As they gather Friday for the 19th annual Santa Clara County Domestic Violence Council Conference, hundreds of participants — from domestic violence shelters to law enforcement agencies, from judges to doctors — might be surprised to learn that their well-meaning efforts over the years were critically hampered by a lack of coordination and accountability from some of the very county officials who support their efforts.
A recent state audit revealed that $715,000 in state-mandated funds collected by the county since 1995 and meant to be distributed to local domestic violence shelters sat in an account virtually forgotten by officials until the oversight was accidentally discovered in 2010. It wasn't until earlier this year that the money was ultimately distributed to shelters.
"I'm still inflamed — I'm still so angry not knowing this money was sitting there," said Kathleen Krenek, executive director of Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, the county's largest shelter for battered victims. She said that money could have been spent to prevent layoffs, to pay for rent or supplies — even toilet paper — to help keep the program going.
But according to the state audit — which reviewed 135 domestic violence cases in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and Santa Clara counties — these kinds of oversight problems are happening throughout California and without further clarification by the state Legislature, counties and courts may continue to misdirect domestic violence funds.
"More than anything, the audit speaks to the need to clarify with counties what the statute actually says, and the need to create a way to document whether or not courts are actually collecting the fees and if they are not, why not," said Camille Hayes, a spokeswoman for the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, a Sacramento-based nonprofit that works with almost 100 service providers around the state to prevent domestic violence.
Still, he acknowledged, "we don't like the fact that this happened, and we are unhappy with the delay." He emphasized the money has been distributed to the shelters to provide important services.
When the law took effect in 1995, Santa Clara County officials said those fines were being collected and some were being distributed by the county's Social Services Department.
By 2004-05, according to the audit, the county's Probation Department became aware of the money, and sought authority over the funds. It asked the county counsel's office if the money could be used to pay for a domestic violence advocate, which was allowed that year, as well as from 2007-11, for a total cost of $209,000 over five years.
But the audit said the funds were not supposed to be used for that purpose, which was meant solely for local shelters who could use the money for anything they wished.
Krenek said the county's four domestic violence shelters believed they were receiving the "probationer fees" all along — about $200,000 annually — but then noticed a drastic drop to about $50,000 annually in recent years. She said they were told the number of domestic violence cases had fallen and that many probationers, because of the economy, could not afford to pay their fines.
Coincidentally, Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr. had requested an audit of all county special funds in 2010, and when the list revealed the $715,000 that had been held in a special fund for domestic violence shelters, Krenek and others were alerted and asked the county for an explanation.
Now that the mistake has been addressed by the county, the shelter leaders say they've heard from others around the state facing similar problems.

Help support Next Door by dining out during the month of October.
Kaiser Permanente is partnering with Next Door in the creation of its new Healing Families Pilot Project and providing $35,500 in funding for the project. Next Door's Family Support Services is developing a new Healing Families Pilot Project that will provide a health-focused support system for women and families experiencing and exposed to domestic violence. The project expects to offer Healing Families Workshops in Spanish and English to 225 mothers and children, approximately 90 families, helping mothers and their children impacted by domestic violence to re-establish family bonds and healthy habits. Through these workshops, Next Door will address the damage done to family bonds due to batterer manipulations; improve the physical, behavioral, emotional, and mental health of women and children who have been impacted by DV; and reduce overall family stress. We are grateful for the more than a decade of support that Kaiser Permanente has provided Next Door. Thank you Kaiser!
Blue Shield of California Foundation has donated $40,000 over two years to support Next Door's general operations. This multi-year, core support grant will allow Next Door to meet ongoing needs such as maintaining its Emergency Shelter, fill gaps in programmatic funding, and develop services to address the evolving challenges that face domestic violence victims and their families. As the state's largest private funder of domestic violence services and prevention, Blue Shield of California Foundation is dedicated to ending domestic violence in California. Blue Shield Against Violence provides flexible, core support funding to domestic violence service providers so that they are empowered to determine and address the priorities of their organizations.

London coronavirus: What it's like to live under the Heathrow flightpath in lockdown
A reduction in planes has made significant changes for some residents

We've seen many parts of London as we have never seen them before - quiet.
Pictures have captured what would normally be the capital's busiest hotspots, almost completely deserted.
Travel across the city has reduced considerably, as people continue to stay in and adhere to lockdown restrictions.
And London or not, if we look up, there is one place that we may have all noticed is considerably quieter - the sky.
Coronavirus has reduced the number of flights taking off from and landing into airports across the world, with our own Heathrow Airport seeing a 75 per cent reduction in number of flights since the outbreak.

We may have all observed a significant reduction in plane activity, but the people who will have noticed this change the most are those living directly under London's flight paths.
Latest travel rules issued to British tourists by Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus
London coronavirus: Decision on Heathrow job cuts will be made 'in the next few weeks' warns airport boss
Mark Laflin, lives in Barnes, Richmond, on what he believes is the "landing path' part of the flight path."
In normal life, he would spend most of his day at Kingston Grammar School, where he works as Director of Music.
But since schools have closed, Mark has - like all of us - spent most of his time at home.
In his 12 years in Barnes, the director has often been aware of the effects that living under the flight path can have on day-to-day life.
The 40-year-old said: "When I first moved to Barnes I lived in a house-share in a Victorian terrace in the area known as 'Little Chelsea' off White Hart Lane.
"When I lived there, the planes quite frequently used to make the stash windows rattle."
He then moved to a flat just south of Hammersmith Bridge, where he and his family lived on the ground floor, "so were a little more shielded by the floors above."
Mark now lives in a maisonette with his wife and two young children, where he said the surround sounds that come with living under a flight path are something that you naturally get used to.
He said: "You can see and hear the planes normally.
"We are lucky as its generally quite quiet here. We have one other maisonette on top of ours and are quite shielded generally in the corner of the block - the walls are incredibly thick!
"Having lived in this area for ages, the planes are something you just get used to and I honestly never normally think about them."
London coronavirus: When will lockdown end in London and what will our new normal look like?
7 ways changes at Heathrow Airport could affect how you travel
What is interesting is that, while Mark thought he couldn't notice the planes before, he notices the lack of them even more now.
The director said: "There are virtually no planes at all! You really notice it when one actually flies over now!
"We were sitting outside the front of our flat on Easter Saturday and a plane flew over. It really got my attention and, normally, I wouldn't even notice it!
"It's amazing how quiet it is here now, and how many birds you can hear.
"The other source of noise that we have at the back of our house in our bedroom is from the A4 on the other side of the river, and this has all but disappeared as well."

#Do1Thing: 13 ways you can help the environment while social distancing
What's more, is that the planes even seem to be affecting his routine, and may have been more important than he realised.
Mark said: "The main thing that I found is, at the start of this whole thing, it affected me most in the morning.
"Subconsciously I think the planes act as some form of alarm clock when they start up in earnest at about 5.30am.
"I really noticed it to start with when that stopped happening, and it affected my waking pattern in the morning in quite a big way.
"I remember this too with the 'ash cloud' a decade ago - everything felt very quiet, particularly early morning."

Q: connect two USB ports on the same computer I got a school assignment to transfer data from one usb port to the other usb port on the same computer.
I bought a male to male usb cable so I can connect two of my usb ports together.
Can I damage my computer this way?
thanks.

A: No, but there will be no data transfer possible either. USB requires active components to be present. A PC is always a host and requires an USB device for successful connection.

LFF '20 — Heartfelt and Weepy 'Supernova' Will Tug at the Heartstrings, But is it Just More of the Same?
A film that is stirring and heartfelt in every sense of the world, Supernova is beautiful piece of the lush, if predictable, British cinema we have come to expect.
When long time partners Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci) begin their travels around England visiting friends and family, this quiet trip away becomes something more as the two deal with Tusker's diagnosis of early onset dementia. Pianist Sam is due to perform at a concert — his first in a long time — towards the end of the trip and it marks the first time they have been able to travel since Tusker was diagnosed two years earlier.
Tusker's illness lurks in every interaction, colouring every conversation whether wanted or not. As the couple travel to a quiet spot beside a gorgeously tranquil lake where they used to visit, the unacknowledged fact is that this may be the last time they come here together. And while they are bickering — about the maps, about Tusker's hatred of the voice of the Satnav which sounds too much like "Margaret fucking Thatcher" — this undercurrent of worry that Sam carries throughout on his shoulders is ever present. They are not the people they were before, they never will be, and this journey only had one destination that is certain.
Firth and Tucci's performances as a literal 'old couple' are perfect. They bounce off each other with verve, the love they have for each other is not showy or loud but resonates in the quiet moments: the unconscious mirroring of body language, hands clasped together in the middle of the night. It is this tenderness that draws us in, the moments where emotion comes to the surface become even more heart-wrenching. A wobble in Sam's voice as he reads a speech that Tusker has prepared, a blank look of terror when he realises Tusker has wandered off highlights the fear of the future that he has in front of him. The tears come easily as we watch these two men, so deeply in love, facing the fact that this will not last forever.
That's not to say Supernova is perfect: Harry Macqueen's script can verge easily into sentimental cliches about stardusts, or "being sad… just means it was great while it was here", or the dreaded and much ridiculed "sis" moniker. That being said, there is no doubt that this will sweep the awards season (particularly the BAFTAs) but that might just be the problem.
With two bankable stars and backing from both the BFI and BBC films, Supernova has the opportunity to do something interesting and different, but instead falls into the easy trap of exploring the upper echolons of British society. These people own large, gated houses in the English countryside, with Agas and fancy campervans and at some point it is easy to lose yourself in the romanticism of this lifestyle. There are no doctor's appointments or waiting in hospitals — but there doesn't have to be. Another version of the story would see the characters have to deal with jobs that don't allow for long periods off work, or negotiating sick pay benefits while trying to prove to the DWP that they really cannot work because they are dying.
Is it easier to focus on the (more than comfortable) upper-middle classes that instead interrogate the class issues that are seeped into the fabric of British society? Perhaps, but that doesn't mean British film shouldn't try.
Supernova screened as part of the virtual edition of BFI London Film Festival 2020. It will be released by Studio Canal UK on November 27th

On 23 August, Spain's ruling Socialist government pushed through a constitutional reform to include a fiscal deficit cap, with the support of the opposition People's Party (PP, Partido Popular). The lower house approved the bill on 2 September with the three-fifths minimum support required to change the constitution and it should be ratified by the Senate by 7 September. The reform follows similar initiatives in other European countries. Germany included such a deficit rule in its constitution in 2009, and France and Italy have draft legislation in the works. The amendment will prevent the central government, as well as regional authorities, from having a structural deficit above the levels set by the European Union. In addition, all public administrations will be legally forced to comply with the budget cap, and the central as well as the regional governments will need to be authorised by law to issue public debt. This amendment, will allow for larger deficits only in cases of extraordinary emergencies or deep recessions. An additional law included in the reform will set a deficit ceiling of 0.4% of GDP from 2020 onwards. The hasty move, which should be completed before parliament is dissolved in the run-up to the 20 November elections, is the Spanish's government's latest attempt to reassure markets of Spain's commitment to honour its debt payments and to reduce its risk premium. Spain's risk premium peaked at 6.32% on 2 August, before the European Central Bank launched a massive bond purchase programme on 7 August to ease pressures on Spain and Italy, but had dropped to 5.03% by 31 August. Spain is seeking to slash the public deficit to 6.0% of GDP this year from 9.2% of GDP in 2010. The government aims to reach the EU-target of 3.0% of GDP by 2013. Consensus Forecast panellists expect the government to overshoot this year's fiscal balance target and see the deficit reaching 6.5% of GDP this year before narrowing to 5.2% of GDP in 2012.

Not only did the Redskins go into Seattle, the toughest place to play in the NFC, as nine-point underdogs and come away with a victory Sunday, but they did it short four starters on the offensive line.
The burgundy and gold's extraordinary list of injuries left them without starting left tackle Trent Williams (knee), guards Shawn Lauvao (stinger) and Brandon Scherff (knee), and center Spencer Long (knees).
The lone usual starter on the offensive line, Morgan Moses, has been battling two battered ankles in his own right. He was accompanied Sunday by T.J. Clemmings (LT), Arie Kouandjio (LG), Chase Roullier (C), Tyler Catalina (RG), and Tony Bergstrom (G) along the goal line.
To come away victorious, they were going to need to channel some serious heroics. This time, Creed's Greatest Hits wasn't going to do the trick.
Today the @Creed Greatest Hits album was played during the team lift.
Sadly, they might need an even bigger miracle than Herb Brooks.
No, what they needed was something deeper. Something, ferocious — that cuts to the core and really strikes fear in the opponent's eye.
What they needed was… the eye of the tiger.
It's abundantly clear, after that lionhearted performance, each victory now calls for a new Rocky quote.
The Redskins (4-4) host the Vikings (6-2) next week.
Time to start building some hurtin' bombs, if 'ya ask me.

В оборонительной стене баварского города Аугсбург было пять ворот, перечисленных ниже.

Птичьи ворота
Птичьи ворота () — часть городских укреплений Аугсбурга, сформировавших когда-то предместье Святого Якова (Jakobervorstadt). Сначала появился городской ров, а у него в 1374 году, укрепляя городские стены, построили ворота и мост через ров. Первые ворота простояли недолго: в 1445 году их снесли и построили новые. Было это во времена бургомистра по фамилии Vogelin, так что, по одной из версий, своё название ворота получили именно от этой фамилии. Во времена Тридцатилетней войны Аугсбург был в 1632—1635 годах занят шведскими войсками. В эти годы система городских укреплений была реконструирована, в том числе и участок Птичьих ворот. Время шло, необходимость в крепостных сооружениях с каждым столетием уменьшалась, пока не исчезла совсем. В 1880 году мост через ров разобрали, частично разобрали и бастион. В 1944 году, во время бомбардировки Аугсбурга, ворота сгорели. Восстановили их только через 10 лет. Город становился всё больше автомобильным, и ворота начали мешать движению транспорта по улице Верхнего Рва (Oberer Graben). Тогда внутри ворот сделали проём для проезда транспорта — в виде красивой арки. Но этого было мало, пришлось разобрать постройки между воротами и крепостной стеной. Рядом с воротами вот уже много столетий, с 1538 года, вращается колесо водяной мельницы. Недалеко, возвышаясь над городской стеной, высится построенная в стиле барокко башня монастыря Святой Урсулы.

Ворота Рыбаков
Ворота Рыбаков (). Первое упоминание в документах этих ворот относится к 1328 году, но назывались они тогда по-другому — Burgfeldtor и Lohrhubentor. Но всё-таки ворота вели в пригород рыбаков: Senkelbach, и с середины XV века нынешнее название стало общепринятым.

В 1609 году знаменитый аугсбургский архитектор Эллиас Холль (Elias Holl), прославившийся Ратушей Аугсбурга, перестроил и Ворота Рыбаков. Почти через столетие, во время войны за испанское наследство, ворота были полностью разрушены. Их очень долго не восстанавливали, вплоть до XX века. И лишь в 1925 году Fischertor снова появились в Аугсбурге. Чтобы отразить стиль предыдущей постройки, воротам придали черты барокко.

Ворота Святого Якова

Ворота Святого Якова () когда-то были важнейшими из внешних ворот города Аугсбурга. Через них проходила стратегическая дорога из Швабии в Баварию. Первое упоминание об этих воротах относится к 1346 году. В 1462 году ворота приобрели поднимающуюся решётку, надёжно защищающую вход. Первоначальная форма ворот сохранилась до наших дней: четырёхстороннее основание с сужающимся продолжением и двухэтажный верх с высокой остроконечной крышей. Именно сквозь эти ворота во времена Тридцатилетней войны шведский король Густав Адольф Второй 24 апреля 1632 года вошёл в город Аугсбург. В проёме ворот находится каменное изображение кайзера Сигизмунда. На западной стороне ворот — городской герб со знаменитой шишкой пинии, ставшей символом Аугсбурга.

Ворота моста через Вертах
На том месте, где сейчас стоят Ворота моста через Вертах (), когда-то находилась таможня. Сначала здесь построили башню, которую украсили в 1402 году росписью. В 1605 году Эллиас Холь (Elias Holl) надстроил башню на два этажа, закончив строение плоской крышей с красивым архитектурным фонарём. Через Wertachbruckertor 10 октября 1805 года в Аугсбург въехал другой знаменитый полководец — император Наполеон Первый. Изображение этого события есть на Вандомской колонне в Париже. Маленькая доска на Wertachbruckertor напоминает о дне рождения баварского короля Людвига Второго. Он родился 25 августа 1845 года — в тот же день, что и его дед — Людвиг Первый. В 1843 году на внутренней стороне ниши появилось изображение статуи Девы Марии. В 1989 году ворота были отреставрированы. Солнечные часы, которые тогда появились на башне, оплачены не из городской казны — это подарок от общества Старого Аугсбурга.

Красные ворота
C незапамятных времён Красные ворота () были важнейшими из южных ворот города. Через них проходила дорога в Тироль и Италию, и поэтому здесь располагалась таможня. Сейчас мимо ворот идут трамваи в район Haunstetten и до 1482 года Красные ворота как раз и назывались Haunstetter Tor. Из всех городских ворот Красные ворота — древнейшие. Аугсбург был основан римлянами, а дорога на Рим и Венецию здесь и проходила. Её называли «Via Claudia Augusta» в честь императора Клавдия. Она вела к водному пути по Дунаю — и доходила до реки в районе нынешнего города Донаувёрта. Конечно, дорога неизбежно требовала заставы, а застава — каких-то укреплений, поэтому ворота и прилегающее к ним оборонительное пространство неоднократно перестраивались. Эллиас Холь (Elias Holl) — автор одного из лучших архитектурных ансамблей Аугсбурга: Красные Ворота и Госпиталь Святого Духа (Rotes Tor и Heilig-Geist-Spital). Дважды, в 1611 и 1622 году, он перестраивал Красные ворота. Мост у Красных ворот построили уже намного позже — в 1777 году.

Biography of James McCune Smith
James McCune Smith graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1837 and became the first African American to receive a medical degree.
During his studies in Glasgow, Smith obtained three university degrees – a bachelor's degree (1835), a master's degree(1836) and his medical doctorate (1837).
As well as being a successful physician, he was a great abolitionist and educator as well as a brilliant scholar and writer who was one of the foremost intellectuals in 19th century America of any race.
Born to an enslaved mother, and enslaved at birth in 1813 in New York City, he and all of New York's remaining slaves were liberated by the state's Emancipation Act 1827. A fortunate beneficiary of the New York African Free-School, Smith was identified early in his life as being intellectually gifted.
But when he applied for entry to several American universities he was refused admission on account of his race. The University of Glasgow stepped in and offered him a place, which he took up in 1832.
Recognising Smith's academic ability, funds were raised to pay Smith's passage to Scotland and contribute towards his tuition and living costs. These would later be shared by the Glasgow Emancipation Society, of which he became an active member during his time in the city.
He attended classes such as the Greek class of Daniel Keyte Sandford in 1832-33; the Anatomy classes of Professor James Jeffray in 1833-34; and Medicine and Surgery classes in 1835.
Smith flourished in the demanding academic environs of one of Britain's "ancient" medieval universities, and a leading seat of the Scottish Enlightenment.
After five years study, and in an era when few Americans attended university, and fewer still bothered to finish their degrees and graduate, Smith had earned three degrees. He was fluent in Latin, Greek and French and with a working knowledge of Hebrew, Italian, Spanish and German.
He returned to New York in 1837, not simply as a gifted and able African American but a man who had the belief that things could be different.
During his time studying in Scotland, it was a revelation for an African American where opportunity of this kind was impossible in his own country and where slavery was still legal in the Southern states. Smith believed this could be changed and he felt that he was living proof of how things could be different - his education and learning could demonstrate that he was the equal of any man, regardless of race. It was a belief he championed for the rest of his life.
Frederick Douglass, the American social reformer and abolitionist, recognised the deep significance of his friend's five-years outside the United States, saying: "Educated in Scotland, and breathing the free air of that country" Smith "came back to his native land with ideas of liberty which placed him in advance of most of his citizens of African descent".
By the beginning of 1838 Dr Smith had opened his own practice and pharmacy at 151 Reade Street, NYC, noted to be the first African American owned and operated pharmacy in America, where he treated both black and white patients. Smith would eventually own two pharmacies and would continue to practice medicine for 25 years.
Smith's body of work including his abolitionist speeches and writings supported an end to slavery and black civil rights. But they were also the work of a black intellectual commentator who did not define himself solely by his race, who celebrated the nobility of Africans and their descendants, and who resisted the racial categorizations of others.
He also wrote about medicine, science, pharmacy, literature, and geography, but his education and his own interests encouraged him to transcend his professional world and write about the people and world around him including a series of literary portraits of working class African Americans of New York.
In the 1840s Smith married Malvina Barnet. They had 11 children but only five survived to adulthood. Dr Smith died of heart disease in 1865, aged just 52.
Born 18 April 1813.
Died 17 November 1865.

Anthropology and Prehistory
Our anthropology and prehistory collections include archaeological objects and anthropological specimens.
The archaeological collections are mainly the result of excavations undertaken by our researchers at prehistoric sites in Belgium during the second half of the 19th century and the 20th century. Our institute also has the archaeological collections that resulted from our excavations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the colonial period. Finally, the collections are completed by a few ethnographic objects and specimens that were either exchanged or donated to us.
The anthropological collection contains a large proportion of the prehistoric human remains that have been discovered in Belgium and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Spy Neanderthals, excavated in 1886, are possibly our best-known pieces. We also have collections of bones from medieval and modern sites, two collections of individuals of known age and gender, as well as an osteological reference collection of bones from various different geographic locations. The anthropological collection also includes anatomical casts that are of historical and scientific importance.

In a living building with a celebrated orchestra, science and perception interweave on many levels. There is no substitute for listening – to the music or the musicians – when correlating phenomena, causes, history, and expectations.
Taking the time to do this, using all available analysis tools, and moving by increments demonstrates commitment, builds confidence, and, ultimately, proves itself in masonry and fine veneer: New stage walls, improvements to the canopy, and a massive ceiling for the organ chamber yield presence, richness, and life never before heard in the room.


My little garret writing room is bathed in sunshine this fine January morning here in Lewes, UK. Me and my Bonsai tree aren't sure if it's summer of Winter in here and, if it wasn't that it's too easy to turn into a weird eccentric when you spend too much time working at home on your own, I'd be tempted to change into Bermuda shorts and sunglasses but it's good enough to feel the sun on my face as I sit here squinting at my trusty computer screen.
Looking out of the window, I see that my neighbour's almond tree is in blossom and, as usual round here, that plucky little tree is the first herald of life in the middle of Winter.
The sunshine and almond blossom are enough to lift my spirits when the international news talks of snow blizzards and preposterously low temperatures. I suspect it will end up getting cold here again but, for now, I'm happy to bask in the spirit of this false Spring.
Out in my garden, I too have some heralds of Spring – snowdrops are always in the vanguard of those flowers that defy reason to bloom in the most inhospitable of times and mine return with a smile every January.
My primroses too, unexpectedly brighten the darkest corner of my garden with their radiant but tasteful shades of pale yellow. These have been flowering since before Christmas even though they are not supposed to open their petals for at least another couple of months.
That's enough gazing out of the window, back to work.
My third Brighton novel almost ready.

New WildAid Campaign Cooperates with Cartoon IP to Address Climate Change
To coincide with the COP 26 climate summit, WildAid launched a new campaign in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to inspire younger generations to reduce carbon emissions through daily choices regarding transport. This new campaign kicked off with a 32-meter long comic strip displayed in Shanghai's landmark People's Square on October 30. The campaign has been produced in partnership with China Green Carbon Foundation, China Association for NGO Cooperation, and Netease's famous cartoon series Dream Academy.
This comic strip tells the story of three characters from Dream Academy as they travel from the "Dream Land" to a modern city to find ways to reduce carbon emissions since the high emissions from cities had made the "Dream Land" no longer peaceful. Based on data supported by World Resources Institute, three methods were found to reduce emissions from transportation: Avoid– to build a life circle- residents can find everything they need for their daily lives within a 15-minute bike ride; Shift– to move from private cars or taxis to walking, bicycles, buses, subways and other low-emission transports; and Improve– to purchase or use electric vehicles.
Transportation is the third largest source of carbon emissions in the world, accounting for approximately 24% of total global emissions. According to data released by China's National Development and Reform Commission, China's total carbon emissions in the transportation sector in 2019 were about 1.1 billion tons, accounting for about 10% of the country's total carbon emissions. And 40% of the emissions in urban transportation is contributed by small cars, according to Planning Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport of China. During COP26, China published two key documents: a guiding document on the country's climate action and an action plan on peaking emissions. These two government releases are parts of China's "1+N" policy framework, the national directives to help it peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
"WildAid expects that COP26 can provide an ambitious and executable roadmap for global climate governance, and promote the transformation of the low-carbon consumption and production methods around the world," said John Baker, WildAid, Chief Program Officer.
"After years of efforts, the public has finally started to understand what 'Green Transportation' means," said Yu Chong, Chief Representative of WildAid China. "But it is still a lot thing to do to strengthen the communication based on science and effectiveness to make up the gap in people's mind of the emissions from consumer side and the China's "dual-carbon" goal, and to provide the public with more choices and services for participating in low-carbon lifestyles, and transforming low-carbon awareness into climate action involving everyone."
The campaign materials will be placed in high traffic areas through COP26, which we expect to garner over 11 million impressions. Placed at the Shanghai subway Renmin Place station in the center of Shanghai, which serves over 500,000 passengers per day, we expect our billboard to garner 7 million impressions. Our other major billboard placement is in Shenzhen subway Shimin Center station, also a super busy station in town, with over 140,000 passengers per day, where we expect our billboard will receive approximately 4 million impressions.

According to France24, the group included tourists from France, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, who were apprehended by park rangers after breaking into the Temple of the Sun.
The temple is off-limits to travellers in an attempt to preserve the religious site.
However, the poo was found in the sanctuary and they have been accused of "damaging Peru's cultural heritage".
Pieces of the stone wall were also found broken along with a crack in the floor.

Cusco regional police chief Wilbert Leyva told a local news agency: "The six tourists are being detained and investigated by the public ministry for the alleged crime against cultural heritage."
If found guilty, they could be sent to prison for at least four years.
Machu Picchu, which translates as "old mountain" in Quechuan, was built in the 1400s and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983.
It is also one of the New Wonders of the World, alongside the Colosseum in Italy and the Taj Mahal in India.

Rannoch riverside access for all nearly complete thanks to SSE Renewables funding
Rannoch's much-loved riverside paths are being made more accessible for everyone of all ages and abilities thanks to support from SSE Renewables.
They have contributed over £40,000 towards the Rannoch Riverside All Abilities Path project, which aims to create more accessible paths down to and alongside the River Tummel. It includes improved signage and will link to the wider local path network.
The funding was awarded by SSE Renewables via their Sustainable Development Fund in Perth and Kinross, which allows the benefits of their renewable energy developments to be accessible to a wider area and is directed to projects that can achieve significant impact in local communities, like Kinloch Rannoch.
Additional funding for the project was awarded through Sustrans' Places for Everyone programme, an active travel infrastructure fund backed by the Scottish Government which aims to increase everyday walking, wheeling and cycling journeys throughout Scotland, and Avondale Environmental as part of the NPL Group through the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund.
The Rannoch Riverside All Abilities Path Project is being managed by Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust (PKCT) in partnership with Cycling Scotland's Transport Planning & Engineering (TP&E) and the Rannoch Paths and Open Spaces Group (RPOSG) to enhance the local environment for everyone.
Annie Benson, RPOSG Chair, commented:
This is another significant show of support from local funders for this accessible riverside path project, which will make such a difference for the local community and visitors wanting to explore the lovely path along the River Tummel and the wider path network around the village.
Bid Strachan, PKCT Communities Officer, said:
We are very excited that this All-Abilities Path Project is near completion. The access beside the bridge to the riverside path was limiting to many users due to the steep incline and steps, and the riverside path itself was unsurfaced making it unpassable to many after adverse weather.
We want everyone of all ages and abilities to be able to enjoy the special qualities of this location, and by upgrading this route we shall achieve that aim.
Marianne Townsley, SSE Renewables' Community Investment Manager said:
The Sustainable Development Fund creates a long-term source of funding in the region, and it supports legacy projects that will make a difference for many years to come. We are delighted to provide this grant to PKCT and their partners so they can develop this new accessible path in Kinloch Rannoch which will help build sustainable tourism whilst benefitting the local community and visitors alike.
Work commenced late February 2022 and is due to finish in May 2022.

Thanks to the generosity of Alice Lehmann Butler '53 and her husband, John, the boathouse on Lake Waban has undergone a comprehensive renovation to update and upgrade a facility used by Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics.
Alice Butler was an avid member of her dorm crew, and she and her husband are lifelong fitness enthusiasts. Their gift fully enabled a much-needed renovation to the structure, increasing campus-wide recreational opportunities and supporting other PERA initiatives as well.
The 2015 renovation made the Boathouse more appealing and accessible, creating a new main entry, a "quarterdeck" class/meeting room, improved shop space, two restrooms, canoe/kayak room, and storage. The project also improved the areas surrounding the site, addressing soil erosion and drainage issues.
Recreational boating is open to all Wellesley College students/faculty/staff/alumni with a Wellesley ID. Participants are required to sign a waiver and are able to take out canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, and sailboats. A light wind certification or approval from Wellesley sailing instructor is required to take out sailboats. For Recreational boating, one guest can be admitted per Wellesley ID.
Light Wind Rating. Required to use a sail boat during recreational hours in light winds. Test: Written test on terminology; demonstration of knowledge of basic knots, rigging a boat, sailing a short course and landing boat satisfactorily. A crew is optional.
Heavy Wind Rating. Required to sail a boat during recreational hours in a wind over 10 knots. Test: Some dinghy racing experience on or off campus required. Demonstration of ability to handle Tech dinghy in winds over 10 knots.
Is a long standing tradition at Wellesley College. Students may earn 2 physical education credits by practicing for and participating in the Dorm and Class Crew Regatta at the end of the Term. The program will only be offered in the fall during Term 1. To learn more about the class times and registration process on the Physical Education website.
Weather and water temperature permitting we hope to open after spring break.
The Butler Boathouse is open to students, faculty, and staff in the fall and spring. Check the Facilities Page for hours. Participants are required to sign a waiver and are able to take out canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, and sailboats. A light wind certification or approval from the Waterfront Director is required to take out sailboats. For safety regulations of water vessels to lifeguard staffing, all on-water experiences are operated on a first come, first serve basis. During the summer the Boathouse is open Monday through Thursday afternoons from late June to early August. Summer programming and staffing are not managed by the Wellesley Recreation Department. Rather, summer programming is managed by EXPLO and Upward Bound Programs.
If you have questions about the facility, please direct your questions to Marni Friedman, Associate Director for Facilities & Operations, KSC 247, 781.283.2002 or mfriedm8@wellesley.edu.


Infectious diseases such as malaria and syphilis can be diagnosed rapidly and reliably in the field by using a simple test developed by Canadian scientists. The test is based on the use of DNAzymes and gold nanoparticles. As the researchers report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their test allows for the sensitive detection of bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
Dangerous infectious diseases must be identified in time in order to prevent them from spreading. The DNA of pathogens is an ideal biomarker and can easily be identified by PCR. However, this is only possible if expensive laboratory equipment and trained personnel are on hand. This may not be the case in remote locations or developing nations. Alternative methods that are simple and inexpensive while also remaining sensitive and specific are needed.
Kyryl Zagorovsky and Warren C.W. Chan at the University of Toronto (Canada) have now combined two modern technologies in a novel way: They have used DNAzymes as signal amplifiers and gold nanoparticles for detection. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) absorb light. The wavelength of the light absorbed depends on whether the nanoparticles are separate or aggregated. The difference in color can be seen with the naked eye. A solution of individual particles appears red, whereas aggregates are blue-violet in color.
DNAzymes are synthetic DNA molecules that can enzymatically split other nucleic acid molecules. The researchers separated a DNAzyme into two inactive halves that both selectively bind to a specific gene segment of the pathogen to be detected. The act of binding reunites the halves and activates them.
For their test procedure, the scientists produced two sets of GNPs that bind to two different types of DNA strand, type A and type B. In addition, they synthesized a three-part "linker" made of DNA. One end of the linker is the complement to type A DNA; the second end is the complement to type B DNA. The center part is designed to be split by active DNAzymes.
In the test sample with no pathogen present, the DNAzymes remain inactive and the linkers remain intact. They bind to a GNP at each end and link the GNPs into larger aggregates, causing the solution to turn blue-violet. In contrast, if there is pathogen in the sample, the DNAzymes are activated and proceed to split the linkers. Now only the bridging parts of the linker can bind to DNA strands of the GNPs, so they cannot link the GNPs together. The solution stays red. Because every activated DNAzyme splits many linkers, it amplifies the signal.
This new type of test is simple and inexpensive; it can be made to detect every kind of pathogen, as the researchers demonstrated by detecting gonorrhea, syphilis, malaria, and hepatitis B. In a freeze-dried state, the reagents can be stored with no problem – an important requirement for use in the field.
For more information, please review Chan, W. et al. A Plasmonic DNAzyme Strategy for Point-of-Care Genetic Detection of Infectious Pathogens, Angewandte Chemie International Edition (dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.201208715).


The vector of anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a ligand-based CAR constructed for the engineering of T cells to target human BCMA. The T cells are genetically modified through transduction with a retroviral vector expressing truncated APIRL linked to CD28, OX40 and CD3-zet signaling domains. And the vector product was designed for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Q: Необходимо раскритиковать код и дать советы по исправлению Помогите исправить мой недо-код, пожалуйста. Даны две строки равной длины. Объединить их в одну строку и записать на место первой так, чтобы на нечётных местах шли буквы первой строки, а на чётных - второй.
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int output(char* s);
int st_len(char* st);
int main()
{
    char* st1, * st2, * st;
    int i = 0;
    st1 = (char*)calloc(1, 1);
    fgets(st1, 255, stdin);
    output(st1);
    st2 = (char*)calloc(1, 1);
    fgets(st2, 255, stdin);
    output(st2);
    st_len(st1);
    st = 0;
    do
    {
        st += st1[i];
        st += st2[i];
        i++;
    }
    while (i<=2*st_len(st1));
    st1 = st;
    output(st1);
}
int output(char* s)
{
    int i = 0;
    printf("\n");
    while (s[i] != '\0')
    {
        printf("%c", s[i]);
        i++;
    }
    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}
int st_len(char* st)
{
    int n = 0;
    for (; st[n] != '\0'; n++);
    return n;
}

A: По-моему, вы делаете ошибку - не смо'трите на это: записать на место первой так... - т.е. если строки abcdef и ghijkl, то вместо первой должно быть ahcjel... Далее, я не вижу условия, что нельзя выводить строку как строку или что нельзя использовать ту же strlen().
Поэтому - я бы делал так:
int main()
{
#define len 300
    char st1[len], st2[len];
    printf("1st string: ");
    fgets(st1, len, stdin);
    printf("2nd string: ");
    fgets(st2, len, stdin);
    if (strlen(st1) != strlen(st2))
    {
        fprintf(stderr,"strlen(st1) != strlen(st2)\n");
        return 1;
    }

    printf("\n\n1st string: %s",st1);
    printf("2nd string: %s",st2);

    for(int i = 1; i < strlen(st2); i+=2)
        st1[i] = st2[i];
    printf("Res string: %s",st1);
}

A: Массиву букв нужно выделить память по больше. И обнуление не нужно вообще.
st1 = (char*)malloc(510);
st2 = (char*)malloc(255);
st  = (char*)malloc(510);

Функция fgets считывает строку вместе с символом конца строки \n. Желательно его убрать, а то будет лишние переносы строк. Проверять надо его наличие потому-что заведённая строка могла быть очень большой.
fgets(st1, 255, stdin);
if(st1[strlen(st1)-1] == '\n')
  st1[strlen(st1)-1] = '\00' ;
fgets(st2, 255, stdin);
if(st2[strlen(st2)-1] == '\n')
  st2[strlen(st2)-1] = '\00' ;

Проверять надо условие задачи : что строки одинаковой длины. Иначе может быть ошибка доступа к памяти.
if(strlen(st1) != strlen(st2)) {
  fputs("String lengths is different\n",stderr);
  goto Exit ; }

Циклом заполняем буквы этих строк и команда += изменяет указатель а не строку. Так как строка это массив букв нужно работать как с массивом. Индексы массива длины Length это 0 .. Length-1. И доступ к элементу [Length] будет неправильным. Цикл i<=2*st_len(st1) нужно заменить на i<st_len(st1). Попроще можно так :
size_t sl = strlen(st1);
while ( i < sl )
{
    st [i * 2] = st1[i];
    st [i * 2 + 1] = st2[i];
    ++ i ;
}
st [i * 2] = '\00' ;

После копирования букв в конце нужно добавить нулевой символ, так как функция печати ориентируется именно на него.
После создания результата нужно строку st записать в первую строку st1 как было сказано в задаче. Ваше присвоение st=st1; это присвоение указателя, а не строки. Копировать можно циклом :
for(int j=i * 2;j>=0;--j)
  st1[j] = st[j];

Или если кто-то неправильно понял задачу, то так :
size_t sl = strlen(st1);
while ( i < sl )
{
    if ( i % 2 == 0 )
      st [i] = st1[i];
    else
      st [i] = st2[i];
    ++ i ;
}
st [i] = '\00' ;
for(int j=i;j>=0;--j)
  st1[j] = st[j];

Освобождать память нужно всегда, чтобы не забывать. Забывание приведёт к утечке памяти.
Exit :
 free(st);
 free(st2);
 free(st1);


Lil Wayne made it a trending topic all morning — his appearance once again on ESPN First Take that had many speculating about such actual appearance. Wayne talks softly and he may be construed as aloof, but it doesn't seem that unusual to me. Maybe it's because he predicted the Lakers are making the playoffs?
It was about the content of the whole segment for me though and Weezy talked about his beloved Packers losing Jordy Nelson yesterday to a torn ACL, how he became a Packers fan in the first place, his views on Tom Brady & Deflategate, and finally: a rave review of Straight Outta Compton. ICYMI, enjoy up above.

Carbon, a viable option2 years, 6 months ago
Small farms making money from carbon credits
Daniel Pedersen 18 Jul 2019, 7:30 a.m.
Carbon Farmers of Australia director Louisa Kiely says farmers can be paid to increase their soil's water holding capacity and structure. The National Carbon Farmers Conference is slated for August 5-8 in Albury.
Hotbed of potential for extra income, soil rejuvenation from carbon credits.
ONCE the domain of large, marginal areas in far flung parts of the country, carbon farming now has become a viable income stream for smaller farms.
"There's a hotbed of potential now," says Carbon Farmers of Australia director Louisa Kiely.
"Farmers are being paid good money because of the global demand for carbon credits."
The mining, airline and shipping industries are responsible for massive global carbon emissions and are looking to buy their way out of trouble by promoting ways of removing carbon dioxide equivalents from the atmosphere. It's a distinct bid to placate shareholders, whose money enables the companies to scale up.
Enter Australian farmers, who through planting trees and managing cropping and pasture enterprises can create on-property carbon sinks.
The federal government has set a price for an Australian carbon credit unit (ACCU) of about $15, which is sold via the Emmissions Reduction Fund and pans out to about $13.80 per tonne of carbon returned to the earth.
The companies buying the ACCU's can then offset those credits to allow them to reduce their carbon footprint.
For example the North Australia Pastoral Company, which manages 6.1 million hectares in Queensland and the Northern Territory, has declared itself carbon neutral by buying carbon credits while it aligns its business to have less impact on the environment.
But while Australian companies can buy carbon credits on the international market, which are generally much cheaper, Australian farmers cannot sell their CCUs internationally.
Mrs Kiely said government should take the lead on the issue by allowing the global market to set prices, which, she said, would be a logical stance for a coalition government to take.
Corryong, Victoria, organic dairy farmer Stephen Whitsed is now preparing to sell soil carbon credits for what he considers simply improving his farm's productivity.
"If you can increase your soil carbon by 1 per cent, you increase its ability to hold water - by 140,000 litres per hectare," he said.
Mr Whitsed is using a SoilKee renovator on his property.
CONFERENCE SOON
LEADING carbon farmers and those interested in starting up will meet in Albury next month for a four-day conference.
A benefactor has agreed to meet 50 per cent of the costs for any Australian farmer looking to attend the educational lectures on August 6 and 7.
The conference begins on August 5 and ends August 8 at the Albury Entertainment Centre.
Carbon Farmers Australia director Louisa Kiely said farmers would be travelling from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Nepal to attend.
"Internationally farmers can supply significant climate change mitigation," she said.
Mrs Kiely said she and husband Michael had first learned about the potential of carbon farming from Bruce Maynard, of the former Central West Catchment Management Authority.
Crossbred change a big win for Kelly family's crop fattening operation
Queensland producer Glen Kelly says a chance opportunity to try Red Angus has led to higher yields, marbling and MSA Indexes.

Rayne Vigneau has all the excellent qualities of a legendary fine wine. Classified 1st growth in the famous 1855 classification, the domain is also renowned for its precious soil that abounds in precious stones. This Sauternes has a particularly intense style, fresh with a long finish on the palate. Rayne Vigneau is a wine that contains amazing freshness, to drink young or to keep in the cellar. Château de Rayne Vigneau is one of the benchmarks of this appellation.
The 2013 Rayne-Vigneau, picked from September 21 until October 30 over four tries, is being blended from 28 lots and sees 40% new oak. It is still showing quite conspicuous oak on the nose, although there is clearly sufficient honeyed fruit to support it. With continued aeration, it reveals attractive but subtle almond and spice scents. The palate is well-balanced with a lively honeyed entry. This is already very cohesive, with fine delineation, and the finish is very composed, with a saltiness lingering on the aftertaste. It is a classic Rayne-Vigneau that should give a lot of pleasure after bottling.
Barrel Sample. At this point in time, the wine is unfocussed. It has weight, a complex structure and attractive acidity, but the fruit is in hiding-it is there but not yet expressive. A wine for cellaring.
This is gorgeous from start to finish, with toasted macadamia nut and coconut notes, followed by a range of orchard and tropical fruit flavors, from yellow apple and white peach to mango and papaya. Totally seamless and delightfully unctuous. Best from 2018 through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,750 cases made.
