BMC polls ahead: Fadnavis, Uddhav put up united front
Fadnavis and Thackeray put up a picture of unity as they inaugurated the Rs2,887-crore tunnel running between Gundavali in Thane and Bhandup water complexmumbai Updated: Dec 02, 2016 00:13 IST
After months of constant bickering, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis from the BJP and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray showed great camaraderie at a civic event in Bhandup, fuelling speculations that the two warring allies are considering a tie-up for the crucial Mumbai civic polls.
While there were doubts over the party's stand, Fadnavis and Thackeray put up a picture of unity as they inaugurated the Rs2,887-crore tunnel running between Gundavali in Thane and Bhandup water complex.
Thackeray requested Fadnavis to fast-track the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) projects, which have been stuck at the state-government- or central-government-level, and Fadnavis promptly agreed for a review meeting. Both the leaders also spoke about their alliances' emphasis on development and Mumbaiites' faith in their 20-year partnership, months before the city goes to polls in February 2017. "The people of Mumbai will always support the alliance," Thackeray said.
This was in sharp contrast to what has been happening in the past few days. Thackeray has been criticising the Centre's demonetisation move and his party MPs even participated in protests organised by West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. The BJP reacted bitterly to the friendly fire by its alliance partner. The two parties had forged an alliance for elections to 147 civic bodies governing small cities, but on the ground the alliance did not work in most cities because the party workers were not keen to work together. The BJP also got a boost earlier this week, when it climbed to the number one spot after the results of these civic polls were declared. However, a day later, the BJP maintained it was willing to work out an alliance with the Sena for the Mumbai civic polls.
Seated next to each other on a floor filled with Sena and BJP leaders, both Thackeray and Fadnavis were seen exchanging pleasantries. On Monday, too, the two leaders inaugurated the revamped disaster management department at the BMC headquarters.
Talking about the delay in BMC projects, Thackeray cited the Middle Vaitarna project, which he said was stuck because of pending approvals from the central government for 10 years. "Despite that, the BMC completed the project in three-and-a-half years. Yet, the public works department's (under the state government) work of re-constructing a bridge delayed the project by another one-and-a-half years. I request the chief minister to call the mayor and municipal commissioner for a meeting and clear all the pending BMC projects. The BMC does not wait for praises, it has the wherewithal to develop the city."
The BMC is working on big-ticket projects such as the Gargai, Pinjal dams, the Damanganga river interlinking project, the Goregaon-Mulund link road and the ambitious coastal road connecting the island city and the western suburbs, where it requires clearances from the state and the Centre.
Fadnavis, in his reply, not only agreed to hold a review meeting, but also took a jibe at Opposition parties Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) — who were alliance partners in the previous government. Fadnavis said, "In the past 10-15 years, urban infrastructure has remained on paper. It is only after the new government came to power that we are talking about urban development. A delay of 10 years is not only surprising, but also wrong. Now, there is coordination between the Centre, state and the civic body and that is reflecting on the ground."
The in-fighting between the two parties had cropped many doubts about a continuity in their alliance for the 2017 elections. Be it at the civic body or the State level, the parties had many differences in the past couple of years. However, the leaders seem to be brushing aside the differences for the upcoming polls. While a section in the BJP still wants to go solo, there is thinking in the party top brass in the state that the two parties should try to work out an alliance to avoid surprises in the civic polls. They are also wary of the changed circumstances post-demonetisation and hence want to be cautious. Although the BJP has emerged on in the first phase of civic polls, the Congress has come second and the electoral equations may change if desperate Congress and NCP join hands for the next phases of local elections.
Meanwhile, Fadnavis criticised the NCP by referring to violence in the party's recent meet. "I will definitely take heed of what Uddhavji has said [about pending projects] and set up a meeting. People know which parties are talking about development and those indulging in violence." On Tuesday, a scuffle broke out between two factions of the NCP with allegations of firing in the incident.

Elle and Ryan's Indie Floral Inspired Backyard Wedding
When I think back to Elle and Ryan's Nashville wedding last fall, I remember that my face hurt from smiling when I left that night. As I put together their wedding images to make up the story below, I couldn't stop thinking "This was one of the most fun weddings I've been a part of" and again, realized my cheeks hurt because I couldn't stop smiling. I think you'll see why.
Together, Ryan and Elle are magic. They have a magnetic chemistry that draws people to them and one of my favorite things about them is that they're fully themselves, all the time. Everything about their wedding was beautifully minimal but incredible indie wedding inspiration in the art of doing your own thing, and doing it so well. Elle wore this embroidered floral printed dress for her ceremony that I swooned over, and Ryan had a bright pink suit coat that together, fit them perfectly.
And so many moments. Their wedding was about their loved ones, about their family - it wasn't about the details or the weather or having the most perfect day - it was about gathering everyone they knew and loved from near and far and celebrating the start of their marriage. I think back to their weekend on a Friday in Tennessee fall and I remember Elle's mom and bridesmaids tearing up when they saw her in her floral wedding dress for the first time. I remember Ryan barely being able to keep it together when he saw his bride at their first look. I remember tears in their ceremony and so much sweet intimacy in their portraits. Elle weeping during her brother's toast at their reception and Ryan tenderly kissing her shoulder. Their reception was a dream - incredible Mexican food, a Jeni's ice cream truck and just a party of dancing and toasting and more dancing until the sky grew blue and then dark.
If I could plan my wedding again, I'd want it to feel like theirs - heartfelt, with all of the moments. Here's to you two Roses - you are an inspiration.

@FunctionalInterface public interface Mapper
Mapper object is used in a MapReduce job (see
RDFProcessors.mapReduce(Mapper, Reducer, boolean)) for mapping a statement to zero or
Value keys; statements are then grouped by key and each partition is processed in
a reduce job (see
Reducer) to produce the final output statements. Mapping is done by
map(Statement). It can return zero keys to drop the statement, or a key array
BYPASS_KEY to force the statement to be directly emitted in output,
bypassing the reduce stage.
A common type of
Mapper is the one extracting a component or hashing a subset of
components of the input statement. This mapper is already implemented and can be instantiated
using the factory method
Implementations of this interface should be thread-safe, as method
map() is meant to be
invoked concurrently by different threads on different statements.
|Modifier and Type
|Field and Description
static org.openrdf.model.URI
Special key used to bypass the reduce stage and directly emit the statement in output.
|Modifier and Type
|Method and Description
static Mapper
bypass(Mapper mapper,
Predicate<org.openrdf.model.Statement> predicate)
Returns a bypassed version of the input mapper that skips and marks with
BYPASS_KEY quads matching the specified predicate.
static Mapper
concat(Mapper... mappers)
Returns a
Mapper returning a concatenation of all the keys produced by the
Mappers supplied for the input statement.
static Mapper
filter(Mapper mapper,
Predicate<org.openrdf.model.Statement> predicate)
Returns a filtered version of the input mapper that only maps quads matching the supplied predicate.
map(org.openrdf.model.Statement statement)
Maps a statement to zero or more
Value keys.
static Mapper
parse(String expression)
Parses a
Mapper out of the supplied expression string.
static Mapper
select(String components)
Returns a
Mapper returning a single key based on one or more selected components of
the input statement.
static final org.openrdf.model.URI BYPASS_KEY
org.openrdf.model.Value[] map(org.openrdf.model.Statement statement) throws org.openrdf.rio.RDFHandlerException
Value keys. When used in a MapReduce job,
returning zero keys has the effect of dropping the statements, otherwise the statement will
be put in each key partition, each one being later processed in a reduce job (see
Reducer); if one of the keys is
BYPASS_KEY, then the statement will be
(also) directly emitted in output, bypassing the reduce stage (this can be used to apply
the MapReduce paradigm to only a subset of statements). Null keys are admissible in output
(e.g., to denote the default context).
statement - the statement to map, not null
Value keys associated to the statement, not null
org.openrdf.rio.RDFHandlerException - on error
static Mapper bypass(Mapper mapper, @Nullable Predicate<org.openrdf.model.Statement> predicate)
BYPASS_KEY quads matching the specified predicate.
mapper - the mapper to filter
predicate - the predicate; if null, no bypassing is performed
static Mapper filter(Mapper mapper, @Nullable Predicate<org.openrdf.model.Statement> predicate)
mapper - the mapper to filter
predicate - the predicate; if null, no filtering is performed
static Mapper concat(Mapper... mappers)
Mapper returning a concatenation of all the keys produced by the
Mappers supplied for the input statement. Duplicate keys for the same statement are
mappers - the mappers whose output has to be concatenated
static Mapper select(String components)
Mapper returning a single key based on one or more selected components of
the input statement. Parameter
components is a
s ,
c string specifying which components should be selected. If a single component is
selected it is returned as the key unchanged. If multiple components are selected, they are
merged and hashed to produce the returned key. In any case, exactly one key is returned for
each input statement.
components - a string of symbols
s ,
c specifying which
components to select, not null nor empty
@Nullable static Mapper parse(@Nullable String expression)
Mapper out of the supplied expression string. The expression can be a
language: expression script or a component expression supported by
expression - the expression to parse

Join us for a reading of a selection of my Memory Poems, celebrating the stories gifted in conversation with people living with Early Stage Alzheimer's and their carers. And join the conversation! Have just started working with Westminster Arts in a new Memory Cafe in Hammersmith. Here's a new poem, inspired by the participants' chat over tea and cake as they painted pots and planted seeds.
The Painting of Pots
She paints her pot a vibrant purple and blue
freely, yet tempered
by design.
A Rothco from the fabric of Africa.
Today was a storm in a teapot.
The husband she cares for
at home,
once a tv and radio mechanic,
can no longer put the tv on.
It's a big patience
she says,
indicating Kahn's fancy china cup
from Peckham.
If he says teapot
and she says teacup
the problems start.
So now she says teapot.
She came by sea in the seventies,
hot from Sierra Leone,
used an afro wig, platforms and flares
and met him through her brother,
who didn't like the idea,
them both coming from different backgrounds.
But who listens to their brother?
The days of autocratic men are quickly going,
says the man from Grenada,
Round the table the women laugh.
She calmly paints,
precise strokes that allow the pattern to emerge,
a blue eye leaps from the royal purple
like a spot on the surface of Jupiter.
It's a big patience.

Car Covers are must-haves
WeatherShield car covers, uses the patented EPIC by Nextec encapsulation process, originally developed for high performance outdoor sports-wear. This encapsulation process places an ultra-thin film around the fabric fibers and precisely places a durable, breathable barrier within the woven polyester fabric to complete the high performance finish process. Unlike traditional coatings and lamination that just protect one side of the fabric, Nextec uses up to 40 computerized process controls to place protective polymers inside the fabric, to shed water, dust, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial pollutants.
Car covers is a must have for a caring car owner. Even if you are sure your car is comfortable in your garage to store, extra protection surely wouldn't hurt. It's not every time your car is in the garage, it could be exposed in the sun and other elements that might cause a little bit of damage to the car every day.
Car covers provide sufficient protection from atmospheric elements and it gives extra benefits that will surely be worth it.
I came across this site that sells different car covers, CARiD, they have almost every cover for every car model in different colors. The evolution of the company was always customer focused and quality driven. With Covercraft, car covers and interior protection are no longer boring.

It is easier than you thought to create co-empowerment in our power-play culture.
You have more control over how people treat you than you may think. If you have encountered difficult people in your life (and who hasn't?), you may feel that you have little to no power over the situation.
It is true that you cannot change these difficult people and the way they view the world. It is also true, and very important to understand, that you are not responsible for these people or their hurtful behaviors. However, you can influence the behavior of others so that they treat you more respectfully. You can have far more influence than common wisdom would suggest.
Mastering this influence puts you in a position to free yourself from the entanglement with controlling, abusive people while finding more enlightened interactions. Your powerful mindset will bring you more jobs, friendships and partnerships with people who treat you civilly.
What you say and consciously think is not what determines how people treat you. If you have learned assertiveness techniques, you may have discovered that they do not work well with truly abusive people. These techniques are largely a form of verbal communication. While they are valuable, people close to you respond to much more than your verbal communications.
It is the state of your whole mind. Your whole mind includes the unconscious mind, your body and your feelings, which most affects how much of your power you can access and maintain in relationships. If you have practiced traditional martial arts or mindfulness mediation for a while, you will have experienced your power and seen how others react to it.
Unfortunately, if you have spent time with a workplace bully or verbally abusive partner, you may find it very difficult to experience this power. My research suggests that bullying in the workplace is very, very common and that over half of all females have experienced abusive control in domestic relationships.
There are simple techniques you can use to make a powerful state of mind instantly accessible. Practicing these can give you a measure of emotional freedom you may not have experienced for some time.
This is the 21st century! It is no longer acceptable to be overpowered in close relationships. As more of us choose enlightened interactions, collaborating and being co-empowered, the easier it will be for everyone to enjoy civility and respect.

Environmental Site Assessment
How do you ensure that the property you're planning to transact on is compliant with the current
regulations? How do you stay abreast in a fast changing environment, where change is the only constant? The changing nature of our world means that everyone now needs to be increasingly regulatory conscious and compliant.
At EcoVision, it's our business to be risk and regulations aware. Our analysis capabilities ensure that the report we prepare on the property is really thorough, so you know what you're getting into. Being a knowledge centric organization, we are always ahead of the game when it comes to new regulatory regimes, awareness of liabilities, increased awareness of the risks associated with contaminated sites and the overall attitude towards a cleaner environment.
Assessing the environmental risk prior to property transactions is now commonplace in our liability-conscious society, and in many cases, regulatory changes have deemed it mandatory. It's something that we do really well.
Conducting a site assessment when buying / selling a piece of real estate will give you the information you need to make an informed decision about property value and potential liability. What's more, having it done at the very beginning is the first investment you can make in your property, as a proper assessment gives you the true picture about the property you're buying, and quality properties automatically increase in value.

Quick and proper action can save lives!
Here are some Basic First Aid Techniques. However, before you perform any of these techniques, please be reminded of the following:
• Make sure that you are not in any immediate physical danger from speeding traffic, falling debris, fire or other hazardous situations.
• Consider enrolling in a First Aid workshop to learn the proper way of doing basic First Aid Techniques. The techniques mentioned henceforth are not meant as substitutes for certified First Aid classes.
• Know what technique to apply in different situations. A victim's condition may be aggravated by giving the wrong treatment.
Airway: Clear the airway by carefully placing the person on his back. Then open the mouth by gently tilting the head back. Remove any blockage of the airway such as secretions or foreign objects. If you suspect a head, neck or back injury, pull the jaw forward but avoid moving the head or neck.
Breathing: Check for signs of breathing by putting your ear close to the person's nose and mouth, or by feeling for breath using your own hands for 5 seconds. Look for chest movement. If victim is not breathing, do Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation.
Circulation: Check victim's pulse. Put two fingers at his wrist or just below the angle of the jaw. If there is no pulse coming from the victim, do CPR (if you have proper training).
CPR is a life-support technique used when a victim is not breathing or has no pulse. Formal training is necessary for proper administration of CPR. However, in case of medical emergencies where a trained person is not around and the victim's life depends on immediate administration of CPR, you may have to administer it yourself. To perform this technique, follow these steps:
Step 1: Carefully lay the person on his back and kneel beside him.
Step 2: Place two fingers (index & middle fingers) at the point where the lower ribs join the breastbone.
Step 3: Place the base of your other hand directly over the base of the hand already in place.
Step 4: Lean over and firmly press your hands down about 2 inches and quickly release. Aim to provide a total of 80 to100 compressions per minute. You may want to count aloud to establish a rhythm, "One and two and three and…"
Step 5: After providing 15 compressions, Give Mouth- to-Mouth Resuscitation twice. Repeat this sequence four times. Then check for breathing and pulse.
Step 6: Continue with Steps 4 & 5 until you feel signs of breathing and pulse or when medical assistance arrives.
Notes: If the victim is an infant, use only two fingers. Provide at least 100 compressions per minute, with five compressions to one breath. If the victim is a child, use only 1 hand. Provide at least 100 compressions per minute, with five compressions to one breath.
The Heimlich Manuever is usually done when a choking accident happens to conscious adults or children, but not infants. This technique helps to dislodge the foreign object from a victim's throat. To perform this technique, follow these steps:
Step 1: Stand behind the victim and place one of your feet between his feet.
Step 2: Wrap your arms around the victim's waist. One hand should be clenched into a fist with thumb facing down, covered by the other hand and placed above the victim's belly button.
Step 3: Firmly pull inward and up with a forceful jerking movement. Continue this until the victim coughs up the object or when medical assistance arrives.
Note: If the victim is not responsive, do the First Aid ABC Check. If the victim is pregnant, get special instructions from a medical assistance hotline.
Effective for introducing air into a victim's lungs, Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation is applied when a victim has stopped breathing but still has a pulse. To perform this technique, follow these steps:
Step 1: Carefully lay the victim on his back and loosen shirt at the neck area.
Step 2: Open victim's mouth and insert your finger in a swooping manner to remove any secretion or foreign objects that may block the airway.
Step 3: Put your hand on his forehead and gently tilt his head back.
Step 4: Pinch the person's nostrils closed, take a deep breath and give two breaths into his mouth. The chest should rise as the air goes into his lungs.
Step 5: Wait until victim's chest falls, then repeat Step 4. Do it 4 times in quick succession. Continue Mouth-to-Mouth until the victim starts breathing or medical assistance arrives.
Note: If victim is an infant or a child, do not pinch his nose. Instead, cover your mouth over his nose and mouth at the same time. Do not breathe as hard as you would for an adult. This technique is known as Mouth-to-Nose Resuscitation.

Today's REI Classroom Lesson
From the hospitality and leisure market to the fact that it's an election year, Steve Rozenberg talks to us about factors we can look at to predict the strength of the housing market for 2016.
REI Classroom Summary
When you look at the statistics and trends from 2015, it's looking optimistic for the housing trend over the next year, as Steve elaborates on.
Listen to this REI Classroom Lesson
Real Estate Investing Classroom Show Transcripts:
Mike: Welcome back to the FlipNerd.com REI Classroom, where experts from across the real estate investing industry teach you quick lessons to take your business to the next level. And now, let's meet today's expert host.
Steve: Hi, everybody. This is Steve Rosenberg. I am the co-founder of Empire Industries Property Management company. We are located in Houston, Texas. We manage roughly about 500 properties all across the Houston area. Today, what we're going to talk about is a lot of people are curious about the economy in 2016 nationally, and what our opinions are, and what we think is going to happen.
Mike: This REI Classroom real estate lesson is sponsored by UglyOpportunities.com.
Steve: We have some good data. My opinion is is the information that people find out, the factual numbers can tell you a story, how you derive that information and what your perception of those numbers are, probably has to do with your experience level and things that you have done in the past that may reflect what you're thinking.
One of the first indicators I would say is you want to look at the hospitality and leisure market. That is normally, the indicator of the economy. Last year, the hospitality and leisure market was up 2.92% over 12 months. That is a good indicator that things are still trending in a growing condition, because if people were out shopping and they're vacationing and they're going to hotels, that means that they're going to keep spending money. They're not going to fall off of a cliff.
In the U.S. last year, the U.S. jobs were up 1.88%. That was 2.65 million jobs in 2015. That is expected to continue. Obviously, that type of job could change, depending on the economy, depending on oil, depending on a lot of things. But the good thing is that the jobs are going to keep trending in the right direction.
Right now, there are more jobs ever in history. Despite what some people may think, there actually are a lot of jobs, and anybody can get a job, if they really wanted one. The nice thing is if people want to work, they can work, and that's what's going to keep driving the economy.
The U.S. household income, which is very interesting, that was up 0.93%. The average income for households in the U.S. was about $53,000 in 2015. The median home price was $206,000. Like I said, that went up 0.93%, and you want that to go up slowly. You don't want to see these big spikes, like you saw in 2007, 2004, 2005, because that means it's unobtainable.
Some of the things that you want to consider for 2016, I wouldn't say go gung-ho, you want to look at some things, meaning it's an election year. That obviously is going to have some people rolling back just a little bit, and being a little conservative, to see which party will be elected.
Because of that, there's going to be Government Subsidized Enterprise or GSE. Those are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the future of a lot of those programs will depend largely on who's elected. You may want to buy houses now, or not want to buy houses now, depending on what you think and what your perception is of the party that may take over the White House, could do good or bad, as far as the GSEs.
I think you're going to see a lot more government regulations, as far as governing people. I think my opinion is if you're going to buy, this will be the time to start doing your homework and start looking at in finding deals, because the deals are there, I think it just depends on your perception and what you consider a deal. Again, this is Steve Rosenberg with Empire Industries. Thank you very much.

234 miles, 3 bands, 1 pizza.
I know that that sounds like the start to a dodgy sit-com but what I'm actually describing is my night last Saturday. What was the reason for this merry jaunt and consuming of fast food I hear you cry! Well ladies and gentlemen Lock Up Laura were launching their brand new album Masquerade at the Engine Shed in Lincoln and I've never missed an opportunity to party in my life so needless to say I was there like a shot.
The gig was awesome; main support act Theia absolutely smashed it and Lock Up Laura complete with shiny jacket and mic stand combo tore what was remaining of the house down. One of the main reasons for that is the fact that said new album is a certified cracker.
There are a tonne of reasons why I'm a big fan of this record but the main one is its sheer range coupled with an incredible balance. Pretty much every style of rock song which you can dream up is on there. You want a thundering hard rock track? Yeah it's got one of those. You want a ballad? Tick. You want a live anthem. Tick again. Mid-tempo tune to sing along to? Yep, it's got one of those too. Masquerade is one of the most compete albums that I have heard for a minute.
The intro builds the tension and anticipation with a mixture of gentle piano, soaring strings and crunching riffs. This isn't just an intro; this is statement saying that this record is going to be an epic experience. Then just as you start to fall back into this comforting blanket of grandeur the opening strains of lead single The Jury's Out come crashing over the horizon and hit you straight between the eyes. I really liked the track when i reviewed it a couple of weeks ago and it certainly hasn't lost any of its impact.
Broken Man is more of the same just this time with a brilliantly strong hook and piston like drum beat which leads up to the finale which giving the track that extra kick. I wasn't completely sold on this one when I first heard it but by listens 3 and 4 it had really grown on me. The pace then drops considerably with the arrival of Walk Away and its sweeping string section. With everything slowed right down and the guitars and drums scaled back the strong, emotive vocal from Lee McCuster really comes to the fore for the first time and undoubtedly delivers.
Title track Masquerade is another slow one but it's a real epic. The verses are again pretty stripped back but the chorus crunches in with a beautiful ferocity which really gives the track that massive feel. It's at moments like this that I feel that the band are at their best, and in my opinion this is the best track on the album. If you want to know why so many people including me rate this band so highly then listen to this track. Aaron Hall's lead guitar soars higher than the Empire State, the rhythm section of Buckthorp, Giles and Mahfouz is ridiculously tight and on point and as I mentioned above the vocal is absolutely spot on.
Natalie's Song (Named after a fan) sees the pace quicken back up once more as the badass riffs and attitude return. After a track as huge and weighty as Masquerade something like this is always needed to almost hit the reset button so the listener can go again, and the punchiness of this track will certainly get your attention. That attention is retained by the sprawling End Of Act One which starts off at a crawl before turning into a grandiose swirl a mega guitars and vocals tailor made for the end sequence of a movie where someone is about to die a noble and heroic death.
The ebb and flow continues with the powerful crunching riffs of The Break. Again the hook is out of the top drawer. The pace changes play a big part on this one and prevent it from becoming too samey and sliding into the background too much which helps the flow of the album as a whole. Open Arms is about as emotive of a rock song as you're ever going to get. It's kind of Shinedown- ish and was just made to be performed live. The big anthemic section at the end went down a storm on Saturday meaning this track surely will be a staple of the band's live shows forever and a day.
As the record hits the home stretch things kick up a gear for the final time as the stonking drum beat on the opening of Save Me beats you about the head. My only criticism here is that the song is too long, it hits the wall at just over three minutes and then kind of lingers around not doing a lot. It's a minor niggle but a niggle all the same.
Penultimate song Holding On is another one for the anthem lovers among you. It's a great track no doubt, and will for my money be a single one day but this one really comes to life when it's played live. This was the standout moment on Saturday and I guarantee it will be a standout moment for many gigs to come, the audience just came alive it was a great moment.
The curtain is brought down on the masquerade by ballad Alone With You. I'm not generally a big fan of rock albums finishing on ballads but I think here the track bookends the album really well and brings things to a nice conclusion.
As I mentioned at the off Masquerade has pretty much everything you want in a rock album. There is something for everyone on this record, although I think the band really are at their best on those big, grand tracks like the title track. The album ebbs and flows like the tide and never gets stale as the switches in style and pace keep everything moving along. Apart from Save Me being too long there really isn't anything I dislike about this record.
Masquerade is a beauty.

Stronger Together
Under the budget proposals cooked up by the Council's cabinet committee, children with special needs, disabled people, victims of domestic violence, older people, young people at risk, young parents and the homeless will all have services reduced or cut. If you look at the make-up of the cabinet – white, middle-class and middle-aged down to a man (and I mean that literally; no women, let alone a young person or someone from a different background) – it does go some way to explaining how a decision that requires such a lack of empathy could be made. That, and the fact that over the past two years it has been made clear from the very top: it is the same old nasty Tory party attacking the weakest targets they can find.
However, Lewes Stop the Cuts, a coalition of individuals, trade unions, charities, students and community groups, is committed to fighting these cuts to public services. A lobby of the next Council meeting is being held on Tuesday 12th February. Any individuals or organisations who can support this lobby should meet at the main entrance to County Hall, Lewes from 9am onwards to let the councillors know that those they think are the weakest are - together - the strongest.

Saina Nehwal beats Wang Yihan to reach the semifinals of the BWF World Championships
Saina Nehwal beat Wang Yihan 21-15, 19-21, 21-19 to reach the semifinal of the BWF World Championships in Jakarta.
Yihan got off to a superb start as she led 3-1 thanks to two forehand errors from Nehwal and a smash of her own. The Chinese went for her shots off the forehand wing and extended the lead to 6-3 with two winners. Nehwal turned the tables on Yihan with an amazing drop shot and an unforced error from Yihan meant Nehwal had a slender lead 11-10 at the interval.
Nehwal took control of the first game by putting more pressure on Yihan's serve extracting errors from her in the process. Yihan netted her backhand off the service return to give Nehwal her first game point, which she converted with a superb forehand smash.
Yihan bounced back as errors increased off Saina's racket
Yihan opened up a 4-1 lead at the beginning of the second game. Nehwal came back brilliantly thanks to couple of forehand winners that caught Yihan off guard. Couple of backhand errors from the Indian meant scores were level at 7-7.
It was Nehwal who led 11-8 at the interval when Yihan sent her two forehands long. A superb over the head smash extended Nehwal's lead to 13-9. Yihan w.on eight points in a row using the same tactics she used early on in the opening game, by going for her smashes on the forehand side. Nehwal stopped the rot with two points off her own with a deftly placed drop shot and a smash which Yihan netted.
Nehwal hung in the game with a backhand overhead shot that just about found the line to reduce the deficit to 16-19. Yihan brought her first game point with a brilliant forehand smash. The Indian saved two game points when Yihan netted her forehand and hit a forehand long, but a overhead smash by the Chinese helped her level scores at one game apiece.
Saina's aggression helped her close out the match
It was a tough battle in the third game as both players went for their shots to take an early lead. It was Yihan again who surged ahead 7-4 despite two outstanding forehand winners by the Indian. A forehand smash by Nehwal, two forehand unforced errors by Yihan helped Nehwal level scores at 8-8. A forehand smash off a weak serve by Nehwal helped Yihan lead 11-10 at the final interval.
After couple of forehand winners from either player, Nehwal levelled scores at 14-14 with well placed drop shots. A superb backhand dropshot by Nehwal brought the score to 17-15 in Yihan's favour. Two forehand smashes helped the Indian level scores at 18-18.
Nehwal brought up match point with a well placed forehand smash to Yihan's backhand. She wrapped up the match with a forehand smash that Yihan sent long.

text: AgDay Daily Recap - December 1, 2011 December 1, 2011 02:36 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgDay TV TODAY ON AGDAY DECEMBER 1, 2011 CHILD LABOR LAWS: Parents and agribusinesses across the country are worried newly proposed labor laws for farming operations may hinder the development of America's future farmers. Today is the last day to comment on the Department of Labor's proposed child labor rules. The nation's Labor Department says it's trying to make the rules for ag employment match those of factories and other non-ag workplaces. The proposed regulations would not apply to children working on farms owned by their parents. But it would keep kids from working on other farms--or in many ag jobs. That has seed companies worried about summer detasseler's. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassly says the rules could stifle the family farm. The comment period ends today. You can make your own comments online at the department of labor's website under the wage and hour division. HORSE SLAUGHTER: Also out of Washington, President Obama has signed a bill that appears to allow horse slaughter to resume in the U.S. Domestic horse slaughter has been all but banned since 2006. That year congress prohibited any money from being spent to regulate and inspect horses being transported for domestic slaughter. Since then, states have seen spikes in horses being abandoned and prices have bottomed out. In June a government accountability report said the U.S. slaughter rules were forcing horses to be shipped out of country for processing--where quote humane slaughtering protections do not apply. The new bill allows money to be spent on inspections. BTR GIPSA: In our Beef Today Report, packers are keeping a leery eye on the USDA's proposed GIPSA legislation. Just recently the ag department advanced parts of its proposed livestock marketing rules. But congress says not so fast. AgDay regional reporter, Michelle Rook shows us where things stand. BTR CATTLE MARKETS: Meanwhile, cattle prices have been strong the second half of 2011. According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle prices are up nearly 20% since July. And future's prices are predicting even higher prices in 2012. Holding up those markets are strong export demand and contracting U.S. supplies. The USDA is forecasting 2012 beef production will be down 5%. Morgan Stanley just named gold and livestock its top commodity picks for 2012. BTR LA NINA: Holding supplies in check is drought in the southern plains. Experts in Texas say it's virtually certain to continue at least until early summer. The cause of the record setting dry spell, remains two straight years of La Nina. And based on historical records, climatologists say there's 40% chance of La Nina returning for a third year...through 2013. Odessa Texas has registered just three quarters of an inch of rain for the entire year. DUST RULE: In the on-going battle over "farm dust", a house committee on Wednesday voted in support of the "Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act". The measure exempts farm dust from the clean air act unless the EPA can prove it's a significant health risk and that applying the standard is worth the cost. In October the EPA released a statement saying it wouldn't increase regulations. Regardless, the farm dust regulation prevention act now heads to the full house for a vote. You can get many more updates on the beef industry, including market and production information from our partners at www.beeftoday.com. ANALYSIS: Mike North IN THE COUNTRY; EBAY CHRISTMAS: This is the busiest online shopping week of the year. Folks are hitting their keyboards to fill those Christmas wishes. On-line is also a good way to earn extra cash during the holidays. In this report from the University of Tennessee, Chuck Denney tells us about an "e-bay" Christmas. UT Extension experts say potential sellers need to be aware the additional income could have tax implications to consider. Food and your family is next. TEENS VEGGIES: In food and your family - do your teenagers eat enough fruits and vegetables? If they're like many of their peers - they do not! The Center for Disease Control just released a new report showing one third of U.S. teens eat vegetables less than once a day. It was a similar number for fruit. The current recommendations call for a cup-and-a-half of fruit and two-and-a-half cups of vegetables for girls every day. Boys should have even more. On the other end – 17% of students ate fruit more than four times a day. APPLE PEELS: And here's a reason why you should not peel your apple before you eat it. Researchers at Montana State say polyphenols found in the peels can help people with bowel disorders. This could be good news for people who suffer from colitis and Crohn's disease. Researchers found that consuming apple polyphenols - antioxidants found in apple peels - suppress inflammation at the cellular level. CONTACT: We'd love to hear from you! Contact us at 800-792-4329.

In case you had any doubts
about Arafat's moral character (such doubts are likely limited amongst these readers, as opposed to the employees of the Carter Center), then click on the link above and find out exactly how much money Arafat's wife is receiving from the PA.
I'd also like to point out that the US gave massive amounts of money to the Palestines; if memory serves me correctly, I believe it is somewhere in the top three recipients of foreign aid (along with Israel and Egypt, though I'm not sure of the ordering). Some senator ought to start making some serious political hay out of this matter, since it appears that this money obviously did not benefit the intended parties - the Palestinians. Why should taxpayers have to pay for this? And why don't we hold the new government of the PA to more exacting standards than we apparently did for Arafat's regime, and extract promises about more transparant accounting before we send any more US dollars their way?
Meanwhile, the worthless Jimmy Carter is busy singing the praises of Arafat. Both men are Nobel Peace prize winners and fittingly, both are worthless when it comes to international politics - one intentionally corrupt and one too dumb to realize when he is being corrupted (see: North Korea, 1994).
I'll comment on the Jordan stuff later tonight - I did read that excerpt and he does come across poorly.

Blogging all the way to the bank
An e-mail to the Ross citizenry from civil servant Linda Lopez demonstrates the civility in civil. The front of the post office will be cleaned Saturday morning, but "no chemicals will be used in the cleaning process. ... To keep the exterior of the Post Office clean, we ask that care is taken when using the entry walkway to sell drinks such as lemonade."
The talk around town is of SFGate.com's new City Brights columnists, Billy and Peter Getty, who blog about what it's like to be rich. The first entry is partly tongue in cheek, the authors' bios stressing their limited life experiences and lax work habits. So, to some readers (there's been an array of comments elsewhere on the Net), they are charming jokers; to others, braggarts basking in the glow of family gold.
So what's a person of means to do? I polled a few members of that community for reaction:
"Quite amusing," said one person. "I can relate to some of the remarks in the piece, and although our family never had anything approaching the wealth of the Gettys, I was raised in comfortable circumstances." (The Getty blog, too, insists they're not as rich as some neighbors. It's a common disclaimer.)
In that kind of family, "certain things are expected of you in terms of community involvement and community service, public behavior is more closely scrutinized and quickly criticized. Although the Gettys have had national and international exposure in the media due not only to their great wealth, there has also been a lot of attention paid to 'scandals' and other newsworthy events. ... It has certainly been difficult to maintain a lower profile, which can be very upsetting in terms of privacy. ... I can understand that the younger members of the family want to be understood on their own terms and not be judged harshly by those who are not in a position to really understand their situation. The touch of humor is not out of place, either. It is a rather rueful attempt to explain that circumstances were not always of their making."
Another person weighs in:
"My first reaction is that the blog is repulsive. And my second reaction is that people will love to read it and trash it. I might even read it myself. However, I cannot figure out why the Gettys would want to put themselves out for the criticism that they will surely get. Most of the people I know who are extremely rich are trying to keep it under wraps, or they are working very hard to help others, like the group behind Tipping Point."
"Truly," said a third source, "I think we should be reading or rereading Dickens' 'A Tale of Two Cities' or some Shakespeare ... if we want a literary lesson about class and station. ... I think Billy may get better at his column (he won't be Charles McCabe, but does he have to be?) but readers will probably be merciless and not bother to plumb the depths of his intentions or subconscious slips to learn anything about him, his experiences, his view or wealth in San Francisco. But that's what you get for reading blogs."
P.S.: As to the Giants and their hot dogs - the Gettys had written, "We share a private box at Pac Bell or whatever the hell they're calling it these days, and it's actually kind of a hassle, to tell the truth. You can easily make far better hot dogs at home than they give you in the luxury boxes" - the Giants' Larry Baer said he hoped they'd try "our chicken apple sausage, kosher, Polish. ... Variety is the spice of life, and they'll find one they like. ... We love the Gettys. We love everybody."
And as a follow-up to the story of Wendy Schmidt and the Nantucket bookstore, here's more, thanks to a tip from Judith Marciange, on good deeds of the financially empowered:
The building that housed Amazing Grace Music in San Anselmo, a business founded 39 years ago, was up for sale in 2004. It was feared that a new landlord would raise the rent and force Amazing Grace out of business.
George Lucas bought the building and is keeping the rent affordable. Judy Kaufman, who owns the store with her husband, John Pedersen, says they don't have an ongoing relationship with him, but "we have an amazing relationship with his property manager. ... Lucas' kids have been here, they've bought props here for early movies, he can see us from his house. He shops across the street at United Market. ... He's just a huge town of San Anselmo supporter."

I'm interested in the relationship between kinds of normativity, especially practical, moral, and aesthetic normativity.
I'm currently working on 'ought implies can' and developing an account of practical reasoning, thinking especially about the relationship between it and our abilities.
In addition, I'm interested in certain topics in aesthetics, including meta-aesthetics, aesthetic properties like subtlety, as well as high and low art (see my post on this topic at Aesthetics for Birds).
Human Ability and the Limits of Morality (under contract with Routledge)
(Contact me for the manuscript.)
This book provides an introduction to the current debate surrounding 'ought implies can', ultimately siding against it. I will describe how to recover much of what makes the principle attractive, and close with a chapter on how the principle gets used (and abused) in popular debates. It will appear as part of Routledge's Focus on Philosophy Series.
Art and Philosophy, co-edited with Christy Mag Uidhir (under contract with Oxford University Press)
A volume of invited essays looking at the ways in which art informs philosophers' own views and work.
"The Culpable Inability Problem for Synchronic and Diachronic 'Ought Implies Can'", Journal of Moral Philosophy (forthcoming)
This paper offers a semi-formal framework for talking about different time-indexed versions of 'ought implies can'. It also argues, contra a common line of thought, that the culpable inability problem does not motivate a switch from the synchronic 'ought implies can' to the diachronic 'ought implies could have'.
"The Amoralist and the Anaesthetic", Pacific Philosophical Quarterly (forthcoming)
This paper puts pressure on moral motivational internalism and rejects normative motivational internalism by examining and rejecting a parallel aesthetic principle. I address possibly relevant disanalogies between the moral and the aesthetic, arguing that either they don't hold, or they do, but aren't strong enough to underwrite a motivational difference between the two domains. (Please contact me if interested in reading a pre-print.)
"'Ought Implies Can': Not So Pragmatic After All", Philosophy and Phenomenological Research (forthcoming)
The view that 'ought implies can' should be understood as a pragmatic principle - one involving either conversational implicature or presupposition - has become very popular. I argue that this strategy fails because 'ought implies can' fails to satisfy tests for conversational implicature and presupposition, and furthermore that it cannot account for the 'ought implies can' phenomena that arise in deliberation.
"The Virtue of Subtlety and the Vice of a Heavy Hand", The British Journal of Aesthetics, 2017
I examine subtlety in aesthetics. I discuss its hallmarks and offer an account of its value. It is valuable because it promotes active engagement with the artwork. I connect this to the role of agency and autonomy in art experience.
"Actions That We Ought, But Can't", Ratio, 2014
I offer a class of counterexamples to the 'ought implies can' principle by highlighting complex actions involving both behavioral and robust mental components. We often think that individuals have obligations to perform such actions, even while they cannot bring about the relevant mental states.
"The Aesthetic Attitude" in The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
This is a peer-reviewed article I wrote for the IEP. It's an introduction to different conceptions of and theories about the aesthetic attitude.
"Matilal As Metaethicist" (co-authored with Nic Bommarito)
This paper elucidates the metaethical views of Bimal Krishna Matilal (1935-1991). It is part of the Lost Voices at the Foundations of Ethics project.

Culture and Autism: How Cultural Norms Shape the Neurocognitive Development and Societal Understanding of Autism
Principal Supervisor: Dr Atsushi Senju (Birkbeck)
Co-Supervisor: Dr Liz Pellicano (Institute of Education)
The Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Department of Psychological Sciences, Birkbeck, University of London, and the Centre for Research in Autism and Education, the Department of Psychology and Human Development at the Institute of Education, London, are pleased to offer a full scholarship for a 3-year Bloomsbury Colleges collaborative PhD. The studentship will cover course fees at the usual level for UK and EU studentships and a stipend in accord with research council rates.
An important question about human social development is the role of the postnatal environment. Several major theories of social development (e.g. Senju & Johnson, 2009) emphasize the role of input from parents and caregivers as well as those from other members of society, which is essential for the infant to learn about the social world. Yet, experimental control of the postnatal environment is impossible in human studies. One of the most promising ways to study the effects of the postnatal environment is through the use of cross-cultural comparisons: different cultural norms should systematically modulate how the people in each culture learn to process and interact with others. However, very little is known about the effect of cultural background on the development of autism.
The successful PhD candidate will investigate the role of cultural norms about social communication on the development of (1) the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying face and gaze processing, (2) actual face/gaze behaviour in realistic face-to-face communication, and (3) personal experience in, and attitude towards, face-to-face communication, by contrasting British and Japanese individuals with and without autism. We will address these questions by conducting at least two experiments (Questions 1-2), together with questionnaire and semi-structured interview methods (Question 3).
The project will provide novel and unique insights into the role of the social environment on the perception, and development of, autism. Determining subtle behavioural variations in autism in different cultures will lead to a better understanding of the condition, particularly for ethnically diverse or underserved populations, and may eventually lead to more refined diagnostic criteria and more culturally-appropriate interventions.
Candidate Requirements
Graduates in experimental psychology or related subjects with a good first degree or Masters degree are encouraged to apply.
The project will involve the systematic assessment of social cognition, behaviour and attitudes in both the UK and Japan. It will bring together social, ethical and neurocognitive approaches and will also benefit from the deep understanding of autism and society in Western and Eastern cultures. The student will be strongly connected with brain research groups in both Japan and the UK and the educational research environment at the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE), and will have broader involvement with the UK's autistic community. The student will also have a unique experience and interactions with other students in both neuroscience and educational psychology, in the UK and in Japan, and in academic and stakeholder groups.

You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Thanks @mager For hunting us! It's been over 3 years since we launched our first product on PH, back when 100 votes got you to the top and @rrhoover emailed you personally to check in on how it impacted your site. How things have changed here and with Beyond Pricing! We're super excited about our new feature, Market Data. WHY WE BUILT MARKET DATA When we built Beyond Pricing, which was the first automated dynamic pricing engine for Airbnb and vacation rentals, one of the things we innovated on, that didn't really exist with similar software for the hotel and airline space, was a quick hover-over on each day of recommended prices, to show the breakdown of exactly what factors were contributing to our price recommendations (things like seasonality, day of week, major events, etc). We wanted to remove the black box a bit from why we were telling you to, for instance, triple prices for November 6th-9th in San Francisco (a little event called Dreamforce). However, even though that gave folks a bit more confidence, we wanted to remove the veil even more and truly democratize the data behind the pricing. And that's why we created Market Data Market Data lets anyone, whether they use our automated pricing solution or not, see exactly what's happening around their exact Airbnb or VRBO listing, in terms of key demand and supply trends like occupancy, similar listing pricing, and even hotel pricing. And we wanted to make it free. We think that access to this kind of information will help Airbnb hosts and vacation rental owners and managers make more informed decisions in general and help better price their places. And more rational pricing helps everyone in the market. Most vacation rental owners and even property managers are tiny compared to their counterparts in the hotel space. They have traditionally been at a significant disadvantage when it came to having the resources to compete. We're hoping by making Market Data free and available to everyone, it will democratize the data a bit and help the small guy compete. We'd love you to check it out and ask us questions and give us suggestions! Is there anything you'd like to see in addition or anything we could improve? Thanks! Ian, CEO
@mager @rrhoover also, big shout out to @newbergnate who is the awesome engineer on our team who did all the real work. Awesome first product build for you!
Kam Bain ✍Maker@kam_bain · Founder @Craaave, Growth @BeyondPricing
Thank you for posting! The team worked really hard on this and we're all around answering questions today. :) Thanks @mager for the hunt!
Hey Ian - This looks awesome! Is this something real estate investors could use before they buy a vacation rental property? We're spending more time in that world and it seems tough to get good data.
@ray_sturm Thanks! Great question and we get that a lot. Right now, the product is tailored just for existing vacation rental owners (you need to connect your Airbnb or HomeAway account to view the Market Data). We could definitely open it up to everyone by letting them just input a potential address or zip code where they're looking to buy and show them the data around that exact location. Stay tuned!
Paul Hart@snakecharmer · Founder @ Roamlocal.co
Awesome Airbnb / STR folks are always hungry for detail in the horrible fuzz that is Airbnb's inability to provide reliable data. 😏 I've spread this like sexy data herpes across a range of Airbnb Hosting Communities I'm involved in across Zuckerbergland. Here comes the horde! 😉

cycle touring - Serbia
Our first night cycle touring in Serbia was spent in a tiny farmhouse with an elderly Serbian couple that invited us into their home. This set the tone for the rest of our cycling in Serbia with many warm and hospitable encounters along the way.
In Belgrade we were given a cycle tour of the city and hosted by Aleksander and Milica enjoying their company and conversation until late into the night.
The Danube cycling saw us experience some ups and downs with a number of equipment failures all within one 48 hour period accompanied by a number of spontaneous acts of kindness from strangers that more than made up for any problems. Our day of food in Serbia resulted in a food enduced coma for Emma and a resolution to never eat a family pack of Baklava in a single sitting again.
This map shows the route we cycled through Serbia. To see full details of where we have cycled, take a look at our full route map.

Extracted, with the permission of the author, from "Blind Freddie's Guide to Fishery Management". This list is fully editable and additions or corrections are encouraged.
The laity Edit
Bush, George W
- "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." [Said at Saginaw, Michigan, Sept. 29, 2000]
Churchill, Winston
- "We must have a policy of utmost fish. Report before midnight." When he was First Lord of the Admiralty at the outset of the war, and beset with naval emergency, Churchill discovered somehow that there was an insufficient supply of fish being caught off the coast. In went the details; out went the famous order[1].
Cohen, Jack
- "I blame the training of today's managers. They've not been trained to think about robustness and stability. They've been trained to think about efficiency. Efficiency, to a modern manager, means that every conceivable component is just about to break down. The big problem here is reductionist managers operating with a complex system as if it were simple" (The Guardian 1.Mar.2001) Not exactly a fishy quotation, but definitely applicable to fisheries management - US National Standard 1 requires, for example, that the "optimum yield from each fishery for the United States fishing industry" be achieved on a continuing basis.
Shaw, George Bernard (1856-1950)
- polymath, playwright, Nobel prize winner, and the most prolific letter writer in history, was an advocate of English spelling reform. He was reportedly fond of pointing out its absurdities by proving that fish can be spelt ghoti. That is 'gh' as in 'rough' , 'o' as in 'women' and 'ti' as in palatial. [2]
Swift, Jonathan
- "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster".
Tzu, Lao
- "if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day but if you teach a man to fish you feed him for life". (Obviously written at a time when there weren't many men around.)
- The modern equivalent runs thus: "If you give a fisherman a grant he can keep his boat running for a month, but if you show him how to apply for subsidies he can keep his boat running for ever".
- But variants on the original have been observed such as "Give a Man a Fish and He'll Eat for a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, And He'll Sit in a Boat and Drink Beer All Day" etc.
- "as easy as shooting fish in a barrel" (Yes, but how easy is it to get the fish into the barrel in the first place?)
- (cited by King, cited by Magnus Johnson (Fishfolk 11 May 2004)) "The greatest doubt that has been thrown on the authenticity of the biblical miracles is the fact that most of the witnesses were fishermen"
- (possibly a tourist, after visiting Tiberias): Once Jesus wanted to cross the Sea of Galilee. He went to Tiberias fishermen and asked them if they could take him across the Lake. "Sure thing" - they answered - "for a price". When Jesus heard the price He said, "I'll better walk". And this is why Jesus walked on water.
The Bible Edit
Why Seventh Day Adventism is the faith of choice for marine invertebrate conservationists
- Leviticus Chapter 11: 9-10. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you"
How Jesus persuaded cast-netters to to reduce overcapacity without a buy-back scheme
- Matthew Chapter 4: 18-20. "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."
Marine protected areas are predicted (or possibly the impacs also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. "
Aquaculturalists don't escape His wrath…
- Isaiah Chapter 19:10. "And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish"
On the similarities between Heaven and fishing nets, and the discard of bycatch...
- Matthew Chapter 13:47-48. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away."
God authorizes food-fishing
- Genesis Chapter 9:1-3: "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."
God authorizes fisheries management:
- Genesis Chapter 1:28: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea…"
