Los Angeles, CA
February 25, 1942
Jeff Rense:
Have you ever heard of the Battle of Los Angeles? Few have. Imagine a visiting spacecraft from another world, or dimension, hovering over a panicked and blacked-out LA in the middle of the night just weeks after Pearl Harbor at the height of WWII fear and paranoia. Imagine how this huge ship, assumed to be some unknown Japanese aircraft, was then attacked as it hung, nearly stationary, over Culver City and Santa Monica by dozens of Army anti-aircraft batteries firing nearly 2,000 rounds of 12 pound, high explosive shells in full view of hundreds of thousands of residents. Imagine all of that and you have an idea of what was the Battle of Los Angeles.
The sudden appearance of the enormous round object triggered all of LA and most of Southern California into an immediate wartime blackout with thousands of Air Raid Wardens scurrying all over the darkened city while the drama unfolded in the skies above... a drama which would result in the deaths of six people and the raining of shell fragments on homes, streets, and buildings for miles around.
Dozens of gun crews and searchlights of the Army's 37th Coast Artillery Brigade easily targeted the huge ship which hung like a surreal magic lantern in the clear, dark winter sky over the City of the Angels. Few in the city were left asleep after the Coastal Defense gunners commenced firing hundreds and hundreds of rounds up toward the glowing ship which was apparently first sighted as it hovered above such west side landmarks as the MGM studios in Culver City. The thump of the batteries and the ignition of the aerial shells reverberated from one end of LA to the other as the gun crews easily landed scores of what many termed "direct hits"....all to no avail. Here now, is what the night skies of LA looked like at the height of the firing....
Pay close attention to the convergence of the searchlights and you will clearly see the shape of the visitor within the illuminated target area. It's a BIG item and seemed completely oblivious to the hundreds of AA shells bursting on and adjacent to it which caused it no evident dismay. There were casualties, however...on the ground. At least 6 people died as a direct result of the Army's attack on the UFO which slowly and leisurely made its way down to and then over Long Beach before finally moving off and disappearing.
In February, 1942, Katie was a young, beautiful, and highly-successful interior decorator and artist who worked with many of Hollywood's most glamorous celebrities and film industry luminaries. She lived on the west side of Los Angeles, not far from Santa Monica. With the outbreak of the war with Japan and the rising fear of a Japanese air attack, or even invasion of the West Coast, thousands of residents volunteered for wartime duties on the home front. Katie volunteered to become an Air Raid Warden as did 12,000 other residents in the sprawling city of Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
In the early morning hours of February 25th, Katie's phone rang. It was the Air Raid supervisor in her district notifying her of an alert and asking if she had seen the object in the sky very close to her home. She immediately walked to a window and looked up. "It was huge! It was just enormous! And it was practically right over my house. I had never seen anything like it in my life!" she said. "It was just hovering there in the sky and hardly moving at all." With the city blacked out, Katie, and hundreds of thousands of others, were able to see the eerie visitor with spectacular clarity. "It was a lovely pale orange and about the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. I could see it perfectly because it was very close. It was big!"
The U.S. Army anti-aircraft searchlights by this time had the object completely covered. "They sent fighter planes up (the Army denied any of its fighters were in action) and I watched them in groups approach it and then turn away. There were shooting at it but it didn't seem to matter." Katie is insistent about the use of planes in the attack on the object. The planes were apparently called off after several minutes and then the ground cannon opened up. "It was like the Fourth of July but much louder. They were firing like crazy but they couldn't touch it." The attack on the object lasted over half an hour before the visitor eventually disappeared from sight. Many eyewitnesses talked of numerous "direct hits" on the big craft but no damage was seen done to it. "I'll never forget what a magnificent sight it was. Just marvelous. And what a gorgeous color!", said Katie.
"The object...caught in the center of the lights like the hub of a bicycle wheel surrounded by gleaming spokes. The fire seemed to burst in rings all around the object."
The ONLY description in the LA Times of the UFO, and a sense of the energy and emotion of that night, was found in this small sidebar article written by Times staff writer the day after the event:
The following are excerpts from the primary front page story of the LA Times on February 26th. Note that there is not a SINGLE description of the object even though is was clearly locked in the focus of dozens of searchlights for well over half an hour and seen by hundreds of thousands of people:
In its front page editorial, the Times said: "In view of the considerable public excitement and confusion caused by yesterday morning's supposed enemy air raid over this area and its spectacular official accompaniments, it seems to The Times that more specific public information should be forthcoming from government sources on the subject, if only to clarify their own conflicting statements about it."
The following is an excerpt of an article appearing in Fate Magazine. Our special thanks to Bill Oliver of UFO*BC for transcribing and bringing it to our attention.
Caught by the searchlights and captured in photographs, was an object big enough to dwarf an apartment house. Experienced lighter-than-air (dirigible) specialists doubted it could be a Japanese blimp because the Japanese had no known source of helium, and hydrogen was much too dangerous to use under combat conditions.
Whatever it was, it was a sitting duck for the guns of the 37th. Photographs showed shells bursting all around it. A Los Angeles Herald Express staffer said he was sure many shells hit it directly. He was amazed it had not been shot down.
The object that triggered the air raid alarm had drawn 1430 rounds of ammunition from the coast artillery, to no effect. When it moved at all, the object had proceeded at a leisurely pace over the coastal cities between Santa Monica and Long Beach, taking about 30 minutes of actual flight time to move 20 miles; then it disappeared from view.
You can well imagine with what chagrin public information officers answered press queries. The Pasadena Office of the Southern California Sector of the Army Western Defense Command simply announced that no enemy aircraft had been identified; no craft was shot down; no bombs were dropped; none of our interceptors left the ground to pursue the intruder.
Soon thereafter US Navy Secretary Frank Knox announced that no planes had been sighted. The coastal firing had been triggered, he said, by a false alarm and jittery nerves. He also suggested that some war industries along the coast might have to be moved inland to points invulnerable to attacks from enemy submarines and carrier-based planes.
The press responded with scathing editorials, many on page one, calling attention to the loss of life and denouncing the use of the coast artillery to fire at phantoms. The Los Angeles Times demanded a full explanation from Washington. The Long Beach Telegram complained that government officials who all along had wanted to move the industries were manipulating the affair for propaganda purposes. And the Long Beach Independent charged: "There is a mysterious reticence about the whole affair and it appears some form of censorship is trying to halt discussion of the matter. Although it was red-hot news not one national radio commentator gave it more than passing mention. This is the kind of reticence that is making the American people gravely suspect the motives and the competence of those whom they have charged with the conduct of the war."
The Independent had good reason to question the competence of some of the personnel responsible for our coastal defense operations as well as the integrity and motives of our highest government officials. Only 36 hours before the Long Beach air raid, a gigantic Japanese submarine had surfaced close to shore 12 miles north of Santa Barbara and in 25 minutes of unchallenged firing lobbed 25 five-inch shells at the petroleum refinery in the Ellwood oil field. The Fourth Interceptor Command, although aware of the sub's attack, ordered a blackout from Ventura to Goleta but sent no planes out to sink it. Not one shot was fired at the sub.
After the Ellwood incident had alerted all the West Coast defense posts to possible repeat attacks, these units were sensitive to anticipated invasion attempts. By Wednesday morning in the Los Angeles area they were ready to open fire on a boy's kite if it in any way resembled a plane or a balloon. Secretary of War Henry Stimson praised the 37th Cost Artillery for this attitude. It is better to be a little too alert than not alert enough, he said. At the same time he delicately suggested that it might have been a good idea to send some of our planes up to identify the invading aircraft before shooting at them.
Planes of the Fourth Interceptor Command were, in fact, warming up on the runways waiting for orders to go up and interview the unknown intruders. Why, everybody was asking, were they not ordered to go into action during the 51-minute period between the first air-raid alert at 2:25 AM and the first artillery firing at 3:16?
Against this background of embarrassing indecision and confusion, Army Western Defense Command obviously had to say something fast. Spokesmen told reporters that from one to 50 planes had been sighted, thus giving themselves ample latitude in which to adjust future stories to fit whatever propaganda requirements might arise in the next few days.
When eyewitness reports from thousands searching the skies with binoculars under the bright lights of the coast artillery verified the presence of one enormous, unidentifiable, indestructible object - but not the presence of large numbers of planes - the press releases were gradually scaled downward. A week later Gen. Mark Clark acknowledged that army listening posts had detected what they thought were five light planes approaching the coast on the night of the air raid. No interceptors, he said, had been sent out to engage them because there had been no mass attack.
Believing an aerial bombardment was in progress, some people thought they saw formations of warplanes, dogfights between enemy craft and our fighter planes and other things that they assumed were evidence of such an attack. Obviously there were no dogfights because none of our interceptors were in the air. Tracer bullets were fired from military ground stations and some people mistook the fire pattern made by these projectiles for aerial combat. Other observers reported lighted objects which were variously described as red-and-white flares in groups of three red and three white, fired alternately, or chainlike strings of red lights looking something like an illuminated kite.
People suggested that some of these lights were caused by Japanese-Americans signaling approaching Japanese aircraft with flares to guide them to selected targets, but because no bombs were dropped, the theory was quickly abandoned. In any case, such charges fitted in perfectly with a hysterical press campaign to round up all citizens of Japanese descent and put them in concentration camps.
During the week of the Japanese submarine attack on the Ellwood oil field and the air raid on Los Angeles County, the press took full advantage of the made-to-order situation. Arrests of suspects were quickly made and the FBI was called in, but the Long Beach Press Telegram stated all investigations indicated nobody was signaling the enemy from the ground.
Oil Field Submarine Attack
Author Ralph Blum, who was a nine-year-old boy at the time, wrote that he thought "the Japanese were bombing Beverly Hills."
"There were sirens, searchlights, even antiaircraft guns blamming away into the skies over Los Angeles. My father had been a balloon observation man (in the AEF) in World War One, and he knew big guns when he heard them. He ordered my mother to take my baby sisters to the underground projection room--our house was heavily supplied with Hollywood paraphernalia--while he and I went out onto the upstairs balcony."
"What a scene! It was after three in the morning. Searchlights probed the western sky. Tracers streamed upward. The racket was terrific." Shooting at the aerial intruders were gunners of the 65th Coast Artillery (Anti-Aircraft) Regiment in Inglewood and the 205th Anti-Aircraft Regiment based in Santa Monica. The "white cigar-shaped object" took several direct hits but continued on its eastward flight.
Up to 25 silvery UFOs were also seen by observers on the ground.
Editor Peter Jenkins of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner reported, "I could clearly see the V formation of about 25 silvery planes overhead moving slowly across the sky toward Long Beach." Long Beach Police Chief J.H. McClelland said, "I watched what was described as the second wave of planes from atop the seven-story Long Beach City Hall. I did not see any planes but the younger men with me said they could. An experienced Navy observer with powerful Carl Zeiss binoculars said he counted nine planes in the cone of the searchlight. He said they were silver in color. The (UFO) group passed along from one battery of searchlights to another, and under fire from the anti-aircraft guns, flew from the direction of Redondo Beach and Inglewood on the land side of Fort MacArthur, and continued toward Santa Ana and Huntington Beach. Anti-aircraft fire was so heavy we could not hear the motors of the planes."
Reporter Bill Henry of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "I was far enough away to see an object without being able to identify it...I would be willing to bet what shekels I have that there were a number of direct hits scored on the object."
At 2:21 a.m., Lt. Gen. John L. DeWitt issued the cease-fire order, and the twenty-minute "battle of Los Angeles" was over.

With a bustling classroom of 28–30 three to six year olds, daily life was full of challenges and joy! When her family started to grow, she left the public school system and invited children into her home for Montessori in the Home childcare. Two years ago she had the opportunity to bring Tinkergarten, an outdoor play program, into Wisconsin. Throughout all of the wonderful and varied weather that Wisconsin experiences year-round, she led outdoor play classes for children 18 months–5 years old and their caregivers. Both of mher sons attended these classes with her. She excited for this next part of our journey. Her and her family love getting outside—playing, exploring, gardening, going to farmer's markets, eating good food, and biking. They are beyond thrilled to be coming home to the West Coast and the mountains, water, and plant life. She is looking forward to getting to know the families that make up Wild Oak, to serve this community, and to share in the beautiful journey of discovery and learning.
Jessica Sandholm
Assistant Grades Teacher
Jessica has been a Bay Area resident most of her life. As a child she was an avid diver and swimmer, and although she was really good at both sports, she always felt like something was missing. Nature was missing! At age 13 she moved to the country and got a horse-- that is when she really came to life. On her horse, she was able to experience the wonders of the world outside the city, navigating the hills and valleys without a compass or phone. Working with rescue dogs, she has been able to see what a great teacher she is with big and small animals. Studying animals, nature and human impact led her to join the Future Farmers of America (FFA) where she learned leadership and teaching skills. From assistant vet work and lifeguarding, to dance and water polo, Jessica was eager to find her true calling. When she found the folks at Wild Oak, she knew she was home. She can combine all her experiences to help show children the wonder and beauty of learning in nature.
Kris Abraham
Assistant Grades Teacher
Kris Abraham was born and raised in the Oakland, San Pablo Bay Area. Always a curious adventurer who enjoyed physical challenges, her passion for being outdoors was nurtured spending much free time exploring Wild Cat Canyon, Tilden, and Briones Regional Parks. Kris has always been interested in people, appreciating learning about individual differences, and many cultures.
Kris has always had the gift of being a Jill-of-all-trades, which led to her meeting her husband of 28 years. They value family strongly and were passionate about raising their 4 grown children (2 sons and 2 daughters). Those years would include co-oping at The Secret Garden and then Creative Play Center. Little did she know then that this seemingly random financially-based decision would be forever life changing for Kris personally.
Kris discovered a love for child development and psychology, obtaining both her Parent Education Credential and Preschool Teaching Permit, all while pregnant with her third child. She served on the Board and co-oped while homeschooling her eldest (who had been struggling in school due to what Kris and her husband learned was a shared learning difference).
Soon after, Kris was hired to teach at both Creative Play Center (CPC) and The Secret Garden, eventually becoming Director for CPC. In the following years, Kris' studies included learning differences, brain development, positive discipline, nutrition -whole foods, and women's studies. Additionally, she taught 2 years at Crossroads, a high school for teen mothers.
After twenty years teaching, Kris is very ready to be a curious adventurer and follow her love for the outdoors and education at Wild Oak!

So I know this post is coming a day late, but hey better late than never. Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that people can be very opinionated on some love it, some hate it, and some believe that it is a holiday developed by greeting card companies to make more money. If you push all of those things aside for a few minutes you can focus on the more important part of all this...wait for it...the food!
Yes that's right the food. I sometimes like to think of it as a "free day", to eat what you want and not feel guilty. Of course there's the fact that often large amounts of chocolate are involved on Valentine's Day, which is an added bonus that makes me want to jump for joy. This brings me to the focus of this post sweet treats to give as a gift or enjoy for yourself.
Since time wasn't exactly on my side this year I kept things pretty simple using some time tested recipes and adding a twist. I made 3 batches of cookies chocolate chip, dark chocolate M&M, and sugar. I used the chocolate chip cookie recipe I posted last year, minus the "healthy twist" because really as much as I like to promote being healthy whenever possible, I couldn't do that today. Now for the dark chocolate M&M cookies I went ahead and used the same chocolate chip cookie dough recipe substituting the M&Ms for the chocolate chips (sorry ahead of time for not having pictures of these). However, I do have an M&M cookie recipe I just didn't feel like digging it out when I already had the chocolate chip one in front of me. As for the sugar cookie recipe, I think this one is wonderful. I got it from my mom and what makes it so special is that this one is for drop or bar cookies and not meant to be rolled out. So whenever you're wanting sugar cookies you can have them without needing all the time to roll and cut them out. I think it sounds like a winning situation.
So as my final twist on these cookies, I baked some in the heart shaped mini cake pan my friend gave me for Christmas to mix in with the regular drop cookies. The cool thing about the heart shaped cookies is that they're thicker, so you essentially get a cookie cake, which is delicious.

I still don't have time for much writing, but thought I'd share this excellent meme I found yesterday…
Of course it's a variation of what I've written before – god is nothing more than an explanation for the unknown, invented by primitive man, and handed down through generations of indoctrination.
Once, when I wrote something like that here before, a commenter took offense and accused me of a genetic fallacy, then presented his version of an argument from first cause. And that prompted me to write about the argument from first cause. (Not my best piece of writing but it's not bad, I think. I didn't know what special pleading is, although I mentioned it without using its name.) Of course, in the case of the argument from first cause, it introduces a rule that everything needs a creator, in a sequence of causes and effects that can be traced back to a "first cause". Then it leaps to the conclusion that the first cause is god (a non sequitur because that does not follow) and states that god does not have a cause, which violates the rule of its premise.
But seeing the meme I've shared today made me think about it again. The question in my mind, which I'd like to address today is: How can you believe that questioning the origin of god is a genetic fallacy?
So what is a genetic fallacy? From the Google preview…
The genetic fallacy (also known as the fallacy of origins or fallacy of virtue) is a fallacy of irrelevance where a conclusion is suggested based solely on someone's or something's history, origin, or source rather than its current meaning or context.
So, clearly this is a fallacy where one reaches a conclusion on something, based solely on the origin of that thing, without considering its current meaning or context. I see then, how a person could claim that rejecting belief in god based on the origin of god might be considered such a fallacy… But I also see how that would be wrong. Can you?
It's like this: If you assume that god exists, then the origin of the claim that god exists becomes irrelevant, because god exists.
Of course, the reason that's wrong should be obvious… Like every religious apologetics argument, it starts with the assumption that god exists. That's not how logic works.
In fact, almost every apologetics argument has this problem. And many of them work like this:
- Start with the implicit, always unstated assumption that god exists.
- Make some statements about something else.
- Conclude that god exists, even though it does not follow logically from whatever statements were made. (Steps two to three are a non sequitur.)
As you can see, questioning the origin of god can only be perceived as a genetic fallacy if you assume that god exists. And as I've shown above, this conclusion that god exists, in apologetics arguments in general, often only "works" because the assumption was made. ("I know that X is true because I assume that X is true."… without stating the assumption directly but stating some unrelated stuff after making it.) This is why we often argue in circles in debates between theists and atheists… The theists always start with the assumption that their conclusion is true, but they do not realize that it's illogical (circular reasoning) to do so.
But because that assumption (that god exists) is implied, not stated, the theists who debate expect us to address their other statements, the irrelevant ones from which they take a leap of faith to conclude that god exists. (Even though the leap of faith only makes sense if one assumes that god exists.) Arguing about the irrelevant statements, whether that involves refuting straw man arguments of science or whatever, is pointless, because they are irrelevant. This is why, when someone wants to debate evolution, I like to short-circuit the debate – suggest to them that we ignore evolution. Assume that it's false if you want, and ask them how they get from unknown to god. Short-circuit the debate and reveal the assumption. But they don't want to discuss their actual claim that god exists, or face the fact that an assumption was made. Since there is no evidence for god, they prefer to discuss something else.

Sign of the times
I have always been partial to signs, and I am saddened to see them dwindle away in today's high street.
Call me sentimental but in the olden days businesses were very fond of the odd sign that got passers-by looking at it and then taking action, i.e., spending money with the shop.
If you ever look at old photographs of shops, theatres, amusement arcades or fairgrounds there were always signs, arrows and those wonderful pointing fingers enticing and beckoning people to partake and buy something.
Signs were simple and clear and abundant – "This way to the Fun House", "Hours of fun for only 6d", "Ice Cold Drinks Served Here", "Come inside, we can help" etc.
As I said here last week time is in short supply in people's lives, they are rushing around eyes glued to their phones, tweetering to distant friends and completely oblivious to your twenty feet of window display they have scuttled past!
Therefore you need to consider using signs that have simple, clear and possible eye-catching words that slow the passer-by down, give him a "soundbite", break his chain of thought and engage his brain to look a little bit harder at how your wonderful product will benefit him today.
If you have exclusive handcrafted clothing made from the finest cottons and silks that are worn by the stars, say it! Don't have a match-box size piece of paper with microscopic lettering; put it up in three inch (8cm) words on a sign!
Is your bread just out of the oven? Is it still warm and just waiting for a pat of butter to ooze across it?
"Only twenty for sale! Who will be lucky today?"
Again write out your person-stopping message for your freshly baked bread or hot meat pies in big letters on your sign.
Plus if you are feeling brave add a lovely arrow as well!
If you want to speak with me, I'm the one with the giant finger pointing at me on the Conge! (Only in my imagination at the moment)

General Conditions
1. Previous
These provisions determine the general terms and conditions of contract of the service owned by the merchant CUSTOMER CARE TECHNOLOGIES S.L. (Tax ID: B66546425), hereinafter Populetic, with registered office at Calle Rambla Iberia, 97 CP: 08205 Sabadell (Barcelona), and registered in the Mercantile Register of Barcelona, in volume 44875, folio 129, sheet number B-470060.
2. Agreement:
2.1 When the Customer signs the authorization document, the Customer automatically and simultaneously accepts these terms and conditions.
2.2 An agreement will be established only if Populetic agrees to process the customer's claim. Populetic has the right to waive the processing of any claim for any reason. In case of resignation, Populetic will notify the customer.
2.3 By establishing an agreement with Populetic, you warrant that you are authorized and have legal capacity to establish the agreement.
2.4 The Customer warrants that the claim has not been assigned to third parties and that there is no pending or anticipated legal dispute between the Customer and the Company over the same matter. Once the authorization document is signed, the customer will not be able to hire any third party to continue the claim or assign the case to any third party. Any existing agreement or assignment, if any, must be cancelled before signing the assignment of rights form or authorization document.
2.5 If the Customer receives a direct payment or any other compensation from the airline after formalizing the authorization document, the Customer is obliged to inform Populetic immediately. Such payments shall be considered as compensation for the incident of the flight. Once signed the transfer of rights form or authorization document, the customer will be obliged to cease any negotiation with the airline and to direct any communication from the airline to Populetic in order to achieve the best possible result.
2.6 The agreement ends:
- 1) When compensation has been accepted by Populetic, payment from the airline has been received by Populetic and transferred to the customer after deducting the applicable fees.
- 2) When Populetic states that it would be worthless to continue the claim after analyzing the feasibility of the case and warned the customer that the claim will not be continued.
3. Service Description
3.1 Populetic will handle the claim extrajudicial and judicial in order to obtain financial compensation for the customer in accordance with the current legislation applicable to the carriage of passengers and baggage by air.
3.2 Flight data and information must be sent to Populetic via the website, email, telephone or other populetic compatible electronic or software solutions. Upon receipt of the application, Populetic will verify the viability of the claim.
3.3 In order to proceed with the customer's claim successfully, Populetic needs the authorization document or mandate signed by the customer, which can be sent via the website, email or postal service. Once the authorization has been completed, Populetic will file the claim against the airline as soon as possible and take care of the entire process.
3.4 Populetic will try to reach a satisfactory agreement for the customer on the basis of their experience, but if within a reasonable period of time it does not receive a response from the airline or the airline is unsatisfactory, it will pass the file to one of its lawyers for legal action.
3.5 In the event that a legal representative is appointed to initiate legal action, the client will allow Populetic to grant access to it of all data provided to Populetic and will allow the legal representative to transfer the information relating to the procedure to Populetic. If additional documentation is required, such as a proxy, affidavit, authorization, transfer of rights or any other documentation relevant to the court, the customer agrees to sign and pay for such additional documentation.
3.6 If the contracted legal representative concludes that there is little chance of success, the client will be informed of this and Populetic will not proceed with the claim.
3.7 If Populetic or the contracted legal representative brings legal action to process the claim, Populetic will cover any costs arising from such proceedings in the event of loss of the dispute. In the event that the dispute is won or an agreement is concluded between the airline and Populetic, Populetic will charge the agreed fees.
3.8 The customer approves that it is only Populetic who can accept any proposal offered by the airline or its representatives. Therefore, the customer authorizes Populetic to accept or reject any offer based on their experience.
4. Fees and commissions
4.1 Populetic will manage the customer's claim free of charge. If Populetic obtains compensation, will proceed to pay, after deducting a commission of 25% of the amount obtained + VAT, the remaining amount in the bank account designated by the client for that purpose. Also, if the customer gets directly paid from the airline or the Court, the customer is obliged to inform Populetic and pay the agreed fees. In the event that the client does not report the income received and Populetic filed a lawsuit from which he had to withdraw, the agreed commission will be charged.
4.2 In the event of cancellation of the claim due to reasons attributable to the client (express request, duplication of claims, failure to attend the hearing or negligence), the latter will pay Populetic the amount of the services performed, valued at 50 euros until the file is assigned to one of the lawyers and in the commission agreed upon the filing of the court application.
4.3 Judicial proceedings shall be deemed to have been initiated from the moment that Populetic has filed the claim on behalf of the client. In most cases it will not be necessary to hold a hearing, so there will be no expense of the Attorney or Notary. It will only be necessary to hold a hearing if the air carrier or the judge requests a hearing. In this sense, the client undertakes to go to the act of the hearing and/or to grant power for lawsuits or "apud acta". If, for whatever reason, the client is unable to attend, Populetic may represent the client through the Procurator, with expenses payable to the client. Such representation may be "apud acta" (the client must go to the Court, without further expenses) or by means of a power of attorney, with expenses of 35 euros + VAT. The unjustified failure of the client to appear at the hearing entitles Populetic to claim its fees according to the amount claimed.
4.4 In the event of obtaining a judgment in which, in addition to the payment of the amount claimed, the company is ordered to pay interest and procedural costs, the customer assigns to Populetic the decision to liquidate them and the credit generated in its favour. On the contrary, if the claim was unsuccessful and the company obtained a cost order, Populetic would bear the costs, so that the customer does not have to pay anything.
4.5 Upon signature of the authorization and/or mandate document, the customer undertakes to bear the costs of the claim as well as the agreed fees, even when accepting any compensation offered by the airline, either with or without the intervention of Populetic and/or against its advice.
4.6 If the customer provides insufficient or erroneous information necessary for the payment of compensation, Populetic is entitled to deduct external costs imposed, in addition to the agreed commission. If after successive reminders and reasonable efforts by Populetic to contact the customer does not respond or does not provide the information required for payment of the agreed portion of the compensation, Populetic shall be entitled to reserve the portion of the compensation that would otherwise have been transferred to the customer.
4.7 When Populetic, the airline or the Court have made the payment of compensation to the customer, Populetic will no longer be liable for:
- 1) Checks, prepaid debit cards, credit cards or similar.
- 2) No effect derived from the customer giving bank information or wrong address, including but not limiting, compensation paid to an erroneous recipient. Therefore, if compensation has been paid to another recipient by mistake of the customer, Populetic is not obliged to actively claim it.
4.8 No interest may be claimed for the period between entry and exit of payment. Populetic reserves the right to retain any interest that has been recovered from the airline.
4.9 No invoice will be provided by default for the service provided and commission charged, but can be requested and sent by email.
4.10 Populetic shall not be liable for any compensation, damages or similar amount, if it has an impediment to transfer payment to the customer due to an event outside its control, including without limitation, strike, closure, labor dispute, act of force majeure, war, disturbance, social unrest, intentional damage, compliance with a government law or order, rule, regulation or guideline, accident, plant or machinery breakdown, fire, flood or storm.
5. Data protection
Populetic will only use the personal data provided by the client for the purpose of processing the claim in accordance with the legislation in force in Spain and the European Union, in particular with Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, concerning the protection of natural persons in the area of concerning the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data and its implementing regulations. The customer provides Populetic with the explicit permission to process the data provided and for the use thereof in the context of the contractual relationship.
Populetic will only transfer personal data to third parties under the following conditions:
- 1) If it is for a purpose directly related to the original purpose for which the data were collected;
- (2) If necessary for the preparation, negotiation and performance of a contract with the client;
- (3) If required due to a legal, administrative or court order obligation.
- (4) If it is required for the establishment or protection of legal claims in respect of legal actions;
- 5) Whether they serve to prevent misuse or other illegal activities, such as deliberate attacks, to ensure data security.
6. Customer data and information
6.1 The customer must provide all data and information necessary for the proper execution of the service. The Customer warrants that the data and information provided are correct, complete and true.
6.2 The Customer agrees to indemnify Populetic in all respects for all claims of third parties, due to incorrect communication of the Customer, provision of data or fraudulent conduct.
6.3 In the event of incorrect data and information or fraudulent conduct, Populetic reserves the right to terminate the agreement with immediate effect. If the agreement terminates in accordance with this paragraph, the customer shall not have any right to compensation.
6.4 The documents drafted and used for the complete management of the claim (both extrajudicial and judicial) are the property of Populetic. Therefore, Populetic reserves the right to deliver them to the customer. The customer will be kept informed of the status of their claim whenever requested.
7. Withdrawal Policy
The CLIENT has a period of 14 days to exercise his right of withdrawal without any cost and without the need to specify any reason. POPULETIC puts at your disposal a downloadable model on their website.
7.2 To exercise his right to revoke his consent, the customer must state unequivocally that he wishes to cancel the claim. The communication should be addressed to CUSTOMER CARE TECHNOLOGIES S.L., Calle Rambla Iberia, 97 CP: 08205 Sabadell (Barcelona), e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or fax 0034 933 969 865.
7.3 The Customer may not revoke the acceptance of the agreement if the carrier has informed Populetic of the acceptance of the claim, as in that case the service requested would have been completed.
8. Final provisions
8.1 Populetic is authorized to modify these Terms and Conditions, fees, commissions, and to establish additional conditions at any time without notice. However, any changes that have a negative effect on the customer will not apply to the customer unless they access such new changes.
8.2 The laws of Spain shall apply to these Terms and Conditions, to the authorization document and to the agreement between Populetic and the customer. Any dispute regarding these Terms and Conditions, the document of authorization and transfer of rights or provisions of the website must be resolved exclusively before the courts of Barcelona.
8.3 If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes void, unlawful or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
8.4 The full text of these Terms and Conditions and the authorization document have been drafted in several languages, although in the event of a discrepancy of interpretation, the Spanish version will prevail.

Syntax Highlighting in Redmine Project Repository
Redmine is a greate way to track projects and their code repositories in a "one stop shopping" locale. The only issue is that, while Redmine makes use of its syntax highlighter of choice (CodeRay, by default), it doesn't know about the custom file extensions used by Domino Designer. This can be easily remedied with a few quick edits.
Updating Redmine CodeRay to Syntax Highlight (most) Domino/XPages Design Elements
Get into the correct file that pertains to file extensions and syntax highlighting definitions.
- go to your Redmine directory (ex-
- enter your vendor library path for CodeRay (ex-
- edit the
file_type.rbfile (which defines the language syntax associtiations, ex-
lib/coderay/helpers/file_type.rb) with your preferred editor
Now that you're there, we need to associate the design elements accordingly. Scroll down to the section defining the array of TypeFromExt (or search, in nano CTRL+W, for something like xml), and add in the following:
- 'fa' => :xml,
- 'form' => :xml,
- 'frameset' => :xml,
- 'jss' => :java_script,
- 'page' => :xml,
- 'properties' => :xml,
- 'view' => :xml,
- 'xsp' => :xml,
The Notes (classic) design elements, especially Form and View, are best viewed in source control if you have un-checked the 'Use Binary DXL for source control opersations' in Domino Designer (Domino Designer > Source Control) and will read like a semi-decent XML structure. If you're just concerned about the XPage'd elements, the 'xsp' file extension and 'jss' are the only necessary definitions.

In mid-August, Hollywood/Japanese film star Shin Koyamada, under the banner of the Shin Koyamada Foundation (SKF), embarked on a special US/Japan brotherhood tour of Japan called, "Visiting U.S.A. - Achieve Your American Dream." Backed by several various diplomatic and governmental agencies, as well as the assorted SKFs from around Japan, the first stop on his tour was Koyamada's home Prefecture of Okayama on the island of Honshu. Held at the Sanyo Women Junior & High School in Okayama, the event was jointly hosted by the United States Consulate-General of Kobe-Osaka, the Japan-America Society of Okayama and the SKF Okayama.
The day's festivities began with the Chairman of the Japan-America Society of Okayama, Mr. Kawabata, conveying his honorable welcoming remarks to more than 200 Junior High, High School and university students, after which the audience was treated to a brief live jazz performance by a local society board member who also happened to study in the U.S. The rousing applause subsiding, Patrick Linehan, Council General of the U.S. Consulate-General of Kobe-Osaka, gave the audience an invigorating speech in Japanese on important elements on how the students could improve their English conversation skills. In closing, he urged them to visit the U.S.
Shin Koyamada then addressed the audience with words of inspiration encouraging the Japanese youth to pursue their dreams and goals by sharing his personal experiences of moving to America and making his dreams come true in the U.S. Koyamada words further empowered the audience to study English and study abroad.
The event ended with an open floor, 20-minute Q&A session where Consul General Linehan and Koyamada addressed questions from the students and visiting parents.
Local TV coverage was provided by the Sanyo Broadcasting System (RSK) and TV-Setouchi Broadcasting Company in Okayama and Kagawa Prefectures. The event was also featured in the local newspaper published by the Sanyo Newspaper Company and distributed throughout the Okayama, Kagawa and parts of the Hiroshima Prefectures.
The event received wonderful feedback from the audience and warm positive support from the local media sponsors.

In Sues workshop we are making these little black birds and houses. It's alot like paper mache' and equally as easy. These are Sues birds thats why they look so good. She is amazing!
Not quite done with my house, but for a first attempt it's not too bad. It's alot harder than it looks. I don't know maybe it's that overthinking thing that I have. I used a piece of luan as my base and started building up from there. If you have ever thought about taking a workshop you should do it, it's a blast and all the artists are super nice and friendly. The workshops are put on by cloth paper. I am taking another class with Sue tomorrow and looking forward to it :)

out of the three listed i would say that L'instant is most worthy
Thread: The clash of the modern classics
I've been thinking about modern classic fragrances and I'll probably end up purchasing one. Three post-millennial fragrances I see as worthy of the title "modern classic " are:
L'instant de Guerlan (possibly Extreme)
Yves Saint Laurent L'homme (possibly La Nuit)
Burberry touch.
Which fragrances do you see as deserving of the title "modern classic"?
out of the three listed i would say that L'instant is most worthy
For me, modern classics will be:
Rive Gauche pour Homme by YSL
A*Men by Thierry Mugler
Dior Homme by Christian Dior
SOLOMON saith: There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, That all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, That all novelty is but oblivion.
L'Homme may go down in history as a classic.
I doubt that Burberry Touch will, but anything's possible.
We will have to see which of these contemporary colognes will still sell in the 2020's.
I think One Million or Bulgari Aqua could be classics, but the early 2000's doesn't compete to the stuff that was released in the 90's.
Une Fleur de Cassie by Frederic Malle
Aventus by Creed
Sycomore by Chanel
It'd definitely be LIDGE and not L'instant. I think La Nuit beats L'homme, and Burberry Touch is definitely not a modern classic (I think it's okay though). My three would be Terre d'Hermes, Dior Homme, and either Malt or Havane. I'd think about Burberry London as a maybe. It's great and unique, but one of the three best modern scents? Tough call.
Amouage Memoir
Amber Absolute
Tobacco Vanille
Portrait of a Lady
Terre d'Hermes
L'Air du Desert Marocain
Current Top Five:
1. Bois des Iles--Chanel
2. George Sand--Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
3. L'Ame Soeur--Divine
4. Violet Blonde--Tom Ford
5. Santal Blush--Tom Ford
Burberry Brit
Burberry London
Terre d'Hermes
Terre d'Hermes
Musc Ravageur
M7, unfortunately eviscerated in current formulations
1. Epic Man by Amouage (33 wears)
2. Leather Oud by Christian Dior (31 wears)
3. M7 by Yves Saint Laurent (27 wears)
4. Oud Imperial (black) by Perris Monte Carlo (22 wears)
5. Russian Tea Ritual by Masque (20 wears)
6. Fate Man by Amouage (19 wears)
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Apart from the ones already mentioned so far: Ungaro III, so underrated, so stylish
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) Polo vintage (Ralph Lauren) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
Definitely another vote for Dior Homme, and maybe, possibly, Burberry London.
L'instant extreme for sure, different league.
Creed Windsor
I would say Rive Gauche is a old style done modern barbershop classic.
I should have done a poll, but that would be limited. From what I've counted, Basenotes' favorite modern classics are, in order:
L'instant de Guerlain; 4 mentions
L'instant de Guerlain Extreme; 3 mentions
Dior Homme; 3 mentions
Terre d'Hermès; 3 mentions
Angel men; 2 mentions.
Terre d`Hermes
Its hard to say because there are so many fragrances and so many manufacturers out there these days. I would agree that LIDGE and Terre D'Hermes seem to be well on their way.
Rive Gauche
Prada Amber PH
Please visit my SALES thread! HERE
Looks like TDH is pulling ahead with five mentions and LIDG is following closely with four. Judging by the notes, I think my vote is for LIDG.
If we are including both 90s & 2000's, I'd say;
One Million
Le Male
Acqua Di Gio
Chanel Allure Homme Sport
probably Armani Code would be considered one too, although I personally don't like it (I do like Sport Code though
I think Burberry Touch is way down the list of modern classics, I don't think it even finishes first in its own house behind London and Brit.
If you read through any number of reviews for Touch, you'll get people on both sides of the spectrum with many saying it's nothing special. Personally I have very mixed feelings towards it. I think that lack of universal regard makes it difficult to argue that Touch is a classic, even though you yourself may think of it very highly
At the very least though I think we can agree that Touch is far less worthy of the classic title than Burberry London
Creed Windsor and GIT, Chanel Egoiste.
Guerlain Heritage.
(and Rive Gauche)

The ZenFone 3S Max is a nice smartphone meant for the people's who need a long battery life
The phones offers a 5,000 mAH battery that takes around 3.5hrs from 0% to 100%, which can easily last a normal user more then 60 hours on one single charge but with this large battery, the phone feels quite heavy and bulky.
Talking about the design
The ZenFone 3S Max comes with a metal unibody design along with a smooth finished back and 2.5D glass on the front and we get power button along with volume rockers on the right, 3.5mm headphone Jack in the top, and charging port , speaker grill on the bottom. The ZenFone 3S Max has a fine built quality but weight's a bit heavy so, there's a possibility that screen can break even if the phone slips from a low height
About the Camera
Here for the very first time ASUS disappointed us as the camera is not that great as it was in the older phones like ZenFone 3 Max, here ASUS missed out with the laser auto focus ,the phone comes with a 13 MP rear camera shooter and an 8MP shooter on the front, and we get some nice camera modes along with the inbuilt camera App.
Display of the Smartphone
We get a 5.2 inch 1280*720 IPS DISPLAY with 2.5D glass protection on the front and the viewing angles are pretty cool.
The touch is responsive and comes with 10 multi-touch recognition
Performance of the phone while gaming
The game ran quite well without any lags for first 15 minutes but later we could easily find some minor lags. after continuous play of 35 minutes the temperature started to rise but overall gaming experience was fine.
About the Smartphone
The phone comes with 3GB ram along with 32GB internal storage which is expandable up-to 2TB. and is powered by a 1.5Ghz octa-core Chipset and the phone runs on ZenUI 3.0 based on Android Marshmallow.
The phones comes with dual mic and front facing fingerprint scanner for the very first time by ASUS. and the phone is backed by Massive 5,000mAh battery that can easily last you 3-4 days.
Our thoughts about the Smartphone
The ZenFone 3S Max is a great phone for some one who wants to live unplugged for 3-4days without charging the phone. and the phone comes with a nice feature of reverse charging which is quite cool. But we were disappointed with the Camera this time as the performance is not great .

Cash Gopher
How It Works
- You Download The Cash Gopher Software (it only takes a minute or two)
- Your Computer Works For You During Its Idle Time
- We Share Our Advertising Revenues With You
- The Gopher Pays You Cash Each Month Via Paypal
- Then... Refer Others & Make Even More Money!!!
What is CashGopher and how does it work?
CashGopher Wrote:
CashGopher is a website that empowers users to "let your computer work for you" and earn money by installing our downloadable software.
CashGopher is extremely simple to use. You download and install the software, use your computer as you normally would, and make money while doing nothing.
This probably sounds too good to be true, right? Well, here's the catch.
While your computer is otherwise idle, CashGopher will at times perform various online "chores" and send the results of those chores back to the "Mother Gopher", if you will. Think of the Mother Gopher as a huge computer that stores the results of all the chores performed by all of the CashGophers running around the world.
Companies are willing to pay us for the right to harness the vast computing power that CashGopher provides, and we, in turn, pay a portion of that money to each of you.
Are you starting to see how this could work???
In addition, advertisers are willing to pay us for the right to serve targeted advertisements to everybody who's running the CashGopher software. You see advertisements all the time while browsing the internet, right? Websites make billions of dollars a year serving you advertisements, and you get nothing in return. We figured you might want a piece of that pie. So we, in turn, pay a portion of our advertising revenues back to you.
All of your earnings are collected in your CashGopher account. In general, the more you leave your computer powered on and hooked up to the internet (the CashGopher needs to talk to the Mother Gopher, after all) and the more you use the internet yourself, the more money you will see accumulate in your CashGopher account. Simply login at http://www.cashgopher.com/login.aspx with your email address and password that you chose upon installation to see your earnings.
Once you have accumulated at least $10 in your CashGopher account, you are eligible to receive your account balance paid out via Paypal.
It's that simple!
Will the CashGopher chores slow down my computer?
CashGopher Wrote:
Since CashGopher chores are only performed when your computer is otherwise idle but still connected to the internet, you shouldn't notice any difference whatsoever. If you notice any issues, please report them to us in our Help section. It's also easy to uninstall CashGopher via your computer's control panel if you no longer want it installed.
Exactly what kind of "chores" will CashGopher be using my computer to perform? Anything illegal?
CashGopher Wrote:
Of course not!
The actual chores being performed will depend on many factors including each user's geographical location, processing power and internet connection speed, time of day, and demand from our clients. One example is called "website uptime monitoring." Many webmasters like to know if their websites are accessible from different parts of the world at any given time. The distributed computing power of CashGopher make projects like this possible.
Can I install this on multiple computers to make even more money?

Obituary of Nora Jane Fenicle
Nora Jane Fitch Harsh Fenicle entered life eternal at Lenawee Medical Care Facility September 1, 2018, with her family present. Nora "Jane" was born on June 8, 1928 in Adrian Michigan to Rev. Floyd and Virginia (Cyphert) Fitch. She attended Adrian College where she met her husband Robert Harsh. They were married in Angola, Indiana in April 1947. To this union was born their daughters Frances Anne Kottke and Martha Jane Wheeler. Sadly, Bob was killed in September 1950 in route to serve in the Korean War.
Jane owned Schwartz's Restaurant in downtown Adrian where she was known for her homemade pies. After selling the restaurant she worked at several Adrian locations including Shopper's Fair and J. C. Penney's. In 1981 she moved to Lafayette, Indiana and completed her working career at Purdue University where she enjoyed meeting many of the sports team's coaches and staff. After retiring from Purdue in 1997 she moved to Palm Bay, Florida to live with her sister Anne. While there she enjoyed many cruises with family and friends and trips to Disney World. Jane eventually moved back to Adrian in 2011 to be closer to family.
Jane loved watching sports of every kind, especially the Detroit Tigers and whatever sport the Purdue Boilermakers were playing. She never turned down a good mystery or spy novel. Many people were recipients of her knitting and crocheting skills. She especially enjoyed flower gardening, and wherever she lived insisted on decorating her patio with flower pots.
She will be remembered by her daughters Fran and Marti and her sons in law John Kottke and Doug Wheeler. She leaves grandchildren Sean (Charlotte) Kottke, Aaron Kottke, Jennifer (Daniel) Rothschild, and Abigail (William) Hessling, great grandchildren Alexis (Phillip) Fischer, August Cavazos-Kottke, Ian Herrick, Elizabeth and Harriet Rothschild, brother Floyd (Pat) Fitch and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings David, Roger, Anne and William Fitch as well as her second husband Wilbur Fenicle.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 5, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. with a visitation from 11 to 1 prior to the service at the Anderson-Marry Funeral Home in Adrian Michigan with the Rev. Linda Farley officiating. Burial will be private at a later date. Expressions of sympathy may be made to First Christian - Disciples of Christ Church in Adrian.
You may send condolences to the family at www.andersonfuneralservices.com. Envelopes are available at Anderson-Marry Funeral Home in Adrian. The family would like to thank the staff at Lenawee Medical Care Facility for their kind and loving care.

Some Leeds landmarks are loved, others are most definitely loathed.
But however they fare in the popularity stakes, they all form part of the proud history of their city.
Here are a few parts of the Leeds landscape that have been consigned to the history books and will no doubt stir more than a few memories.
An imposing sight on the city skyline, the floodlights that once rose above Leeds United's Elland Road ground were famously the tallest in Europe.
Three of them went up in 1973 while the fourth, at the stadium's south east corner, was added in 1978.
For years they were as much a part of the Elland Road night game experience as a packed bus from town or a half-time cup of Bovril.
They also secured an unlikely place in music folklore when an 'exuberant' fan decided to climb one of the towers during Happy Mondays' gig at the ground in 1991.
Sadly the floodlights were taken down in the 1990s and, for some supporters, evening matches have never quite been the same since.
The Leeds International Pool dated back to the 1960s and was regarded as one of Leeds's least attractive buildings.
Designed by Pontefract architect John Poulson – later jailed for corruption – the pool was famously too narrow for eight-lane Olympic standards.
It closed in October 2007, with the bulldozers moving in two years later.
Plans for a 24-storey residential tower called The Spiracle' on the site fell victim to the credit crunch.
The Fforde Grene pub in Harehills was built in 1938 and for many years was one of Leeds's main music venues, playing host to early gigs by big names such as The Sex Pistols and U2.
By the early years of the 21st century its reputation had nosedived as it became a magnet for anti-social behaviour.
It remained, however, a reassuringly familiar presence at the busy junction of Roundhay Road, Easterly Road and Harehills Lane.
The Fforde Grene closed for good following a drugs raid in 2004 and three years later came the announcement that it was being turned into a supermarket.
The old Yorkshire Evening Post building on Wellington Street was never easy on the eye but that didn't stop it being at the very heart of Leeds for more than 40 years.
Opened by Prince Charles in 1970, it was designed by John Madin – also the architect of the BBC's Pebble Mill complex.
The site housed more than 1,300 staff while the presses in the main print hall stood around three storeys tall.
The building was demolished in 2014, with the YEP moving to its present multi-media home on Whitehall Road.
Finally, here's the one that got away.
Anthony Gormley, the man who designed the Angel of the North, came up with an idea for a giant Brick Man sculpture for Leeds in the 1980s.
He wanted the proposed 120ft-high sculpture to occupy a high-profile gateway site near Leeds City Station.
In the event, however, the council refused to grant it planning permission following a campaign of opposition led, in part, by the YEP.
The only thing that did get made in the end was a 6ft model of the Brick Man, which has been on show at Leeds Art Gallery.

Carbon Offsets and Guilt Relief
By James L. Hirsen, J.D., Ph.D.
These days, if you're an environmentalist who is guilty of polluting, exploiting, or otherwise abusing the planet, you can actually buy your way out of the guilt-ridden mess.
Apparently, all you have to do is calculate a rough estimate of the carbon you produce, fork over some of that green stuff in your wallet to a company or organization that says it will invest your cash in an eco-friendly activity, wave your official certificate in the air, and voila! your conscience is cleared.
It is the hottest liberal scheme of latecarbon offsets.
One of the most common carbon offsets involves the planting of trees. But there are a few problems with the eco-plan:
Trees planted in one place may inhibit trees growing in another place (e.g., the planting of new trees could cause a stream that feeds an existing forest to dry up.)
Trees take a long time to grow and a significant delay may occur between the planting of a tree and evidence of its atmospheric impact.
Trees are planted for their carbon absorption capacity. but the amount of carbon a tree is able to store is not easily determined.
Emission measurements used for the purposes of the eco-exchanges are very rough estimates (e.g., greater pollution may occur when a plane is taxiing on the ground than when it is flying across the country.
Still, assuaging liberal guilt seems to be a huge growth industry, and a host of entities have sprung up to accommodate those who feel burdened.
The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) actually trades greenhouse gas offsets in a similar fashion to the stock market.
The CCX recently announced the biggest trading month in the exchange's history. In February 2007 CCX traded 3,712,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide. At prices that hover around $4 per metric ton that means CCX traded over $14 million worth of offsets in one month.
In addition to the planting of trees, some firms offer carbon offset alternatives such as investments in wind farms, bio-diesel plants, methane projects, and the like.
A new report by the Transnational Institute, a Dutch advocacy group, indicates that carbon offset arrangements may be damaging the environment rather than helping to fight climate change.
The report, titled "The Carbon Neutral Myth," compares existing carbon offsets to indulgences granted by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.
The report contends that rather than having any meaningful effect on the environment most carbon offset programs just create moneymaking opportunities for "self styled eco-capitalists."

About the Centre
Welcome to the Particulate Fluids Processing Centre, a Special Research Centre of the Australian Research Council, based at The University of Melbourne.
The PFPC is the centre of a cluster that supplies basic key science to a variety of important commercial and applied enterprises, many of which have grown out of the PFPC. The Centre is focused on the production of knowledge in the area of colloid and interfacial science enabling activities where the basic knowledge has been, and is being, applied.
The PFPC brings together staff and students from across the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Mathematics and Statistics along with the School of Chemistry to form one of the world's leading multi-disciplinary research centres in interfacial science and engineering.
We welcome your enquiries about opportunities available within the PFPC for research collaboration, the services that we provide for industry, as well as career and educational opportunities.
Our structure
We like to think of the PFPC as the hub that supplies key science and knowledge to a variety of important commercial enterprises that will add value to advanced particulate fluid and material products that are produced from Australian resources; these are our spokes.
The structure of our "hub and spokes" model is illustrated above. At the centre the PFPC is focused on the production of knowledge in the area of colloid and interfacial science and engineering. Emanating from the core research knowledge is a range of activities where the basic knowledge has been, and is being, applied. The largest of these are shown.
