Vice Chancellor pay dispute
University of Bath Vice-Chancellor Glynis Breakwell 'not to blame' for her 'extraordinary' pay
Andrew Murrison, Conservative MP for South West Wiltshire, has spoken up for Dame Breakwell in Parliament
Amanda Cameron-bathSenior reporter
An MP has come to the defence of University of Bath Vice-Chancellor Professor Dame Glynis Breakwell
A former minister who quit his role at the University of Bath over the vice-chancellor's "eye-watering" pay has said he does not blame Professor Dame Glynis Breakwell for how much she is remunerated.
Andrew Murrison, Conservative MP for South West Wiltshire, resigned from the ex-officio governance role after it was revealed that Dame Glynis's £451,000 salary made her the highest paid vice-chancellor in the country.
But in a parliamentary debate on Wednesday (October 11), Dr Murrison praised the vice-chancellor's achievements and blamed "the system" for her "extraordinarily generous remuneration package".
"Dame Glynis Breakwell has done a grand job, over many years, and the University of Bath is a fine institution," he told the House of Commons.

"Dame Glynis deserves warm thanks and praise for all the hard work she has put in.
"I do not blame her for her extraordinarily generous remuneration package; I do blame the system that has allowed it."

Court 'votes out' VC
Earlier in the year it was revealed that Dame Glynis sits on the remuneration committee that voted to award her an 11 per cent pay rise in 2015-16.
A motion raising concerns about the transparency and accountability of the committee was defeated at a February meeting of the University of Bath Court, a statutory body which represents the university's affairs.
Dr Murrison, who requested the debate over university vice-chancellors' pay, was the first of four MPs to resign from the court over summer.

"Remuneration committees are, to put it mildly, opaque," he said during the debate.
"Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the public getting to see what is going on often acts as a restraint on as pay and benefits."
Dr Murrison said he looked forward to how a new higher education regulator, to be set up next year, might be used to increase transparency about remuneration.
LETTER: Those at the top get massive payouts no matter what
Introduced under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, the Office for Students will replace the Higher Education Funding Council, which is investigating how the University of Bath is governed.
Joseph Johnson, the Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, said the office will "ensure more transparency for students so that they can have greater confidence that their money is being well spent".
Dr Murrison said there appeared to be an "inverse correlation" between VC pay and university performance [pictured: University of Bath]
"I want to see the relentless upwards ratchet in senior staff pay come to a halt," he told the House, "and I am confident that the measures the Government have put forward through the OfS will achieve that.
"Exceptional pay can only be justified by exceptional performance."
Dr Murrison noted during the debate that he saw no correlation between vice-chancellor pay rises and university performance improvement when he studied the Complete University Guide set of metrics.
University of Bath named country's best for sports with The Times Good University Guide 2018 award win
"Indeed, there is some suggestion that there is an inverse correlation," he said.
Bath's MP Wera Hobhouse, who became a member of the university court automatically on her election to parliament, said the failure of the court to raise concerns about the transparency and accountability of the remuneration committee "raises grave concerns about the governance of our universities".

Q: How can I make go get work with a repo on a local server I've got a git repo on a local server.  I can clone from it with git clone user@10.xxx.yyy.zzz:/srv/git/liqid.git where the user has ssh access and read/write to the git/ directory.
When I try to use it with go get -v user@10.xxx.yyy.zzz:/srv/git/liqid.git it gives
go: cannot use path@version syntax in GOPATH mode
I've tried various other combinations like leaving out the :, but they all fail.
Can go get work with a repo on a local server?

A: Here's what I've learned about using go get for packages and modules when the git repo is on a private server.  I hope it helps someone else to have all the steps documented in one place.
Using Packages And Modules With git Repositories on Private Servers
Here are all the steps needed to use Go packages and modules with git repositories on private servers.  These are servers with IP addresses such as 10.xxx.yyy.zzz or 192.168.xxx.yyy.  No github or gitlab is assumed to exist on these servers so there is no web server running on port 80, which is the assumption that go get is based on.  Your private server only needs to have sshd running.
Install the latest version of Go and be sure the GOPATH is set.  The first element in your GOPATH is where the code from these examples will be downloaded to.
You'll need another computer on your network where you will create git repositories.  This will be your private git server.
If you want to skip all of the setup steps and example code you can check the two Key Differences sections that list the differences when using packages or modules with a private server instead of a public git repository.
The source code
Put dateutil.go and stringutil.go in the directory structures shown below for both packages and modules.
dateutil.go:
package datepackage

import "time"

func GetTime() time.Time {
    return time.Now().Local()
}

stringutil.go:
package stringpackage

import "strings"

func ToUpperCase(s string) string {

    return strings.ToUpper(s)
}

main.go (put main.go somewhere outside of the directory structure shown below):
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-dateutil/datepackage"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-stringutil/stringpackage"
)

func main() {

    fmt.Println("github:  " + stringpackage.ToUpperCase("test"))
    fmt.Println("github:  " + datepackage.GetTime().String())
}

These files can be found on github.com
git@github.com:dwschulze/go-package-test-dateutil.git

git@github.com:dwschulze/go-package-test-stringutil.git

git@github.com:dwschulze/go-module-package-test-drivers.git

Create Packages Using the GOPATH Convention
Create a directory structure like this outside of your GOPATH and add the files above.  This follows the GOPATH convention, but you don't need these files in you GOPATH.
package
├── github
│   ├── dateutil
│   │   └── src
│   │       └── datepackage
│   │           └── dateutil.go
│   └── stringutil
│       └── src
│           └── stringpackage
│               └── stringutil.go
└── your-local-git-repo-hostname
    ├── dateutil
    │   └── src
    │       └── datepackage
    │           └── dateutil.go
    └── stringutil
        └── src
            └── stringpackage
                └── stringutil.go

your-local-git-repo-hostname is the hostname or IP address of your private git server where you'll create git repos (not the machine where you currently have this code).  There is an undocumented requirement that the hostname for the go get command have a . in it.  If the hostname of your private git server doesn't have a . in it then use its IP address.  Add ssh key access to your private git server with ssh-copy-id.
Using a Private repo on github
We'll start with the simplest case, using packages from github.com.  You'll need a github account with ssh key access setup.
Create git repos in the two src/ directories under github/ that you created above using git init
package
├── github
│   ├── dateutil
│   │   └── src
│   │       └── ...
│   └── stringutil
│       └── src
|           └── ...

Add and commit the datepackage/ and stringpackage/ dirs respectively to your git repos.
Create two private github repos named go-package-test-dateutil and go-package-test-stringutil in your account on github.com.  Follow the instructions to set the remotes in your local git repos in your src/ directories to their respective github repositories.  Push the code.
Since your repos are private you'll have to use ssh public key access to download the code.  Since go get uses https by default you'll need to add this to your ~/.gitconfig file:
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Run these commands to put the code you just pushed to github.com into your GOPATH:
go get github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-stringutil/stringpackage/

go get github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-dateutil/datepackage/

The packages get downloaded into the pkg/ and src/ directories of the first element in your GOPATH.
In the directory with the main.go file you created above type go run main.go and the results will be printed to the console.
Create Git Repositories on Your Private Server
Now you'll create git repos on your private git server.  To keep this simple you'll just use git init --bare.  There's no need to install github or gitlab.  On your private git server you'll need to have sshd running and have ssh key access from the machine where your code is.  The new repos will be in /home/myusername/gitrepo.
git init /home/myusername/gitrepo/go-package-test-dateutil --bare

git init /home/myusername/gitrepo/go-package-test-stringutil --bare

The go get command has an undocumented requirement that the hostname have a . in it.  If the hostname of your private git server doesn't have a . in it then use its IP address, which is what I'll do throughout the rest of this example.  Assume the machine's IP address is 192.168.0.12
Copy the dateutil.go and stringutil.go files that you created earlier into the directories under your-local-git-repo-hostname:
package
├── github
|   ...
└── your-local-git-repo-hostname
    ├── dateutil
    │   └── src
    │       └── datepackage
    │           └── dateutil.go
    └── stringutil
        └── src
            └── stringpackage
                └── stringutil.go

In the two src/ directories create local git repos as you did before and add and commit the code.  Set the remotes to the git repo that you created on your private git server
git remote add origin myusername@your-local-git-repo-hostname:gitrepo/go-package-test-dateutil

git remote add origin myusername@your-local-git-repo-hostname:gitrepo/go-package-test-stringutil

You'll need another entry in ~/.gitconfig for your private git server:
git config --global url."myusername@your-local-git-repo-hostname:".insteadOf "https://192.168.0.12/"

Now push the code.  Note that this code is not yet in your GOPATH.
Use go get to retrieve the code from your private git server.  It's necessary to add a ".git" suffix to the directory name where you created the git repos with git init --bare on your private git server.  That tells go get that this is a git repository rather than some other version control system.
go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-package-test-stringutil.git/stringpackage

go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-package-test-dateutil.git/datepackage

The packages get downloaded into the pkg/ and src/ directories of the first element in your GOPATH.
└── src
    ├── 192.168.0.12
    │   └── gitrepo
    │       ├── go-module-test-dateutil.git
    │       │   ├── dateutil.go
    │       │   └── go.mod
    │       ├── go-package-test-dateutil.git
    │       │   └── datepackage
    │       │       └── dateutil.go
    │       └── go-package-test-stringutil.git
    │           └── stringpackage
    │               └── stringutil.go

In your main.go code add two import statements to the packages on your private git server
package main

import (
    dpkg "192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-package-test-dateutil.git/datepackage"
    strpkg "192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-package-test-stringutil.git/stringpackage"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-dateutil/datepackage"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-package-test-stringutil/stringpackage"
)

func main() {

    fmt.Println("github:  " + stringpackage.ToUpperCase("test"))
    fmt.Println("github:  " + datepackage.GetTime().String())
    fmt.Println("local:  " + strpkg.ToUpperCase("test"))
    fmt.Println("local:  " + dpkg.GetTime().String())
}

Note the use of the aliases dpkg and strpkg in the two new import statements because the import statements have duplicate package names (the last element in the import statement).
Now you can run the code with go run main.go.
Key differences between using a private repo on guthub.com and a repo on a private git server:

*

*Modifying ~/.gitconfig

*Adding the .git suffix in go get statements

*The hostname in go get and  import statements must have a dot in it

Creating Modules Using Private Repositories
Create a directory structure like this parallel to the packages/ directory you created above.  Copy the dateutil.go and stringutil.go files from above.  Change the package statements to datemod and stringmod respectively.  You'll create the go.mod files later.
module
├── github
│   ├── datemodule
│   │   ├── dateutil.go
│   │   └── go.mod
│   └── stringmodule
│       ├── go.mod
│       └── stringutil.go
└── 192.168.0.12
    ├── datemodule
    │   ├── dateutil.go
    │   └── go.mod
    └── stringmodule
        ├── go.mod
        └── stringutil.go

Note that the directory names are different from the package names.  Packages don't have to follow directory names.
Generate the go.mod files by executing the following commands in these directories:
In github/datemodule/
go mod init github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod

In github/stringmodule/
go mod init github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-stringutilmod

In 192.168.0.12/datemodule/
go mod init 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git

In 192.168.0.12/stringmodule/
go mod init 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil.git

In the four datemodule/ and stringmodule/ directories above create a git repo with git init and add and commit the files.
Create two private repos on github.com named go-module-test-dateutilmod and go-module-test-stringutilmod.  Follow the instructions to set the remotes in your respective local git repos under the github/ directory.  Push the code.
On your private git server create two git repos with
git init /home/myusername/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil --bare

git init /home/myusername/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil --bare

Set the remotes in the respective git repos under 192.168.0.12/ directory with
git remote add origin myusername@192.168.0.12:gitrepo/go-package-test-dateutil

git remote add origin myusername@192.168.0.12:gitrepo/go-package-test-stringutil

Push the code.
Now you have four different modules, two each in repositories in your github.com account and your private git server.
In another directory create a main.go program to use these modules:
package main

import (
    datemodlocal "192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git"
    stringmodlocal "192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil.git"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod"
    "github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-stringutilmod"
)

func main() {

    fmt.Println("github:  " + stringmod.ToUpperCase("test"))
    fmt.Println("github:  " + datemod.GetTime().String())
    fmt.Println("local:  " + stringmodlocal.ToUpperCase("test"))
    fmt.Println("local:  " + datemodlocal.GetTime().String())
    fmt.Println("local toString:  " + datemodlocal.GetTimeStr())
}

To use modules with private repos we have to set GOPRIVATE
go env -w GOPRIVATE=192.168.0.12/gitrepo/*,github.com/your-github-username/*

When GOPRIVATE is set modules will be pulled directly from the specified git repos instead of the Go public proxy.
Now run
$ go mod init module-driver
  go: creating new go.mod: module module-driver
$ cat go.mod
  module module-driver

  go 1.15

Now execute main.go.  It will download the modules from github.com and your private git server before running the code:
$ go run main.go
go: finding module for package github.com/dwschulze/go-module-test-dateutilmod
go: finding module for package github.com/dwschulze/go-module-test-stringutilmod
go: finding module for package 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil.git

local GetTimeStr3:  2020-12-08 07:57:02.96925053 -0700 MST  (dev2 branch)

You didn't have to run go get to download these modules before running the code.  The go.mod was also modified
$ cat go.mod
module module-driver

go 1.15

require (
    192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git v0.0.3 // indirect
    192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil.git v0.0.1 // indirect
    github.com/dwschulze/go-module-test-dateutilmod v0.0.1 // indirect
    github.com/dwschulze/go-module-test-stringutilmod v0.0.1 // indirect
)

You can download your modules with go get to test that your environment is set up correctly:
go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git
go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-stringutil.git
go get github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod
go get github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-stringutilmod

Again note the use of the .git suffix on the repository path for your private git server.  Without this go get will use https instead of git (which would use ssh).
Running go get modifies the go.mod file.  While some people say you can manually modify the go.mod file others say that you should not edit go.mod manually and instead use go get to make any modifications.
Downloading the module code either with go get or go run main.go downloads the code into $GOPATH/pkg/mod.  Since no version was specified it will pull the latest semantic version tag for that module.
Semantic versioning is done with tags which are just a commit.  Tags are independent of branches so if the latest semver was done on a branch other than master it will pull that version.
To specify a specific version use
go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git@v0.0.1

This will update the entry in go.mod if one already exists
You should be able to delete $GOPATH/pkg/mod/ directory and do go run main.go again.  You'll see Go downloading the needed modules before running the code.
Key Differences When Using Modules From a Private Repository

*

*Modifying ~/.gitconfig

*Adding the .git suffix for the repos on your private server

*The hostname of your private server must have a dot in it, or use its IP address

*Set GOPRIVATE with go env -w GOPRIVATE=...
Using code on a different branch
Semantic version tags are independent of branches, but there is one case where go get can use a branch.  If you want to go get the latest commit from a branch you can append @branchname like this:
go get 192.168.0.12/gitrepo/go-module-test-dateutil.git@branchname

If the latest commit on the branch does not have a semver tag go get will create a pseudo-version using the next semver tag number and a timestammp and hash.
FAQs
What does a 410 Gone error mean when downloading a module?
go get github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod
go: downloading github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod v0.0.1
go get github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod: github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod@v0.0.1: verifying module: github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod@v0.0.1: reading https://sum.golang.org/lookup/github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod@v0.0.1: 410 Gone
    server response: not found: github.com/your-github-username/go-module-test-dateutilmod@v0.0.1: invalid version: unknown revision v0.0.1

This can happen if you don't have GOPRIVATE set.  Go tries to retrieve your (private) modules from the Go public proxy, but it can't find them there.

Discover Resident Evil Village passwords, padlocks and treasures
IT Tricks Random
May 31, 2021 electrodealpro
#Discover #Resident #Evil #Village #passwords #padlocks #treasures
The gameplay of Resident Evil Village is complex and full of hidden elements to be deciphered and challenges to be overcome. The objective of this guide is to facilitate immersion, unveiling elements that block definitive situations for a more fluid and enjoyable gameplay. If you are curious, keep reading the article so as not to be trapped in situations that, in fact, need 'almost nothing' to be unlocked, although not everything will be unveiled – the game is yours!
Padlocks, doors, lockers and their passwords
Overcoming puzzle challenges, discovering passwords and finding treasures from the Resident Evil Village to find ways and ways out of terror situations, in which the gamer will be confronted, requires a lot of cunning and observation. But in immersion, taken by fear and terror, attention will not always be in full shape – this guide will counteract fear.
Password 070408: used to open the lock found in the village workshop. You are faced with a pistol and a crank. Discover the combination of numbers, mentioned in a note, found there, looking out the window.
Password 052911: at the Beneviento house, it is the combination that unlocks the tap to wash the ring found on the doll's left hand.
Password 270917: it serves an optional purpose, which allows you to enter the Luthier's house and search the closet.
The maps do not hide the treasures, on the contrary, they are easily found in the exploration of the path taken.
Chalice of Cesare: it is called Luiza's relic found in a chest that actually has two important elements in the play – a necklace stone and a key to unlock another chest, where Cesare's Chalice is. Pay attention, the first chest will appear during the exploration of the village, in front of Luiza's house. The stone and the chalice have a great exchange value in Law (money)!
Treasure Chalice of Berengeário: you must take Laje da Lápide, in the cemetery crypt, on the map, it is located in front of the castle. Watch out, the treasure disappears after dealing with Moreau. Take the gravestone to open the house Beneviento and with an ax, fight and defeat the enemy to receive the reward – the Chalice of Berengeário. It can be sold for a good price.
GM 79 Grenade Launcher Treasure: continuing, after the confrontation with Lord Moreau and, with the iron badge key in hand, you will have access to one of the houses in the village – in the west of the map, it is the locked door of a house. There you will get a grenade launcher that, in addition to being a useful weapon, is also worth many Laws.
Treasure Weapon M1851 Wolfsbane Magnum: do you remember the crank in the workshop? Well, access to Moreau's lab unlocks with it and that's where you find the Magnum weapon, which kills werewolves.
Golden Lady Treasure Statue: to get this treasure, it is best to consult the path and moves in the Resident Evil Village puzzle solving tip.
Father Nichola's Angel Treasure: he will be at Moinho de Otto, where you will have to confront the mini-boss (sub-boss) with hammer. Winning, enter the mill to find the chest. The golden angel is also worth many laws.
Maestro's Treasure Collection: in the Beneviento gardener's house, Luthier's key will be found, opening the house with a chimney. Inside, there is a padlock locking the doors of a closet, which contains the Maestro Collection (east of the city). In addition to the collection being worth a good price (Laws), it has the Steel Hraesvelgr object (steel bird) that has the ability to optimize the Rifle's ammunition.
Guglielmo's Treasure Board: when passing through the Fortress, note the details, to find 4 bottles. That done, in the next room, you will see the sign waiting for you.

Fort HealthCare Receives an "A" for Patient Safety in Spring 2018 National Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade
The Leapfrog Group, a Washington D.C.-based organization aiming to improve healthcare quality and safety for consumers and purchasers, released the new Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades. Fort HealthCare was one of 750 awarded an "A" for its efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S. The Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to hospitals across the county based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections, and other harms among patients in their care.
Mike Wallace, Fort HealthCare President and CEO, states "Our employees work diligently to control the quality and safety at Fort Memorial Hospital and this 'A' rating is indicative of that. Fort HealthCare continues to be progressive at all levels when it comes to patient care. It is an honor to continue to receive 'A' ratings from The Leapfrog Group."
Hospitals that earn top marks nationally in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade have achieved the highest safety standards in the country. Leah Binder, Leapfrog Group President and CEO, says, "This is the only national rating of how well hospitals protect patients from preventable harm and death, such as medical errors, infections, and injuries."
Binder continues, "Receiving an 'A' Safety Grade means a hospital is among the best in the country for preventing these terrible problems and putting their patients first, 24 hours a day."
Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to approximately 2,500 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
To see Fort Memorial Hospital's full grade details, and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit hospitalsafetygrade.org and follow the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade on Twitter and Facebook. Fort HealthCare also provides a link to this – and other – organizations' websites that report transparency in quality and safety measures.
Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently reports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog's other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.

Tragically Hip Way proposed
A portion of Barrack Street could soon be Tragically Hip Way.
Councillor Brian Reitzel motioned to rename the street between King and Ontario Streets at Tuesday night's City Council meeting. The initiative is an effort to honour Kingston band The Tragically Hip in a civic manner.
City staff will investigate the feasibility of renaming the street and report back to council on Jan. 17, 2012, at which point Council will make a decision.
During Council, the motion was amended by Councillor Bill Glover to give city staff the options of naming a different public location after the band or using an honourary name.
Adding an honourary name to Barrack Street wouldn't change the name permanently but would simply place the name above the street sign in the same manner as a district.
Mayor Mark Gerretsen and Councillor Reitzel voted against this amendment.
"With an honourary name we're not achieving the most attractive part of this … we need to make them a permanent part of the community," Gerretsen said to Council on Tuesday.

Six arrested in local marijuana busts
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police spearheaded a nine-month investigation, alongside Ontario Provincial Police, Kingston Police and the Canada Border Services Agency, to shut down a $1.7-million marijuana grow operation last weekend.
Following searches on areas including Collingwood, Mack and Montreal Streets, six people were arrested. Five were from Kingston. Vehicles, weapons, 144 kilograms of dried marijuana and 1,200 marijuana plants were seized.
On Oct. 16, the Kingston Whig Standard reported that those arrested were involved in an organized crime group, heavily involved in the production and trafficking of marijuana.

Listen to the latest episode of The Scramble: Sports and The Scramble ep. 1.


Retired Gen. Colin L. Powell gave a graduation-style speech to Worcester Technical High School students this week.
It wasn't graduation, though, but simply an annual gathering of the student body on a school day to hear thoughts and advice from someone who has found success.
That format, we hope, will help make the message stick.
A slow starter who did poorly in school, he found work he enjoyed and decided to give his best effort to it every day.
In his case, the subject that awakened that winning strategy was the Reserve Officer Training Corps, or ROTC, at the City College of New York. He had been in danger of getting kicked out there for bad grades, he said; instead, everything changed — slowly, day by day — when he decided to kick himself into gear. He began trying.
That he rose to become a four-star general, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then secretary of state are testaments to the power of that formula he found. It may sound trite, and it's something graduation speakers say a lot, but "Do your best every day" is probably the most powerful advice there is.
It's something everyone can do. It requires people to reach inside and discover what "their best" means to them. And it demands, as well as inspires, unflagging commitment.
We particularly like the "every day" part of the advice. It conveys that success isn't about luck so much as work. And there is no deadline to the command. Not only students but adults, wherever they are in their lives or careers, need to keep doing their best — every day.
Now, before graduation speech season arrives, is an excellent time for teachers, students, parents, administrators and all of us to slow down and listen at full attention to what the general had to say.

Who Brews As Two Rupees?
August 30, 2019, by Maddison Capuano
For Danny Perera and Amila Mendis, co-owners of Two Rupees Brewing Co, the grand opening of their tap room was a few years in the making. It was back in 2013 that the childhood friends first decided to have a crack at homebrewing, but their story stretches back even further, back to when – independently of each other – they moved to Melbourne from their home country of Sri Lanka, and were awed by the city's rich craft beer scene.
"I remember thinking, 'Wow, this is craft beer'," says Amila, who moved around the corner from Mountain Goat while working as a banker in 2010.
Danny's background, on the other hand, is in hospitality; indeed, his interest in craft beer was sparked while working as a cook at Little Creatures' former Brunswick Street outpost.
Curiosities piqued, the next step was for Danny and Amila to begin exploring Melbourne's many breweries, which snowballed into a decision to have a go at making their own beer.
Their new-found hobby soon outgrew their homes, and two years ago they decided to lease a warehouse space in Clayton to give them a little more room to move. Fast forward to July 2019, and they officially opened the space to the public.
"We just wanted to have a go at it," Danny says.
While their name, Two Rupees, pays homage to their Sri Lankan roots, their heritage also shines through in every keg. Their flagship witbier, for example, highlights classic Sri Lankan spices like cumin and coriander seeds, which proves to be a combination that adds real depth to this traditional Belgian-style ale.
Sri Lankan spices are just the tip of the experimental iceberg, though, and Danny and Amila are constantly thinking about how to incorporate ingredients from home into their beers. Sure, tropical fruits like pineapple and mango are fairly common in today's craft beer scene, but have you ever tried a beer infused with jackfruit? Or durian? Sri Lanka is a smorgasbord of incredible flavours, and everything is fair game at Two Rupees.
At time of writing, there were six beers on tap, including their flagship Wit and Brown Ale, with an IPA on track to be released in the coming weeks. While different in style and flavour, what each of their creations has in common is that they are designed to be sessionable. As such, they tend to be lower in alcohol, encouraging guests to relax and hang out for a while.
"That's our thing, that's the whole idea," says Amila, explaining that their hope is for Two Rupees to be a "true blue" local brewery made for beer lovers, by beer lovers.
To find out more about this new Melbourne brewery, we invited Danny and Amila to take part in our Who Brews…? series.
TWO RUPEES
Amila and I are originally from Sri Lanka and migrated here to Melbourne in 2004. I came as a student wanting to study Hospitality and Amila migrated with his family.
I went on to work in the hospitality industry in bars, clubs and cafés and Amila had a career previously in banking. We both loved beer and the homebrewing process is where our passion started.
Where do you brew?
We have opened a microbrewery in a Clayton industrial area near Monash University.
Why do you brew?
A passion stemming from home brewing and a love of all types of beer.
Was there a beer or a moment that set you on the path to becoming a brewer?
We were inspired by White Rabbit Brown Ale.
What beers have you released to date?
We currently have a Pilsner, Red Ale, Wit, Brown Ale, Lager and an Easy Ale.
Inside Two Rupees in Clayton, where they operate one of Spark's brewpub systems.
Where can people find your beers?
We're currently only kegging and in-house at the brewery at this stage, but we're hoping to start packaging and selling to local pubs in the near future.
What's the inspiration behind the brewery name?
Two Rupees is the Sri Lankan currency.
What beers are in your fridge right now?
IPAs and lagers / pilsners generally.
Where do you hope your brewery will be ten years from now?
We are hoping to expand and have the capacity to hold large functions, events and offer a unique all-round experience in brewing.
You can sample Two Rupees' beers for yourself in their unassuming brewery at 69 Renver Road, Clayton South. And, all being well, they'll be hosting food trucks and live music at the brewery on Friday evenings very soon.
You can find other entries in the Who Brews...? series here and hundreds of good beer spots across Australia, including Two Rupees, in the free Crafty Pint app.
About Maddison
A freelance writer and long-time fan of brewpubs, Maddison has benefited greatly from Melbourne's growing interest in sour beers. She can be found on Instagram but has yet to figure out how Twitter works.
The beer(s) or moment(s) that turned you on to good beer:
The limited edition coffee and vanilla bean porter at Twin Sails in Vancouver, Canada. By the time I went back to pick up a case, they'd sold out. I've been searching for a dark beer that can hold a candle to this one ever since.
You've got three beers to turn someone else onto good beer; what are they and why?
If I can get Twin Sails to acknowledge my weekly emails and brew another batch of their porter, that one for sure.
Additionally, Burnley Brewing's Mango IPA and Holgate's Hop Tart.

Thread: Hard weights for BP?
I dive in a local aquarium, and they ban shot weights. Potential risk of leakage, fish ingesting shots, etc. So I currently use a loaner weight belt and hard weights.
My query? Where can I find weights or molds to bolt on to the BP? I'm familiar with cam-band pockets, but with the hypersalinity and shallow depth, we're talking ~24lbs of lead. I'm currently looking at melting down my two rope weights, and using a wax/sand mold.
**edit** For clarification, wax form to shape the sand mold. And yes, the sand would be dry.

NO ADS!! NO ADS!! NO ADS!! NO ADS!! NO ADS!!! Welcome to the CHEERS board!! This board is for congrats banners/text. Please post all the congrats banners you'd like, but NO ads whatsoever.... This release has very short change log and does not address many of the problems pointed out in last post comments. I have managed to fix annoying SGB multi player games input problem though.
3) Scroll down to the "Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)" setting 4) Change the XMP setting to "Profile 1" (there may be multiple profiles, use the one that matches your RAM's stated frequency and... To those who have R4 DS Card, R4 SDHC, R4 Gold, M3i Zero, Acekard 2i, Supercard DSTWO and EZflash Vi, any problems you can find answers by contacting R4i-SDHC-DSi.CO.UK .
I currently own a DSTwo and love it. Installed tons of emulators and roms. SNES emulation isn't the best though. I've found SNEmulDS to be the best for speed … how to change google co in to google com Set up so you can just extract all of the files to the root of your MicroSD Card. Let everything be overwritten. Supercard DSTWO Official Evolution Operating System files.
Q:DSTWO can emulate GBA, Can it emulate other game console? A:Yes. Whit the powerful CPU, DSTWO can emulate a lot of game console. Such as SNES, NeoGeo etc.
Out of Stock. We will substitute with the NEWER and BETTER Supercard DSTwo Plus . The Supercard DSTwo - Now with full support for the latest Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS System Updated February 27th, 2017 with support for 11.3.0 for USA / Japan / European !
As we know that, dstwo plus card can play both ds and 3ds games in one card, it can also play gba games and nes games. in this review, i will just test using the supercard dstwo plus to play 3ds games with the gateway 3ds plug in.


Can someone just give me an A so I can go to bed already?
Today I did four loads of laundry, including folding them and putting them away. I did two loads of dishes. My kitchen is clean and I cooked a delicious dinner for my family. I watched a puppet show my daughter put on and then sat and talked Minecraft with my boy.
Where is my report card?
Who is going to say to me "way to go," "thank you" and "you're the best"?
I NEED a report card.
It's ridiculous. Don't you think I know that? Crazy even.
Don't care. I still want one.
I need someone, anyone, to tell me that I'm doing a good job. I need that passing grade as mother and homemaker.
Please, just give it to me.
Growing up, I was the teacher's pet (big surprise). I got straight A's. I was that kid that always raised her hand, was excited for tests, and loved homework. I was a regular Hermione Granger.
The older I got, the more I craved that approval. I would seek it out anyway I could. Please notice me teacher. Tell me I'm good. Tell me I'm smart. Tell me I am pleasing you.
Praise became necessary for me to move forward in my day. It didn't matter what I thought about what I did, only if I got the approval.
This didn't stop in college and continued even when I started working for a major newspaper. I would actually look forward to my reviews.
The funny thing is, I knew I was a good employee. I worked hard and showed up every day. But it wasn't enough to know it.
I needed to be told it. Better yet, I needed to see it in writing.
So I am asking you again…where is my report card? Where is my written affirmation that I am doing a good job?
Is there somebody who can provide me this service? Come to my house with your clipboard and follow me around. Give me a daily grade. Please?
I grade myself every day, but I'm not doing so well at that.
I am a very harsh, judgmental grader with very little empathy or patience.
Yes I did four loads of laundry, but you know what? One of those loads was put into the washer on Friday. FRIDAY! It sat in the washer all weekend so I had to rewash it.
Yes I cooked a great dinner for my family; it was tilapia with an almond crust, asparagus and rice pilaf. But my husband cooked the fish and he did it better than I would have.
Yes I watched my daughter's puppet show, but I was bored and spent most of the time praying for it to be over.
That's a C grade at best.
Yes I talked Minecraft with my boy, but this is after he has been asking for months to play the game and I finally relented. I'm as overprotective as they come and as we talked about it I felt sad instead of excited for him.
I wonder if someone else graded me if they would be more…forgiving. Maybe they would be more generous with their approval, because I am not.
Over the last few weeks I've read two books by SARK. If you haven't heard of her or seen any of her work, prepare yourself for something amazing. I'm in love with her and it got me thinking.
It's time I make myself a report card. Not a daily one, but one that I can hang up that says all the things that I need to hear. A reminder of my need for praise, but also recognition that self-praise is the most powerful of all.
I need to say these things to myself, because they are true.
Please, if you find yourself identifying with me, print this out or make your own. Hang it on your wall and read it every morning.
Let's be kinder to ourselves.
The pressure to be the best at everything is exhausting.
Maybe we can just be ourselves and know it's enough.

I'll give you an A for working at not pressuring yourself.
Thanks. I have no idea where I got the notion that I have to do everything to some standard of perfection that is impossible to maintain. Insanity is what that is! I'm taking baby steps out of this madness. Thanks for reading.
We're there with you. It's just hard to let go at times. If more of us were like you and tried to do everything right, the world would be such a well run machine. Stay strong and be well, SB.
It feels like this could've been written from my brain! I'm also a past straight "A" people pleaser, and I am always setting myself up for certain "standards" that seem ridiculous to maintain on a daily basis…. "but a 'perfect' mom could do it, so I should be able to!" It's a tough cycle to break.
I'm so glad you found Sark! She is awesome at teaching us how to validate ourselves. Your colorful exercise is a wonderful testament. Hang in there. It feels pretty amazing when you can give yourself the pat on your back.
Reblogged this on A Modern Ukrainian.
I am much older than you. My children are grown, but I am amazed at how much of what you write, I identify with. Thank you for expressing all the things I'm sure many of us feel.
I give you an A for being a mom and wife who cleans, cooks and plays with your children. You don't get the A for doing these things, you get the A+ for doing them, even though you may not always want to. Because you love them.
Also, I'm giving you an A right now as I'm typing.

Strong special teams and the lone shootout goal by Sam Reinhart lifted the Buffalo Sabres over the Minnesota Wild, 5-4, to sweep the season series on Tuesday night at KeyBank Center.
Buffalo started hot with an early first-period goal and then battled Minnesota in a back-and-forth game, giving up their one-goal lead with less than two minutes left in the third period.
Reinhart took a shot that trickled by Devan Dubnyk and rolled over the goal line.
Linus Ullmark made the final save on Zach Parise to seal the victory.
This win brings Buffalo to 1-1 in their seven-game homestand and was a great confidence booster, as Buffalo shuffled lines to shake things up and push hard for the playoffs.
The Wild dropped their third straight game and second in a row in overtime.
The line shuffling paid off early with a power play goal by Evan Rodrigues. The power play has been poor lately, just 1-3 last game, and 1-19 in the last 20. This is the first time in over a month Buffalo has had a power play goal in back-to-back games. Buffalo was perfect on the power play and on the penalty kill with Rasmus Dahlin adding a second-period power play goal and killing all three penalties.
C.J. Smith is continuing to show he fits on this Sabres roster, finding his second goal in just as many games on a great feed from Reinhart. A chippy third period saw Reinhart find a goal of his own on a great cross-ice feed from Jake McCabe after he kept it in the zone at the blue line.
Minnesota found success in tight with zone possession time and hard work around the crease. Jared Spurgeon netted his ninth and 10th goals of the season on tip-in and wraparound goals to keep things tight in the second period. Charlie Coyle buried a rebound late after a tipped shot from the point that made it through Ullmark. Parise then banked his off Ullmark's foot while Minnesota had Dubnyk pulled to send the game to overtime.
Dubnyk stopped 35 of 39 shots, allowing the Wild to stay in the game and make it to a shootout. Ullmark stopped 41 of 45 shots for Buffalo, including multiple open shots from in tight and a breakaway in overtime to keep Buffalo going.
Ullmark improves to 3-0-0 in his career against Minnesota and secures his 11th win of the season.
Wild captain, Mikko Koivu, collided with Tage Thompson in the 1st period and did not return to the game. Linus Ullmark left the ice quickly at the end of the game after a collision with Zach Parise while stopping his shootout attempt, but said he felt great in the locker room following the game.
Buffalo will continue their homestand Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, who are tied with Buffalo at 58 points in the Wild Card hunt. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY.


AUSTRALIANS still aspire to home ownership, but many think it is unachievable according to new research from the Housing Industry Association.
"Over 92 per cent of renters aspire to own their own home but less than half of them think they will achieve this dream," chief economist Tim Reardon said.
The research also showed that 75 per cent of respondents felt it was more difficult to purchase a home now than 10 years ago and 71 per cent believed governments had an important role to play in helping people achieve the Great Australian Dream of home ownership.
"Australians see that the government has a role to play in assisting first-home buyers address the biggest barrier to home ownership, which is the initial deposit," Mr Reardon said.
"The research also found that 71 per cent are concerned that those unable to achieve this goal will face financial challenges in retirement.


We facilitate access to Veterans Health Administration electronic medical data for clinical research.
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) maintains a central data repository with health information from the electronic medical records of over 9 million Veterans in the United States.
Data fields include (but are not limited to) age, gender, race, ethnicity, zip code, dates of outpatient and inpatient encounters, conditions, procedures, lab results, vital signs, medications, prescription refills, radiology reports, costs, vital status, location of care, and national provider identification number.
Data files from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including the Medicare Chronic Conditions Warehouse, are also available.
Access to these databases has substantially improved during the past several years, making it possible for both VA and non-VA investigators to use them for clinical research projects.
Provides consultation regarding available data.
Assists with identifying, extracting, and merging variables of interest.
Ensures that use of VHA data meets all regulatory requirements.
Facilitates necessary paperwork and approvals.
Helps UCSF investigators obtain VA appointments.
Please note that obtaining access to VA data may require up to 40 hours of your time over a period of 3 to 6 months prior to starting any data analysis.
Once access to the data is obtained, the VA data core can help you identify and extract data fields of interest (e.g., age, ICD-10 code, vital status). However, it will not provide data cleaning (e.g., eliminate illogical data), perform analyses (e.g., calculate average age of patients with diagnosis of interest) or run statistical models (e.g., evaluate association between lab value and mortality).


The composting process is an important one: it completes nature's cycle by returning green and organic wastes to the soil. However, most home gardeners cannot make compost of suitable quality or in sufficient volumes for their needs, especially when they have ornamentals as well as vegetables vying for its beneficial effects. So they find themselves in the garden centers each spring and fall, surveying the rows of bagged soil amendments.
Your spring and fall soil preparation will, to a large extent, determine your gardening success. Since it requires the same effort to till a garden with a poor soil as with a quality one, you are ahead in time, effort and money if you do it right. The astute gardener seeks to improve one very important gardening parameter, the level of organic matter or humus in the soil. The benefits of organic matter include permeability, water retention, optimum nutrient level, good seed germination, proper root development and disease suppression. Peat products will provide some of the required parameters, but only a high quality compost provides them all.
Professional, commercial-scale composters know that composting consists of a little science a little art, and strict discipline. The fundamental process is really quite simple. The combination of a carbon source, a nitrogen source and a supply of oxygen will allow those friendly little microbes to devour the raw materials. In the process, they create a humus material that plants adore.
The art of the process is in knowing how to provide the environment for the microbes to thrive. This includes when and how much to aerate the feedstock, when to add moisture, and when to add bulking agents. Since this is often site-specific and related to climate and other variables, it is a balancing act with a long learning curve.
Assuming that good quality raw materials are used, a good compost has been rendered when the resulting material is dark in color, has an earthy smell, and will not reheat when piled. And that is exactly what you get when you open a bag of Fern Hill Compost. You'll be glad you did and your plants will be delighted!

Schooling: Trapped in a web of special interests
Governments world-wide are struggling to solve the problem of deficiencies in their schooling systems. Politicians, teachers, educationists, administrators, employers, parents, politicians, policy analysts and students have differing ideas on how the problem should be solved. All agree that something is wrong. All have ideas on the kind of tinkering that is needed to fix the problem. The framework within which schooling functions is seldom or ever questioned; a framework that is little changed since schooling was nationalised in England in the late 19th and in the US in the early 20th centuries. - Friday 27 August 2010

My idea of a perfect vacation is different. For me, it's not food or sand or sun. I'm on an eternal search for that perfect dark sky where I can look up into an immense starry sky and remember (again) just how big and how old the universe is and how my problems really don't matter in the scheme of things. Looking out into that sky is a spiritual experience for me. I feel grounded, connected and thankful to just be there in that moment. And so, I read a lot about star-gazing destinations. I've focused primarily on West Coast and Southwest spots that are fairly easy drives or flights from my home in the San Francisco Bay Area. And, for those destinations where you have to fly +three hours to get there, I've filtered my suggested list down to only those destinations that offer a whole lot more beyond stargazing.
Cedar Breaks National Monument – In March of last year, this Utah star-gazing destination became the 16th designated International Dark Sky Park. Dress warm year-round because the Point Supreme Outlook is at a 10,350-foot altitude.
If the drive to that altitude doesn't sound like fun, you can also stick to the five National parks in southern Utah. Best bets would be Arches National Park and Canyonlands for stargazing.
Palm Springs Desert – Head up to Joshua Tree National Park (5,000 feet) to enjoy their annual Night Sky Festival in fall or the Rancho Mirage Observatory. Another good spot is the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, between Northern San Diego and Palm Springs. Come in Spring to see fleeting spring desert flowers and night-blooming lilies.
I've tried to do star-gazing in Hawaii but the weather never seems to want to cooperate. If you time it right, the best spots on Maui are the Haleakala Observatory or the Hyatt Regency's rooftop observatory.
I've heard I'd have better luck at the Mauna Kea Observatory over in Hilo, Hawaii because of its height (13,000 feet). I haven't made it up to the summit yet.
Travel+Leisure magazine tried to sell me on the idea of going kayaking at night at Acadia National Park. Maine is a leader in the dark sky movement. The waters are also home to bioluminescent microorganisms that produce a silvery-green glow when disturbed. My only hesitation is how much bug-spray I would have to put on to keep mosquitos at bay out on that lake. I'm delicious.
Idaho is another state focused on light pollution restrictions. They're creating the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, a 1,416 square mile area between Ketchum, Stanley Lake and Sun Valley, which would make it the third largest dark sky reserve in the world. This one is definitely on my list.
Another trip on my wish list is the Atacama Desert in Chile. Chile is such an amazing country with so many diverse things to see and do, but I'll likely carve out and save half of my trip there for the Atacama Desert where you can sleep under a star-studded sky that is so clear that the stars glow instead of twinkle.
The world's largest dark sky reserve can be found on Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest peak at 12,217 feet. Another destination on my list for a number of reasons beyond stargazing.
Remember to schedule your trip during a moonless night for best viewing.
Enjoy your next stargazing trip…make a wish for me!


In a recent paper, Armstrong and Stanley argue that despite being initially compelling, a Russellian account of singular thought has deep difficulties. I defend a certain sort of Russellian account of singular thought against their arguments. In the process, I spell out a notion of propositional constituency that is independently motivated and has many attractive features.
This paper presents a semantic and pragmatic theory of complex demonstratives. According to this theory, the semantic content of a complex demonstrative, in a context, is simply an object, and the semantic content of a sentence that contains a complex demonstrative, in a context, is a singular proposition. This theory is defended from various objections to direct reference theories of complex demonstratives, including King's objection from quantification into complex demonstratives.
This article is a critical notice of Bob Hale and Crispin Wright's *The Reason's Proper Study* (OUP). It focuses particularly on their attempts (crucial to their neo-logicist project) to say what a singular term is. I identify problems for their account but include some constructive suggestions about how it might be improved.
This paper contains two traditions of diagrammatic studies namely one, the Euler–Venn–Peirce diagram and the other, following tradition of Aristotle, the square of oppositions. We put together both the traditions to study representations of singular propositions, their negations and the inter relationship between the two. Along with classical negation we have incorporated negation of another kind viz. absence. We have also considered the changes that take place in the context of open universe.
This paper is a critical investigation of Gottlob Frege's and Bertrand Russell's views on the sense or meaning of singular terms. In his famous "On denoting" Russell erects his case on objections that he raises against Frege. I suggest that Russell's criticisms of Frege are seriously misguided, due in large measure to the uneven applications of his terminology when addressing Frege's views.
In this paper, we investigate the extent to which techniques used in , , and —developed to prove coloring theorems at successors of singular cardinals of uncountable cofinality—can be extended to cover the countable cofinality case.
Hitchcock (2001a) argues that the distinction between singular and general causation conflates the two distinctions 'actual causation vs. causal tendencies' and 'wide vs. narrow causation'. Based on a recent regularity account of causation I will show that Hitchcock's introduction of the two distinctions is an unnecessary multiplication of causal concepts.
This paper is about the Descriptivism/Singularism debate, which has loomed large in 20-century philosophy of language and mind. My aim is to defend Singularism by showing, first, that it is a better and more promising view than even the most sophisticated versions of Descriptivism, and second, that the recent objections to Singularism (based on a dismissal of the acquaintance constraint on singular thought) miss their target.
This is a paper in which I argue that problems of transworld identity and the truth in-truth at distinction are motivated by unhelpful pictures we have in mind while doing metaphysics.
Hume é conhecido por sua teoria da indução por repetição, mas em sua filosofia há lugar para inferências derivadas de experiências singulares. Parte do fundamento destas inferências depende de uma regra newtoniana, mas é preciso acrescentar a especificação do tipo de classe de objetos a que pertencem tanto a causa como o efeito – de um modo que pode esclarecer a exata natureza do "empirismo" humiano.

Q: How to overlay table elements after changing their size I'm working on a website that would allows users to post advertisements - they are displayed as a table of post-it notes on the board. I'm generating them using JSP's c:forEach tag (advertisements are stored in XML file) - every advertisement is a cell of a table. I added a functionality that allows to see full content of the advertisement after clicking on it (I also change the size of advertisement's div). And here is my question - I would like the bigger versions of advertisements (after clicking on them) to overlap with other advertisements located nearby, instead of moving them along. Is something like that even possible?
PS: Sorry for my English, I hope you understand what I want to achieve.

Or maybe I will change my question - I would like to display full version of the advertisement in new window, but I don't know how to forward a whole bean to the JSP page (the one which I want to open in new window). I will be very grateful for any advice.

A: Yes, you can have a different css class for an expanded view, then put a div within the table cell, and when the advertisement is displayed, you can set "overflow: visible" for the td to see its contents in full size.

Climate change is the biggest threat facing my children, that's why I'm taking action
Home > Climate change is the biggest threat facing my children, that's why I'm taking action
Elizabeth Cripps is a climate justice researcher at the University of Edinburgh, a mother of two, and co-organiser of Edinburgh Mothers Rise Up. On Saturday 31st August, they will unfurl a banner demanding climate action outside St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh.
On Saturday I'll be on Edinburgh's Royal Mile with dozens of other parents to demand climate justice for our children. This is why.
Climate change is the biggest threat facing our children. According to the world's best climate scientists, we have just 11 years left to stave off a future of disease, extreme weather, and food and water shortages.
As a researcher, I know what to call this: an unprecedented intergenerational injustice. As a mum, I'm terrified. I hold my little girls and wonder what the world will be like when they reach my age. Will they have enough to eat and drink? Will they face malaria or war? Will they get to enjoy this incredible experience they are giving me – of being a parent – or will they be too scarred by environmental devastation to have any children of their own? What will all this do to their mental health?
These aren't the kinds of questions I want to be asking. I wish I could stick to worrying about whether my kids eat enough vegetables or how many episodes of Paw Patrol is too many. Unfortunately, I don't have any choice.
What about our children's future?
The Amazon is burning. The same governments who declare this an international crisis continue to subsidise fossil fuels. Reallocating just 10-30 per cent of that $372bn (£303bn) could kickstart a clean energy transition, according to a new report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development. In Scotland, the government has declared a climate emergency but continues to support drilling for North Sea oil. Young women in the BirthStrike movement are so alarmed by the ecological crisis that they won't have any kids of their own.
Parents love their children. We want the best for them. More than that: we owe it to keep them safe, to bring them up with a good chance of a good life. So we feed them, shelter them and teach them how to care for themselves. We educate them. We help them to be kind. We know that we'll have to turn them out into the grown-up world all too soon, and we want them to be ready. That's a lot. But right now, it isn't enough. If we want to protect our kids, we have to be activists too.
Young people are leading the way
Teenagers have shown us the way with the Fridays For Future movement. Over the past year, they have shown maturity, courage, and a set of priorities their elders would do well to learn from. They have responded to entrenched injustice with persistent, peaceful demands for action, grounded in the most reliable science available. They appreciate, as we should, that the threat is real for all children but worst for those in the more vulnerable parts of the world that have done least to cause climate change. Sixteen year-old Greta Thunberg has taken world leaders to task, and stayed focused in the face of a torrent of abuse.
These children shouldn't have to do this. They shouldn't have to miss out on their education to fight for a planet worth living in. If politicians had done their jobs, if my generation and my parents' generation had acted when scientists sounded the first siren on climate change, they wouldn't need to. The first IPCC report came out in 1990, years before these inspiring young people were even born. As parents, the least we can do now is show them that we have their back.
The Holyrood government proposes a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, Westminster by 2050. Environmental NGOs, drawing on the science, say this is too late. The UK Government's own advisors, the Committee on Climate Change, say it's not doing enough to meet even these targets.
Together we must act now
Most school strikers are too young to vote. In Edinburgh they've just had their political voice cut further by being granted only one authorised absence a year for climate protests. My own daughters are too young even to go out and strike on their own. By the time they are teenagers, it may be too late. But as parents – as citizens, as voters, as consumers – we already have a powerful voice. We can and should use it.
A global climate strike is planned for 20-27 September. Youth activists are asking adults to stand up for future generations and demand a just transition to a sustainable world. The Mothers Rise Up banner is touring UK cities in the 11 weeks running up to the strike, symbolising the 11 years left to avert dangerous climate change. We'll be in Edinburgh on Saturday with a clear message from parents to governments: For the love of our children, act now.
The Edinburgh Mothers Rise Up Banner Event is outside St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile at 12 noon on Saturday 31 August. View the Facebook event

It's a beautiful morning in Idaho Falls!
I snapped this on my iphone as I was passing by on my snowboard!
I'm seriously crushing on the Southwest right now. The desert is a really mysterious and captivating place. I can't wait to get back!
I had a spectacular 4th of July at the Oregon Coast. Spent some great time alone exploring and doing whatever I wanted, its amazing to me how much more creative I am and how many opportunities the universe reveals when I'm not on someone else's schedule or worried about what others are doing. For days prior I had been concerned where I was going to spend my 4th and with whom, finally midday on the 4th I knew I had to make my own plan or I wasn't going to have a 4th as I was out of town hotel living for work. The coast was calling so I took off fully committed to going wherever my two feet took me. It's such a liberating feeling to know that wherever you go is where you're supposed to be and I learned a valuable lesson this Independence Day about being free to do my own thing and still trusting the universe has a great plan for me. Once I stumbled on to this scene in Oceanside Oregon I was very grateful that I had followed my feet and that the the plans I had worried about making all week were unfolding in front of me, all I had to do was show up. So many little life lessons revealed to me on this beach. Forever grateful!! .
Caught a beautiful sunrise on the way to fishing. I'm sure lucky to live in Idaho!
Exploring new area and capturing moments like this are what put me in my happy place! What are you doing to be in your happy place? This was a hike my mom and I did this Fall, tons of fun!
