Have you ever been called somebody else's name? How often has your own mother forgotten your name? Does she ever cycle through the names of each of your siblings, and perhaps even the family pet, before getting to yours?
Don't worry, it's probably not because she loves them more than you.
According to researchers at Duke University, misnaming is a common cognitive slip-up. In fact, it seems to occur most frequently between family members and close friends.
The researchers examined survey data from more than 1,700 participants, who were either undergraduate students or older individuals from the community. Regardless of age, those who had been misnamed reported being misnamed by someone they knew well. Likewise, those who had misnamed someone reported doing so to a familiar person.
Misnaming usually occurs within the same semantic category. So, family members are misnamed with another family member's name and friends are misnamed with another friend's name.
Names are also more likely to be confused when they share phonetic similarities. For example, misnaming will potentially occur more often if you have children named Dan and Stan.
Notably, the study found misnaming has little to do with physical similarity – which is certainly reassuring if you have ever been called by the dog's name.
A method to the madness
The finding that we often mix up names that are semantically and phonetically related, rather than at random, gives insights into the way our memories for names are organised in the brain.
The brain tends to group names that are related. They can be related because they belong to a similar semantic category (e.g. family members, school friends, work friends). Or, they can be related because they sound alike (e.g., names starting with "S").
According to network theories of language, each individual word is linked to other words that share similar conceptual properties. For example, your brother's name, Paul, might be linked to your other siblings' names (Kylie, David), as well as other names that start with "P" (Peter).
Because these names share links and are stored in close proximity in the brain, saying one name may also bring to mind other semantically or phonetically similar names. This maximises efficiency, as the brain is able to retrieve closely related information faster.
What happens when these processes break down?
Like knowledge about other types of cognitive abilities, much has been gained from studying people where the ability has been disrupted due to damage in the brain.
Our research group has a special interest in studying individuals with semantic dementia. Like other types of dementia, semantic dementia is caused by the abnormal accumulation of proteins in the brain. This ultimately leads to cell death and shrinkage of different brain regions.
In semantic dementia, the anterior temporal lobe, a part of the brain situated behind the ear, is most affected.
Individuals with semantic dementia, as the name suggests, show a progressive loss of semantic knowledge (our knowledge about facts, places, things and names). One of the earliest symptoms in semantic dementia is difficulty in naming things.
Naming difficulties in semantic dementia
People with semantic dementia show very specific types of naming errors. For example, they may call a "zebra" a "horse", or an "animal". This suggests that as semantic knowledge is lost, our understanding of the world becomes less specific and more generalised.
People with semantic dementia also have difficulty in recognising and naming people. This depends on which side of the brain is more affected.
People with semantic dementia who have more atrophy/shrinkage in the left hemisphere of the brain commonly struggle to recognise names. In contrast, those with greater atrophy in the right hemisphere have more trouble recognising people's faces.
This kind of research gives us important insights into how names are represented in the brain.
It's harder than it looks
The ability to recognise someone and call them by their correct name is incredibly complex, even though it feels like second nature to us.
Calling a person by their correct name requires integration of information across both hemispheres of the brain to connect face and name knowledge in mere milliseconds.
Understanding how this process goes wrong – whether through misnaming someone, struggling to say that word on the tip of your tongue, or switching around two words or sounds – gives us important insights into how our brain stores and retrieves the seemingly endless number of names and faces we know.
What does this mean for those of us who frequently misname our family and friends? Based on what we know about how names are organised in the brain, this common cognitive slip-up could be the brain's way of trying to make our life easier, rather than a sign of something sinister.
So next time you say the wrong name, spare a moment to consider how challenging this ability is and how much work our brains do in order for us to call someone by their name.

Visiting the show "Seeing Is Believing: Rebecca Campbell and Angela Ellsworth," now on display at the Phoenix Art Museum, I have to descend a small flight of steps, which seems somehow fitting in a weird way. Fitting because this is a show about descent of a kind — mainly, lineage or ancestry. But it's also a show about the passing down of memories that manifest the past.
The title of the show, "Seeing Is Believing," suggests these two artists have witnessed something and are here to show us what it is. Rebecca Campbell and Angela Ellsworth share some commonalities; both spent childhoods in Utah, having been raised within the religious traditions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although neither is now a part of the church, each artist explores gender roles, emotional conflict, and memory in her work. Ellsworth is an artist working locally, and Campbell is based in Los Angeles.
One of the reasons for the show's success lies in its bringing two compelling artists together and letting the interplay between the work of each woman happen. By integrating the two, resonance occurs. Both artists comment upon and reinforce one another in ways that give each a longer lens, encompassing historical and contemporary reference points.
When I entered the gallery space, my eye was drawn to two of the larger pieces in the room, a lifesize tree and a lifesize handcart. Campbell's Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? is an avocado tree reinforced with steel and fiberglass and covered in velvet. Several birds made of hand-blown glass are perched on its branches. The birds are a cheerful bright blue. They seem a little less cheerful when we find out that they are filled with Windex. Campbell's work has multiple references to pop culture, childhood, and personal memories. She also was inspired by John Singer Sargent's painting Madame X.
The lifesize handcart, just to the right of the tree, is Ellsworth's Leaving Loves Company. The handcart, made of cowhide, rabbit fur, steel, and graphite on wood, features a hand-drawn wood grain in graphite (it literally is a "drawn cart"). The piece is a representation of wood on top of wood.
The lifesize handcart is a reinterpretation of the handcarts used during the great Mormon migration, during which individuals literally walked across the country pushing their scant belongings in carts.
Ellsworth says, "Living histories are re-enacting history. I am interested in overhauling and re-creating history rather than re-enacting history. What about an all-woman handcart company? What would that look like?" Ellsworth's handcart has been customized with a leather interior and rabbit-fur cuffs, where one would place her hands to pull the handcart along the trail. Imagine the type of tough, visionary women who might pioneer with this handcart company?
Each of these large-scale pieces has somber beauty. From the juxtaposition of these works we see that these are two artists covering common ground but coming at it from different perspectives. In a nutshell, Ellsworth's work incorporates more historical references to a religious tradition and pricks at the genetic memory of a female experience within that religion. Campbell's work is more tangential; that is, the viewer might not necessarily read "Mormon" or pick up on the Mormon references or touch points, but they are nonetheless there. In the case of both women, a lot of serious questions are being asked.
One way to interpret the show is to consider that the pieces in the first room deal more with the "exterior," while the second room is concerned more with "interior" explorations; the domestic space — sometimes an almost haunted domestic space. The show is filled with the tension between opposites — particularly, beauty and unease. Also present is the duality of periphery versus normalization.
My favorite painting of the show is Campbell's The Wizard, a painting of a parquet wood floor, two folding chairs (one opened, one closed), and an accordion-style floor-to-ceiling curtain. It essentially is a painting (with a rather bland palette) of a curtain.
When I asked Campbell about the painting, she said, "On the surface, this is the most benign painting in the world." Campbell says she was thinking about the "moment in The Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls back the curtain to reveal the great and powerful Oz." It's about all the tension of that moment — the tension of who is allowed to see what. Gender roles within the church preclude women from holding the priesthood, and women historically have had less visibility in the church. The folding curtains also are used in Mormon churches simply to define space, from an area of worship to an area where a pickup game of basketball might be played.
Another Campbell painting, Mary Had a Little Lamb, features a woman lying with a baby in her arms; a young boy sits at her side on a pinwheel-pattern quilt. The mother figure looks, if not dead, then at least very "away." I sensed something sublime about the painting — then, I noticed the mother has three arms. Do the multiple arms signify something superhuman about her? Or is she a freak show? The third arm's placement suggests a flipping between two things, like frozen animation cels. A back-and-forth; the body split between what — the desire to mother versus the desire to do something else? Is it asking how is it possible to love two things?
A new work in the show is Ellsworth's Well, I've Been Standing Here. This installation includes a set of white-tiered steps, into which has been submerged a stair-climber. Only the exercise equipment's two foot-pedals are visible. Behind the tiered pedestal is a large backdrop with a royal blue sky and puffy cumulus clouds. The effect of the backdrop is celestial, heavenly. Is the person on the pedestal walking in the clouds? Or on the treadmill to spiritual transcendence?
The title of the piece comes from a line in the Stevie Nicks song "Stand Back." In the video for that song, Nicks walks down a treadmill with chiffon fabric flowing all around her.
Ellsworth says the installation references Salt Lake City's Tempe Square visitor's center, which has a blue, curved wall with a cosmos mural leading to a sculpture of Jesus in robes standing in front of it. The pedestal with two pedals on Ellsworth's Well, I've Been Standing Here alludes to the presence of a body, even though a body is absent in the installation. Much of Ellsworth's work is exploring the visibility/invisibility of women. In this piece, the viewer is allowed to imagine whomever she might want to imagine in that heavenly space. A video of the artist walking, dressed in pink sister-wife garb and flowing chiffon fabric, plays on a monitor to the right of the installation.
There is aggression in this show — female aggression. It contains vibrant color and seductiveness, but make no mistake: Heavy undercurrents creep in as you spend time in the gallery space. There is something badass and forceful in the work. It is threaded with purposefulness yet succeeds at the same time in being beautiful, lush, and even delicate.
There is a lot at play in "Seeing Is Believing." And the timing couldn't be more right. Recently, two "I am Mormon" billboards went up in my Phoenix neighborhood, as the LDS church rolls out an ad campaign here. These same billboards have been released in other cities, debuting in New York City this past summer. The ads seem to be saying, "Look how normal I am" without any of the complex questions or emotional conflict simmering throughout this show. The ads are another, albeit totally sanitized, invitation to "see."

in memoriam - Carlos C. Cerri (1946-2017)
Dr. Cerri in a central region in Brazil
The IUSS Secretariat was sad to learn that our distinguished colleague – and our friend – Carlos Clemente Cerri passed away on 22 April 2017 at the age of 71. Latin America has lost one of its most famous soil scientists. Carlos Cerri was born on 12 November 1946. He graduated as agronomist in 1971. He took his master degree in 1974 and his PhD in 1979 in soil science.
For many years, he was a full professor at the "Centro de Energia Nuclear na Agricultura" (CENA) of the São Paulo University (USP, Brazil), where he taught graduate students and performed research on soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation in tropical conditions. He published or co-published about 260 scientific articles and more than 100 in prestigious international journals, 41 book chapters and 6 books. He supervised more than 40 master and PhD students from Brazil and abroad.
Dr. Cerri´s initial scientific career focused on soil organic matter dynamics, in particular he worked on humus characterization, under different natural ecosystems and agricultural land uses in Brazil. In 1985, in cooperation with Christian Feller's ORSTOM lab in Martinique, he published the method to identify the origin of soil carbon remaining from natural vegetation and introduced by crop residues, using the 13C/12C isotopic technique. This method is still being used in soil science research in a variety of land uses throughout the world.
After a sabbatical time (around 1980) at the Jenkinson's lab in Rothamstead, he was one of the pioneers to estimate soil microbial biomass activities under native and cultivated soils in Latin America.
The methods he developed with regard to humus characterization, the use of isotopes as well as the measurement of soil microbial biomass were transferred by Dr. Cerri not only to other institutes in Brazil but also to other countries in South America.
Dr. Cerri and his family took a sabbatical leave at the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center at the Ohio State University in 1998-99 and developed a strong cooperation with Prof. Rattan Lal. Together, Dr. Cerri and Prof. Lal organized a conference at Piracicaba in 2005, and pulbished a book entitled "Carbon sequestration in soils of Latin America".
Dr. Cerri´s last research areas of interest were related to the impacts of agricultural expansion on soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. He was the coordinator of a large project on the mentioned subject, which was carried out in the Brazilian Amazon. This project integrated environmental techniques, such as the characterization of soil properties, Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing, geostatistics, and modeling approaches, with the human dimension.
He took part in various national and international committees and boards, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Program (TSBF), member of French Academy of Agriculture, "Chevalier dans l´Ordre de Palmes Académiques" of France and Commend of the Ordem Nacional de Mérito Científico-Brazilian President Decree. He received numerous Brazilian and international awards. In 2007, Carlos was associated to the Nobel Peace Prize given to IPCC and Al Gore.
He was director of CENA between 1991-1997 and coordinator of 51 national and international scientific projects in agriculture and environmental sciences, including grants from the European Union (EU), National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Global Environment Facility (GEF), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Inter American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) and national funding agencies such as Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), Coordenação de Aperfeicamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq).
Since 1988 he has been coordinating bilateral cooperation with ORSTOM, presently known as Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), from which he hosted more than 20 French researchers. Other official collaborations with the Ecosystem Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL, USA), Ohio State University (OSU, USA), Colorado State University (CSU, USA) and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC, Spain) were also coordinated by Dr. Cerri. In addition, collaborations with researchers from India, Kenya, Jordan, the Netherlands, USA and England were made possible through a project called "Assessment of soil organic carbon stocks and change at national scale".
In addition to being a remarkable scientist, Carlos Cerri was a fantastic friend with great human qualities and a deep sense of empathy for people. Christian Feller met him the first time in 1980 at the French Centre for Atomic Energy (CEA, Cadarache, France) and Martial Bernoux in 1992 during his civil service, which he did at Cerri's lab. Both scientists immediately struck up a friendship with Carlos. Both worked at Cerri's lab and lived in Piracicaba for many years (and great years they were) and continued to visit him often, after going back to France. And he, in turn, visited them many times in France. Christian Feller paid a last visit to Carlos and his family on 29 November 2016, when the latter was already seriously ill.
Carlos is survived by his beloved wife, Ana, his two sons Ado and Gui, also agronomists, and his four grandchildren.
He will be very much missed for a long time to come by his family and by all who knew him or were touched by his work and friendship.
By Christian FELLER (IRD, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, France) and Martial BERNOUX (IRD and FAO, Italy)

The SLX high output ultraviolet fixture from UV Resources disinfects HVACR airstreams, cooling coils, and drain pans. The SLX fixture, which stands for Single Lamp eXterior-mounted fixture, offers facility managers and building owners an option to disinfect air and surfaces that are typically inaccessible from inside the air handler. Additionally, when applied adjacent to the cooling coil, the company says the high output lamps can deliver improved HVAC heat transfer, decrease energy use, reduce maintenance downtime, and improve IAQ.
The SLX lamps provide 360-degrees of high UV-C intensity and mounts to the exterior of supply, return, or exhaust plenums or ducts. The lamps are ideal for a full-range of applications including air streams of 33ºF to 170ºF, 100-percent rh, and any velocity.
The SLX fixture comes standard with the EncapsuLamp™ (FEP lamp coating) technology, which helps to protect installers, plenums, and air streams from lamp residues such as gas, mercury, and glass should an accidental lamp break occur. In addition, it insulates the lamp's surface from the fluctuating temperatures of AC systems, which, according to UV Resources, can affect lamp output and performance.

Endowed professorships are a bridge between science, business, and society. They are financed by external funding organizations such as foundations, businesses and industrial enterprises, or public bodies. They are generally devoted to an innovative field of research or make a special contribution to teaching with a view to establishing new subjects. Endowed professorships are fixed-term, often for a period of five years.
The possibility for exchange with the endowing institution guarantees practically relevant research and teaching that take account of the very latest developments. Like their fellow professors, endowed professors exercise their rights and duties in research, teaching and academic self-administration without restriction vis-à-vis their university.
When setting up endowed professorships with its non-university partners, Technische Universität Berlin complies with the Code of Conduct of the Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft (in German.)
A condition of endowed professorships is and remains the freedom of research and teaching.
Appointments and Strategic Cooperations is responsible for endowed professorships at TU Berlin.

Some people consider Bitcoin as a kind of virtual gold, since the financial crisis of 2008 interest in crypto-currencies has really gained momentum. Mark from — pandaseo.co.uk said he believes the reason for the rapid growth of crypto-currencies is because more and more people around the world are waking up to the fact that they are trading their time and energies for something called "fiat currency", fiat currency is not really backed by anything other than faith in the issuing central banks government and world financial system.
Fiat currency can be created at the press of a few buttons by central banks like The Federal Reserve, The Federal Reserve is currently creating money at record levels using a process called (QE) Quantitative Easing. Most people don't know that even high-street banks can generate currency at the press of a button, thanks to a system known as fractional reserve banking.
The continued QE and speculation interest have led to an increase in the value of commodities like gold, silver and of course oil. Bitcoin has risen to be worth a considerable amount of currency too, Bitcoin and Quark coin like commodities have a limited supply, these two crypto-currencies need to be mined into existence. Mark from Panda SEO Services said he is not sure if the crypto-currencies will hold their value long-term but he is happy to accept them as payment for his services at the moment.

Back in August, XSEED Games announced the Western release of Way of the Samurai 4 but only gave it a tentative Summer 2012 release window. The publisher has now officially announced the release date for the game — and it's very close!
Offering a unique setting, Way of the Samurai 4 opens in mid-19th century Japan. For hundreds of years, the Japanese shogunate has operated under a strict policy of isolation, keeping the nation walled off from foreign trade and cultural influence. Now, for the first time in centuries, Japan has opened its borders to the world beyond. This new cultural landscape has created countless opportunities for the ambitious, and players are thrown into this world as a masterless samurai looking to make a name for himself.
Players will begin their experience in Way of the Samurai 4 by creating their own customized character. After building their samurai warrior and choosing from one of three distinct age groups – youth, young man or middle-aged – players are thrown into a tumultuous power struggle between three factions: the shogunate pro-governmental forces, the nationalistic isolationists, and the foreign powers who are heavily influenced by the British Navy.
Way of the Samurai 4 will be released exclusively as a digital download via PSN on August 21 for $39.99.

Special Olympics 2017 finds a new friend in Klagenfurt
A new friendship was born on one of the biggest stages for sport in Austria – the A1 Major Klagenfurt embraced the idea of the Special Olympics 2017 and a team from the Fachhochschule Kufstein Tirol is currently in the capital of beach volleyball to bring a new and different spirit to the fans.
Between the 14th and the 25th March next year, the Special Olympics 2017 is going to host the World Winter Games in Graz, Schladming and Ramsau, and will have at its disposal the strongest platform to fulfil its goal of driving social change through sport.
Over 3,000 athletes from all around the globe will gather in Austria and prove once again without doubt that people with intellectual disabilities can be an inspiration for our society and become a 'Heartbeat for the world', as the slogan of the event states.
Even though the Games will be focused on the winter disciplines, sport is the common language here and the A1 Major Klagenfurt tells the story perfectly. That is why the FH Kufstein team had the chance to engage with passionate beach volleyball fans, meet the stars and introduce the Special Olympics into the spirit of this unique event. Now the students have done the talking – next March it will be the athletes' turn.

The Psychology Behind Luxury and eCommerce
Luxury and eCommerce, do they go hand in hand?
After all, luxury is about exclusivity, being part of a story, feeling special. eCommerce, like other internet-based trends, is often about democratisation.
Yet, eCommerce companies like Yoox Group, Net-a-Porter and Gilt have all shown that there are eCommerce models for luxury fashion. And as Federico Marchetti, the founder and CEO of Yoox Group, told John Seabrook of The New Yorker, there are those people that want to link the seemingly divergent planets of luxury and eCommerce:
"I loved the fact that they were so different, and I could bring them together. Fashion was all about exclusivity, and Internet was all about democracy; fashion was for the élite, Internet for the masses—someone had to link the two planets."
But is luxury the exclusive purview of traditional luxury powerhouses, the kinds of brands Marchetti works with at Yoox, like Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Diesel?
Or can small and medium sized eCommerce businesses, such as many of those using WooCommerce, get in on the act?

Tenuous US-China trade deal comes as Beijing and Washington remain on a permanent collision course
By sharply accelerating in recent months its trade adjustment with the U.S., China has finally done what it should have initiated more than two years ago.
Beijing is on the way to seriously dismantling Washington's economic and political leverage over China's economy. During 11 months of last year, China stepped up the rate of decline of its trade surplus with the U.S. to 16.2%.
Feverish sinologists would call that "decoupling" — a misnomer for China's belated exit from a position of an excessive and unsustainable trade surplus with the U.S.
Those sinologists don't seem to notice that China is getting out of that self-imposed structural trap by aggressively slashing its U.S. purchases at an annual rate of 12% between January and November of last year.
Instead of worrying about "decoupling," advocates of friendly U.S.-China ties should remind Beijing that it should be doing exactly the opposite — by drastically stepping up imports of American goods and services. If the Chinese did that, they would not have to abandon their U.S. markets by cutting exports at an annual rate of 15.2%, as they did for nearly all of last year.
So, the question is: Who is in a hurry to "decouple?"
Looking at trade flows and China's declining holdings of U.S. debt, the Chinese have apparently concluded that a rapid narrowing of U.S. exposure was a matter of their national interest.
That conclusion has come after years of pleading for a "win-win cooperation," while Washington kept trying to contain China's growing global economic and political influence. Instead of cooperation, the U.S. defined its relationship with China as a strategic competition with a country seeking to destroy the Western (i.e., American) world order.
Cooperation made sense for China because it meant an open access to U.S. markets and technology transfers. The U.S., however, finally began to see things differently as it woke up from its evanescing dream that an increasingly prosperous China would shake off its communist rule and join the U.S.-led Western community.
What followed was a radical U.S. policy change Beijing apparently did not expect. China's huge, and growing, American trade surpluses became an imminent strategic danger that had to be fought by tariffs, sanctions and strict limits to Chinese investments in the U.S. economy.
That is the tense economic and political context of last week's trade deal, where the U.S. sought to impose controls on China's trade and financial policies, under permanent pressure from an intrusive enforcement mechanism.
Glad-handing and vacuous rhetoric aside, the truth is that both countries have now stepped into a new phase of strategic competition.
China has no illusions about that. Beijing, therefore, seems determined to rapidly shrink its trade imbalance with the U.S. in an anxious quest for alternatives to dollar-denominated trades and a dollar-dominated world financial system.
A tall order? Yes, but Beijing sees no other way of protecting its vital economic interests while remaining on a permanent collision course with the U.S. on so many war-and-peace issues: Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula and China's contested maritime borders.
A tall order indeed, but China is making progress on that long march.
Last year, for example, China significantly diversified its trade flows. Its export business with Southeast Asia, Africa and nations along the Belt and Road corridors made it possible to obtain an export growth of 5%, in spite of double-digit declines in sales to the U.S.
And here is the upshot: China's soaring exports last December show that those new trade patterns are providing stable and growing outlets for Chinese businesses.
Washington cannot stop that because its Asian and European friends and allies won't sacrifice their economic and strategic interests in order to follow U.S. demands to cut their China trades.
As recently as last week, the EU announced that it would treat Huawei's 5G technology "fairly," dismissing as a "bluff" Washington's threats to stop intelligence sharing with European allies. Germany went even further. Berlin put aside complaints from its companies about their shrinking market access in China, counting on political dialogue with Beijing and spurning trade war ideas.
What can Washington do?
It's all very simple: Compete and vigorously defend America's economic interests on the basis of free, fair and reciprocal trade and investment rules.

Previously from the Estate of Theodore Allen Heinrich (1910-1981). Professor Heinrich was an art historian, curator, and educator. From 1955 to 1962, he was the director of the Royal Ontario Museum, and afterwards he taught art history at the University of Saskatchewan, and York University.
An Important Collection of Indian Miniature Paintings from a Private Toronto Estate
Highly influenced by the Royal Ontario Museum's collection of South Asian art, the collector amassed his collection beginning in the early 1960s from a handful of local Toronto galleries such as The Hundred Antiques, Isaacs Gallery, and Dunkelman Gallery. His acquisitions spanned well into the 2000s, frequently purchasing from auctions in the past such as Waddington's as well.

Climate change is caused by human activities, like the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy, releasing unprecedented amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases (GHGs), like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others, contribute to the greenhouse effect, which is warming our planet and disrupting the balance of our natural, life-sustaining, systems.
Even if we could stop emitting today over the next fifty years, the capital region will see longer, drier summers and wetter winters, more intense and frequent storms, and rising sea levels. Without action, these changes threaten a variety of regional and local government services, as well as overall community health and well-being.
In February 2019, the Capital Regional District (CRD) Board joined many other local governments across the globe in declaring a climate emergency and identified Climate Action & Environmental Stewardship as a top priority. The CRD is working to reduce the organization's greenhouse gases, prepare for climate impacts and support climate action efforts across the region. In 2021, CRD staff completed a comprehensive, data-driven planning process to create a renewed Climate Action Strategy that provides clarity on the role the CRD can play as a leader in climate action over the next five years. Read more >>
Even though climate change is a global problem, we can make a big difference locally. We all have a role to play in reducing our GHG emissions and mitigating the worst effects of climate change by rethinking how we heat our buildings, how we get around, what we consume, and how we dispose of our waste. We must prepare our infrastructure and lands for the effects of climate change to build more resilient communities.

Important Tips for Traveling.
With the recent airport security enhancements, travelers are justifiably confused about how to travel safely. Here are some tips to help you survive the airport unscathed.
• The temporary restriction of carry-on bags on flights to the United States resulting from the December 25, 2009 security incident was removed on January 20, 2010. Travelers are now permitted one carry-on bag in all Canadian airports as long as they do not exceed a size of 23 cm x 40 cm x 55 cm. In addition to the small carry-on bag, travelers may also bring one of the following: a small purse, laptop or camera bag.
• Canadian Air Transport Security Authority provides travelers with a complete list of updated security guidelines.
• When travelling domestically, try to abide by the weight restrictions on your carry-on baggage. Travellers are permitted one personal article (purse) and one standard article (roller bag) – each 22 pounds or less. It saves you the time and embarrassment of having to open and rearrange you bags in the middle of a busy airport.
• Pet carriers not exceeding 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm and a maximum weight of 22 pounds, animal included, are allowed on board. Pets are not permitted in Executive First Class, due to cabin configuration.
• If you bring liquids onboard a domestic flight, ensure that they are 100 millilitres or less, enclosed in clear plastic baggies.
• Wear comfortable footwear. Security requests that you remove your shoes before passing through, so fancy stilettos with zippers and laces might not be the best choice.
• And, most importantly, try to look your best … you never know who you'll meet upon arrival!

I get what Danny Granger is doing.
I don't have a problem with it. My only issue is if you are going to play the studio gangsta role you can't let the guy you are defending get 40, 18 & 9.
That is like a boxer getting knockout and talking trash while doing the Zab Judah dance.
"Whatever he's trying, it is not working," James said on Tuesday. "He's said he's not scared of LeBron, 'I want to let (James) know.' I guess he's doing it for his own psyche. It's stupid."
Wade believes Granger is doing things for show.
"My message to Granger was that you just can't keep running up into people's faces for altercations. We're not fighting on this basketball court so let's not act like we're going to fight. We can be physical and do all that but certain things got to stop. Are you out here to play basketball or are you out here to be a tough guy?"
Tonight is the game in my mind that decides the series.
Highly unlikely the Pacers win a game 7 on the road, they have been talking with their chest out all series, this is the time to back it up.
Heat probably a little relaxed with some of the pressure off them, best time to go for the kill if you are the Pacers.

Refugee students struggle with displacement and trauma. Here are 3 ways schools can help them belong
As the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan culminated in tragic scenes at Kabul airport in recent months, Australians saw a glimpse of the lives of people trying to escape dangerous situations to find safety for their families.
Many Afghans were brought to Australia, some having to tragically leave behind families.
Australia is anticipated to issue about 3,000 humanitarian visas to Afghan refugees this year. That number could grow to 20,000 in the next few years. About half of the refugee population resettled to Australia are children.
Overall, there are more than 11,000 students from refugee backgrounds attending government schools in New South Wales and about 1,800 new refugee students enter the state school system each year.
Principals and teachers are among Australia's most important front-line workers. Over the past two years, they have helped communities deal with fires, floods and COVID-19 lockdowns.
In our recently published book Creating Spaces of Wellbeing and Belonging for Refugee and Asylum-Seeker Students we provide strategies for school leaders to help care for young people dealing with trauma and forced migration, and to help them integrate into their new communities.
Why refugee students need help
Around the world more than 80 million people are listed as displaced from their homes – more than 26 million of those are classified as refugees. The refugees are primarily from Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Somalia and Myanmar.
Half the refugees are under 18 years of age.
Since 1945, Australia has resettled about 945,000 refugees who were displaced from their home countries. The current government policy is to relocate 13,750 people a year from mostly war-torn countries to Australia.
New refugees come to Australia mainly from:
Democratic Republic of Congo
Many Australian teachers and school leaders report feeling unprepared to serve refugee students. Our research suggests school principals and staff are vital to the successful integration of refugee children into society.
Refugee students often have limited English. Some have little or no formal prior schooling experiences. Some may be well behind their peers academically and much of the curriculum may appear completely foreign which can lead to more insecurity.
Many students come from families with few resources. Their parents are also dealing with the mental health issues associated with forced migration and tremendous loss.
There are significant differences between these students' experiences and that of their hosts. The principal of one Australian school whom we interviewed told us how some newly arrived students refused to play at recess because in their home country, kidnappers, "think parents are rich if the children can afford to play".
Another principal told of girls who refused to swim in the same pool with boys and mothers who didn't feel comfortable attending parent-teacher meetings with other men.
Our participants offered insights for addressing these challenges and creating welcoming schools for children with refugee backgrounds. We've grouped these into three main themes.
1. Welcoming new arrivals
At the first contact with refugee and asylum-seeker families, the entire school staff must be available, friendly and committed to the process of integrating these families. School materials need to be in the appropriate language and interpreters must be present.
Schools should provide families with many of their needs at the initial meeting. This can include culturally appropriate uniforms and supplies (such as stationery) so students can feel a sense of belonging.
A primary principal in England told us how she developed a buddy system in which newly arrived children were paired with same-age peers, proficient in English, who also shared similar language backgrounds.
An Australian principal created a weekly coffee club for newly arrived parents that he staffs with interpreters. He said:
At those coffee clubs they discuss different topics: they looked at how to buy furniture, how to make a healthy meal on a budget, where do you have to go if you have to see a doctor. Because they don't have access to those things.
A high school principal in New Zealand provided all families who volunteered to cook for a cultural evening with funds for the ingredients they needed to make their dishes. This gave an ideal opportunity for newcomers to share food from their home countries with the broader school community.
For each of these principals, community building is a purposeful, consistent and time-intensive endeavour.
2. Help staff to understand trauma
Children who have been forcibly displaced from their homes, who have experienced loss of family members and who have arrived in a new land, with a new language and new expectations are experiencing trauma. Trauma can manifest in delayed learning, erratic emotions, and unexpected behaviours.
Principals should educate themselves and their staff on ways to help students deal with trauma.
One Australian primary principal told us he hired a teacher to engage students in art therapy. He said:
There was one boy who drew mountain tops and explained to us the strategies that the Taliban use. It's this way that they were able to draw it and express it and to get it out. It has a therapeutic nature which allows them to have some self-expression. That allowed them a voice, when they didn't necessarily have the English.
3. Learn about new students and families
Principals should encourage their staff to learn about new students and their families. This includes learning about their culture and traditions, as well as listening carefully as students tell their stories in class.
One principals told us:
Kids will tell you about their parents, who are still missing in the country that they left, or how the house has been bombed three times by the Americans […] These are all the stories that come out but listening to the kids and you can see the healing that happens as a result of that.
Another primary principal encourages engaging with the refugees' cultural communities: "Go and visit the local mosque, go and ask some questions".
Successfully integrating new families into our school communities benefits not only the newcomers, it also creates hope for all Australian families.
Building a diverse society starts with caring and promoting the well-being of all children, particularly newcomers who have been through so much to become part of our communities.

Conventional clustering methods typically assume that each data item belongs to a single cluster. This assumption does not hold in general. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a generative method for clustering vectorial data, where each object can be assigned to multiple clusters. Using a deterministic annealing scheme, our method decomposes the observed data into the contributions of individual clusters and infers their parameters.
Experiments on synthetic Boolean data show that our method achieves higher accuracy in the source parameter estimation and superior cluster stability compared to state-of-the-art approaches. We also apply our method to an important problem in computer security known as role mining. Experiments on real-world access control data show performance gains in generalization to new employees against other multi-assignment methods. In challenging situations with high noise levels, our approach maintains its good performance, while alternative state-of-the-art techniques lack robustness.

Prepare to have your mind blown with this week's Herbie of the Week. Jason did a total 180 -- switching Atkins to Vegan after watching Forks Over Knives and losing 77lbs! But I don't want to give too much away in the first sentence...
Before picture
HH: As a self-declared "carnivore" what motivated you to watch Forks Over Knives in the first place?
My wife and I have always been documentary lovers. Food Inc., Supersize Me, King Corn and many others have made us aware of many sad realities in our nation's food industry and how money, politics and power effect what we are taught about food. We were not completely blind to the issues before, but these documentaries brought a lot into focus. Forks Over Knives was just another film we watched as a continuation of self-education about the food industry.
Additionally, in the days before watching the film, I had experienced terrifying chest pain after physical exertion on a couple of occasions. Doctor visits showed that it was not a heart attack, but we discovered I had high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. And this was after losing 50lbs. I felt like I should be getting more healthy, not less.
Shannon, my wife, was terrified about losing me and I had no desire to go. I cherish my time here. This is the frame of mind I was in when we hit play on Netflix.
HH: What went through your mind as you were watching the film?
How crazy and impossible this kind of lifestyle seemed. I had actual tears from fear of sudden death AND from the fear that I might have to do something as drastic as giving up meat and dairy.
I also thought about my relatives on one side of the family who had died from cancer and those on the other side with heart and blood pressure problems. I remembered my own visits to the hospital... I was scared. I realized time was running out, procrastination could be fatal.
HH: How did you make the change... from Atkins to Plant-Based?
I think the 180 degree turn that I made was the best "rip the band-aid off" solution for me, but it also meant that all of the major changes happened at the same time.
HH: What kind of changes did you experience, beyond what was on your plate, that is!
Weight fell off, blood pressure dropped and I could exercise without fear of chest pain; I didn't have that scary chest pain anymore.
The first change I noticed was the drastic reduction in the amount of garbage my family of 5 was putting on the curb!
HH: What's your new food philosophy?
Throughout the day, I eat whatever whole food I want. If it is only 1 step from the ground, it's on the menu. Fruits, nuts, vegetables. I don't eat three meals a day--I graze all day long. I also drink a lot of water.
At dinner, Shannon does wonderful things with The Happy Herbivore Cookbook and other swapped recipes with online friends.
HH: Do you feel your diet is more limited or more abundant now?
We have been experiencing soups, and wraps, and hummus, and baked squash and a million other things I never would have wasted my time with before. It is like going on vacation to a foreign country and getting to try new and exotic foods all the time.
HH: What do you now think about the Atkins diet?
I have met too many happy, successful, thin people that can thank low carb, animal rich diets to be negative toward the lifestyle for everyone. However, I do desperately wish that I had given up Atkins years ago and made this change then. I feel like I wasted time damaging myself, but the FOK documentary filled me with hope because of the talk of repair and recovery. I like that I can heal myself with food.
From a global perspective, I think Atkins is an abomination--I used so much of Earth's energy up (I'm not nearly as Hippie as that sounds) JUST so I could easily lose all of the store up fat/energy on my body. The animals and dairy came at a huge environmental cost and now I feel like a mooch for taking advantage of what seemed like an easy way out.
I did a life count recently and it was sickening in retrospect. Not even counting the cows involved in dairy production, or the number of different animals found in a single sausage, I still averages three lives a day, each day on Atkins. 1,000 animals a year is a severely low balled number and that still sickens me.
I've never been an animal rights activist because I was so adept at turning off my brain to what was happening behind the scenes. Its easy to eat meat when you think magic wizards make it out of thin air and zap it into the grocery store. In the last 48 days I had tiny bites of turkey and tuna and have some guilt associated with it.
HH: Any advice for people motivated to make a plant-based change?
First- watch FOK then open up the documentary section on Netflix and go to town on food and health videos. You can make yourself virtually heart attack proof (Engine 2) and cancer proof (The China Study). If a healthy, long life isn't enough, throw in saving the Earth in 100 different ways, saving money out the wazoo, experiencing food all over again and making jobs for hundreds of millions globally.
There is no person on Earth that can make you live a plant-based lifestyle -- except YOU. Embrace the lifestyle first and you will plow through the initial rough patches and spend the rest of your life getting healthier.
HH: Thanks Jason! You are such an inspiration -- be sure to check out his blog, too!
UPDATE: Two years later Jason checked in with an update. Read his progress here.

Three overseas returnees and one linked to HCMC hotspot Buddha bar reported as four new coronavirus infections in Vietnam Tuesday evening.
"Patient 247" is the case related to the Buddha Bar & Grill in Ho Chi Minh City, now the second biggest hotspot of Covid-19 in the country.
He is a 28-year-old man residing in Ward 1, Binh Thanh District, HCMC. He works at Gia Dinh Shoes Co. Ltd as manager of the company's office at 20A Dong Khoi Street, Thanh Phu Commune, Vinh Phu District of Dong Nai Province, which neighbors HCMC. The company has another office in An Phu Dong Ward, District 2 of HCMC.
He works with two infected patients and had been in close contact with those two.
One of his colleagues, "Patient 124," is a Brazilian man, 52, who lives in HCMC's District 2. On March 14, he joined a party at the Buddha Bar in Thao Dien Ward of HCMC's District 2 and was quarantined on March 22 before testing Covid-19 positive.
The other colleague, "Patient 151," is a 45-year-old Brazilian woman residing in Thao Dien.
After "Patient 124" was confirmed, "Patient 247" was sent to a quarantine camp in Dong Nai on March 24. Two days later, the test arrived as negative for him.
At the quarantine camp, he had stayed in a same room with four others who had also been in close contact with Patients 124 and 151. On April 6, the test was run once again and the result was positive. He has been transferred to Dong Nai Lung Hospital for treatment.
The four people that had been quarantined in the same room with "Patient 247" will continue to stay in quarantine for another 14 days. For now, they have yet to show any Covid-19 symptoms.
"Patient 247" brought the number of cases related to the Buddha bar to 19, following the nation's biggest hotspot, the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, with 44 cases.
The other three cases are all Vietnamese returning from abroad who have been sent to quarantine upon arrival.
"Patient 246" is a 33-year-old man in Yen Thanh District in the central province of Nghe An. He works as a chef in Moscow, Russia and returned to Vietnam on Aeroflot flight SU290, seat 49F, on March 25. He tested positive on Arpil 6 and is now undergoing treatment at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi's Dong Anh District.
"Patient 248" is 20. He flew from the U.S. to Vietnam on Japan Airlines flight JL079 that transited in Japan. After landing in HCMC on March 23, he is sent to a quarantine camp at a university dormitory in Thu Duc District and stayed in the same room with two other people. On April 5, he tested positive. His two roommates are now put under quarantine for 14 days while he has been sent to HCMC's field hospital in Cu Chi District.
"Patient 249" is a man, 55. He flew back from the U.S., transited in Hong Kong, and arrived in Vietnam on March 22. Later he had a headache and fever and was tested positive. He is now treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
Latest additions have brought the national tally to 249. Of the cases, 122 have been discharged, including 27 on Tuesday.
Of the cases in Vietnam, 156 are overseas returnees. The remaining 93 had got infected via close contact with the source of transmission, including 63 from the two hotspots of Buddha Bar and Bach Mai Hospital.

Raft Chess (Floßschach)Raft chess is a modest chess variant where a part of the board is submerged by water. Two rafts are floating in the water. The game was invented in Germany, probably at the chessclub Stotel/Loxstedt (near Bremen). My description follows the booklet Schach mal anders.
Board and setupThe usual board is divided in land and water. The land consists of the ranks 1, 2, 7, and 8, and of the files a and b. The rest of the board is water and may not be entered by any chess piece. There are two rafts consisting of 2 times 2 squares floating in the water.
The pieces start at their usual position and each player chooses a starting position for one raft.
MovesPieces can move onto a raft, from a raft, and they can move on a raft. They cannot move across a raft in one move, they have to stop there. Moves from one raft to the other are possible. A player who has a majority of pieces on a raft can move the raft instead of a regular move. Allowed raft moves are: Move the raft one space rookwise or rotate the raft 90 degrees.
Aim and RulesThe aim is checkmate of the other king. All rules of FIDE chess apply.
ReferenceDeutsche Schachjugend (editors): Schach mal anders, Berlin 1996.

HP, we all know has started taking pre orders for its Windows 10 Mobile device all over the world. Now the company is planning to release a new firmware update to its Device. The people who already own a HP Elite X3 device are on Windows 10 Mobile version 10586.420.
The HP Elite X3 is not yet available with Features of Windows Hello and Double Tap to Wake for its Windows 10 Mobile Device. However it is a well known fact that the Features of Windows Hello and Double Tap to wake , the users have to be on the Latest Anniversary Update RS1.
The users who own the HP Elite X3 have to join the Windows Insider Programme Release Preview to get the latest Anniversary Update version RS1. The users will be getting the access to Iris Fingerprint Scanner, Double tap to wake features after upgrading to the Anniversary update.
The people who already own an HP Elite X3 out of the box have had issues with the Camera App which crashes more often than not, the company is in notice of the same and is releasing a new firmware to fix some of the issues and also release some new features to its High End Windows 10 Mobile Phone like the Iris camera, HP Financial Calculator, HP Display tools and more.
Probably its a bad thing on part of HP having plans to release the Elite X3 with an older version of Windows 10 and users having to join Windows Insider programme to upgrade to the latest version.
What do you think about the latest features the company is releasing with the new Firmware update let us know in the comments below.

I encountered Shakespeare the first time by sheer luck. The 11th grade English class was taking a bus trip to Stratford, Canada and had an extra ticket. I was only in 10th grade, but my mom — a former English teacher herself — was friends with the 11th grade teacher. I got to ride along to see Henry IV, part 2.
I rode along with the English trips the next couple of years. They all concentrated on the history plays. The year I started college, a friend and I drove to Canada to see The Tempest. It continues to be the most brilliant, transformative play I've ever seen.
After that, I took every Shakespeare class I could find. I haven't read every last plays, but I've read most of them, even the difficult ones. I've seen every production I could, from Shakespeare in the Park to the movie adaptions to a spectacularly misguided production of Macbeth in Ann Arbor.
A couple of years ago, I saw the We Players' production of Hamlet on Alcatraz Island. The company incorporated the crumbling prison into the play. From a multitude of ghosts speaking as Hamlet's father to the garbage pickers pawing through the rubble behind the gravediggers as Hamlet fondles Yorrick's skull, death and dissolution wound all through the play.
This week's Cemetery of the Week is going to honor the author of all these wonderful horror stories.

Pentecost Celebrations
Students From Both Cardinal Heenan and Broughton Hall High Schools Led Parts of the Liturgy at St Margaret Mary's Parish
The feast of Pentecost is also known as the birthday of the Church by many and St Margaret Mary's Parish in Huyton opened the doors and welcomed students from across the year groups to celebrate with them. Students led a drama reflecting upon the meaning and message of the story of the first Pentecost and followed this up with a time of thought provoking reflection, linking to the exciting event of Synod 2020 next year. Bidding prayers, the offertory and sign language to the beautiful hymn Be still for the presence of the Lord were also led by the students, who were made to feel very welcome in the beautiful surroundings of the church.
Thank you to all the members of St Margaret Mary's parish for making us feel so very welcome and congratulations to all students involved for your hard work and sharing of faith in action.
