Jacqueline's Jacket
Added Feb 21, 2011
by sing0202
London, United K...
I used Butterick B4929 to create this oriental style Jacket for my sister's birthday. The silk was an absolute pain to work with, I burnt it with an iron once, and had to recut (didn't have enough it left) and it unravelled before I even got a chance to do anything with it!
I could point out all things that went wrong with it, but I won't becuase I learnt so many techniques from doing it (it was my first attempt at a. a jacket, b. silk, c. lining) and because it might make me have another one of those sewing tantrums I'm now famed for.
She really liked it which is the most important thing!
Material Notes
Shell: Silk
Lining: Poly Silk
Buttons: Self made – I think they're what I'm most proud of!

Ooh, very pretty. I absolutely adore the fabric you chose. I'd love to make this for myself, perhaps a bit longer, for a pirate-y look. Great project!

Cut QualityDiamonds with poor cut proportions appear may look lifeless and dull. Usually these diamonds are made that way to preserve most carat weight. Poor cut includes all diamonds that do not meet the proportion standards of a fair cut. Customers on a limited budget may find such diamonds attractive.
ColorSlight presence of color may be detected in F color graded diamonds by an expert gemologist. The diamonds of this grade are considered colorless. Great choice for the purist. Look for a fluorescence rating of faint, inert, none, or negligible.
ClarityVVS2 diamonds have very very small inclusions which, when viewed under 10X magnification by an expert, are difficult to be seen. The inclusions should be light colored. The features of the VVS2 clarity grade are exceptionally difficult to discern. Diamonds of this clarity appear to be perfect to an unaided eye.

Barking Cat Farm is a small acreage speciality farm, founded in 2014, that focuses on growing high quality crops in an organic and sustainable manner. We focus on improving soil biology by applying compost and compost teas, based on examination of the biology in the soil. The main farm is being converted to a whole-farm permaculture system. Both Laurie & Kim have their Permaculture Design Certificate from Geoff Lawton's Permaculture Design Course.
Kim Martin has been an avid vegetable gardener all of her life. She ruined a perfectly good hobby when she and Laurie Bostic started Barking Cat Farm. She still enjoys growing and finds it a life long learning experience. Kim regularly teaches classes to help gardeners learn how to be more successful. She has completed all of Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Foodweb classes with distinction and is now in the consultant trainee program.
Laurie Bostic never thought she'd be a farmer, although she comes from a good Polish farming background. But then she and Kim Martin started Barking Cat Farm. Laurie is the chief tractor mechanic, irrigation specialist, small equipment and fencing expert, insect identifier, and groundskeeper. Laurie is in the process of completing Dr. Ingham's classes.
Our Name comes from a brainstorming session where we, as two retired engineers, were trying and failing to come up with a catchy name. Frank, the "barking cat" walked by and gave us some lip and that was our light bulb moment!

See that image above? That image is flashed for a very brief moment during a commercial for this year's Spike VGAs. Obviously this means something is happening involving zombies, which obviously means we are obviously excited.
The commercial also briefly flashes a QR code. The code leads to this teaser site, containing the words "Look Closer" and "Murder." Any guesses as to what this all means? A new Left 4 Dead? A free pet zombie with every McDonald's Happy Meal? Yet another game featuring brain munchers? So many possibilities!
Here's that commercial, in case you're interested:[youtube]kcEdB0byh7g[/youtube]

THE New York City Opera revived its production of ''Le Nozze di Figaro'' Tuesday evening at the State Theater with most of the cast from last season's performance still in place. Now, as then, Mozart's glorious score sparkled brightly.
The principal changes from the first night a year ago have been the addition of Gianna Rolandi in the role of Susanna and the substitution of Scott Bergeson for Hugh Wolff as conductor. Mr. Bergeson acquitted himself handsomely from the very first notes of the overture, and he led his players in a secure, spirited accompaniment that knew always when to withdraw for the vocalists.
Ms. Rolandi sang Tuesday in bright and smoothly shaped phrases, delivering her last act aria, ''Deh! vieni, non tardar,'' with unusual grace. She brought to her character a winning mix of coy self-confidence and street-smart savvy. And most importantly, Ms. Rolandi blended easily and convincingly with the ensemble of singers, whose ability to complement and play off one another's efforts was largely responsible for the production's success. The supertitles worked especially well in this instance at involving the audience intimately in the complex and amusing machinations on stage.
John Copley's smart, unfussy production from 1977 treats the work with admirable respect for the ability of composer and librettist to push forward the drama and time properly the jokes. Sets, by Carl Toms, might by now profit from a coat of light paint but serve more than adequately and are on a scale befitting the opera.
Each of the principals brought to the roles some complexity of character and, as should be the case, none overshadowed the others. Kurt Link's Figaro opposite Ms. Rolandi was sung in a sturdy, resonant bass. He bounded about with amusing overconfidence and detailed his performance carefully, at one point winning a big laugh by kicking imaginary dirt at the outsmarted Almaviva.
Timothy Nolen brought a real actor's skills to the part of the count. He cut a handsome, intelligent figure and sang in respectable, secure tones, swaggering angrily during most of the opera but giving a touching account of his final scene as the repentant spouse.Continue reading the main story
Elizabeth Hynes at times sang in a tired and unfocused voice but presented a surprisingly moving and noble vision of the countess. If Cynthia Rose, as Cherubino, had a tendency to rush into phrases, she looked and moved ideally for the role and, like the rest of the cast, made sure never to overplay her hand at comic turns. Joseph McKee (Dr. Bartolo), Josepha Gayer (Marcellina) and Lisbeth Lloyd (Barbarina) turned out solid performances that helped keep the production moving along so smoothly and happily that the work's four hours seems more like two.Continue reading the main story

Last Christmas I found the perfect cake stand at a shop in Solvang. It was the most perfect shade of green (like a mint jade) and so, so beautiful. But at $75 it was not affordable, and we ended up not getting it. We still think of that cake stand nearly a year later.
Since then I've been on the lookout for an equally perfect cake stand, and nothing so far has matched the level of love and adoration that that green cake stand in Solvang did. So imagine how excited I was when one of my favorite people ever, Lauren Conrad, posted a video in her "Crafty Creations" show for a DIY cake stand. Not only is this a potentially inexpensive project, but it can be super customizable.
I can't wait to give this one a try!

The iconographic potential of the image of the Virgin La Bien Aparecida, patron saint of the Cantabrians, together with the architectural configuration of the Santander premises, of small spaces separated by large load-bearing walls, leads Tarruellatrenchs to propose a space with winks materials that evoke ecclesiastical elements such as ribs of the roofs of the ships, arrangement of benches, stone altars, confessionals and the crowns of the Virgin.
In the same way that the pre-existent Muraria architecture can recall an ecclesiastical configuration, it also evokes tavern-style gastronomic spaces where simplicity, austerity and the nature of the materials give prominence to food and its abundance at the table.
The gastronomic premises of working with first quality products, cooked with contemporary ideas and techniques but without losing the charm of traditional flavor, served in generous and shared sources that refer us to the abundant and homely food, are another main source of inspiration for the project.
Working with noble materials, very basic forms, simple manipulations of the materials and some purification, simplicity and at the same time delicacy in the definition of colors and finishes. One of the most important decisions has been to maintain the plastered walls presented by the premises at the beginning of the reform to reinforce the idea of austerity and simplicity.
Oak wood, very present in floors, wainscots and furniture is presented natural, in solid planks that give the space weight and warmth. In the same way, the communal tables provide the character of a classic tavern.
Just as the abundance of wood brings warmth, the study of light has been very important to provide the environment with a domestic and natural atmosphere.
The restaurant is organized on three levels. Access takes place at an intermediate level at street level through a small double-height lobby that functions as a reception with a stone pedestal. From this point, a wooden staircase presided by a sculptural installation of golden crowns made with cutlery elements leads to the first floor. On this level there are two rooms, the bar and the toilets. With the purpose of creating a nucleus of activity the bar was proposed as a single central element as a table / bar of black stone where diners and waiters shared activity in front of a wooden shelf for the exhibition of liquors and wines, all semicultural by sliding doors in die-cut wood as a confessional. The toilets at the end of this floor play with the same stamped closing of the bar and with a large white stone pedestal that serves as a washbasin. On the lower floor there is a third more private room where the original vaulted ceiling of the building has been maintained, as well as the kitchen and the rest of the service areas.
All the first floor spaces play with ribs of pine wood that reproduces the traces of vaulted ceilings and down to the ground enhancing the verticality of the spaces.
Similarly, floor-to-ceiling mirror coverings cause some of the spaces to double and expand their boundaries. Thanks to this resource, in the dining room of community tables the effect of the nave is enhanced, in the bar area the vault is completed and in the bathroom we can duplicate the pedestal of the washbasin.
The formal simplicity of the project has made it possible to have all the facilities seen on the roof of the premises, climate ducts, electric trays, lighting, audio elements

Naming a complex argument to abs() generates the following error:

Don't do that then...
However, this is a bit ridiculous and should get fixed eventually:

Error in abs(x = 0+1i) : supplied argument name 'x' does not match 'z'
> abs(z=1i)
Error in abs(z = 0+1i) : supplied argument name 'z' does not match 'x'
As far as I can tell, the problem is that do_abs checks for argument name 'x', then calls do_cmathfuns which checks for argument name 'z'.
I agree it seems unnecessary to use a named argument in abs(), but it came about when I was defining a 'Math group' method for a new class, and I just figured you wanted to know about this small incovenience/inconsistency. Naturally, I can work around this.
I'll fix this in R-devel and R-patched. The fix will be to remove the name from the arg after checking in do_abs, before sending to do_cmathfuns.

Firefighters are battling to bring under control the major blaze at the 86-storey Torch Tower in the United Arab Emirates holiday hotspot.
Shocked onlookers have shared harrowing videos on social media of the fire, which quickly spread up one side of the structure.
Burning debris is raining down on the streets below, sparking small spot fires, according to reports.
#dubai#fire#marina#torch#building pic.twitter.com/hHIKi4wLE0— mira majbour? (@miramajbour) August 3, 2017
The BBC reports that officials have "successfully evacuated" the building, which houses 676 apartments.
It marks the second fire at the skyscraper in the world-famous Marina district, with an eerily similar incident two years ago.
A fire swept through the same building in February 2015 and its flammable cladding was blamed for the rapid spread of the flames — a chilling similarity to the Grenfell fire tragedy in London.
Cara Spillane tweeted: "Terrifying to see Torch Tower, in the area I live in (Dubai Marina) on fire now. Hope everyone gets out OK."
Claire Hopkin added: "One of the skyscrapers near me is on FIRE! God! Hope everyone can get out. Scary seeing it!"
A man at the scene, John O'Nolan, said on Twitter that at least 15 floors appeared to be well alight.
Took this photo a few days ago - this is the tower which is on fire. It's huge. pic.twitter.com/R5ZnPbZBg5— John O'Nolan @ ?? (@JohnONolan) August 3, 2017
Fire in Dubai marina getting bigger and spreading up building. Lot of debris. Can't tell which tower it is. Not many sirens pic.twitter.com/zYiPQXJ1e4— John O'Nolan @ ?? (@JohnONolan) August 3, 2017
The cause of the fire and the current state of evacuation is not yet known.
During the fire in 2015, there were no fatalities and seven people were treated smoke inhalation.
Dubai's glittering skyline has seen a number of similar fires in recent years.

Has Petrojam underdeveloped Jamaica
Has Petrojam underdeveloped Jamaica?
THE EDITOR, Sir:
In his book How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Walter Rodney wrote about the importance of studying our past, as "it would be impossible to understand how the present came into being and what the trends are for the near future".
In Rodney's view, underdevelopment "expresses a particular relationship of exploitation". Even though his book can be considered controversial, it does raise some important questions about reasons behind underdevelopment.
The recent announcement by the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) that Petrojam has consistently failed to pass on savings to consumers, consistent with declines in oil prices on the global market, gave us cause to stop and take another look at the impact of Petrojam on Jamaica's economy.
For example, in 2012, Jamaica's total exports were valued at approximately US$1.1 billion, or J$97 billion, while imported petroleum products were valued at approximately US$1.6 billion, or J$142 billion. This represents a US$500-million, or J$45-billion, trade deficit on petroleum products alone.
I am quite sure that a review of 2013 will show similar negative trade numbers. It would be interesting if we were able to take an in-depth look at this deficit over the past 20 years or so to get a better picture of the impact Petrojam's operations has had on the Jamaican economy. This does not even include the strain on the Jamaican Government and, by extension, its people, to find the US dollars needed to import the petroleum products for the refinery.
Petrojam also has a direct impact on the costs of electricity, another driver of economic growth. With some 60 per cent of the country's electricity bills being a pass through from Petrojam, when Jamaicans complain about high electricity rates, we should be looking directly at Petrojam and, indirectly, at the Jamaica Public Service Company Ltd.
Commercial transportation costs are also a direct result of high diesel prices and this also leads us to yet another cost of the refinery's policy of selling high sulphur diesel into the market for decades.
The exhaust fumes from a typical diesel engine are much "dirtier" than gasoline engine's as studies have shown them to be unhealthy for both humans and the environment. These studies show that exhaust from diesel engines is made up mainly of gases and soot.
Whereas the gas portion of diesel exhaust is mostly unhealthy carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide and sulfur oxides, the soot portion is made up of particles such as carbon, organic materials and traces of metallic compounds. As such, the exhaust is believed to play a role in various health problems, including eye irritation, headache, asthma and lung and heart diseases.
The fact that Jamaicans have been exposed to high levels of sulfur for decades can only mean that the country has been unhealthier for the experience. Thankfully, the country is now able to purchase relatively cleaner diesel, but after decades of high-sulfur fuel, the country has already paid a high health-care price.
Many Caribbean countries have taken the decision to close their oil refineries, some of which were much more efficient that our own.
So, has there been a net positive for the Jamaican Government owning and operating an outdated oil refinery or has it been more of an exploitation at the expense of Jamaica's economy? I implore the PSOJ and other organisations to take a closer look at this.
Jerry Minott

Charles (Charlie) Rich (December 14, 1932 – July 25, 1995) was an American country music singer and musician. His eclectic style of music was often hard to classify in a single genre, encompassing the rockabilly, jazz, blues, country, and gospel genres. Enjoy Charlie Rich's best quotes below.
"At first I didn't dig country."
"I think a guy who's had just the right amount of booze can sing the blues a hell of a lot better than a guy who is stone sober."
"I had to make a drastic change at Sun Records and I didn't really appreciate country music until I went there."
"As a matter of fact, we put it down because we wanted to be jazz pickers."

It Starts with the Customer: Taking the Plunge into Enterprise Legal Management
Today's client story comes from a mid-sized engineering company that develops and constructs global oil and gas projects. As their legal department grew in size, they were experiencing several pain points: inability to measure and track spend, an ever-increasing workload for legal staff, and a lack of communication across global legal offices. It became apparent that they needed a system focused on the legal department and its needs.
This is a story we hear time and again, particularly from companies who have no legal management system in place. The client chose Lawtrac, our single, integrated out-of-the-box legal management platform, as it is not only easy to use and implement, but will easily grow with the company. It has the e-Billing capabilities they needed to track spend, as well as robust matter management for more effective communication. This customer now experiences much more efficiency, better global collaboration, and the ability to measure the health of the business. They can report on both workload and spend, and have a more streamlined legal department.
If you have never had an enterprise legal management system before, it can feel daunting to take the plunge. However, our clients are experiencing reduced costs and more proactive decision-making because they chose to implement matter management and spend management. If you are currently using spreadsheets or the same document management system as the rest of the company to cobble together a legal process, I encourage you to reach out to us. We'd love to show you how we've been able to help clients like the one discussed here.

A strong, supportive orthotic device is essential for anyone suffering with the pain and discomfort that comes with flat feet. A simple orthotic arch support can work wonders in a work shoe to lift the arch and provide relief. However, these devices aren't enough when it comes to an athletic performance. Running shoes also require the appropriate level of support and cushioning so that athletes and fitness fans can keep running and training as long as they like. Flat feet suffers need something more reliable for this type of performance, where the support remains in place, but there are added benefits for comfort during training. There are plenty of sales pages and claims for these orthotic inserts for running shoes that use cliches like "going the extra mile", but the following five products do deliver in their own way. They have a strong blend of comfort, stability, a strong form and other helpful features to allow users to keep running or jogging without pain or discomfort.
The best insoles for arch support for athletes comes from those that understand that a basic orthotic isn't enough in a sneaker.
1. Sof Sole Airr Orthotic Insoles
Some of the best designs for insoles come from designers that know to provide more than just a high arch for flat feet. This simple orthotic device isn't enough when users need a more supportive, stable shoe insert to help them on their run or any other athletic endeavor. The Sof Sole Airr Orthotic Insoles for Men and Women are a great example of this because the high arch really is just one element of the athletic feel here. This is specifically designed for athletes of all kinds with the promise that it is "ideal for running, cross training, walking" thanks to motion control and improved stability. This comes from a nylon plate in the arch, as well as a gel forefoot and air bubbles in the heel. The aim here is that this extensive shock-absorption, cushioning and stability allows users to run further and harder with no ill-effect.
The best shoes inserts also look at other common problems
2. SENSFOOT Insole for Arch Support and Plantar Fasciitis
This sense of an orthotic insert that does more than focus on one issue is important when training. A basic arch in a shoe may be enough relief for causal wear, but athlete need a little more than than while running and training or long periods. These sessions can aggravate other foot problems that may result from the flat feet, such as pain more generally, and there is always the issue of foot odor and bacteria. The SENSFOOT Insole for Arch Support is a great example of a product that looks at foot problems more generally.
This is a men's model that immediately specifies that it is able to aid Plantar Fasciitis. Others here may help, but none are so forward in their claims. The arch support is the main focus here, with a great sturdy structure with plenty of padding for ongoing comfort. However, there is great consideration in the structure of the heel too. There are PORON pads at the heel – and the forefoot – that use a honeycomb gel for shock absorption and extra cushioning. This deep U cup should provide additional stability for the alignment of the foot. Finally, there is moisture and ventilation control in the lining.
The best insoles also provide plenty of cushioning for comfort
3. Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer Athletic Cushioning Arch Support Shoe Insoles
Going back to this idea of long term support and stability, it is also important that wearers have enough comfort and cushioning in their shoe inserts for the whole session. A strong, comfortable arch is a great start, but it is better if this tech and clever cushioning continues across to the heel and forefoot. This enhances the feel and protects the foot further. This means a product like the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer Athletic Insoles, where comfort and cushioning are there for more than just arch support. This is seen in a numbers of ways. There is a thick layer of polysorb polyurethane foam around both the arch and heel, with the addition of layer of shock-absorbing Spencore material. There is also a heel plug and antimicrobial properties in the lining for additional help. This is a great example of a versatile option and there is the added benefit here of both men's and women's sizes.
The best inserts for arch support provide support without shouting about it
4. Superfeet CARBON Full Length Insoles
Comfort means more than just an insert with plenty of padding. It is possible to have an insole that is so thick and well padded that it is almost a distraction in the shoe. Where possible, athletes need to have support in a lightweight option that they will barely notice. It needs to work silently in the background as though they had a "normal" pair of running shoes on. This is one of the main aims with the Superfeet CARBON Full Length Insoles. There is no doubt that these inserts offer plenty of support, with that 4'' high arch. However, this is one of the thinnest, lightest options around so athletes barely notice it. This is all due to the clever use of the carbon fibre and polymer structure and the light closed-cell foam.
Finally, all the top shoes inserts share a clever use of materials
The models above are all great examples of this. The Superfeet CARBON Insoles have that light carbon fibre and polymer blend. The Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer Athletic Insoles have that polyurethane foam, the SENSFOOT Insole uses natural fabrics for breathability and the Sof Sole Airr Orthotic Insoles have that nylon plate. One final product to consider here is one that has an impressive selection of materials in use.
5. Birko Sport Arch Support Insole
This orthotic insert uses a range of materials and sections for what is arguably the least attractive, but also one of the most interesting options here. This leather and fabric insole fits into the shoe to provide the right kind of support in the right places. This includes the blue memory foam for an adaptive fit around the foot and the cork heel for stability under the heel. This piece of German engineering provides a great level of comfort and is ideal for running and walking shoes.

Just a note from my journal, something a friend made me to think about when it comes to personal growth. I am just finishing summer courses in Swedish so perhaps therefore I also came to think about the following:
"I wonder if it is possible to draw a parallel between personal growth and learning a new language - or learning a new word in a foreign language. I think there is something similar in them. Both processes are more complex than we would think, more than just a definition in a dictionary we need to memorize - and we need to be merciful towards ourselves and others.
First you learn to understand a word, you hear it and you read it, look it up and memorize it. Then you can start using it step by step, but it can take a lot of time to get it right, to really own a word, to grow. The different meanings and how a word is used in different contexts compared to your mother tongue, what you have learned as a child, can sometimes be tricky to learn and there is a different way of seeing behind (each language) which you need to start understanding. I guess the only thing you can do is to have the courage to make enough many mistakes before you start owning a word. And perhaps therefore it takes time to any of the life's wisdom's to reach from the mind into heart and personal growth is so demanding.
Sometimes we also face tremendous words in life which make us fear and to feel insecure. Many times have I asked myself that do I have the capacity to handle something or shall I just give up. Like the Finnish-Swedish word barnträdgårdslärare, kindergarten teacher, which many of my adult students have had to face this summer in order to be able to tell about their profession. I tell them to tackle it step by step: barn – trädgårds – lärare and it is okay to use words like dagislärare or the Swedish-Swedish word förskolelärare instead when learning. You can always find a way around and does it really matter if you pronounce/write a word incorrectly, if some letters are missing. You'll still be understood and get the confidence to try again and again and master it later. And just a side note. I have always been very fond of this word, kindergarten teacher, and seeing children as flowers we need to nourish the best way so that they can then bloom, all different and together make a garden.
And of course, some words you never seem to learn. Or you easily mix them with other words like the Swedish words ganska and kanske, just like it can be easy to mix for example pleasing and giving from the heart. We learn with time and some words we just simply forget. Exactly as our psyche has its limitations when it comes to growth. I also tend to say to students at the end of each course that remember to be proud of every word you have learned. You have worked for it, it is your capital. Obviously it is then a task in itself to put the new words together and use in the sentences you master from before and to make the sentences fuller - and whole - with time. And both in learning a language and personal growth, we need others, as mirrors. And when it is time for one of the many exams in life, I hope we always try to look at what we have learned and what we can, not what we can't. We are always enough with our imperfect vocabularies."
Perhaps I tried to explain personal growth, and the hardships co-dependencies and other issues some of us have to go through in life through another phenomenon, more common for all of us. Metaphors are used to explain more complicated matters with something we all can relate to. For example in politics we often see metaphorical language, negotiations are seen as a war or as a game, EU and other international organizations are seen as a family and so on. If you are more of an analytical mind perhaps you think that whatever it is in life, just deal with it. In my own experience I haven't found it to be such a straight forward way though. I haven't thought this text through in every point, but perhaps the thinking behind holds well enough so I put it out here just in case there is something useful for anyone.
I also have body parts for a new crocheted critter on my work table waiting for assembling, so crochet coming as well :-).

|Found two of these lamps at an antique shop.
I didn't like the shades. Let me be clear, the lamp shades were actually very nice lamp shades. I'd probably like them on another lamp. They just didn't look right on these lamps. So I bought some different shades today.
Here's how it looks now.
|A new lamp shade for my new lamps
I've updated our living room lamps several times by changing the lamp shades... That's not completely true. I haven't really changed the lamp shades in the living room. I actually used the same shades, but replace the fabric on them. That's not as easy as buying new shades, but it's a lot less expensive, plus you get custom shades!
I still need to clean up the brass bases on my new lamps and replace the felt on the bottoms, but I'm so in love with these lamps. I just have to find the perfect place to put them.
By the way, you got a sneak peak at my one of my other projects. I painted the fireplace doors. They look so much better, but I share that with you in another post. I'm also busy decorating for our first Christmas in our new house! I can't wait to show you that too when I'm done!
UPDATE: Here are the finished lamps with the brass bases all polished and the new lampshades!
|Finished!! I love how they turned out!
Art is a wonderful Christmas gift! Find some unique gifts in my shop!! Order by December 12 to get it before Christmas.

"Buying a bike that was able to support me was a major step in getting more exercise and living a better life, plus it's also helped me get to places without walking or taking a bus. I've lost over 100 pounds since I purchased my bike."
― Aprille Morrison
"I just had my first ride on mine. The bike performed beautifully. And it was a thrill to be able to ride again after many years of not being able to. I can't properly express the degree of my gratitude to Joan and the community Zize serves."

Local Climate Change Law
Environmental Regulation in Cities and Other Localities
Edited by Benjamin J. Richardson
Chapter 2: Transnational Voluntary Climate Change Initiatives for Local Governments: Key Variables, Drivers and Likely Effects
Stepan Wood and Kevin Thompson
Stepan Wood and Kevin Thompson 1. INTRODUCTION Policy-makers can choose from a range of regulatory instruments when deciding how to respond to environmental problems.1 'Command' regulation sets legally binding standards for regulated entities' environmental performance, industrial processes, products or the quality of the receiving environment. Economic instruments induce regulated entities to modify their behaviour by manipulating their economic incentives via taxes, subsidies, deposit-refund schemes, or tradable entitlements. Information-based regulation seeks to influence producer or consumer behaviour by requiring or regulating the generation and dissemination of environmental information, without dictating any particular environmental outcome. Common forms include product eco-labels, environmental impact assessment requirements, environmental 'right-toknow' legislation, and environmental disclosure requirements for securities issuers. Direct government expenditures, legal liability rules and government procurement contracts can also be employed to regulate environmentally harmful conduct. Finally, voluntary initiatives are programs in which polluters or resource users commit to take action in relation to the environment in the absence of a legally binding requirement to do so.2 Such initiatives take many forms, including government-industry negotiated agreements, public 'challenge' programs, industry self-regulatory initiatives, 1 In the context of climate change, see e.g., Robert Stavins, 'Policy Instruments for Climate Change: How Can National Governments Address a Global Problem?'

Anatomy and Function
The nose is made of the outer covering (skin), a support system (cartilage and bone), and lining (mucosa). Cartilage is the softer floppy structure that permits movement and control of the opening of the nostrils. Nasal bones support the bridge of the nose between the eyes. The septum is the wall between the two nostrils that is a sandwich of cartilage and bone surrounded by mucosa. It functions like a tent pole holding up the lower nose. Deeper in the nose opposite the septum, turbinates project into the air flow to humidify the air. The turbinates enlarge and shrink depending on the needs for moisture. Under the turbinates are the holes into the sinuses.
The nasal airway can be obstructed by:
Sinus obstruction can also occur from local swelling of the turbinates. Deviation of the septum and nasal deformities can increase the chance of this obstruction such that a smaller swelling closes off the openings that otherwise would be open.

Benefits from Surgery
There are many possible surgical choices for changing the shape and characteristics of a nose. The evaluation and analysis takes considerable time for your consultation. Flesh is not like a computer image. On a computer you can have a nose appear to change to almost anything you may want. Such virtual changes rarely can be duplicated with surgery. You will need to understand what surgery may be able to do for you. Realistic expectations are the key to a happy outcome.

The Game of the Year Edition will unlock all classes, weapons and perks to the celebrated MMOFPS.
Hi-Rez Studios, the makers of Tribes Ascend, said the Game of the Year Edition will be released as a digital download for the PC tomorrow, February 15. It will be sold for a discounted £ 20.99, € 23.99 (around $32) when it launches on Steam and the official Tribes Ascend website (http://www.tribesascend.com/), while existing Tribes VIPs can purchase it for a an even cheaper price of £ 13.99 € 15.99 (around $22).
The edition was named in honor of the multitude of editor's choice awards and Game of the Year nominations the multiplayer shooter has racked up since its release. Hi-Rez Studios said players who buy the edition will be able to obtain pretty much all they need in the game – more than 100 weapons, all 9 classes and all 21 perks spanning its ten previous expansions.
The Game of the Year Edition even includes a new Shocklance weapon.
Hi-Rez Studios was quick to assure its fans that Tribes Ascend will remain as a free MMO, and that it just wanted to offer a quick-buy option for players who want to get all the weapons in one fell swoop.
The new Game of the Year Edition will be rolling out with new content as well, including six brand new maps – three for capture-the-flag and Blitz play, and three for Arena – and two new cosmetic skins.

A 17-year-old who received a 10-year probationary sentence after he drove drunk and killed four people has been moved from the psychiatric hospital where he spent more than eight months, a relative of a victim said Thursday.
Ethan Couch had been at North Texas State Hospital in Vernon since Feb. 19.
Alexander Lemus, the brother of Sergio Molina, whose injuries left him paralyzed, said victims' families were informed of Couch's transfer, but they were not told where or to what kind of facility he was moved.
Multiple sources confirmed what Lemus said, but they did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak for publication.
Retiring state District Judge Jean Boyd ordered Couch into treatment after he drove a Ford F-350 while drunk, killing four people and injuring as many as 12 others. Couch had seven teenage passengers in his pickup. Lemus' brother was riding in the bed of the truck.
His condition has not changed. Molina communicates by blinking his eyes, Lemus said.
"My home has become a hospital," Lemus said.

OK, I have been busy in many aspects of my life and a website project that I have been working on with the Minister for War and Finance has been bubbling away for the last 10 or 11 months, but never ever really got launched. But it is out there now, up and running. I am of course talking about Loaded Trolley which is somewhat of a Costco Australia fan blog at the moment.
I say at the moment, because I am wondering what it could evolve in to. For now though, it is just a site that I decided I wanted to do after an argument with a work colleague over whether the cost of toilet paper was truly good value at Costco.
So please do hop over and have a look at the new site. We have al kinds of articles over there now, including reviews, comparisons and updates on what is going on in Costco's Australian stores.

This Ph.D. submission is in two parts : a dissertation : a series of visual works. The two parts of the submission are complimentary. Neither should be thought of as a 'commentary' on each other. The subject of the dissertation is the relationship of the visual to the discursive and its subsequent effect on the notion of the 'Plan'. The opening of the dissertation builds up a view of the different relationships these two may have, and how it is possible to discuss these relationships in different ways. As a model for these relationships I have used Diderot's Salon of 1767. In this essay Diderot begins to reassess the relationship between beholder and artist. and the nature of the relationship between the seen and the recorded. The seven sections [Diderot's 'Sites'] each serve to introduce a particular relationship between criticism and practice, and introduce consideration of such topics as the Sublime, the incestuous relationship between the work and its critique, and the relationship of landscape, model [as in the form of landscape garden], and the painting. The second section takes a look at more specific relationships, in a historical sense as in Emblems and Devices, and in a linguistic sense as discussion of Heidegger's work on 'Form' and Lyotard's Discourse/figure. These chapters are distillated in the final chapter 'PPP' in which aspects of these notions are reassessed in relation to a potential visual work. The third section begins with a precis of Steinberg's thoughts about inconsistencies found in the plan of Borromini's church of San Carlo and then moves on to consider possible explanations which may occur through the reading of Deleuze's book The fold. This develops into a discussion of the nature of the idea of 'the Plan', and its is significance in the creation of a work of Art. The final section, Vasculum, attempts to re-order these finds into a network of ideas, images, events which will serve as an encyclopaedia [a Diderotian notion in itself] from which a potential visual response can be mounted.

April 20 2017
Pomona California –
South West Logistics Attends the 2017 Southern California Logistics & Supply Chain Summit.
So, South West Logistics decided to once again take another look at this years Southern California Logistics and Supply Chain Summit.
Juan Perez from Amazon Fulfillment – Juan touched on many of the highlights from Last years conference, such as employee enhancements and benefits, but then focused on Automation and how large Amazon as grown in the past 5 years, especially in the Inland Empire.
Gary L Toebben – CEO LA CHAMBER OF COMMECE – Highlight was the continually, almost daily, changes made by bureaucrats on the logistics industry, by people who really do not know what the transportation is all about.
Dr. RAT WOLF – TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY OF SAN BERNARDINO.
Dr. Wolf took us through the new infrastructures, freeways, toll roads, and Metrolink upgrades. An interesting note. San Bernadino County is larger than 8 of our nations states. Most of the population, however is concentrated in the South West corner of the county. The massive infrastructure upgrades is funded by Measure I, which was just extended another 30 years. With out the Measure I's initial 20 years, we would not have the 71, the extended 210 Freeway, and the Metrolink would have not happened. Goal is to get more people off of the roads, free up traffic and allow Truckers more room and less congestion.
BJ Patterson shared the same message basically from the 2016 event.. He shared his displeasure by stating "California is not the best state for doing business". Many on the panel felt as though the California bureaucracy was dead set against helping the Logistics industry in any way. He brought up an Executive order from Governor Jerry Brown. The mandate stated that by 2030, 100,000 Commercial trucks are to be emissions free, or Zero Emission vehicles. 25% of current vehicles are to have an increase of 25% fuel efficiency by 2030 and.. We must increase California's Competitiveness as well. Its very tall order that the logistics industry must adhere to by Executive order. BJ did however end his speech on how truly excellent the Logistics industry is. This is one of the very few industries left where a blue collar person can support their family into middle class standards.
While many on the Panel agreed that we would all like to have clean air to breath, the restrictions and time lines are oppressive and unrealistic. This is and will be a pretty hot topic.
Dr. John Husing Chief Economist for the Inland Empire –
Dr. Husing pulled no punches this go around. A fantastics Analyst and a regular contributor on KVCR. Dr. Husing simply stated that California's Democratic Leadership is squeezing out the middle class, and trying to keep the poor, Poor! The Transportation industry one of the last great places for the Blue collar person to make a decent living and live within the middle class.
BLOCKCHAIN – Technology. This is a whole new way of tracking all the stages of a particular load, it follows every person entrusted to handle said load, tracks payments and more. https://hbr.org/2017/03/global-supply-chains-are-about-to-get-better-thanks-to-blockchain For more in depth information.
Summary: In short, the Logistics industry is strong. There is a tremendous struggle with California's ever tightening restrictions on business, making it very hard to grow, but grow we have. Companies like Amazon, E-Bay have reversed the logistics model. Giant warehouses and many different types of vehicles all bringing your products to you. All requiring some sort of logistics solution. Assessment? The logistics future is very bright. (still)
New Crew Members at South West

Should you have accounting questions, Claudia can be found at extension 1002.
We welcome our newest members, and feel blessed as an organization to have the ability to hire these fine individuals.
So, there you have it.. the new faces of South West. They and our entire staff are grateful to have the opportunity to be an instrument in your success.
Now, lets get to work.
The Sun Rises on a Good Business Model
No one would ever think that a white glove delivery job would lead to inspiration for a new business model. But in February 2016, that's exactly how it happened.
At the beginning of the day, South West arrived before sunrise to install a 5 room medical clinic at the Tesla factory. While we waited to gain entry to the factory, the sun rose over the freeway and lit up the larger-than-life Tesla sign. We knew then as we experienced their fully decked out factory, complete with an entire wall of all the cereal you could ever eat in the employee lounge, gourmet hot lunches served daily, and multiple soda fountains, we were looking at a unique, inspiring business culture. We realized that if you treat your employees with respect and encouragement, they will treat the service well, and they will better serve the customer. Success breeds success.
That morning at Tesla, We were inspired to create a culture that emboldens our employees here at South West Logistics. We began by creating a platform for our own employees to grow, immersed in a culture that is refreshing and eye-opening.
Sure, free drinks, lunches makes the employee happy, but what about their performances? What could we take from our Tesla visit and bring that to South West. We decided to have a very transparent atmosphere , where employees could take part in the direction of the company. We encourage our teams to voice their opinions and to have those opinions heard fully and enacted upon. We created a culture of encouragement and growth, whereby employees are sent off to school to learn new skills, while being paid to do so. Employee retention is our goal, but employees are always encouraged to reach their own personal goals, even if that means career changes or starting their own business. With this platform of encouragement, we have seen tremendous success in our corporate growth. Our team members are proud to be a part of South West Logistics, and that translates into fantastic customer service and installs. We love what we do.
In brief, we are in the people business and our install at the Tesla facility set in stone our business philosophy for years to come.
Southern California Logistics Summit. 2016
April 28 2016
Pomona California –
Thanks to our local NPR radio station, KVCR, we were informed and later attended the 2016 Southern California Logistics & Supply Chain Summit.
South West Logistics is about educating, not only ourselves on new Logistics trends, but also brining new hot topics to you as well. This was our first visit to the Summit and we were really unsure what to expect.
Juan Garcia from Amazon Fulfillment – Juan spoke on Amazons incredible employee programs. They introduced a program that helps employees leave the company. The program is designed to help employees, who are looking for growth, education to actually move on. They even have an bonus incentive program. Amazon will pay you up to $5,000.00 to leave the company. 1.4% of employees have actually taken pay to leave program. The point of this program, is Amazons encouragement for personal growth. Amazon also began to bring school to the office. Amazon offers classrooms and courses on the job site. Employees are encouraged to learn and are presented in class rooms with glass walls, for other employees to see, Yes, this is happening.
Pulse f the Port:
Dr Nole Hacebaga, Chris Shimala, Lena Kent of BNSF, and BJ Patterson all spoke on matters concerning the Long Beach Port.
Coming from perhaps the worst year in port congestion (2015), Dr. Noel spoke on how different Logistics companies came together and started sharing Trailer Chassis. The Chassis were shared by everyone to help get the freight out of the ports. It has been a big success. Cargo ships have more than doubled in size in just the past 5 years! This has made dock logistics even more congested, but lowered the cost of shipping a container from China from $2,100 just a few years ago, down to $700 or so. This resulted in many shipping companies to look at forming a collation and control the shipping prices across the seas. An OPEC for cargo if you will.
Chris Shimala spoke on Port Logistic infrastructure. Annually, the state of California collects 2 Billion dollars in taxes generated from the Logistics industry. Only 20% of the tax money collected goes back into infrastructure improvements. A whopping 80% goes back into the General Fund and to the controversial California High Speed Rail project. This lead into the next speaker
Lena Kent from BNSF. To say that this board was frustrated with California policy towards the logistic industry, was an understatement. Lena let if fly with her clearly unhappy tone. "Its hard to get permits in California We spent 100 Million dollars over 14 years for a net loss". BNSF spent 14 years and 100 million dollars building and proposing a Port Infrastructure plan, that according to her, would have helped Long Beach with the massive flow of products into the ports, and help keep Long Beach the go to port for Logistics on the West Coast. A judge denied their case and it was over. With Crude oil down and Coal down as well, BNSF is struggling and this California setback didn't help much either.
BJ Patterson shared his displeasure by stating "California is not the best state for doing business". Many on the panel felt as though the California bureaucracy was dead set against helping the Logistics industry in any way. He brought up an Executive order from Governor Jerry Brown. The mandate stated that by 2030, 100,000 Commercial trucks are to be emissions free, or Zero Emission vehicles. 25% of current vehicles are to have an increase of 25% fuel efficiency by 2030 and.. We must increase California's Competitiveness as well. Its very tall order that the logistics industry must adhere to by Executive order. BJ did however end his speech on how truly excellent the Logistics industry is. This is one of the very few industries left where a blue collar person can support their family into middle class standards.
Great New incentives rolling out:
Southern California gas is rolling out its Natural Gas Vehicle Truck load program. This program focuses on the introduction of Natural Gas vehicles to Diesel fleets. There is a lot more information on this program. Visit socalgas.com or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will be happy to send you over more information.
Summary: In short, the Logistics industry is strong. There is a tremendous struggle with California's ever tightening restrictions on business, making it very hard to grow, but grow we have. Companies like Amazon, E-Bay have reversed the logistics model. Giant warehouses and many different types of vehicles all bringing your products to you. All requiring some sort of logistics solution. Assessment? The logistics future is very bright.
