Home › Uncategorized › Wake up.
I went for a walk around my neighbourhood this morning. It used to be a ritual for me but it's been a really long time! I decided to leave the earbuds at home and listen to the sounds of the waking morning.
Beauty was abundant and everywhere.
It was in the scarlet cardinal that greeted me on the path, in the sweeping willow's lime-green branches that radiated in the sun, in the forsythia wreaths that happily hung on my neighbours' front doors and in the soprano songbirds that brought it all to life with music.
Just like the earth, I felt like I was thawing and waking up after a stiff, long winter.
The truth is, I haven't felt 'awake' in a long time. At the top of the year, I started a new job and I've been on overdrive building, building, building multi-year plans while juggling other priorities independently as I create structure in my new department. I thought the pace would differ from my last job, but it hasn't. Maybe it's me. I come home at night tired and after spending time with my family and putting the kids to bed, I've been flopping on the coach and binge-watching Nashville Season 4 (I'm a little late to the party) with a bowl of pretzels and hummus.
But on this Easter Monday morning, I've realized that it's time for me to wake up. To make some small-but-mighty changes to live my life a little more consciously. To be kinder to myself – body, mind and soul – and feed it with the rich nutrients it needs to live my life with more compassion, grace and purpose.
So what about you? Are you living an awakened life? Do you feel conscious and focused on what you value most? Or are there boulders on the path that are darkening your light? What small-but-mighty changes could help you roll away those stones?
Mother Nature's a pretty smart cookie. Let's synchronize with Her to wake up to this fresh new day.
If you need a little more inspiration, here's one of my favourite songs about becoming Wide Awake.

INTRINSIC DIVINE FEMININE POWER IS COURSING THROUGH YOUR VEINS.
NOW is the time for women to acknowledge our divinity, understand our values and quiet our minds. Now is the time for us to set intentions, heal our mother wounds and assemble a vibrant, vivacious sisterhood.
By overcoming fear, taking action, receiving divine gifts and having faith, women can learn to truly love and accept themselves, celebrate, feel good and give back. Now is the time for us to rise out of man-made and self-imposed boxes and unleash what has always been ours, what is coming to life now, what is awakening and finding voice and cause and presence within our world. Because it's our birthright. It's what we were put on this earth to be. And it's about time we fully owned it, Sistas.


Microsoft remains ensconced on the top of the list of brands impersonated by phishers in North America, Vade Secure has revealed.
The company compiles a list of the top 25 "phishers' favorites" each quarter by tallying the number of new phishing URLs they detect.
In Q3 2018, Microsoft and PayPal have retained the two top places, and Netflix, Bank of America and Wells Fargo occupy the next three.
It's pretty obvious why Microsoft and PayPal are loved by phishers: the primary goal of Microsoft phishing attacks is to harvest Office 365 credentials.
"With a single set of credentials, hackers can gain access to a treasure trove of confidential files, data, and contacts stored in Office 365 apps. Moreover, hackers can use these compromised Office 365 accounts to launch additional attacks, including spear phishing, malware, and, increasingly, insider attacks targeting other users within the same organization," the company explains.
They also warn about a marked increase of phishing emails pretending that the recipient has received a link to a file on OneDrive or SharePoint, and has to sign in to access the file.
PayPal credentials give phishers immediate financial payback. Netflix accounts are valuable for the payment card info contained in it, and as goods to be sold on the dark web (although, sometimes, phishers are after much more than that).
Facebook has dropped from the top 5 (to the 6th place), while Chase has hopped over 11 entries and is now in 7th.
The company pointed out that, in terms of volume, cloud and financial services combined represent nearly three-quarters of all phishing URLs.
New entries on the list are Comcast, NBC, AmEx and CIBC, while ING, RBC, BT and Amazon have dropped from the top 25.
"Amazon's disappearence from the list likely has little to do with Amazon itself," Adrien Gendre, CEO of Vade Secure North America, told Help Net Security.
Microsoft phishing emails are predominantly delivered during the working week (Tuesdays and Thursdays are preferred).
Bank of America phishers cash in on weekends, when bank branches and customer service lines are closed.
Netflix phishers prefer Sundays, likely because many new seasons of shows are released often on Fridays, and users are looking forward to watching them during the weekend. An email warning about a supposedly blocked account when users just want to watch something and relax is likely to improve the success of the phishing attack.
Also: phishing is on the rise. The total number of new phishing URLs across the 86 brands Vade Secure tracked rose 20.4% in Q3. Worryingly, phishing attacks are also becoming more targeted.
"When we correlated the number of phishing URLs against the number of phishing emails blocked by our filter engine, we found that the number of emails sent per URL dropped more than 64% in Q3. This suggests that hackers are using each URL in fewer emails in order to avoid by reputation-based security defenses," the company noted.


The beautiful market town in Devon is a wonderful choice to see a music event for a number of reasons. The area attracts a rich variety of musicians and performers. It is one of the best places to see unique performances that would not necessarily play in cities.
Totnes is also home to some of the most intimate venues in the South West. Musicians have recognised this and often build their set atmosphere around these stages.
This awe-inspiring performance showcases the innovative sculptures created by Felix Thorn. The structures have been designed to emit unique audio and visual displays. These machines are capable of creating spectacular music. What is even more impressive is that they were all built by the artist himself. They are truly a sight to behold.
This troupe was created to commemorate the historic 1737 between Telemann and the most talented French musicians of the time: Forqueray, Guinon and Blavet. They amazed audiences of the time with their impeccable talents. Now a Dartington Summer School have formed a tribute act to recreate the iconic 18th century collaboration. The team have already reached world renowned success. They have played at Brighton Early Music Festival, London Baroque Festival and Early Music Live. Now they are coming to Totnes to share their classical tunes.
This drum-based composer is known for his live shows that integrate immersive imagery with booming acoustics. He often writes his music around a specific theme. In 2018 this theme is communication. Seb who is known for playing in such bands as Polar Bear and Acoustic Ladyland will be bringing an intimate show to the Dartington Hall Estate.


What do Pharaoh ants look like?
Pharaoh ants are pale red to yellowish brown with an unevenly rounded thorax. Their abdomens are darker and sometimes even black. Pharaoh ants grow to be 1/16th of an inch in length; queens grow to be about 1/8th of an inch in length. Their antenna is 12-segmented, and has a 3-segmented club on the end.
Pharaoh ants live in very large colonies that contain hundreds of thousands of workers and hundreds of reproductive females. Outside they tend to nest in shaded areas and underneath piles of organic debris.
Inside they like to nest in warm humid areas that are located near their food sources (sweets, oils, proteins, and dead insects). The workers will create scent trails so they can easily find their way back and forth between their nest and food. They can typically be found behind baseboards and wall voids, under floors, and in furniture. Pharaoh ants will use electrical wires and telephone cables as "roads" to travel through walls and between the floors of homes and other buildings.
If a Pharaoh ant colony is disturbed, the members of the colony will simply migrate to new locations and create new colonies through a process called budding. Budding only increases the amount of Pharaoh ants invading a home or business.
Pharaoh ants are a dangerous type of ant. They are known for carrying and transmitting a large variety of bacteria and diseases including salmonella and Streptococcus. Besides being a danger in homes and apartment complexes, Pharaoh ants can become a huge problem inside places that handle food including: hotels, grocery stores, and hospitals.
Inside hospitals they can become especially problematic when they enter wounds, IV bags, and sometimes the mouths of sleeping patients. Inside homes they will nest and hide in very hard to reach areas, will contaminate food sources, and will become a huge nuisance in general. They are also very difficult to get rid of.
Can Suburban help with a pharaoh ant problem?
Yes, Suburban can help to control and eliminate Pharaoh ants; in fact, getting professional help is the only true way to get rid of a Pharaoh ant infestation because they nest in such hard to reach areas of homes and businesses and because of their ability to bud.

Donald TrumpOpinionUS News
270 Or Not 270
The 2020 Electoral College Count remains in Question
In no fashion has Biden secured an electoral mandate. Essentially, the 2020 campaign outcome is a topsy turvy election reflecting many interesting voter patterns. American media have prematurely designated Biden as having won the presidency by granting him in excess of 270 Electoral Votes. At the end of the week four days after the national election, Biden has not officially been certified as the next president.
Has the touted Trump Train travelled off the rails? It certainly appears to be headed over the edge of no return, but political miracles are possible. President Donald J. Trump has vowed to fight to preserve his presidency. Ballots counted demonstrate that people who voted for Biden also voted to keep the Senate in the red column and actually added GOP seats in the House.
It may be only a matter of time until the Biden * Harris ticket is declared having won, but the USA has remained a divided nation for a solid score. Biden's legislative endeavors are going to run head-on into the cruel political reality of 2021. There is no Wuhan waiver he can seek from red communist China to stifle Senate Republicans from erecting road blocks to his impending policy initiatives.
The 2021 U.S. Supreme Court: ACB is on the Court
The Republican controlled U.S. Senate was able to forestall #44 from appointing a third Justice to the Supreme Court in 2016. This act to protect the U.S. Constitution from harm and the U.S. Bill of Rights from erosion granted President Trump an early opportunity to nominate as his first Justice Neil Gorsuch onto the Supreme Court in February 2017.
Trump's second Justice was the embattled nomination process of Brett Kavanaugh to secure a seat on the Supreme Court in July 2018. Trump has become the first President since Richard M. Nixon in 1971 to appoint more than two Justices onto the United States Supreme Court in a single term. Trump has also had a tremendous impact in filling federal lower court judge positions.
It was no surprise when RBG died in September 2020 providing a last-minute opportunity to President Trump to nominate a third Justice onto the Supreme Court: Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed just seven days prior to the election. The scuttlebutt is that #44 had a private lunch with RBG in 2013 asking her to resign. She said no preferring to remain on the court in increasingly failing health. Her stubbornness to resign was a costly partisan mistake.
President Donald J. Trump may have failed in his attempt to achieve reelection for a second term, but his legacy in placing three Justices onto the U.S. Supreme Court will exercise a far-reaching influence on future Supreme Court decisions for generations to come. Americans should all collectively thank RBG for allowing President Trump one final act to preserve Liberty.
The 2021 U.S. Senate: Do Not Pass Go
The Republican Party appears to be on track to retain control of the United States Senate. Biden is going to experience the same cold gavel as #44 did when he last served as Vice President for two terms. Biden is using words that convey unity and empowerment for a new direction and new agenda for America, but January 2021 will usher in a new ear of gridlock with a handicapped chief executive.
Presently, four U.S. Senate races in Alaska, North Carolina and two in Georgia have yet to be certified with a confirmed winner. The two Georgia Senate races are both moving ahead to run-off elections as candidates in Georgia must secure a margin that exceeds 50% of ballots cast in order to win. Both Senate elections are scheduled to occur on January 5, 2021.
Two senators from Maine and Vermont that are affiliated as Independent caucus with the democrats. The imminent balance of power in the U.S. Senate for 117th U.S. Congress in 2021 is projected to forecast Republicans with 51 seats and Democrats with 49 seats. This eventual outcome would implement speed bumps on any fast-tracking legislation the Biden * Harris administration may harbor once assuming office.
The 2021 U.S. House: Party Crashers
The Republican Party actually gained seats in the 117th Congress that commences on January 3, 2021. Not since 1992 has an incoming party lost House seats. As Vice President, Harris will have to squash the laundry list of House members who associate with the extreme left wing of the democrat party and dampen their forecast for radical activist legislation.
AOC's Green New Deal may as well be gloriously stamped Dead-On-Arrival. Many of Biden's down ticket party nominees were concerned for their own political survival in the 2020 election. This new administration most likely is not interested in pursuing activist legislation, but rather shoring up important dinner table issues that are a priority to struggling Americans still impacted by the ongoing Wuhan disruption.
The House will now surely pass a second stimulus package, but not until after Congress has deliberated on trimming back its original proposal. An omnibus Infrastructure Bill will most likely find its way to passage. And thankfully, the thrust to abolish the Electoral College should come to a quiet standstill as we slowly drift back to some form of aberrated normality.
January 20, 2021: No Inauguration, No Balls
Perhaps one of the funniest coincidences to arise out of this Electoral fiasco under the influence of the Wuhan virus is that the next U.S. President will be unable to host an outdoor Inaugural ceremony nor host any Inaugural Balls. Social distancing is still the imposed fear mongering recipe the U.S. media keeps serving to the American public. Oh, the irony of cowering in the scourge of the Wuhan virus!
A Biden presidency will ascend to a virtual nowheresville. He doesn't have an electoral mandate, he doesn't have a Senate majority, and he doesn't have the balance of power on the Supreme Court. All Biden is actually stuck with is a female Vice President ready to declare him legally evicted courtesy of the U.S. 25th Amendment with tinkering provided by the Speaker of the House. Biden's second banana wants to upgrade her position to that of top dog.
As of Saturday, November 7th, 538 Electoral Votes are currently being identified as either red for Trump or blue for Biden depending on the American news source attempting to project an uncertified winner. The left is exceedingly anxious to announce that the wicked warlock is dead. Vote counting, election certification and preparation for the Electoral College assembly each take their required time to proceed forward.
The biased American media networks appear to be ignoring all of the Trump campaign's legal court challenges to voting irregularities in individual states, compelling battleground states to conduct recounts, pursuing alleged ballot discrepancies arising across the country, castigating mail-in ballots being collected after the election, and of course the greater concern that possibly many state Board of Elections never conducted their required purging of voter rolls.
Incumbent Republican President Donald Trump's chances of winning a second term are looking scarce. Rather than remaining on the sidelines as a silent observer, the U.S. media are avidly eager to declare the Trump Presidency extinct and promote this as fact to the American public. The rabid left are ready to eviscerate and devour a Biden presidency. Trump may actually enjoy the last laugh as his opponent's mental acuity is targeted by friendly fire.

Federal judge charges US marshals in vaccination dispute
Posted: Jun 14, 2021 / 03:25 PM CDT / Updated: Jun 14, 2021 / 03:25 PM CDT
ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – A federal judge in South Dakota criminally charges three members of the U.S. Marshals Service with contempt of court and obstructing justice, after a dispute with a marshal who refused to disclose her COVID-19 vaccination status and removed prisoners from a courthouse.
U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann charged three supervisory law enforcement officers, including the agency's Chief of Staff John Kilgallon.

The officers allegedly allowed a deputy marshal to leave the courthouse in Aberdeen, South Dakota, with prisoners in tow on May 10 after the marshal refused to tell the judge whether she had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Editorial: New blood is urgently needed on the Charity Commission's board
01 June 2016 by Stephen Cook
Two of its more controversial board members have been appointed, but three vacancies are an opportunity to achieve greater diversity and balance, writes Third Sector's contributing editor Stephen Cook
It was announced by the Cabinet Office last week that Claire Dove is leaving the board of the Charity Commission when her three-year term expires at the end of this month. She is one of two women on the seven-strong board, the only non-white member and the only one with experience of the voluntary sector through her work in social enterprise in Liverpool.
Of the four other members reaching the end of their first term, two of them – the lawyers Eryl Besse and Tony Leifer - have been reappointed for two and a half years. Orlando Fraser, another lawyer, has been reappointed for 18 months and the academic Gwythian Prins for a year. Audit specialist Mike Ashley's first term ends in October next year, and the chair, William Shawcross, has already been re-appointed until October 2018.
Neither Besse nor Leifer have made any discernible waves in public, and Besse, a woman whose work, according to the commission "greatly exceeds that expected of a board member", is to be "deputy chairman". Prins and Fraser, by contrast, have attracted considerable attention, and reaction to the announcement has focused principally on the former, who was first noticed for his remark that charities should "stick to their knitting".
The reappointment of Prins coincides with a response by Shawcross to a complaint that he breached the Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies by writing an article opposing Britain's membership of the EU that was published by the Institute of Economic Affairs, a right-leaning think-tank. The complainant, Andrew Purkis, a former commission board member, says that Shawcross has told him Prins should have consulted and informed the board about the article, and Purkis interprets this as a tacit acknowledgement that Prins broke the code, albeit inadvertently.
Prins's reappointment therefore may mean either that breaking the code is not seen by the Cabinet Office as an impediment to reappointment – a rather worrying proposition – or that the Cabinet Office does not agree with Purkis's interpretation that there was a breach.
The fact that Prins is being reappointed for only one year is also open to various interpretations. It may be his preference or an attempt to make sure appointments are more staggered in future years. Alternatively, it could be a sign that his star is waning, or a combination of such factors. It's also worth noting that if he went now as well as Dove, the board would be down to only five members during the coming recruitment process, likely to last several months.
Fraser, a former Conservative parliamentary candidate, came to public attention mainly for his scathing emails to colleagues – disclosed in High Court proceedings last year – about the funding of the advocacy group Cage by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (a subject not mentioned, for some reason, in a recent interview Fraser gave elsewhere.) In the emails, he advocated a "robust" application of the commission's legal powers that might be challenged in the courts rather than a "technical" approach. His reappointment, albeit for less than a full three-year term, could be seen as a marker for the kind of approach Shawcross and the charities minister, Rob Wilson, want the commission to continue to take.
The other side of these developments, of course, is that three new members are now being recruited - one to replace Dove, one to replace Peter Clarke, who left earlier this year, and an extra one with IT skills, as recommended in 2014 by the National Audit Office. This is an opportunity to redress the perceived imbalance and lack of diversity on the board and alleviate some of the concerns about the commission's governance that have been raised by sector representatives, including those laid out in a letter to Wilson in April by Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. It is an opportunity to dilute the perception, which has registered as a concern among existing board members, that they are ardent right-wingers intervening constantly in operational matters or – as Asheem Singh interim head of the chief executives body Acevo rather cruelly put it last week – that the board is "little more than a chat room for its chair."
The commission could do with people from varied backgrounds who combine actual experience of the complexities of the modern sector with a balanced, unsentimental view of how it contributes to and fits into wider society; who have a realistic approach to government funding and the delivery of public services by charities; who appreciate the need for professionalisation and are not fixated on voluntary effort; and who accept and support campaigning and lobbying by charities in furtherance of their charitable objects and, if necessary, in defiance of government.

A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1: I. First observations of luminous evolved stars
Ritchie, B. W.; Clark, J. S.; Negueruela, I. and Crowther, P. A. (2009). A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1: I. First observations of luminous evolved stars. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 507(3) pp. 1585–1595.
Aims. Multiwavelength observations of the young massive cluster Westerlund 1 have revealed evidence for a large number of OB supergiant and Wolf-Rayet binaries. However, in most cases these findings are based on the detection of secondary binary characteristics, such as hard X-ray emission and/or non-thermal radio spectra and hence provide little information on binary properties such as mass ratio and orbital period. To overcome this shortcoming we have initiated a long temporal baseline, multi-epoch radial velocity survey that will provide the first direct constraints on these parameters.
Methods. VLT/FLAMES+GIRAFFE observations of Wd1 were made on seven epochs from late-June to early-September 2008, covering ~35 confirmed members of Wd1 and ~70 photometrically-selected candidate members. Each target was observed on a minimum of three epochs, with brighter cluster members observed on five (or, in a few cases, seven) occasions. Individual spectra cover the 8484–9001 Å range, and strong Paschen-series absorption lines are used to measure radial velocity changes in order to identify candidate binary systems for follow-up study.
Results. This study presents first-epoch results from twenty of the most luminous supergiant stars in Wd1. Four new OB supergiant members of Wd1 are identified, while statistically significant radial velocity changes are detected in ~60% of the targets. W43a is identified as a short-period binary, while W234 and the newly-identified cluster member W3003 are probable binaries and W2a is a strong binary candidate. The cool hypergiants W243 and W265 display photospheric pulsations, while a number of early-mid B supergiants display significant radial velocity changes of ~15–25 km s-1 that we cannot distinguish between orbital or photospheric motion in our initial short-baseline survey. When combined with existing observations, we find 30% of our sample to be binary (6/20) while additional candidate binaries support a binary fraction amongst Wd1 supergiants in excess of ~40%, a figure that is likely to increase as further data become available.

delicious. Produce Awards winner: Bertinet Bakery
We meet the artisan behind Bath's Bertinet Bakery, whose signature sourdough is taking on the supermarkets.
By Phoebe Stone
Richard Bertinet is no stranger to the pages of delicious. magazine. His knack for making the trickiest of bakes seem easy has meant the Brittany-born baker is much in demand. But it was his legendary 1.2kg sourdough loaf that caught the attention of the judges at the 2016 delicious. Produce Awards.
"My sourdough is my sourdough," says Richard. "It took me quite a few years to develop. When we started the bakery we found our customers didn't like sourdough to be too sour, so we made it with a more balanced flavour, to fit everybody's palate. It's been our signature bread for years now." Made using nothing but flour, salt, water and Bertinet's own starter, each loaf is hand-moulded and proved in traditional linen-lined baskets, taking close to 24 hours to produce.
Richard grew up in France, where bread was – and still is – a fundamental part of life. "Going to the bakery in the morning was something you did, like reading your email every day now," he says. "I remember going to the shops and seeing the pride the bakers used to have putting the bread out. That was pretty cool when I was a kid." As an inspiring alternative to his oppressively academic school, Richard became a bakery apprentice at 14.
The Bertinet Kitchen Cookery School and Bakery opened in Bath in 2005 and has since been joined by two more baking outlets, but Richard is determined the expansion won't diminish standards. His own bakers undergo rigorous training, and Richard is never far away, watching their hands for any slip in technique. "There are two ways of doing things," he asserts. "One is about making a quick buck, and the other is the proper way, which takes much longer. You train the people, you use good ingredients and you have patience. Anything else and I'd be cheating myself."
Industrial and supermarket bakeries currently account for close to 97 per cent of all bread produced in the UK, but in 2016 Richard bucked the trend by selling his sourdough loaves pre-sliced into local branches of Waitrose. Today he supplies more than 50 stores, a move he hopes will improve access to good bread. "The best thing since sliced bread is the new sliced bread," he quips. "There's a massive demand for good sliced bread without 14 added ingredients."
In Bertinet's book, being an artisan and working on a larger scale aren't contradictory. "People don't shop how they did in the old days, when you'd walk to the fishmonger, to the butcher and other shops. I love being on the high street in Bath, but you can't park there and I know that, if Waitrose is over the road, people will go there," he says. "It's nice to have a small bakery, but to make a living you need volume – and if you want to change things, you have to go even bigger."
It's no surprise that education is at the centre of Richard's ethos. "Part of my job as a baker, and as someone who calls themselves an artisan, is explaining what that term means, because people don't realise how much effort it takes."
Talking to him, the intensity of his ambition is evident, but it's expressed with an easy charm (and rich French accent) that make Richard a special presence, and excellent tutor. Teaching is a natural bedfellow for the bakery, and at Bertinet's popular classes, students learn through touch and sight, just as his bakers do.
Richard is convinced of baking's special powers. He recalls one course-goer, who explained her grandson's learning difficulties and her struggle to relate. "I said to her, 'When you're with him, try not to say anything; just make dough, because there's something magical in breadmaking.' She sent me a letter telling me her grandson now visits her every Saturday and they make bread together – and how he'd hugged her for the first time. That gave me a tear in my eye."
Richard has received numerous awards and honours during his career, but he remains thankful for each one and can't heap enough praise on his team and his wife Jo Harrod Bertinet, "the brains" behind the business. Accolades fuel the fire, but there is little respite. "When you win a prize no one can take it away from you," he muses. "But to achieve something is one thing – to keep it going is another. I always wanted to make good bread for everybody, and I see myself as two-thirds of the way there."

Milwaukee D.A. John Chisholm's decision not to indict Christopher Manney for fatally shooting Dontre Hamilton was a tragedy and an outrage. Now it is up to the federal government to intervene. Please investigate Dontre's shooting, and charge former Officer Manney with murder.
On April 30, 2014, my brother Dontre Hamilton was shot 14 times and killed by Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney. After almost eight months of foot-dragging, District Attorney John Chisholm refused to indict Manney. Eight months of mourning while working day and night to demand justice for my brother. Eight months of demonstrations on the streets, in City Hall, and at the park where my brother was killed. To make the non-indictment even worse, Chisholm announced it on December 22, in direct violation of our family's request that he not do it right before the holidays.
The Milwaukee police department and District Attorney's office failed to release any evidence supporting the officer's claims that my brother was a threat. Photos of Christopher Manney showed no indication of injury. It only proves to us that Dontre's death was unjustified and totally preventable.
This unbearable situation has led me to fight for justice for Dontre, who deserves to rest in peace with the truth revealed. No officer should be above the law, especially when he violates policy and procedures over and over again. Christopher Manney had a history of complaints against him for excessive force before he killed Dontre Hamilton.  If the local DA refused to consider this, then we need the federal government to step in. We cannot stand for injustice.
Police violence doesn't just hurt one individual or family. When the community lives in fear of the police, good police work is impossible. The Coalition for Justice is organized to end this pattern of injustice in Milwaukee. Our mission is to inspire courage and build a movement to transform the city of Milwaukee. We support the empowerment of marginalized communities and dismantling of systems of oppression that erode community trust, dignity, and agency.

El Castell de Fuste, Torre de San Buenaventura o Torre de la Caleta de Fuste és una torre de defensa situada a la localitat de Caleta de Fuste, al municipi d'Antigua a l'illa de Fuerteventura (província de Las Palmas, Canàries, Espanya). És Bé d'Interès Cultural des de 1949.

Història
Fins a principis del segle XVIII no existia cap fortificació a la costa de Fuerteventura, que sofria constants incursions de pirates barbarescos, anglesos i francesos. És per això que el comandant general de Canàries, Andrés Bonito y Pignatelli, sol·licita que s'enviï a l'illa a l'enginyer militar Claudio de L´isle, que va construir la torre del Tostón i el castell de San Buenaventura.

La funció principal era la defensa de la badia de Caleta de Fuste, un dels tres ports principals de l'illa. En els seus primers anys de funcionament va experimentar una ampliació dels seus murs, des dels 3 metres que va tenir inicialment fins als gairebé 6 metres de gruix actuals, suposadament després de sofrir desperfectes per bala de canó en un atac pirata.

Al segle XIX va passar a mans privades, probablement per la seva pèrdua d'utilitat militar. Als anys 1982 i 1983 es va construir un complex turístic, les piscines del qual envolten la torre en l'actualitat. El 2013 va ser restaurat pel Cabildo Insular i l'ajuntament d'Antigua, acordant amb la propietat la seva obertura al públic.

Descripció
És de planta circular i posseeix dues altures, amb una volta sostinguda per un gruixut pilar en el centre. Tenia dos canons de ferro, de petit calibre, i comptava amb dotació militar. Al seu interior s'hi accedeix a través una escala de maçoneria sobre la qual es recolza un pont llevadís amb cadenes de ferro.

Es considera 'bessona' de la Torre de Sant Andrés a Tenerife; de les torrasses de Gando i Sant Pere, a Gran Canària; de la Torre del Tostón, a Fuerteventura; i de la Torre de l'Àguila, a Lanzarote.

Are you new to the manufacturing process? Do you want to learn more about manufacturing? If so, you should understand how machine tools are made. Involving tool holders, clamps, and tool presetters, machining is hard to understand. What is easy to understand, though, is that more machine shops are opening in the United States, meaning these parts are made with pride.
Every tool has a different production method. Machine tools, like those tool holders help make, are made of several parts, differing from hand tools. Unlike hand tools, machine tools, like those tool holders help make, need accurate assembly to constrain the workpiece, and provide guided movement. Machine tools shape metal and other rigid surfaces by cutting, boring, grinding or shearing the surface.
Machine tools first involve a form tool, which is a precision ground prototype. Once the tool is ground, tool presetters use a probe to measure the tool. With these specifications, the tool can begin its production run.
Tool holders are an essential element to any machine production. Tool holders are connected to a metal lathe that holds the tool bit directly or the tool holder itself, so it can hold the tool bit. Tool holders are designed to withstand high velocity applications, so they are hardy equipment.
Standard ER collets are the most widely used of these clamping systems. Once the workpiece is clamped in place, it can be grounded based on specifications from the tool presetter, and then turned into something useful. Now made, the tool can be used in a wide variety of applications.
Of course, do remember that most modern machine shops are located in the United States. Twenty years ago, there was a movement to offshore as many machinist shops as possible. In recent years, many have been reshored due to rising labor costs and transportation costs overseas. More importantly, most foreign machinists cannot produce the same quality as American machinist shops.
It is estimated that there are about 72 million Baby Boomers in the country. As such, there will be an increase in the demand for more healthcare professionals in the coming years.

Pharmaceuticals are among the most needed products for Americas aging population. Having pharmaceuticals in a timely manner for many people, whether they are suffering from diabetes or cancer, is a matter of life and death. For this reason it is necessary to have a transport system in place which can ensure that packaging services are conducted professionally and on schedule.
If a pharmaceutical company chooses to manage its shipping services through contract packaging, it needs to take steps to insure that the contractor is familiar with the proper methods for shipping pharmaceutical products. One of the most important methods that any contract packer can know is blister packaging, a standard method for any smaller item that is being shipped.
pharma packaging requires unique services and operations. This is because so much depends on pharmaceuticals. With all forms of packaging it is a disaster if the product is contaminated. But with pharma packaging this can be catastrophic. If a shipment of pharma packaging is contaminated in any way, it can mean that pharmacies need to clear entire shelves. For this reason, pharma companies should find shippers who have a procedure for moving their products. Hiring professionals may cost more, but it is worth more.

Southeast of Union Square lies a strip of village shops and cafés- half of them still echoing a tired genre of drug shot, tattoo and piercing persona and half gentrified neighborhood of Avenue A. Where the local East Villager ages away, a new breed of global hipsters began to etch their mark on this hub. One of them is the brain behind an authentic Thai restaurant, capturing the traditions of ancient Thai cooking and weaving it into a new gastronomic experience.
The restaurant appears to surface poetically from a surround of graffiti and a dark underground bar arrival. It's clean and crisp interiors seemed to float within the dark frame of its heavy metal past.
The warm wood panels, basket lamp shades and chili red bar stools seemed to pop beyond the grunge and clearly marked the the start of a new experience. The impact it made in the neighborhood helped draw us inside. It was only minutes before we were finally embraced by a friendly greeting.
Sawa dee! Welcome to Somtum Der!
Fun! The hosts and chefs were wearing Panama hats and sporting muscle shirts offering us Rosella juice- their House Blend of Roselle plant, salt, pepper, asafoetida and molasses. The drink is originally used as a Thai remedy for liver dysfunction.
After meeting the owner Thanaruek Laoraowirodge who wanted to promote great Northeastern Thai food in New York City, we went on to the back of the restaurant to discover a harvest-like table decked with so vividly colorful, fresh hand-picked vegetables from the local New York farms coupled with Thai ingredients like shredded green papaya, dried shrimp, Thai red chilies, fish sauce, sugar cane and tamarind paste!
In a few minutes, the chefs came to meet us at the table and started a demonstration of how to make wonderful green papaya salad starting off with pounding chilies and fish sauce with a large mortar and pestle. Finishing off with adding tamarind paste, sugar cane vinegar and dried shrimp, the dressing was finally ready to receive the shredded green papaya for tossing.
Oh, and don't forget to get a glass of Thai rum on the rocks. The one they had was called 'Mekhong'. Not sure if it is the brand name or if it represents the local rum, but it was so light and refreshing. What a soothing prologue to the parade of food to come!
As we sat down, a large tray came our way and it had the green papaya salad at the center of it all. Around it were a variety of smaller dishes that included tiny crisp fish, steamed vermicelli, kangkong bundles, pork rind, brined egg, brown noodles, bean sprouts, tempura shrimp and fried tofu. We were told that we could mix them all up or taste each one at a time.
Following the tray was a tasting dish of duck salad with chilies and glass noodles. Also a bowl of steaming Tom Yum– a sour soup with flavors of lemon grass came our way to satisfy our palate.
My favorite was the duck salad as it had the right twist and turns, so rich in flavor that memories of other versions I had in the past have seemed to fade away.
Last on the parade, was another large dish of different staples pairing the highlight dish which is another version of papaya salad having fermented fish as it's dressing. This was the true taste of Isan Thai! Pungent enough to make your eyes glow, powerful and exhilarating yet enjoyable.
Kudos to Executive Chef and Co-founder Kornthanut Thongnum! He has championed mainstream Thai-Isan cuisine while introducing his own unique ways of bringing the flavors of genuine Thai food into Somtum Der.
Kornthanut, who has earned a Bachelors degree in Hotel and Tourism at Rajabhat University in Sakonnakorn, has brought his innovative culinary skills and restaurant experience to this new location in the East Village.
New Yorkers can now call themselves lucky to have a new haven for food and drink. It will definitely be a destination for many flavor-and-spice seeking foodies.

Q: Identity Server 4 and multiple client apps I'm developing SSO authority (something like FB or Google) and other client applications will use it to authenticate a user. I encountered the following problem.
I have 2 client apps (Identity Server clients) - ClientA and ClientB. Now single user User1 logs on into ClientA web app. He enters user/password and tokens are issued for User1/ClientA combination.
Then User1 logs on into ClientB application. There is no login dialog, which is fine, as cookies are used by Identity Server to recognize the same session. The token endpoint is called to issues tokens for a User1/ClientB combination.
There is a problem with logout. I log out from ClientA app which cancels the session for this user (SubjectId) also on Identity Server (by calling HttpContext.SignOutAsync("oidc")).
Now, what should happen to ClientB application? I found some queries about this issue and most people want other applications to sign out too (using front-channel or back-channel) but I want other apps to continue running as signed-in. From my point of view, this is the same scenario like when you log in to StackOverflow using FB than you log in to e.g. Tripadvisor using FB and when you log-out from one of this sites you will be still logged on to other sites.
In my case ClientB is still functional, it has valid tokens and can call back-end APIs. But when I initiate the same logout from ClientB then Identity server is not happy with that as it cannot find this SubjectId:
Processing signout request for anonymous...
End session request validation failure: Error validating id token hint...
Why is identity server considering these 2 applications as one session and delete it when one application is signed out? What is the recommended approach in this case?
Thanks
Peter

I'm a contemporary romance (new adult) author. My first novel is A Brush With Fame. The idea of someone famous wanting me was the inspiration behind my novel. If it wasn't going to happen in real life then it certainly was going to happen in my novel!
Writing is enjoyable for me because I can make up anything I want while getting lost in my characters. I enjoy writing and reading about beta males (the nice guy who is anything but boring)—heroes who are worthy of the heroine's love. I prefer stories where the conflicts come from external elements rather than conflicts between the hero and heroine. If their love has a strong foundation, they should be able to face any problem they encounter.
I apply to my own writing what an agent warned us about at a writer's meeting: do not waste the reader's time with unnecessary conflicts, which could be resolved on the next page. And I love a lot of dialogue and playfullness betwee my characters so the reader can see why they fell in love and will root for them to live happily every after.

Clinton campaign spokeswoman takes shots at Catholics, evangelicals in leaked email exchange
By | Fox News
Clinton aide's faith remark as bad as Trump's women comment?
Crowdpac CEO Steve Hilton gives his take
A top spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign mocked Catholics and evangelical Christians in a 2011 email exchange exposed by WikiLeaks this week.
In the exchange reported Tuesday night on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File", Jennifer Palmieri, now the Clinton campaign's director of communications, says that politically conservative Catholics "think [Roman Catholicism] is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals."
Palmieri was responding to a message from John Halpin, a fellow at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. Halpin remarked on a magazine article that discussed 21st Century Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch's decision to raise his children in the Catholic faith.
"Ken Auletta's latest piece on Murdoch in the New Yorker starts off with the aside that both Murdoch and Robert Thompson, managing editor of the [Wall Street Journal], are raising their kids Catholic," Halpin wrote. "Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus."
"It's an amazing bastardization of the faith," Halpin added. "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy."
The exchange was included in a batch of Clinton adviser John Podesta's hacked emails. Podesta was copied on the exchange between Palmieri and Halpin, but did not comment.
"This was thinly veiled religious bigotry, not only against conservative Catholics, but also against evangelicals," former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove told Fox News' Megyn Kelly on "The Kelly File."
Catholics represent 1/4 of the electorate. GOP last won Catholics in 2004, and in 5 of the last 11 pres elections.https://t.co/JSopWk2kE7
— Fox News Research (@FoxNewsResearch) October 12, 2016
"They mock deeply held beliefs. They mock the idea that two conservative Catholics would have their children baptized in the same river where John the Baptist baptized Jesus," Rove added. "I mean, this is really amazing that they would mock them. What Christians wouldn't consider it a blessing to be able to afford to baptize their children in the Jordan River? This is so insensitive … I'm gonna say that it's insensitive, but it strikes me that it really borders on bigotry, religious bigotry."
There was no immediate response from either the Clinton campaign or that of her opponent, Republican Donald Trump.
"It's gonna have to be made an issue by Donald Trump and his allies stepping forward and saying 'This is unacceptable and Hillary Clinton ought to repudiate it,'" Rove added.
Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org, called for Palmieri to "resign immediately or be fired" over the comments.
"Everyone has a unique faith journey, and it's just insulting to make blanket statements maligning people's motives for converting to another faith tradition. Had Palmieri spoken this way about other groups she would [be] dismissed," Burch said in a statement.

Gender equality a top priority for UNDP in Ukraine
Manal Fouani
Acting Resident Representative, UNDP Ukraine
Tetiana Grytsenko
en:Gender Specialist, UNDP Ukraine uk:Cпеціалістка з питань гендерної рівності ПРООН в Україні
Empowering women seen as a catalyst and multiplier for all other development goals
Advancing gender equality and women's empowerment is central to the mandate of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its development approach to deliver on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In Ukraine, in line with its gender equality strategy, UNDP is working to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls through its democratic governance initiatives, its inclusive and gender-responsive sustainable development programmes and through its support to recovery and peacebuilding in conflict-affected areas.
In all these areas and more, the support of development partners has been of paramount importance, one that only when coupled with strong national ownership and strategic technical assistance from UNDP can lead to concrete and tangible results in the sphere of gender equality in Ukraine.
Since 2007, UNDP has supported national governments, private sector companies and civil society organizations around the world through the Gender Equality Seal for Public and Private Enterprises certification programme to promote high standards in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment. To date, more than 500 companies in 29 countries are engaged with programme.
In 2011, UNDP applied this successful model to its own operations through the Gender Equality Seal programme for UNDP entities. By engaging with the Seal, UNDP Country Offices are better positioned to support government partners and accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While being a stand-alone goal (SDG 5), gender equality cuts across all 17 SDGs and is reflected in 45 targets and 54 indicators for the SDGs.
It is the journey that leads to reaching the Gender Equality Seal that matters the most.
Achieving the Gender Equality Seal for UNDP in Ukraine
UNDP's office in Ukraine has joined the Gender Equality Seal certification programme and developed a detailed roadmap to take an agency-wide approach to promoting gender equity and equality. The plan is to move the organization forward to be the best we can be in this critical area of supporting Ukraine's development. Joining the Gender Equality Seal is a critical step in developing a holistic and interconnected system to ensure that UNDP pursues gender equality in all aspects of our work, leaving no one behind.
As a result, such issues as women's leadership, gender-based violence, and unpaid care work are now better integrated into UNDP's broader programmes. UNDP strategically sends a clear message: we take gender equality seriously and it is important for us to address the concerns faced by women and men from diverse groups, especially the most vulnerable, in everything we do in Ukraine. The same applies for our internal procedures and work principles.
Throughout 2021-2022, our office will be evaluated against a list of Gender Equality Seal benchmarks and compete for one of the three levels of certification: Gold, Silver, or Bronze. For UNDP in Ukraine, it's the first time participating in this process.
To receive the Gender Equality Seal, standards must be met in the following seven areas: 1) management system, 2) in-house capacities, 3) enabling environment, 4) communication and knowledge management, 5) programmes, 6) partnerships, and 7) gender equality impact.
The following highlights the benchmarks we have already achieved in each of these areas.
1. Management system
Our priority is to promote a new culture of integrating and elevating gender equality into all aspects of our work. In response, we developed a 4-year gender equality strategy with annual action plans, guided by the corporate Gender Equality Strategy 2018-2021 to ensure our initiatives contribute to UNDP's global gender equality goals.
While every employee is involved in implementing the strategy, the primary responsibility for gender mainstreaming is with the Gender Focal Team (GFT), which works to ensure gender equality is fully integrated into all UNDP Ukraine portfolios and departments. Each GFT member focuses on gender issues within their own role and UNDP's broader strategic plan.
2. In-house capacity
UNDP senior management in Ukraine is working closely with the Human Resources Department to ensure recruitment procedures are geared towards ensuring all newly hired personnel have the understanding, skills, and experience on promoting gender equality. All Terms of References for every staff position, consultancy, and internship now include role-specific gender-related competencies and detail specific duties to enable all colleagues to conduct their responsibilities well.
In addition, UNDP has institutionalized constant capacity building to promote a better understanding of gender equality through in-house learning. All new hires are trained in UNDP's gender equality mandate and goals as part of the induction process, through the corporate online courses, and all-staff learning sessions, which are held on a regular basis to increase gender competencies among employees.
3. Enabling environment
The GFT also promotes a culture of equality, dignity, and respect, with zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory and abusive behaviour, including sexual misconduct.
To acknowledge the personnel who have taken actions for changing gender norms in their lives, UNDP launched the #EqualPartners campaign in June/July 2020. The campaign used social media posts with photos and quotes sharing experiences on the equal distribution of unpaid care and household work.
Also, UNDP organizes the Women Leaders bilateral impactful conversations with leaders within the organization to support and empower women in their career and personal development as part of the UNDP Ukraine people strategy (2020-2021).
Furthermore, UNDP is committed to achieving gender parity at all levels to make the most of our potential. We set a target of at least 40 percent of staff at all levels to be women – a figure we surpassed: as of today, 49 percent women and 51 percent men work at UNDP in Ukraine
4. Communication and knowledge management
As language plays an important role in creating social change, all UNDP communications is seen through a gender lens. Hence, UNDP uses gender-responsive and non-discriminatory language that doesn't reinforce stereotypes. The UNDP website showcases gender equality goals and results, featuring photos, stories, and knowledge products that emphasize the change towards gender equality.
UNDP also regularly conducts campaigns in Ukraine to advocate for gender equality. For example, the UN System's 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
5. Programmes
UNDP in Ukraine works to ensure that gender equality concerns are integrated at each stage of programme development and implementation.
When developing a new project, for example, UNDP conducts gender analysis to address gender inequalities through various activities with concrete indicators to monitor results, and codes the project with a gender marker rating to track financial contributions to achieving gender equality.
In three years, UNDP's programme budget on gender equality has increased ten-fold – from 7 percent in 2018 to 69 percent in 2020.
UNDP in Ukraine recognizes that effective partnerships are necessary to achieve full gender equality and equity. As such, we collaborate with government counterparts, with civil society actors, with the media, and with other UN agencies, funds, and programmes.
For example, with the EU Delegation's and UNDP's support, Parliament is setting a good example for the country through the development and use of a gender-oriented human resource management tool, by introducing annual gender assessments, establishing a network of gender focal points within the Secretariat, and developing an online course on gender equality for the staff of Parliament's Secretariat.
Also, since 2019, UNDP has partnered with the Ukrainian Women's Congress, a public platform that annually forms the gender equality policy agenda for the parliament, government, private sector, civil society and media, to discuss the challenges and opportunities for accelerating gender equality and women's empowerment in Ukraine.
7. Gender equality impact and results
UNDP along with other partners has advocated for gender quotas in Ukrainian elections that eventually led to the adoption of a new election code with a 40 percent gender quota requirement. With the support of the Government of Norway, we also provide for training of newly elected women councillors and advocate for full, equal, free and democratic participation of women in political and public life.
The Government of Switzerland recently partnered with UNDP in producing the second volume of a study looking at women and men in leadership positions in Ukraine. The results of the research show the overall share of women in leadership positions in Ukraine increased to 40.5 percent over the three years prior. While far from parity, this figure is much higher than the global average of 29 percent, and higher than the average in the European Union, where the percentage of companies with women in leadership positions sits at 35 percent.
UNDP was one of the first agencies in Ukraine to respond to the COVID-19 crisis by supporting the Government of Ukraine in establishing Crisis Coordination and Management Units under the leadership of the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. These units focus on improving the coordination between ministries, government institutions, and oblast and local authorities. Thanks to the work of these units, a Multi-Sectoral COVID-19 Response Strategy and three sectoral strategies covering humanitarian, socio-economic, and health spheres were developed, taking into account gender equality aspects.
In Ukraine, like in many other countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered increased domestic violence, with the number of reported cases jumping by more than 50 percent as compared to the previous year. With the support of the Government of Denmark, UNDP confronted this issue by partnering with the human rights defenders on an information campaign and by commissioning a study by JurFem, women lawyers' association, to identify specific issues women face during the pandemic. The results of the research show women face an increased workload, salary cuts, and domestic violence during the pandemic, which will be addressed in 2021 through supporting civil society response to the identified challenges.
As part of a joint UN Recovery and Peacebuilding Programme (UN RPP), UNDP and UNFPA set up shelters and day centres for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in the conflict-affected areas of Ukraine. We also provide training on GBV prevention for judges, police officers, patrol police officers, state emergency service staff, local authorities in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, and support the creation of 'green rooms' for ensuring child-friendly justice. In addition, UNDP has developed a mobile app 'Your Right' (available for iPhone and Android devices) to provide information to conflict-affected people, including IDPs and GBV survivors.
Furthermore, as part of the UN RPP, UNDP and UN Women supported the creation of 130 self-help groups and 48 Community Security platforms, predominantly led by women activists in conditions of the lingering armed conflict and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis. These groups work in the conflict-affected communities, ensuring participatory decision-making, gender-responsive budgeting of public resources, and the improvement of community safety for the most vulnerable in the face of armed conflict and the pandemic.
Moving in the right direction
The Ukrainian country office of UNDP is delighted to pursue the gold level certification Gender Equality Seal for its work in promoting the development of a prosperous and peaceful country where no one is left behind. As we know that to hold back half a country's population is to prevent the entire country from reaching its full potential, we at UNDP will continue to place priority emphasis on gender equality and women's empowerment as a critical area of development until these goals are fully reached. This can only be the right thing to do.

Transfer of Science or Research, Research projects
A facade that is a power plant and a guarantee of wellbeing

Anyone who spends most of their day indoors knows the importance of a comfortable atmosphere to work and live in. Researchers from EPFL's Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory are searching for ways to maximize the energy gain from a building's envelope while also optimizing interior comfort in an environmentally friendly way. They are demonstrating how this can be done with "SolAce", the latest unit in Empa and Eawag's NEST research building.
The blue-green facade of the "SolAce" unit at NEST shimmers like a butterfly's wing in the sunlight. The latest addition to Empa and Eawag's research and innovation building in Dübendorf was officially opened on 24 September 2018. The unit combines workspace and living space over almost 100 square meters and is integrated in NEST's south-facing side between the second and third platform of the typecase-like structure.
"Through its facade, "SolAce" is to produce more energy than the unit needs over the course of the year, while at the same time providing the best possible comfort to the users". That's how Jean-Louis Scartezzini explains the objective of the project. The EPFL researcher is the Director of the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory, and the idea for the latest NEST unit is his brainchild. To achieve this goal, the researchers combine several active and passive facade elements that feature technologies developed at the Lausanne-based lab. Some of those technologies are about to be commercialized by start-ups and collaborations with partners from industry, while others still have a way to go. "NEST gives us the unique opportunity to examine the various technologies in interaction with each other and in a real-life environment", says Scartezzini.
Electricity and hot water
The unit's positive energy balance is to be achieved by prducing solar electricity and hot water directly on the facade. Photovoltaic modules and solar thermal collectors with a novel type of colored nano-glazing will be used for this purpose. With the aim of promoting the integration of photovoltaic units in the building envelope by offering greater architectural scope through different colors, a team at EPFL has been researching coatings for coloration for almost 20 years. The research team, led by Andreas Schüler, was clear on the fact that the coating would need to cause as little energy loss as possible. There was no question of using absorbing color pigments. Instead, thin films of between 5 and 200 nanometers create what are referred to as 'interference color effects' on the interior of the glazing, not unlike those that appear on a soap bubble or on the wings of a butterfly for example. "Because the nano-coating is very transparent, there are virtually no absorption effects and just very minor energy losses", explains Schüler. This technology has now been patented and is currently being brought to market by the spin-off "SwissINSO", with the blue-green version being used in NEST.
How to monitor wellbeing?
Besides office space for four people, "SolAce" also offers a living area for two. To keep the promise of optimum comfort, the researchers are attempting to recreate the users' individual perception by using innovative optical sensors. The prototype sensors measure lighting conditions and glare from a user's perspective, for instance a person working at a computer. This on-the-fly monitoring is used to control electric lighting and sun shading in the best possible way. It means that if a certain glare value is exceeded, the curved venetian blinds start directing the rays of light entering the building to the ceiling. Circadian lighting is also intended to boost the working performance of the "SolAce" inhabitants, but also to support them during recovery phases. Circadian lighting simulates the sunlight over the course of the day, thus promoting our natural sleep-wake rhythm.
Micro-structured glazing
Likewise, innovative window panes are to contribute to a cozy atmosphere for living and working – and above all else to lower energy consumption for heating in winter and for ventilation in summer. Invisible to the human eye a micro-structured glazing in a polymer film on the interior of the glass directs wintertime light to the ceiling of the unit for even illumination, thus allowing the interior to heat up naturally. In summer, the same glazing ensures that the sun's rays are guided away from the windows and hence the rooms don't heat up that much. This new type of glazing was developed at EPFL by Andreas Schüler and his team. The researchers used a precision laser from Empa in Thun to manufacture the first prototypes. Now the team is working with BASF / Switzerland to develop an industrial manufacturing process. As soon as the first window panes are available, they are to be installed in the "SolAce" facade. Researchers from EPFL's Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design will then measure the visual comfort of the new panes in situ. Until then, reference panes will be used that will provide benchmark figures.
Proving everyday use
As is customary for NEST, the "SolAce" unit will be used and lived in on a real-life basis. During the first phase, it is primarily EPFL researchers who will use the rooms and monitor the systems and technologies and adjust them to ambient conditions. "Once this is done we will use the unit for our guests to work and to live in", says NEST Innovation Manager Rico Marchesi. He is delighted about the new addition to the research and innovation building and is convinced that "SolAce" can make a valuable contribution to the future design of building envelopes. "Thanks to the color glazing shown here, aesthetic concerns about the use of photovoltaic modules on the facade are clearly no longer valid", he is convinced.
For Jean-Louis Scartezzini, the project is already a great success: "Again and again, the close cooperation between researchers and partners from industry, but also amongst the industry partners themselves, led to surprising ideas and a valuable exchange of knowledge." The architect of the unit, Fabrice Macherel from Lutz Architects in Fribourg, also found the collaboration between the realms of research and business to be hugely enriching: "Striking the balance between theory and practice was not always easy, but we learned a lot of new things and we can use this knowledge in future projects." To put it more briefly: technology transfer in its purest form.

Bid to extend anonymity of Kevin Lunney attacker comes before High Court
YZ and his two co-accused are due to be sentenced on Monday for their roles in the abduction and torture of Kevin Lunney.
An application to extend an order preserving the anonymity of the man known as YZ convicted over his role in the kidnapping of businessman Kevin Lunney has come before the High Court.
The extension is being sought to protect the man's right to a fair trial, Mr Justice Charles Meenan heard on Thursday.
The man has other criminal matters pending before the Criminal Courts, and his naming by the media in reports could prejudice the rights to a fair trial before a judge and jury, it is alleged.
The order was due to expire earlier this week, but the man's lawyers successfully applied to the Special Criminal Court for an extension for a week to allow them to go to the High Court seeking an order that he should remain anonymous until other matters before the courts are dealt with.
Criminal involvement
At the High Court on Thursday, Michael O'Higgins SC for the man said that it was hoped to move the application seeking permission to bring the challenge on Friday this week.
Counsel said it is their case that the man's anonymity should be preserved until a date in mid-January at least. At that stage it may be known when the trials of other pending matters are likely to be heard.
Mr Justice Meenan directed that the application for leave be made on notice to lawyers for the DPP.
YZ and his two co-accused are due to be sentenced on Monday for their roles in the abduction and torture of Mr Lunney.
Following their trial earlier this year YZ was convicted along with two other men of false imprisonment and intentionally causing harm to Mr Lunney at a yard at Drumbrade, Ballinagh, Co Cavan on September 17th, 2019.
The trial heard that Mr Lunney, a director of Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH), was driving along a narrow lane-way leading to his home when a BMW reversed into his Toyota Landcruiser.
Two men got out of the BMW and dragged Mr Lunney from his vehicle before YZ approached, held a stanley knife to Mr Lunney's face and told him to get into the boot of his Audi A4.
YZ drove with his two accomplices, and Mr Lunney in the boot, to a horse trailer in a remote farmyard in Cavan where they stripped Mr Lunney to his boxer shorts, doused him in bleach, shattered his shin-bone with two blows of a wooden bat, punched and kicked him, sliced his face with a stanley knife and carved the letters QIH into his chest.
The men told Mr Lunney to resign from his position with QIH and end legal proceedings he was involved with in Belfast and Dublin.
Delivering the verdict of the Special Criminal Court last month, Mr Justice Tony Hunt said that YZ was "heavily involved in these crimes before, during and after the commission thereof."
The court was satisfied that YZ was the driver of the car used to take Mr Lunney to the yard and that he was "responsible for inflicting most of Mr Lunney's serious injuries."
