Developing pathways to water-wise cities
A water-wise city vision accelerates action
The IWA Principles for Water-Wise Cities provide an all-encompassing vision for sustainable urban water management that unites people and institutions, traverses boundaries and scales, and enables a city to take action. The 17 Principles underlie resilient planning and design in cities by encouraging collaborative action, so that local governments, urban professionals, and individuals actively engage in addressing and finding solutions for managing all waters of the city.
Read full article by Tom Williams from the International Water Association (IWA).
OECD Water Governance in Cities
Urban, demographic and climate trends are increasingly exposing cities to risks of having too little, too much and too polluted water. Facing these challenges requires robust public policies and sound governance frameworks to co-ordinate across multiple scales, authorities, and policy domains. Building on a survey of 48 cities in OECD countries and emerging economies, the report analyses key factors affecting urban water governance, discusses trends in allocating roles and responsibilities across levels of government, and assesses multi-level governance gaps in urban water management. It provides a framework for mitigating territorial and institutional fragmentation and raising the profile of water in the broader sustainable development agenda, focusing in particular on the contribution of metropolitan governance, rural-urban partnerships and stakeholder engagement.
Restoring European rivers and lakes in cities improves quality of life
Rivers and lakes located in European cities and towns are getting cleaner thanks to improvements in waste water treatment and restoration projects which have brought many waterways back to life. New forms of water management contribute to make our cities greener, smarter and more sustainable, but key challenges remain, according to a new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Join us tonight for a very special evening of audible fun featuring Silvano Monasterios (piano), Joseph Lepore (upright bass) and E.J. Strickland (drums). We'll be playing music from my latest record, 'Secret Rhymes' along with some brand new compositions. visit TroyRoberts.com
"Roberts' sixth release as a leader, "Secret Rhymes" is confirmation that redefinition of familiarity is entirely possible, and this will long be considered a new standard for years to come. This project embodies the spirit of contemporary improvised music in its purest and most urgent state, while maintaining the characteristics of nurturing and delicacy that give it balance and scope."
- Greg Osby
"Roberts is a boisterous and effusive player, conversant but not busy. 'Secret Rhymes' has a bounce to it and Roberts excels here as a leader, with an awesomely arranged album with just a touch more arch than one can legally call straight-ahead."
- DownBeat Magazine
"Whilst it's not common to display virtuosity, it's even rarer to be wonderfully creative while doing so. But the rarest of all gifts is to have a unique voice; a sound that is unmistakably your own, Troy Roberts has this gift. He amply demonstrates that it's possible to pay homage to the great tenor players of jazz and still create a fresh approach that leaves the listener always in anticipation of what he'll come up with next."
- James Morrison
"While jazz is so strongly identified as swing, it is nice to see the next gen carving out their sound and ideas. Roberts, along with his well-equipped ensemble, is certainly up to the task - creating a jazz record that employs great playing and abundant ideas. Roberts, though young in age, certainly has an arsenal of abilities under his belt, and has the makings and foundation of a lasting great saxophonist. Versatile in style, with a strong grasp of yesterday and today, he is a force to be reckoned with no matter the setting. He is more than one to watch, he is one to follow closely."

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs downgraded IBM IBM, +0.86% to neutral from buy, citing a slowdown in U.S. tech spending. The broker noted that Americas, which at 42% of revenue is IBM's largest geography, grew at only 1% in the latest quarter, with U.S. growth likely flat to down. "This and IBM's comment about a weaker U.S. spending environment, coupled with similar comments from other companies, make it unlikely that the stock will be able to outperform in the near term," Goldman Sachs told clients.

EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement
Due to the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the EU and Japan the largest free trade area of the world is formed. Here you can find the major information on the agreement.
Japan is the sixth most important trading partner of the EU worldwide and Germany's second most important trading partner in Asia. Nevertheless, EU firms have to deal with trade barriers when exporting to Japan making it hard for them to compete. High tariffs for certain products like wine (15 percent), chocolate (up to 30 percent), cheese (up to 40 percent) or shoes and leather goods as well as complex certification procedures are but two examples. Current EU exporters have to pay import levies amounting to on average 350 million euros a year.
The European market is also of high importance to Japanese firms. The EU is Japan's third most important trading partner. However, Japanese firms too face trade barriers and restrictions when exporting to the EU, especially within the automotive, agricultural and forestry sectors.
To promote the trade in goods and services and to find new opportunities for investments, negotiations about an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) were launched in 2013 and mostly completed in 2017. On July 17, 2018 the agreement was signed following the resolution by the European Council and has been provisionally applied since then. The European Parliament still has to ratify the agreement which is expected to come into effect completely in 2019.
Major Goals
The main goal of the free trade agreement is to remove trade barriers and boost the trade in goods and services as well as to create new opportunities for investments. Nearly 74,000 EU firms are exporting to Japan. 78 percent of them are small and medium-sized companies. In the EU, especially sectors like medical devices, agricultural products and food, motor vehicles and transport could benefit from the agreement. After entering into force, 90 percent of tariffs for EU exports will be eliminated immediately. Nearly all custom duties (97 percent) are expected to be removed in the end.
From the perspective of German business, major goals are the liberalisation of trade in goods, services and investments, the improvement of framework conditions of, for instance, economic competition or intellectual property protection, the reduction of non-tariff barriers (especially for motor vehicles) and better access to public tenders.
In addition, the market for Japanese products is expanding. For Japanese exporters, custom duties for industrial products will be removed completely. Agriculture and forestry as well as fishery will benefit from the immediate elimination of tariffs as well. The same applies to producers of alcoholic beverages.
Trade in Goods
One key issue of the agreement is the reduction of tariff barriers such as custom duties. Concerning the trade in goods, the EU and Japan agreed on the immediate termination of third country duties on one hand, and on extensive plans to eliminate tariffs on the other. This will allow EU exporters to save around 1 billion euro in custom duties per year. In the EU, the following sectors will especially benefit from the abolishment of tariff barriers: agriculture and food (in particular the export of pork, beef, wine and cheese), industrial products (such as chemicals, plastics, cosmetics, clothing, leather and shoes), fisheries and forestry. Japanese exporters, notably the automotive industry, also profit from the elimination or rather the reduction of tariffs.
Decisive results were achieved also with regard to non-tariff barriers. This is particularly true for motor vehicles. Furthermore, certifications of European products like medical devices, "quasi drugs" and cosmetics were simplified. Japanese textile labels were conformed to the international system. Beer from Europe may now be listed under this name in Japan. European restrictions on import of Japanese wine are also eliminated.
In addition, the EU and Japan committed to base their standards and technical regulations on international standards to the extent possible.
Trade in Services
The EU exports some 28 billion euro of services to Japan each year. After the free trade agreement ha entered into force, the Japanese market will widely open to European service providers. New regulations were especially introduced for postal and courier services, telecommunications, new financial services astemporary movement of company personnel. Latter is the most advanced provisions on movement of people for business purposes that the EU has negotiated so far. Furthermore, European service providers will be able to participate in more bids for procurement tenders in Japan.
Further Regulations
Another important part of the agreement includes the protection of Geographical Indications (GIs). Japan recognises more than 200 European agriculturale products. The same applies to Japanese food and beverages.
Additionally, high standards are set for the protection of workers and the environment. Both sides are committed to adhering to the core labour standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and international environmental agreements such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris climate agreement. Moreover, the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources are guaranteed.
For the first time an EU trade agreement will include a chapter on corporate governance. The EU and Japan commit themselves, among others, to transparency and disclosure of information on publicly listed companies, accountability of the management towards shareholders and effective and fair exercise of shareholders' rights.

News and Events
Obama Administration Highlights Tools to Manage Electricity Use
The Obama Administration announced on January 18 the launch of new online tools that will allow consumers to download household energy use data. These tools, packaged as a website feature called "Green Button," are designed to help households save energy and money.
Two of California's largest utilities—Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) and San Diego Gas & Electric Company—have taken the lead in launching the Green Button as a new feature on their websites, allowing nearly six million households to download their own detailed energy use data. Additional utilities that collectively serve another 11.3 million households plan to make the feature available later this year. See the Green Button page on the PG&E website.
Because Green Button is designed around an open-data standard, it is spurring innovation among website and software developers interested in using that standard to provide novel energy-saving services. The North American Energy Standards Board also plans to make a "startup kit" available to help app developers, students, and others take full advantage of Green Button. Green Button is expected to support interactive thermostats and audits that recommend energy-efficiency retrofit improvements for homes and businesses. DOE also plans to highlight Green Button apps on its "Energy Savers" energy information portal. See the White House press release.
DOE Reports Potential for Wave and Tidal Energy Production
DOE released on January 18 two resource assessments showing that waves and tidal coastal currents could contribute significantly to U.S. electricity production. The West Coast, including Alaska and Hawaii, has especially high potential for wave energy development, while significant opportunities for wave energy also exist along the East Coast. Additionally, parts of both coasts have strong tides that could be tapped to produce energy. Combined with other analyses, these assessments show that water power, including conventional hydropower, could provide 15% of U.S. electricity by 2030.
The United States uses about 4,000 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity per year. DOE estimates that the maximum theoretical electric generation that could be produced from waves and tidal currents is approximately 1,420 TWh per year, about one-third of the nation's total annual electricity use. Though not all of the resource potential identified in these assessments can realistically be developed, the results still represent major opportunities for new water power development, highlighting specific opportunities to expand on the 6% of the nation's electricity already generated from hydropower resources.
In addition to the wave and tidal resource assessments, DOE plans to release additional resource assessments for ocean current, ocean thermal gradients, and new hydropower resources in 2012. To support the development of technologies that can tap into these vast resources, DOE's Water Power Program is undertaking a detailed technical and economic assessment of a wide range of water power technologies in order to more accurately predict the opportunities and costs of developing and deploying these innovative technologies. The program is sponsoring more than 40 demonstration projects that will advance the commercial readiness of these systems; provide first-of-a-kind, in-water performance data that will validate cost-of-energy predictions; and identify pathways for large cost reductions. See the DOE Progress Alert and the Water Power Program website.
DOE Offers Universities Opportunities to Advance SunShot Solar Goals
DOE announced on January 20 two opportunities for university researchers to advance the department's SunShot Initiative, a program that aims to dramatically decrease the total costs of U.S. solar energy. DOE will make up to $10 million available to support the development of heat-transfer fluids that are more efficient, thus reducing the cost of energy from concentrating solar power (CSP) systems. The department also opened the second round of SunShot Initiative postdoctoral research awards for applied research at universities, national laboratories, and other research facilities.
Under the solicitation for heat-transfer fluids, DOE will support university-based CSP research projects to develop and demonstrate fluids that are more stable than current technologies at temperatures greater than 800°C. CSP plants use mirrors to focus sunlight to heat a working fluid, which generates steam that spins a turbine or powers a heat engine that produces electricity. Higher-temperature working fluids could enable CSP systems to couple with heat engines that are capable of converting more than 50% of the heat in the working fluid into electricity.
This funding will be awarded as part of the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative, a program designed to advance research, accelerate technology transfer into the marketplace, and prepare a new generation of scientists and engineers. DOE anticipates funding one or two projects over five years through this opportunity. For more information, see the Funding Opportunity Announcement on DOE's Funding Opportunity Exchange website.
In addition, DOE opened the next round of SunShot Initiative postdoctoral research awards, which will provide students the chance to work on advanced clean energy technologies. Recipients will conduct applied research at universities, national laboratories, and other research facilities. This program includes an opportunity for recipients to participate in a research exchange program with Australia under the United States-Australia Solar Energy Collaboration. See the DOE Progress Alert, the SunShot Postdoctoral Researchers Web page, and the SunShot Initiative website.
DOE Seeks an Administrator for the Superior Energy Performance Program
DOE issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on January 19, offering up to $3 million in funding to administer its Superior Energy Performance (SEP) program, which will help U.S. manufacturers continually increase the energy efficiency of their domestic facilities. The funding will support at least one organization to launch, operate, and promote the SEP program. When launched later this year, the voluntary program will provide a transparent, step-by-step certification process to help industrial and commercial facilities implement and validate improvements in their energy performance and reduce their energy costs.
The SEP program will be a key component of DOE's efforts to improve energy efficiency throughout the nation's manufacturing sector. The program administrator will be responsible for launching and overseeing the program during its initial stages and for developing and executing a sustainable business model, enabling SEP to become a fee-based, self-sufficient program within three years of the award. Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity include U.S. domestic entities or consortia composed of academic institutions, non-profits [except 501(c)(4) non-profits], and for-profit private entities. Letters of intent in connection with this opportunity are due February 21, and awards are expected by June. See the DOE Progress Alert, the FOA on DOE's Funding Opportunity Exchange website, and the SEP Web page.
Austin Using Green Innovation to Beat the Utility Blues
Sewage treatment has always been a dirty business, dating back to the frontier days when "waste management" meant the guy who followed after the horses with a bucket and shovel. However, thanks to modern technology, there are ways to turn some of the treatment processes into clean energy that can power public infrastructure facilities.
The Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant in Austin, Texas, located on 1,200 acres of land along the Colorado River, is a national model for innovative approaches to improve the environment, such as reducing waste, producing compost, and protecting ecosystems. Each year, thousands of tons of biosolids, the nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of sewage sludge, are anaerobically digested and composted with Austin's yard trimmings into an EPA-certified soil conditioner called "Dillo Dirt" (as in armadillo).

During the 1980s, an initial effort to improve energy efficiency at the plant started when two 400-kW converted diesel generators were installed. The generators were fueled by a mixture of digester biogas from the site and diesel fuel. This worked fairly well, but after 20+ years the old generators are no longer serviceable or repairable, and in recent years the gas has had to be flared. Austin decided to use $1.2 million of its Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to replace the old equipment with modern "biogas-rated" generation equipment.

New Thermal Window Technology Lessens Menace of Jack Frost
By Roland Risser, program manager, Building Technologies Program
Say what you want about the joys of Jack Frost nipping at your nose, but when it comes to winter wonderlands, I like mine outdoors. Etching icy messages on the insides of my windows is not exactly cozy. Therefore, I'm thankful for technology that provides an efficient and effective barrier from inclement weather.
Traco, a division of Kawneer and window manufacturer since the early 1940s, recently partnered with the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to utilize funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to develop new window technology. These OptiQ™ Ultra Thermal Windows can reduce energy loss by up to 40% compared to the efficient, commercially available double-pane low-emissivity windows that are already on the market.
Each year, windows account for an estimated 4 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy lost in U.S. buildings, totaling over $35 billion in heating and air conditioning costs. Future window systems like the OptiQ™ Ultra Thermal Windows will eventually outperform the best-insulated walls or roofs in terms of annual energy performance, peak demand reduction, and costs. This new innovation holds promise to boost both savings and comfort. Read the full story on DOE's Energy Blog.

Realising the Real
There are few road cycling challenges more demanding than Rapha's Cent Cols; 100 cols in ten days, accumulating around 2000km travelled and 40,000 meters of mountain ascent.
The events push riders to their physical and mental limits, and the rides come to explore not only a distinct mountain region, but a rider's relationship with the world, their bodies, and their inner demons.
Hans Peter Knudsen rode the Southern Alps Cent Cols Challenge through a heatwave in summer 2017. What follows is an exploration of his life-changing, and life-affirming, experience.
Hans Peter takes on one of one hundred cols with Leslie, a new-found friend who came to be a vital source of companionship on the road
Whilst a Cent Cols Challenge is not a race (the challenge is in the completion), you need to be fit and resilient when you take to the start line.
Each stage, at around 200km in distance and 4,000m of total climbing is far more than most would contemplate in one day, let alone ten.
As you'd expect, Hans Peter underwent a focussed training regime in the year prior to the Cent Cols, engaging coaches and dieticians to help improve his cycling power and reduce his body weight in a bid to optimise his power to weight ratio; a golden metric of mountain cycling.
As a result, he entered day one of the event in the best shape he could be, and with an intimate knowledge of how many watts he should climb a mountain at, and how many beats per minute his heart could handle for ten to twelve hours of cycling a day.
The Cent Cols is a challenge for the mind as much for the body.
Entering the event with the constant knowledge that you're going to climb 100 mountains is something that riders must learn to cope with, and adapt to.
As the days passed, Hans Peter came to realise that those power and heart rate figures he had come to be so familiar with in training ceased to have much relevance.
"Knowing that you could climb at X kph when rested and fresh becomes meaningless when the more pressing matter is the weight of knowledge that you have maybe eight hours of the day left to pedal, and eight days left to ride."
As the days passed, Hans Peter learned to manage this ever-present mental pressure via a retreat into an inner world, a mindset removed from computer screens, and training metrics. He adapted to embrace the world around him in all its wonder – the sounds, smells and sights of the Alps. The more he allowed the world to absorb his senses, the temporal and physical elements of the ride became less painful.
For Hans, cycling came to be about images like this – the celebration of the raw beauty of nature, and not the focus on training metrics and times.
By absolving himself from the inner torture of a study of the numbers on his bike computer and instead learning to appreciate the beauty of the real world around him, Hans Peter found a survival and coping mechanism, a blissful retreat into the wider world. The mountains became less about the gradients and distances that concerned his ride partners, but about experience and enlightenment.
"Shut down your Garmin, listen and observe, look at the leaves, the streams, listen to the real world."
For Hans Peter, this change of focus came completely to the forefront on the fifth day of the challenge, which was not only the most physically intimidating of the ten, but also the most mentally intense.
In a stage centred around a triple ascent of the fearsome Mont Ventoux, Hans Peter was wracked with pain from a saddle sore, suffering with the heat and accumulated fatigue, and was close to abandoning. It was only the support of Leslie, his new found, and to become lifelong, friend on the road, that prevented him from terminating a process that felt, at the time, unachievable.
With the support of Leslie, Hans Peter battled through the day, riding kilometer after kilometer until he found himself alone, the last man on the road, facing the final climb of the day: the ascent of Ventoux from Bedoin – one of the single toughest road climbs in France.
During this climb, he experienced an emotive redemption and cleansing that was to change him forever.
Battling with the emotional demons resulting from the loss of several loved ones in recent years, and with his mind full of the family and foster children that he had left at home in Denmark, Hans hauled his exhausted, lactate-ridden body through the darkness of the late evening to the summit of Ventoux.
On reaching the peak of the climb and conclusion of the stage, he broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the emotions that he had fought all day. However, putting himself through that physical and mental battle changed him forever:
"From that day, a lot of things fell into place in my life, and in the final five days of the event, I redefined myself as a cyclist, and I learnt to enjoy and appreciate the ride rather than worrying about watts and cadence – it's about enjoying nature, enjoying real life, and appreciating the world around you and your place within it."
Just as Hans Peter came to cleanse his mental approach to cycling through the ten days, he also came to cleanse his body and refine his approach to the fuel that he used for the rides. He came to rely on what he referred to as 'golden nuggets'; his pre-cut bites of all-natural, unprocessed, ride nutrition that he could snack on through the day.
In the isolation of the high mountains, the bites became more than just an energy source, but a reward mechanism and trusted partner.
The treat and surprise of reaching into a back pocket and randomly drawing one of the three different flavoured chunks became a simple pleasure that Hans anticipated and relished. The nuggets became companions on the road, unfailingly there to renew energy and raise morale.
A 'golden nugget' and the empty road became some of Hans Peter's most reliable companions.
Rapha, the event organisers, provided a plentiful supply of other nutrition to riders of course; however, the synthetic and artificial nature of these products and gels did not sit comfortably with Hans Peter. As the days passed, his fatigued body came to reject their flavours and textures, and in his mind, eating packaged, synthetic products came to feel a type of 'doping'.
One of the rare occasions when Hans Peter decided to take energy gels from a feed station was on that oh-so pertinent final ascent of Mont Ventoux. For Hans, taking these gels and relying on an unnatural source of energy felt wrong in some way; like he was going against his otherwise pure and real experience.
"I felt purer and more self-sufficient with my nuggets…. A gel felt like I was cheating. I wanted to explore my limits, physically and mentally. I didn't want to cheat my mind or my body by 'doping'… to me a gel was like using a lifeline that was not quite legitimate to use."
Those 'golden nuggets' that he had been relying on as a mental and physical crutch – bags of Veloforte Mixed Bites – became the natural nutrition that sat so perfectly alongside the new and natural approach to the bike.
Hans Peter rode out the remaining five days of the challenge after that pivotal stage at Mont Ventoux a new rider – his mindset was totally altered, and a natural complement and necessary part of that was the rejection of everything artificial and synthetic.
Just as Hans Peter's mental approach to cycling became cleansed, so did his attitude to the food he used to fuel himself
Endurance sport of any kind can let you explore far more than the physical. In the case of Hans-Peter Knudsen, his ride through the Cent Cols Challenge unveiled a mental clarity and freedom, and a connection with the real world that can be lost behind over-thought and over-worked processes and product.
This retreat, or indeed, escape back to, the real world, a world before things became overly complicated and technologised, was mirrored in Hans Peters' real food revolution. Rather than mixing with chemical and preservative laden sports nutrition, Hans Peter fuelled his body on the real foods that it had evolved to thrive on.
Hans Peter and Leslie, bathed in the nature that he chose to immerse in - escaping the physical and emotional pressure of riding 100 cols.
Hans-Peter will be riding the Cent Cols Challenge again in 2018, this time in the West Pyrenees. Although the cols will change, the 'golden nuggets' will be there for him, fuelling his ride, enabling him to immerse himself in the real world, and the abundant beauties that it will always provide.
The focus on cadence and watts have passed for Hans Peter, and what remains is one of clarity and mental and physical freedom.
Long may it continue.

okay, so here is the second half of my insanely long thoughts about hugo's depiction of joly and bossuet as monks:
Laigle de Meaux, we know, lived more with Joly than elsewhere. He had a lodging as the bird has a branch. The two friends lived together, ate together, slept together. Everything was in common with them, even Musichetta a little. They were what, among the Chapeau Brothers, are called bini."
in my first post, i talked about the possible interpretation that "frères chapeaux" referred to the brothers of the christian doctrine, a religious order committed to education. here, i'm going to be looking at the word "bini": what it means, and what it says about joly and bossuet.
so, bini. here's how the word is explained in various editions of the brick:
- free online French edition: "Frère chapeau : religieux laïque, portant donc chapeau et non capuchon, attaché au service d'un père de son ordre. C'est pourquoi ils vont par deux : bini." [Lay monk, thus wearing a hat and not a cowl, attached in service to a priest of his order. This is why they come in pairs, ie, "bini."]
- rose: "In certain monastic orders, lay brothers wore a hat instead of a cowel. 'Bini' refers to two who share virtually everything."
- donougher: "Bini is Latin for 'two by two,' junior monks (Hugo uses the term 'frères chapeaux') being required to process in pairs behind the senior dignitaries." (hat tip to notquitelostnotquitefound for providing this note!)
unlike with "frères chapeaux," i'm not going to suggest a totally new definition of the word. rather, i'd like to meditate on the significance of pairs in christian doctrine and specifically in monastic life, and what that might mean for bossuet and joly.
the idea of two same-gender religious figures being paired together in some way has a long history in the church. in the gospel, when jesus sends his twelve disciples out into the community, he does so in pairs:
- "He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits." (NRSV, Mark 6:7)
- the same verse, from the 5th century latin vulgate translation: "Et circumibat castella in circuitu docens et convocavit duodecim et coepit eos mittere binos et dabat illis potestatem spirituum inmundorum."
- see the "binos" there? that's the same word as "bini," only in a different case. (let's be real — i do not know the first thing about latin. but my classicist bud clarabeau does, and she hooked me up. thanks bud!)
following christ's example, early missionaries traveled the roman empire and beyond in pairs of both mixed and same genders. these pairs didn't just work together for reasons of safety or convenience; the church fathers make it clear that there was a spiritual benefit in companionship. we see this argument reproduced in thomas aquinas's caetana aurea, a biblical commentary composed of fragments from earlier commentaries:
- "The disciples of Christ are called two by two [bini], and sent two by two [bini], since charity implies more than one, as it is written, "Woe to him that is alone." [Eccles 4:10] Two persons lead the Israelites out of Egypt: two bring down the bunch of grapes from the Holy Land, that men in authority might ever join together activity and knowledge, and bring forward two commandments from the Two Tables, and be washed from two fountains, and carry the ark of the Lord on two poles, and know the Lord between the two Cherubim, and sing to Him with both mind and spirit." [link]
there's something valuable and holy about working in pairs, then, rather than being alone. certain tasks can only be accomplished through fellowship with a companion.
the importance of pairs in monastic traditions can be traced directly back to these early missionaries. saint francis of assisi, the founder of the franciscan order, sent out his first disciples in the same manner as christ:
- "Then the blessed Francis called them all to himself and told them many things about the kingdom of God, contempt of the world, denial of their own will, and subjection of the body. He separated them into four groups of two each [binos]. Go, my dear brothers, he said to them, two by two [bini et bini] through different parts of the world, announcing peace to the people and penance for the remission of sins." [the life of st francis]
furthermore, bernard of clairvaux, who was influential in shaping the cistercian order, drew a conscious parallel between disciples or missionaries going out into the world "bini et bini" and monks walking "bini et bini" in religious processions:
- "We fittingly process two by two [bini et bini], for the holy gospels bear witness that thus were the disciples sent out by the Savior with the purpose of commending brotherly love and community life. If someone takes it into his head to walk alone, he disturbs the procession and not only harms himself but is a nuisance to others as well. These are people who segregate themselves, animals devoid of the Spirit. They make no effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." [original; translation]
thus, both donougher and the french editor (whose name escapes me) are right in that bini relates to priests walking in pairs during processions. but the meaning of the reference for joly and bossuet becomes all the more powerful when we understand the deep spiritual significance of this choreography. the comfort that joly and bossuet derive from one another's presence, the way that their friendship deepens their commitment to the revolution, the way that they join "activity and knowledge" together in their actions….all of that fits perfectly with monastic partnership.
i should mention that i'm not suggesting that hugo knew about any of this with regards to monastic pairs, or that he intended to make all these specific allusions. hugo's position on monasticism is complicated, in a word, and it's always good to remember that. but i also don't think that this long digression is completely divorced from the canon, either. even if hugo didn't know why some monks walked in pairs, or shared their belongings, he obviously found the fact that they did meaningful. knowing the theological significance only enriches the comparison.
on that note, i thought i'd end with an excerpt from an essay i found about early monasticism in egypt. clearly, hugo had no idea what these monks had been up to over a thousand years earlier, but i still find the comparison with joly and bossuet interesting and powerful:
The monastic literature of late antique Egypt makes frequent reference to two monks living together and being recognized as "brothers." Most prominent are stories where two "brothers" went to the city together to sell their handicraft. When one of them fell into sin with a woman, the other promised to share the burden of the penance. This is depicted as a great example of charity, and indirectly confirms that hagiographers and their audience were familiar with the notion that two monks could share the same spiritual capital as it were, through the act of vicarious penance. This commitment extended even beyond death. Paired monks, as I like to call them, are often reported to have made a promise to one another to be united in death and to be buried in the same tomb, so that their relation may extend into the afterlife (31-32).
going out into the city together! sharing the burden of sexual sin! united in death and for all eternity! i mean, come on. *sniff*
last night, there was a fascinating discussion that floated across my dash about hugo's depiction of bosuset and joly as frères chapeaux, or bini. [link.]
the gist of this conversation, as i understood it, revolved around two related ideas: first of all, what on earth are…

If you take a medication, either prescribed by your doctor or over the counter, are you aware of the side effects? Many chemist-bought drugs can lead to a number of oral deficiencies.
Approximately 140,000 Australians are admitted to hospital each year due to the side effects of medications. A scary statistic keeping in mind the people who 'push through' any drug related side effects by avoiding medical attention. SV Implant Centre Melbourne fear that the pursuit of relief for our bodies can lead the oral condition down a one way road to disease, decay and tooth loss.
Another scary statistic; 60% of Australians who take medication admit to using complementary drugs at least once per year. Usually, people who use complementary drugs do this to amplify the effect or benefit of the medication they have been prescribed. For example: ingesting herbs along with prescribed medicine.
While the theory behind this may be conceptually viable, in reality, it is quite the opposite. Some drugs taken with complementary drugs can either cancel out the effect of the medicine or it may cause a reaction that shows itself in much more severe symptoms (have you ever mixed vinegar and bi-carb soda).
These scenarios can all have a negative impact on your oral health, but that doesn't mean taking medications on their own is a safe way either. The onus comes down to educating yourself about the known side effects by talking to your doctor, reading information about the medication online and trialling how your body reacts to the medication.
The main oral symptoms of medications
The main side effect of most prescription drugs and medications is dry mouth syndrome, also known as xerostomia. While dry mouth is a relatively common medical condition, if left untreated dry mouth can cause numerous problems:
- Oral thrush
- Excessive gum growth causing teeth to shift and/or decay
- Fungal infections
- Speaking & swallowing difficulties and,
- Tooth Loss
Types of Medications
Australians take many different medications for many different purposes that usually, from a dental perspective, fit into 3 broad categories:
- Relief – Used for conditions such as insomnia, nicotine addiction, hay fever, hair loss and appetite suppression
- Maintenance –Used for the management of pain, anxiety, depression, diabetes and water retention.
- Treatment – used to treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, HIV, stroke etc.
Dependent on what condition you have will dictate what medication you take, making the side effects range from minor to severe. However, there are certain steps you can take to make sure you are maintaining optimal oral health.
Steps to Optimal Oral Health
Here at SV Dental Implant Centre located inside the St Vincent Hospital Fitzroy, all we care about is making our patients happy by restoring oral function and aesthetics. We have put together some steps for keeping your mouth healthy if you are taking any medications.
Drink Water. This step may seem simple but is probably the most overlooked. Aim for around 8 glasses per day to keep your mouth hydrated.
Prescribed toothpaste. Brushing your teeth is crucial to oral health, but when medication is reducing the efficiency of your saliva production, you may need a supplement in the form of a specially designed tooth paste. Speak to your dentist about what toothpaste is right for you.
Communicate with your dentist. Don't keep your medications a secret from your dentist. Let him/her know what you are taking and they can then inform you on the best practice.
If you have suffered tooth loss as a result of medication or drug use;

Fears of a nuclear disaster in Japan heightened on Tuesday after radiation levels around its quake-stricken power plant soared following two separate explosions at the complex.
Many of the worrying milestones mapped out by experts have now been passed, with some workers having left the complex and people living within 30 km [18.75 miles] of the site to stay indoors.
Now there is a real possibility of a leak in the reactor container, which houses the nuclear fuel rods, according to Murray Jennex, a professor at San Diego State University in California.
Concerns center on damage to a part of the reactor core known as the suppression pool, which helps to cool and trap the majority of cesium, iodine, strontium in its water. It is unclear what is the nature of the damage and its impact on the integrity of the containment structure, a thick steel vessel that surrounds the core.
It is possible that the containment structure is not damaged, but any damage to the suppression pool could affect the ability to mitigate pressure inside.
Jennex suspects two possible problems: a water leak or perhaps a valve leak. "A valve leak would be better because that would be less difficult to fix than a water leak," he said.
Japan's nuclear crisis now appears worse than the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979 but still nowhere near as bad as the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986.
Neighboring countries could be the first to sound the wider alarm about a major radioactive leak, as happened with Chernobyl. In Japan's case, that would most likely be South Korea, China or Russia.

Dear Stoner: What are sugar leaves? Are they for smoking or eating? I'm embarrassed to ask the budtender.
Dear Meredith: I'm guessing you first came across the term on a dispensary menu or while talking with a pot-shop employee, so don't feel bad about asking a budtender to explain. Potheads tend to get lost in their lingo, and the ganja jargon can get thick. Sugar leaves are the leaves on the marijuana plant close to the plant's flowers, or buds. The flower is where the plant's trichome production takes place, so that's where all the cannabinoids — THC, CBD, CBN, etc. — are located.
Some leaves close to or wrapped around the buds also get some of those cannabinoids, and it's easy to see their sugary presence, hence the name sugar leaves. In addition to processing the leaves into hash, dispensaries will sell them in cheap ounces or pre-rolled joints. Some of my friends will buy sugar leaves to cook with, often making cannabutter or cooking oil. Although you can use the leaves for smoking, all of that chlorophyll can create a harsh, bad-tasting smoke — so buyer beware. But if your wallet is thin, we won't judge!

Wealthy travellers will soon be able to sit in a glass bubble on top of the plane.
This may not be great for nervous flyers, but the see-through dome lets guests shoot through the clouds with an uninterrupted view.
SkyDeck allows super-rich passengers to experience the feeling of flying while staying safely inside the aircraft.
Those pay for the exhilarating experience can choose whether to walk to the "teardrop canopy" via the stairs or shoot up Willy-Wonka style in a glass elevator.
If you want to share the once-in-a-lifetime moment, guests will also have the option between one and two-person pods.
The ultimate window seat also rotates allowing for 360 degrees views of the skies.
The patent for the design is currently pending but it's estimated the pod would cost between US$8m (£5.34m) and US$25Mm (£16.6m) to install depending on the type and size of plane.
The new capsule was unveiled by Windspeed Technologies last month and is set to be made available to VIP aircraft owners, as well as the commercial airline industry, where it could be used as a "pay-per-view" feature.
CEO and inventor Shakil Hussain told Mashable that the thrilling concept was designed to "kill the boredom of long flights".
"The concept attracted a lot of attention at the recent conference of the National Business Aviation Association, in Las Vegas," added Shakil.
"A large aircraft manufacturer in Europe plans to start offering the SkyDeck to potential customers soon."
But are you brave (and rich) enough to ride up top?

In July, for Pugs' birthday (because it was a very impt milestone that marks him squarely middle aged to me…) we had a month of celebrations, the major event being a staycation at New Majestic Hotel. I was surfing around for appropriate places, starting at Sentosa (because ambitious me who cannot swim wanted to go to AdventureCove) but then deciding that New Majestic Hotel was a better option, it being surrounded by good food and in town and accessible to most things. And having stayed at Festive Hotel and Movenpick on Sentosa, I must say that I didn't regret my decision one bit.
For the premium that I would otherwise have paid for a hotel on Sentosa, we got a spacious, beautiful boutique hotel with the cutest, most whimsical, cutest paintings on the wall, and two large bath tubs in the middle of the room.
although i was rather scared off by the scary smiling turtle…
apparently, Pugs claims that this is a girl sitting on the boat… i don't quite see it still.
this was my favouritest favouritest picture. i still smile looking at it. hurhur.
sheep to count if you can't fall asleep. it was so whimsical and so dreamy. mmmm.
nespresso capsules and machine, my lifesaver. there's also a phone with free 3g and local calls which will be most useful for tourists. it was even programmed to greet me with my name. but we left this in the room cos we didn't really have any use of it.
i had decided to splurge (a little bit) and booked a loft room, not the most extravagant choice, but the website photos looked attractive and comfy enough. having said that though, while i would definitely do another staycation there, i don't think i would book a loft room again – just one with the bath tubs will do because we hardly sat in the 'living room' area, and i was terrified of falling off the ladder climbing up and down to bed. still, it was a novel idea and experience to have once. plus, it doesn't help that i'm a klutz and Pugs is… not very small and nimble. still, that's just us and if you wanted space and novelty and a nice loft bed, this was an amazing room.
the scary ladder up to the loft area. the living area is below the loft, with a nice comfy sofa and a barber chair. a real life barber chair (behind the stairs). the tv featured here swivels 180degrees and you could either sit on the sofa, or soak yourself in the bathtub to watch tv (which we did, after connecting Pug's ipad and loaded a happy show).
here's a photo of the wash area. next to the wash area is the toilet, and opposite the toilet across the bath tubs is the shower area. it was a most pleasant experience walking out from the shower into the bath tub. whee. also, just a point of note, one bath tub is larger than the other, as we realised after Pugs was squished in one and i happily waddled around in mine, laughing at Pugs for being too large for the tub, before we swapped around the next day and I had to concede that his tub was indeed smaller than mine.
it was a most pleasant two days. we lazed around alot, ate alot, and walked around the area which is in a nice heritage area with interesting shophouses and shops. because Pugs had ordered flowers to surprise me with in the room, the hotel even supplemented it with a nice card and a small music box. They were also most prompt with responding to all my queries, regarding parking (although in the end we didn't drive), check in and check out time and all that.
Would definitely recommend this happifying comfortable hotel. Unfortunately, we didn't have time (or tummy space) to try the chinese restaurant, which I had tried once before, but we will probably find time to go back another time. We also didn't take many photos of the lobby (or at all), but the lobby is most interesting with the most fascinating furniture remodelled from things like old trolleys or with the most artistic designs. There's even a trishaw thingy in the lobby.

Does Your Company Walk the Diversity Talk?
Many workplaces pride themselves on being promoters of gender diversity and inclusion, but how many of our own employers have female leaders, managers or CEOs?
If you were to list the names of your employer's current senior leaders, how many of them would be female? How many travel industry companies actually Walk the Diversity Talk?
According to the Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, not many. Women continue to be underrepresented in the highest paying occupations and women make up less than 1 in 3 chief executives overall, their statistics show. Although the wage gap issue has received extensive media coverage and people continue to discuss equality in pay (#equalpay), where is the glass ceiling in the travel industry?
While overall numbers specifically for the travel industry are hard to find, according to hospitality advisory firm AETHOS Consulting Group's 2015 Hotel CEO Turnover Study, "No matter where you are in the world, the CEO is likely to be a man in his early fifties and degree educated."
The Centre for Aviation (CAPA) reported last year that 94% of airlines are run by men. In 2010, there were 15 airlines that promoted women to the role of CEO or Managing Director. The number in 2015 was just 18.
When reviewing statistics for all industries on a global scale, senior business leadership that is female stands at 24%, according to a survey of more than 5,000 companies by Grant Thornton of London announced in March. The number of firms with no women in senior management positions is up slighting from 2015 – 33% compared to 32% last year, the report says.
"We know that businesses with diverse workforces can outperform their more homogenous peers and are better positioned to adapt to a rapidly changing global business environment," Grant Thornton's CEO, Sacha Romanovitch, told Forbes following release of the report. "Within the context of increased uncertainty and complexity, firms must resist group-think and welcome a range of perspectives in order to grow and meet the challenges of today."
And in case you were wondering, Romanovitch is a woman.
Their report also finds that earning a higher salary is a larger motivator for women to seek leadership roles than it is for men (28% compared to 21%). And the overall skills needed to lead are also perceived differently – women see listening and engaging in dialogue as necessary skills, while men are more likely to focus on the ability to broadcast messages.
What can we do about it?
Ready to change these numbers? WINiT has created a multitude of resources for those who are looking to build connections with female leaders or to hire female staff for their travel companies. WINiT's Career Board also has a repository of searchable resumes from current members looking for new opportunities. If your company has open leadership positions, it's a great place to start the search for a new hire with valuable industry experience.
And if evaluating your current company's leadership prompts the need for a change, upload your resume to the site so that progressive companies can find you.
Changing what seems like an insurmountable issue can take time, but building the momentum to drive that change always starts with a single step. Begin with www.womenintravel.org.

How to Build a Table Saw Workstation
Have you always wanted to have your own table saw, but couldn't afford it or find enough room? Maybe you are not sure how to build a table saw workstation and how much time it would take you? Well, don't worry, we've got you covered!
Check here if you are looking to purchase a good table saw. We evaluated the top 5 options on the market today.
In a few simple and easy to follow steps, we are going to show you how to build a knockdown table saw system. The advantage of this system is that you can quickly set it up and when you are finished, you can easily dismantle everything and have your space again. You can even hang your workstation on your wall.
Before you get started, we need to tell you that this DIY project will cost you about $150 and takes about one weekend to complete. The tools you will need include a drill, a circular saw, a jigsaw, sander, and of course the table saw itself.
As for the materials, you will need plywood, polyurethane, and sandpaper (150 grit).
How to Build a Table Saw Workstation: Step by Step
Step 1: Make the table parts
First, you need to make panels for your workstation. For this, you will need four plywood sheets. We recommend using hardwood plywood, made from oak.
Use separate sheets for side and the end panels. Use the same sheet to make the outfeed top and its end panel. From what is left, you can make the supports, struts, feet, and trays.
Step 2: Cutting notches—the most important step in building a table saw workstation
Now it's time for the most important part of this project—the notches. When making them you have to be extremely accurate, because this table saw is based on interlocking notches.
To ensure easy setup and dismantle of your table saw make sure that the notches are 1/32" wider than the plywood. This will also make your table rigid.
Each notch should be exactly the same. The top of every part must line up, so you can have a work surface that is flat. Make several cuts for every notch, keeping 1/8" between cuts.
Finally, use a chisel to cut out the scraps of plywood. Smooth each notch with the file.
Step 3: Assembling the sides
Next, you need to do make the arches. Trace them on the back and front panels, and on the sides.
Once you have traced them cut them using a jigsaw. Side panels should have a 30" radius, while end panels should have a 24-1/2" radius. These arches will make your table saw look nicer, and be more compact.
To finish the side panels, nail and glue cleats over rear notches. Then, cut the struts and notch them so the outfeed table can be put into place.
Finally, nail and glue the supports to the struts. Do this on their inner sides.
Step 4: Making the feet
Time to make the table feet. Cut out the small parts from the plywood and then nail and glue them. Make sure that the edges are aligned and that they sit flat.
When you are done, use the belt sander or jigsaw to round over the outer corners.
Step 5: Finish and call it a day
After you are done making the feet, you can now place the strut support for the placement of the outfeed table. Take your plywood top and nail and glue it to these supports. This will make sure the struts are secured in their spot and that they won't make trouble during the setup and dismantle.
The outfeed table shouldn't stick above or under the table sides. Make sure that your front panel is also aligned with the table sides. In case that any notch is too tight, widen it using a file. On the other hand, if a notch is deeper than it should, use a glue to place a thin shim in the base.
Finally, drill holes to house trays and hanger holes so you can put away everything on a wall. For this drilling process use the hole saw.
If you want to make your table saw look nicer and to reduce the splintering on the edges, round over the parts edges with a router.
Finally, use the sandpaper on the plywood, vacuum it, and apply polyurethane over everything. Polyurethane will help with the warping when humidity changes. As a bonus, it makes everything look great.
All that is left is to install a saw on your workstation and you have yourself a table saw workstation. Well done!
This 5-step building process will help you to build your own table saw workstation. It is an affordable solution that will preserve your space.
Now, you don't need to ask yourself how to build a table saw workstation. What you should be asking is, when do I start?
