Cambridge scientists have developed a new way to fortify shellfish to tackle human nutrient deficiencies which cause severe health problems across the world. The team is now working with major seafood manufacturers to further test their microencapsulation technology, or "Vitamin Bullets".
Cambridge scientists have developed a new way to fortify shellfish to tackle human nutrient deficiencies which cause severe health problems across the world. The team is now working with major seafood manufacturers to further test their microencapsulation technology, or "Vitamin Bullets".
Targeted use of this technology in regions worst affected by nutrient deficiencies ... could help improve the health of millionsDavid Willer
Over two billion people worldwide are nutrient deficient, leading to a wide range of serious health problems. Fortifying food with micronutrients is already an industry standard for enhancing public health but now scientists at Cambridge's Department of Zoology have teamed up with Cambridge-based company BioBullets to supercharge one of the world's most healthy and sustainable sources of animal protein: bivalve shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels.
Dr David Aldridge and PhD student David Willer have produced the world's first microcapsule specially designed to deliver nutrients to bivalves which are beneficial to human health. These "Vitamin Bullets" – manufactured under patent by Aldridge's company, BioBullets – are tailored for optimal size, shape, buoyancy and to appeal to shellfish.
This breakthrough, described in a study published today in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, is particularly valuable because when we eat bivalves, we consume the entire organism including its gut, meaning that we digest the nutrients which the animals consumed towards the end of their lives. This makes bivalve shellfish the ideal target for nutritional fortification.
In their Cambridge laboratory, the scientists trialled Vitamin A and D fortified microcapsules on over 100 oysters to identify the optimal dose. They also established that this should be fed for 8 hours towards the end of "depuration", the period in which bivalves are held in cleansing tanks after being harvested.
The team found that fortified oysters delivered around 100 times more Vitamin A, and over 150 times more Vitamin D, than natural oysters. Even more importantly, they dramatically outperformed salmon, one of the best natural sources of these vitamins. The fortified oysters provided more than 26 times more Vitamin A and over four times more Vitamin D than salmon. The scientists found that a serving of just two of their supercharged shellfish provided enough Vitamin A and D to meet human Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDAs).
Vitamin A and D deficiencies pose a particularly serious public health challenge – in Ghana more than 76% of children are Vitamin A deficient, causing widespread mortality and blindness. In India, 85% of the population is Vitamin D deficient, which causes cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and rickets. Even in the US, over 40% of people are Vitamin D deficient.
David Willer said: "We have demonstrated a cheap and effective way to get micronutrients into a sustainable and delicious source of protein. Targeted use of this technology in regions worst affected by nutrient deficiencies, using carefully selected bivalve species and micronutrients, could help improve the health of millions, while also reducing the harm that meat production is doing to the environment".
David Aldridge said: "We are very excited about BioBullets' potential. We are now establishing links with some of the world's biggest seafood manufacturers to drive a step change in the sustainability and nutritional value of the seafood that we consume."
Bivalves have a higher protein content than beef, are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, and have some of the highest levels of key minerals of all animal foods. Nevertheless, the nutrients that they deliver naturally is unlikely to solve global deficiencies. These shellfish are also highly sustainable to farm, having a far lower environmental footprint than animal meat or fish, and lower even than many plant crops such as wheat, soya, and rice.
Bivalves are a highly affordable food source when produced at large scale and the global market is rapidly expanding. Production in China alone has grown 1000-fold since 1980 and there is great potential to sustainably expand bivalve aquaculture worldwide, with over 1,500,000 km2 available for sustainable low-cost industry development, particularly around the west coast of Africa and India.
The researchers point out that consumers in poorer regions where vitamin deficiencies are most prevalent are more likely to buy slightly more expensive fortified food than to make additional purchases to take supplement pills. They calculate that fortification adds just $0.0056 to the cost of producing a single oyster.

Classic Cleavage?
It's not that she doesn't have a point, it's just that that is not Lauren Bacall. This is Lauren Bacall.
(Are those...pointy?) Ms. Bacall made her impossibly beautiful debut in To Have and Have Not and hooked up with Mr. Bogart, to the ire of Howard Hawks, at the age of 17. (People will watch Cyborg 2 for the 17-year-old Angelina Jolie decades from now...or something.)
Thing is--and don't hate me for saying it--Bacall aged rapidly. I attribute that to the smoking, but if you watch her first few movies, she ages like she's trying to catch up with Bogey. Of course, at some level, that's sort of modern-puritanism talking: There could be lots of reasons for her to have aged rapidly. (And I'm not one to talk, I look about 112, and I don't smoke or drink, etc.)
In fact, in Edward Bianchi's 1981 disappointing film debut, The Fan, I thought she looked absolutely horrible. Setting aside that difference between 17 and 57, she's actually gotten better looking since then. Although now, of course, there's the difference between 57 and almost 87. (Bianchi, by the way, would come into his own 20 years later directing episodes of "Deadwood" and "The Wire".)
I've wondered, lately, if part of the reason exquisite beauty like Bacall's is so moving is because it's so fragile.
6 comments:
You don't understand. Christopher gave her a beat down when he stole her gift bag on the red carpet.ReplyDelete
Plus whats wrong with boobage. If Ms. Bacall wants to put it out there, more power to her. She was a sex symbol for a lot of years. Too skinny for my taste but still.ReplyDelete
And Rumor Willis is just a young kid. Lets be kind.
Hey did you hear about Stings kid. She is hooking up with that Pete Doherty the junkie singer and old Sting has his drawers in an uproar. Hee hee. Don't stand so close to me. Hee hee.
I did hear about Sting's kid--but I have no idea why.ReplyDelete
In one of the episodes of the Sopranos, Christopher Moltasanti mugs Laren Bacall and steals her gift bag. Its pretty funny.ReplyDelete
Oh...Sopranos humor.ReplyDelete
I'll break down and watch "The Wire" but I draw the line at "The Sopranos".
Grab an umbrella. Unleash hell. Your mileage may vary. Results not typical. If swelling continues past four hours, consult a physician.

Why cultural representation in children's movies is important
When I first watched the children's movie "Coco" with my daughter, I got emotional, not just because of the beautiful story it tells about family, but also because my little girl's Mexican culture was finally represented in mainstream cinema.
There is so much children can learn from being exposed to other cultures, especially at an early age. Recent kids' movies like "Coco" and "Moana" highlight diversity by showcasing the traditions and cultures of other countries.
The benefits of cultural representation in children's films are endless, but here are a few of the positive impacts it can have on our kids:
It exposes children to other cultures they are unfamiliar with.
At young ages, many kids are not yet aware of the multitude of cultures represented in countries around the world. And because of their age, it can be difficult to teach them about it with documentaries and scholarly articles without losing their interest.
I didn't learn much about Ancient Polynesia until taking world history in high school, but today kids can learn and be exposed to it much earlier by watching "Moana."
Kids' movies can showcase these cultures with the colors, songs and simple plot lines that illustrate them in a way children can understand more easily.
After watching the movie, it sets a framework, in which you can discuss with your children what country was represented and what its culture consists of, as well as its history and traditions. This opens them up to the world, so they can see it in a different light much earlier in life.
It connects kids of different ethnic backgrounds to their heritage.
When I was a kid, there wasn't much available in mainstream entertainment to connect me to my Chilean and Peruvian heritage, until the "Emperor's New Groove" was released in 2000, showcasing ancient Peru. By then, thankfully, my parents had already instilled in me a love of the cultures that made up my heritage through food, music, books and photos.
However, seeing it on screen definitely helped me feel a deeper connection and sense of pride in my heritage. And when "Coco" came out last year, I was excited for my daughter to experience that with her dad's Mexican heritage, as well.
Even though she is still too young to fully grasp what is going on in the movie, it is exposing her early on to a culture I hope she grows to love and cherish. Seeing her dance around to the mariachi songs in the movie makes my heart so happy.
It's my hope that more and more children's movies showcasing other countries are created so parents of other ethnicities can feel the same seeing their kids connect with the cultures that form part of their identity.
It gives all children stories they can relate to.
It is so important that kids have stories represented in books, TV shows and films that they can relate to, so they don't feel like an outsider or someone who doesn't belong in the society they are in.
Having characters in children's movies from countries their families are from, doing things their families do in their culture, will give children something to relate to and show them to love their culture. It will teach them to never be embarrassed by their heritage, but to always embrace it.

I got a bit of a reality check at the GIMD journalism conference I attended recently, in several ways. The conference was held in Bali and its scope included ethics, minorities and reporting in conflict zones. I spoke, briefly, about how the internet is profoundly changing the delivery of news, how people find and keep up to date with news, who gathers news and how.

If you're after a tablet and don't want to spend up big, the Surface RT has had it's price slashed – mainly because the brand new Surface 2 is available in Australia. If you're a little hesitant with purchasing one, it's still a great tablet for general web browsing, media consumption and general app use. We reviewed the Surface RT at the start of this year and despite it's downfalls, this price is too good to miss!
We've found some great deals from a few places if you want to pick-up the Surface RT. Currently, you'll be able to pick it up from JB HiFi for $223 AUD. Of course, this is just the tablet and you'll need to slap on a further $120 AUD for a touch or type cover. If you're more of a Harvey Norman fan, you'll be able to pick up the same tablet for $229 AUD – plus $120 AUD for a touch or type cover. I still believe the Surface RT is a useful tablet. I've got one and with the recent Windows 8.1 upgrade, the speed and stability of the tablet have increased.
Will you be purchasing a Surface RT or going towards the Surface 2? Let us know in the comments.

Volume 10 - Opinions of Counsel SBRPS No. 107
Residential improvements exemption (ownership) (transfer to owner's heir or distributee) - General Construction Law, § 35; Real Property Tax Law, § 421-f:
A parcel receiving a residential improvements exemption continues to be eligible to receive such exemption when title to the property is transferred from the owner to one or more of his or her heirs or distributees.
Our opinion has been requested concerning the residential improvements exemption (Real Property Tax Law, § 421-f), which provides an eight-year tapered exemption to capital improvements made to residential properties. An owner of property receiving the exemption wishes to transfer title thereto to one of his four children. The question is whether the exemption may be continued if the transfer occurs. Assuming the property is otherwise entitled to the exemption, in our opinion, it should be continued following the transfer.
At issue is subdivision six of section 421-f: "In the event that a building granted an exemption pursuant to this section ceases to be used primarily for residential purposes or title thereto is transferred to other than the heirs or distributees of the owner, the exemption granted pursuant to this section shall cease." Since there are four children, the specific question is if the proposed transfer to but one of them violates the quoted statutory provision.
The terms "heirs" and "distributees" are not defined in the RPTL, though they have been defined in other contexts. "A distributee is a person entitled to take or share in the property of a decedent under the statutes governing descent and distribution" (Estates, Powers and Trusts Law, § 1-2.5). "Whenever used in a statute or instrument, unless a contrary intention is expressed therein, the term 'heirs', 'heirs at law', 'next of kin' or any term of like import means the distributees, as defined in 1-2.5" (EPTL, § 2-1.1).
Technically, however, no one is heir of a living person {1} (Heath v. Hewitt, 127 N.Y. 166, 27 N.E. 959 (1891)). Put otherwise, "A living person can never have any 'heirs,' only heirs presumptive" (38 NY Jur2d, Decedents' Estates, §7, citing Re Bartlett's Will, n.o.r., 76 N.Y.S.2d 247 (Surr.Ct. Broome Co., 1948), aff'd, 274 App.Div. 136, 80 N.Y.S.2d 375 (3d Dept. 1948)).
Given the foregoing, what did the Legislature intend in drafting section 421-f(6)? There are several rules of statutory interpretation to be considered in attempting to answer this question.
First, section 421-f is a tax exemption statute, and tax exemption statutes are to be strictly construed against the grant of the exemption (Buffalo City Cemetery v. City of Buffalo, 46 N.Y. 506 (1871); McKinney's Statutes, § 294). However, such statutes may not be so strictly interpreted as to defeat legislative intent (People ex rel. Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc. v. Haring, 8 N.Y.2d 350, 170 N.E.2d 677,207 N.Y.S.2d 673 (1960)).
Next, words in statutes are to be given their usual and commonly understood meanings (McKinney's Statutes, § 232). While the legislative memorandum in support of the bill enacted as section 421-f fails to address the provision in question, certainly, the Legislature was aware that intra-familial transfers of title to real property are common. Had the Legislature wished to truncate the exemption following any transfer of title, it clearly could have done so, but it did not. It would seem most likely that the Legislature intended the exemption to continue where the transfer is between an owner and his or her (presumptive or actual) heirs or distributees, but to terminate it upon other transfers.
Lastly, the fact that the statute's drafters used the plural forms as opposed to the singular is not significant. "Words in the singular number include the plural, and in the plural number include the singular" (General Construction Law, § 35; Johnson v. Joy, 48 N.Y.2d 689, 397 N.E.2d 746, 422 N.Y.S.2d 56 (1979); see, McKinney's Statutes, § 252). "This rule of construction 'is applicable to every statute unless its general object, or the context of the language construed, or other provisions of law indicate that a different meaning or application was intended'" (People v. Buckley, 75 N.Y.2d 843, 846, 552 N.E.2d 160, 161, 552 N.Y.S.2d 912, 913 (1990), citing General Construction Law, § 110).
Given these rules of construction, in our opinion, the Legislature did not intend to limit continuation of the exemption upon transfer of title to only those (perhaps rare) situations in which the grantor conveys title to all of his heirs or distributees. The transfer to one (or some) of the members of such class of person would also seem to satisfy the standard of section 421-f(6).

Impakt faktor: 1.643, rok: 2015
To determine whether PHEMA [poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)] is suitable for portal vein embolization in patients scheduled to right hepatectomy and whether it is as effective as the currently used agent (a histoacryl/lipiodol mixture). Two groups of nine patients each scheduled for extended right hepatectomy for primary or secondary hepatic tumor, had right portal vein embolization in an effort to induce future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy. One group had embolization with PHEMA, the other one with the histoacryl/lipiodol mixture. In all patients, embolization was performed using the right retrograde transhepatic access. Embolization was technically successful in all 18 patients, with no complication related to the embolization agent. Eight patients of either group developed FLR hypertrophy allowing extended right hepatectomy. Likewise, one patient in each group had recanalization of a portal vein branch. Histology showed that both embolization agents reach the periphery of portal vein branches, with PHEMA penetrating somewhat deeper into the periphery. PHEMA has been shown to be an agent suitable for embolization in the portal venous system comparable with existing embolization agent (histoacryl/lipiodol mixture).

GOPIO urges the authorities for the speedy salvage and study on the ancient relics believed to have been found along a 2km stretch beneath the Malacca river. News of the finding was released by local newspapers a couple of days ago.
According to the news, two weeks ago, a group of professional divers had discovered parts of a Hindu temple, statues and a fort-like structure. They believed that these ancient finds could point to a submerged city that existed even before Parameswara founded Malacca in 1400. Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron had acknowledged that he had received a report about the sighting of the relics.
The Hindu empire of Majapahit was a vast kingdom during its peak between 1293 and 1527. Majapahit was one of the last major empires of the region and is considered as one of the most powerful empires in the history of Southeast Asia. Its influence extended beyond the modern territory of Indonesia and has been the subject of many studies. Malacca was once an important town for Majapahit's palace officials and soldiers who made the town their maritime headquarters.
There is news of an underwater city, a temple and structures resembling a fort. The statues and various structures are believed to be still intact. The underwater city is believed to stretch from the bridge close to Hard Rock Cafe in Malacca to Kampung Morten and is about 20m from the river surface.
It is known that ancient Malay Hindu/Buddhist civilizations have existed preceding the period of the Malaccan Sultanate. Similar findings of relics, temples and statues have also been unearthed around Kedah, Bukit Mertajam and Beruas since the 19th century. These are very important monuments and pieces of history that require in depth research.
More recently in 2009, an ancient jetty and a vast iron smelting area, promptly identified as the Kedah Tua civilisation was discovered in Sungai Batu, Kedah. Soon, it was found to be the oldest civilization in Southeast Asia, dating back 2,500 years and archaeological excavation works are still going on in the area surrounded by oil palm plantation.
The Heritage Department should also act promptly on this information on Malacca, as this important archaeological tip may just be the tip of another iceberg. Effort must be taken to save and excavate the ancient historical monuments and the findings must be made public.

As I started to embrace the life of travelling (Well, I've traveled a lot this year. Pwede ko na siguro sabihin 'yan. haha!), I have been very very mindful with where I'm spending my money on. The old me would just buy anything I like as long as it's cheap. Shirts? Bags? Shoes? If they're cheap, then expect me to buy one in a jiffy. It was only this year when I realized that buying cheap yet poorly-made product isn't helping me save money at all. So now even if I have to spend more, one excellent product is better than purchasing a lot of products with poor quality. You get what you pay for eh. Mas worth it ang isang bagay na binayaran mo man ng mahal e magagamit mo naman ng matagal kesa sa isang bagay na mura pero masisira naman agad.
Given all the available local and international brands in the market today, how do we know which is one of the best? By setting standards, diba?
Thankfully, Taiwan government has initiated and has started a campaign to help us, consumers, to be able to identify which of the brands is the best among the rest.
So ano naman kung ginawa 'yun ng Taiwan, e nasa Pilipinas ako?
Through the Bureau of Foreign Trade of Taiwan (BOFT) and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) , this campaign called, "Taiwan Excellence" has reached the soil of the Philippines.
What is special about TAIWAN EXCELLENCE?
All Taiwan-based brands are eligible to join and then their products will be evaluated by an international panel of judges. Each product should then score evenly on its R&D, quality, design, and marketing categories. Pag okay, the brands will then receive what they call SEAL OF EXCELLENCE. Among the selected products again, the judges will choose the Silver and Gold Seal Awardees. Diba, the Taiwan government has done us a favor kasi sila na 'yung sumala in order to give consumers the best products Taiwan has to offer.
In total, Taiwan Excellence will be bringing in 56 top quality brands here in our country and of those brands naman (for examples: Acer, Asus, BenQ, Draytek, HCG, KingCom, KW Trio, Kymco, MSI, Silicon Power, Sym, Transcend, and others) will be bringing in a total of 175 products under different industries such as in home and living, sports and leisure, and information and technology.
With this campaign, you don't have to spend a lot for an excellent lifestyle. All you need is to be informed which of the available brands/products are worth buying.

As the U.S. Supreme Court continues to consider whether or not it is constitutional for the federal government to require Americans to buy health insurance, what is also being debated is whether or not it can push the individual states to broaden their Medicaid insurance coverage. It is predicted that the top court in the country will have made its decision by the end of June, right in the middle of the presidential election race.

The Californian perspective of the Affordable Care Act
Though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be a federal healthcare system overhaul, each state is experiencing it in its own way, and though Californians have already started seeing some differences since the act went into effect in March 2010, there will be a great deal more by the time it has been fully implemented in January 2014. So far, Californian health care has seen a few important changes. These include: • Ensuring that no new health insurance policies can include lifetime caps on benefits, so that individuals who are…Read More

Pretrial Services
Pretrial Supervision
Pretrial Services operates for the provision of defendant supervision established under the authority of the Pretrial Services Act (PSA) specified in Section 19.2-152.2 through 19.2-152.7 of the State Code of Virginia. It is a goal of Norfolk Pretrial Services to reduce jail overcrowding while maintaining public safety.
The Pretrial Services division provides critical information, obtained through an investigative process, to judicial officials. The information is presented in the form of investigative reports.
These reports allow jurists more informed bail decisions by determining flight risk, and the potentiality of reoffending. The pretrial investigative process includes a screening, interview, collection and verification of background information, a criminal records check, a nationally validated risk assessment and a recommendation.
Participation Eligibility
By statute, any person age 18 or over or persons under the age of 18 who have been transferred for trial as adults held in the Norfolk City Jail and charged with an offense, other than an offense punishable by death, who are pending trial or hearing are eligible for placement by judicial officials, only. Pretrial Services do not hold the authority to make bail release decisions.
Placements are made at different stages of the pretrial process to include the initial hearing with the Magistrate, preliminary or scheduled bail hearings. Defense attorneys must schedule bail hearings, or inmates may petition the court through the jail communications process. Pretrial staff are not involved in this process. However, judicial officials, court clerks and respective attorneys may request the presence of a pretrial report on the date of hearing.
Enhancing Public Safety
Pretrial Services enhances public safety through the provision of differential risk based community supervision as a condition of bail. Defendants approved for release by judicial officers are supervised by Pretrial Officers.
Conditions of supervision may include, but not limited to, alcohol/drug testing, substance abuse, and mental health treatment referrals. Additionally, community supervision facilitates a defendant's appearance on their respective court date(s). Thus, having a direct impact on the reduction of failure to appear rates.

I used the same recipe for fresh grape sorbet that I had made before. After simmering the grapes on the stove with a little bit of water, I pressed them into a strainer to extract all of the juice. Then I added honey and a little bit of sugar. And then I just froze the mixture in my popsicle trays instead of churning it in the ice cream maker.
They turned out great! The popsicles had a very, very intense grape flavor. Everyone loved them. I'm going to try making all my popsicles with fresh fruit from now on!

Moore hits back at UFC copycat calls
MMA will bring "innovation, authenticity".
EA Sports boss Peter Moore has brushed off UFC copycat allegations by explaining that Mixed Martial Arts has been in development for at least two years already.
"I know there has been some recent discussion about EA SPORTS bringing a challenger to this sport," says Moore on his blog, referencing yesterday's outburst by Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. "I love mixed martial arts, and we've been working on a game concept since I came to [EA Sports] two years ago.
"I have great respect for the organisations and individuals that have invested in the sport's growth over the past decade - so this is one that is near and dear to me and I'm excited to see such good progress to date.
"I trace my MMA videogame roots back to my support of Crave's UFC title on the Dreamcast in 2000," he adds, "and have been a fan ever since. Our title will bring both innovation and further authenticity to mixed martial arts, not to mention a strong global publishing network that will help spread the sport's popularity around the world."
Dana White had claimed EA snubbed the idea of a UFC game when approached a year and a half ago, but upon seeing the success of UFC 2009 Undisputed has swiftly changed tack.
"EA Sports told us, 'You're not a real sport. We wouldn't touch this thing. We want nothing to do with this,'" said White. "Boy, they got over that real quick, didn't they?"
EA unveiled Mixed Martial Arts at E3 back in June. The plan is to alternate the series with Fight Night to produce a fighting game each year, starting with the inaugural MMA next year.
Yet despite Moore's claims of a long development, nothing has been shown of MMA so far.
We do know, however, that no UFC fighters will appear in the game, as Dana White has banned them from doing so.

Thanks for attending Birdies for BestPrep on February 8th at the Radisson Blu Mall of America! The event raised more than $70,000 for our organization and Minnesota Business Venture (MBV), the most we've earned since 2014! Guests enjoyed an assortment of food, signature cocktails, and activities, including mini-golf, silent auction, and a performance by the St. Thomas Summit Singers!
The most momentous part of the evening was introducing the MBV summer camp program and hearing from student alum and St. Croix Preparatory Academy junior, Arian Tomar, about his experience at camp and the positive impact it made on his life. Funds raised during the Fund Appeal portion of the event will go directly towards MBV to engage more students like Arian.
3M was honored with the 2020 Humanitarian of the Year Award for its continuous commitment to BestPrep in providing mentorship to Minnesota youth.
We are grateful to everyone who attended to make Birdies for BestPrep a fantastic success! Thanks for helping us ensure more students gain leadership, financial literacy, and business skills that prepare them for their futures.

Martin Luther refused to recant his writings at the Diet of Worms on 18 April 1521. Although he had been excommunicated, the imperial potentates had successfully insisted that he be questioned. Luther's refusal prompted Charles V to issue his Imperial Edict one day later.
Information panels at five locations spread around the city centre commemorate the events of the Imperial Diet of 1521 and its repercussions. Visitors can scan the QR codes to access detailed information and images. The City Library and the City Museum are located along the tour.
The Bishop's palace, the historical site of Luther's refusal to recant, was destroyed in 1689. From May to October, artistically designed and interactive stops between Heylshof Garden and the City Library retell the events of the 1521 Imperial Diet.
The Tourist Information Office in the City of Worms arranges public tours on every 2nd Sunday from April to October, as well as bookable group tours and topical costume tours, on the subject of Luther in Worms.
The Worms City Library holds over 650 printed works from the Reformation era. Luther's Letter to the Councillors of 1524 is recognised as a UNESCO Memory of the World document. Early examples of printed works from the Reformation were produced in Peter Schöffer's print shop.
On the suggestion of Worms, the 'Association of Luther Cities' has awarded 'The Intrepid Word' prize every two years since 1996. The city and the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau have organised the 'Worms Religious Colloquy' every three years since 2013.
The City of Worms and the Protestant Deanery of Worms-Wonnegau have published an annual calendar with city events addressing historical and contemporary topics relating to the Reformation since 2011.
Extending approximately 400 kilometres, the Luther Trail 1521 traces the steps that Martin Luther took on his way to the Diet of Worms. The trail starts in Worms at St Magnus' Church and winds its way through the town centre to Oppenheim.

A while ago, a consultation brought me to an interesting organization. The management was energetic and welcoming, invested in leadership and the cultivation of organizational culture. As I met with senior managers, I could easily check the boxes of the various characteristics that research tells us makes for successful leadership, from open communications with employees to effective delegation of work and a positive attitude. There was only one problem: the members of the organization were not especially motivated or productive. True, they didn't hate their jobs and for the most part liked where they worked. It seemed, however, that they had fallen out of love with what they were doing. Nothing was terribly wrong; but neither was there a particular spark
Here was a conundrum: management seemingly was doing all the right things and yet what had once been a vibrant startup was now having trouble getting off the starting line. Projects were delayed; several key employees had left. Profits were flat. What was going on?
The Meaning Of Mission
I was puzzled myself--until I happened to ask a particularly bright and perceptive recent hire about the mission of the organization. To my surprise, he responded vaguely. He wasn't even sure there was a mission statement, and he certainly could not come close to reciting it.
I pressed my inquiry: To what degree, day to day and week to week, did he feel connected to a sense of mission in his work?
The manager smiled and frankly admitted that, most of the time, he was so busy coordinating the work of his staff and meeting project deadlines that there was little time for consideration of missions.
I refined my questions and posed them across a spectrum of the organization. The responses were similar: beyond a vague mandate to meet customer needs, make money, and do good work, there was little sense of mission. Everyone felt very busy, and no one felt especially engaged.
I knew that mission--our overarching sense of purpose in life and work--is important in sustaining resilience and persistence toward goals. I also knew that positive psychology research emphasizes the importance of life satisfaction--not just happiness--in sustaining well-being, productivity, creativity, and physical health.
What if, however, the managers of an organization were to target the happiness of employees without prioritizing their broader life satisfaction? What if, amidst the comfortable lounge space, free lunches, after work events, frequent team meetings, and upbeat memos from the CEO, nothing consistently connected the employees to what was meaningful in their work? The members of the organization worked hard and played hard; they enjoyed each other. But did they feel connected to a mission? Did they feel that what they were doing was important?
That sense of importance is the real meaning of mission. The organization I visited did a great job of defining and tracking goals. Few of those goals, however, connected to a broader sense of purpose. Yes, reaching goals could bring a greater bonus, and, yes, reaching goals could lead to promotions and salary bumps. Chasing goals day after day, week after week, however, did not bring engagement to the organization. It brought the sense of living on an endless treadmill.
Three Models Of Leadership
What does it mean to be a great leader? One model of leadership defines effectiveness in terms of the instrumental qualities of the person in charge: the degree to which they can inspire loyalty, effort, and high levels of functioning. Think of the military officer who has to lead troops in battle. Leadership, for that officer, is a function of interpersonal influence, clear communication, firm discipline, and strong support. The same could be said for a college football coach or the director of a movie.
A second model of leadership is not so much leading by directing as leading by serving. Servant leadership is the notion that we best guide others by attending to their needs and interests. Think of a community of peers within an organization, such as a research-based university or a world class medical center. To the degree that employees are expert, knowledgeable professionals capable of sustaining independent effort, management becomes a task of facilitation as well as direction. The servant leader seeks less of a command structure and more of a support structure: the goal is to maintain the conditions under which people can flourish.
Yet a third model of leadership is embedded in what we might call mission-based management. When grounded in a mission, all members of an organization--from top to bottom--are both leaders and followers. They lead in that their work is explicitly connected to the broader aims of the organization: they are responsible for an acknowledged share of achieving those aims. They follow in that all members of the organization serve a broader purpose--a valued set of ideals, a mutual sense of purpose. Indeed, we might say that mission-based management is an integration of the other two models: it is directive guidance in the service of transcendent aims.
What was puzzling about the organization I visited is that the management seemed to be doing a good job of leading by the criteria of models one and two. They offered clear direction and guidance, stayed connected to employees, and were attentive to employee needs--from generous benefits to a thoughtful layout of work areas. Where leadership was failing, however, was in fulfilling the third model. No one deeply felt they were doing work that was meaningful, and no one could clearly articulate the vision of the organization in a personally relevant manner.
In mission-based management, leaders are defined by what they follow, not who they follow or who they command. Mission-based leaders elicit perspiration through inspiration; because they first connect to the beliefs of others, they craft goals and challenges that are meaningful. That is what creates the life satisfaction above and beyond happiness and positive mood. Think of the research team fighting cancer or the startup firm developing a new technology: leadership is suffused with the sense that "we are doing something important."
The challenge of mission-based management is to find that "something important", even when immediate work efforts are not highly newsworthy. I recall a basketball coach who used to pull his starting team from the court when they were not playing with sufficient intensity against an easy opponent. Every locker room talk--and signs in the locker room--reminded the players that each practice, each game was a rehearsal for a league championship. The mission wasn't just winning the particular game at hand, but playing as champions.
That was mission-based management, and it led to a league championship and more. More importantly, however, it led the members of that team to feel and perform like champions. Think of Coach K teaching, teaching, teaching to elicit the peak performance that will lead to victory. Think of legendary wrestling coach Dan Gable pushing that last ounce of performance through his own dedication to training and conditioning. First and foremost, mission-based management is leadership-by-example.
Insights Into Mission-Based Management
Experienced management consultants understand the importance of the mission-mindset in effective leadership. They have seen first hand that directing and serving others is necessary for success, but not sufficient. Without an overarching sense of purpose, the workplace becomes little more than a site for doing work.
Lolly Daskal makes the valuable point that leadership begins with character and that effective leadership begins from within. Jesse Lyn Stoner points out that organizational cultures cannot change by decree. Rather, change occurs when senior leadership is modeling the values and behaviors they wish to see throughout the organization. Cameron Morrissey notes that underappreciated people underperform within organizations and that work tied to organizational goals offers the best opportunities for appreciation.
What is the bottom line of these perspectives? At the end of the day, all management is self-management and all leadership is self-leadership. We cannot bring out in others more than we can elicit in ourselves. Leadership is not just a set of qualities that we have; it's a process for cultivating the best in others by consistently tapping into missions that capture our own deepest values and strengths.

Making Oil the Foundations of a Political Settlement in Kirkuk
When Iraqi federal forces rolled into Kirkuk and surrounding territory last week, regaining control of the territory in a relatively bloodless operation, it marked another chapter in the city's contested history. Kurds have for decades claimed the territory as an indisputable part of Kurdistan, bestowing on the city an almost sacred symbolism before gaining full control of it in the summer of 2014, after Iraqi army forces withdrew in the face of ISIS's offensive in western Iraq. But the Haider al-Abadi government never gave up its own sovereign claim, and like successive central governments before it, dismissed Kurdish assertions. Emotions in Baghdad have run particularly high since the Kurd's held a controversial independence referendum on September 25 against the federal government's wishes, and Kirkuk quickly became a focal point for anger and indignation in the Iraqi capital. Seizing an opportunity presented by intra-Kurdish political wrangling, Iraqi prime minister Abadi ordered his troops in.
Absent some imaginative thinking about how to jointly administer the territory, the latest crisis is unlikely to be the last, primarily because the dispute is more than just an emotional or nationalistic attachment to land. Underlying the rival claims to control between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Erbil—and between the main Kurdish parties themselves—is a desire to exploit the massive oil resources that lie beneath its surface. The KRG knows that its dreams of independence rest on the fiscal reality of securing revenue from production in the Kirkuk area; without it, Erbil does not have the money to run a government independently. For Baghdad, the 300 thousand barrels per day (mb/d) plus of oil output is an important fillip for its own budget, and while Abadi has repeatedly offered Erbil a revenue-sharing deal, he has insisted on controlling its sales, thereby giving the federal government important fiscal leverage over the KRG.
This zero-sum logic explains why various initiatives over the last five decades to resolve the Kirkuk question have failed. Governments in Iraq have refused to hand over control of the territory and its resources to the Kurds as part of any deal, and the Kurdish leaders have rejected any pact that does not recognize their territorial claim. Meanwhile, each side has sought to enhance its control over the territory when it enjoyed relative strength over the other and has refused any accommodation when it has been the weaker party.
The current crisis will result in similarly destructive dynamics if an alternative approach is not adopted. Central to any workable initiative will be transforming the area's oil resources from a driver for conflict into an enabler for a wider negotiated political settlement between the federal and regional governments.
This in turn will require a durable revenue-sharing mechanism that serves the interests of Baghdad and Erbil; acts as a confidence-building measure; and, provides the foundations for building broader governance and administrative structures.
Several elements would be required for a successful initiative:
- The first step would be an immediate agreement between the federal and regional governments to establish special status for Kirkuk province's oil and gas resources. Baghdad and Erbil would designate the acreage of the Kirkuk field, its satellites, and Bai Hassan as a "neutral zone" within which the two sides would jointly manage the assets without prejudicing any eventual legal decision on the long-term status of the disputed territory.
- The federal and regional governments would then each select one or a group of international oil companies to form a consortium to develop and maximize the output of the oil and gas acreage, in cooperation with local state and private-sector firms. Both the federal Ministry of Oil and the regional Ministry of Natural Resources have already independently reached preliminary agreements with foreign companies to develop this acreage, and these deals could provide the cornerstone for a new joint-development organization.
- Sales of crude oil produced could be managed by an international third-party company, overseen by a committee that includes representatives of the federal and regional governments, with equal executive representation and voting rights. One option would be also to include a representative from each of Turkey, Russia, and the United States.
- Revenue from these crude exports would be shared 50:50, with the proceeds deposited into a special account held in the United States, similar to the Development Fund for Iraq account that was established in New York in 2003. Erbil would be guaranteed direct access to its 50 percent of receipts.
- Crude flows would initially go through the current KRG pipeline to Turkey, although the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline could also be used later as and when it is rehabilitated. In both cases, metering would be established at the Iraqi-Turkish border.
- A joint Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)-Peshmerga-international force would be established to provide security for the pipelines and the producing assets.
An initiative of this type would offer a number of potential advantages:
- It would alter the dynamics and narrative over Kirkuk, with an emphasis on cooperation.
- It delays the need for any immediate resolution of the territorial dispute over the status of Kirkuk, providing time for a workable mechanism to be put in place.
- It would establish the precedent of joint crude marketing and transparent revenue sharing.
- It could be a first step to broader dialogue over joint revenue and governance structures between Baghdad and Erbil.
Similar oil-export and revenue-sharing initiatives have been tried between Baghdad and Erbil before, only to fail. However, the current circumstances may offer the most propitious opportunity for a long-term deal over Kirkuk (and, arguably, over wider KRG-Baghdad relations) since 2003:
- The KRG's determined push for independence, and its fundamental assumptions about the feasibility of secession, have been dealt a major blow by the domestic, regional, and international reactions to the September 25 referendum. For the first time since 2003, Kurdish leaders—including hardline secessionists in the ruling Kurdish Democratic Party—are being forced to consider alternative lasting political arrangements with Baghdad that do not inevitably lead to independence.
- The extension of federal-government control over the oil fields of Kirkuk and Bai Hassan has robbed the KRG of control over the source of almost 55 percent of its oil-export revenue. This comes at a time when the KRG is already facing a crippling fiscal crisis and has built up sizeable short-term debts to foreign creditors.
- The federal government, led by Abadi, has achieved its immediate goal of regaining control over territory it lost to the KRG after June 2014, and it has repeatedly expressed its willingness to reach a political settlement with the KRG that preserves Iraq's territorial integrity.
- The generally peaceful withdrawal of Kurdish forces from Kirkuk suggests that there is scope for political deals between Baghdad and at least some Kurdish groups.
- Baghdad appears reluctant to take measures that will further antagonize Erbil or the international community, and since the September 25 plebiscite, Abadi has suggested his willingness to consider a revenue-sharing deal on Kirkuk as part of an eventual settlement.
An initiative of this type need not be introduced in isolation of other efforts to promote dialogue and an eventual deal on long-term governance between Baghdad and Erbil. Indeed, agreeing on the basis for a new political compact in Iraq that satisfies the basic demands of the country's main factions remains fundamental to long-term stability. Past experience has shown that, unless both sides agree that they want to coexist rather than part ways, no initiative, no matter how mutually beneficial, stands any hope of moving forward.
Moreover, external mediation—led by the United States—will be critical to any hopes of success, as Iraqi leaders have proven incapable of (and often unwilling to) reach a lasting accord on their own. Nevertheless, a new arrangement over Kirkuk that offered benefits to both sides and takes the issue off the table early on might help to bring the two sides together and nudge them on the road to the type of all-encompassing compact that they need if the cycle of violence is to be broken.

The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future
"Everything we once knew about American energy seems to be changing," writes Michael A. Levi, CFR senior fellow and director of the program on energy security and climate change, in The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future. "The United States can strengthen its economy, improve national security, and confront climate change if it intelligently embraces the historic gains unfolding all across the energy landscape."

May 2, 2013—"Everything we once knew about American energy seems to be changing," writes Michael A. Levi, CFR senior fellow and director of the program on energy security and climate change, in The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future. "The United States can strengthen its economy, improve national security, and confront climate change if it intelligently embraces the historic gains unfolding all across the energy landscape."
In his new book, Levi offers an intricate portrayal of the rapidly evolving American energy landscape—one defined by surging oil and gas production, a thriving renewable energy industry, and falling oil consumption—and illuminates the consequences of these changes for the economy, national security, and the environment.
More on:
The book includes on-the-ground reporting and eye-opening analysis of the country's energy choices, cutting through heated claims made by all sides in America's energy fights. On natural gas, Levi writes: "People who claim that natural gas can propel the U.S. economy in the twenty-first century, if only pesky environmentalists and other concerned citizens lay off, are exaggerating the benefits of the shale gas bonanza. But one needn't exaggerate on this front to conclude that shale gas is a big deal. Indeed the potential consequences go well beyond economics."
Levi also traces the origins of the U.S. energy debate: "[The] fundamentals of the fight over the future of American energy aren't new. Many of the details are novel, but the roots of the basic conflicts stretch back to the first modern oil crisis, which rocked the world in the autumn of 1973. It is no exaggeration to claim that most of the battle lines that define today's clashes were first drawn decades ago."
Levi's book debunks the idea that the fight over America's energy future is a zero-sum game between old and new sources of energy. "The right strategy for the United States would embrace opportunities in old and new energy alike," he concludes.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR The Power Surge:
More on:
"In The Power Surge, Michael Levi captures the emerging turning point in America's energy situation. Combining thoughtful analysis and balanced independent judgment with vivid on-the-ground reporting, Levi delivers both a timely field guide to today's fervent energy debates and compelling insight into the evolving mix of options that is shaping tomorrow's energy world."
—Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World and of The Prize
"Energy will energize our economy and our political debates over the next few years as never before. Michael Levi's important book should be carefully considered by anyone who cares about our energy future – and that means anyone who cares about our economic future."
—Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus, Harvard University, and former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
"Michael Levi has given us a rare gift: a sensible, substantive book that is so well-written it's fun to read. The Power Surge argues persuasively that we must move beyond false choices between clean energy and traditional fuels, and instead aggressively pursue both in new ways. And along the way, it introduces colorful characters and rigorously examines why our energy future is crucial to our economic one. With this book, Levi cements his growing reputation as one of the nation's leading thinkers on energy."
—Peter Orszag, Vice-Chairman, Citigroup, and former Director of the Office of Management and Budget

"Engaging and illuminating… Recommended."
—Scientific American
"Calm, reasoned and balanced, presenting arguments and evidence, not wish lists and beliefs."
—Kirkus Reviews

While the financial services industry copes with the current pandemic, some firms are finding opportunities for growth.
Visa's Fast Track Program helps businesses to get up and running quickly on the Visa network, shortening the process from months to weeks. Since expanding globally in mid-2019, Visa's Fast Track program has grown to include 140 fintech firms worldwide.
The program provides access to Visa's ecosystem partners, online licensing, and Visa's APIs. It also provides participants with go-to-market toolkits, online education and expert advice to help fintech companies scale their businesses.
New members have recently joined from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America. These fintech firms are addressing how consumers and businesses manage money, invest, receive loans and send payments worldwide.
"Our goal is to bring cutting-edge fintechs into the Visa ecosystem, to help them grow and scale their business in record time," said Terry Angelos, senior vice president and global head of fintech, Visa. "Through programs like Fast Track, Visa is committed to helping fintechs, many of which are small businesses, advance their potential and get into market quickly so they are ready to provide innovations that move the world forward everyday – and especially in current times."
Many upstart fintech companies are finding opportunities to help customers during the COVID-19 crisis. Visa partners like Airwallex, Fundation and Rappi have reacted to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Australia-founded Airwallex has extended support to Australian and UK small businesses by offering to waive their international transactions fees. U.S.-based Fundation is helping small businesses access capital they need during these times. Rappi out of Columbia has begun piloting food delivery by robots, working to minimize the spread of the virus.
"Through our partnership with Visa, we will continue to innovate and develop strategies to aid in the relief and recovery of our customers' businesses," said Sam Graziano, chief executive officer of Fundation.
The newest members of the Fast Track Program span B2C and B2B and include digital currency wallets and companies founded by women, including North American-based Kikoff and gogo Getter, and Australia-founded Airwallex.
As part of the program, Visa's Fast Track members can collaborate with enablement partners, which lay the groundwork for startups to build their products. Announced today, three new program manager enablement partners – Cascade FinTech, Deserve, and PEX Card – are becoming part of Fast Track in the U.S., joining companies like Stripe and Marqeta. This brings the total number of enablement partners to more than 20 globally.
Visa estimates that there are 139 million user accounts today for digital currency wallets. Digital currency-focused Fast Track companies include Fold, TrustToken and Genesis Block. These firms can connect their consumers to Visa's 61 million merchants worldwide.
Visa is particularly focused on B2B payments and how that payments space is evolving in the digital age. UK-based digital lender Capital on Tap, which provides credit cards and loans to 60,000 SMBs, and U.S.-based Fundation, which provides an application processing platform for banks and small business lenders, are part of the program. So are Konfio, a Mexico-based startup that uses a data to enable fast credit assessment for SMBs, and Neat, a Hong Kong startup working with SMBs to grow their business globally.
"After recently joining Visa's Fast Track program, we were able to quickly put our co-branded debit card into market in the United States," said Will Reeves, chief executive officer, Fold.
"By working with Visa, we are delivering on our mission to provide an easy way for shoppers to earn rewards in bitcoin for their everyday spending, and help our business continue to scale with the backing of Visa's vast network and resources."

I was on my way to law school and had to take an introductory English course at The University of British Columbia in my freshman year, 1965. That happened to be David's first year of teaching at UBC.
David got me so excited about English literature that I took an English undergraduate degree, followed by graduate school. I eventually got back to my first love, the law, but the fervour for reading that he ignited has never diminished, even 45 years later.
