Our aspiration is to achieve net zero emissions in our transport operations by the year 2050. This means improving efficiency in the area of transportation and decoupling the link between emissions and transport volumes. Optimizing our routes and modernizing our air and road vehicle fleets are just two of the ways we do this.
Environmental & climate protectionPwC
GoGreen, our Group-wide environmental protection program, showcases our innovative strength in the area of sustainability. The GoGreen program includes a diverse range of innovative measures that make lasting contributions to improving our carbon efficiencyA ratio index used by Deutsche Post DHL Group to manage the greenhouse gas emissions of its business operations, whereby emissions resulting from fuel and energy consumption are assessed in relation to services rendered (e.g. quantities/volumes of letters, parcels, pallets or containers). and reducing air pollution and noise. In 2016 we achieved our efficiency goal set back in 2008. We have now begun working towards a new long-term aspiration: to reduce all transport-related emissions to net zero by 2050. Based on our 2050 aspiration, we have defined four strategic interim goals to be achieved by the year 2025. These interim goals cover four main aspects: global emissions, local emissions, green solutions and employee engagement.
When considering greenhouse gas emissions, we include not only the direct emissions generated by our own fleet and buildings, but also the indirect emissions from our transportation subcontractors, which account for the largest share of the Group's overall emissions. The focus areas of our GoGreen program are identified together with our stakeholders and defined in our Group-wide Environmental and Energy Policy; our environmental management system, in turn, ensures implementation of this policy. These focus areas include fuel and energy efficiency, the Group's environmentally-friendly products as well as raising awareness and training employees in the area of energy and environment.
We consider natural resource consumption and biodiversity to be lower-priority focus areas. Our business activity does not involve intensive use of water or wood, nor does it generate significant waste. Furthermore, our sites and activities do not have a significant impact on biodiversity. Independent of our environmental protection priorities and main action areas, we of course always act in accordance with existing environmental laws and regulations.
Our activities in the area of environmental protection have received top ratings from leading supplier evaluation platforms as well as from the largest and most influential CR rating agencies.
Environmental issues anchored in Group policiesPwC
In addition to our Environmental and Energy Policy, we have also included environmental issues in other key Group policies. This puts us in position to achieve the ambitious goals set by our environmental protection program.
- Investment Policy: One of the functions of this policy is to ensure that any new acquisitions are more carbon efficient or environmentally-friendly than existing assets.
- Biofuel Policy: This policy prohibits the use of biofuels that negatively impact local food production in the countries where they are produced.
- Paper Policy: The Paper Policy requires us to purchase recycled paper whenever certified recycled paper is available on the local market. The full policy is available for download.
Improving fuel and energy efficiencyPwC
Efficiency principle
A comparison of the various modes of transport – including air, road, rail and ocean – reveals that air transport produces the greatest share of both greenhouse gas emissions and the local air pollutant sulfur dioxide (SO2). In the case of road transport, greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter (PM10) emerge as the most relevant factors. As part of our efforts to reduce local air pollutant emissions, one of our interim goals is to operate 70% of our own first and last mile services with clean pick-up and delivery solutions, including bicycles and e-mobility.
Green products optimize our customers' environmental performancePwC
Through our GoGreen Solutions customers benefit from our environmental protection expertise and – in the spirit of Shared ValueWith our shared value approach, our portfolio of environmentally friendly GoGreen products and diverse carbon efficiency measures allows us to follow through on our responsibility to society and the environment while enhancing the success of our business at the same time. – receive valuable support in optimizing the environmental efficiency of their own business processes. More and more customers today request environmentally-friendly transportation services or award their business to providers who have environmental management systems and measures in place.
In line with our vision for net zero transport-related emissions by 2050, we want more than 50% of our sales to incorporate Green Solutions by 2025, making our customers' supply chains greener.
Turning employees into multipliersPwC
Our employees play a critical role in realizing our environmental goals, which is why one of our new interim goals focuses on training 80% of our workforce to become certified GoGreen specialists and actively involving them in our environmental and climate protection activities. This includes joining partners to plant one million trees each year as part of our commitment to forest conservation.
Standardized energy and environmental management processesPwC
We maintain over 12,000 sites worldwide – including office buildings, mail and parcel centers and logistics warehouses, as well as Packstations and drop-off points. Awareness with regard to the environment and climate is integral to all operational processes at our sites. As part of the Group's own internal environmental management process – the 6-Step Approach – we are engaged in a continuous improvement process, constantly developing and implementing improvement measures to help us achieve our environmental targets. The process steps are based on the ISO 14001 standard.
Of the 10,307 sites suitable for external certification, some 4,990 were certified according to ISO 14001Standard with internationally recognized requirements for environmental management systems covering such things as life cycle assessments, environmental indicators and environmental performance evaluations. in the reporting year. This represents approximately 48% of our sites, eight percentage points fewer than in the previous year. This decrease is attributable to an 11% increase in the number of our sites, which were included in the year's calculations. An additional effect was our increased focus on the ISO 50001 energy management standard in Europe – in the reporting year we were able to certify 4,975 of our sites according to ISO 50001.

Kansas needs to capitalize on wind
Kansas learned last week that it's second only to Texas among states for its potential wind generation, according to a new report co-authored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Now, the state and its leaders, with help from Congress, should take the second-place status and run with it, turning that potential into power, jobs and profits.
The DOE study tripled the nation's wind capacity to 37 million gigawatt-hours of electricity a year, reflecting the vast technological improvements in wind turbines, which are getting taller and more powerful. As of 2008, only 52,000 gigawatt-hours were coming from wind turbines.
With Kansas in a position to generate 3.6 million gigawatt hours of the nation's future electricity from wind, up from old estimates of 1 million gigawatt hours, the economic development possibilities for the state suddenly seem limitless.
Among Kansas' assets are its topography and available land, according to Michael Brower, a principal in consulting firm AWS Truewind, which contributed to the DOE study. He said Kansas could become a major exporter of wind power to the markets of Denver, St. Louis and northern Texas.
"Just about anywhere you throw a dart at the map, you find a decent wind project site" in Kansas, Brower told The Eagle.
Of course, siting a wind farm or transmission lines is far harder than throwing a dart at a map. So is paying for them, especially in this economy.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., told a Garden City crowd last week, "We're No. 2 in the nation for wind energy, but we don't have the power lines to take it to market."
The American Wind Energy Association also reported earlier this month that wind equipment manufacturers are cutting jobs amid sluggish demand, as the industry waits on Congress to pass a renewable energy standard.
Brownback said he supports a renewable energy standard, as does Gov. Mark Parkinson, who says it "will have states turning to Kansas to purchase renewable energy."
But an RES — under which utilities would ramp up the percentage of their power from renewable sources over a period of time — needs to be strong to be effective. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told governors over the weekend that, thanks in part to the stimulus bill, renewable sources already are on pace to supply perhaps 17 percent of the nation's electricity. That would exceed the RES passed by the House as part of the cap-and-trade bill and the 15 percent target by 2021 (including 4 percent from energy efficiency) that Brownback voted for last year in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Chu called for a more aggressive RES, perhaps 20 percent by 2020.
"We can be the Saudi Arabia of wind," Brownback has said. Before he retires from the Senate, Brownback could do Kansans a big favor and help lead a bipartisan push to pass a meaningful renewable energy standard.


text: Las Vegas (the Meadows or grassland) was a name given by the Spaniards who used water in the area while heading north and west along the Old Spanish Trail from Texas. In the 1800.s areas of Las Vegas Valley contained artesian wells that supported extensive green areas or meadows.John Freemont travelled into the valley in 1844 when it was still part of Mexico. He was a leader of a group of scientists, scouts and observers for the U S Army Corps.In 1855 following the annexation to the U S, Brigham Young sent 30 Mormon missionaries to convert the Paiuti Indian population. A fort was built near the current down town area, serving as a stopover for travellers between Salt Lake City and a colony at San Bernardino, California.Las Vegas established itself as a railroad town in 1905 when 110 acres were sold off. Paris Las Vegas Resort and Casino is located on the Las Vegas Strip .It opened in 1999, is operated by Harrah's Entertainment and has 2915 rooms. It includes a half size replica of the Eiffel Tower, a two thirds size Arc de Triomphe and a neon sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon. The Paris is linked to its sister property, Bally's Las Vegas by a promenade. Originally, the Eiffel Tower copy was intended to be a full scale replica but this was not possible due to the close proximity of McCarran International Airport. You can take elevators to the top of the tower, which is nearly fifty storeys above the ground. As Paris Las Vegas is located on the heart of the Strip you have great views from the observation deck which stands at 460 feet. In particular, the night time views of the city and the Bellagio Fountains are brilliant.

I wanted to show you my medicine cabinet organization. I don't actually use this for medicine storage, but I use it for some beauty and skincare products.
This is what it looks like closed. It is mirrored and has 2 opening doors and one that pulls down. I only store things in the top cabinet, so that's the part that I'll show you. And by the way, those are finding nemo pictures underneath it! (We have a very "underwater" theme going on in my bathroom)
This is the overview. It's kind of a mess on the left side, but that's okay! I'll organize it a little bit more later.
This is the top shelf. Starting from left to right... Bandaids then cleansing pads that I used when I had a neutrogena wave. Then I have three different types of sunscreens. I have a sweet pea shower gel, a winter candy apple shower gel, a pink sugarplum shower gel, and a vanilla bean noel shower gel. Then I have hand soaps. I have a white citrus, two cucumber melon, and one fresh strawberry. Then I have a johnsons baby shampoo and another shampoo.
This is the bottom shelf. From left to right again. There is a box of my contacts, 2 things of band aids (princess and angry birds). There are more sun screens (mostly neutrogena). Then I have a healthy sexy hair shampoo and a healthy sexy hair conditioner. Three things of hair color and my travel toiletries bag.
I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know what you keep in your medicine or beauty cabinet in the comments below!

As I mentioned last time, it's been a hard season for forest babies: no eaglet, no owlet, no bushtit-lets. After realizing this wouldn't be the year for any of them, it took a while to recalibrate my attention toward the less conspicuous developments of spring nesting, those subtle clues to smaller dramas. On closer inspection, the Black-capped Chickadee hopping through the hawthornes turned out to be gleaning nutritious protein for its children, hidden somewhere in nearby shrubbery but peeping insistently for their forthcoming meal.
From the book: Albatross
"How would it feel to fly as an albatross, to feel the wind under my wings, stretched luxuriously out to my sides, borne aloft by a cushioning wind? Would it feel like swinging on my childhood swingset, the brief and easy pumping of my little legs carrying me higher and yet higher into the free blue sky, the air swooshing past my chest? Or would it feel more like riding my bike downhill on a wide path, holding my arms out to the sides as gravity pulls me along? I held out my arms to practice."

|MUFG Union Bank
$1.27 Million AHP Grant*
East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) builds healthy, vibrant, and safe neighborhoods in Oakland and the greater East Bay. EBALDC's Lion Creek Crossings affordable housing development, located in an area with some of the lowest incomes in the region, is a catalyst for community renewal and a place where families and seniors have an opportunity to connect with one another and with services and programs that help them thrive.
"This location was one of the most dangerous places in Northern California for many years," says Josh Simon, Executive Director of EBALDC. "There was a dire need to find a way to rebuild the community, without displacing any of the people who were already here." EBALDC undertook the ambitious redevelopment project, divided into five phases, in partnership with the Oakland Housing Authority and Related Companies of California.
Replacing a notorious 1960s-era public housing project, Lion Creek Crossings is an attractive, open, and expansive complex that features new streets and infrastructure, 5.7 acres of new city park space with a creek restored to environmental health, a basketball court and numerous play areas, and 15,000 square feet of space dedicated to nonprofit social service providers and programs.
Residents have access to two childcare centers, the Lion's Pride afterschool and summer programs, healthcare services, computer labs and free high speed internet, financial education, organized social activities for seniors and families, a year-round free lunch program for children, and more. Some services, including the Head Start daycare facility, are also made available to the surrounding community.
Resident Ann Hampton, 68, owned a house in East Oakland for 42 years. In the wake of the financial crisis she found herself with a mortgage that was underwater. After learning that the department in the bank where she worked was going to be phased out, she was advised by a realtor friend to consider a short sale. "I owned a home that I stayed in for so many years," she says. "I did the short sale because I couldn't afford to pay the notes, and I was so stressed out." Luckily, the realtor made sure that the buyer would let her stay in the home as a renter until she found a new place to live.
Having lived in the vicinity for such a long time, Ann was familiar with the infamous housing project that once stood in the shadow of the Oakland Coliseum, officially called Coliseum Gardens but better known as 69 Ville or The Village. So she was more than a little skeptical when told by her daughter-in-law that applications were being accepted for brand new apartments for seniors on the old site. "I said 'Where? Oh no, I don't want to live over there – that's the worst place in Oakland.'" Persuaded to go take a look, she was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. "I said, 'That's the place I want to live. I would love to live there.'"
Danette Briscoe, 51, was raising her three children not far from the future site of Lion Creek Crossings when she heard about the new development. "Where we were before there was a lot of drug dealing and everything going on right outside our door," she says. "And I was struggling to pay this rent that kept going up and up. It was killing me." She put her name on the list for a family apartment at the brand new complex and was thrilled when she was approved for a beautiful three-bedroom apartment. The affordability – she pays 30% of her income in rent – allows her to make caring for 17-year old son Kevon, who has special needs, her main priority. "I'm able to stay home as much as possible with my son and still afford to pay the bills," she says. Her four-person household also includes a 12-year-old daughter and another son, 24.
Both Danette and Ann are well-known – and much beloved – for throwing themselves whole-heartedly into the life of the Lion Creek community, volunteering in myriad ways to support both community programs and their nearest neighbors. Danette makes time to help with the afterschool program and to take the small kids to school in the morning. "They call me the walking school bus," she laughs. She's also famous for the string beans and fried fish she traditionally brings to block parties and other events, and is reliably one of the first to raise her hand to help with all kinds of community activities.
Ann is vice chair of the resident association she helped to found for the seniors building. "When I got here I said to myself, I'm almost 70 years old but I don't want to just sit down." In addition to her work with the resident association – planning trips and social activities, bringing in educational resources, cooking for parties, and helping distribute groceries from the Mercy Brown Bag elder care program twice a month, among other things – she volunteers as a senior companion with the City of Oakland, regularly taking clients from the surrounding neighborhood to doctor appointments or shopping. "I am busier now than before, but I truly enjoy helping people," she says.
For seniors especially, residential amenities that facilitate connection and interaction are key to healthy living. In the Lion Creek Crossings seniors building, even the hallways and the mailbox areas are purposefully designed to be places where people can congregate. "If you look at how many lounge areas this building has, it shows that one of the things we know is that seniors with highly developed social networks – who have opportunities to play bridge or mahjong together, for example – do better cognitively and otherwise over time," says Ener Chiu, Associate Director of Real Estate Development at EBALDC, who was the project manager for the development.
FHLBank San Francisco member MUFG Union Bank provided $18 million in construction financing and $6 million in permanent mortgage financing. For the fifth phase of the project, construction of an apartment building for seniors, Union Bank also secured and delivered a $1.27 million AHP grant. "Union Bank wants to have a very active role in the communities we serve, and affordable housing is a big part of that mandate," says William 'Terce' Sandifer, Managing Director and Head of Originations. "It's something we take very seriously and feel great about. We're incredibly proud of the role we play in financing communities like Lion Creek Crossings."
*The Lion Creek Crossings project also received $1.10 million in AHP funding through member Pacific Western Bank and $525,000 in AHP funding through member Far East National Bank.

In 2006, I was working as a personal assistant and cook in the homes of some of New York's wealthiest residents. While it was fun to spend the day shopping for and then cooking meals in beautiful kitchens, it was truly exhausting work. I liked the playing with food part. I enjoyed feeding people. I really loved knowing that a family too busy to cook, was sitting down to a nutritious home-cooked meal that I had prepared with care. But standing on my feet for 8 sweaty hours in a blazing kitchen with the oven and 4 burners firing wasn't really a sustainable career path for me.
A few years earlier, I had worked with a Health Coach on my own health transformation. I knew I wanted to go into health coaching myself and teach people how to prepare the healthy food I was cooking for my clients, but I was really afraid of opening my own business. I was working in an agency that took care of all the client bookings, payments, and marketing. I didn't know anything about running a business, and couldn't imagine being responsible for making my own money.
After attending an Open House at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition – the school I wanted to attend – my fears were assuaged and I registered for enrollment in the class of 2007. At that time, classes were taught in person in the auditorium of the Time Warner center in NYC. Once a month, several hundred of the shiniest, happiest people I have ever seen, took planes, trains, and automobiles from around the globe, to learn from integrative health leaders such as Deepak Chopra, Annemarie Colbin, Debbie Ford, and Michio Kushi. The classes were electrified, edifying, and inspiring.
More than just teaching nutrition courses though, IIN takes students on a journey to know themselves, their dreams, their beliefs and their fears. If you go in thinking you will learn about protein, carbs and fats, you come out having conquered your life-long fear of public speaking, as well as understanding why you always pick the same fight with your husband!
And yes, IIN also teaches students how to coach people, how to run a business, how to design a website, how to market yourself, how to find your tribe of clients and much, much more. (Some of that is taught in the 2nd year of the program, which is offered to students for free!)
For the past few years, IIN classes have been taught entirely online to thousands of students around the world. Considering you are trained and ready to see clients in under a year, and given all the materials you need to start from the get-go, (including your fully loaded and designed website with lifetime hosting!), tuition is remarkably affordable.
In case you couldn't tell from this post, you can color me 100%, more than satisfied, with my IIN experience. As for my feelings about my career as a health coach, just look through the 3 years of blog posts on this website to see how I feel about this amazing career where I get to help people change their lives and the lives of their families. (And it's a lot less sweaty than standing over that hot stove for 8 hours a day!!)
If any of you are interested in hearing more about the school, or have questions about health coaching as a career, please email me and we will set up a time to Skype: firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you already know you want to attend, speak to me (or any IIN grad) first, as many of us are given discounts to pass along.

Wednesday Healing Service?
Dear Church Cat,
When is the next healing Wednesday night service?
Thanks, Jan
Dear Jan:
St. Philip's holds a Holy Eucharistic service in our Chapel each Wednesday at 5:30 pm. On the 1st Wednesday of each month, the Sacrament of Healing is offered as part of the service.
For those who may not know, the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) has a section known as the "Ministration to the Sick". Prayers for healing, also known as Holy Unction, is intended to help the healing of body, mind or spirit. Holy Unction is one of the sacramental rites guided by the Holy Spirit. Healing may also be sought for relationships that are in distress or for strength and guidance at some specific crossroad of life. The priest will make the sign of the cross in Holy Oil on your forehead, will lay hands on your head, and will pray softly (to insure your privacy) for God's blessing. It is available to those who are not members of the Episcopal Church as well as to members.
The Church Cat prays that everyone in distress of body, mind or spirit seek out this important sacrament either by partaking in the 1st Wednesday of the month service or by appointment with our priest.
+Peace, The Church Cat

Sydney & Simon: Go GREEN!
By: Paul A. Reynolds / Illustrated by: Peter H. Reynolds
Creative problem-solvers never give up!
Last we saw them, Sydney & Simon used science, technology, engineering, arts, and math skills to save wilting flowers in their window box. Now the twin mice are back to apply STEAM thinking to recycling!
During a class field trip to the Aquarium, Sydney is upset when she realizes that a green sea turtle has been harmed by garbage that made its way to the ocean. She must convince Simon that even if others don't intend to litter, the garbage everyone puts in a trashcan may accidentally get swept into sewers, streams, rivers, and possibly end up in the ocean.
The twins collects data on the trash habits of their household and school and find they are all part of the problem! They need to figure out a way that their family, their neighborhood, and their school can cut down on garbage production and make better use of their discarded items.
Short chapters paired with Peter H. Reynolds's lively illustrations will inspire readers to take a closer look at their recycling habits and implement small changes to make a big difference.
Look Inside the Book:
Author & Illustrator Bios:Paul A. Reynolds, author
Paul A. Reynolds's childhood home was as lively as Sydney and Simon's. His family's ginormous supply of pencils, paper, books, and art was referred to as "the creativity tools." Today Paul exercises his imagination at FableVision Studios, a media company he founded with his twin brother, Peter. Together they create storytelling technology, such as websites, games, and animated films. Paul is also the author of the children's book Going Places. He lives in Dedham, Massachusetts, where his wife manages The Blue Bunny, the family's bookstore.
Read more about Paul.
Peter H. Reynolds, illustrator
Peter H. Reynolds learned early on that two minds are better than one. Like his twin, Paul, he believes that the arts help us solve problems and understand the world. Peter has written and illustrated many books for children, including The Dot, Ish, and The Smallest Gift of Christmas. He also illustrates Megan McDonald's Judy Moody series. Peter lives in Dedham, Massachusetts, where his wife runs an art gallery just across the street from The Blue Bunny.

Editorial Reviews:
Kirkus Reviews
In their second STEAM-powered exploration (Full STEAM Ahead!, 2014), mouse twins Sydney and Simon investigate the problem of garbage.
Sydney's foray into trash tracking starts with a field trip to the aquarium, where a green sea turtle is recuperating after eating plastic. It doesn't take much of a leap for Sydney to make a connection: "The more trash we make, the more there's a chance that some of that trash could end up in the ocean." The two keep a tally of their family's trash for a week, and the results are eye-opening. Their school is an even larger garbage generator. Ms. Fractalini helps the twins use science, technology, engineering, arts, and math to come up with a way to raise awareness and encourage the community to participate in a solution. A sculpture of Greenie the turtle made out of trash and a song about going green are the start of a communitywide movement to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Along the way, readers will learn lots about decomposition, how quickly garbage adds up, and ways to reduce trash. Ink-and-watercolor-wash illustrations help break up the text and put pictures in readers' heads that will stick with them, making them likely to want to get on the green bandwagon.
Though STEAM is not emphasized as much as it was in the first book, that's not a bad thing, as it helps readers to focus on Sydney and Simon's problem-solving, which they are likely to see as quite doable in their own communities.
After visiting an aquarium and meeting a sea turtle who had gotten sick from eating plastic, Sydney decides that she must take some action to keep trash out of the oceans. With her twin brother, Simon, she embarks on a campaign to learn more about trash and to get her community to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Simple, engaging chapters and colorful illustrations make this book a pleasure to read. The topic of environmental awareness is an important one and the book showcases the fact that everyone can make a difference.
School Library Journal
Sydney meets Greenie the sea turtle during a field trip to the aquarium. Greenie has been harmed by plastic waste that has made its way into the ocean. Sydney returns home and begins to track her family's trash production. From there, she finds out, with the help of custodian Mr. Clutterbuck, that her school produces an enormous amount of waste. Her campaign inspires an original song as well as a series of major changes in waste management and recycling at the school. In the end, Greenie is ready to be returned to the ocean and Sydney and Simon pledge to help everyone "Go Green!" The highly approachable text is beautifully complemented by Reynolds's artwork. VERDICT A well-constructed introduction to the dangers facing the environment from human carelessness.

Whitman's student-run weekly newspaper, The Pioneer, has been recognized as a Pacemaker finalist for the second year in a row.
The Pacemaker is the highest honor offered by the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP). Colleges and universities from across the country compete for the award each year.
Editor-in-chief Rachel Alexander '13, a politics-environmental studies major from Seattle, Wash., reports that this recognition is the result of hard work from all the members of the Pioneer web staff.
"Webmaster Ben Schaefer '14 and web editor Blair Hanley Frank '13 have worked tirelessly to respond to feedback about the site and develop new features for it, while web content editors Aleida Fernandez '15 and Shelly Le '14 have insured a consistent stream of high-quality content," she said. "I think this award also reflects the work our photography team has been putting into video projects this year."
The Pioneer website was designed by alumna Rebecca Fish '11. It has won Best of Show among weekly four-year college newspapers at ACP National Journalism Conventions in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
"I'm honored to be recognized for the second year in a row, and I'm excited that the work Whitman's student journalists produce is receiving national attention," Alexander said. "I hope this year we can bring home a Pacemaker after the fall ACP convention."

Even though recent scientific studies show that global warming has nothing to do with California's multi-year drought, a new survey shows that nearly two-thirds of residents believe it does. The statewide survey, which was conducted in mid-July by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and released July 29, cited that the most pressing issues facing Californians were the current drought and water supply.
Notably, 66 percent of Democrats are more likely than Independents (51%) to call the threat of global warming to California's future "very serious," while only 26 percent of Republicans hold that view. Mark Baldassare, PPIC president and CEO, said "The threat of global warming to the state's future is a shared belief among inland and coastal residents and Californians across racial and ethnic groups. But there are persistent partisan divisions on climate change."
Sixty-four percent of respondents said that global warming has contributed to the drought, while "28 percent say it has not." Of the 64 percent, there was also a deep divide along party lines: "78 percent of Democrats say global warming has contributed to the drought and 62 percent of Republicans say it has not." When residents were asked how concerned they were on the possible impact of global warming on droughts, "84 percent of residents say they are concerned (50% very concerned, 34% somewhat concerned) about droughts that are more severe."
It's highly likely that much of this scientific misinformation and fear stems from Gov. Jerry Brown attributing global warming to California's drought (it's not) and a complacent media, his most recent being July 21. Brown is also on record for blaming climate change on everything from so-called 'extreme weather' to wildfires to mankind's eventual extinction.
During a recent visit at a Vatican climate summit last week, Brown said, "God is not mocked…And what St. Paul said in reference to God, we can also say about God's creation. We have heard what we're doing to that creation, what a trillion tons of CO2 and greenhouse gases will do. And that text that God is not mocked is not susceptible to compromises, to regrets. It's inexorable, it's absolutes."
Reason Magazine reports that Brown "stepped up the ad hominem attacks on his climate-policy critics — accusing them of spending millions of dollars promoting propaganda and of 'falsifying the scientific record' (even though some scientists who promote global warming also have been accused of manipulating data.)" Embracing the hell-and-brimstone tenor of the Old Testament, Brown thundered that the Earth has already reached its "tipping point," and the climate is changing too rapidly to reverse course. "Humanity," Brown announced at the summit, "may face extinction." Wow.
Brown also trotted out the misleading trope that well-funded Republican politicians and business interests are spending "billions on trying to keep from office people such as yourselves and elect troglodytes and other deniers of the obvious science." Keep in mind that 13 corporations have just signed the White House's American Business Act on Climate Pledge Monday, pledging at least $140 billion toward the president's green agenda. One of the companies, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, pledged to close down 75 coal-fired power plants, likely passing on the costs to consumers.
The survey also asked about the Governor's water restrictions, which mandate a 25 percent statewide reduction in water use, "Californians are most likely (46%) to say this action does the 'right amount' to respond to the drought, while 36 percent say it is 'not enough' of a response." Only 11 percent think it is too much.
Most of the respondents also said they supported state and local measures to save water, even though 64 percent say they're unsure what the targets are they are trying to achieve. That's because "conservation mandates vary widely, from a low of 4 percent required savings, all the way up to 36 percent."
In general, over half (55%) of likely voters approve of Gov. Brown's job so far, and 48% approve of how he handles environmental issues. Residents, however, have a much lower approval rating (32%) of those working in the California legislature.
Californians are generally supportive of Brown's water-restriction policies (even if the mandates are murky), the state's efforts to limit emissions using a questionable cap-and-trade scheme, and other proposals now passed into law. As is the case in most surveys, a majority of respondents favored positive environmental goals, like clean air, less pollution, and pristine water.
But those goals become increasingly difficult to achieve when a Governor resorts to name-calling, dictatorial edicts, and wrath-of-God retribution. Behavior that any pope should denounce immediately.

An Analysis of Adolescents Science Interest and Competence in Programs with and without a Competitive Component
An Analysis of Adolescents Science Interest and Competence in Programs with and without a Competitive Component - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
Journal of Agricultural Education, v56 n4 p90-106 2015
The exploratory study examined science interest and perceived science competency in middle and high school youth (N=116) who took part in science-related contests (n=49) and non-competitive special interest science programs (n=67). Study participants were dispersed between females (48.3%) and males (51.7%). Three-fourths (75.1%) of the participants belonged to the racial category, white. The majority of youth attracted to science-related professions selected medicine and science and engineering as the top choices. Both science interest and science competence were high among youth in the study. Analysis of science competency indicated a statistically significant difference between girls and boys, with girls scoring higher than boys. The difference in scores between youth participating in competitive programs and non-competitive programs was also statistically significant. As a result of this study, it is recommended that high-quality, cutting edge, hands-on programs are offered to youth in both middle school and high school that emphasize science and provide opportunities for self-challenge as well as challenge against others.

Leipheimer gets Armstrong's Olympic slot
USA Cycling chooses Leipheimer to replace Armstrong
USA Cycling will send Levi Leipheimer to next month's Athens Olympics, replacing Lance Armstrong, who last week said he would skip the Olympics to spend time with his family.
"Levi's addition to the team is an obvious testament to the depth of American cycling talent," USA Cycling CEO Gerard Bisceglia said. "Lance's departure is understandable and we certainly respect his decision to withdraw himself from the Olympics. Having the luxury to replace him with someone of Levi's caliber allows us to maintain a powerful team with a proven veteran."
Floyd Landis was next in line in the selection process, and Fred Rodriguez is the USPRO champion, but the unusual circumstances left the selection to the team's coaching staff. Leipheimer, 30, is riding for Rabobank in the Tour de France.
The full squad will be Tyler Hamilton, George Hincapie, Bobby Julich, Jason McCartney, and Leipheimer.

I don't know what the Athens Olympic circuit is like but the sort of race these events turn into become sort of Amstel Gold like, ie not so lumpy that roulers get spat out by the climbers but not pan flat either. Your Zabel, Boogerd or Friere are likely to do well and in the USA's case that means Hincapie is probably their best chance.

Indian F&B industry has witnessed various new trends in the last two years, where 2013 witnessed trend that made every restaurant try its hands at molecular gastronomy and 2014 was touted as a year of innovation. And, 2015 is seen to be filled with global trends as well as traditional dishes keeping up their pace. Food, like fashion, has gained tremendous popularity and now, it is considered cool to go and eat at certain restaurants and indulge in different dishes and cuisines. Some might seem more weird than others and some in fact innovative and gain popularity. Whether you agree with it or not, these are the trends some of which came and went swiftly and others which have morphed into something much more.
1. Black Food
The first bit of crazy that has hit India is the sudden rage for the black burger. In a day and age where chefs go out of their way to make plates look appealing and Instagram has become a medium through which restaurant decisions are made, it is surprising that food as black as the night is considered interesting. From the black bun burger to even squid ink pasta, this trend slowly seems to be gaining momentum.
Where To Try: The MoBar Burger at Monkey Bar, Delhi
2. Mini Food
From big hearty pots of food and large plates of substantial 'mains', we've now moved to a more refined plate. The food presented is a work of art and chefs have geared towards the 'less is more concept '. From big dim sum baskets with a minimum of 6 pieces they have now shrunk to a 3 pieces. Desserts like cheesecakes and cupcakes have shrunk to tiny bite sized portions which patrons seem to have embraced.
Where To Try: Mini Tacos at The Irish House, Mumbai
3. Fusion Food
The biggest trend in India that doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon is fusion food. This mix and match way of eating has purist frown and disapprove but the over public seems to embrace this medley of flavours. Perfect examples of fusion food that you see on most menus are tandoori flavoured pizza, butter chicken or chicken tikka pasta or risottos, Thai flavoured dim sums and so on. Approve or not, this trend is here to stay.
Where To Try: Durust Sarson Lobster at Spice Terrace, Bangalore
4. Regional Food
Another very interesting trend that is slowly catching steam is the reinvention and highlight of local regional cuisines in India. People are stepping away from the Chinese, Italian, Mexican and even popular North Indian cuisines and exploring local regional food. In the last year itself cuisines like Parsi food, Bohri thals, Malayali food and even Sindhi food have gained tremendous popularity. Mostly due to small home chefs and caterers that are providing special meals, the interest in food has gone more local. The internet is full of such home chefs clamouring to give you an experience of their regional cuisine.
Where To Try: Pindi Chole at Gucchi, Kolkata

Citation: Bacon, C.W., Lyons,, P.C. 2005. Ecological fitness factors for fungi within the balansieae and clavicipiteae. In: Dighton, J., White, J., Oudemans, P., editors. The Fungal Community: Its Organizaton and Role in the Ecosystem. Boca Raton, FL:CRC/Taylor Francis Group. p. 519-531.
Interpretive Summary: The clavicipitalean fungi are numerous and highly successful antagonists, primarily of the Panicoideae subfamily of grasses, some of which are mutualistic in their association with plants. The Neotyphodium grass endophytes are known to increase plant growth rate and herbage yield, reduced insect and mammalian predation, and produce tolerances to several abiotic environmental stresses. At the evolutionary levels two broad groups of clavicipitalean fungi developed, therefore varying degree of mutualism might have co-evolved amount both groups. The finding of similar classes of secondary metabolites in both groups strengthens this hypothesis. In addition to chemical co-evolutionary evidence, there is ample evidence to suggest common origins for most clavicipitalean fungi, including molecular and genetic evidence, suggesting that other similarities within this family might exist. Finally, endophytes are also being exploited for their future uses that are based on endophytic delivery mechanisms, i.e., surrogate transformation or paratransgenesis. The information presented here is intended to provide the basis for more detailed discussions based on rigorous research results that will provide the basis for understanding the unique habit of these biotrophic mutualistic fungi of grasses.

How To Start Modeling – 3 Steps On How To Get Into Modelling. Not everyone takes the same path toward becoming a model. Some people are picked up off the street, some start off as children, some simply know the right people, and then there are the majority of us that must seek out the lifestyle for ourselves. If you are reading this, then you are probably part of the majority wondering how to get into modelling on your own. Well let this blog be your blueprint into model-hood. I am going to layout the critical steps toward becoming a successful model. (If you are hungry and eager to become a model and don't want to waste another moment, then cut to the chase and check out Let's Model! – How To Start Modeling by Renee Lauren).
Like I stated in my previous blog "FAQ's about Modeling Agencies," more than likely, the first step you will need to take is:
- Getting some photos taken by a professional photographer. This isn't a hard step, but it is a little involved. If you don't know of any photographers, you can always contact the agency you are interested in (or any for that matter) for some good photographers they like and use; or you can search for photographers in your area on your own. This part will cost a little money. It's alright though, because this is a return investment. You will need a solid book of photos (a portfolio) in order to make good money. If possible, ask about stock photography (photographers who shoot you for free and sell the photos on their own). This won't cost you anything and you will hopefully get some good photos our of it.
- Secondly, you will need to submit these photos to some agencies. Start with the best agencies and work your way down. Do a little research on the agencies in your area to figure out which ones take care of their models the best. A good idea before you actually submit to any agencies is to figure out which field you would fit into best. Are you going to be a fit model? Are you on the tall side and looking to get into runway? What about commercial modeling and catalog? Some agencies do a little bit of everything, and some specialize in certain fields. But if you know what area you are looking to get into, find that agency and impress the crap out of them. If they don't accept you initially, keep trying, don't quit, and get more photos until they do accept you; or move to another city.
That leads us to the third step, which is:
- Building your modeling portfolio. As you do more photo shoots and jobs, whether paid or not paid, you will begin to build a prestigious book. If you do any photo shoots, make certain to get the photos. Likewise, any job that you do, make sure you get the finalized work. These are your tear sheets that prove to everyone that you are a working model. It is a lot easier for a client to pick a model that has proof of success, than to take a chance on someone who has limited photos. No photos means no experience. Do yourself a big favor and shoot often. Like I said, paid or not, the more photos you have, the more valued you are. Often times, when it comes to getting jobs, it doesn't matter how attractive you are, it matters what you have done. (Discover more about How To Build A Modeling Portfolio by Joe Edelman.)
So we all understand that not everyone takes the same path toward becoming a successful model. But even those lucky few who get picked up by a NY agency while dressed as Santa, bell ringing for the Salvation Army, still need to perform steps one and three! So you are only one step away from them! If you are wondering how to start modeling, all you need to do is: set up some photo shoots and get some good photos; find your field of modeling and submit yourself to agencies in this field; and thirdly, build your portfolio up by adding and adding photos/tear sheets so your track record speaks for itself and everyone cries tears of happiness because you are so talented.
Of course there is more to modeling than these 3 simple steps, but these are enough to get you going. If you have been seriously thinking about how to get into modelling, feel that you are ready, and don't want to waste anymore time searching the entire internet for possible answers, jump right to the all-inclusive resource Let's Model! In the end, just take a step toward your goal every single day and you will find yourself fulfilling a dream. Faith, and these three steps can help make it happen.

Actors are constantly looking for ways to spruce up their audition pieces and revamp their resumes. To help with this last task, we asked four of the Bay Area's leading casting directors for their pro tips on how to make sure your resume does its job--telling them about you, clearly and professionally. Check out what they have to say!
Don't let the Resume Monster scare you.
(Photo: "Butterflies" by user Samantha T.

Amy Potozkin, Casting Director, Berkeley Repertory Theatre:
There are a number of ways to format an acting resume, and you can look at quite a few different examples online.
1. Keep it to one page—black print on white paper is easiest on the eye—and staple it to the back of your headshot (printed side facing out so it can be read).
2. A basic layout I would recommend:
Name, phone number, and email address—don't include your home address.
Include agent information if you have an agent.
Height, weight (if comfortable including this), hair and eye color.
If you are a singer, include voice part (Mezzo, Bari-tenor, etc.)
3. Theatre credits in four clear columns across:
Play, role, theatre company, director (or role, play, director, theatre company).
4. Film/TV/commercial credits can be listed first, or after the theatre credits.
5. Below that—education/training, which would include: where you've studied, special programs like summer intensives, if you have your BA or MFA, and, if so, from where.
6. Below that—special skills, which would include: dialects in which you are proficient; musical instruments; fluent languages; athletic, gymnastic, or fight skills; circus skills, etc. Any skills that might be useful for a casting director or director to know.
(Amy Potozkin also gives professional audition coaching sessions. Call (510) 484-4280 for more information.)
Janet Foster, Casting Director, American Conservatory Theater:
1. Don't overload the resume with out-of-date credits. As your experience grows, get rid of old credits. A cluttered resume is very difficult to read, and no one really cares about high school credits or even undergraduate credits after a few years of professional work.
2. Don't ever put your home address on your resume. Stalkers do exist.
3. Make sure that you always keep your resume updated. And if you want to be a professional actor, always have a pic & res with you when you go out into the professional world.
(Janet Foster also teaches professional Actor 411 classes. For more info, visit her website.)
Leslie Martinson, Associate Artistic Director, TheatreWorks:
1. The Bay Area standard is to include four pieces of information for each credit: the show title, the role, the producing organization (not just the name of the venue), and the director.
2. It's also good practice to identify staged readings or studio roles as just that, and not merge them with credits in fully produced shows.
3. A.B.A.F.T.C.N.: Avoid Baffling Abbreviations for Theatre Company Names. You might refer to the company by a nickname, or by initials, but help the auditors out!
4. The standard format is to list roles with the most current at the top, in reverse chronological order. It's also acceptable, and sometimes more helpful, to group credits by genre first. An actor might, for instance, put all his or her Theatre for Young Audiences or Shakespeare or Improv shows together under a subheading.
5. Leave a little white space—room for auditor's notes, easier to read, not quite so desperate.
(Leslie Martinson teaches audition strategies master classes through TheatreWorks. Visit the TheatreWorks website for more information.)
Melissa Hillman, Artistic Director, Impact Theatre:
1. Always use the four-column format—I need to see what role you played, what show it was in, who directed that show, and what company produced that show. You should not, however, include the year. One day you will be as old as I am and all those bygone years will just depress you. But seriously, we don't need to know the year. It just takes up space and clutters the format.
2. If you have a degree in the performing arts, please include that, but you don't need to include the names of every human with whom you studied there. If you studied with someone prominent, go ahead and include that. Otherwise, for me, the institution, degree, and any specializations are enough.
3. Roll off school credits as quickly as possible, especially high school. While it can be a great experience, a lot of fun, and very educational, playing Hamlet in high school doesn't carry the same weight as having played a much smaller role at a professional theatre where the competition and, especially, expectations are much more intense. If you're debating whether to include a high school Hamlet or a professional Osric, go with Osric.
4. If you went to a summer program at a high-profile theatre (Berkeley Rep, ACT, Cal Shakes) include that in your "education" section, not your performance credits, even if there was a performance component. "Pay to play" programs, where your parents write a $965 check so you can be in a production of Kinky Boots: The Youth Version, should not be on an adult resume. Pay-to-play programs are fine for a youth resume, but they need to come off when you turn 18.
5. I need to see your height and vocal range. I never believe anyone's weight, plus I can see for myself what your basic look is. I don't need to know eye color or hair color. I also don't need to know dress size, shoe size, or anything like that. That belongs on a commercial resume. The fine people making that Sunny D commercial will want to know that, but I don't. My costumer won't believe you anyway.
6. Don't include anything in special skills that you cannot actually do. For example, if you tell me you speak fluent Spanish, I will believe you and call you in for a role that requires you to speak fluent Spanish. The same goes for any other skill, especially something like stage combat. Exaggeration works against you. If you have experience in stage combat, I will circle that on your resume. If it turns out later that your "hand to hand training" was a single slap in high school, you've just added an hour to my rehearsal time and I am now unhappy.
7. Do not put "stage management" in your special skills unless you want me to call you in as a stage manager. If you have "stage management" in your special skills, and I call you when I need a stage manager (which is always), and you tell me, "I'm not stage managing anymore; I want to ACT, I am irritated. Why is it on there, then? Stage management skills aren't needed to play a stage manager. The only possible reasons to include it are A. desire to stage manage and B. desire to taunt us.
(For info on Melissa's audition coaching sessions, contact her here.)
So, that's the scoop on actor resumes from some of the best in the casting business, in the Bay Area and beyond! We hope you find these tips useful as you prepare for all the auditions you're facing. Break a leg!
