Aussies Of The Bay – Anthony May
Anthony May, Electronics Engineer, Alloy Product Development, SoMa (previously Tendernob, which wore thin after a couple of years.)
October 2015, back when the notion of DJT becoming President was laughable. My husband worked for Atlassian in Sydney and he wanted to do the go-live-n-work-overseas thing. So that was our ticket over here on the L1/L2 visas.
The cost! Our two cats' relocation cost more than our air tickets, but half a 20′ shipping container makes that look like pocket money. Then 1+1 month rent & 1 month bond at SF rental rates was brutal.
There's been many, but one of them was a day 1 year ago while I was job-hunting, which I chronicled in one of my most up-voted Quora answers to a similar question, so here's an except and the link to the full Answer:
Meet the CEO of another tech start-up who was developing an Augment Reality head-set with ambitious specs. She's a 5′ 0″ young Asian woman who was extremely difficult to understand due to a thick Chinese accent and a tendency to speak way too fast, had difficulty maintaining eye contact, but she was clearly very very smart, technically fearless, & busy iterating their design. She and her co-founder work from a home in the hills south of Twin Peaks that's been converted to a hard-core tech-den.
When she opened the front door and invited me in, I was confronted by a set of carpeted stairs that obviously hadn't been vacuumed in 15 months. Getting around inside was a constant exercise in not tripping over stuff that covered the floors: piles of boxes, 'shelved' experiments, lab equipment everywhere, a pile of unopened Amazon deliveries. If I were to start work there it would be impossible for me to not become Den Mother and try to clean the place before starting actual work – every day. "
Hard to say, but I suspect not much! These days Australians are everywhere in the Bay Area, so there's not much surprise/shock-factor, also because it's an incredible something-something-melting-pot. My husband worked in the Atlassian SF office until recently, where there's a revolving door of staff moving between SF & Sydney, so the Americans there seem to happily soak up the Aussie culture.
Oh geez, so many. Um, 6 months here and we're driving back from a weekend in Yosemite (awesome!), through Oakville in the Central Valley, a tiny town that bills itself as "The World's Cowboy Capital," where a car sped past us with a bumper-sticker "Liberalism is a mental illness"? I probably wouldn't blink at that now, but back then while still in the 'liberal bubble of California', it was a bit of a shock that we didn't have to drive too far out of the inner liberal bubble of SF Bay Area to be reminded how politically polarised this country is. I didn't know until a year later that Bakersfield, a little to the south, is California's 'Trump Central'. Yup.
Do your research! The Australians In SF (& CA) Facebook groups were pretty useful for us before and after the move, so I try to give back there when I can. Knowing the sequence of things you need to do from day-1 can be pretty important to minimise the time without an SSN and bank account so that you can actually be paid ASAP, which is important when you've just dropped $10-15k to get the keys to a rental apartment! lol
Feel free to add your own thoughts and notes here.
When Bluestone Lane opened here in SF, the young Aussie girl who was over here from Aus temporarily setting up the shop asked me "So, what's it like living over here?" I replied, "*sigh* It's a complicated place…", and immediately she said "EVERYONE SAYS THAT! What do you MEAN?!?!" I chuckled. I could've just rattled off the usual platitudes and head-scratchings, which are all mostly true, but that doesn't inform much because just about everyone's heard them anyway.
I think us Aussies over here start out looking at the USA and its crazy s**t – politics, health insurance, gun violence, etc – and dismiss it with a pretty black-n-white 'Oh why don't you just…?' or 'Hey, most of the developed world's sorted that s**t out – maybe you should take your heads out of your arses for a minute and have a look?' attitude.
If only it were that simple. Even if you account for American Exceptionalism and the ambivalence most Americans have about life outside the US, their history is pretty frakkin complicated – and I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface – and it's all lead up to where they are now. We can no more snap our fingers and change any of that, any more than a Silicon Valley Libertarian could snap their fingers and convince Australians there's more to wealth creation than amassing multiple negatively geared investment properties and screwing the next generation.
It's best just to let Americans be Americans, and Australians be Australians, and clink beers together. Some of them even like Vegemite, so there's hope.
[suggested question: How long do you think you'll stay here? ]
We've already been here longer than we first thought we would. We're thinking about where next, perhaps somewhere in Europe, probably move next year. Not quite ready to settle back in Australia just yet… :-)"

The Evangelical Alliance to lead a series of seminars at CRE
Catch the Evangelical Alliance at this year's Christian Resources Exhibition
The law and our gospel freedoms. Cultivating an evangelistic culture in our churches. Tips on how to resolve conflict. Nurturing public leaders within our congregations. How to keep God at the heart of business. These are just a handful of the topics that a team from the Evangelical Alliance will delve into in a series of expert-led seminars at this year's Christian Resources Exhibition.
The three-day event, which will take place from 16 to 18 October at the Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher, Surrey, will also showcase an extensive range of products and services, to give national and local church leaders a one-stop shop for what they may need to strengthen their ministries. Jews for Jesus UK, Mission Aviation Fellowship and Green Pastures Housing are among the other Christian organisations that will also be exhibiting at the resource exhibition.
Individual members of the Evangelical Alliance can get their tickets to CRE completely free! Get your ticket here.
Jo Frost, director of communications and membership at the Evangelical Alliance, commented: "It's a pleasure to be involved with CRE this year. We have always been committed to supporting churches and individual Christians around the UK to make Jesus known. So working with CRE, offering a broad range of seminars and workshops, and connecting with people personally is a perfect fit for us, as we all seek to serve ministries and celebrate the life-changing good news of Jesus."
CRE's managing director, Steve Goddard, said: "For churches facing a multitude of questions, from finance to dry rot, planning applications to databases, CRE is a day of discovery. Experts fill every aisle, representing some 200 organisations, and they will guide attendees through the complexities of local and international ministry in an ever-changing world. Choose from more than 50 free seminars, on everything from sound systems to security, youth work to overseas mission, then relax in Cindy's Bar, offering music, theatre and conversation. No wonder CRE is often called the 'ideal church show'."

Molossops mattogrossensis () è un pipistrello della famiglia dei Molossidi diffuso nell'America meridionale.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Pipistrello di piccole dimensioni, con la lunghezza totale tra 75 e 80 mm, la lunghezza dell'avambraccio tra 29 e 30 mm, la lunghezza della coda tra 24 e 25 mm, la lunghezza del piede tra 7 e 8 mm, la lunghezza delle orecchie tra 13 e 14 mm e un peso fino a 7,5 g.

Aspetto
La pelliccia è corta, sparsa e si estende sui piedi fino alle dita. Le parti dorsali sono castano scure con la base dei peli bianca, mentre le parti ventrali sono biancastre o grigiastre. La testa è appiattita, con il muso lungo ed appuntito. È presente una sacca golare. Le orecchie sono marroni scure, corte, triangolari e separate tra loro. L'antitrago è grande e semi-circolare. Le membrane alari sono marroni scure, la superficie dorsale dell'avambraccio è ricoperta di escrescenze granulari, caratteristica unica tra i molossidi del Nuovo Mondo. La coda è lunga, tozza e si estende per circa la metà oltre l'uropatagio. Il cariotipo è 2n=48 FN=60 o 62.

Biologia

Comportamento
Si rifugia nelle fessure delle rocce in prossimità del suolo. Le escrescenze cornee sugli avambracci permettono un'aderenza sulle superfici porose granitiche e diminuire quindi le catture da parte di potenziali predatori come serpenti e marsupiali.

Alimentazione
Si nutre di Coleotteri, Ditteri, Emitteri, Lepidotteri, Omotteri, Imenotteri ed Ortotteri.

Riproduzione
Femmine gravide sono state osservate in agosto, mentre le nascite avvengono tra novembre e dicembre.

Distribuzione e habitat
Questa specie è diffusa nella Colombia sud-orientale, Venezuela centrale e meridionale, Guyana occidentale e meridionale, Bolivia centro-orientale e Brasile centrale e sud-orientale.

Vive nelle foreste e nel caatinga.

Stato di conservazione
La IUCN Red List, considerato il vasto areale, classifica M.mattogrossensis come specie a rischio minimo (LC).

A fellow bus rider wearing three pairs of eyeglasses reached across the aisle and asked me to touch his phone. "It's so hot," he said. "Please. Why is the phone so hot?" I apologized and returned to my reverie of capitalism's detritus floating against the pale Mojave sky.
Over the past two years, I've taken around twelve of these rides from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, so this must have been around the thirteenth. I was heading to town for the biannual Affordable Shopping Destination expo of March 2018, a four-day wholesale-merchandise trade show held across all two million square feet of the Las Vegas Convention Center's exhibit space.
I'd heard there would be a lot of stuff at this expo. You know, products. Of the type sold at our nation's truck stops, car-wash gift shops, airport kiosks, and dollar stores. An estimated forty-five thousand attendees from pretty much every retail and distribution channel would come to interact and strike deals with the twenty-six-hundred-plus importers, vendors, and suppliers—and I, a stranger with a slow-growing penchant for conventions, would join them.
Mikhail Clodt, Der Abschied, before 1902.
It is a strange thing to monetize your emotions. Anyone who writes or creates knows this. And the work one does on the Internet feels insubstantial, even by the flimsy standards of intellectual property. Any body of digital work is a funny mixture of ephemeral and immortal, and it's hard to know how to feel about such an archive.
The same day I ate the hot dog—indeed, the same layover—I found myself in conversation with a group of other travelers. One commented on the crowds, and another said, "Tampa's not a small place but it's nothing like this," and they all talked about the energy of the city versus the pleasures of having moved to Florida. It was very friendly. Then one woman said, "Not New York, though. I hate New York." Then they all piled on with gusto, discussing the general crumminess that is New York, the rudeness, the filth, the overwhelming pace, and all manner of other clichés. It all happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to jump in and defend my hometown.
I had a brief layover in Chicago. I was starving, slightly shaky with hunger, and getting to the point where any option seemed wrong. In that state, it seemed I didn't deserve food, and probably I would never eat again. People talk a lot about the rage of hunger. I'm more acquainted with the despair.
I was in a small corner of the terminal without many shops. It seemed hopeless. I was staring blindly at a kiosk of prepackaged, chilled sandwiches, fat-free yogurts, and Red Delicious apples—I had tears in my eyes—when a man popped his face out from somewhere and said: "We have hot dogs." An angel's chorus could not have been sweeter to my ears. "What do you want on it?" he asked.
"Court reporter," said the other woman.
After loading up on coffee and quartered bagels, we all traveled another ten stories and were directed to our respective courtrooms. I was assigned to wait in a nearby office with a few other witnesses. "Who are you?" asked a man already sitting at a desk.

WIPO Media Center
Francis Gurry led WIPO as Director General from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2020.
WIPO Launches New On-line Tool to Facilitate Brand Searches
Geneva, March 8, 2011
PR/2011/681
A new on-line tool launched by WIPO on March 8, 2011, will make it easier to search over 640,000 records relating to internationally protected trademarks, appellations of origin and armorial bearings, flags and other state emblems as well as the names, abbreviations and emblems of intergovernmental organizations. The Global Brand Database allows free of charge, simultaneous brand-related searches across multiple collections.
"The Global Brand Database is a centralized search facility which will greatly facilitate searching hundreds of thousands of records containing brand-related information," said WIPO Director General Francis Gurry. "This is an important part of WIPO's efforts to facilitate access to such valuable assets and reflects the Organization's commitment to narrowing the global knowledge gap by improving access to and use of IP information." Mr. Gurry said he expected national collections to be added to this database in the future.
At present, the Global Brand Database search interface allows users to access three WIPO databases – international trademarks registered under the Madrid system for the international registration of marks; appellations of origin registered under the Lisbon system for the international registration of appellations of origin; and armorial bearings, flags and other state emblems as well as the names, abbreviations and emblems of intergovernmental organizations protected under Article 6ter of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property – by means of one simple, user-friendly screen.
The Global Brand Database builds on existing search resources related to brands by providing a one-stop shop for searching multiple sources. A novelty is the addition of an advanced function that allows searching for fuzzy and phonetic terms.
The service will be integrated into WIPO GOLD, which provides quick and easy on-line access to a broad collection of searchable IP data and tools relating to, for example, technology, brands, designs, statistics, WIPO standards, and international classification systems.
For more information, please contact the News and Media Division at WIPO:

Georgia College's Award-Winning Student Newspaper
© 2019 by THE COLONNADE
Eric Tenbus to join GC's Arts and Sciences as dean
Florrie McCard | Contributing Writer
Eric G. Tenbus will assume his new role as dean of GC's College of Arts and Sciences effective June 1, 2018.
Tenbus currently serves as professor and chair of the Department of History, Sociology, Anthropology and Cross-Disciplinary Studies at the University of Central Missouri.
A long-time Floridian, Tenbus spent many years of his life passing through the small town of Milledgeville via 441 on road trips. However, it wasn't until last fall that GC really caught his attention.
Current Dean Ken Procter announced his retirement in spring 2017. Following the announcement, the College of Arts and Sciences formed a search committee composed of its faculty, staff, students and alumni. With the help of search firm Issacson, Miller, the committee assembled a diverse national candidate pool.
Four finalists visited Milledgeville for on-campus interviews in November and December 2017 prior to Tenbus's selection. Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Kelli Brown said she is confident in his ability to build upon the strong foundation of GC's largest college.
"Dr. Tenbus is an accomplished scholar, educator and administrator and has the necessary experience, temperament and sense of humor to successfully lead the college," Brown said.
GC outlined its goals for the coming years in its 2016-2021 strategic plan, entitled "Our Path to Preeminence." Tenbus said he feels prepared to guide the College of Arts & Sciences toward achieving this ideal.
"What I'm most looking forward to is the challenge and the opportunity to join an organization that is doing something very well and help the institution continue along that path," Tenbus said.
One of GC's defining features is its designation as Georgia's public liberal arts institution. Tenbus describes himself as a firm believer in the liberal arts as the foundation for all higher education.
A historian by trade, he points out that some of the oldest, most prestigious institutions in the U.S. today were founded with the liberal arts at their core.
"The liberal arts are essential to the proper working of our democracy," Tenbus said.
Tenbus also said he is passionate about interdisciplinary interactions. He is energized by the idea of creating new opportunities for engagement across the 13 departments in the College of Arts & Sciences.
This passion for interdisciplinary work is woven throughout his own background and unique path to academia. As an undergraduate student in professional writing at Carnegie Mellon University, Tenbus's dream was to write for Rolling Stone.
"Music was my first passion," Tenbus said. "I never thought I'd be a teacher."
Following his college graduation, he worked for a marketing firm in his hometown of Vero Beach, Florida. When the opportunity presented itself to work for his favorite baseball team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, he jumped at the chance.
Following his work with the Dodgers, Tenbus earned a master's degree in mass communication from Florida State University. Several years in the corporate marketing world followed.
His next and most pivotal career change can actually be attributed to an Irish pub.
This Irish pub in particular had been open since the 14th century. Celebrating a late honeymoon with his wife, Tenbus was struck by the sheer history surrounding them as they enjoyed their pints.
History wasn't Tenbus's major or his minor; however, it was something he always liked.
Tenbus tossed around the idea of going back to school again, only this time to get a master's in history. But his wife, Kristy Tenbus, encouraged him to take it a step further.
"I remember thinking that he'd make a great teacher, but I told him he couldn't stop with the master's," she said. "He better finish it and get the Ph.D."
Following the defense of his Ph.D. dissertation in 2001, Tenbus joined the faculty of the University of Central Missouri as an assistant professor. This year marks his seventh year as department chair.
Now 17 years into his third career, Tenbus often reassures students anxious about future careers.
"I'm a perfect example of not having to know when you're 18 years old," he said.
Today, Tenbus is a dynamic teacher and scholar. Known to show Monty Python when teaching about medieval Britain, his sense of humor and personal touch are always present in the classroom.
"If you love your subject, if you're passionate about your subject, you'll make it come naturally for your students," Tenbus said. "If I'm having fun, hopefully my students are having fun."
Tenbus will arrive in June 2018 to share his passion with GC.

Flames' Backlund embraces challenge of fling on the wing
Wes Gilbertson, Postmedia News (wgilbertson@postmedia.com)
Nov 16, 2019; Glendale, AZ, USA; Calgary Flames' Mikael Backlund (11) skates against Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (23) during the third period at Gila River Arena. Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports ORG XMIT: USATSI-405294
DENVER — Sean Monahan had just marked a significant games-played milestone.
Mikael Backlund was suddenly winging it.
For these unexpected linemates, the quips — and the chemistry — seemed to come easy.
"We were joking about it right away when we heard it — 'Well, it only took them 500 games to figure it out, I guess,' " Backlund grinned prior to Monday's matchup between the Calgary Flames and Colorado Avalanche in the Mile High City. "Mony was saying, 'Of all the players, I didn't expect you at all to be on my line today.' "
So far, this unlikely combo has stuck.
It's been a week now since Flames interim coach Geoff Ward called Backlund into his new office at the Saddledome and floated an idea — that he'd like to experiment with using No. 11 on the right wing.
And so, Calgary's usual second-line centre found himself on the flank.
"I was a little surprised, at first," Backlund admitted. "I mean, I haven't done it in my whole career in the NHL and no other coach has asked me before. But then I was like, 'Yeah, sure. No problem.' It got me a little excited to try something new.
"You know, at the time, we were playing decent but our offensive game wasn't where we wanted. Changing things up maybe sparks you sometimes, and I totally agree with Wardo on that. I was just like, 'Yeah, this will be a good opportunity for me to try something new.' And over the long run, it's always good to be able to play different positions. Your team is always going to appreciate that."
What made Backlund seem like a long-shot candidate to be shifted to the wing is that the 30-year-old Swede has carved out a reputation as one of the NHL's most reliable defensive centres.
In fact, he finished fourth in Selke Trophy voting in 2016-17, just missing out on an invite to the annual awards gala.
He was eighth on the ballots last season.
The thinking, however, behind this fling on the wing was to allow Backlund to focus a little more on offence, to free him up from spending so much time as the F3 — hockey-speak for the high forward, the last to enter the attacking zone.
"He doesn't have to be the F3 as much, so he's able to get in, get in on pucks, make some plays," Ward explained after Monday's morning skate at Pepsi Center. "He has good hands and protects it well. So we just felt like, instead of him trying to worry about what's going on defensively all the time, let's give him an opportunity to play with the puck a little bit more. That was the main reason.
"We feel like we have two guys who can play in the middle on that line, which gives us some versatility. But we just felt the combination of those two may have some chemistry, and it's turned out that, in the first couple of games anyway, they have shown some real potential together."
Perhaps, their former bosses will be wondering why they didn't think to try this improbable pair.
In his first 500 outings in the Flaming C, Monahan figures his only shifts alongside Backlund came during overtime sessions five or six seasons ago. ("He's a smart player," Monahan said of his sudden sidekick. "Obviously, we're both centremen so we kind of think the game the same way. So we can read off each other and make some plays.")
Backlund has now logged 652 appearances at the big-league level, all but the past three of 'em as a pivot.
His last stint as a winger was during the NHL lockout in 2012, when he stayed sharp with his hometown team, Vasteras IK, in Sweden's second pro division.
"It's fun," Backlund said. "I look at it as a good challenge."

Q: LibGDX Orthographic camera not rendering at certain angles I'm currently experimenting with different cameras in libgdx (using ShapeRenderer). However I've found that at certain rotations it stops rendering segments of the shape.
For example the normal shape with camera
Position: (8.999996,7.699995,5.599995)
Direction: (0.04838332,-0.60004705,-0.7576189):

However with camera
Position: (8.999996,7.699995,5.0999956)
Direction: (0.6789076,-0.57323986,-0.38322547):

As far as I'm aware this does not occur on PerspectiveCamera (I haven't tested it extensively though so I might be wrong).
Code snippets
Aux. Info:
VIEWPORT_WIDTH = 20;
VIEWPORT_HEIGHT = 13;
gridDist = 1.2f;

The x and y for each tile is an Integer (like a grid).
Setting up camera (I am using Scene2D.Stage):
public MainStage(){

        super(new ScalingViewport(Scaling.stretch, VIEWPORT_WIDTH, VIEWPORT_HEIGHT, new OrthographicCamera(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight())));
        camera = (OrthographicCamera) this.getCamera();
        camera.direction.set(0f, 0.3f,-0.92f);
        camera.position.set(10f,0f,10f);
        camera.update();
}

Drawing Tiles (X/Y coordinates) :
renderer.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);

renderer.begin(ShapeType.Line);
renderer.setColor(1, 1, 0, 1);
for(GridTile[] trow: room.tiles){
    for(GridTile tile: trow){

        if(tile.status != EMPTY){

            if(tile.status == FULL){
                renderer.rect(tile.x*gridDist, tile.y*gridDist, gridDist, gridDist);

Does anyone know why this occurs and if it is possible to prevent?

A: The camera only renders elements between the near and far planes.
The default values are 0 (near) and 100 (far) in a orthographic camera , the values correspond to the distance between the plane and the camera, according to the documentation they must be positive https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/ci/nightlies/docs/api/com/badlogic/gdx/graphics/Camera.html#near but I have tried negative values without problems (plane located behind the camera)
The far and near values can be easily modified
camera.near = 1f;
camera.far = 50f;

Boris Lvin
Об Британский Совет
7 февраля посол России в Великобритании Федотов посетил один из комитетов палаты лордов и ответил на вопросы о некоторых аспектах русско-английских отношений. После нескольких раундов обязательных формул разговор перешел на больной вопрос, и вот что было сказано:
Lord Anderson of Swansea: You are absolutely right, Ambassador, to point to the exhibition as a very good example of that co-operation but it would be remiss of us not to mention the British Council in this context. I think it is fair to say that most people in this country are puzzled and saddened by the relationship of the Council, whose aim is to build bridges of understanding between this country and Russia, yet political motives seem to have supervened, frankly, to the cost of those Russian citizens who want to learn English, who want to come to this country. How do you read this and what is the objection to a cultural agreement which would find a place for the British Council to do its very valuable work within Russia?
Mr Fedotov: Russia does not have any concerns about what the British Council is doing in Russia, and we believe it is doing well in terms of cultural exchange and education but, unfortunately, the activities of the British Council in Russia lacked legal grounds. As a matter of fact, the 1994 agreement which provides for the development of cultural relations between Russia and the UK mentioned only the possibility of opening cultural centres and also indicated the need to have a special agreement on that, which, unfortunately, has not yet been signed although we were quite close to finalising an agreement last year. Then, unfortunately, because the Lugovoi/Litvinenko case was over-politicised by the British side, all tracks of negotiations between Russia and the UK on some bilateral issues were suspended, including the discussion of the agreement on cultural relations and the British Council, which so far does not have any legal ground for its activities in Russia. As a gesture of good will, although all the legal problems which are applicable to the British Council offices, for instance, in Saint Petersburg and the Yekaterinburg are also applicable to the British Council in Moscow, the Russian Government is not insisting on the suspension of the British Council offices in Moscow. We hope that the situation will improve and we will be able to resume the discussion of the bilateral agreement on cultural centres and that will allow the British Council to have a very solid legal foundation for its future activities in Russia.
Lord Anderson of Swansea: Are those negotiations likely to begin soon?
Mr Fedotov: We are prepared to resume these negotiations as soon as the British side accept that the other tracks should also be resumed, including the visa agreement. I mentioned our progress with the European Union but unfortunately we are lagging far behind the European Union with our bilateral visa problems with the UK. Unfortunately, the visa problem now creates an impediment to contacts between the people of Russia and of England and that is very unfortunate. There are other matters, like the suspension of co-operation in counterterrorism bilaterally. That was another step taken by the British Government against Russia. What we are basically suggesting is a kind of zero option, coming back to the situation in July last year, which will allow us to resume the negotiations on the agreement for cultural centres. As I said, we were very close to the finalisation of this agreement. There are a few remaining not very important details and that of course will help the legal foundation for the British Council in Russia.
Lord Crickhowell: Ambassador, this is an issue which the European Community has expressed complete support for the British position on. It is a European issue as well as a British issue. What I find difficult to understand and I found difficult to understand as I listened to you was that you started by saying that there were no concerns about what the British Council was doing in Russia. You pointed to some legal disagreements which you thought could be resolved anyway but you made it very clear, as has your Foreign Ministry in Russia, that what has brought this about are political differences between the British Government on certain political issues. What I think we all find very difficult to understand is on a cultural issue, an educational issue, an issue on which you say there are no concerns, which relate to your opening statement about Europe and Russia and Russia and Europe, is how political differences on other issues, visas or anything else, can be allowed to create a situation in which these educational and cultural exchanges can be broken off, interrupted and interfered with. We simply do not comprehend how these kinds of political differences can involve something like the British Council.
Mr Fedotov: First of all, I do not think the suspension of the activities of two regional offices of the British Council, small, regional offices, would be a real impediment for the cultural education and co-operation between Russia and the UK. As a matter of fact, this co-operation continues and always, by the way, even when the British Council was active in Russia, more active than now, there have been other channels for contacts as a matter of culture, education. To take another side of the coin, we have such European institutions as the Goethe Institute, Cervantes, Alliance Française, which continue to operate in Russia because they have a very firm legal foundation and there have been no problems with them. The British Council was established in Russia in 1992 without any agreement. They just came and started to work and only two years later was a framework agreement signed which had a special provision for further consultations in order to get legal status for the offices of the British Council. It would also help us to have the same legal foundation to open a Russian cultural centre. We do not have cultural centres in Russia. Unfortunately, the discussion of this matter has been influenced by the political choice of the British Government to take another legal matter, that of the extradition of Mr Lugovoi, at the highest political level, to make out of it a matter of policy, and that is why other important matters were affected.
Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean: Ambassador, I think we do need to be clear. You have made some very categorical statements, and your last statement, I think, is at least helpful in so far as it does clarify the issue for us – maybe in a stark way but nonetheless such that one could not misunderstand what you are saying. Can I just be clear about this point though? Are you saying that we can resume the discussions about trying to put the British Council, all the British Council offices, on a legal footing in those negotiations at such time as we resume a discussion about the visa issues, or at such time as we have concluded on the visa issues? You have mentioned very specifically a discussion about terrorism issues and you have also raised quite specifically the extradition issues. That is quite a substantial menu on the side of those (a) agreements and (b) a quite specific issue about extradition. Is that the full menu, if I can put it that way, the full list of the issues that you want resolved before we can begin these discussions, or are you saying that if we all do get together to be able to look at these together, that will be the point at which discussions might be resumed?
Mr Fedotov: The Russian Government has offered the British side an option. A few months ago we suggested that if the British Government is prepared to go back to the situation before July 2007 – of course, diplomats were expelled and no-one is asking to let them back but at least the negotiations on the visa issue must resume, our bilateral contacts on counterterrorism must resume, and also, in this case, we are prepared to resume our consultations on the agreement on cultural centres. That does not mean that the progress in all of these tracks must be inter-related, so to say. The most important thing is to start. We realise that for the visa issue we need more time because we are only at the beginning stage but on the cultural centres, we were quite close to the finalisation of this agreement, so it is a matter of a kind of good will from both sides. Unfortunately, this option which was offered by the Russian Government was rejected by the British side as an ultimatum and that brought us to square one again.

Has anybody flown on a Canadair Regional Jet? I know there is no first class, so forget about the upgrade. But what about comfort and noise?
Small, fast regional jets such as the Comair craft that crashed in Kentucky are among the safest and most widely used planes in the sky.
Question: I'm traveling to Austin soon and the only flights in the morning are on regional jets. Are they safe? How experienced are the pilots?
How Safe Are Private Jets? Bill Saporito. Jun 01, 2014. Gulfstream G-IVs and G-Vs are among the preferred rides of the corporate and celebrity elite.

From a young age I have always been drawn to the nature of trees and bees. It wasn't until much later that I started to understand the significant part they play in life on earth. This is why I have chosen to make Trees and Bees my cause.
I pledge that for every product I sell, an absolute minimum of 10% of the profits earned from my shop or online programmes will go to charities supporting these amazing beings.
Trees are the heart and the lungs of the earth. Without them life and the world as we know it cannot exist. There is a significant amount of research on the importance of trees.
Here is a fascinating article about some amazing tree facts! Here is more research with evidence about why trees are so important for our mental and physical wellbeing. And more here research here that shows that trees have a 'heartbeat'.
Bees are the pollinators of the earth. Apart from looking pretty whilst they are hard at work pollinating, without them we have a serious problem propagating flowers, fruit and, of course, there would be no honey either! The world would be a desolate place without them.
Find out more about them and why we need them here. Even thought there are seemingly so many, their species are very susceptible to the harmful toxins we are putting in the earth and skies and they need our protection.
To live a fully self expressed and heart-led life to help create a world where we learn how to choose love over fear.
A world where we remember that our heart is our guiding star, our healer and our connector to all that is essential to us.
For me to create that vision I am learning to live it every day so I can help you to live it too.

The Future Costs of Nuclear Power Using Multiple Expert Elicitations: Effects of RD&D and Elicitation Design
Gregory Nemet
Elena Verdolini
| July-September 2013
Read more about The Future Costs of Nuclear Power Using Multiple Expert Elicitations: Effects of RD&D and Elicitation Design
Characterization of the anticipated performance of energy technologies to inform policy decisions increasingly relies on expert elicitation. Knowledge about how elicitation design factors impact the probabilistic estimates emerging from these studies is, however, scarce. We focus on nuclear power, a large-scale low-carbon power option, for which future cost estimates are important for the design of energy policies and climate change mitigation efforts. We use data from three elicitations in the USA and in Europe and assess the role of government research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) investments on expected nuclear costs in 2030.

Read more about Trends in Investments in Global Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration
Recent national trends in investments in global energy research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) are inconsistent around the world. Public RD&D investments in energy are the metric most commonly used in international comparative assessments of energy-technology innovation, and the metric employed in this article. Overall, the data indicate that International Energy Agency (IEA) member country government investments have been volatile: they peaked in the late 1970s, declined during the subsequent two decades, bottomed out in 1997, and then began to gradually grow again during the 2000s.

"Without energy, there is no economy. Without climate, there is no environment. Without economy and environment, there is no material well-being, no civil society, no personal or national security. The overriding problem associated with these realities, of course, is that the world has long been getting most of the energy its economies need from fossil fuels whose emissions are imperiling the climate that its environment needs."

During the period 1995-1999, the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) produced three major energy studies, at President Clinton's request. The PCAST energy studies demonstrate the possibility of forging consensus around key energy issues and provide a foundation on which, it is hoped, the continuing pursuit of a coherent national policy on energy innovation will be able to build.

The following blog post was co-authored by R Street Governance Project Director Kevin Kosar.
Madonna and Ostrander offer an account of the history of congressional debates over staff numbers and expenditures, from the slow and steady increases since the 1840s to the recent decline. Covering the reform bills of 1893, 1918, 1939, 1946 and 1970, among others, they note certain patterns.
The thing that is wrong with Congress is fear; not fear of lobbies, not fear of criticism, not fear of the dead cats that are thrown at us ever so often; it is a fear that I observed years ago of doing something for ourselves as an institution.
Some congressmen also have claimed that more staff would lead to more bills being introduced, a dubious proposition. More recent debates over congressional staff, such as those that accompanied former Speaker Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" and the Affordable Care Act, reveal that members see value in positioning themselves as favoring less staff. Cutting these "bureaucrats" proves one is not an entrenched D.C. fat cat.
Coupling recent history with public polling, Madonna and Ostrander are pessimistic. More than 90 percent of the public who had an opinion on the matter agree that Congress has too much staff, despite the public's gross underestimation of actual staff numbers. Only 2 percent of American surveyed know staff has decreased recently, and 85 percent erroneously believed staff has increased. Put all these data points together and the probability that members of Congress will increase staffing levels looks slim.
Despite the disincentives, Congress has bolstered its manpower previously. Madonna and Ostrander's analysis indicates the most successful argument in favor of staff increases is the need for the legislative branch to balance the power of the executive branch. With the legislative branch now more dwarfed by the executive branch than ever, one wonders if today's Congress can transcend its ideological warfare and see an institutional interest in strengthening itself.
