All our package come with tracking number,we will send the full tracking message to you mail.
Hello, I've been trying to buy the Ninebot C+. However, whenever I try to make a new account, I get "We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow." I really want to get this vehicle as soon as I can but this Paypal is messing me up.
This is Paypal buyer protection,please make sure your shipping and billing shipping address are the same.
Hello, I ordered my ninebot a week ago. However, on my order, it still mentions that it is processing. Does it take that long to process? If so, will it change? Does processing time and shipping time different?
Have you got our mail when we send your package? We have already send your package,please check your mail with tracking message,Any question please tell us.
I paid for the express delivery method which claimed to send the unit or at least send tracking information within 5-7 business days. I just want everyone reading these questions to know that it's been past this period in my case and I have not received any information. Unless they're just late thats another situation, but in order for a consumer to drop $700+ and not even get information on when the unit was sent is rather irresponsible as it only causes the consumer to become nervous. It's hard to trust anyone, but with swift mailing and tracking information, I would feel more reassured. At the moment, I'm waiting a few more days to make sure I'm not just getting ahead of myself. Otherwise I'll go all the way to China to get my money back next week if it comes to it. I'll keep everyone updated on my order status. Electricunicycleonline, could you please send me a valid tracking number or reimburse me if there are no units to be shipped.

Almeida Prado Jr., F., Athayde, S., Mossa, J., Bohlman, S., Leite, F., & Oliver-Smith, A. (2016). How much is enough? An integrated examination of energy security, economic growth and climate change related to hydropower expansion in Brazil. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 53, 1132–1136.
Abstract: Reconciling economic growth and energy supply with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other goals for environmental protection is a major challenge for emerging economies such as Brazil. Establishing energy security standards consistent with realistic economic growth projections while considering climate change requires complex calculations and relies upon risky assumptions. Yet, such calculations and decisions must be made to avoid future energy shortages and economic crises. This paper discusses the current dilemma concerning planning and decision-making for the Brazilian electric sector considering the construction of hydroelectric power plants in the Amazon region, energy security requirements, projected economic growth and climate change feedbacks.

Barr, J. G., Engel, V., Smith, T. J., & Fuentes, J. D. (2012). Hurricane disturbance and recovery of energy balance, CO2 fluxes and canopy structure in a mangrove forest of the Florida Everglades. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 153, 54–66.
Abstract: Eddy covariance (EC) estimates of carbon dioxide (CO2) ﬂuxes and energy balance are examined to investigate the functional responses of a mature mangrove forest to a disturbance generated by Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005 in the Florida Everglades. At the EC site, high winds from the hurricane caused nearly 100% defoliation in the upper canopy and widespread tree mortality. Soil temperatures down to −50 cm increased, and air temperature lapse rates within the forest canopy switched from statically stable to statically unstable conditions following the disturbance. Unstable conditions allowed more efﬁcient transport of water vapor and CO2 from the surface up to the upper canopy layer. Signiﬁ- cant increases in latent heat ﬂuxes (LE) and nighttime net ecosystem exchange (NEE) were also observed and sensible heat ﬂuxes (H) as a proportion of net radiation decreased signiﬁcantly in response to the disturbance. Many of these impacts persisted through much of the study period through 2009. However, local albedo and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer) data (the Enhanced Vegetation Index) indicated a substantial proportion of active leaf area recovered before the EC measurements began 1 year after the storm. Observed changes in the vertical distribution and the degree of clumping in newly emerged leaves may have affected the energy balance. Direct comparisons of daytime NEE values from before the storm and after our measurements resumed did not show substantial or consistent differences that could be attributed to the disturbance. Regression analyses on seasonal time scales were required to differentiate the storm�s impact onmonthly average daytime NEE fromthe changes caused by interannual variability in other environmental drivers. The effects of the storm were apparent on annual time scales, and CO2 uptake remained approximately 250 g Cm−2 yr−1 lower in 2009 compared to the average annual values measured in 2004�2005. Dry season CO2 uptake was relatively more affected by the disturbance than wet season values. Complex leaf regeneration dynamics on damaged trees during ecosystem recovery are hypothesized to lead to the variable dry versus wet season impacts on daytime NEE. In contrast, nighttime CO2 release (i.e., nighttime respiration) was consistently and signiﬁcantly greater, possibly as a result of the enhanced decomposition of litter and coarse woody debris generated by the storm, and this effect was most apparent in the wet seasons compared to the dry seasons. The largest pre- and post-storm differences in NEE coincided roughly with the delayed peak in cumulative mortality of stems in 2007�2008. Across the hurricane-impacted region, cumulative tree mortality rates were also closely correlated with declines in peat surface elevation. Mangrove forest�atmosphere interactions are interpreted with respect to the damage and recovery of stand dynamics and soil accretion processes following the hurricane.

Abstract: Carbon markets would encourage forest landowners to increase rotation ages of their plantations. Emerging wood-based energy markets would increase prices of small-diameter timber products, thereby encouraging forest landowners to possibly opt for shorter rotation ages. We developed a comprehensive forest carbon model to track four carbon pools (carbon related to silvicultural activities, carbon sequestered on forestlands, carbon sequestered in wood products and wood present in landfills, and avoided carbon emissions) at the stand level to determine efficacy of carbon and bioenergy markets in mitigating carbon emissions with and without any change in rotation ages. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii)- a common species planted across the Coastal Plain of Georgia and Florida was taken as a representative species. We find that an increase in rotation age does not necessarily transform into additional carbon savings relative to some base rotation ages over a planning horizon of 100 years. Similarly, a decrease in the rotation age is not necessarily beneficial from carbon perspective either with respect to some base rotation ages. The utilization of all timber products for manufacturing of wood pellets to generate electricity in the United Kingdom maximizes carbon savings without any change in the rotation age. Suitable safeguards need to be incorporated in existing forest and bioenergy certification schemes to ensure efficacy of reforested lands in mitigating carbon emissions. Climate policies should emphasize on a systemic approach to maintain carbon mitigation potential of the forestry sector over time. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Under a strong global warming scenario, the global mean temperature could rise up to 10°C, causing the global ocean conveyor belt to collapse and the summer sea ice to disappear. This will lead to profound changes in our climate system and to impact drastically the living conditions of the globe. Here we study how the global heat redistribution and regional heat balance will respond to these changes using the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate System Model version 4. Results show that the collapsed ocean conveyor belt reduces the oceanic northward meridional heat transport (MHT) by nearly 60% with a minor increase in the atmospheric MHT. The polar amplified warming is primarily caused by the increased absorption of longwave radiation due to the increased greenhouse gases and cloudiness and by the increased absorption of shortwave radiation due to a lower albedo associated with the disappeared summer sea ice.

Hu, X., Cai, M., Yong, S., & Sejas, S. A. (2018). Air temperature feedback and its contribution to global warming. Science China Earth Sciences, 61(10), 1491–1509.
Abstract: Air temperature feedback results from the thermal-radiative coupling between the atmosphere and the surface and plays an important role in surface energy balance. This paper reveals the contribution of air temperature feedback to the global warming from 1980 to 2000. The air temperature feedback kernel, evaluated using the ERA-Interim reanalysis data, is used to discuss the physical mechanism for air temperature feedback, the dependency of the strength of air temperature feedback on the climatological spatial distributions of air temperature, water vapor and cloud content, and the contributions of air temperature feedback to rapid global warming. The coupling between temperature feedback and each of the external forcings and individual feedback processes will amplify the anomaly of direct energy flux convergence at the surface induced by the external forcings and individual processes. The air temperature feedback amplifies the initial surface warming due to the increase in CO2 concentration, ice and snow melting, increase in water vapor, and change in ocean heat storage. It also amplifies the surface warming due to the longwave radiaitve forcing associated with the increase in cloud cover, which acts to suppress the cooling of the shortwave effect of cloud forcing. Overall, temperature feedback plays an important role in the global warming from 1980 to 2000, as the net positive contribution to the perturbation of global mean energy flux at the surface from the air temperature feedback is larger than the net negative contribution from external forcing and all non-temperature feedbacks.

Abstract: As climate change has become a global concern and server energy demand continues to soar, many IT companies have started to explore server clusters running on various renewable energy sources. Existing green data center designs often yield suboptimal performance as they only look at a certain specific type of energy source. This article explores data centers powered by hybrid renewable energy systems. We propose GreenWorks, a framework for HPC data centers running on a renewable energy mix. Specifically, GreenWorks features a cross-layer power management scheme tailored to the timing behaviors and capacity constraints of different energy sources. Using realistic workload traces and renewable energy data, we show that GreenWorks could provide a near-optimal workload performance (within 3% difference) on average. It can also reduce the worst-case performance degradation by 43% compared to the state-of-the-art design. Moreover, the performance improvements are based on carbon-neutral operations and are not at the cost of significant efficiency degradation and reduced battery lifecycle. Our technique becomes more efficient when servers become more energy proportional and can effectively handle the ever-increasing depth of renewable power penetration in green data centers.

Abstract: Mitigating carbon emission efforts in urban planning and design phase have become increasingly popular due to climate change. However, it is difficult to verify whether the carbon mitigation target could be achieved for a new city in the absence of quantitative analysis methods. About 100 new cities have emerged every year in the past decades, yet few of them employed low carbon strategies within proper prediction methods. In response, this paper offers an integrated analysis method of assessment and mitigation for urban carbon dioxide (CO2) of new cities. Building sector, transportation sector, and green land sector are considered as urban CO2 sources and sink. Life cycle analysis was employed in building sector to estimate its emissions. Based on the current and predicted emission data, a mitigation goal was then set and allocated efficiently through different sectors. To elaborate on this process, a case study of Shanghai Lingang New City was presented. The urban low carbon roadmap was planned and a variety of recommendations concerning policy were offered to assist the local government and policy makers in order to achieve the low carbon development goal as well.

Abstract: What role does convection play in cloud feedbacks? What role does convective aggregation play in climate? A flurry of recent studies explores self-aggregation of moist convection in diverse simulations using explicit convection and interactive radiation. The implications involve upper level dry areas acting as infrared windowsthe climate system's radiator fins. A positive feedback maintains these: dry columns undergo radiative cooling which drives descent and further drying. If the resulting clumpiness of vapor and cloud fields depends systematically on global temperature, then convective organization could be a climate system feedback. How reconcilable and how relevant are these interesting but idealized studies?

Mo, W., & Zhang, Q. (2016). Modeling the influence of various water stressors on regional water supply infrastructures and their embodied energy. Environ. Res. Lett., 11(6), 064018.
Abstract: Water supply consumes a substantial amount of energy directly and indirectly. This study aims to provide an enhanced understanding of the influence of water stressors on the embodied energy of water supply (EEWS). To achieve this goal, the EEWS in 75 North Carolina counties was estimated through an economic input-output based hybrid life cycle assessment. Ten water stressor indicators related to population, economic development, climate, water source, and land use were obtained for the 75 counties. A multivariate analysis was performed to understand the correlations between water stressor indicators and the EEWS. A regression analysis was then conducted to identify the statistically significant indicators in describing the EEWS. It was found that the total amount of water supply energy varies significantly among selected counties. Water delivery presents the highest energy use and water storage presents the least. The total embodied energy was found to be highly correlated with total population. The regression analysis shows that the total embodied energy can be best described by total population and temperature indicators with a relatively high R square value of 0.69.

Abstract: The increasing demand for sustainable energy results in the development of new technologies of energy generation. The key objective of hydrogen economy is the introduction of hydrogen as main energy carrier, along with electricity, on a global scale. The key goal is the development of hydrogen-related technologies needed for hydrogen generation, hydrogen storage, hydrogen transportation and hydrogen distribution as well as hydrogen safety systems. It is commonly believed that hydrogen is environmentally clean since its combustion results in the formation of water. However, the technology currently employed for the generation of hydrogen from natural gas, does in fact lead to the emission of greenhouse gases and climate change. Therefore, the key issues in the introduction of hydrogen economy involve the development of environmentally clean hydrogen production technology as well as storage and transport. The clean options available for hydrogen generation using nuclear energy; such as advanced nuclear fission and, ultimately, nuclear fusion, are discussed. The latter, which is environmentally clean, is expected to be the primary approach in the production of hydrogen fuel at the global scale. The present work considers the effect of hydrogen on properties of TiO2 and its solid solutions in the contexts of photocatalytic energy conversion and the effect of tritium on advanced tritium breeders.

Coffee arrived in Rapa Nui in 1800 with the Dutch colonists.
But the coffee farms were abandoned long ago. Since then the coffee grows wild here.
Recently, there is a pilot project on one hectare of land to grow specialty coffee in Rapa Nui.
Otherwise, Chile does not have sufficient heights for growing specialty coffees.
So, Nestlé dominates the Chilean coffee market with a market share of 85%.
And anyway, the Chileans drink more tea than coffee.
However the The National Association of Professionals and Coffee Lovers – ANAPAC strives to improve and increase coffee consumption in Chile by covering the entire value chain from imports to extractions.
Even though the specialty coffee market in Chile is still very small at 3%, there is a rapid increase in specialty cafés.
Most of the country's coffee houses are located in the capital Santiago.
And here you can find another unique phenomenon.
So the sexist phenomenon is called. You can fortunately only find it in Santiago. Here work only young women in miniskirt or string thong. The origin of these establishments, in which you not only get coffee, started in the time of the military dictatorship, in which the country was otherwise rather prudish. But the men should still get a chance to escape the worries of everyday life. The first of its kind – Café Haiti opened its doors in 1970.
"Manjar" is a caramel-like cream used to sweeten coffee. Before your get your coffee served too sweet, it is best to order the coffee without sugar (sin azúcar), and sweeten as you wish.

#TBT: Kickin' Off MeloDeath March with SCAR SYMMETRY's Holographic Universe
Posted by Lauryn Mercer on March 7, 2019 at 10:37 am
Welcome to Throwback Thursday! This is the place where we get to indulge in nostalgia and wax poetic about excellent metal of years past. TBT number 62 kicks off a month featuring one of my favorite genres in the metalverse: Melodeath. It should come as no surprise that an act from metal-mother country Sweden kicks off Melodeath March for us. The sweet, black soil of the Nordic land has sprouted some of the best acts in metal history. Scar Symmetry is no exception – especially when we consider their third studio album release Holographic Universe.
SCAR SYMMETRY'S HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE
Release Date: June 2008
Record Label: Nuclear Blast
If early Soilwork and In Flames had a baby, Scar Symmetry would be their deathy, melodic child. Because their music embodies many popular stylings of the turn-of-the-century Gothenburg sound, Scar Symmetry's Holographic Universe serves up some of the best highlights that Scandinavian melodeath has to offer. Album opener "Morphogenesis" is chuggy, melody intense, and a damn good time. And, there's an OFFICAL VIDEO for the song:
Boy howdy do I love official music videos, and if you're new here to TBT, here's my reasoning: Usually, these kinds of videos are bloated, clunky, and awkward – but I appreciate the effort. In an era of dead MTV, music videos are something a fan has to seek out and in terms of the modern metal head, we don't need these pieces of art to enjoy a band any more than we already do. In that light, official music videos are sort of a dead art so whenever they're done, I'm all giddy with excitement.
Despite the sheer talent of Scar Symmetry, Holographic Universe isn't album isn't for everyone. For the uninitiated, Holographic Universe is a bit one-note throughout. Bright and expressive distortion, tight drums, and fast, bendy, wandering, scale-clad solos infiltrate almost every track. Holographic Universe pushes vocal performances and element layering to a whole new level. In fact, each piece of the band pushes harder in this album, more fully realizing their potential – and for that reason, Holographic Universe is an outstanding selection not only in terms of Scar Symmetry's career – but also in terms of melodic death metal in general. Check out the track "The Missing Coordinates":
One of the things that sets Holographic Universe apart from other like-offerings is the aforementioned vocal performance. The growls are balls of deep, black static, and the clean vocal melodies feel capable and impassioned while they explore new heights of emotional expression. "Ghost Prototype 1 – Measurement of Thought" is a great example of this:
The formula that the band has been creating for themselves over their previous two albums solidifies into a focus and precision in Holographic Universe. The album, as a whole, doesn't leave any stone unturned. Each track is a banger, and the coursing energy that penetrates each song is infectious. Upon re-listening to this album, I am really impressed by the precision in the song writing and how, despite the dynamics of each part, such complicated pieces can weave together so gorgeously. There is a lot going on with each instrument and to produce an album that sounds so cohesive is an impressive feat. This is the last album of Scar Symmetry to feature vocalist Christian Älvestam, and his range shines on songs like "Prism and Gate":
In terms of melodeath, Holographic Universe is all the dancy, heavy, juicy, lick-laden, speedy, cacophonous parts of metal in one supremely satisfying listen. If you're looking for something lush and melodic to motivate your Thursday, Holographic Universe is the shot of adrenaline you're looking for.

Mystery Napkin Leads To Snow Days
by Amy Corr , Staff Writer @MediaPostOTL, December 4, 2006
Picture it: MediaPost's office, about a month ago. The mail arrives on schedule after lunch and yours truly receives an unmarked envelope, postmarked from Colorado. I open the mystery package assuming I'd find creative from a breaking campaign. What I find is a Starbucks napkin, some funky symbol and a URL talking about "The Purification." I immediately show all my co-workers within shouting distance, and each one looks as perplexed as me. I know it has to be some teaser for an ad campaign, but the URL gives me no clues. Google-ing the words Starbucks and purification leads me to water filtration stories and a few Scientology links. I'm lost. I banish the napkin from my mind--and the vicinity of my desk. Then, several weeks later, I receive an e-mail that starts out with the words, "You might have received an unmarked envelope with a Starbucks napkin in it a few weeks ago with a symbol scribbled on it."
As I'm simultaneously nodding at my computer screen and reading the e-mail, I realize the doodled napkin is part of a bigger campaign... for Taos Ski Valley, a family-run ski resort in New Mexico.
McKee Wallwork Cleveland created an elaborate campaign leading up to the beginning of ski season in an effort to bring forth the passion behind the sport of skiing and purge the trendiness.
The cornerstone of the campaign was the symbol--a circle inside a square inside a diamond--that represents icons used by ski resorts to mark trails.
Aside from Starbucks' napkins, the symbol was also placed in public places around the country on stickers, black diamond playing cards and post-it notes. ThePurification.org even had its own MySpace page. Once the napkins and stickers started to appear in public places, so did a plethora of online forums devoted to the mystery.
A video of a "purification prophet" made its way on to YouTube, and a link of the video was planted on skier blogs and ski club Web sites. Finally, at 11 p.m. on Nov. 14, a timer located on ThePurification.org Web site reached zero, revealing the company behind the campaign.
"When did it happen? When did the contamination begin? Who told the hot tubs and tanning beds to make themselves at home? When did the mountain become an afterthought? It's time we got de-programmed. It's time we drew a line in the snow. It's time to kiss the furry boots goodbye and fight for what's pure. Taos is about reconnecting. To the mountain. To the skis. To the sport. To ourselves. Welcome to the fork in the road. Welcome, to The Purification," said the site.
The next day frequent Taos skiers were sent a black hat embroidered with the symbol in an effort to create an "army of purists." Translation: no snowboarders are allowed on the mountain.
Print and online ads shows trail paths on a sleeping man's comforter, an ice cream cone and the profile of a woman's face along with the copy, "good luck getting it out of your head" and the revamped URL, skitaos.org.
Initially, the brand was highly skeptical of the campaign strategy, but is satisfied with the results generated.
And how does Starbucks feel about the campaign? Let's just say ignorance is bliss; the company is unaware of its role in the Taos campaign.
"We believe that the Starbucks customer represents our target market and wanted to deliver our message to them where we knew they would be--drinking their latte while on their computer at the local Starbucks," said a spokesperson for the campaign.

Hearing Aids Connected to a Decrease in Depression
About half of those over 70 and one in three U.S. adults are affected by age related hearing loss. But despite its prevalence, only about 30% of older Americans who have hearing loss have ever had hearing aids (and for those below the age of 60, the number goes down to 16%!). Dependant upon whose data you look at, there are at least 20 million Americans suffering from neglected hearing loss; though some estimates put this closer to 30 million.
As people get older, they neglect seeking treatment for loss of hearing for a variety of reasons. (One study found that just 28% of people even had their hearing tested, even though they said they suffered from hearing loss, let alone sought additional treatment. For some people, it's like wrinkles or gray hair, just part of getting older. Hearing loss has been easy to diagnose for a long time, but thanks to the significant improvements that have been accomplished in hearing aid technology, it's also a very treatable situation. Significantly, more than only your hearing can be improved by treating loss of hearing, according to an increasing body of data.
A recent study from a Columbia research team links depression and hearing loss adding to the body of knowledge.
They give each subject an audiometric hearing test and also assess them for symptoms of depression. After a range of variables are taken into consideration, the analysts discovered that the odds of having clinically substantial symptoms of depression increased by approximately 45% for every 20-decibel increase in hearing loss. And for the record, 20 dB is very little noise. It's about as loud as rustling leaves and is quieter than a whisper.
The general link isn't astonishing but it is surprising how rapidly the odds of suffering from depression increase with only a little difference in sound. This new research adds to the considerable established literature linking hearing loss and depression, like this multi-year analysis from 2000 which found that mental health got worse alongside hearing loss, or this research from 2014 that found that both people who self-reported trouble hearing and who were found to have loss of hearing based on hearing exams had a considerably higher risk of depression.
The good news is: it isn't a chemical or biological link that researchers surmise exists between hearing loss and depression, it's social. Problems hearing can cause feelings of anxiety and lead sufferers to stay away from social scenarios or even normal conversations. This can increase social alienation, which further feeds into feelings of depression and anxiety. It's a vicious cycle, but it's also one that's easily disrupted.
A wide variety of studies have found that dealing with hearing loss, most often using hearing aids, can assist to alleviate symptoms of depression. A 2014 study that examined statistics from over 1,000 people in their 70s discovered that people who used hearing aids were significantly less more likely to experience symptoms of depression, though the authors didn't define a cause-and-effect connection since they were not observing data over time.
But other studies which followed individuals before and after using hearing aids bears out the proposal that treating hearing loss can assist in alleviating symptoms of depression. Although only a small group of people was looked at in this 2011 study, a total of 34, after only three months using hearing aids, according to the studies, all of them displayed significant improvement in both cognitive functioning and depressive symptoms. The same outcome was found from even further out by another small scale study from 2012, with every single person six months out from starting to use hearing aids, were still experiencing less depression. And in a study from 1992 that observed a larger group of U.S. military veterans suffering from hearing loss discovered that a full 12 months after starting to wear hearing aids, the vets were still suffering from fewer symptoms of depression.

Berlin, 28 February 2019 - The biopharmaceutical company MOLOGEN AG (ISIN DE000A2LQ900 / WKN A2LQ90) announced the results of today's creditors' meeting on the EUR4,999,990.00 6.00% convertible bond 2017/2025. At the creditors' meeting, the bondholders voted on the agreement reached with the main bondholder at the end of October 2018 and the associated adjusted bond terms. The proposed resolutions were accepted by the vast majority of bondholders. Overall, 83.95% of the bondholders were represented at the creditors' meeting.
At the end of October 2018, MOLOGEN AG had successfully concluded negotiations with the main bond creditor, who holds more than 75% of the outstanding bonds of the convertible bond 2017/2025. The bondholder had previously announced its intention to terminate the 2017/2025 convertible bond prematurely. In accordance with the agreement reached, the main bondholder waived its right to exercise the special termination right existing at the time. Thus, the immediate maturity of the convertible bond 2017/2015 and the associated immediate repayment obligation of approximately EUR3.9 million was averted and the short-term financing of MOLOGEN AG secured. In return, the company committed to propose to the creditors an amendment to the bond terms and conditions.
At the creditors' meeting, the proposed amendment of the terms and conditions was submitted to all bondholders of the 2017/2025 convertible bond for approval. The agenda included the reduction of the conversion price from the original EUR7.61 to EUR2.46 and the increase of the conversion ratio from previously EUR1.134 to EUR4.065. In addition, and amendment of the termination rights was submitted to the bondholders for resolution.
The resolutions proposed by the Company were adopted by a large majority. Accordingly, the new conversion price of EUR2.46 and a conversion ratio of EUR4.065 as well as an amendment of the provisions on termination rights were resolved by the creditors' meeting. In accordance with statutory law, the resolutions still have to be implemented by means of an amendment of the global bond certificate.

Coy Mathis transgender decision a warning to school districts
The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled in favor of 6-year-old Coy Mathis, whose school had barred her from using the girls restroom at her elementary school because she is transgender. (RJ Sangosti,The Denver Post)
By The Denver Post | newsroom@denverpost.com
PUBLISHED: June 25, 2013 at 6:12 a.m. | UPDATED: April 29, 2016 at 4:34 p.m.
The Colorado Civil Rights Division's decision in the case of a 6-year-old transgender girl should send a clear message to other school districts that may face this delicate issue:
You cannot allow your preconceptions about gender identity to trump the rights of students who may not fit in traditional roles.
At issue is the case of Coy Mathis, an elementary student in a Fountain school who began showing signs very early on that she was a girl despite having been born with male genitalia.
This is an uncomfortable topic for many, but imagine how difficult it must be for the person swimming upstream against commonly held beliefs.
Coy not only wanted to wear dresses, but insisted upon lining up with girls at school and using the girls' restroom. The evidence presented in the complaint filed on Coy's behalf shows a determined and persistent belief that she was a girl.
That's where the trouble started. Initially, school officials allowed her to use the girls' bathroom, but when the issue hit the district level, it was decided that she could not use the girls' bathroom.
First of all, it strikes us that if everyone is using the facilities as intended — going in a stall and closing the door — it shouldn't matter.
Second, gender identity is a complex matter. Information cited in the civil rights division's decision explained subtleties, such as children born with internal and external reproductive organs that may not match — male on the inside and female on the inside, or vice versa.
The Fountain-Fort Carson School District's decision that Coy should use the boys' facilities or a staff restroom was not an appropriate alternative for this child. The civil rights division rightly called it reminiscent of a "separate but equal" philosophy.
Coy has moved on to another school, so it would appear this particular conflict has come to an end. But similar cases surely will arise again, and we hope school officials have learned how to address transgender equality with dignity and fairness.

Conservation biology is the study of how best to sustain and manage linked systems of people and nature. It is a new science that builds on a range of existing disciplines, ranging from ecology and evolution to sociology and economics. Conservation biology is becoming increasingly important for human wellbeing as the impacts of human activities on the biosphere become more significant.
A programme in Conservation Biology was established at the FitzPatrick Institute in 1991 to educate students and conservation practitioners in the fast developing field of conservation science. The FitzPatrick Institute is housed within the Department of Zoology in the Faculty of Science at the University of Cape Town. The Fitztitute promotes and undertakes scientific studies, mainly involving birds that contribute to the theoretical and practical development of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. The central focus of the conservation biology programme at the Fitztitute is an intensive MSc degree comprising 7 months of coursework and a 6-month individual research project.
South African society has been through a set of massive changes in the last 20 years; much of the resulting dynamism and openness to new ideas is mirrored in South African conservation. The discipline of conservation biology is undergoing a similar paradigm shift, in which notions of preservation and paternalism are being replaced by an ethic that recognises the complexity of linked social and ecological systems and the critical need for solid interdisciplinary research. The FitzPatrick Institute is contributing to this disciplinary transformation through research and teaching, while also collaborating with others to support sound, action-oriented science.
Download the handbook which will give you a brief course overview and details about the application process.
Applications must reach the FitzPatrick Institute before the end of August each year to be considered for a place in the following year.

Dr. Jane Goodall is a Dame of the British Empire, founder of a global institute that bears her name, is a Messenger of Peace for the United Nations, and is one of the most respected and renowned ethologists to have worked in that scientific field. One might think a person of this magnitude might turn her nose up when questioned about something as fanciful as mythological creatures, but as it turns out Dr. Goodall wants to believe just as much as the rest of us slobs.
When the "chimp lady" and subject of the excellent National Geographic documentary Jane came to Yahoo's Los Angeles studios she talked about that mysterious hairy beast, how chimpanzees are on their way to obtaining legal passports, and why elephants should never be in any zoo no matter how good it is.

INESC Brasil
About INESC Brasil
The Institute for Socioeconomic Studies – Inesc, is a public-purpose, non-partisan, democratic and pluralist non-profit organization. Its mission is to "Contribute toward improving representative and participatory democracy with the aim of ensuring human rights, by fostering links in civil society and strengthening it to influence domestic and international governance spaces."
Created in 1979, Inesc's work, in all its projects, is based on two main action lines: strengthening civil society and enhancing social participation in public policy-making. In all its publications and social interventions, it uses budget tools as the basis for strengthening and fostering citizenship rights. With a view to enhancing the impact of its proposals and actions, Inesc works in partnership with other social organizations and groups and positions itself politically among organizations within the democratic space of the Brazilian Association of Non-Governmental Organizations – Abong, in which it is in charge of the Institutional Strengthening Board.
Inesc works in partnership with and participates in many domestic and international social forums, networks and articulations.
The interventions of the institution are aimed at stimulating public debates and contributing to building a new concept of citizenship rights, combining public participation with social responsibility and solidarity. Overcoming poverty and social inequalities and reaffirming the concept of Human (political and civil), Economic, Social, Environmental and Cultural Rights – HESECRs as a parameter for building modern citizenship rights and fighting social exclusion which still affects large segments of Brazilian society are permanent challenges for the political action of the institution.
Besides working at domestic level, Inesc intervenes in international public spaces where pressure is applied to democratize global governance organizations, as well as in regional spaces, seeking to promote the integration, expansion, and full recognition of human rights.

Just Let Them Love You, the first novel in The Trinity Promise Trilogy, emerged from Pam's heart.
She invites readers to discover their own purpose and calling, by engaging with the Word of God, learning to discern His voice, and by inspiring intimacy with Jesus as Savior and Lord.
In a light-hearted, humorous manner, Pam's character, Lila, leaves her U.S.A. homeland for an adventure in Israel where she finds treasures she never imagined.
Pam weaves into the story deep concerns for those challenged with disabilities, mental and physical, and even delves into the depths of human trafficking and abuse where readers get to put faces and personalities on facts and terrors.
Readers will grow in faith with Lila as she discovers the names of God, and reflects on how each of those names minister His character in a unique expression of love.
Born in Chicago and growing up on the shores of West Michigan, Pam met her husband, Rich, while attending Taylor University. Together they have served in a variety of Christian ministries. Pam was a program director and counselor at a crisis pregnancy center, has been a fitness center manager, property manager and project supervisor in the home renovation business, all while loving on her three beautiful children, Christian, Emily and Laura. Pam now has seven grandchildren and counting.
Pam has always been drawn to storytelling, photography, and has collected her experiences, observations, and concerns, and crafted an unforgettable story of courage and Christian mission.
Her husband, children, and grandchildren are thrilled with her new venture, and actually appear in her books in clever ways.

Union Cabinet approves export of Akash missile system
New Delhi, Dec 30 (PTI) In a major move to boost domestic defence manufacturing, the government on Wednesday approved the export of indigenously-developed surface-to-air Akash missile system and set up a high-level committee to authorise the sale of major platforms to various countries.
The defence ministry said a committee comprising Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has been set up to authorise exports of major indigenous platforms.
The decision to export the missile systems was taken at a Cabinet meeting presided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The Akash missile systems have over 96 percent indigenous components and the weapon can hit targets at a range of 25 km.
The ministry said many 'friendly countries' have shown interest in procuring the missile during international exhibitions like the 'DefExpo' and 'Aero India'.
Singh said the export version of Akash missiles would be different from the system currently deployed with Indian armed forces.
'Under the #AtmaNirbharBharat, India is growing in its capabilities of manufacturing a wide variety of Defence platforms & missiles. The Cabinet chaired by PM @narendramodi ji today approved the export of Akash Missile System and a Committee for faster approvals has been created,' Singh tweeted.
He said Indian defence exports so far included parts and components.
'The export of big platforms was minimal. This decision by the Cabinet would help the country improve its defence products and make them globally competitive,' the defence minister said.
The ministry said the approval by the cabinet will facilitate Indian manufacturers to participate in the tendering process (Request for Information and Request For Proposal) by various countries.
'Besides Akash, there is interest coming in (for) other major platforms like coastal surveillance system, radars and air platforms. To provide faster approvals for export of such platforms, a committee comprising of Raksha Mantri, the External Affairs Minister and National Security Advisor has been created,' it said in a statement. 'This committee would authorise subsequent exports of major indigenous platforms to various countries. The committee would also explore various available options including the government-to-government route,' it added.
Singh said the government intends to focus on exporting high-value defence platforms with an aim to achieve a target of USD 5 billion in defence exports and improve strategic relations with friendly foreign countries.
The government has been majorly focusing on boosting domestic defence production and set a target of Rs 1.75 lakh crore (USD 25 billion) turnover in defence manufacturing by 2025. According to estimates, the Indian armed forces are projected to spend around USD 130 billion in capital procurement in the next five years.
In May, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rolled out a number of reform measures for the defence sector including making separate budgetary outlay to procure Indian-made military hardware, increasing FDI limit from 49 percent to 74 percent under the automatic route and generating a year-wise negative list of weapons which won't be imported.
In August, Singh announced that India will stop the import of 101 weapons and military platforms like transport aircraft, light combat helicopters, conventional submarines, cruise missiles and sonar systems by 2024.
Subsequently, the defence ministry released the first list of items, with a detailed timeline, whose import won't be allowed. The decision was aimed at promoting the domestic defence industry.
In a related development, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) identified 108 military systems and subsystems like navigation radars, tank transporters and missile canisters for the domestic industry to design, develop and manufacture. PTI MPB RT RT

"We cannot accept that there are still Europeans restricted from their right to vote due to a disability," the president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani said.
President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, delivered the opening speech at the 4th European Parliament of Persons with Disabilities. The event, organised together with the European Disability Forum, was held in the plenary chamber in Brussels on December 6.
The event brought together more than 700 activists and delegates from organisations representing persons with disabilities from across Europe, as well as MEPs and representatives of other EU institutions.
The debate focused on how to ensure that persons with a disability can fully participate in society.
"We cannot accept that there are still Europeans restricted from their right to vote due to a disability. The situation is not reassuring in all member states, for this reason I wrote to all heads of state to see to the guarantees of democratic participation in the upcoming European elections," said Tajani.
Nearly one in six people aged 15 or above in the EU lives with some kind of disability and this is expected to increase due to Europe's ageing population.

Q: what's the maximum amount of constraints in minizinc I haven't been able to find any reference as to what is the maximum amount of variables and constraints that minizinc's solvers can handle. Specifically I'm interested minizinc's mip solver. I've been getting stack overflow errors on my mac with 8GB when I have about 15k constraints and about 1000 variables. Does anyone know if that's something close to minizinc's real limitations?

A: It looks like minizinc was crashing due to too many constraints. I was able to model my problem using another open source MIP solver/optimization framework called SCIP. I had to learn how to model using mathematical language called ZIMP.
