- dp-14-05 Designing by Degrees: Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness in Climate PolicyAbstract: Substantially reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity production will require a transformation of the resources used to produce power. This paper analyzes the economic consequences of a suite of different flexible and comprehensive policies to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector, including a carbon tax, a tradable emissions rate performance standard, and two versions of a clean energy standard (CES). A technology-based CES can bring about substantial reductions in CO2 emissions but would neglect to harvest some economic reductions because it fails to affect decisions at three margins, including emissions rate heterogeneity in the natural gas and coal generation fleets and electricity demand reductions. Natural gas emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by crediting clean generation based on emissions rates instead of technology. Coal emissions rate heterogeneity can be addressed by altering the policy to credit all generators instead of just a subset. Demand reductions can be harvested by removing the subsidy component of the policy and allowing retail electricity prices to rise. Harvesting emissions abatement on all three margins saves about 40 percent of the discounted cumulative economic welfare costs of a technology-based CES through 2035, although the distributional implications are different. All of the policies result in substantial increases in social welfare.Classification-JEL: Q42, Q48, Q54, Q58

- dp-14-04 Distributional Consequences of Public Policies: An Example from the Management of Urban Vehicular Travel Abstract: This paper uses a spatially disaggregated computable general equilibrium model of a large US metropolitan area to compare two kinds of policies, "Live Near Your Work" and taxation of vehicular travel, that have been proposed to help further the aims of "smart growth." Ordinarily, policy comparisons of this sort focus on the net benefits of the two policies; that is, the total monetized net welfare gains or losses to all citizens. While the aggregate net benefits are certainly important, in this analysis we also disaggregate these benefits along two important dimensions: income and location within the metropolitan area. The resulting identification of gainers and losers with these policies, though undoubtedly important to matters such as fairness and political feasibility, are rarely made. We find that these distributional effects are quite sensitive to the details of policy design. Classification-JEL: R13, R48, R52

- dp-13-13-efd Reputation and Household Recycling Practices: Field Experiments in Costa Rica Abstract: Pro-environmental behavior is the willingness to cooperate and contribute to environmental public goods. A good understanding of why individuals undertake pro-environmental actions is important in order to construct policies that are aligned with preferences and actual behavioral patterns, such as concern for social esteem and reputation. In this paper, we present the results of a framed field experiment that explores reputation formation as a driver in support of household recycling practices. We use a "shame" and a "pride" treatment to test which is more effective, if at all, in increasing recycling effort. We find that reputational concerns indeed play a role in shaping individual pro-environmental behavior. Surprisingly, subjects cooperate more if the situation is framed as avoiding shame (bad reputation) rather than as acquiring pride and gratitude (good reputation). The actual experiment is based on a real recycling program, with participants who are heads of urban households in Costa Rica

- dp-12-11-efd Deforestation and forest degradation are estimated to account for between 12 percent and 20 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions. These activities, largely in the developing world, released about 5.8 Gt per year in the 1990s, which was more than all forms of transport combined. The idea behind REDD+ is that payments for sequestering carbon can tip the economic balance away from loss of forests and in the process yield climate benefits. Recent analysis has suggested that developing country carbon sequestration can effectively compete with other climate investments as part of a cost-effective climate policy. This paper focuses on opportunities and complications associated with bringing community-controlled forests into REDD+. About 25 percent of developing country forests are community controlled; therefore, it is difficult to envision a successful REDD+ program without coming to terms with community controlled forests. It is widely agreed that REDD+ offers opportunities to bring value to developing country forests, but there are also concerns related to insecure and poorly defined community forest tenure, informed by often long histories of government unwillingness to meaningfully devolve ownership rights to communities. Further, because communities are complicated systems, there is also concern that REDD+ could destabilize existing well-functioning community forestry systems

OpenOffice.org 3.2 Gets its 29 Millionth Download
Popular open source productivity a154 million downloads since version 3.0
Opensource-news.com announced that OpenOffice.org hit a new benchmark for the popular Microsoft Office alternative: 29 million downloads. Data pulled from MirrorBrain, OpenOffice.org's download page confirms that OpenOffice.org has been downloaded 29,283,218 times since version 3.20. What's more, the OpenOffice.org suite has been downloaded more than 154 million times since version 3.0.
Version 3.2.1 was released a few days ago, marking the first release under sponsorship by Oracle. Largely a bigfix release, the feature documentation from 3.20 still applies.
we can't know
This is a good indicator globally of the popularity.
It's very encouraging to see floss gaining traction like this.
Many people hear about it this way: "you can download it and don't have to pay!"
But there could be system admins downloading OOo and installing it on hundreds of client pc's.
Or people with multiple computers at home who download it once and used the file to install on all of them.
The other side is of course people who have downloaded it, may or may not have tried it and don't use it.
About the Linux distro. This clearly shows there needs to be some standardized api for sharing download numbers easily and efficiently over the web.
This could really add to the accuracy and interesting Linux numbers.
How much of those downloads are from linux users?There is no information regarding the number of downloads for windows or for macs or for linux. >As such this information is just not useful for anything, we cannot even tell if windows users are switching to openoffice.
Windows & Mac UsersThat will be 29,283,218 of Mac and Microsoft users that don't use Linux for their OS
sureYou're totally true. And don't forget the mirror not tracked and the derivatives like go-oo. We can add almost another 50 milions to that figure to be near the true numbers
Linux repositoriesI suppose the overall download total will be higher as most Linux users will be downloading OO.o from their distro's own repository?

Over The Hill
Crafty Pint / 21.06.12
At The Crafty Pint, we've been lucky enough to visit most of Australia's microbreweries. We've been to those with their own private beach, those with mountain views and those sharing grounds with wineries. Among our favourites is Red Hill, where the brewery, bar and cafe serving great beers and well-matched beer food are surrounded by trees in the middle of the owners' farm, and where you can park next to towering hop bines at the right time of the year. If you've not been, then you should. And if you plan to do so, you'd best get a move on, because after the Secret Stash weekend on July 21 and 22 the Golding family will be closing the bar and cafe to focus on brewing beer.
The decision has been finalised in the past few weeks since they returned from a holiday to Europe but has been under consideration for a couple of years. With their home backing onto the cafe, it has made it practically impossible to separate work and family life. As Karen says: "We can't have weekends like everyone else does as we've always got work there."
Quite what the next move will be is yet to be decided. Closing the cafe allows for room for more tanks to make use of their new bottling line. Alternatively, they are open to the idea of someone else coming in to run the bar and cafe. In the meantime, Karen says they are still likely to open on special occasions or for functions. They are also looking to provide some sort of alternative Red Hill Brewery outlet for those wanting to sample their beers when on the Peninsula.
"We've been talking to a couple of places about putting some of our beers on tap," says Karen. "There's one place where we're talking about putting on four beers and offering sample paddles so people can still sample our beers somewhere nice."
As for the brewing side, this move should allow them freedom to produce more new beers.
"We're really happy about it," says Karen. "It's a sad decision but we really want a break from it and really want the energy to be excited about pushing forward in a new direction. [With the current situation] we couldn't really move forward with anything; the cafe is stuck at the size it is, the brewery is stuck at the size it is so we were very limited unless we made some very dramatic changes."
With this year's Imperial Stout and the limited release Jubilee IPA out now and this year's Weizenbock on its way – plus new packaging in the pipeline – there's plenty of Red Hill around with which to drown your sorrows or celebrate their decision. We'd just like to wish them well and hope to make it back for one last pint from the handpump before they shut up shop.
dave chef — 21 June at 05:53PM
Its a sad day for redhill brewery but maybe bigger and better things will come of it.:(
brendo — 22 June at 08:32AM
Will be missed
No sooner do we get another place serving real ale off the hand pump and we are waving goodbye.
kahlerisms — 22 June at 12:35PM
A sad day. One of my favourite places to drink and one of my favourite craft brewers. D + K have always been very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to what the closure will allow them to achieve beer wise and of course work/life balance is always a good thing.
justanotherbeernerd — 23 June at 06:53PM
WOW! brave decision. making more beer in a small market, up against growing competition, possibly killing off one of their best sales and marketing tools, not to mention shutting off a valuable revenue stream.
a lot of peoples first contact with RHB beers are at the brewery cafe itself, or through people who have been to the brewery. people who go there often walk away with an emotional attachment to the product, telling people not only to go to the brewery, but to track down and try the beers. the word of mouth that the cafe has created over the years, i feel, is one of the mains reasons for the business's success. don't get me wrong, the beers are great too. i don't know of too many breweries that wouldn't kill for that cafe attached to their brewhouse.
i hope it works, cause i really like the RHB beers.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) --The military says Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James is slated to visit the Minot Air Force Base on Wednesday.
James is the service's top civilian official and has been on the job for about a month.
James says 34 missile launch officers have been implicated in a cheating scandal and three others have been implicated in a drug probe, the latest missteps by those who maintain and operate the nation's 450 nuclear missiles.
James has said she will travel to each of the Air Force's three nuclear missile bases this week on a fact-finding mission to learn more about conditions within the missile launch force and the more senior officers who manage them.

What is a special occasion? Is it a wedding? A dinner party? A birthday? We guess a special occasion is whatever you want it to be, but one thing we know is they tend to be more expensive than 'normal' occasions!

EAGLE NEST, N.M. (AP) - Ice fishing has opened at Eagle Nest Lake in northern New Mexico.
The Game and Fish Department and State Parks Division started allowing anglers on the lake Saturday after determining that the ice was safe for foot traffic.
However, snowmobiles and other vehicles are prohibited from being on the ice.
State officials urged anglers to stay away from any open water and cautioned that the 2,200-acre lake could close if ice conditions become unsafe.
The lake is about 30 miles east of Taos.

Passing Grades
But if all the truck's taillights are out, then it falls below both the FMCSA regulations and the CVSA OOSC. The driver can be ticketed, and the truck will be parked. "The violation is so severe we can't even allow the truck back out on the road," Mooney says. "At that point the driver has to call road service, or we'll have it towed to the nearest location where the problem can be repaired."
If the driver can fix the problem on the spot, then the truck will be allowed to roll. "Even working here at the training center, I still carry extra lights, bulbs, headlights and a serpentine belt, because it's a lot easier if there's something you can fix yourself rather than waiting an hour for someone to bring the parts," says Fortun. "And it's a lot cheaper than having a mechanic come out and charge you by the mile and the hour."
The driver must wait until after the inspection to make even minor repairs, if he or she knows how. If you can't make the repairs yourself, get an exact description of the out-of-service violation from the inspector before calling breakdown or road service. "The driver should be able to tell the mechanic what the problem is," Fortun says. "For example, instead of saying 'the thing right next to the steering axle,' you're talking about the drag link connecting the pitman arm to the upper steering arm."
But if the truck is found in violation of FMCSA regulations, the violations must be fixed "within a reasonable amount of time, at his next stop," Mooney says. "I'll stop a vehicle, and the driver will say, 'I was just inspected last week, and I was allowed to proceed,' and he'll show me a list of 10 violations."
Five of the first six items in level one and two inspections, and most of a level three inspection, focus on the driver and documents. "You want to make sure you have any and all paperwork and your logbook up to date to the last change of duty," Fortun says. "BOL, scale receipts, anything and everything pertaining to the load." It helps to know where proof of insurance, registration for the truck and trailer, and any necessary permits can be found. Out-of-date or missing documents can usually be updated or replaced on the spot by fax. It is also reassuring, during any of these three inspections, to know the permit book is complete and up to date because you checked it at the last terminal.
"Some of the most common mistakes are logbook mistakes," Fortun says. "The logbook is a legal document that shows where you were at what time. If your logbook says you were in Chicago at 6 a.m., and you get pulled over three hours away at 7:30, the inspector is going to know darn well somebody isn't doing their logbook correctly." Inspectors have also been known to check logbooks against the times stamped on fuel, scale and toll receipts. A half hour off here and there might not be a problem. But more than an hour off is likely to be cited, and inspectors commonly park drivers in scale-house parking lots for 10 hours if they're past the 11-hour rule.
CVSA: 'There to Help'
"A lot of drivers and companies don't know what the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance is," says Vu Nguyen, CVSA marketing and technology director. "It's a non-profit organization. We are in the know of all the latest safety initiatives. Companies of 10 power units or less can join the alliance for $250 a year. More than 10, it's $550. They'll get safety bulletins and contact information for CVSA people within different law enforcement organizations, so they'll have contacts to help them deal with problems or get information.
"This saves money all the time. If your truck is on the side of the road needing permits or repairs, CVSA can help. If you get one violation and get put out of service, it's going to cost more than $250 in repairs, missed freight and road service.
"CVSA is a network of people who are there to help. If you get involved with the program, you'll get your money back 10 times over. We have over 450 associate members."

Secrets to becoming a great leader
Secrets to becoming a great leader
Efficient and effective leadership is one of the most valued abilities in the world. Leadership is key to managing everything from community leagues to entire nations, but not all leaders actually fill their role well or hold the respect of their followers. Some would argue that leadership ability is an inherited trait while others may argue that leadership is a learned skill: Nature versus nurture. While there are some inherited traits that will help an individual become a successful leader, the most successful leadership skills are learned. In fact, there are several crucial lessons that anyone can learn which have transformed the meekest souls into some of history's most noteworthy leaders.

My personal criteria for "good" eczema ointment are:
1. It has to be inexpensive
2. It has to have good consistency in texture
Aquaphor Healing Ointment meets the above two criteria. It's not my first choice of eczema ointment for a few reasons (explained under "Cons"), but when my skin is extra dry in the winter months, nothing gets the job done like Aquaphor.
1. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg
Say what you will about commercial moisturizers, but when eczema is as chronic and long-term as mine, it costs quite a bit of money and time just to maintain an "acceptable" level of skin. Natural, organic moisturizers tend to cost a lot more and they also don't give me enough to cover all my dry skin. In order to determine if a moisturizer is going to work, I have to be able to use it for more than a few days, so it can't be too cost prohibitive.
To me, commercial moisturizers such as Aquaphor is perfectly adequate for controlling my dry skin. One of the biggest reasons is because of its cost.
The standard 3.5 oz jar costs around 8 bucks, which isn't too bad, but what I recommend is getting the big 14 oz jar for around $17. That lasts quite a bit, at least enough to see that it works.
2. It moisturizes... like no other!
Aquaphor's thick and heavy consistency is meant for the most stubborn of dry skin. Therefore, I don't find it appropriate as an "everyday" emollient once I'm past the stage where my skin is falling off in flakes. But it has worked wonders for my wind-chapped or overly dry, flaky skin. I can usually see the result within a couple days of applying.
1. It's really thick and greasy
Aquaphor has the texture and the consistency of a petroleum jelly by Vaseline. This makes is hard to go to sleep while Aquaphor is applied to my skin, unless I brace myself for sticking onto my sheets (not to mention having to wash them the next day). Also, the same reason makes it hard to wear any of my "good" clothes.
Because of its thickness, it takes a long time to apply to the whole body, unlike a more fluid lotion.
2. It smells medicinal
The smell isn't something I mind as much, but I thought other people might. The product's description says it is free of fragrance, but that doesn't mean there is no smell!
My skin is usually pretty dry to the touch; it doesn't have that supple softness that can be found in normal skin. But it doesn't actually come off in flakes everyday - that only occurs during the winter months when the humidity is at its lowest.
When I wake up in the morning and my sheets look like I have been rolling in oatmeal flakes all night, that's when I know a strong eczema ointment like Aquaphor comes in.
I usually apply it after I take a bath/shower, so I can lock in the moisture. I do this couple hours before bed so I don't have to feel all icky when I lie down. After I apply it to my entire body, I put on something comfortable like a pajama and do something that would take the mind off my skin, such as surfing the net or reading. It's important to not lean against something because the entire backside sticking to my clothes can feel not-so-comfortable.
After my extremely dry skin is under control (i.e. I no longer shed like a cat) within a few days of using Aquaphor, I generally go back to my main moisturizer, which is lighter and easier to apply. But I still keep Aquaphor handy in a 0.7 oz pack so I can nip any signs of dryness in the bud.
Definitely one eczema ointment I recommend and is worth a shot!

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Seton has caring dedicated teachers that really know my two kids. I like that the other students seem well behaved and respectful to students and teachers whenever I am visiting...a big difference from our last school. And the academics are strong. Testing days are not big productions and the teachers don't get my kids stressed out over them. Love it! Well worth my investment in my kids education.
My boys and I have loved Seton for the past 13 years! What a great education they are receiving! Their test ratings are the best in the area, financial aid is available and the teachers are dedicated and hard working. The school day is from 755-245, longest in our area but worth the time, effort and commitment. Values, hard work and academics are rewarded and saluted. Thank goodness our area has the Seton Option!
We have found Seton Academy to be a wonderful family-oriented school. Their academic standard are very high and the teachers are caring and supportive.
The school has a great academic record, the students do service for the community and those in need, and the parents and students are very cooperative.
This is a very family oriented school with small class sizes and excellent teachers. Our family loves this school.

An American Jew in Israel
Israeli Independence Day (Yom Ha'Atzmaut) is only a month away! Through the lively and engaging letters of Zipporah "Zippy" Porath, a young American woman who was studying at Hebrew University in 1947, we will explore the joy and the heartbreak that led up to Israel's statehood and examine the role that gender played in one woman's Zionist experience.
Queen Esther and Bella Abzug: Costumes, Leadership, and IdentityThroughout history, activists have chosen different costumes and personas as strategic tools to help them stand up against injustice. Examine how the biblical figure Esther and the historical figure Bella Abzug fought for justice and liberation by adopting personas that helped them to achieve their goals. JWA staff will demonstrate ways to use the stories of these women in your classrooms as you prepare for Purim.

He makes some small talk, then he pulls a knife.
That is the modus operandi of the man that robbed four Salt Lake City businesses and one in Millcreek from March to July, and police want the public's help capturing him.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
He hit Seagull Book on 1140 E. Brickyard Road on March 18 and Heritage Day Cleaning at 909 E. 2700 South on March 29. On April 16, he robbed Express Cleaners at 2945 E. 3300 South, then went down the street on May 29 and robbed Ma and Paws at 1227 E. 3300 South — the Millcreek business, according to a news release.
His latest robbery was July 22 at Game Stop on 2263 S. Highland Drive, the release adds.
The suspect, a man who appears to be in his 20s with a heavy build and short brown hair, left each robbery on foot. He wore a purple baseball cap decorated with the letters "TCU" and carried a satchel-type bag slung from his shoulders in most of the robberies, according to the release.
Salt Lake City police could not immediately confirm if the letters stand for Texas Christian University.
If anyone knows his whereabouts, he or she can call the Salt Lake City police at 801-799-3000 or the Unified Police Department at 801-743-7000. People can also tip the police anonymously by texting TIPSLCPD plus the information to CRIMES (274637), with the reference "serial robber."

Review: Papa Palheta Specialty Coffee
UPDATE, December 2012: While the coffee still exists, it's now being served at Chye Seng Huat Hardware and the address below is no longer current. Instead head to 150 Tyrwhitt Road, or contact them on 6396 0609.
Describing a cafe as a hidden gem sounds like such a cliche, but it really is a fitting description for Singapore's Papa Palheta Specialty Coffee. In fact, Papa Palheta isn't a cafe at all (they don't actually have a license to sell food or drinks) but an independent coffee roaster with staff who'll make you a "sample cup" of their perfect java for a tip.
A world away from the shopping malls filled with chain coffee shops, Papa Palheta is located in an residential neighbourhood along Bukit Timah Road. You enter from the back of the building where there's an open door with "come on in to have the most important drink of the day" handwritten on it.
The ambiance at Papa Palheta is very intimate with only a handful of tables in the air-con sitting area and a small courtyard. Adding to the feeling that you're having coffee in someone's home is the fact there is no menu. To get a drink, find your way to the espresso bar where a sign will indicate the coffee blend of the day or ask the barista for a recommendation. They can make any espresso-based drink — cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, long blacks — or drip coffee. Similarly, there are no prices and payment is on a tipping basis with a suggested amount of S$4-6 for a drink, depending on its complexity.
Papa Palheta also sells a range of premium espresso makers, grinders and other coffee-related gadgets that are displayed along the coffee bar. If you stop by when they aren't too busy, the baristas can give you a demonstration of the different brewing methods like the French press, coffee dripper and syphon (the one that looks like something a mad scientist would use). Of course, Papa Palheta also sells their coffee and after all the trouble of finding the place you might as well take home a bag of their fair-trade beans. The coffee costs around S$15 for a 250 gram bag with different blends and single-origin coffees available each week.
At Papa Palheta it's all about the coffee and no food or other drinks are available. If you're looking for a more traditional cafe, try their partner Loysel's Toy: The Coffee Crafters which brews Papa Palheta coffee but also offers baked goodies and sandwiches. Loysel's Toy is also more kid-friendly and has babycinos (frothed milk) on the menu.
Papa Palheta topped the list of my choices for "Singapore's best coffee shops".
Papa Palheta Specialty Coffee
140 Bukit Timah Road (enter from the back)
Open Tuesday–Friday 09:00-18:00, Saturday & Sunday 09:00-17:30
Closed every Monday for roasting

Elk Shot Dead in Ottawa
Canada's Capital, Where Wildlife So Needlessly Dies
Earlier this month, an elk was found wandering in a wooded area in Canada's capital city of Ottawa. Elk were extirpated from Ontario by the end of the 19th century. This animal apparently wandered in from a small herd maintained for hunters, a few hundred kilometers away. Although transected by many natural wildlife corridors and containing lots of good habitat, Ottawa is a deadly place for wildlife: a sort of Texas north. It's as though the dogmatically anti-environmental, anti-wildlife policies of our current and lamented Ottawa-based federal government somehow leech into municipal policy-making.
The people of Ottawa seem as good and decent as any, and when the elk was seen, there was no concern. According to eye-witness accounts, the big animal was well contained in a safe environment for three hours where it was ideally situated to be tranquilized, had the equipment and properly trained people been available. Sadly, the animal started to show signs of stress (Do you blame him?) and the police were instructed by the usual crew of "wildlife managers" to shoot him.
The police are not wildlife experts and should not have to take the blame for Ottawa's chronically lethal policies. Telling the police that they had no choice but to shoot the elk is part of an overall mindset that, while not representative of the public, is all too representative of the city's wildlife management policies overall.
On March 24, 1975, in Ottawa (ironically), the federal government formally declared the beaver "a symbol of sovereignty." However, Ottawa's beavers are trapped and killed in large numbers: 150 killed last year by the city alone, plus others in adjoining areas. But, they don't have to be. If they cause problems by blocking waterways, there are excellent long-term solutions in the form of easily-maintained devices that simply prevent the animals from blocking water flow. But, the Ottawa mindset for dealing with wildlife that dares to intrude ranges from killing to… killing. Their "Wildlife Strategy," put in force earlier this year, was supposed to change all of that—but what Cynthia Jacobson and Daniel Decker have referred to as "the iron triangle" instead prevailed. Jacobson, with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Decker, with Cornell University's Department of Natural resources, wrote, "The relationship between bureaucrats, policy makers and interest groups has been referred to as an iron triangle… because it is thought to be an enduring network of like-minded interests impenetrable by outsiders… the iron triangle relationship between resource management agencies, traditional commodity users, and policy makers." It prevents outsiders—the majority of tax payers—from the decision and policy-making processes pertaining to wildlife.
And, as retired professor of psychology, Bob Altemeyer, states of such folks: "They are highly submissive to established authority, aggressive in the name of that authority and conventional to the point of insisting everyone should behave as their authorities decide." (See: http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians.pdf)
Few people have all of those traits, but they do tend to describe too many of the bureaucrats I've met in wildlife management fields. The concern was that responses to wildlife issues in Ottawa were within the "iron triangle" of the City's by-law department, the National Capital Commission (NCC), and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR). There may be some progressive and compassionate thinkers in all of the groups, and maybe even in the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, which "is responsible for ensuring that the unique interests and requirements of the City's rural areas are taken into account in the decisions made by the City of Ottawa." But, if they're there, they are not influential. The NCC reportedly tried to tranquilize the elk, but its failure to do so underscores the need for an effectively trained and equipped response team. The best response is usually to control the people, leave the "intruding" animal alone, and clear a corridor for its departure.
The irony is that the public is increasingly wary of even reporting such animals as deer, bear, or other wildlife that, while not dangerous per se, can certainly pose a risk to humans or to property if they wander into the city (which they inevitably do). Indeed, the City of Ottawa and the NCC should have also been wary of killing this animal because he was one of a few hundred elk wandering the Bancroft landscape, not too far away, and already suffering the lethal attention of hunters. Under any other circumstances, the OMNR would have declared the animal part of an endangered elk population, descended from animals introduced to replace the ones wiped out over a century ago, and needful of protection. But, being part of the iron triangle dictates pretzel-like arguments about why the few hundred elk somehow benefit greatly by being shot by hunters.
I am so grateful that in Toronto, near where I live, there are more progressive approaches to wildlife-human interactions, including many of those enacted by our very thoughtful, open, and transparent Toronto Region Conservation Authority. It's not perfect—debates and even rancor can occur—but folks in the Greater Toronto Area don't automatically reach for traps and guns in our dealings with wild animals. Maybe it's our distance from the sadly anti-environment federal government that makes the difference. I don't live in Ottawa, and I don't know how to drag it into the 21st Century—but I hope it happens soon.

How to be unpredictable
Humans are creatures of habit, and no matter what we try to do we fall into patterns of behavior. Sometimes one of the most comforting things about a person can be their predictability – if we know how our boss will react to a certain situation, or when we can predict how our siblings will support us in a decision. However, when you're trying to attract someone or make changes to an existing relationship, a little unpredictability can go a long way. Changing things up can get the interesting men in your life – the ones whose eyes you've wanted to catch for a long time – to take note and notice that something is different about you. Or, trying some new things in a relationship can break you and your man out of a stale routine that has developed over time.
Confident women are always pushing themselves to try new things, and it can be easy to fall into old patterns based on insecurities. But, with a little effort, learning how to be unpredictable can go a long way toward improving your life, strengthening your confidence, and getting you closer to life goals than you thought possible before.
Evaluate your routine
The main idea behind being unpredictable is to try something new, but what exactly does that mean? It can be something as simple as having a different side dish with dinner than what you usually have, or having lunch at a restaurant that's not your usual place; but those things will likely not lead to much overall change in your life or relationships. They can be good places to start to practice being unpredictable.
The first thing you need to do is establish what your routines are. Do you always take the same route? Do you always react the same way to situations? These are things that are probably so natural to you, you don't even notice when you're doing them.
For example, some people have short tempers and are quick to anger when something goes wrong. It becomes predictable to people around them that if something happens which might upset them, they will go from "0" to "angry" in no time flat. Therefore, those around them may try to keep them from being angry, or may suggest anger management tactics in order to help change this behavior. But the person who angers so quickly may not even realize that this is their typical pattern of behavior until someone points it out. They probably assume that they are just like everyone else – that everyone acts that way and is so quick to get mad.
First, try to make a list of behavior patterns you notice in yourself, or that others have pointed out to you. Has anyone ever said "Whenever you're upset you always …" or "You're like this every time you …"? Those are good places to start. Make a list of what you do when you're angry, sad, disappointed, joyful, excited, or any other emotion. Start noticing how you handle various situations at work and daily life to get an idea of where to begin.
How TO Be Unpredictable – Do Something Different
Now that you've gathered this information on yourself, what do you do with it all?
First of all, it's very difficult to change behavior patterns as a whole, so don't expect that you'll be able to make a switch overnight. Again, you may think that you are just "naturally" that way and you can't be any other way. The first few times you try to do something differently it will feel uncomfortable, awkward, probably anxiety provoking. That is totally normal, and it won't be easy to get past.
Pick one of the things on your list that you'd like to work on – something that you'd like to be less predictable about. Maybe, when you're sad you always overeat to help you feel better. Or maybe when you have had a bad day at work you always want to watch your favorite movie to make yourself smile. Starting with something small like this can make it a little easier. For the items on your list that you choose to work on, come up with some alternatives that you can do the next time the situation comes up.
Instead of overeating when you are sad, you could try going for a walk, calling a friend to talk, or doing chores around the house. When you've had a bad day at work, try going to the gym, drawing or sketching an interesting local spot, or taking a long hot bath with a book or magazine. Doing something different may not make you feel the exact same as it normally does – but that's the point. It will begin to change your brain chemistry and help you realize that other ways of dealing with the same-old problems can make you a more versatile person.
Taking It To The Next Level
Once you've begun to break out of old behavior patterns – working through the discomfort and trying new things on for size until they don't feel so awkward – you can try to become truly unpredictable and spontaneous. Opening yourself up to trying new things and getting out of old habits can make it easier for you to try even more new things when someone suggests them, or when you're introduced to them. Confident people are always looking to try new things and push their boundaries to new places, often finding out that they are capable of things they hadn't thought of before. Making yourself unpredictable and open to trying these new things can make you more confident, and in trying them your confidence in yourself can increase. It's a self-strengthening cycle that others will certainly notice.
