4th Congressional District Meeting Report - October 2017
by Dede Murphy, Coos County Democrats Vice Chair
Richard Kuznitsky and I attended the 4th Congressional District meeting in Corvallis, Oregon, on October 15, 2017. There were a couple of speakers. Chris Wig, chair of the Lane County Dems, was the first speaker. He gave us some information on Measure 101, which will be voted on in a special election in January of 2018. Highlights:
- The passage of the measure is very important for the continuation of the Oregon Health Plan. The measure asks voters to support the healthcare plan developed by healthcare experts and advocates throughout Oregon, businesses and unions, hospitals, the AARP and patient advocates. The plan will guarantee that 95% of Oregonians, including all kids in the state, maintain access to healthcare and reduces premiums for those who buy their own coverage.
- If the measure passes in January, there will be no reductions to healthcare coverage or benefits for the one million vulnerable Oregonians who count on Medicaid. Premiums for more than 210, 000 Oregonians will stay at 6% lower than they would have been without the reinsurance program.
- If the measure does not pass in January, state funding for healthcare will be cut by between $210 and $320 million, resulting in the loss of potentially $5 billion in federal funding, which will throw the state budget and funding for low-income children, families, and people with disabilities into crisis.
- Suggested action items for county parties included presenting a resolution to defend Measure 101, going door to door to promote it, and/or writing letters to the editor of our local paper in support of the measure. Whatever it takes to get out the information to the population that this measure is important for all Oregonians, but especially low-income residents.
We will be getting promotional information from the DPO in the near future so look for more information and local actions soon.
The other speaker was Mario Parker Campbell. He spoke about Constituency Outreach. Some of the items to consider when reaching out to our constituents:
- Consider a strategic coalition with other groups that can work with us to achieve our goals, such as the Indivisible groups and other such groups in the area.
- Also, consider who may be working against us so that we can be aware of any roadblocks that may be thrown our way.
- Be aware of what's going on in the community, city, county, state, country and the world so that we can speak truthfully and informed on the topics at hand.
- Set goals and work towards them.
- Sometimes it is necessary to get issues out of the way first, such as the Hillary vs. Bernie issue. Clear the air between the groups so that we can work together. It's so important for us to be working together in these times even if we do not agree on all issues.
- Keep moving forward and learn from the past.
- Ask each other what can we do to complete whatever action that is necessary to accomplish our goals.
The whole meeting was great. All the County Dems present gave reports on what they've been doing. We got quite an ovation from all present when I told them we had opened an office on Broadway in downtown Coos Bay. They were all thrilled.
Thanks for the report, Dede!

Gadgets That Make Great Gifts
The gift-giving season brings both joy and frustration to those determined to find just the right present for their loved ones. Those of us who love tech heads, gadget gurus and geeks know that the right electronic doohickey can go a long way to getting that picture-perfect moment when it's time to open gifts. But sorting through all the options is an exhausting and overwhelming prospect.
How do you know which digital horse to back when shopping for gadgets? Some devices, like Apple's iPad tablets, have met with incredible success and will be supported for years to come. But others, like the Nintendo 3DS, have had a rougher time after a big debut, and may struggle down the road.
Many tablets have tried to challenge Apple for the title of Tablet King of the Universe, but for now, the iPad still retains its spot at the top. One of the most impressive competitors is Sony's Tablet S, which relies on Google Android's Honeycomb operating system.
The Tablet S boasts some pretty impressive features. For one, Sony has designed the tablet so that it can play certain PlayStation One and PSPtitles. This makes the Tablet S one of the more compelling tablets as far as mobile gaming is concerned.
Every gadget fan knows that a low battery is a cause for concern. As our tech arsenals grow, we run the risk of draining a battery to empty just as we need a gadget the most. The Solio Bolt Charger is a support device — it holds enough juice to recharge a smartphone up to two times without needing its own recharge.
There are a couple of options you can use to power up a Solio Bolt Charger. The gadget has solar panels on it, so just leaving it in a sunny place will allow it to store electricity. You can also plug it into a wall using an adapter or into a USB charging port with a USB cable.
The Internet provides us with access to far more content than we could ever hope to experience. But while watching old sitcom episodes or the latest music videos on a computer can be fun, it doesn't really compare to experiencing video on a television. That's where the Roku 2 comes in. There are three versions of the Roku 2, which offer slightly different sets of features. With all of them, you connect the box to your television and your home network so that you can stream content from the Internet to your TV.
Your programming choices aren't unlimited — the Roku 2 has specific content channels available. If you're a Netflix Instant, Hulu Plus or Amazon Prime customer, you can connect your account to the Roku 2 device and watch content on your television. The Roku 2 also has content from other providers as well, ranging from Major League Baseball to independent podcasters.
Buying a smartphone for a gadget geek can be risky. Not only must you guess at which operating system the geek will prefer, but you may also commit that person to a contract. In some ways, smartphones are the gift that keeps on taking — you have to pay a monthly phone and data bill just to keep your gadget in working order. But Apple's iPod touchgives you the experience of owning a smartphone without the pesky phone part.
The latest iPod touch models start at $199, making them a pricy MP3 player option. But consider the features. The iPod touch can run many of the same apps as an iPhone. The new models can use iMessage when connected to a network, giving you instant messaging capabilities. And you can even have a video call with other Apple mobile device users with Facetime. We've come a long way from the days when the most advanced feature on an MP3 player was shuffle.

Netflix Is Not Re-Encoding It's Library 'By Hand'
Several media sources are claiming that Netflix is re-encoding it's entire media library "by hand". I tried to find out how many titles this would entail, but the information doesn't seem to be readily available. It must be at least 10,000 titles at any given time world-wide.
Articles by popular media sources such as Hello Giggles and Uproxx are telling people that Netflix engineers are spending their time going through titles one-by-one, manually watching and tuning the bitrate of each title to perfection.
Having read the Netflix blog post that sparked all this earlier in the day, I wanted to try to explain that "per title encoding optimization" does not mean "manually tuning".
Currently Netflix uses a fairly naive method of setting the bitrate for tv shows and movies. They set the same bitrate for the same resolution across the entire library, not depending on the content. For example, a cartoon at 1080p and an action movie at 1080p would both have the same bitrate (about 5.5mbps). The cartoon though doesn't require such a high bitrate since many scenes are highly static, and contain large areas of the same colour.
Netflix also has to take in to account that people need to stream content on a possibly slow connection, thus they have to keep the bitrate as low as possible. Thus your action movies don't get enough bitrate for perfect viewing pleasure, and your cartoons are getting too much.
Their new method of "per-title optimization" means that they are using an automated system to tune the bitrate for each title in their library. They're using a metric called Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) to get a quantative measure on quality, and seeing how low they can run the bitrate and still attain a similar PSNR value (and thus similar quality). They repeat this process for every resolution (480p, 720p, 1080p, 4k) and for every title.
And really, with Netflix engineers supposedly earning over $200,000 a year, I would expect a more clever solution than manually watching everything in the Netflix library and tuning it's bitrate.

Author: Alice Stuart-Brown
Rice has always been a versatile tool. From its use as a primitive form of cement when building the Great Wall of China, to providing nearly 20% of modern global caloric intake and acting as the main food source for 3 billion people worldwide, it has been an irreplaceable staple for humans for centuries. There are thousands of varieties of rice, but they are all in danger from the overwhelming threat of climate change (Ricepedia, 2018).
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is out to change this. This largest gene bank in the world can be found in the Philippines; they are safeguarding over 100,000 varieties of rice to protect food supplies in a world with an ever-changing climate (International Rice Research Institute - IRRI, 2018).
Why is so much time being invested in rice?
Rice is an ideal food source to store in case of a global food crisis. Not only is it already a staple in our diets but it can be stored for long periods of time at low temperatures. Over the past 57 years, the IRRI has been dedicated to reducing poverty through growing rice. Rice is relatively easy to grow and produces a high yield so is ideal.
What is currently threatening rice yields?
Flooding is becoming an increasing problem due to rising sea levels and the predicted increased intensity of tropical storms with climate change. 20 million hectares of the world's rice-growing area is at risk of flooding in places such as India, Bangladesh, and China. Southern Asia is already one of the wettest regions on earth. It receives an average of 1000mm of rainfall annually, but increasingly severe weather is putting India, Bangladesh, and China at risk. The rise in temperatures due to climate change will mean an increase in evaporation which eventually results in more storms over areas already prone to such events (Pmm.nasa.gov, 2018).
In addition to its work towards preventing global food crisis, the IRRI can also address many issues raised by climate change, such as excess soil salinity from rising sea levels. Rice is usually only moderately tolerant of salt and yields are often majorly reduced when there is excess salt in the soil, but researchers can genetically alter some varieties to survive such conditions. The latest variety of rice to be stored successfully has been aptly named "scuba rice." Scuba rice has been genetically modified to withstand being submerged in flood water, and has been successfully grown in the large rice producing communities of Southeast Asia and researchers are currently investigating how to grow it successfully in Africa.
What Issues are the IRRI facing?
Although genetically modified (GM) rice seems like a perfect solution to the global food crisis, many people have issues with GM crops. For example, people are wary of modification due to the potential for them to agitate allergies and potentially cause human disease. To create as many varieties of rice as the IRRI have, they must take genes from a wide array of organisms; some of these may be allergenic. There is widespread worry that consuming food containing genes from the allergen will cause a reaction. However, the many the regulations placed on food make this extremely unlikely. Before any food is allowed to be marketed and sold, it must reach certain standards; these regulations transcend national borders and are set by the World Health Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. For a GM crop to be marketed, the inserted protein must be compared to all known allergens. So far, no allergens have been found in GM products approved for human consumption (Geneticallymodifiedfoods.co.uk, 2018).
Another worry is the risk of 'gene flow', in which the modified plants could pollinate non-modified plants to create hybrid offspring. For this phenomenon to affect the wild crops significantly, the trait that has been modified would need to be a desirable trait for survival in the wild, and this is not always the case (Nuffield Bioethics, 2018).
Although there are worries about genetically modified crops, the benefits far outweigh the risks. Scientists are already seeing the catastrophic effects of climate change while dealing with a rapidly growing population. Traditional agricultural methods and natural crops will one day no longer serve their purpose, but genetic engineering could be the lifeline humanity needs.

We've made it. It's Friday. Which means it's almost time to kickoff those boots and stick your toes in the ocean or your nose in a book-- whatever suits your weekend fancy will do.
It's time to slack.
But what about the work week slack? Is it possible to kick your feet up at your desk and STILL be incredibly productive. Perhaps they aren't as at odds as your might think. Here are the 7 magical ways to slack at work and still get shit done. Most employees are only productive four hours a day.
Call it failing upwards.
Or really, take any break. Chances are that 15 minutes you're legally allowed twice a day goes unused. You get busy, you get buried. It's common. But when you're working that hard your brain stops functioning at optimum output. So take a walk and grab a coffee. (Or bring water along for the jaunt, since dehydration during the workday can also lead to an kaput of creativity.)
Whatever you do, use it. Especially when you're feeling stuck.
Word to the wise: always bring a book to your office. Sure, powering down your computer and taking a break from responding to emails may feel out of the question, but here's an important one to ask yourself: when you've hit a slump is it better to stay stuck or read yourself out of it? Stand up. Give your spine a stretch and then crack the spine on a book. Seeing words come together in unexpected ways might be the jumpstart your brain needs. It's not work, but it will work for you.
We've all read about the benefits of meditating in the morning or before bed, but meditating in the office can bring clarity, calm your nerves before presentations, and de-stress high impact situations. Stress brings on emotions. Some of which are not beneficial to us in the work environment. Meditating at your desk (or in the storage closet) can help bring clarity and the right kind of emotions to your decision making. For instance, if you're about to blow your top at a co-worker, take a beat. Meditate. And come into the situation with a clear head. It might look like you're not doing a thing, but you're being incredibly productive for you and the company's well-being.
While we don't suggest scrolling through the IG during the work day, there are word games and brain games you can play to whip that brain into shape. You could opt for memory, attention, and problem solving apps like Luminosity, or try an app like Happify, that helps you build skills for lasting happiness. And being happy at work directly affects your productivity. So come on, get happy. Play a game or two.
Sometimes it feels like the busier you are, the better you're working. Untrue! You don't have to do multiple things at once in order to get things done. Slow down and work on one thing at a time. It might feel like you're slacking at first, but once you see how quickly you start ticking things off your list, you just might abandon the multi-tasking addiction.
We want to know… how do you do work slack? Share below!

Random picture from Atlanta
We had a lot of fun during our trip to Atlanta. Here's a few random shots of some of the things we did.
After we went to the Georgia Aquarium, we headed over to Centennial Olympic Park.
And Shelby got a chance to play her little heart out. She really is an outside kind of kid. If you give her a choice between doing something inside or jumping on her trampoline, she'll always pick the latter. Lately she's been begging to play in the rain (it's monsoon season in Tucson), and has even convinced me to let her a few times! She dances around in the rain with a pink umbrella ... pretty adorable.
It was pretty hot at the park, so after a little swing time we headed back to our hotel for a dip in the pool (another Shelby favorite). After the pool, Shelb was exhausted. So exhausted she made herself a little bed on the floor in the corner of the room ... and fell asleep (see picture below).

Drinking his first green smoothie!
Theresa is a GSG reader whose husband Juan works for me. Juan and I did a trade last year: he fixed my vinyl fence that my boys put a dozen holes in with their baseballs. I gave him and his cousin BlendTecs for their wives. Theresa sent me this email and photo recently:
"Ezra (7 ½ months old) drank his first green smoothie (spinach, banana, apple, carrots, frozen mango). He had a very rough day and had not smiled all day. I blended some smoothie up for the rest of us and decided to feed him some on a spoon. This smile was the result. We love green smoothies!"
You're a great mom, Theresa–and Ezra is ridiculously cute! I love these photos–they brighten my day and make me want to keep spreading my message.

adorable picture! Thanks for giving me a smile to start my day! Robyn, glad you are on the mend. Thanks for all you do and for this blog.
Won't it be wonderful when the day comes when all children this age are eating green smoothies! It will come if all of us take a lesson from Robyn and keep spreading the word on green smoothies and a whole foods lifestyle!
OMG. That's adorable. You must be so proud 🙂
Hey Robyn! I emailed a while back and didn't hear back from anyone but I was wondering if y'all would be willing to do a layaway plan for a Blendtec? I want one really bad but can't spend that much at one time. Could y'all do that? Glad your feeling better!

Vaser Liposuction, a relatively new treatment when it comes to body sculpting but surely an effective one. It allows an individual to get rid of 3 to 4 layers of subdermal fat in any area of the body. Yes, it works on everybody area including stomach, back, thighs, buttocks, and knees.
Vaser lipo in Dubai is performed under local anesthesia. The pulsed ultrasound technology efficiently liquefies and removes fat. Many individuals are opting for Vaser treatment instead of the traditional liposuction. Thanks to the non-invasive nature of the treatment. It is a far
procedure as compared to the traditional fat removal methods.
Now it doesn't mean that you won't experience any short-term side effects of the treatment. Swelling, redness and bruising are fairly common which will calm down after a couple of days. They are far less severe than traditional liposuction methods.
Well, you can immediately return back to work after Vaser liposuction in Dubai and elsewhere but to make your body heal completely, you need to follow certain steps. You will be required to wear a compression garment, 24/7 for a period of three days straight. Yes, you will have to eat and sleep with it. It will help with your swelling and will show quick results. Lymphatic drainage massage also helps immensely with the swelling but make sure to consult with your dermatologist first.
Well, it depends on a couple of things; the area to be treated, the expertise of the dermatologist and how well you adopt post-procedural care. However, most patients can see the complete transformation within a period of two weeks. Yes, two weeks is all it will take to help you achieve your dream body.
If you want to learn more about the procedure, want to get an exact quote or simply are looking for expert advice, fill in the form below. Our representatives will be more than happy to arrange a one on one, free and no obligatory consultation with you. Alternatively, you can use the option of LIVE CHAT.

In the heart of the United Arab Emirates, a few kilometers away from the big city of Abu Dhabi, the low-carbon city has been designed and conceived: Masdar City. Its name literally means "Source City," because the entire project was thought of as a "source" of alternative energy, allowing the city to fuel itself. The idea, launched in 2008, immediately captivated the entire world: a city in the middle of the desert, which has become the center of the most innovative technological principles of environmental sustainability. The global crisis has certainly led to the redefinition of the city's development model, in order to involve investors from third parties. This has led to delays in funding and deadlines. However, according to Yousef Baselaib, Executive Director of Sustainable Real Estate of Masdar City, the goal of making the project a sustainable development model is near: "In April, we announced the approval of the detailed Master Plan by the Urban Planning Council, which has paved the way for a major expansion. This will allow us to reaffirm our desire once again to provide a model of sustainable development of our cities now and in the future. Masdar City aspires to achieve the 4 Pearls Community rating of the 'Estidama' project and would be the first in the United Arab Emirates to so so."
What is the idea behind the Masdar City project?
Masdar City broke ground in 2008 to build a template, or "greenprint." for sustainable urban development and to promote an innovation hub in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Today, the city is growing as a thriving community and a genuine innovation ecosystem that has already made great strides in connecting education, R&D, technology and business opportunity. The city is a living demonstration of the potential of clean energy deployment, clean-tech innovation, sustainable urban development, and human capital creation. There is a wealth of clean energy pilot projects around the development; for example, in solar energy, electricity storage, biofuels, district cooling, and sustainable architecture. Masdar's approach to urban development is based on the three pillars of sustainability—social, economic, environmental—to attract investment and encourage entrepreneurship, improve quality of life, and limit the carbon footprint of our towns and cities. The innovation we have overseen is supporting the deployment of clean energy in the UAE, the region and overseas, and the realization of future projects and the commercialization of new technologies. Over the next five years, Masdar City's footprint will increase nearly fourfold as we develop its education facilities and apply research projects even further, enhance the services and infrastructure of its business and investment free zone, and continue to build new commercial and office space and residential communities.
Yousef Baselaib
He is Executive Director of Masdar's Sustainable Real Estate division and its flagship project Masdar City, a "greenprint" for the sustainable development of our future cities. He is responsible for driving the overall growth and direction of Masdar City's initiatives, and developing future opportunities in sustainable urban development in the MENA region and beyond.
What does the creation of a "zero emissions city" represent for an oil-producing country, which is also heavily dependent on hydrocarbons?
First of all, I should mention that Masdar City is 'low carbon' as opposed to "zero carbon." Minimizing the development's carbon footprint is an ongoing process. With each new building or phase of the development, we try to push the envelope further. Masdar City is designed to consume 40% less energy and water than built-up environments of a comparable size. Our vision remains "zero carbon." However, no zero-carbon urban development exists today. Although the UAE is seen as a country dependent on hydrocarbons, there is a strong rationale for building a sustainable city that can lead the drive towards the greater use of renewables and clean technology. We live in one of the harshest desert climates in the world, and keeping cool in the summer months is energy intensive. However, the UAE. is aware of its energy needs and its environmental impact. That's why we're doing something about it, as there are tangible benefits from investing in and generating renewable energy in the UAE. Diversifying the global energy mix is critical if we're to meet rising power demand, address energy security and build a sustainable future. It will help reduce our natural gas imports, diversify our energy sector and increase the security of our energy supply. Investing in renewable energy also supports Abu Dhabi's goal of transitioning from an economy based on exporting natural resources to one based on knowledge capital.
Renewable energy is part of the future, and the UAE is poised to maintain its leadership in the energy sector because we recognize the economic, social and environmental benefits of deploying sustainable forms of energy. Seeking additional secure sources of power also boosts our national energy security because oil and gas are commodities that are naturally subject to price variations due to the volatility of international markets. The use of oil as a fuel for power generation has decreased substantially in recent years. Today, it accounts for under 5% of the global electricity supply (down from 25% in 1973) and hence, a decrease in oil prices does not substantially alter renewable energy competitiveness within the power sector. In contrast, renewable energy costs are predictable and provide a hedge against this volatility, as they are based on technological development. That is one reason why more and more countries are investing increasingly in renewable energy.
In your opinion, how important is this project to the other Gulf countries, those currently struggling with ambitious programs in order to change their economic policy strategies?
Over the last decade, Masdar and Masdar City have grown from a bold idea into an innovative global brand at the center of clean energy and sustainable development. Masdar has led the adoption of technically and commercially viable renewable energy in the Gulf and the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) region. We are proud to have acted as a catalyst for our industry in the Arab world: the result is that Abu Dhabi is recognized today as a hub for sustainability and a global platform for policy debate and business opportunity. Clean Energy does not only embrace our capabilities as a developer and operator of renewables-based utilities. It also includes the emerging technologies and applied research that are bringing about the renewable energy and water solutions of the future as required by all of our Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) neighbors and further afield in the wider MENA region. Masdar will continue to perform a critical role in cultivating an environment where renewable energy is a viable and cost effective part of the energy-mix. Today, the MENA region is set to attract USD 35 billion worth of renewable energy investments every year by 2020 (Source: IRENA), with governments increasingly prepared to engage with the market to ensure success. We feel that Masdar has played a critical role in helping to make this happen.
What is the status of the Masdar City development and what is the financial impact of the project? Could you tell us how many companies are involved?
After the global economic downturn in 2008, Masdar City's development model was redefined to include third-party investors. Since Masdar City is no longer only self-developed, providing a meaningful estimate of costs and output is very difficult. Masdar City is a business unit of Masdar, which is a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company PDJC, an investment vehicle of the Government of Abu Dhabi. Only the self-developed parts of Masdar City are government funded. The rest will be managed through third-party investment and joint venture development which will be the majority of the overall investment, according to sustainability guidelines drawn up by Masdar City and the development objectives of the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council. In April, we announced the approval of the Urban Planning Council of the Detailed Master Plans for Phase 2 and Phase 5 of the City, paving the way for major expansion. This will allow us to further demonstrate our ambition to provide a template for the sustainable development of our cities now and in the future. Masdar City aspires to be a 4 Pearl Estidama Community, the first in the UAE. Around 35% of the planned built-up area will be completed over the next five years, and 30% has already been committed to, including private homes, schools, hotels and more office space. At present, more than 370 companies from six continents operate from Masdar City, from start-ups to multinationals, including the Middle East headquarters of Siemens, Lockheed Martin, GE, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Schneider Electric. The City also hosts the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the first intergovernmental organization to be located in the Middle East. The offices of Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) recently relocated to the City, bringing more than 700 full-time staff. A division of Etihad Airways has also just moved into the City, with the addition of a further 550 full-time staff.
Do you think that the project will have a positive effect on Emirates economy in term of growth? Do you have any estimate?
We believe that innovating and commercializing new renewables technologies will have a demonstrable impact on the local economy. Although Masdar is not solely responsible for meeting the UAE's clean energy targets, it is committed to working with the Abu Dhabi utility sector to ensure that it is met. The UAE aspires to meet 24% of its electricity needs from alternative energy sources by 2021. Our efforts to support the Abu Dhabi government include the delivering of 10 MW at Masdar City and the 100 MW Shams 1 solar power project inaugurated in 2013. These and other projects have already proved the viability of solar energy in the UAE. A Masdar-led consortium is also the selected bidder to develop the third phase of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, involving the development of an 800 MW photovoltaic array, the largest of its kind in the region. At Masdar, we understand that bringing about a sustainable future is not only about investment. It is also a mix of innovation, knowledge transfer, research & development, and awareness building. The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, the nucleus of Masdar City, is teaching and mentoring the next generation of leaders in renewable energy and clean-tech through its world-class curriculum. In addition, Masdar is the Middle East's largest exporter of renewable energy and has the potential to export our expertise in urban sustainable development to other parts of the UAE, the region and overseas.
What are the opportunities of the project in terms of innovation, especially for energy consumption and the possibility of reducing energy dependence from fuels?
Diversifying the global energy mix is critical if we're to meet rising electricity demands, address energy security and build a sustainable future. Renewable energy is part of the future, and the UAE is poised to maintain its leadership in the energy sector. In fact, we recognize the economic, social and environmental benefits to developing and deploying renewable energy. The world will continue to rely on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future—but balancing the energy mix and introducing cleaner forms of power is necessary to enhance our energy security and to promote sustainable development. Masdar City uses clean energy generated on site from rooftop solar panels and a 10 MW solar power plant supplying the national grid. The plant produces 17,500 MWh of clean electricity annually—enough to power more than 1,000 homes—and diverts 15,000 tons of carbon emissions per year. Pilot research projects located at Masdar City, many of them led by or closely involving Masdar Institute scientists and students, are accelerating the acquisition of scientific knowledge in the clean-tech industry and paving the way towards the development of real-world commercial applications.
Do you think that Masdar City project will be exported abroad in the future, i.e. to highly polluted areas such as Western and Asian cities?
Masdar has been a global flagship for Abu Dhabi and the UAE. We have achieved ten years of innovation, and this inspires us to set our sights even higher for the next ten. The design and innovation process applied at Masdar City to develop a city with a low carbon footprint could be applied in many other locations around the world. With more than half of the world's population (of 7.3 billion) already living in town and cities, and with the total population expected to reach 9 billion by 2030, Masdar is applying technologies and solutions aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of urban communities and providing a viable template, or "greenprint," to accommodate greater urban population density more sustainably. We hope to inspire and help others.

Well Expat, I was wondering what is the average salary in Grenada, that info kinda help me out. I do think that SOME Grenadians are living beyond their means. Most are always in fashion and carry two phones. Their vehicles are something else. They are very old and pay ah bunch for them.
What I have quickly come to realize is that most Grenadians do not have credit on their phones. Thank God for WhatsApp. BTW ah wonder how FLOW is dealing with WhatsApp? To fill up my rental is plus $200.00.
I honestly doh know how Grenadians are making it. I think their life's can be much easier, if they try to live within their means.
Every day you go to Sweet Traditions and ah forget the other one name, close to the Cruise ship terminal, those restaurant are full.

Which is why the food property education has to start in school - primary school level to teach better eating habits. So people are aware that when they see a bottle of something they can read the label and realize what is high fructose corn syrup and what is hydrogenated oil. How not to reuse/reheat oils already used because that is not good. How to not use all those food colors etc. We have a long way to go but there has to be a start somewhere. Each one teach one.
Funny, but there are radio segments that teach about super foods, and which foods are good for this and that.... I have learned from listening to them while driving to Town myself.
For the record a common weed/herb which exists in Grenada and the UK, and I must imagine in America is the plantain.... known in Grenada as Plantair.... God knows why they had to change the name, but they have.
It is good for so many things, it is well worth a little web search.
"For the record a common weed/herb which exists in Grenada and the UK, and I must imagine in America is the plantain.... known in Grenada as Plantair.... God knows why they had to change the name, but they have."
2 fallacies: plantain isn't a weed/herb, it's a banana cultivar, and I've never heard it referred to as a plantair, in Grenada or anywhere else. Clearly it's not you who does the shopping in your house!
But you know what's the magic fruit of the Caribbean: in fact I'll post it.

A mailer from Gainesville City Commission candidate Nathan Skop's campaign arrived late last week appearing as if it came from Gainesville Regional Utilities.
A mailer from Gainesville City Commission candidate Nathan Skop's campaign arrived in mailboxes late last week appearing — at least on one side — as if it came from Gainesville Regional Utilities.
With the GRU logo and the utility's P.O. box as a return address in the top-left corner, the mailers read "PUBLIC NOTICE" and "NOTICE TO ALL GAINESVILLE CITY RESIDENTS" in black letters above "NOTICE OF UTILITY RATE INCREASE" in red.
On the reverse, there is a photo of Skop, a candidate in Tuesday's runoff election for an at-large commission seat, as well as his statement about the city's 30-year biomass deal.
Skop's opponent, Lauren Poe, a former District 2 city commissioner, as well as Mayor Craig Lowe, who has endorsed Poe, quickly dismissed the tactic as "deceitful."
"In a campaign you're trying to present your views and stances, but to purposely try to mislead the voting public is the lowest level of politics," Poe said.
The Skop campaign called it a "parody" of the City Commission's own actions.
Stafford Jones, the chairman of the Alachua County Republican Party, which is supporting Skop's campaign and who is a registered Republican (Poe is a registered Democrat), said the mailers were clearly marked as paid political advertisements.
"The back side of the thing has Nathan Skop all over it," Jones said. "It so effectively demonstrates where they went wrong. That's what they're upset about."
In an email to The Sun, Skop wrote: "The city has admitted that there will be a rate increase from the biomass contract. The mail piece tells citizens about the rate increase. If GRU customers are upset about high electric bills now, just wait until the true rate increase kicks in."
It was unclear how many residents received the mailings.
GRU has said the average ratepayer, meaning one who uses 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month, will see their bills go up by $10.56 per month when the utility begins purchasing biomass power from a forthcoming plant.
Skop, a former commissioner on the Florida Public Service Commission, has said that GRU's figures are too low.
On the top of the reverse side of the mailing, it reads, "Lauren Poe's support of the Bio-Mass contract will cause GRU utility rates to skyrocket."
Poe was on the commission in 2009 when it unanimously approved the biomass contract.
As a member of the PSC, Skop was on the majority side of a 3-2 opinion to approve the 100-megawatt biomass plant that will sell power to GRU. That decision did not take into consideration any rate impacts, as the PSC does not regulate the rates of municipally-owned utilities.
Lowe said he wanted residents to know "this is not the city of Gainesville putting this out."

Exploring Mexico: A Puerto Vallarta Marriage Proposal
Hiring a Vacation Photographer to Capture the Question
We are kicking off our Mexico series with a beautiful proposal in Puerto Vallarta! Below are some of our favorite photos from this sweet beach proposal and we also have some great suggestions for other surprise marriage proposal spots in town.
Dwahnil contacted us to help plan and capture his proposal to Shama in Puerto Vallarta.
"I did not have a specific location in mind, but I knew I wanted to do it on a beach with a beautiful view and perhaps in a quieter area. Jhovany and Local Lens were a great help with choosing a location, and that location was perfect!"
Due to being on the west coast, the sunsets are stunning in Puerto Vallarta. Here are our top picks for the best sunset spots:
- Garza Blanca Beach
- La Palapa, a very popular proposal spot!
- Climb the steep steps up Calle Galeana and at the top you will have a great view of Puerto Vallarta
- The Malecon
- Vista Grill does have a great view, but photos here can be challenging if you plan on proposing here!

Going Clean with Skin and Personal Care!
By Georgia Tetlow, MD and Jill Maddock, PIM Office Manager
At PIM, our vision is to integrate the best of conventional and alternative medicine to inspire and give you the tools for your self-care. We support our patients in their natural ability to detoxify--including through their skin. Removing, or at least significantly reducing or avoiding toxins is a part of a Philadelphia Integrative Medicine plan. Whether it's choosing organic foods, responsibly raised meats, or wild caught fish--we and our patients strive to eat clean. So why not do the same for our skin? I'm sure we are all piling on the SPF these days, so let's dive in!
The skin is the largest human organ, with an impressive surface area--here's how to protect yourself….
What is the concern?
The personal care industry is, for the most part, unregulated. Companies are essentially free to do whatever they want without much government oversight. Many daily products are packed with toxic ingredients- known endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. According to the website "Goop", the last regulation on products was passed in 1938 and was a single page long!
What do you need to know?
Parabens, PCBs, phthalates, PEGs, synthetic fragrance, BHA, BHT and other chemicals are found in many commercial products. Ingredients like this can mimic hormones like estrogen, increasing gene expression that may ultimately lead to cell stimulation that is associated with cancer.

Our Story
The ministry of The Village Church did not begin as a church alone, but rather was birthed out of a vision of the director of the Lincoln Village Ministries. In the summer of 2006 the church building on Virginia Boulevard was purchased and several churches from the Huntsville/Madison community began to invest time, payer, and financial support for the growth of the church plant.
In the Spring of 2007 Alex Shipman came on board with the vision and agreed to pastor The Lincoln Village community. So in September 2008, an introductory service was held and a weekly Sunday evening Bible study began.
Less than a year later, the Bible study became evening services and on January 17th, 2010, the first Sunday morning service was held and a new chapter in the Lincoln Village story began.
The Village Church has become more than just a building for Sunday morning worship services. It is also the central gathering place for community events as well as a stationary refuge for people who live in the surrounding area.
By the grace of God, it will continue to be a place of hope, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11) by living out our vision to be and make the disciples who are committed to Jesus, Family, Service and Missions, and by fighting for our mission to be a visible expression of Christ by engaging our neighbors through word and deed, relating to our neighbors, spiritual, moral, social and economic conditions and restoring their spirit, dignity and hope.

His star is sky-high following their demolition of Real Madrid and restoring the club's fading gloss.
Paris St German have made it known they want him, while Madrid are whispering his name as they begin to pick up the pieces and slowly slip down the Spanish league.
Argentine Pochettino, who admits he would one day love to manage England, has no intention of jumping ship. "I would not change Tottenham for any other place in the world," he said.
He claims his relationship with the players fans and chairman Daniel Levy is so deep he doesn't even think of leaving White Hart Lane.
Pochettino said: "If you will read my book, you will understand that maybe I am not a current person in football whose motivation is only himself.
"My motivation is to work and to create something special at 45 years old – I love to work and feel part of the project and to share and to create something special.
"I cannot guess what happens in Real Madrid or Barcelona or at other clubs. I don't want to lie.
"Always, I want to be honest and I say: I don't think about tomorrow. I don't think about next season. Because it's doesn't depend only on me, it depends on many circumstances.
"And it's so important to be respectful and prudent and cautious and intelligent.
For me, the most important club in the world is Tottenham. And for me, it is the best club in the world. I need to feel like this.
"That emotion is real because I cannot be fake. I cannot translate that emotion to the players, I cannot translate that emotion to my chairman.
It's too difficult to create the trust if you don't really believe and it's not real, that emotion. And today, for me, Tottenham is in my head 100 per cent.
"Today, I do not change Tottenham for another position in the world because I am so involved, I am so focused and because I think the club deserves to have people that think only about the club, the fans, the players and the structures that provide us with an unbelievable life, because that is important to recognise, too.
"Amazing club, everything is amazing. And it's so important for us to pay back, no? To pay back the club in the same way that the club treat us.
"We can achieve so much here. That is my belief. That is why I fight a lot. Because I believe in this club, in the philosophy. I believe in Daniel (Levy) and I believe that we can build a fantastic team that can achieve all that we dream.
"Of course, I believe and I have faith in the club and in everything because I think Tottenham has a massive potential. Today, when you to Wembley to watch a game, 80,000 people, the people are so excited to get to the new stadium.
"The facilities are all nearly ready. All those things will help us achieve our dreams.
"It is not justthe stadium. It's more to enjoy the journey with Daniel. I speak everyday with Daniel and you feel how he cares about everything … the facilities, the stadium, it is impossible not to feel proud and to be excited about the future of Tottenham.
"For me, that is the key. It is not the facilities only – it is how Daniel is driving that project. A few weeks ago we were there at the new stadium – with Daniel and with the architect – you can feel that it is not only an empty structure, it the soul, the love – to care about every single detail. For me, that is what excites me the most."

Two Magical Days in Cinque Terre ~ Day One
October 10, 2014
So what exactly is a Cinque Terre anyway you say? Is it a bird, a plane, or how 'bout a little town somewhere in Italy? Close, but not quite. It's actually a region on the Italian Riviera that is a park as well as a Unesco World Heritage site. It consists of five separate towns each with its own distinct personality and dialect I am told, all connected by a series of hiking trails and one slow moving train.
Oh, and in case you've wondered, the correct way to pronounce it is Cheen Kway Ter Ray.
The five towns are Monterosso, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza, and Corniglia.
During our two magical days in Cinque Terre we made it to all but one, the later, and had an amazing time. Have you ever experienced feeling disappointed when you've heard so much about a place or perhaps a movie that it can't possibly live up to the image of it you've created in your mind when you actually get there?
Well, that was not what happened for us in Cinque Terre. It was better.
What I particularly loved about being in Cinque Terre beyond the obvious, is that it is uncomplicated in a surprisingly delicious way. There are no brand name stores and not a single museum in sight. There is nowhere you have to go and nothing you have to do. There aren't even any cars with the exception of Monterosso and you don't even need a map to find your way around.
In Cinque Terre it's all about enjoying the simple beauty of what life has to offer. Sunshine, beaches, fresh seafood and of course lots and lots of gelato.
We began our first day in the CT by heading straight to Monterosso, the largest and most resort like of the 5 towns. It has a lovely promenade perfect for strolling along and observing the sunbathers lining the beaches under the uniform striped beach umbrellas.
Hungry? Take your pick, the promenade is lined with cafes and restaurants mostly serving fresh seafood. After lunch you can stroll through town and enjoy the local color and little shops which is just what we did. The streets are less hilly than the rest of the CT so it's a great place for an after lunch stroll.
Check it out ….
We spent the second half of our day in the town of Riomaggiore which is just a short train ride away. There is one main street heading up through the middle of town amongst the colorfully stacked homes but for me, the real magic began when we headed up one of the little stairways winding through the houses headed we didn't know where. I enjoyed every step even though my knee didn't, and we eventually met up with the hiking trail that runs high above the little towns connecting one to the other.
All I can say is that the views are unbelievable and are not to be missed. It is worth every step. On this part of the trail you will see (in addition to the views) and an old Nazi bunker which you can see in the top of the photo below.
As you move along the trail you come to a small Church and an interesting character named Andrea Raffellini , as he will be quick to tell you if you take the time to talk with him. Apparently he spends his days sitting in front of the Church studying Romanesque architecture and talking with the passersby. He bottles wine in a small room just below the Church and tends to a small lemon grove both of which he will gladly show you if you let him.
For me, this is what travel is really all about. Putting down the guide book and letting your intuition guide you, taking your time and perhaps chatting with one of the locals if the opportunity presents itself. Slowing down enough to hear their story and perhaps making their day a bit brighter because you did. Instantly the world becomes just a little smaller and I am infinitely more connected to it.
Here is one of the photos of Andrea as well as a few of my favorites from beautiful Riomaggiore.
Until next week and day 2 .... Saving the Best for Last!
XOXO, from me and lu

Thailand Travel Guide
We started planning our trip knowing 2 things: We wanted to relax but also see the culture of Thailand. When we travel we are definitely not the type of people who want to stay in the overly crowded tourist areas, surrounded by western cultures like McDdonalds, Starbucks and people the same as us everywhere. That just never feels like another country to us! We like to stay in more laid back areas, a little off the beaten path, while still having the comforts of home when we come back to our hotel at night…
Los Angeles Travel Guide
So..my all time FAVORITE place in the United States is hands down California. I love Los Angeles (specifically the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area) and would live there in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the traffic and cost of living. So just a dream…but traveling there is seriously my happy place! I've been to LA several times and I honestly think that city was made for just me.
Fredericksburg Texas Travel Guide
Hey y'all! We just got back from another fun weekend in Fredericksburg! I love going to Fredericksburg for a quick weekend getaway from Austin because it is always so relaxing and easy to get to! If you haven't been to Fredericksburg in a while it is really growing like crazy! There are so many wineries, cute vacation rentals, and restaurants! I get so many questions about where we like to go, where we stay and what we do there! So I wanted to share our recommendations with you guys here!
San Diego Travel Guide
San Diego is one of my favorite places in California! It will also always hold a special place in my heart because its where Eric and I got engaged! So, I wanted to share my San Diego Travel Guide with you guys! On this trip we rented a convertible and drove up the coast to LA after visiting San Diego for a few days! It was so fun!
New Orleans Travel Guide
New Orleans is one of my favorite cities! I've been 3 times now and it just gets better every time. I love the old, southern charm and the food is to DIE for. I feel like it gets a bad rep because of the infamous (dirty) Bourbon Street...but thats just because you need to get OFF Bourbon! Okay, go to a couple bars to say you did it if it's your first time and then follow this guide for all the best restaurants, bars, and things to do!
Tulum, Mexico Travel Guide
Hey guys! I'm SO excited to share my amazing experience in Tulum with y'all! If you haven't heard of or been to Tulum I highly recommend this beautiful jungle, beach escape for your next vacation. I'll be sharing some essentials that I brought, where we ate, my favorite beach clubs, where to take the best photos, what to wear, how to deal with your beach hair and what to do while you're there!
Boston Travel Guide
I was recently selected out of only two stylists in Austin to go to Boston for an exclusive Living Proof Class at their very own Style Lab. I got the chance to go behind the scenes to their actual science lab to see how they make the products, learned special details about each product from the living proof line, a couple trendy updos, and how to do Gisele Bundchens beachy, textured haircut. I'll touch on some interesting facts and show you some behind the scenes footage from their Science Lab!

https://mccoysupholstery.com/75308-flonase-price-walmart.html spearhead Sooner or later, it hits almost every renter: the pain of dealing with a landlord, or seeing your monthly payments vanish, or realizing you don't have control over your living space. Sound familiar? It might be time to start thinking about buying a home of your own.
surpass http://www.skilescreative.com/85024-benzac-price.html I can't and won't tell you that buying a house is the best choice for you. (It's not for everyone.) If you already know the benefits of buying a home, and just aren't sure where to begin, you're at the right place! Feel free to give a call or send me an email and I can get you pointed in the right direction.
http://baker-miller.com/?p=941 But there are a few common myths or misunderstandings that stop people who should buy a house from doing so. That is why I've developed this ten part series to address these concerns and to help YOU decide if the time is right to go from being a renter to homeowner. We'll cover such topics as financing, different loan programs, credit issues, and down payment requirements. I'll also introduce you to some other great professionals who are part of the home buying team as well as some home ownership programs you may not even heard of!
http://joedubey.com/wp-login.php?registration=disabled If you're not quite sure buying a house makes any sense for you I ask you to follow along with this series. It just may change how you think and feel about buying a house.

Peter spent much of today with no diaper. Since most of our house is carpeted, I spent much of today trying to entertain him while keeping him on a towel. Neither of us was thrilled about this arrangement.
Saturday morning, we noticed that he had a little diaper rash. By Sunday morning, it was so bad that he was bleeding a little. Poor little boy! The only new food introduced was oatmeal, which seems an unlikely culprit, although possible. My best guess is that he soiled his diaper just as we put him to bed for the night and being in a messy diaper overnight aggravated what would have been a minor case of diaper rash.
We went out and bought some organic diaper cream and some 6-ply (pretty thin) prefolds. When he must have a diaper on, I am using a prefold in our SoftBum covers, to avoid getting diaper cream on our regular diapers. When possible, I'm letting him go diaper-free, hoping that this will help the healing process. Thankfully, it got up to 65 today, which is the temperature at which we keep our thermostat anyway. Peter and I took advantage of this to spend a little time outside. Much better than trying to keep him in one place when he wants to work on crawling. Besides, I got some cute pictures. :-)

I heard this "song" on Desert Island discs last week and I thought it was incredible. It is by a 12 year old Mongolian girl and is known as throat singing. See what you think.
One thought on "Not for the faint hearted. Veronika Oucholin's "I Light The Fire.""
I was intrigued when I first heard it and I still am. I have played it for several people who think I am around the twist.

Kline Baptist Church — Kline, South Carolina
SC Picture Project | Barnwell County | Kline Baptist Church
Located in Barnwell County, the Town of Kline was established in 1872 and chartered in 1904. Kline Baptist Church was organized in 1897. The community arose from the development of a rail line here the same year the church was founded by Colonel Mike Brown. The Carolina Midalnd Railway was formed in 1891 when the Barnwell Railroad, owned by the South Carolina Railroad Company, consolidated with the Perry-to-Blackville line, which eventually extended services from Barnwell to Allendale. Brown served as an officer of the Carolina Midland Railway and is also responsible for the name of Kline, which he chose in honor of his wife, Jennie Kline of Philadelphia.

Best of 2013
The Un-Herd Music Top 30 of 2013
30 songs chockful of everything these guys can think of, which amounts to a glorious sprawl of punk rock, Stones licks, pianos, horns, hooks and gutter wisdom.
An unlikely mix of Southern blooze rock, indie rock, and 70s UK glam rock, somehow pieced together in a way that makes complete sense.
Takes their soul/R&B/rock&roll impulses and polishes it to a sheen that illuminates the hooks, often sounding like what Elvis Costello aimed at on Get Happy!, but incorporating a stronger hardcore edge (as well as nabbing quotes from Little Richard).
Zachary James and the All Seeing Eyes have reanimated the corpse of Ziggy Stardust and dragged it into the new millennium,with lyrics of sci-fi romance and more musical nods to T.Rex than Bowie (and more to the Stones than either).
Rocks hard enough to frighten away most Americana fans, but Todd's also capable of simmering it all down to a quiet fury, which seems to quest after transcendence with equal parts pessimism and romance like a secular, faithless Van Morrison.
This is expansive guitar pop, pulling a major influence from the Strokes debut even while summoning comparisons to artists like Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, and Paul Simon.
Although the Connection plow the same field the Ramones already dug (albeit with an even stronger influence from the 50s rock & roll source) they miraculously have that same Joey Ramone gift for melody that prevents them from falling into mere revivalism.
Steamrollers out of the gate like some unholy mutant cross between ACDC and James Brown, and then picks up intensity from there. It's a violent maelstrom of sound that might just reclaim 50 years of music to its rightful originators.
Enlists help from fellow ex and future Flamin' Groovies Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney and creates an album that miraculously combines Shake Some Action with Teenage Head.
There's enough of a major artist guest list to interest something close to the mainstream, but it's the 2nd tier indie royalty that really pushes this over the top.

Three patients undergoing prolonged total parenteral nutrition at home developed skin lesions, characterized by dryness and scaly appearance, initially confined to the folds but becoming subsequently generalized. Fatty acid measurements in plasma of these patients showed a markedly abnormal lipid pattern: accumulation of 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid (20:3ω) and a high 20:3ω9-to-20:4ω6 ratio. When parenteral fat (Intralipid®) was administered, 500 ml/day, serial measurements of fatty acids showed a progressive normalization of the abnormal pattern and a dramatic improvement in the skin lesions. It appears that the daily requirement for linoleic acid in the adult, particularly during the period of rapid anabolism, has not been clearly established. Because more and more patients are becoming partly or totally dependent on parenteral nutrition for prolonged periods of time, the availability of parenteral fat preparations is urgently needed.
