Her priority areas are Aboriginals, Chinese Canadians, Women in Science, Engineering & Technology and Post-secondary education. She continues to speak across Canada on these topics and others, such as the tragedy of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
Keynote Presentation
Senator Lillian Dyck, My identity has shaped my research as a scientist and as a senator.
In research, the concept of scientific objectivity and neutrality of the researcher is central to the belief system of the scientific method. However, this is an ideal to which scientists aspire and while it is an admirable goal, it obscures the value that racial and gender diversity in perspectives brings to scientific research. The types of research questions asked, the approaches used to answer those questions and the interpretation of the results depend on the identity of the individual researcher.
Unfortunately, most fields of Western science have been dominated and controlled by white male researchers, which for some of us who are different, especially for my and earlier generations, has made it more difficult to succeed because our perspectives were not valued and because of gender and racial discrimination. Yet our difference is what fuels creativity – the most valued and sought after aspect of scientific research. In my presentation, I will discuss how my life experiences as a female Cree-Chinese Canadian have shaped my research both as a scientist and as a senator.
Conference Speakers
Elders & Knowledge Holders
Kupuna "Aunty" Francine Dudoit
Kupuna "Aunty" Francine Dudoit, comes from a lineage of Native Hawaiian healers who taught her skills that are valued both in the Native Hawaiian and general community.
She is Director, Traditional Hawaiian Healing, at Waikiki Health, Honolulu, Hawaii, and leads Pu'uhonua (safe place for healing) – an interdisciplinary program to support community transition and reduce recidivism of incarcerated Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders by combining Indigenous cultural supports with westernized health & social services.
She has over 40 years' experience as a Registered Nurse and Native Hawaiian Practitioner, and leads lomilomi training programs in Hawaii and Calgary, Canada. Francine develops health programs to promote and preserve Hawaiian healing traditions through education, research and apprenticeship, including integrating Hawaiian Healing with Western Medicine. Francine is a member of Na Hululei Kupuna Council, serving Native Hawaiian Practitioners. She has received many awards, including recognition from Moloka'i General Hospital, U. S. Department of Health, and American Business Women's Association.
Decolonizing Methodology Speaker Presenting on Indigenous Service Learning Projects
This workshop will feature co-teachers, Dr. Kennedy and Aunty Fran sharing the foundations for community based research. Mutual respect obliges us to listen, observe, clarify values, challenge assumptions, and learn from each other. Since postsecondary education is typically dominated by Western structures, we are challenged to create space for Indigenous knowledge that is holistic, spiritual, and placebased (Anuik & Gillies, 2012; Bartlett et al., 2012; Battiste, 2013). Our story stems from a Westernized undergraduate nursing program offering of an experiential course in Indigenous community child health. We understand this Western– Indigenous knowledge confluence as the "ethical space [that begins]…whenever and wherever the physical and philosophical encounter of Indigenous and Western worlds takes place" (Ermine, 2007, pp. 194–195).
Northern Elders Announced Soon!
Southern Researchers

She is also a co-PI (with Metis anthropologist Zoe Todd at Carleton University) on a SSHRC Frontiers funded project on Plural perspectives on Bighorn Country: restor(y)ing land use governance and bull trout population health in Alberta. Janelle's research is inspired from doing collaborative applied traditional land use research for First Nations in Alberta and Saskatchewan since 2006. Her research celebrates women's knowledge, traditional foods, and boreal forest identities and she collaborates with scientists on community-based and climate change monitoring projects. Janelle is currently the North Americas Representative on the Board of Directors for the International Society of Ethnobiology and winner of the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies – ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award, Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences category.
Community-based Environmental Monitoring.
Dr. Baker is of settler and Metis heritage, and will share her experiences as a woman working in collaboration with First Nations communities in northern Alberta on environmental monitoring in traditional territories affected by oil sands industrial activities. In particular, she will describe steps on how community members can design, acquire funding, and manage their own environmental monitoring programs. She will talk about reciprocal forms of mentoring in research and the successes and challenges of working with scientists. She will also talk about the commodification of traditional knowledge in research and consultation and resisting knowledge integration.
Cheryl Barnabe, MD MSc FRCPC
Cheryl Barnabe, MD MSc FRCPC is a Métis rheumatologist with a graduate degree in Clinical Epidemiology. She is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Medicine and Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. She is a Vice-Chair in the Department of Medicine (Indigenous Health), past-Chair of the Quality Care Committee for the Canadian Rheumatology Association, and a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Indigenous Health Committee.
Dr. Barnabe's research program, 'Arthritis Care for Indigenous Populations', has contributed knowledge on the epidemiology of arthritis and contemporary outcomes of inflammatory arthritis conditions for Indigenous people.
In response to the identified accentuated disease burden, she co-develops health services interventions to bridge the care gaps that exist, and leads delivery of curricular initiatives for rheumatology residents and practitioners to support the provision of culturally safe arthritis care environments.
She is the principal investigator of the Alberta Indigenous Mentorship in Health Innovation (AIM-HI) Network, a CIHR-funded Indigenous Mentorship Network Program, to recruit and retain Indigenous scholars in health research. Dr. Barnabe has received several national awards, including a CIHR Canada Research Chair in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Autoimmune Diseases (Tier 2, 2018-2023), the Killam Emerging Research Leader Award (2018) and is a member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada (2018).
Resetting Health Service Delivery.
Dr. Barnabe is a clinician-scientist, providing rheumatology specialty care to urban Indigenous and on-reserve First Nations populations, while taking a health services research approach to close care gaps. Western health systems and service models have prioritized centralized and provider-centric service delivery. These are directed by complex multi-level and multi-jurisdictional systems with various reporting and fiduciary responsibilities. Superimposed on these systems are individual-level service provision habits, in which providers typically are not prepared to engage in dialogue or problem solve around the historic, social and cultural factors influencing patient access to health services. Taken together, continuing these ways of health service delivery fails Indigenous populations and communities, and reinforces rejection of healthcare by patients. Principles of community engagement, prioritizing the involvement, collaboration and empowerment of Indigenous communities and leadership, are critical to successful delivery of healthcare in Indigenous communities. Locally-determined priorities and solutions can be enacted to meet community and individual needs, and advance health attainment. This chapter will provide summaries of key issues in understanding community- and patient-centric healthcare delivery as empowering mechanisms to achieve health, and include case studies that highlight health system successes in Indigenous communities.

Indigenous Service Learning.
This workshop will feature co-teachers, Dr. Kennedy and Aunty Fran sharing the foundations for community based research. Mutual respect obliges us to listen, observe, clarify values, challenge assumptions, and learn from each other. Since postsecondary education is typically dominated by Western structures, we are challenged to create space for Indigenous knowledge that is holistic, spiritual, and placebased (Anuik & Gillies, 2012; Bartlett et al., 2012; Battiste, 2013). Our story stems from a Westernized undergraduate nursing program offering of an experiential course in Indigenous community child health.

Jennifer Leason, PhD
Jennifer Leason, PhD Keesis Sagay Egette Ekwé (First Shining Rays of Sunlight Woman) is a Saulteaux-Métis Anishinaabek Kwé (woman) and a Canada research chair. Jennifer was recently appointed to Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary and is grateful to the First peoples and communities of Treaty 7 and Métis Nation Alberta, Region III. Dr. Leason's research interests are Canadian and International Indigenous peoples health, with a focus on Indigenous maternal-child and reproductive health.
An Experiential Learning Exercise and Transforming Empathy to Social Action.
This workshop is an experiential-based learning exercise created by Indigenous scholar, teacher, and researcher Dr. Jennifer Leason. It was created as a call to action to transform participants' understanding about the impacts of colonization on Indigenous peoples in Canada. The exercise is centered on reconciliation, decolonization, and indigenization. Decolonization and engaged pedagogy aims to transform consciousness through a paradigm shift from a culture of denial towards making space for Indigenous political philosophies, ways of knowing,
being and, doing. Indigenous pedagogy is inclusive, holistic, and reflective of Indigenous ways of teaching and learning. Indigenous pedagogy engages teaching/learning practices that connect the head, heart, and spirit to transform people in powerful ways that may not be fully understood on a rational level alone. The transformation is to move beyond the mere description and theorizing about the impacts of colonization, towards the experience and transformation of understanding towards empathy and social action.

Dr. Lemaire also focuses on global health, and currently co-leads the University of Calgary Laos Collaboration to improve the rural health of the Lao people through improved medical education training.
Wellness: why it matters and how to nurture it.
This workshop will explore why wellness is key to a successful career as a female academic. The workshop will begin with a presentation about the work-related chronic stressors that affect academics and the potential negative outcomes of these chronic stressors. Participants will then engage in moderated small and then large group discussions using the "think, pair, share" approach. They will discuss what types of stressors are encountered in an academic career, and how gender and generational shifts relate to some of these stressors. Participants will then share strategies for developing resilience and coping with stress on an individual basis. There will also be a discussion around system-level solutions to enhance wellness for academics. Participants will draft a personal wellness plan to promote a sustainable and productive career.

Keynote Presentation
What is community based participatory action research with Indigenous communities?
The goal of CBPR is to shape the research process to fit the perspectives of community members so as to generate knowledge that contributes more directly to social change. Historically, Indigenous health research in Canada has failed to engage Indigenous peoples and communities as primary stakeholders of research evidence. Increasingly, Indigenous research ethics and methodologies are being positioned as tools for Indigenous self-determination. This session will explore case studies of where CBPR principles and Indigenous health research frameworks were applied in research with Indigenous communities.

Imposter Phenomenon.
This workshop will explore the imposter phenomenon and how it may affect us as women and in our careers as researchers. It will be moderated by two academic women physicians. The workshop will begin with a brief evidence-based presentation that will help participants better understand the imposter phenomenon as well as personal characteristics that may predispose us to experiencing the imposter phenomenon. Participants will then engage in moderated small and then large group discussions using the "think, pair, share" approach. This will promote reflection and the sharing of narratives around what internal and external factors may contribute to women academics underestimating, undervaluing, and under-promoting their contributions. Further discussions will probe what internal strengths and what external supports could help women academics realize and promote their contributions.

Lianne Mantla-Look, RN, Bsc
Lianne Mantla-Look, RN, Bsc is a First Nations Registered Nurse from the Tłı̨chǫ community of Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories. She has a diploma in Nursing from Aurora College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alberta. She has been nursing since 2003. In 2014 Lianne received Health Canada's Award of Excellence in Nursing from the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. Throughout her life, Lianne's parents instilled a strong sense of cultural identity in her. Her mother works as a Tłı̨chǫ culture and language coordinator, and during his lifetime her father was a traditional hunter and trapper. She is the first person in her region to have completed a degree in nursing, which is viewed as quite an achievement. In particular, the Elders are very proud of her accomplishments especially since Lianne is so strong in her Dene traditions, language (Tłı̨chǫ) and culture, as well as her ability to bring knowledge of western medicine. Her ability to bring traditional language and culture into her nursing practice is a unique strength and benefit for her community. It has been said about Lianne that she is "strong like two people," a Tłı̨chǫ maxim that describes being able to thrive in both traditional Indigenous and Western cultures. She has an abundance of determination and exhibits a high degree of independence. Combined, these characteristics make her a good community role model and enable her to embrace change and to be uniquely different.
Bridging the gap between two world views: Perspectives of an Indigenous Nurse.
My career has been dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional and western medicine. In this presentation, I will speak to those worldviews, and the opportunities and challenges of working in my home community of Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories as a registered nurse. I'll also share my experiences on both sides of health care, as a nurse and as a cancer patient. During my 16-year nursing career, my work as a Community Health Nurse was the highlight—not only because I was working for my people, but because I felt like I was making a difference as an Indigenous nurse who is fluent in my native tongue and working in my home community. As the Tłı̨chǫ girl who became a nurse, my community appreciated that they didn't have to explain their reasons for seeking medical care twice (via an interpreter).
I've interpreted for patients from my region, helping their diagnoses make sense within an Indigenous, community-based worldview. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I had to take a step back and behave like a patient which was extremely difficult to do. This personal story puts my journey into context, and emphasizes the connections between traditional and western medicine. My presentation will highlight the need for health care professionals to come from and be rooted in Indigenous and community contexts, and call for a two-eyed seeing approach to community health. The concept of two-eyed seeing aligns strongly with the foundational tenet of the Tłı̨chǫ people – that Tłı̨chǫ people must be strong like two people, able to function in both the traditional Tłı̨chǫ world and the mainstream Canadian world.

The power of photo voice for Community based participatory action research.
Images and words, when used together, portray enhanced understanding of a social issue or concern and together are a form of expression for the author. This is the case of photovoice, a participatory action method, used by researchers, activists, students and many others to change policy or advance innovative ideas. In this presentation, the method of photovoice will be shared along with its benefits and risks. Three examples will be shared: creating moral community in an ethics classroom; describing how to be healthy during pregnancy; and, identifying climate change in the Arctic. The purpose of these projects vary from empowering healthy behaviours in pregnancy to learning about ethical practice as a student or to portraying the effects of climate change.

Ms. Parrott also leads research in the areas of carbon pricing, climate change, disaster mitigation and cyber infrastructure.
Jenn Parrott, You are the Future of Research: Tips on how to Navigate the Northern Research Landscape.
Navigating the field of northern research can be hard, and the learning curve can feel daunting at times. Sadly, these hurdles have discouraged too many women from pursuing careers in the field of research. I will make the argument that these hurdles are surmountable and that rather than seeing them as constraints to pursuing a career in research, woman should take up the challenge, because you'd be surprised by the number of awesome opportunities that await you.
To demonstrate why pursuing a career in the field of research is for you, I will provide an overview on immerging fields of research in the western arctic, 'in-demand' skillsets, where to find work, tips on seeking education, and how to get involved today. By the end of the presentation, you will be equipped with a general roadmap on how to start and succeed in a research career in the north. Finally, I will present two success stories of young indigenous women who are currently starting their careers in research at the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation.

TEXARKANA, TX (KSLA) - A woman got hot under the collar at a place where people go to cool off.
The tantrum Sunday afternoon at an ice cream shop was caught on video that now is trending on social media.
Texarkana, Texas, police described it as "a large disturbance."
The video shows a woman pulling desserts out of a freezer and sweeping a cake off a counter and onto the floor at Cold Stone Creamery in Texarkana, Texas.
"She apparently got upset when employees wouldn't give her the refund that she believed she was owed," authorities say in a Facebook post. "Instead of handling it like an adult, she started breaking things inside the store and threw several of the pre-made cakes that were in the freezer.
On the video, a woman also can be seen grabbing and tossing a napkin holder and other items within reach before leaving the business in Texarkana Pavilion in the 4200 block of St. Michael Drive.
Police arrested Tkeshon Sharakeyon Trotter as she tried to leave the area.
Now the 22-year-old Texarkana, Texas, woman is free on $3,000 bond after having been booked into Bi-State Jail on a charge of criminal mischief.
All told, police say there was about $400 worth of damage to the ice cream shop.
And it was all because she wanted a refund of about $15, authorities say.
It is not yet known who shot the video of the encounter.

I play with the plug that's in my butt, pushing it in and out while I need to shit so bad. It's so hot what I'm about to do, my cunt is dripping. When I can't stand to hold my poop in any longer I pull the plug out and let out my mushy load into my cute white panties. I love how it feels on my cunt! I fuck my ass with my pink, sparkly dildo wishing it was your cock. I smear on my tits and then use my vibe to cum, my orgasm is very loud and you can tell how much I loved it.

Your performance on the overall exam is given a score ofwith 5 being the highest.
Briefly summarized, this doctrine states that cells are the fundamental units of both structure and function in all living things; that all forms of life animal, plant, and microbial are composed of cells and their secretions; and that cells arise only from preexisting cells, each cell haying a life of its own in addition to its integrated role in multi-cellular organisms.
This statement seems both elementary and obvious to any student with some background in the biological sciences. Nevertheless, it took several centuries for this concept to be developed and accepted. It finally became apparent that a fundamental similarity existed in the structural organization of all the living things studied.
Francis and Zacharias Janssen, who manufactured eyeglasses in Holland, are generally credited with the construction of the first compound microscopes in Malpighi was among the first to use a microscope to examine and describe thin slices of animal tissues from such organs as the brain, liver, kidney, spleen, lungs, and tongue.
His published works also include descriptions of the development of the chick embryo. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Dutch, was one of the most distinguished of all the early microscopists. His sketches included numerous bacteria bacilli, cocci, spirilla, etc.
He described the blood cells of mammals, birds, amphibians, and fish, noting that those of fish and amphibians were oval in shape and contained a central body i. Hooke popularized the use of microscopes among contemporary biologists in England and built several compound microscopes of his own.
On one occasion, Hooke examined a thin slice cut from a piece of dried cork. What he observed, of course, were not cork cells but rather the empty spaces left behind after the living portion of the cells had disintegrated.
Nehemiah Grew English,together with Marcello Malpighi, is recognized as one of the founders of plant anatomy. His publications included accounts of the microscopic examination of sections through the flowers, roots, and stems of plants and clearly indicate that he recognized the cellular nature of plant tissue.
Grew was also the first to recognize that flowers are the sexual organs of plants. Purkinje Czech, coined the term protoplasm to describe the contents of cells. Inhe wrote that each cell leads a double life—one independent, pertaining to its own development, and another as an integral part of a plant.
In this century, especially during the past 25 years, we have witnessed an unprecedented growth of our knowledge of the cell, its structural organization and diversity, its chemical organization, and the various functions of its component parts. This understanding is founded on the contributions of many thousands of scientists working in laboratories all over the world.
Many such awards in the fields of chemistry, physiology, and medicine have been made for contributions that bear directly on cell biology see Table A major difference between an Advanced Placement Program (AP) biology course and a regular high school biology course is the emphasis on detail.

text: Hodor's Dragon #41 Posted May 8, 2019 18 minutes ago, Forlong the Fat said: What we know is that the ballistae can shoot a fair distance, and that Dany's group stood some distance from the castle. Unless we make the dumbest assumption possible (a common assumption in many of these complaints) one would think that they chose to stand at a safe distance. They added context to establish that bow range was much closer to the castle. And it would have been impractical and unsatisfying to shoot the scene with Dany's group standing a half mile from the castle. But you think it's "total nonsense" to shoot the scene in a practical and compelling manner, with added context cues specifically addressing bow range. You should work on your suspension of disbelief when it comes to TV shows. Except ... you could see them all in one shot with enough information to make a fair judgment about their distance apart. IOW, you don't have to make any "assumption" at all. It's right there in front of your two eyes. They weren't anywhere near the outside of the ballistae's range. I mean, come on, I'm all in favor of suspending disbelief and giving the show the benefit of the doubt, but you could see it. There was no doubt to be suspended, and I'm sorry, but nonsense is not "compelling" to me. Also, it's a relatively minor point, but in an actual parlay? The armies lined up far away from each other so the leaders can meet each other in the middle, safe from anyone's bowshot. This was not that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett caught a 13LB bass today at Lake Austin
January 29, 2012
Hey hi…today at Austin Bass Club of the Deaf's monthly tournament,
Brett Ketchum caught a 13LB bass at Lake Austin. He used jerkbait lure
and caught it at 7:40AM. He decided to donate the bass to TPWD's Toyota
ShareLunker Program. TPWD Truck is about to arrive anytime if not
already to pick up Brett's prize. Congratulations to Brett!
Since he earns bragging rights, I called YNN (Your News Now – Austin's
News 8) and they sent a guy with camera to Lake Austin. I was told that
it will be on TV tonight at 10 and it will be showing on TV all night
tonight into tomorrow afternoon. DVR it!
TPWD will have an article about it sometime this week.
ABCD rules!

Whoever books the talent for the Dubai Jazz Festival needs a raise because they're bringing actual music legends to our hometown for its 18th edition. Yesterday we shared the news that Lauryn Hill would be kicking off the festival on February 26, and it's just been announced that Lionel Richie will be taking the stage the very next day alongside American jazz band Spyro Gyra.
The record producer, singer, songwriter and American Idol judge may have shot to fame in the '80s as part of The Commodores, but his soulful RnB songs are still being played on the radio today (and we sing along every time). Lionel gave us an endless amount of hits including Easy, All Night Long, Endless Love and Hello, as well as co-producing We Are The World with Michael Jackson.
We can't wait to hear our favourite classics in person while enjoying the winter weather and an electric ambiance. The last headline act will be announced tomorrow November 6 so stay tuned – it's shaping up to be the best jazz festival yet.

When folks talk about the gene-editing tool CRISPR, they're usually talking about CRISPR-Cas9, a combination of DNA and enzymes that together act like scissors to cut and paste genes. CRISPR-Cas9 has already been hailed a potential game changer in the fight against cancer, crop pathogens, and environmental problems. But some researchers think a lesser-known flavor of the technology might be the answer to the world's growing superbug problem. Ladies and gentlemen, meet CRISPR-Cas3.
If CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic scalpel, Cas3 is a chainsaw. Which is exactly why researchers think it might be just the thing to attack the sort of super-tough bacteria that can resist antibiotics.
"What we're trying to do is kill bacteria," Rodolphe Barrangou, a molecular biologist at North Carolina State University, told Gizmodo. "It's like a Pac-Man that's going to chew up DNA rather than make a clean cut. It chews it up beyond repair. It's lethal."
Hard-to-kill bacteria, often dubbed "superbugs," have become a major problem, developing resistance to antibiotics more quickly than we can discover new ones.
Barrangou's work is in its early stages, but it may be among the most promising alternatives to new antibiotics.
The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion, and analysis. Read full, original post: Scientists Are Creating a Genetic Chainsaw to Hack Superbug DNA to Bits

Hanover Street is a 1979 Anglo-American film, a wartime love story written and directed by Peter Hyams, starring Harrison Ford, Lesley-Anne Down and Christopher Plummer.
In London during World War II, Lieutenant David Halloran (Harrison Ford), an American bomber pilot serving with the Eighth Air Force based in the United Kingdom, and Margaret Sellinger (Lesley-Anne Down) a British nurse, meet in Hanover Street in a chance encounter during The Blitz.
They meet again two weeks later in a secret assignation on Hanover Street. Although she is married, Sellinger and Halloran rapidly fall in love. She tries to resist, but is drawn to the charismatic American. By contrast her husband Paul Sellinger (Christopher Plummer) is, by his own description, suave, pleasant, but fairly dull. A former teacher, he is now a trusted member of British intelligence.
Halloran is subsequently sent on an undercover mission in Nazi-occupied France to deliver a British agent (Lieutenant Wells). At the last moment, Sellinger takes the place of the agent, and himself joins the mission. His reasons are initially unclear, but he slowly reveals that he wants to prove himself.
Flying over France, his aircraft is hit, with the crew being killed, except for the sole survivors, Halloran and Sellinger. In occupied France, the two have to work together, especially after the agent injures his ankle. Sellinger's mission is to arrive at the German headquarters in Lyon and, posing as an SS officer, photograph an important document that lists the German double-agents in British intelligence. Halloran agrees to help Sellinger. Making contact with the local French resistance, they disguise themselves as German SS officers and steal the documents. SS troops raise the alarm but the pair manage to escape after a lengthy car chase, and make it back to the same farm where they had received assistance. However, they are betrayed by acollaborator and are forced to flee again, pursued by hundreds of Nazi troops, but successfully make their escape.
In London, Sellinger's wife finds out that Halloran and Sellinger are together and have come back home, with her husband wounded, but alive. Going to visit him in the hospital on Hanover Street, she meets Lieutenant Halloran for the last time. They embrace and kiss, and he tells her that he loves her "enough to let her go", she goes in to see her husband, while he goes out into Hanover Street, where the love story had begun.

British Gas are part of a team bringing the first all-electric carbon-zero car service to the UK this autumn. The fleet of cars will be charged by a network of rapid electric vehicle chargers which will be supplied, installed and maintained by British Gas.
The scheme will begin in London and will roll out to other UK cities. The aim is to have 1,000 cars on the road by 2014. British Gas have been installing electric vehicle charging solutions for the past few years. The new charging network will incorporate rapid charge units that can charge a car from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes. Each unit of electricity used by the network will be matched with a unit of 100% British renewable electricity. This is the UK's only carbon-zero car service and brings a low-cost, low-carbon transport option to UK businesses. Businesses who are already using electric vehicles will also be given access to the rapid-charging network allowing them to increase their reach and efficiency.
The scheme is being created in partnership with Thriev, a sustainable transport start-up based in TechCity located in London. Alongside British Gas, Thriev have made sure that the car service is offered at a highly competitive price, allowing businesses to save cash as well as carbon.
"Our service will be cheaper and more convenient than owning a car in places like London both for businesses, but also private use,†said Ian Mihajlovic, Co-Founder of Thriev.
The new scheme arrives at the perfect time as the UK Government continues to invest in electric vehicles, aiming to have 1.2 million electric vehicles on the road by 2020. The popularity of electric vehicles has been growing over the last few years with registrations of pure electric and hybrid cars up 70% in 2013 on the previous year. With the new charging infrastructure and Thriev's fleet of carbon-zero cars, it looks like the UK is well on the way to becoming a world leader in electric vehicle use.
"Innovations like Thriev make it possible for businesses to have the best of both worlds,†said Andreas Atkins, Head of Electric Vehicle Services at British Gas, "making major reductions in their carbon footprint and saving money at the same time.â€

Barcelona: Star striker Lionel Messi played a part in all but one of Barcelona's goals as the hosts pounded Real Valladolid 5-1 to reclaim the lead in La Liga.
With 22 points from 10 matches, the reigning champions are two points ahead of Granada and Atletico Madrid, reports Efe news.
On Tuesday, the Argentine superstar scored a brace and had two assists to bring Valladolid's undefeated streak to a screeching halt after five matches while extending Barca's domestic winning run to five.
The hosts couldn't have hoped for a better start as a poor clearance by Valladolid set up an easy goal for Clement Lenglet to make it 1-0 Barcelona.
Messi's first meaningful touch of the night was inauspicious, a hesitant free kick in the 14th minute that visiting goalkeeper Jordi Masip handled with ease.
The next sequence saw Valladolid pull level on a goal by Kiko Olivas, who converted Michel's free-kick thanks to some confusion on the Barcelona backline.
Valladolid settled in to protect the draw and managed to stay on terms until the 29th minute when Messi orchestrated a goal by Arturo Vidal to restore the lead for the Catalan club.
The 3-1 came just five minutes later, courtesy of a thunderous Messi free-kick from more than 20 yards out.
The Barcelona captain went on to force a save from Matip minutes before the break and carried that intensity over to the second half.
Messi delivered a perfect ball to Ansu Fati on Barca's first charge after the re-start, but the side's budding star failed in the 1v1 with Masip.
Valladolid enjoyed a good run of play and the Barcelona faithful at Camp Nou began to grow restless, prompting coach Ernesto Valverde to start making changes, replacing Frenkie de Jong and Fati with Ivan Rakitic and Antoine Griezmann, respectively.
But again, it was Messi who provided the magic, beating Masip with a laser-guided half-volley to boost the lead to 4-1 in the 75th minute, two minutes before he assisted on a Luis Suarez goal to complete the route.

Brocade has announced results based on testing performed by ESG Lab. The result shows 3500 virtual desktop reference architecture based on a single EMC XtremIO all flash storage array connected to 16 servers via Brocade Gen 5 Fibre channel Storage Area Network (SAN) and Brocade VDX Ethernet Fabric switches connecting servers to the virtual desktops.
The results validated that EMC VSPEX End user computing proven infrastructure reference architecture with Brocade networking was able to easily support upto 2500 full clone or 3500 linked clone virtual desktops on a XtremIO X-Brick node with sufficient headroom for additional desktops or other applications.
According to the ESG Lab report, "Delivering the optimal user experience is an essential IT task, but it is complex and difficult to design and build an environment that can deliver the predictable performance required for virtual desktop infrastructure….The VSPEX End-user Computing Proven Infrastructure with XtremIO all-flash storage and Brocade networking eliminates planning and configuration burdens, virtually guarantees a successful deployment, and delivers on both IT and end-user requirements."
The Brocade 6510 switches and Fabric Vision technology are sold by EMC under the EMC Connectrix® B-Series brand. Sixteen servers, simultaneously connected to the EMC storage and Brocade SAN fabric, were used for the testing, each configured with VMware Horizon View virtual desktops and the VMware vSphere server virtualization platform. A pair of Brocade VDX switches provided connectivity between the hosts and virtual desktops.
Using workload generation testing tools, the XtremIO array was able to generate more than 120,000 8K IOPS with an ultra-low 0.77 ms response time for application read/writes. Brocade Fabric Vision technology provided policy-based management to simplify monitoring, as well as automated management of storage network resources, which helped ensure that the required service levels were achieved for uncompromised application availability.

Hometown: West Plains, MO
Currently Resides: Rogers, AR
Occupation: Graduate student and part-time employee at the Northwest Arkansas Community College Testing Center
All Degrees Received: AA General Studies, Missouri State University-West Plains; BS in Family and Human Services, John Brown University; currently seeking a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certificate in Play Therapy, John Brown University.
"My experience at Missouri State-West Plains brought me growth, community and confidence."
Leslie Lancaster was just 16 when she started taking classes at Missouri State University-West Plains as a high school student in the dual enrollment program. By the time she graduated four years later with her associate's degree, she had been challenged academically by her professors, traveled beyond her nation's borders and worked her first job.
"All of these experiences contributed to my personal growth and understanding of the world," she said. "I was unsure if I had the ability to succeed in college when I took my first class. By the time I graduated, I felt confident I could succeed in continuing my education.
Her experiences also helped her discover her career path. "Being a math tutor gave me the opportunity to help fellow classmates, which grew in me a desire to help others in my future career," she explained. "I went into Missouri State-West Plains an unsure kid with a small view of the world and came out more confident and with a better understanding of the world outside of my community and what I wanted to do in that world."
The Darr Honors Program continues to shape Leslie.
Of all her experiences at Missouri State-West Plains, the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program left the greatest impact on Leslie's life.
"The experiences I gained in my honors classes have continued to shape me as a person over the last 10 years. While I did not realize how impactful these classes were at the time, I now think of them often when I approach learning of any kind, whether that be learning new skills for a job, learning information in the graduate program I attend, or learning about other people," she explained.
"The foundational ideas I had to wrestle with in those classes regarding what it means to be educated and pursue justice serve me in my everyday life," she added. "These lessons have taught me to be open to the ideas and opinions of other people and to examine those beliefs and my own with a critical eye."
"The West Plains campus provided a good, affordable, foundational education that allowed me to pursue my education further at a private university."
Although the dual enrollment program drew Leslie to Missouri State-West Plains, its affordability kept her here to complete her associate's degree.
"I would have been unable to pay for my undergraduate education at John Brown University if I hadn't finished my general studies degree at Missouri State-West Plains," she said. "The campus also served as a springboard for furthering my education, teaching me skills and general information I may have struggled with at another university before I moved on.
"The introduction Missouri State-West Plains provided me to psychology, sociology, writing, ethics and many other subjects has helped me understand people better and has helped to instill in me a desire to grow and learn," she added. "It has been a part of what led me to a career in the helping profession, allowing me to help children in foster care pursue a better future, children with autism make gains in their development, and individuals and families improve their relationships."
"You receive what you put into the experience."
Leslie is grateful for her time at Missouri State-West Plains. "I gained growth in knowledge of self, others and the world, community in relationships with peers and my hometown, and confidence that I can succeed in my learning goals and career," she said.
Current and future students can experience the same growth, with the right mindset, she added. "If you approach your education and community with a desire to learn and grow, you will find that professors, peers and the community of West Plains will faithfully aid you in your pursuit of those goals."

Dinosaur Bar-B-Q in Harlem (Yes, We Take Requests)
Last Friday we received an email from a reader asking why we didn't have an official review of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que up on Serious Eats: New York. It's no secret we love the place, but I get it. You want some official food porn.
Well, coincidentally enough, a few days before receiving that email I had made the trek to the west end of Manhattan with mountains of ribs and pulled pork on my mind. And we could have eaten mountains of meat after enduring an unexpectedly long wait. Don't go to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday night—you'll be greeted by a madhouse of hungry people and wait for at least 45 minutes despite what the hostess tells you. During the wait, we mulled over the menu, soaked in the Frontierland-esque environment, and glared at the people who wouldn't leave their tables. When we were finally seated around 9 p.m., we already had our order ready, and we wanted it ASAP.
And we got it ASAP. Our friendly waiter was atypically efficient and unobtrusive while still giving us enough attention. Dishes came, were eaten, and taken away at a brisk, but comfortable pace. After bemoaning the wait, the service and food more than made up for it.
What's New On Serious Eats
Knowing that it could be brought out right away, the first thing we asked for was cornbread. With its grainy, tender texture and corny, not too sweet flavor, it was devoured right away. The cornbread that came with our barbecue sampler platter tasted even better since it was warm.
We exercised portion control by only ordering three pieces of each of our appetizers. Jumbo bar-b-que chicken wings were fat, juicy, and flavorful. Perhaps worth getting at least two per person, but we wanted to play it safe.
Having never eaten fried green tomatoes before, I have nothing to compare Dinosaur BBQ's version to. I wasn't into the shaved Pecorino Romano cheese topping, but besides that, fried green tomatoes were as delicious as any other thickly battered foodstuff, deep-fried to a golden crisp, and burning hot. They benefited from a dip in the cayenne buttermilk ranch dressing
You can't go wrong with Deviled eggs filled with creamy, tangy egg yolk mash. Unless you don't like hard-boiled eggs, which would be sad.
We shared the Tres Hombre combination platter consisting of a quarter rack of ribs, barbecue pork, Texas beef brisket, and two sides (we went with cole slaw and Creole potato salad). The beef brisket could've been more tender and the barbecue pork was perfectly fine without being special, but the clear winner was the pork ribs, which melted with fall-off-the-bone awesomeness. I'd just stick with the ribs on subsequent visits. Perhaps half a rack. For myself.
The coconut banana pudding was satisfyingly sweet and creamy without making any breakthroughs in pudding deliciousness. As much as I love ending my meals with desserts, I think I'd rather eat more ribs.
I'd recommend Dinosaur Bar-B-Que for delicious ribs and appetizers in a fun atmosphere. Need further confirmation? Here's Serious Eats grand poobah Ed Levine's thoughts:
People forget that Dinosaur BBQ opened years before Blue Smoke. Dinosaur's owner John Stage in many ways paved the way for all the credible, honest barbecue joints that have opened up in New York in the last few years. Stage knows barbecue and reveres its traditions. I am a huge fan of his ribs, wings, side dishes like the fried green tomatoes, and even the iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing and bacon. I'm not crazy about his pork shoulder, but that's besides the point; namely that Dinosaur BBQ is the real deal.
