Engel Statement on Political Transition and Risk of Instability in the DRC
WASHINGTON—Representative Eliot L. Engel, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today made the following statement on the importance of holding elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) this year:
"Over the past 18 months, I've been concerned by a steadily escalating crackdown on those opposed to President Kabila's attempt to remain in power beyond his term limits. With his mandate expiring in just over seven months, President Kabila has used administrative and technical means in an effort to make elections this year impossible. With no indication from President Kabila that he plans to honor the Constitution and the will of the Congolese people by organizing timely elections and stepping down at the end of his term, the DRC is rapidly approaching a political crisis.
"President Kabila has presided over relative stability and impressive economic growth, but his current course puts that legacy at risk. Flouting the DRC's constitution threatens his country's democratic trajectory. The state-sponsored crackdown of his opponents undermines a vibrant civil society. In sum, the DRC is facing potentially grave instability, which could, in turn, engulf the nine Central African countries it borders.
"The failure of democratic transition in the Congo would be catastrophic for the region, and I hope that it won't be necessary to consider sanctions in order to prevent a man-made crisis. Instead, I ask that President Kabila announce his intention to step down at the end of the year, schedule elections, and allow the DRC to continue building upon the progress it had been making toward democracy. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and with the Administration to support President Kabila and the Congolese people in organizing free, fair, timely, and credible elections."

There was no sun in the sky yet, and his dream of the beautiful canyon was fading with the first glimpse of dawn. He lay in his bed contemplating if he had a minute or two to reminisce on the memories of walking with his family on the old covered bridge that offered shelter during any season. It was long ago that it connected Chico to Paradise for the first time. It no longer did. The fires had engulfed it along with the place he grew up. He was thankful for the memories, and remorseful knowing that they will end with him.
As he walked into his office he received the message he had been waiting for: "Chico State will be losing power throughout the campus due to the heart. All Activity on Chico State will be suspended until 8 o'clock tonight. Butte Hall will stay energized and open to any student as a cool down center." He pictured all the seniors piling into Butte Hall and offering knowledge to all the freshmen just to suppress their nerves. He had been one of those seniors "back in the day," and "cooling center nights" were some of his fondest memories.
He sat in his chair and turned on his computer monitor, he would be in his chair for a long time today monitoring the five super batteries that will be supplying Butte Hall for the next 10 hours. Each one capable of supplying a small house for a day they were more than enough to make it through the day. Lights started to glow green one his screen 1-5 columns all glowing the same color they were fully loaded and ready to go. He had been around as long as the batteries and they had never failed him over the past 10 years. He leaned back in his chair and turned on his portable fan. Immediately the breeze he felt in took him back to his dream. With a cool wind soothing his face, he escaped back into his canyon memories, knowing that students in Butte Hall will be safe and comfortable that the night, as they make memories for a lifetime.
The 2005 Master Plan of California State University, Chico, assumes a stable climate, which science now shows us will not be the case. Recent advancements in our scientific understanding of climate change now allow us to forecast how climate change will not only the world in general, but at Chico State specifically. The students of Community Service Practice in Geography, a course at California State University, Chico, are changing the future.

Ok I 've known and liked these two brothers for a long time.
What should I do about a harassing neighbor?
I don't want to end up on his bad side and tell my parents or his parents but I don't want to be pushed around all the time when I see him.
He gets really close to me and kinda threatens me but doesn't actually say threats.
But he started using drugs alot and i can tell he isn't sane and he is very unpredictable.
I'm 16 and i believe he is 18 and we've known each other for a while.
I have a neighbor thats a few doors down from me that always harasses me and asks me for things.
Around us we have a mall, movie theatres, parks, etc. any ideas?
Both me and the person I like are freshmen in high school, so that kind of eliminates a lot.

For Michael Baxter, Jan. 8 will be a different kind of opening night at Riverside Theatre. As an actor, he played Rusty Charlie, a crapshooter in "Guys and Dolls" in 2011, but this time he'll be on the other side of the curtain.
Baxter is an associate director and associate choreographer for "Evita," the next big show on the Riverside schedule, leading into Vero Beach's centennial year.
As producing artistic associate of The Muny, an historic theater in St. Louis, Missouri, Baxter will be doubling the fireworks as that venue marks the beginning of its own second century.
Audiences' familiarity with a show as well known as "Evita" can be a mixed blessing, he said. "In many ways working on a popular show is more difficult in the fact that audiences come into the production with certain expectations."
Baxter explained that in working on a revival, especially a concept musical such as "Evita," requires everyone "immerse themselves back into the author's original intent and then start over from scratch." They also have to figure out how to present the story effectively for today's audience.
That's the thrill of directing a revival, he said,"daring to ask the unknown questions and breathing new life into already existing text."
Baxter said tackling "Evita" is simultaneously thrilling and daunting and will be "theatrically surprising."
The show, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, opened on Broadway in 1979 with Mandy Patinkin as Che Gueverra and Patti LuPone as Eva Peron. It had 11 nominations and won seven Tony Awards. "Evita" will be at Riverside Theatre Jan. 8-27.
Opening during the "Evita" run is "Next to Normal," a Second Stage production on the Waxlax stage. The modern-day musical runs Jan. 22-Feb. 10. (riversidetheatre.com)
More festivities
The arts community is gearing up for the Cultural Council of Indian River County's Celebrate the Arts festivities 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Jan. 5 in Riverside Park. There's an interesting and welcome change this year.
Vero Beach Museum of Art and Riverside Theatre have always been a big part of the celebration but for the first time the action will take place for the most part on the Riverside Theatre campus. (Does anyone remember the year the park was more lake than grass?)
This is a big family day for mingling with the music and art organizations as well as individual artists, musicians and authors that provide us with entertainment and inspiration all year. This free family festival will include arts activities, cultural demonstrations and live performances throughout the day.(cultural-council.org)

Franklin, NH - The Winnipesaukee River cascades its way down Franklin Falls, snaking its way through the center of town, on its way to join the Pemigewasset. Together they form the mighty Merrimack River. An ideal location for powering mills as the Industrial Revolution poured into the region. A small town formed in 1828, Franklin became a bustling manufacturing city by 1895. However, like the waters of the Merrimack, quality manufacturing jobs steadily flowed south. Many of the mills are gone, reclaimed by the rivers.
The citizens of this proud city have never given up. You can't keep a Franklin Girl or a Franklin Guy down for long. They have survived on pure relentlessness and this city is on the rise. Franklin Gear is dedicated to the spirit and perseverance of the Franklin Girl; the backbreaking, sweat-soaked, drive of a Franklin Guy.
My name is Bill Yacopucci, but most people call me Bill Y, and I'm a Franklin Guy. Check out my blog and you'll meet the other Franklin Guys and Franklin Girls who are dedicated to the success of this great city. They are at the heart of its revitalization. You'll see us harness the power of our spirit - and our three rivers - to bring Franklin back.
And - like the rivers themselves - our drive is unstoppable!

Art of Salado
Inspired By Salado
Visit Salado! App
Fourth Fridays
Johnny's Lone Star Music Series
Gail Allard of Salado Glassworks
Introducing Inspired by Salado, a new project, in partnership with the Salado Art and Cultural District, highlighting the many exciting, prolific artists and community members who have chosen to make Salado their home. This series to help you get up close and personal with the individuals who are inspired by Salado, and who continue to inspire us. They are sure to inspire you too!
Meet local glassblower, Gail Allard.
When Gail Allard opened his glassblowing studio in Salado in 2011, he quickly became a familiar part of the landscape. It's hard for visitors to miss the red warehouse building with its colorful mural of a glassblowing cat and spaceship, or the distinctive personalities within.
"A lot of people come here because we're all characters out there, and a lot of people know about us because everyone is their own personality," Gail says about visitors to the studio.
Gail has been in Salado since 2011. He briefly worked for the now defunct Salado Arts Workshop before opening his own studio on 11/11/11, an auspicious date that boded well for his time in Salado. Originally from a small farming community in Missouri, Gail moved to Texas with his mother and stepfather, and quickly put down roots and stayed. Gail had long known he wanted to be an artist and attended college for art, but it took some time for him to find his medium. It wasn't until 2002 that he walked into a glassblowing studio in Temple and, according to Gail, "that was pretty much it."
He apprenticed at that same studio, Ryno Glass, under Bob Rynearson starting in 2002. During his time as an apprentice, he learned the art of glassblowing but also the business side: how to talk to people and demonstrate his work. When asked what it was about the art form that he initially found so inspiring, Gail identifies a unique aspect of glassblowing: "You can't physically touch it, but you have to make it do what you want it to do. It's something unlike anything else. It comes out of the furnace a 2000 degree blob and you've got to figure out how to make it into these different things by using different tools."
The unpredictability of glassworking is another important inspiration for Gail: "[It's] a chance to make something new and very unique. Every time I get a gather out of the furnace, I never collect the same amount of glass. So right off the bat, it's gonna be different." For Gail, the unpredictability and adrenaline is part of the fun for Gail, and what keeps him going: "Inspiration is smelling the paper burning and the heat and racing against the clock. You only have a limited amount of time to make whatever you're making. Glass doesn't like to get cold; it doesn't like to get too hot when it's been cold, so there's a balance in between managing time and temperature and making what you want, because sometimes it doesn't always work out, and when it doesn't work out it's sometimes really bad. It crashes to the floor and you start all over again.You don't get to pick it back up and start over, you don't get to park it on the table and go eat a sandwich for lunch. You start and you finish. You can't rush the process but you have to work very quickly."
Inspiration comes to Gail in many different forms, but two of the most important are daydreaming and the spontaneity of working with the medium. A project that arose out of a daydream was what he calls his hieroglyphic vases, which feature raised, abstract appliques of signature silver glass, achieved by touching the hot gather of molten glass to the just-blown vase like brush and paint. Gail was inspired by "hieroglyphics and shapes and vessels that may have been incorporated years and years ago; plus the hieroglyphics are art themselves." From there, he lets the glass dictate the design: sometimes he has in mind a river or the wings of a bird, and sometimes he loosely writes his children's names. He was recently inspired to pick up the project again after about 5 years. Much of the inspiration for his work, however, happens spontaneously on the floor during the glassblowing process, and many of the results of the work can't be seen until opening up the oven the next day. That's when he may see how something worked out and connect with it, then try to recreate it and see where it goes.
Glassblowing is a team process, and sometimes lucky visitors to the studio can get a glimpse of this, often toward the end of the day around 3 or 4 PM, when the main projects for the day have been finished and Gail and the other glass artists decide to make something fun. "So then we get to kind of show off a little bit," Gail explains. "Everyone understands every part of the process that's out on the floor and where one person needs to go to the restroom or something, somebody else comes in and picks it right up. So it becomes this dance, and you see all these people start to work together, from the little blob to the vase. And people are just like, that was so cool watching everybody, you guys don't even talk to each other. We completely understand every part of the process, how to get from point A to point Z." Another special aspect of Salado, he adds, is the opportunity for visitors to meet the artists after hours at local hangout Barrow Brewing Company and share a beer.
Something people may not know about his art, Gail says, is that "the actual process of glassblowing hasn't changed for over 2000 years. The only difference from way back then to now is that we've figured out how to use natural gas and electricity to help the process." Throughout history, glassblowing has been considered an elite art form, where artists were considered "a couple rungs down from nobility." Glassblowers were also intensely secretive, and the stakes of living in communities of artisans like the glassblowers of Murano, Italy, were high: "If you were a glassblower and you left for no good reason, they would send somebody out to kill you because they didn't want their secrets to be revealed to anyone else."
There are three components to Gail's business model: the perennially popular Blow-Your-Own events (he says participants blew 2400 Christmas ornaments this year alone), gallery sales, and commission projects. Gail loves making large-scale chandelier projects, like "Luce Guida," or "Guiding Light," the one he recently made for Texas A & M – Central Texas. The chandelier is an awe-inspiring, 24-foot tall installation in the shape of a torch floating five stories above the ground, made of over 400 individual pieces of glass that twist and writhe like flame tendrils. He also specializes in custom projects for private clients, which, thanks to a background in welding, he is often able to make in-house from start to finish. These projects are where he really gets to flex his creativity: a customer may not know exactly what they want, so he'll go to their space, talk through what they're thinking, then get out his watercolors and start sketching up a concept. "The conception to completion aspect of these projects is what is the most inspiring," he explains. "These projects become big morale boosters for everyone who works here." Another favorite project was his contribution to the art at the entrances and exits to Salado.
When asked what about Salado he found particularly inspiring, Gail identified the history, community, and sense that he's helping build toward a better future. "One of the cool things about this particular area, is that this was an agricultural hub back in the day," Gail notes. "There's a lot of history here, and I think we're still building the framework for the next 20 years." As many know, Salado Glassworks recently made the decision to stay in Salado after considering a possible move to Georgetown. When it comes down to it, Gail says,"it really is the community. This is our home, we can't do this anywhere else."
Community is important for Gail, and he values the friendships he's made here in Salado: "We have made a lot of really good friends here in town, and I think probably my favorite part about that is being able to meet everyone at Barrow, have a couple of beers, eat dinner, and do it all again next week or the next day." Other favorite things to do in town include taking his kids to the creek and sitting on his back porch to watch the parachuters from Skydive Temple drift down as the sun sets. "It's very easy to relax here in Salado," he adds.

Florida mother gives birth at McDonald's
By: Alex Hider
A Florida woman and her child are both doing well after the woman gave birth at a Sarasota McDonald's, WWSB-TV reports.
Cathy Jordan was in the restroom at the restaurant last Saturday when she suddenly went into labor. Another customer yelled for help — cries that were luckily answered by April Jones.
Jones, a nurse, happened to be eating at the restaurant when Jordan went into labor. She ran into the bathroom, threw a couple of coats on the floor, and talked Jordan through the birth.
When the child emerged, it wasn't breathing and turning blue. Luckily, paramedics arrived just in time and helped assist Jordan in cutting the umbilical cord. Soon after, the baby began breathing and crying as normal.
The Jordan and her baby son, Parker, were rushed to the hospital where they were met by Jordan's husband. At 5 pounds and 9 ounces, Parker had been born a month early but is currently doing well.
"Everything I needed to do just came to me," Jones told WWSB. "I thought to myself, this has to be the strongest child I've ever seen in my life."
This is far from the first time that a life has began at the Golden Arches location in the Sunshine State. In 2013 , a woman gave birth at a McDonald's location in Lake Wales, Florida and named her son "Ronald."

Drink wine and help cure cancer – does it get any better than that? Really?
TeamBrent is proud to be a part of the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC), the nation's original fundraising bike-a-thon. Once this year's $45 million fundraising goal is reached, the PMC will have contributed an incredible half a billion dollars to fight cancer. Our team of dedicated cyclists is set to ride 192 miles next week for the cause…… You can help by DRINKING WINE.
We are excited to announce that the 192 Red Wine Blend, created exclusively for the PMC by Trinchero Family Estates, one of Napa Valley's premiere wineries, is now available at Mo's Wine & Spirits in Fairfield. Pick up this delicious bottle for $14.99 – a portion goes right back to the PMC, and enjoy knowing that with every sip you are helping fight cancer!
"192" references the total mileage of the original PMC route from Sturbridge to Provincetown MA. 192 Red Wine Blend is crafted from premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot varietals from prime vineyards in Northern California. The intense flavors of black cherry and berry, with hints of chocolate and vanilla, come together for a full, lingering finish.


(Tamil Nadu) Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi said on Thursday that his government was firm on the announcement made on Wednesday on nationalisation of some industries.
In an attempt to make available cement at an affordable rate, the State Government on Wednesday decided that cement will be sold through the Civil Supplies Corporation's warehouses at cost price.
Mr. Karunanidhi recalled that when the DMK government decided to nationalise private transport corporations and approached them, owners of the corporations had cooperated.
They even attended the function held to mark the transport nationalisation project.
Now what kind of industrialist will felicitate the government for taking over his business? Ans: (a) the kind that is glad to get rid of a troubled, loss-making venture and (b) the kind that is forced to grin and bear it.
But really, it's not just a question about whether industrialists line up to garland Karunanidhi. It's a question of whether ordinary people will be any better off. It is only a scriptwriter's fantasy to believe that selling cement at cost in government shops will make it available, and at affordable rates.
But Tamil movies are not know to take ideas from Bengali ones.

ETP's case against 'eco-terrorists' dismissed in federal court
by C.S. Hagen | .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) | News | February 15th, 2019
BISMARCK – Legal battles between corporate oil and anti-pipeline interests made shocking claims when lawsuits were first filed, on both sides of the pipeline.
North Dakota courts dismissed hundreds of criminal charges against the 836 NoDAPL activists arrested. While official documents show TigerSwan never received permission to operate within the state, many of the civil charges brought by the North Dakota Private Investigation and Security Board against the private security firm have also been dismissed in court.
And on Thursday, a $900 million counter lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota in 2017 by Energy Transfer Partners was dismissed. The lawsuit named in part individuals involved in the protest movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline, and Greenpeace, BankTrack, and Earth First! as defendants, alleging that the organizations violated the RICO Act and were involved in racketeering.
"Justice has been served," Greenpeace USA General Counsel Tom Wetterer said. "This is a huge victory not just for Greenpeace but for anyone and everyone who has ever stood up against powerful corporate interests. Today's decision to dismiss Energy Transfer's baseless lawsuit against Greenpeace and others sends a clear message to companies trying to muzzle civil society that corporate overreach will not be tolerate.
"It is also a check on corporate efforts to silence dissent."
Energy Transfer Partners lawsuit has struggled since it was first filed. On July 24, 2018, charges against BankTrack were dismissed, and lawyers for the plaintiff were ordered to amended complaint because its original had significant deficiencies, which included a failure to point out simple, concise, and direct allegations against the defendants.
On August 6, 2018, Energy Transfer Partners complied, but further named five others as defendants and broadened their case to include other pipeline battles including projects such as Bayou Bridge. Some of the people included in the lawsuit included Cody Hall, a South Dakota resident, Ruby Montoya, an Iowa resident and the press representative for Mississippi Stand, and Krystal Two Bulls, a Montana resident and media coordinator for the Red Warrior Camp.
Energy Transfer Partners alleged the defendants were eco-terrorists conspiring to commit RICO violations, to racketeer in violation of North Dakota law, to criminally trespass, and defame the parent company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.
In a press release at the time Energy Transfer Partners filed the lawsuit, the company named the defendants as the "Enterprise."
"These terrorist groups also funded their activities and the 'Enterprise' by using donations to fund a lucrative drug trafficking scheme inside the camps."
In the press release, Energy Transfer Partners said while building the Dakota Access Pipeline it was innocent of: encroaching on tribal treaty lands, desecrating sacred sites of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, constructing DAPL without proper consultation, and using excessive and illegal force against protestors.
"Other illegal activities directed at Energy Transfer and its executives that are alleged in the complaint include persistent attempted cyber-attacks and telephonic and electronic threats to the physical safety of executives," the press release stated.
Two weeks later the case against Earth First! Was dismissed.
During a 2018 CERAWeek energy conference, Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren doubled down on efforts against opponents of oil pipelines calling those involved were participating in civil insurrection.
When asked by the moderator at the conference about the opposition, Warren did not hide his distaste.
"For example, talking about somebody that needs to be removed from the gene pool, we had people drilling holes in our pipe," Warren stated.

Book: In Search of Good Energy Policy
Part III - Multidisciplinary Cases
The aim of this chapter is two-fold. First, the authors present a practical application of multidisciplinary research based on the experience of editing a book comprised of multidisciplinary cases and focusing on two chapter cases. There are many theoretical accounts of how one may approach multidisciplinary research, but here the authors aim to offer a practical account of how the theoretical goal of multidisciplinary research can play out in the 'real world'. After addressing the current conceptual understanding of multidisciplinary versus interdisciplinary research, the authors will explain how useful these concepts, in fact, are when applied to the typical constraints that many academics face today in conducting joint research. The authors, who are both editors of the book, will provide lessons for future multidisciplinary collaboration and suggestions for developing methods of multidisciplinary research.

18 - From Inspiration to Implementation: Laudato Si', Public Theology and the Demands of Energy Policy
from Part II - Cases and Multidisciplinary Responses
By Jonathan Chaplin
This chapter presents a critical appreciation of the influential encyclical letter of Pope Francis on the environment, Ladauto Si', issued on the eve of COP 21 in 2015. After placing the document in the context of earlier papal statements and noting its immediate impacts, the chapter sets out the theological, diagnostic and normative substance of the document and explores the multiple challenges it presents to diverse actors in the field of energy policy, from consumers through to global institutions. The chapter appreciates the originality, radicality and inspirational quality of the document but observes that it leaves much work for these actors if its message is to be effectively translated into workable, strategic environmental and energy policy guidelines. The document does well at the macro-level of broad cultural analysis and at the micro-level of illustrative concrete examples but falls short at the meso-level in terms of defining guidelines for specific sectors such as technology, markets and states.

Part I - Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Political science does not offer a distinct subdiscipline to address the subject of energy. Insofar as political science has addressed energy, it has focused on issues often neglected by other disciplines, notably the role of geopolitics and international relations, and the domestic politics of resource-rich states. Apart from the different subfields, we examine different approaches including realism, constructivism, liberalism and Marxism. The rise and fall and rise again of academic articles on energy in leading political science journals is reviewed and linked to exogenous forces such as the price of oil. Two distinct energy topics which have received attention are nuclear power and the oil crises of 1973–79 because of their wider geopolitical ramifications. Perhaps the most prominent or consistent thread through studies of the politics of energy is the question of energy security or energy independence. Finally, in recent years, energy has increasingly emerged as a focus for study in environmental politics and climate change politics in particular.

Energy policy making is complex, and policy makers have traditionally relied on evidence and assessments dominated by a handful of disciplines from the natural and physical sciences. These assessments have often focused on technological solutions with the implicit message that the answer to policy needs lies in identifying and developing the right technology. Historically, however, problems arise in the implementation process of new technologies. These obstacles may be better understood, and either alleviated or avoided, through a more holistic analysis of energy policy requirements that includes multidisciplinary approaches from the social sciences and humanities. This chapter introduces the main ideas of the book, including an overview of each chapter and the most important arguments of the book.
22 - Responses and Final Thoughts
from Part III - Multidisciplinary Cases
The final chapter presents responses to the content of the entire book by policy practitioners who have dealt with the realities of constructing and implementing policies. They include essays by Emily Shuckburgh, OBE, deputy head of the Polar Oceans Team at the British Antarctic Survey; John Deutch, currently Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and former Deputy Secretary of Energy in the United States; and Lord Ronald Oxburgh, who is a British parliamentarian, member of the House of Lords, a former chairman of Shell and himself a geologist and geophysicist. These 'technologists' offer three different perspectives on the topic of 'good energy policy'. Finally the editors provide the main lessons learned from the book and offer suggestions for future directions of multidisciplinary research in energy policy.
Part II - Cases and Multidisciplinary Responses
In this chapter, we discuss the evolution of the field of 'ethics of nuclear energy', regarding its past, present and future. We will first review the history of this field in the previous four decades, focusing on new and emerging challenges of nuclear energy production and waste disposal, in light of several important developments. Four of the most pressing ethical challenges will be further reviewed in the chapter. First, what is a morally 'acceptable' nuclear energy production method, if we consider the existing and possible new technologies? Second, provided a new tendency to consider nuclear waste disposal with several countries, what would be the new ethical and governance challenges of these multinational collaborations? Third, how should we deal with the (safety) challenges of the new geographic distribution of nuclear energy, tilting towards emerging economies with less experience with nuclear technology? Fourth, nuclear energy projects engender highly emotional controversies. Neither ignoring the emotions of the public nor taking them as a reason to prohibit or restrict a technology – we call them technocratic populist pitfalls respectively – seem to be able to guide responsible policy making.
5 - Public Theology – 'Grounded': An Energy Policy Rooted in Human Flourishing
from Part I - Multidisciplinary Perspectives
This chapter sets out the contribution to 'good energy policy' that might be forthcoming from the (perhaps unfamiliar) field of 'public theology'. It argues that an environmental public theology would commend a 'grounded' energy policy – one rooted in an explicit conception of a 'good' or 'virtuous' human life. After defining 'public theology', it identifies five convergent stances relevant to energy policy that seem to be emerging today among representative of most world religions: (i) nature as a 'divine' ordering marked by integration, equilibrium and harmony rather than as infinitely exploitable; (ii) a call for human 'stewardship' of nature; (iii) an acceptance of climate science and an urgent call to shift away from fossil fuels; (iv) scepticism towards unlimited economic growth and its attendant 'consumerism'; (v) locating energy questions within a broader commitment to a just social order characterised by both an equitable global distribution of access to energy and a decentralisation of energy supply ('environmental subsidiarity').
In Search of Good Energy Policy
Edited by Marc Ozawa, Jonathan Chaplin, Michael Pollitt, David Reiner, Paul Warde
Drawing on political science, economics, philosophy, theology, social anthropology, history, management studies, law, and other subject areas, In Search of Good Energy Policy brings together leading academics from across the social sciences and humanities to offer an innovative look at why science and technology, and the type of quantification they champion, cannot alone meet the needs of energy policy making in the future. Featuring world-class researchers from the University of Cambridge and other leading universities around the world, this innovative book presents an interdisciplinary dialogue in which scientists and practitioners reach across institutional divides to offer their perspectives on the relevance of multi-disciplinary research for 'real world' application. This work should be read by anyone interested in understanding how multidisciplinary research and collaboration is essential to crafting good energy policy.

Capacity to consent to treatment in patients with acute mania
Jonathan Beckett, Robert Chaplin
Journal: Psychiatric Bulletin / Volume 30 / Issue 11 / November 2006
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018, pp. 419-422
Aims and Method
This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients hospitalised with mania who had capacity to consent to treatment, to determine the predictors of capacity and to explore the relationship between detained status and capacity. Fifty in-patients with mania participated in a clinical interview to assess capacity.
Nineteen patients (38%) had overall capacity. Capacity was predicted by higher IQ, lower severity of manic symptoms and more episodes of depression; it was not related to voluntary or detained status. The domains of capacity were not hierarchical.
Many patients hospitalised with mania have capacity to make an informed choice regarding treatment even when compulsorily detained. Their capacity should be reviewed frequently and measures adopted to enhance capacity.

A reason, a lesson, a message could save your child's life. PRINTABLE VERSION
by silvia Marquine, Uruguay Feb 19, 2003
Health Opinions
"Grandma my eye hurts," said Joey Bergsma, a week after his second birthday. After doctor visits, his grandmother learned he had a form of cancer, retinoblastoma.
All around the world there is a big problem with a disease called retinoblastoma. This is the most common eye tumor in children, and the third most common cancer affecting children. This disease causes the growth of malignant tumors in the retinal cell layer of the eye.
"One in every 12,000 children in the United States is affected by retinoblastoma," said Dr. Timothy Murray of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami. It is important to check for it the first five years of life. Seven thousand children die worldwide each year because of a late diagnosis.
In family photos, Joey had one red eye and one white eye. At the time, Pam Bergsma, his grandmother, had no idea what caused it. "I just thought it meant it was a lousy picture," she said. The white dot was a reflection of a tumor that was forming in Joey's retina. It was a painful discovery. In picture after picture, Joey's family had no idea these photographs held the key to save his vision and life.
After severe eye pain, Joey's right eye was removed. Bergsma said, "It was one week after his second birthday on Monday, July 12th, 1999 that Joey, my beautiful grandson, told me his eye hurt. Wednesday he had a CAT scan and we were told to go to Bascom Palmer in Miami. Thursday afternoon Dr. Timothy Murray said he felt Joey had retinoblastoma and we needed to bring him in at 6 a.m. for an eye inoculation. They needed to remove his eye immediately in order to save his life." At that time, there was hope in Joey's family.
After months of treatment at nationally known cancer centers, the disease invaded Joey's brain and spinal fluid. The cancer was aggressive. He died Dec. 22, 2000, at the age of three.
If retinoblastoma is caught in time, it can be treated. If it spreads beyond the eye, as it did in Joey's case, there is no cure. As Bergsma said, "If I would have known about this disease and what the white spot represented, I would have saved his life." It was right there in front of everyone, but nobody knew what it was.
"A study from Children's Hospital Los Angeles in 1958 reported a mortality of 9/50 patients (18 percent) with unilateral retinoblastoma and 11 of 22 patients with bilateral retinoblastoma (Carbajal UM. Observations on retinoblastoma. Am. J Ophtalmology. 1958;45:391-402). By 1984, the overall mortality had decreased to 9 percent (Nelson LB. Pediatric Ophthalmology. Philadelphia, PA: WB Saunders;1984;207-212). Survival is now 90 percent. The incidence is approximately 1 in 14,000 to 34,000 live births per year. It is hard to tell the exact number of patients who were diagnosed or died all over the U.S. We can extrapolate from the incidence as I noted above, and the mortality which is about 10 percent," said Dr. Lilibeth Torno, one of the oncologists from Children's Hospital of Orange County, Calif.
Children die of metastic retinoblastoma, which means the cancer has spread beyond the retina into the body. When this happens, the survival rate is low.
"Retinoblastoma is the most common primary eye tumor in children. When detected early, survival is excellent. It is important to educate the public on signs and symptoms to look for, as well as establish guidelines for the pediatrician to screen for this condition," said Dr Torno.
Snapshots may help to save children or grandchildren from retinoblastoma.
Everyone is familiar with the "red-eye" effect, which flash cameras produce. There are processes in printing to remove the "red-eye," and some new cameras have a device that causes multiple flashes that eliminate the distortion. But, as Bergsma explains, the "red-eye" has a life-saving value.
At home in Lake Worth, Fla., Bergsma is doing her best, trying to tell people about this disease. Wherever she goes, she hands out photos of her grandson, Joey.
Bergsma is pushing legislation that would require pediatricians to screen all newborns and infants for eye disease by dilating the pupils and using an ophthalmoscope, which magnifies the retina.
She has canvassed the state, collecting resolutions and letters of support from cities, counties and health officials for this legislation, House Bill #1117 and Senate Bill #2062.
"This will be a wake up call to parents," she said. She wants eye screening to become a law in Florida.
"We have to change our standard. Every child born has the right to healthy vision," said Bergsma. She wants a month dedicated to education, and a law requiring all physicians to perform the simple eye exam to try to detect the growing cancer.
Last spring a grandmother in West Palm Beach saw Joey's story on TV and saved her granddaughter, Elexis,' life.
According to Bergsma: there are three subjects parents need to be aware of:
1. You can take a picture of a tumor or cataract. Always be alert to your photos.

The Call of the Void
It was while climbing in Patagonia that Itlalian alpinists, Luca Schiera and Paolo Marazzi, first set eyes upon the unnamed, unclimbed mountain that would inspire their next record-setting adventures. They returned to the Andes at the end of 2018 to make the world-first ascent of their mountain. It was a trip characterised by false-starts and sheer determination — as impressive for the difficulty of getting to the mountain, as the climb itself.
On Christmas Eve 2018, Luca and Paolo flew from Italy to Chile to begin an epic quest that would take them to the heart of the Campo de Hielo Norte Glacier. When they arrived in Puerto Bertrand, they were ready to hit the ground running. Yet they soon received news that their gauchos (skilled local horsemen) would be unable to reach them before the new year. Although they were expecting to be guided to the glacier, this didn't stop them from moving on: as soon as a weather window arrived, they set out on their journey alone and by foot — with kayaks in tow for the journey back.
After completing the 100km hike through the wind-scoured Solér valley in just four days, they reached the empty Campo de Hielo Norte glacier in Patagonia. Here they established basecamp at about 1,600m. Despite making such good progress, they soon encountered terrible weather conditions. Their skin was already blistered from exposure to intense wind and sun, but they sat out the weather for five more days before setting off to reach the start of their mountain climb on January 12th.
That night — due to an early decision to leave their tents behind at basecamp — they resorted to digging man-sized holes into the snow at the base of the mountain. So, with a bivvy bag each for protection, they slept the night in the snow and waited for sunrise.
They woke to perfect weather conditions. Beginning their ascent up the east side of the mountain, they quickly navigated dangerous snow ridges and towers of rock by foot, and reached the sheer rock face of the wall they had dreamed of climbing for so long.
When they reached the peak, they were rewarded with endless views of pristine Patagonian ice fields and snow-capped mountains that stretched into a bright blue sky. From the top, they could also see neighbouring mountains, 'Gargantua' and 'Pantagruel' — both names of French fairy tale characters. It was therefore only fitting to christen their 2,000-metre-high mountain 'Cerro Mangiafuoco' after a fearsome character from Italy's most famous fable, Pinocchio.
They called their new 6c M4 400m route 'L'appel du Vide' — 'The Call of the Void' — a name that hinted at both the wall's dangerous appeal and the very motivation behind the trip. This lure of untouched, unknown landscapes is what leads them to the few truly wild places left in the world, rather than the challenge of the climb itself. "I want to encourage everyone to discover a new place" says Paolo, "there are so many rocks to climb and so many places to go to create your own, very personal adventure."
Paolo and Luca took 40 extra-large meals Firepot meals with them for their expedition to Patagonia.

I'm the new DBA for this company. I'm seeing some of their tables have a LOT of indexes; for instance some have over 50 or 60.
Is this a good thing? From my research, it seems this is not good for performance.
I would like to delete all the indexes and start from 0. I think the developers have been using Tuning Advisor without really understanding indexes.
Probably some of those indexes are used, so deleting them all is not a good idea.
Instead of creating the recommended missing indexes as suggested, try to combine them with existing indexes and find a balance to keep the number of indexes low.
But for every insert and update in case of the indexed fields, then each of the indexes must be maintained, and that's then slowing down the operations.
At least I would recommend looking first at the index usage statistics report in SSMS. It will tell you if the indexes are being actually used or not. The figures are since the last time the server was started. If the indexes aren't being used, then it's quite safe to drop them, the only issue of course being index hints in SQL statements.
After this I would also look if the indexes are more or less duplicates of each other. 50 indexes sounds so much that I would guess there's a lot of indexes that have (almost) the same fields in different order. When dealing with composite indexes, remember also that there can be statements that only use one or more of the leading columns of an index, and that's why not all statements can use the other index even if it has the exact same columns but in different order.
You can of course drop everything, but depending on what environment this actually is and how many rows there are in the table, it could cause quite a bad situation due to locking, blocking and deadlocks.

Chocolate covered mac nuts! Kona coffee! Did I get your attention? They're popular products that complete any trip to Hawaii and remind visitors of our island gems in the middle of the Pacific.
Chocolate covered macadamia nuts. 'Nuff said!
That's why a local committee is putting together about 9,500 boxes of goodies for international dignitaries attending the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in Honolulu. They'll be able to bring a little bit of Hawaii back home with them and share the tastes, sounds, and scents of the Aloha spirit. Mac nuts, coffee, body lotions, a CD by Braddah IZ and more have been packed away for government officials, including President Barack Obama.
Giving makana (gifts) has been a long-time Hawaiian tradition. It's a way for the hosts to connect with their visitors. In ancient times, a gift didn't have to be something tangible; it came in all forms, such as an oli (chant), prized possession or rare item. It had even more meaning if the person made the gift especially with the guest in mind.
Many other countries practice this cultural exchange, and it's interesting to compare gift giving as done by the Hawaiians and the Maoris. The Hawaiians would hand gifts to the visitors, whereas the Maoris placed gifts on the ground in front of the visitor. A friend of mine, who teaches Hawaiian culture, said that the Maoris started doing this long ago after a gift was given, then taken away. This started a tribal war within the country; so now when the gift is placed on the ground, it means they truly want to give it away. Hawaiians would never put something on the ground because, plain and simple, the ground was dirty. To place a sacred item on the ground would make the gift haumia (filthy; spiritually contaminated).
I'm glad that Hawaii is keeping with tradition and sharing our island culture with the APEC big-wigs. Well-known local companies contributed, including Hawaiian Host Chocolates, designer Tory Richard and the Honolulu Cookie Company. The only thing that could make it more authentic, and from the people, would've been to include a couple of the smaller businesses. They could have gotten some valuable exposure alongside other Hawaiian staples and the chance to become one themselves. I'm unsure as to why they weren't included, other than their possible inability to produce 9,500 handmade lauhala bags (for instance). Either way, APEC is at least bringing much more potential customers to Hawaii's economy, and in the end, the whole state will get its chance to share the Aloha spirit.
