Is it just me or are a couple of your links broken Russell?
I love that Waitangi day is fraught. It shows why NZ is different from Australia and USA etc. etc. We have our own, unique race issue that is still being played out 170+ years on from the signing. It has ebbed and flowed but has never gone away, and it's good for us as a nation to keep revisiting it because it makes up who we are – just as Christianity, rugby and Anzac Day do. Bring it all on, mix it up in the bowl and let's make NZ soup.
This is why we end up with fascinating musicians like @Peace – bit of reggae, bit of jazz, bit of soul, bit of rock, bit of hip hop but somehow beautiful Koiwoi in its totality. -
We walked the Waiheke sculpture trail. It seemed like half of Auckland were going to Waiheke, judging by the people density in the ferry terminal at either end, and the fact that Fullers seemed to give up on a timetable and ran the boats in a continuous shuttle. It was great! Personally, a day to reflect on what a fantastic city we live in.

Just you, I think. They're all working for me.
Damn! OK. I just get grey line under "I preferred Tame Iti's take:" and in one other spot.

Tame's one is an embedded tweet rather than a link. He says this:
History has woven us together. Waitangi Day is as much about communication as it is commemoration. We are the basket that holds the future.
What's other one?
I like it quiet:
Listened to National Radio Morning Report coverage from Waitangi. Homekeeping, in the broadest sense. Relaxed and read coincidentally including some on cultural optimism. Found lost wallet: WIN. Went out drank, talked and watched friend win pool over someone she'd never been able to. Home, dinner and 'Colombia' on TV.
Just checked JKs speech and he was just being a knob as usual. Thought he might have said something interesting. It would be fascinating to see if there would have been any Waitangi Tribunal or grievance process if the "activists" had just shut up and gone away back in the 70s and 80s. So-called activists are vital in any battle, whether you agree with them or not, because it is those at the extreme who help shift where the centre ground is.

I'm getting the same as Luke. Using Firefox.
Edit: Wow, that's weird. I see the link on reload, briefly, then it goes away to be replaced by the grey line.

Thanks Russell. The other one was following this para:
"In Auckland yesterday, there were three big outdoor celebrations – the long-running festival at Barry Curtis Park in Manukau, a new one at Henderson Park and a paid show at Bastion Point. Sale St pub touted a Waitangi Day beer festival where (for fuck's sake) "grass skirts" were appropriate "even for the men". Or there was this:"
Maybe it's because they were Tweets? -
Luke Williamson, in reply to
Me too for Firefox.
Well done, good post. Two things from me:
1. I'd be far happier with a well-worn vernacular Waitangi Day, complete with scars and painted-over bits, than I would with chucking it out and buying a shiny new New Zealand day from Noel Leemings.
2. And that segues into the marevellousness that was our Waitangi Day. We were hopelessly, ironically far too flat-out helping our three teeniebeasts to become well-rounded kiwi kids to stop and contemplate the meaning of the day in any depth. That meant french toast for breakfast, then piling in the car for a trip to the spectacular Buddhist temple in Botany for a wander, and a wonder about what New Zealand means to this section of immigrants, and a delicious lunch at the excellent vegetarian noodle house there, to the strains of the beats at Barry Curtis Park. Next, some bike riding around the school - then Herne Bay for the insanely-packed high tide, with a beer. Kids, sunshine, happy people, all colours and sizes. It was gorgeous, and I felt at home.
My partner went in to work, so he can take a day off later in the month when we have a weekend off in Hanmer for my birthday. It'd be good, he thought: a nice quiet day in an empty office.
Except that everyone else came in to work as well.

What a pain in the bum.
Enjoyed the silent city. Read a bit more Michael King. Did some work. Watched the Nga Tamatoa history on Maori TV including the early 70s Waitangi protests. Gritted teeth at TVNZ's smug bollockry about how all right-minded Kiwis were out 'celebrating' with bbqs on white beaches. Caught some Twitter. Some sleep.
Listened to RNZ from 5 to 6.30am, walk on Tokerau beach with dog, watered plants. Talked to son at 10.30am who was having fresh fruit salad, B&E pie, lettuce parcels, & wine brunch in Kiwi Rd the Chev with cool cousins.
Played Joe Strummer and Mescaleros "Streetcore" reissue with 7 live tracks, Jimmy Cliff and other covers. Checked out FB friends with lots of Waitangi comments. Without namedropping half my friends are Mana supporters and half old V8 boys (and gals)!
Waitangi a work in progress. And hope that the aspirationals will eventually get that "no justice for Māori tonight" demeans us all in various ways.
Sacha, in reply to
Twittercards showing fine with FF here.
I think tweet embedding is a highly javascript version dependent thing.
We ventured out to Henderson Park where I fell asleep in the sun listening to Tahuna Breaks in amongst a very amiable crowd. However when Sola Rosa came on someone on the mixing desk whacked up the bass to 11 and drowned out any vocals etc so we went home and listened to it on the stereo with a wine instead.
Worked in the garden in the morning listening to RNZ until mid-morning, where I thought Dame Anne Salmond provided a text book out-of-touch elite commentary for me to muse over during my hanging basket maintenance. Honestly, if her Pollyanna views on race relations are typical we are in for some fireworks when ivory tower happy clappy collides with surly ZB Waitakere man over the constitutional review.
Then I went and did a bit of shopping, had a nice walk to the top of Mt. Eden, went home and pottered about with my kontiki and at the same time laid low to avoid friends who wanted to persuade me to go with them to the council concert in Henderson. I then deliberately avoided the news.
As I currently on sabbatical a 'day off' is largely theoretical but the day consisted of:
Drove my daughter to the dinky Coalfields Museum in Huntly, where she is doing an internship and loving it--cataloguing baby bonnets, old wedding dresses, c19th hats etc. Then went for a bike ride around nearby Lake Hakanoa, which is surprisingly interesting and has one of the best looking campgrounds in NZ. Asian families fishing for god knows what in the lake.
Checked out the preparations for Waitangi Day celebrations by the Waipa River in Ngaruwahia.
Spent the afternoon helping friends move furniture and then trimmed overgrown vegetation along the drive, and harvested tomatoes and cucumbers.
Then tried to sort out the mysteries of a US visa application -
Judging from the lawnmower chorus in my neighbourhood, the appropriate activity on Waitangi Day is gardening. I split my time between a book in the hammock, shifting rocks, laying weedmat, contemplated the lawnmower a couple of times but didn't actually fire it up, and retreated indoors to the Internet (and a G&T) about 6pm after being stung by a wasp.
It was a pretty good day, actually.
I went for a drive through the Wairarapa to look for more land to colonise.
Do many peoples anywhere do things to celebrate a national day - as opposed to just taking advantage of the day off? The UK doesn't have one at all, no Queen's Birthday or Remembrance Day. I think that's healthy, particularly in the light of their lack of history worthy of a celebration.
Listened to Simon Mercep trying to shut people up on Morning report.
Biked up road to help friend milk her two sheep.
Helped husband load up the seven white woolly pet sheep in our back garden and take them back to the aforementioned "up the road".
Used a handmade trolly to collect about 150 carefully denailed fence palings from our very local tip recycling. Much thanks to the person who took the trouble to stack them there.
It's interesting to get an idea of the sort of people who read and respond to your blogs. My Waitangi Day involved sleeping in after many nights recently working late, tidying the house, rabbit-proofing our gate (to keep the thing IN), going to a friend's wine-tasting quiz party in Mangere Bridge where I remembered it was actually Waitangi Day by some of NZ History themed questions (This wine's vintage is the same year the NZ Govt cancelled Waitangi celebrations, was it 1988, 1993 or 1998?); then came home, ate fish'n'chips, tidied up the kids' mess, sprayed the fruit trees, showered and watched The Hangover for the first time.
Played computer games in the morning, went to Kings to get a few herbs, which my beloved planted, watched cricket while kneading pasta dough, rode the stationary bike while reading Peter F Hamilton, ate dinner and watched Chuck.
Basically it was a Saturday.
Waitangi day strikes me as charming and odd. It's an important day in the history of NZ but it seems nobody really knows what they want to do with it. Do we want to protest about the harm and inequalities that exist in our society or celebrate a treaty that made a genuine attempt at harmony. And in a society that is increasingly diverse and increasingly proud of the diversity is the focus on only two groups a good or bad thing.
In the end it seems easiest to set aside the big questions, have a BBQ and enjoy the sunshine ... and maybe that's not a bad thing either.

There are/will be many, many more such nonsense email addresses/domains/names. But the scams are actually quite easy to spot. First of all, if you try to browse to the website of the relevant domain (eg humanresource.com) you may find it is "for sale". Also, small mistakes in idiomatic English may be another dead giveaway, for example the missing "s" in humanresource.com.
- They usually start off saying that you responded to one of their job ads.
They then request, "in order that we can process your application", that you fax them a whole host of documents including CV and photo.
They may urge you to do this urgently because "positions are limited."
They may finish by saying that if you don't hear from them within 10 days "you can assume that your application was not successful, this time."
Everything is generic. You are addressed as "Dear Jobseeker" or suchlike, not by name.

Proudly Serving The Richmond, Virginia Metropolitan Area including Rockville VA!
At Better Dog Behavior Now I believe in rewards-based dog training. I do use humane corrections, only when necessary.
As a matter of fact the answer to serious behavioral problems is hardly ever corrections. Incorrect corrections can make behavior problems worse and damage your relationship with your dog.
My experience has been teaching behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior is usually the answer. Make it more rewarding to perform the behavior you want than the behavior you don't.
Once you think like that, then the relationship with your dog begins to change, for the better. The dog WANTS to work for you.
When you train and do behavior modification this way, then you need minimal corrections.
I come to you. Usually the problem occurs where you and the dog are together, so it makes sense to solve it where you and your dog live!
Before we meet in person, I do a no-cost Strategy Session by phone to get an idea of what's going on with your dog, you and your family. I will ask a lot of questions!
Then I get to work training and/or extinguishing unwanted behavior.
Dog training is not rocket science but most clients are surprised when they realize how they have influenced/created their dog's behavior problems!
I make it my personal mission to improve your dog's behavior!
Most behavior problems in dogs result from a lack of the proper exercise and from human owners who don't understand their pets.
Many behavior problems are caused by human owners, who are unknowingly letting their dogs lead the relationship.
The answer is NOT dominance, but true leadership. I will show you how to lead. Once you are leading your dog, then behavior modification for your dog is an easier proposition.
Lastly most owners don't realize the power of rewards. And most owners are unknowingly rewarding their dog's bad behavior.
Once these four issues are solved then we get to the task of modifying your dog's behavior. One of my clients likes to say I modify owner behavior before I modify dog behavior!
Basic dog obedience training is easy. Really easy. Competition obedience is a different story. But most folks don't want a competition obedience champion. They want a dog that listens and obeys.
I want more than that. I want a dog that WANTS to work!
I will teach you how to get your dog to want to work for you and make Obedience and polite behavior fun for both of you!

Executive Physicals in Saint Leo, FL
Getting an annual physical examination can be the cause of some annoyance—sitting in a waiting room, filling out tedious health forms, waiting indeterminately for your healthcare provider to arrive, and all of this culminating in a brief meeting during which addressing your entire health state is unlikely. In addition, for the working professional, getting a full picture of your health may be taxing on your time and energy, involving multiple doctors' visits in order to get the comprehensive reading of health you need. Due to these time constraints, many people wait to see their healthcare provider until there is a problem, taking preventative approaches to many medical conditions out of the equation.
To ensure your entire health is accounted for, the executive physical was invented to optimize the annual event of visiting your healthcare provider. Executive physicals move beyond the standard annual physical exam to provide patients with the most in-depth healthcare assessment available. These physical exams, combined with extensive lab work, are used to create a detailed health plan tailored to your unique health needs as they relate to your current state of health. They put weeks' worth of traditional testing and follow-up visits into a single day, to optimize your time and to revitalize your health.
Are you worried that your annual physical exam might not be getting the whole picture? Contact a healthcare provider in Saint Leo that can provide an executive physical exam. Call (813) 536-3212 or contact Erin Bolton online.
Executive Physicals: What to Expect
Executive physicals move far beyond your normal annual physical exam. You can expect several hours to an entire day that will be dedicated to your sequence of testing. An executive physical exam will not only address physical health concerns, but also address your emotional health by evaluating stress levels and other factors affecting your mood. The exam will also evaluate lifestyle choices including diet and exercise and work to create preventative solutions to many common chronic ailments. It is recommended that you conduct research on the program you're interested in to identify inclusions as well as costs. Typically, patients can expect personalized consultations with specialists as well as a detailed report and tailored health recommendations.
Benefits of Getting an Executive Physical
Executive physicals offer far more than a sequence of testing not typically included in an annual physical exam. Benefits, which are many, of electing an executive health exam may include:
- State-of-the-art screening: Executive physicals allow access to comprehensive testing services, including whole-body CT scans and much more, to bring light to any potential health issues lingering in your body.
- Customized health advice: Oftentimes, the drawback of a 10 minute health exam is the health advice may be limited and generic. In an executive physical, however, time will be dedicated to carefully consider your unique state of health and how it may be optimized.
- Relaxed consultation: Executive physicals are often all day affairs, allowing for personalized and intricate health planning that addresses all your health concerns.
- Access to specialists: Whatever yours or your healthcare provider's health concerns are for you, executive physicals allow solutions spanning specialties. If you're worried, for instance, about your lack of exercise, fitness and exercise plans can be discussed with an exercise physiologist, while detailed diet advice can be gained from a dietician or nutritionist.
- Expedient results: Unlike traditional physical exams, which, depending on testing, may involve multiple tasks (such as bringing in urine samples and having to return another day to receiving the results), an executive health program streamlines the process, completing sample collection the morning of your exam and having your results by the end of the day. You'll likely enjoy the benefits of getting your test results immediately and discussed in great detail with a trained healthcare provider.
Getting Started
Whether you ultimately decide that an executive physical is right for you, it's important to regularly assess your health status with your healthcare provider. A healthcare provider in Saint Leo can discuss with you the details of an executive physical exam as well as whether you're a good candidate. For more information, call (813) 536-3212 or contact Erin Bolton online.

Fort Hood Shooting Update — What We Know and What's Being Investigated
More and more information keeps pouring out regarding the Wednesday-night shooting deaths at the Fort Hood Army base in Killeen, Texas. Here's a recap of what we've learned.
- The alleged shooter, Specialist Ivan Lopez, 34, killed three and injured 16 others before being shot by a military police officer and then turning his weapon on himself. ABC is reporting that, just prior to his shooting rampage, he had been denied a leave-of-absence form, which may have been what initially enraged him, leading him to return armed.
- Lopez had a clean record prior to Wednesday. He had "no outstanding bad marks for any kinds of major misbehaviors that we're yet aware of," said Secretary of the Army John McHugh. Lopez had been seeing a military psychiatrist, who was treating him for anxiety and depression. He was also being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder following a four-month tour in Iraq in 2011, though he did not serve in combat while there.
- The names of Lopez's three victims are Sergeant Danny Ferguson of Mulberry, Florida; Sergeant Carlos A. Lazaney of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico; and Sergeant Timothy Owens of Effingham, Illinois.
- Officials at Fort Hood are in the process of conducting an investigation into exactly what happened and what led to it.
- Investigators are looking particularly closely at the issue of Lopez's mental health—since he apparently did not see any combat while in Iraq or during a 13-month stint on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the motivation behind the alleged shooting spree may have been "no more intelligible than the reasons behind school shootings or workplace killings."
- "We have very strong evidence that he had a medical history that indicates an unstable psychiatric or psychological condition," said Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, commander of Fort Hood, on Thursday afternoon. "We believe that to be the fundamental underlying causal factor."

Every day—sunny or cloudy, Spring through Winter—you are exposed to damaging ultraviolet rays. Though you may not realize it, it's there—UV radiation is invisible to the naked eye.
Did you know…
- UV light can "sunburn" the eye's surface and cause benign yellowish growths on the human eye
- Prolonged exposure to harmful UVA and UVB radiation over time can contribute to serious, age-related eye conditions or diseases
- These diseases include cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 60
- Only lens materials or lens treatments that promise 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays protect your eyes fully from the harmful rays of the sun. Demand 100% UV protection.

HIV: Treatment & Prevention
All exposed surfaces of the house should be cleaned using a bleach containing cleanser to kill all germs. It's best to wear rubber gloves while cleaning. The cleaning rags should be then disposed of or sanitized with hot water and bleach before next use.
Even though stomach flu or acute gastroenteritis is commonly benign and self-limited and subsides within a few days; it can knock you out for a few days and leave you extremely tired and weak. With your intestines attacked by the flu, one often manifests symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and even mild fever. Moreover, it can easily spread to another person. However, it can be protected against by taking a few preventive measures.
Practicing proper hand hygiene is the first measure that must be aggressively pursued. Hands must be rubbed for at least 15 seconds. Hand sanitizers containing minimum 60 percent alcohol should be used as frequently as possible.
All raw food must be washed well before eating or cooking. If someone had contracted the infection, he/she should not cook or serve food to others for at least three to four days after the symptom has cleared. Finally, remember to quarantine the sick person to prevent spread or reoccurrence.

Head lice are small parasitic insects that thrive in human hair by feeding on tiny amounts of blood from the scalp. An estimated six to 12 million infestations occur in the U.S. annually. It is particularly common among pre-school and elementary school children. Head lice do not transmit any diseases, but they are very contagious and can be very itchy. They are characterized by the combination of small red bumps and tiny white specks (also known as eggs or nits) on the bottom of hair closest to the skin (less than a quarter-inch from the scalp).
Head lice are visible to the naked eye. The eggs look like yellow, tan or brown dots on a hair. Live lice can also be seen crawling on the scalp. When eggs hatch, they become nymphs (baby lice). Nymphs grow to adult lice within one or two weeks of hatching. An adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed. Lice feed on blood from the scalp several times a day. They can also survive up to two days off of the scalp.
Head lice are spread through head-to-head contact; by sharing clothing, linens, combs, brushes, hats and other personal products; or by lying on upholstered furniture or beds of an infested person. You can determine if your child has head lice by parting the child's hair and looking for nits or lice, particularly around the ears and nape of the neck. If one member of your family is diagnosed with head lice, you'll need to check on every member of the same household.
Medicated lice treatments include shampoos, cream rinses and lotions that kill the lice. Many of these are over-the-counter, but prescription drugs are available for more severe cases. It is important to use these medications exactly as instructed and for the full course of treatment to eliminate the lice. Do not use a cream rinse, conditioner or combined shampoo and conditioner on your hair before a lice treatment. You also should not shampoo for one or two days following the application of a treatment. After applying the medicated treatment, use a special comb to comb out any nits on the scalp. Repeat the entire treatment seven to ten days after the initial treatment to take care of any newly hatched lice. Please note that you should not treat a person more than three times with any individual lice medication.
To get rid of the lice, you'll also have to:
- Wash all bed linens and clothing warm by the infested person in very hot water.
- Dry clean clothing that is not machine washable.
- Vacuum upholstery in your home and car.
- Any items, such as stuffed toys, that can't be machine-washed can be placed in an airtight bag and stored away for two weeks. Lice cannot survive this long without feeding.
- Soak combs, brushes, headbands and other hair accessories in rubbing alcohol or medicated shampoo for at least one hour or throw them away.
If your child still has head lice after two weeks with over-the-counter medicated products, contact your dermatologist for more effective treatment.

How to use the Lakewood Traffic Map Traffic flow lines: Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow and Green = normal traffic or no traffic*. Black lines or No traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, If you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again.
* In known extreme weather events or accidents, the map provider may still show green lines, even if lanes or the entire road is closed.

An analysis of DNA from chicken bones collected in the South Pacific appears to dispel a long-held theory that the ubiquitous bird first arrived in South America aboard an ancient Polynesian seafarer's ocean-going outrigger.
Instead, researchers who sequenced mitochondrial DNA from modern and ancient chicken specimens collected from Polynesia and the islands of Southeast Asia found those populations are genetically distinct from chickens found in South America.
"[The] lack of the Polynesian sequences [of DNA] in modern South American chickens ... would argue against any trading contact as far as chickens go," says Alan Cooper, director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, who is a co-author in the study published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
(For a treatise on the origins of the domesticated chicken, and how the bird came to play such a key role in the human diet, see this.)
The finding may shed light on one of the most vexing questions in modern anthropology: Did South Pacific seafarers, who evidence shows settled island chains separated by vast stretches of ocean, reach the coast of South America before the time of Christopher Columbus?
The evidence is contradictory.
In a similar study published in 2007, researchers looked at chicken bones found at an archeological site in Chile that were radiocarbon dated to pre-Columbian times (between 1321 and 1407). DNA analysis of those specimens found what scientists thought was a genetic mutation unique to Polynesian chickens — which would point to a Pacific origin for the birds — only to discover later that the mutation is common in all chickens.
Alice Storey, an archeologist who led the 2007 study, is skeptical of the latest results. She says the new study focuses too much on modern DNA.
"Using modern DNA to understand what people were doing in the past is like sampling a group of commuters at a London Tube station at rush hour," Storey is quoted by National Geographic as saying. "The DNA you get is unlikely to provide much useful information on the pre-Roman population of London."
Nat Geo writes:
"As humans moved around the world, they brought chickens along with them. So modern chicken populations aren't necessarily representative of past populations, Storey said. "We know from his journals [that] Cook moved chickens all over the Pacific, as did other Europeans, so DNA from chickens living on Pacific islands today has little to tell us about what people were doing in Polynesia, the Pacific, and in Southeast Asia before A.D. 1600."
The South American sweet potato, common in modern times in the Pacific islands, has long been viewed as a key piece of evidence supporting the hypothesis that Polynesians made contact with the Americas in pre-Columbian times.
(Incidentally, Thor Heyerdahl — who built and sailed a primitive raft from the South American coast west across the Pacific in 1947 to bolster his now discredited hypothesis that it was South Americans who settled the South Pacific — also used the sweet potato as evidence for his claim).
But the absence in South America of Pacific rats, known to have accompanied Polynesians on their island-hopping voyages of colonization, is a strike against the theory.
So, where did the Pacific islands chicken come from?
"We can show that the trail heads back into the Philippines," Cooper tells Nat Geo. "We're currently working on tracing it farther northward from there. However, we're following a proxy, rather than the actual humans themselves."
As for the South American bird, that's still a mystery.

About SEES:
A sustainable world is one in which human needs are met equitably without harm to the environment, and without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Meeting this formidable challenge requires a substantial increase in our understanding of the integrated system of society, the natural world, and the alterations humans bring to Earth. NSF's Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (SEES) activities aim to address this need through support for interdisciplinary research and education.
Fundamental to all sustainability research is the simultaneous consideration of social, economic, and environmental systems and the long-term viability of those systems. Concepts that underlie the science of sustainability include complex adaptive systems theory, emergent behavior, multi-scale processes, as well as the vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience of coupled human-environment systems. An important research goal is to understand how patterns and processes at the local and regional scales are shaped by-and feed into-processes and patterns that manifest at the global scale over the long term. These topics guide research to explore alternate ways of managing the environment, migrating from finite resources to renewable or inexhaustible resources, and applying technology to improve human well-being. Conceptual frameworks for sustainability, including general theories and models, are critically needed for such informed decision-making.
SEES activities span the entire range of scientific domains at NSF and aim to: 1) support interdisciplinary research and education that can facilitate the move towards global sustainability; 2) build linkages among existing projects and partners and add new participants in the sustainability research enterprise; and 3) develop a workforce trained in the interdisciplinary scholarship needed to understand and address the complex issues of sustainability.

SEES Newsletters:
Short Description of SEES-Related Programs:
(Please note that several of these programs have been discontinued, or are not accepting proposals at this time. The table above indicates which programs are currently active)
Arctic SEES (ArcSEES)
ArcSEES is a multi-year, interdisciplinary program which seeks both fundamental research that improves our ability to evaluate the sustainability of the Arctic human-environmental system as well as integrated efforts which will provide community-relevant sustainability pathways and engineering solutions.
Climate Change Education (CCE): Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) Program, Phase II (CCEP-II)
The CCEP Program sought to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts.
Coastal SEES
The Coastal SEES program is a multi-directorate program that seeks to (1) enable place-based system-level understanding of coastal systems on a variety of spatial and temporal scales; (2) yield outcomes with predictive value in coastal systems; and (3) identify pathways by which outcomes could be used to enhance coastal sustainability.
Cyber-Innovation for Sustainability Science and Engineering (CyberSEES)
The CyberSEES program aims to advance interdisciplinary research in which the science and engineering of sustainability are enabled by new advances in computing, and where computational innovation is grounded in the context of sustainability problems.
Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction Using Earth System Models (EaSM)
This interdisciplinary grand challenge calls for the development of next-generation Earth System Models that include coupled and interactive representations of ecosystems, agricultural working lands and forests, urban environments, biogeochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, ocean and atmospheric currents, the water cycle, land ice, and human activities.
Dimensions of Biodiversity
The Dimensions of Biodiversity campaign seeks to transform how we describe and understand the scope and role of life on Earth. The campaign promotes novel, integrated approaches to identify and understand the evolutionary and ecological significance of biodiversity amidst the changing environment of the present day and in the geologic past. While this focus complements several core NSF programs, it differs by requiring that multiple dimensions of biodiversity be addressed simultaneously, in innovative or novel ways, to understand their synergistic roles in critical ecological and evolutionary processes.
Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH)
This program promotes interdisciplinary analyses of relevant human and natural system processes and complex interactions among human and natural systems at diverse scales. The most recent revision of the solicitation included special emphasis on SEES-related proposals.
Interdisciplinary Research in Hazards and Disasters (Hazards SEES)
The Hazards SEES program is a multi-directorate program that seeks to: (1) advance understanding of fundamental processes associated with specific natural hazards and technological hazards linked to natural phenomena, and their interactions; (2) better understand the causes, interdependences, impacts and cumulative effects of hazards on individuals, the natural and built environment, and society as a whole; and (3) improve capabilities for forecasting or predicting hazards, mitigating their effects, and enhancing the capacity to respond to and recover from resultant disasters.
Ocean Acidification (OA)
This program promotes better understanding of (1) the geochemistry and biogeochemistry of ocean acidification; (2) how ocean acidification interacts with biological and physical processes at the organismal level, and how such interactions impact the structure and function of ecosystems; and (3) how the earth system history informs our understanding of the effects of ocean acidification on the present day and future ocean.
Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)
The primary goal of PIRE is to support high quality projects in which advances in research and education could not occur without international collaboration. The FY 2012 PIRE competition was focused exclusively on the NSF-wide SEES investment area.
Research Coordination Networks (RCN)
The goal of the RCN program is to advance a field or create new directions in research or education. Groups of investigators will be supported to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic and international boundaries. The RCN-SEES track has been discontinued, but other RCN funding opportunities exist.
Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows)
Through SEES Fellows, NSF seeks to enable the discoveries needed to inform actions that lead to environmental, energy and societal sustainability while creating the necessary workforce to address these challenges.
Small Business Technology Transfer Program Phase I Solicitation FY-2014 (STTR)
The STTR program solicits proposals from the small business sector. The FY14 solicitation had four SEES-related focus areas: (1) Biolgical and Chemical Technologies (BC); (2) Education Applications (EA); (3) Electronics, Information and Communication Technologies (EI); and (4) Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, and Manufacturing (NM).
Dear Colleague Letter: Sustainable Chemistry, Engineering, and Materials (SusChEM)
The SusChEM Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) draws attention to opportunities for research and education in the chemical sciences and engineering related to sustainable synthesis, use, and reuse of chemicals and materials under the initiative of Sustainable Chemistry, Engineering, and Materials (SusChEM).
Sustainable Energy Pathways (SEP)
SEP called for innovative, interdisciplinary basic research in SEES by teams of researchers for developing systems approaches to sustainable energy pathways based on a comprehensive understanding of the scientific, technical, environmental, economic, and societal issues. The program considered scalable approaches for sustainable energy conversion to useful forms, as well as its storage, transmission, distribution, and use.
Sustainability Research Networks (SRN)
The goal of the Sustainability Research Networks (SRN) competition has been to support the development and coalescence of entities to advance collaborative research that addresses questions and challenges in sustainability science, engineering, and education.
Water Sustainability and Climate
The goal of the WSC program is to enable new interdisciplinary paradigms in water research, which broadly integrate across the biological sciences, geosciences, engineering, and social sciences to address water systems in their entirety.

The World Health Organization is telling couples around the world to get tested together to see if either is infected with HIV.
If one of them is, that partner should start treatment with anti-HIV drugs – even if it's not yet medically necessary.
It's a significant step toward " treatment as prevention," as the new buzzphrase goes in the world of HIV/AIDS. In other words, treating HIV infection right away lowers the chance that the treated person will infect others. Early treatment also reduces transmission of TB, the new guidelines say.
In the old days – before last year – treatment and prevention of HIV were seen as separate, even competing, priorities.
About 50 million people around the world get HIV blood tests every year, and the vast majority go alone for the tests.
Much of the time, tested individuals don't share the results with their sex partners. The new guideline aims to change that, so both partners in a stable relationship can work together to prevent the uninfected person from getting the virus.
"By encouraging couples to test together, we can provide comprehensive options for HIV prevent and treatment – that they can discuss and manage jointly," says Michel Sidibe, executive director of UNAIDS, a UN agency.
And then there are the many people who are not yet getting HIV tests. The WHO says only 40 percent of infected people know their status.
The vast majority of new HIV infections around the world occur in couples where one partner is infected, known among experts as "discordant" couples. The WHO says about half of couples affected by HIV are discordant; in the other half, both partners are infected.
Early HIV treatment of the infected partner has been shown to reduce the chances of transmission to the uninfected one by 96 percent.
By combining early treatment with consistent use of condoms and other strategies, such as male circumcision, the uninfected member of a discordant couple can stay that way, the new WHO guidelines say.
The new recommendation expands the number of people eligible for anti-retroviral treatment, which costs about $100 a year in some developing countries.
Sophie Barton-Knott, a spokeswoman for UNAIDS, tells Shots the agency is working on an estimate of how many additional people would become eligible for HIV treatment under the new guidelines, but doesn't have one yet.
Right now nearly 7 million people globally are on HIV drug treatment. That's about half the number of those who are currently eligible.
"In the long run, initial cost increases should be counter-balanced by future savings brought about by reduced HIV transmission," the WHO guidelines say. But of course, those "initial cost increases" will be a problem in a world of shrinking resources for fighting HIV and other public health priorities.

Jan 30, 2015 | Carpet One Floor & Home
We had the opportunity to ask Catherine Lucie-Horber, the Principal of Royal Interior Design Ltd , what trends she sees being popular in 2015 design. Here's what she shared as her 2015 design trend predictions for home decor.
The beauty about styles and trends is that they are a never ending cycle. Often when it comes back it is with a BANG! Either bigger and better or just worse than ever. I am happy to see some of the evolving new trends. Often working with clients I can show them things that are so beautiful and in style like a bold beautiful wall paper for an accent wall, or stunning patterns on drapery fabrics and I will hear things like; "Wallpaper and drapery remind me of something that was in my grandmother's house!" I know what they are referring to but the current trends happening are not the same thing. The reality is that it is not necessarily the item that classifies a material or finish as being in style… but really its application, content, balance and how it is being used.
Wallpaper is one of the trends that has come back with a huge BANG! And now more then ever as we are seeing them be bolder with added rich velvet textures, shiny metallics, even crocodile skin and leather textures! The bolder the better it seems. One beautiful carefully chosen textured wallpaper can be a stunning focal point to any room and we'll be using wallpapers throughout 2015!
Colorwise, I see the continuation of rich dark navy blues… You can see dark navy in many big design staple stores, in new fabric collections from major manufacturers etc. It is rich, classy and hard to go out of style. It is often combined with another major trend lately the use of gold!! Yes it is back... lots of gold, either in chandeliers, in stunning accent lamps, decorative vases, or even many accent and coffee tables will have gold mixed with white marble.
Large bold prints and florals on fabrics are coming back with a large influence in accent pieces and I plan on working with this trend with use of my accents such as big pillows, drapery or accent chairs in spaces. A surprisingly widely used theme being seen everywhere in the form of either artwork, fabric, vases or decorative accessories has been the use of bones, skulls, bull heads and horns. They come in many shapes, textures and colors. I have already started working these elements into my current design projects.
Asian influences are also seemingly strong with chinoiserie patterns in fabrics, vases, bowls and various other applications. Buddha statues are conducive to be placed in both casual and elegant interiors.

Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair pleaded guilty to adultery and two other charges in a court martial proceeding Thursday at Fort Bragg, N.C. He still faces the most serious charge of sexually assaulting a female captain.
Sinclair, 51, a former deputy commander with the 82nd Airborne Division, admitted to an extramarital affair with the captain and "inappropriate relationships" with two other women. Adultery is considered an offense under military law. He also pleaded guilty to possessing pornography while stationed in Afghanistan, a violation of orders in the conservative Muslim country, The Associated Press reports.
The New York Times says Sinclair's decision to plead guilty to possessing pornography "came after Army prosecutors made it clear on Wednesday that they wanted to show the military jury reams of pornography that they said General Sinclair had illegally watched in Afghanistan. It would illustrate, they said, sexual desires that led him to assault a junior officer."
According to the AP:
"Sinclair's lawyer Richard Scheff said before the plea that his client was taking responsibility for his actions, but also strengthening his legal position. By admitting guilt on the three charges for which there is the strongest evidence, the married father of two hoped to narrow the focus of the trial to charges that rely heavily on the testimony and credibility of his former mistress."
Sinclair's jury consists of five fellow generals. The Associated Press says he could be sentenced to life in prison if he's convicted of the most serious charge of sexual assault.
"Sinclair's attorneys had acknowledged outside of court long ago that he had committed adultery and other nonviolent offenses. They worried that exposing a jury to days of sordid testimony about his porn and relationships with other women could inflame sentiments against him and influence the more consequential sexual-assault verdict."
"'The prosecution team no longer gets to distract us with salacious details about acts that aren't even criminal in the civilian world,' Sinclair's lawyer, Richard Scheff, said in a statement. 'All they're left with is a crime that never happened.'"
"Opening arguments are set for Friday at Fort Bragg, N.C. Sinclair's fate will be decided by a jury of five Army major generals."

This year I attended my first Makeup Show. It was an absolutely amazing experience and honestly it couldn't have gone any better. I really want to thank Graftobian for bringing me to the show and really taking care of me and my mom. This is part 1 of my series on the Makeup Show and in this post I'll feature pics from the show, from my class, from viewers and even some with my mom in the city. Part 2 will feature my haul.
Click here for more!
Check out the video for my experience and first makeup show giveaway!
Booth Time with Graftobian!
I basically spent both days working the Graftobian booth. I was there to help out customers, do color matches, make over models as well as people coming to the booth. It was so much fun! I got to meet a lot of my subbies who came by and took lots of pictures. I also was sooo exhausted, lol. I'm so thankful I wore flats. Next time though, I need to make sure and eat more and take a few more breaks. I was dying! I'm mad I didn't take a second to get pics with Eric and John from Graftobian, ah well, next time!

My Class! What Color Am I?
The morning of the second day, I had my class. I was so nervous no one would come! It was at 10:45am and at 10:40 I only saw a few people in the audience. At 10:45 I turned back around and it was packed! There were even rows of people standing in the back. Thank goodness! I really appreciate everyone who came out to support me. In the class I showed how to color match, use a cream foundation as a concealer and liquid foundation and how to airbrush. It couldn't have gone better :) My mom took some great pics!
Mommy and Daughter Time!
Of course I had to spent quality time with mommy. She flew in from Orlando to meet me. After the show I made sure to take her out to see the city since she hadn't been since 2000, before the World Trade Center bombings. Here are a few fun pics!
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
Empire State Building - It was really cold and windy up there, lol.
Mary Poppins Broadway Show - This was the last night and I was exhausted! I fell asleep during parts of the show but it was still really good. Did you know that Graftobian makes the black soot makeup they use in the show? Pretty cool right?

For directly inserting content into a file on an FTP host, you could also create a string stream wich streams directly to the ftp_fput function.
This should create less overhead than first writing to any temp directories locally before streaming, as suggested here.
$string = "Your content goes here";
$stream = fopen('data://text/plain,' . $string,'r');
ftp_fput($this->connection,$pathTo,$stream, FTP_BINARY);
