the sound you want to use and then as you hold down the record button the app will play the sound so you can lip synch, dance, or further choreograph your video to the words and beat of the sound.
The Guardian review of the Fairphone 3 is positive in its praise of a phone unlike any other:
You can genuinely repair this phone yourself with modular components you simply unscrew and replace. If the battery is worn out, swap it out for a new one in less than 10 seconds. The Fairphone 3 is arguably the most sustainable phone you can buy, and that's without even looking at the firm's efforts to source all materials and manufacture the phone in as ethical manner as possible.

Dropbox hired Jukka Lehtosalo the author of MyPy to help them on a journey to add type annotations to a codebase of 4 million SLOC and counting.
If you aren't using type checking in your large-scale Python project, now is a good time to get started—nobody who has made the jump I've talked to has regretted it. It really makes Python a much better language for large projects.

Microplastic nurdles are the biggest pollution disaster you've never heard of.
A WHO report on microplastics suggests another pollution disaster in the making if not for us then for marine life:
The report urges the scientific community to further study the potential impact of microplastics on human health, and fast. And it pleads for the world at large to rein in its plastic pollution catastrophe, because human beings aside, microplastics have poisoned even remote reaches of this planet. They're swirling deep in ocean currents and showing up in the seafood we eat. The pervasiveness of microplastic particles is horrifying, and there's no way we can scrub the planet of them.
Nathan Barley was a comedy ahead of its time. What was a joke 20 years ago turned out to be all too real. The Idiots won in the end:
Richard Stallman, doyen of the Free Software movement spoke at Microsoft and some thought it signalled the end of the world:
Richard Stallman is giving a talk at Microsoft campus.
If the world ends today, you know why. pic.twitter.com/7RtELarcUM
— Ale(ssandro) Segala (@ItalyPaleAle) September 4, 2019
And duly enough it did for Stallman. Not long afterwards he was thrown out of the FSF for behaviour brutally called out by John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame:
That Stallman's behavior was tolerated by MIT and the free software community for decades borders on the absurd. He wasn't brought down by ill-conceived comments in a recent mailing list thread regarding Marvin Minsky and Jeffrey Epstein; he was brought down by decades of his own inexcusable behavior finally coming home to roost.
Bloomberg believes Boris Johnson "has badly miscalculated" with his move to eject 21 MPs from the Tory party for refusing to follow the whip.
The unfortunate fact is that the machinery of British politics has become stuck on Brexit. As the process grinds on — chewing through two prime ministers and counting — it is doing worsening damage without producing any forward momentum. More of the same will hardly help. Even at this late date, the best and most democratic way out of this morass is to let the public decide the matter in a second referendum. The alternatives look bleaker by the day.
Perhaps the only way out is to concoct a uniquely British Reichstag Fire moment of our own. It should haunt everyone in the country how Germany went in 1930 from being arguably the most advanced democracy on earth to being a totalitarian state within a couple of year;
The Weimar Republic was a failed democracy, but in the 21st century, democracies fail in different ways. We can't expect a direct re-run. But there are certainly echoes, even if they are not yet audible to most voters. By the time we hear them, we may no longer be in a position to do anything about it.
This LSE blog post sees more in common with the grey Brezhnev years of soviet decline:
"When you explore the neoclassical economics at the root of the UK's neoliberal reforms, it has far more in common with Leninism than with the political economic doctrines of the post-war era."

Meet Bopha
Bopha is a 14-year-old girl. She lives with her mother, father, and two younger brothers in the outskirts of Phnom Penh. She just got a new smart-phone for her birthday and she enjoys using it for Facebook to connect with her friends and to take many pictures.
What does Bopha want to do?
Create a social media profile
After Bopha received her new smartphone, the first thing she wanted to do was create accounts on social media, like Facebook and Instagram. She saw from her friend's profiles that they uploaded so many pictures of themselves having fun, going to the beach, eating at restaurants, and she wanted to upload pictures of herself too.
When opening her account, she was asked to insert so much personal information about herself! Her full name, phone number, where she lives, where she goes to school, what her hobbies are etc. She thought that if her friends have an account, they probably put their information, and there should be no harm in it.
Should Bopha upload all that personal information online?
Add online friends
Bopha just opened a Facebook account and really wanted to increase the amount of friends she had. After adding her real friends and family she started adding friends of friends' and then strangers that sent her a friend request. One of the requests was from a boy she did not know but his profile picture was really cute so she approved him immediately. They started chatting on messenger, and he said his name was Leap and he was 15 years old. He liked the same music as she did and he was so much fun to talk to! After a while he proposed to meet her in person. Bopha wasn't sure she should because she has never met him before. But he was so nice and cute and she was really interested in him.
Should Bopha meet Leap in person?
There is a boy that studies with Bopha at school named Reach. Bopha thinks he is smart and handsome and all the girls in her class like him. When Reach saw she got a new smartphone, he asked for her number. She was really excited and happy to talk with the most handsome boy in class! They messaged for a while, and after a few messages he asked her to send him a photo of herself. She took a selfie and sent him, but he was not satisfied and asked for her to send a naked picture of herself. She was so surprised and felt extremely uncomfortable. He said it was just because he liked her so much and he assured her he won't show it to anyone else. He said they can use an app which will erase the photo automatically after 1 hour so she shouldn't worry. Bopha really liked him and was afraid that if she refused, he would stop talking to her.

Spend Matters has featured our platform and research in a new article.
It promotes our spend analysis tool, which allows users to find out about where the government is spending money and provides a pipeline of future opportunities.
It also praises the completeness of our data compared to Contracts Finder and our research on government procurement.


One of Europe's top rabbis welcomed pro-EU centrist Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French presidential election, saying voters sent a "very powerful" message to the country's far-right.
Macron's sound defeat of far-right rival Marine Le Pen in the run-off vote is "very good news for France," said Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the influential Conference of European Rabbis.
"The fact that two-thirds of French voters didn't want a far-right government is a very powerful statement," Goldschmidt told AFP.
Many of the votes cast were not for Macron, rather "it was a protest vote against Marine Le Pen," he said.
Goldschmidt however said Jewish communities -- including in France -- were increasingly worried about right-wing, anti-Semitic sentiment creeping into mainstream politics.
Despite Le Pen's efforts to purge her National Front (FN) party of the anti-Semitism which became its trademark under the leadership of her father Jean-Marie Le Pen, the party continues to court controversy over the issue.
Last month interim party leader Jean-Francois Jalkh was forced to step down after he was accused of praising a Holocaust denier. Jalkh strenuously denied making the remarks.
Le Pen herself drew criticism for saying that today's France bore no responsibility for the roundup and deportation of French Jews during World War II.
"If the French police and Vichy officials who collaborated (with the Nazis) did not load up people and send them to Germany, then, who did?" said Goldschmidt.
Today French Jews, the largest community outside of the United States and Israel, have been leaving France at a steady pace since around 2005.
Elsewhere on the continent, Jewish communities are alarmed about proposals in Norway to ban ritual circumcision for boys under the age of 16, as well as a vote to ban ritual slaughter in the French-speaking part of Belgium, Goldschmidt said.
He was speaking ahead of a three-day biennial convention in Amsterdam that will bring together more than 70 chief rabbis to discuss issues including rising anti-Semitism and how to protect Europe's Jewish communities.
"Targeted attacks against members of the Jewish community in recent years... demonstrate that anti-Semitism is not a curse of the past, but is a threat and a reality in Europe," the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly said last year.


Driving under the influence in Huntington Beach, California will a criminal offense which will likely land you in jail. Huntington Beach is known for having one of the highest rates of DUI violations in Orange County. Consequently, DUI enforcement is strong throughout the city. You will subsequently have to appear on your criminal case in the West Justice Center located in Westminster, California.
If you are convicted, you face fines and court fees of nearly $2000.00 in addition to other penalties. Some of these penalties may include confinement in jail or community service. A DUI conviction will require you to complete an approved alcohol program as a condition of probation and in order to have your driving privileges reinstated. Some of the more long-term difficulties of a DUI conviction may include higher insurance premiums and interference with job opportunities.
In Huntington Beach, as in every part of California, you will be charged with a DUI if you are caught driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher. Oddly, in some cases you may even be charged if your blood alcohol level is under .08% under section 23152(a) of the California Vehicle Code. If you are convicted of a first offense, you face a maximum penalty of 6 month in jail, although jail is seldom imposed under normal circumstances. In addition, your driver's license will be suspended for a period of six months, you must complete an alcohol program, and you will be required to purchase a SR-22 insurance policy before your license is reinstated.
If you are convicted of a second offense DUI within a ten-year period, you will be required to spend a minimum of 96 hours in jail, with a maximum jail sentence of 1 year. Most judges and prosecutors have customarily imposed a jail sentence of 45 to 90 days for a 2nd DUI in Huntington Beach. Upon conviction, your driver's license will be suspended for two years with the possibility of getting a restricted license after 1 year. While still a misdemeanor, a 3rd DUI violation within 10 years is very serious and can result in habitual traffic offender status. You can be confined in jail for a minimum of 120 days and a maximum of 1 year. A 4th violation is typically charged as a felony.
Following your arrest, you will likely be taken to the Huntington Beach jail to submit to a chemical test and for booking. In most cases, you will be detained for 6-12 hours and then released on your own recognizance.
If you are arrested, please contact the law office of Ardalon Fakhimi at California Criminal Defense Center within 10 days of the date of your arrest. We will provide you with a free case evaluation and let you know what action you will need to take to protect your rights. It is important to contact us promptly as some of the rights related to your driving privileges are time sensitive. We have a strong rapport and familiarity with the judges and prosecutors in the Westminster Court (West Justice Center).

At DigMandarin, we have interviewed and reported on many great Chinese learning resources including Chinese learning video, APP, blog, schools and etc. We also talked a lot about online mandarin Chinese lessons. One of our contributors, Benjamin even wrote 9 tips to help learners choose online lesson. Today, our interview will focus on one of many online Chinese training schools, TutorMing. Their advertisement easily drew my attention, as their spokesman is Yao Ming who is very famous in sports world. The celebrity effect has distinguished the company from the competition. Recently, they updated their website with clean and user friendly interface. We talked with TutorMing`s Director of Marketing, Eric Cheung, to learn more about this Chinese learning school. Let's take a look at what he had to say.
DigMandarin (DM): Who is TutorMing? Can you introduce TutorMing to us?
Eric: TutorMing is a live online service for learning Mandarin Chinese; it was founded in 2008 to meet the demand of Chinese learners everywhere. Using our proprietary technology, platform, and materials, we teach live on the Internet with our certified Chinese consultants, allowing clients to learn anytime and anywhere.
DM: You emphasized TutorMing is a high-tech education company. Why is it?
Eric: TutorMing has developed all of its technology in-house. We are one of the first asynchronous Chinese learning platforms out there. We never stop investing in R&D to provide increasingly better user and learner experience.
DM: Can you tell us more about your class?
Eric: Yes – our classes are conducted live with Chinese consultants. Class sizes are typically 1-3 people per class. We use proprietary technology, platform, and materials for teaching. All of our consultants are required to have verified stable Internet connection.
DM: Could you please illustrate the booking process to us?
Eric: Our booking process is easy. Clients just need to log in here and select a time for class. The beauty of our platform over other ways of tutoring is that clients don't have to spend time negotiating an appointment time that works for both the client and the consultant. We offer classes anytime of the week. This is particularly useful for parents who want to save time as they juggle other daily tasks.
DM: The payment is one of the things learners care most. It seems there is no tuition fee information on your site. Why? Can you tell our audiences the cost?
Eric: Classes are typically around $20 each. The duration of the learning process starts at one year. We believe commitment to learning is very important.
DM: What advantages does your team have? What are your strengths compared to the other online Chinese schools?
Eric: One of the key differentiators is definitely our customer protection service. We are always there to help. We want to provide the best learning experience possible. The other differentiator is our proprietary DCGS (Dynamic Course Generation System), which dynamically matches clients with materials and consultants of the right level and interest.
DM: What is the biggest challenge as an online Chinese school?
Eric: One of the biggest challenges in online Chinese schools is that learners have yet to discover all the benefits and flexibility that they can provide. With a live learning model like ours, clients can save a lot of time and effort in searching for the right teacher and right schedule. The whole point of online Chinese school is to help solve logistic problems, and we are good at that.
DM: Can you share your future plan with us? I hear that there is a TutorGlass, what is it?
Eric: Going forward, TutorMing will continue to invest in the platform and seek to make the learning experience more ubiquitous. TutorGlass is a technology we are developing based on Google Glass. The idea is to allow clients see what the consultants are seeing, creating a completely different learning perspective. Aside from that, TutorMing has a number of new features and resources in the pipeline for learners.
After the interview with Eric, we decided to take a look at TutorMing ourselves and see what it had to offer. With our interview with Eric and our experience with the online school, here is how we viewed it.
Funded by the famous Chinese company, Alibaba, the whole TutorGroup is reliable, as well as the Chinese branch TutorMing.
Technology based system. TutorMing use their patented Dynamic Course Generation System (DCGS), which will make real-time adjustments to courses based on your self-assessment, consultants' evaluations, and other relevant parameters. Their IT team will support the tech things better.
Small size (1-3) class makes sure there is enough time for you to communicate with tutor.
According to their consultant list, it seems the tutors are very professional and you can learn both traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
All their teaching materials are made by their tutors and updated all the time from K12 to Business Chinese.
Privacy protection. If you are shy and don`t want to get pressure from tutor, then the one-way webcam system is made for you. You can see the tutor, but he/she can`t see you.
It`s extremely flexible around refund. All reasons are fully considered.
The package you book will valid for just one year and there are no minimum participation requirements. Self-discipline is necessary.
Be careful about the penalty of cancel. You must cancel or reschedule the booked class 4 hours prior to class to avoid penalty.
As it`s all automatic booking process, you may not learn with the same tutor each class.
The privacy protection feature does not allow consultants to see the students, so consultants rely on verbal cues, and no visual cues, in teaching.
Other online classes are between $12 – $25 dollars each on average. TutorMing`s classes are typically around $20 each. It`s located in medium high.
As the E-learning industry expands vastly, it is hard to choose which one would be the best option. Many of us have tried various online learning resources and there are numerous Chinese schools that you may like to know about. Please tell us what and which ones you want to know about. We will be happy to interview or review their products and give our impressions about the company/services.
Also, if you have tried TutorMing before or had great or bad service with other companies, please comment below and share your experience with us. If you have any question about TutorMing's service, feel free to ask and comment below! Good Luck with your studies!
I am an online Chinese tutor from China. One of my students studied at tutorming but quit later, because he said scheduling classes was a little difficult. I think this is what needs to be improved by the "hi-tech".

Premier League boss gives Arsenal legend backing to replace Wenger
Gunner Sphere | 07:09 03/03/18
Arsenal find themselves at a crossroads once again and it seems it may finally be time for the Gunners to make the decision to move away from Arsene Wenger, after a woeful run of form in 2018.
The north London side have sensationally already lost seven matches since the turn of the year, including four of their last five games in all competitions- the latest of which to Manchester City leaves them ten points adrift in the chase for a top-four finish.
Speculation on the future of Arsenal and Wenger has risen significantly, with a number of names being touted as potential replacements for the French boss.
One of those floating around is that of Gunners legend Thierry Henry, who has previously admitted it would be a 'dream' to manage the side where he became the club's highest all-time scorer during his successful career.
Despite a lack of managerial experience, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who worked with Henry at Barcelona, has given his backing to the former forward. Speaking after Thursday's 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium, he said:
"If he wants to be manager, he has the talent to do it. But he has to decide, not me."
Henry isn't the only candidate reported to be in the running though as Arsenal have reportedly eyed the likes of Celtic's Brendan Rodgers, former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti, Monaco's Leonardo Jardim and Germany's World Cup winning boss Joachim Lowe.

After the birth of new China in 1949, the Chinese government formulated and implemented the policy of religious freedom and established a new relationship between politics and religions in accordance with the actual condition of the country. Chinese citizens are free to choose and express their religious belief as well as demonstrate their religious status. All religions are equally and coexist harmoniously with one another and there is so far no such thing as dispute among different religions. Religious believers and non-believers also respect to each other and they live together peacefully.
In January 1994, the Chinese government promulgated the Regulation on the Management of Places for Religious Activities to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of these places; in that February, the Chinese government also promulgated the Regulation on the Management of Foreigners' Religious Activities in the People's Republic of China in order to respect the religious freedom of foreigners in China and to protect foreigners' friendly exchange and cultural and academic communication concerning religion with people from Chinese religious circle.
Chinese laws also stipulate that normal missionary affairs and religious services in places of religious activities or at home of believers in accordance with religious practice, such as paying homage to the Buddha, reciting scripts on religious classics, worship services, prayer, interpreting religious works, preaching, Mass, baptism, being initiated into monkhood or nunhood, practicing abstinence during Ramadan, observing religious festivals, sacrament in critical situations and recollection of late figures, should be completely carried out by religious organizations and believers and are protected by law. No one may interfere with these activities.
Like many other countries in the world, China adopts the principle of separating religion from state education and except in several colleges and research institutes that are responsible for the education and study of religion, religion is not taught in public education. Schools founded by religious organizations are entitled to carry out systematic education on religion according to their actual conditions.
Over the long period of historical development, religious culture in China has become a component of traditional Chinese ideological culture. All religious organizations value the principle of making contribution in the service of society and people. For instance, Buddhism advocates the principle of making the country powerful and people's life prosperous, Catholicism and Christianity underline the doctrine of glorifying God and benefiting people, Taoism upholds the proposition of rendering utmost love to everyone and serving the society by subliming the temperament of others and Islam embraces the faith of achieving happiness in both this life and aftertime.

Innovation drives Seychelles blue economy approach

Our oceans provide everything from food for billions around the world, to protecting communities and economies from storms—bringing it at least $1.5 trillion to the global economy every year. But they also face a barrage of threats, from marine pollution and dwindling fish stocks, to the dramatic effect of climate change on coastal communities. Such challenges require new ways of thinking and innovative financing tools that address both the health and economic wealth of our oceans.
Seychelles is a good example of a country that is going beyond business as usual when it comes to preserving its natural assets. In 2016, the Seychelles completed an innovative debt-for-nature conversion with The Nature Conservancy. This deal raised funding to buy $21 million of Seychelles' sovereign debt to refinance it under more favorable terms, and then direct a portion of repayments to fund climate change adaptation, sustainable fisheries, and marine conservation projects – as well as to create an endowment for the benefit of future generations of Seychellois.
As part of the deal, the Seychelles committed to a comprehensive Marine Spatial Plan (MSP), which will cover their entire marine area of almost 1.4 million square kilometers. Here, the government is demonstrating its global ocean leadership credentials, driving an ambitious agenda to capture sustainable value from its ocean while also securing 30% (410,000 sq km) of its ocean area in new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
Late last month, on the sidelines of a conference co-hosted by the World Bank and the Seychelles on sustainable and climate-resilient ocean economies in Africa, the Seychelles government announced it had completed the first phase of the MSP. The government also announced the creation of two new MPAs (Aldabra Group Marine National Park and Amirantes to Fortune Bank Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), covering 210,000 sq km, or 16% of their ocean, which will now be fully or significantly safeguarded to encourage sustainable development and adaptation to the effects of climate change.
The Republic of Seychelles is also leading the way with other innovative financing tools, including the world's first blue bond. With the support of the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the blue bond is currently under preparation with a proportion of the $15 million proceeds to be co-managed by the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT) to boost support for Seychelles' Blue Economy, including by implementing the MPA. It is a model that can be replicated across small islands and other coastal countries.
As an island nation that depends almost entirely on its ocean, Seychelles is a global biodiversity hotspot containing 115 islands in the Western Indian Ocean, about 1,600 kilometers off the coast of East Africa. Its "Blue Economy" is currently based primarily on fishing and tourism, which, along with its low-lying island geography, makes its people and economy particularly vulnerable to the threats of climate change. That's why a Marine Spatial Plan is so important.
Climate change creates warmer sea surface temperatures, and warmer temperatures cause sea level rise. It is uncertain how marine ecosystems will be affected, but we do know that distribution patterns of species are changing and some species, like corals, are not recovering from extreme warm water events that happened 20 years ago.

The MSP is designed to protect Seychelles' ecological assets while also allowing its Blue Economy to develop sustainably. The Plan provides the management direction and considerations around what human activities are allowed in the new protected areas. The development of a governance and implementation framework for the MSP will be developed over the next year to ensure that these areas are effectively and equitably managed.
To get local buy-in, more than 100 stakeholders were consulted during the preparation of Phase 1 of the MSP, and their views on where and which activities—from fishing, shipping and petroleum exploration to tourism, and scientific research—were allowed, to form the backbone of the Plan. The planning process included 25 committee meetings, nine public workshops, and at least 60 consultations with marine sectors, local experts, and agencies.
This first phase of their new MSP puts the Government of Seychelles way ahead of international targets outlined in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14—Life Below Water—which calls for countries to protect at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas 'consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information.
With the creation of Phase 1 of this MSP and the designation of these two new marine protected areas, the government and the people of Seychelles are demonstrating that strong growth and strong ocean protection are not mutually exclusive – in the face of a changing climate, they are both essential.
