4 PRESENTATION The production of energy from alternative sources and its impact on climate change are among the main strategic tools implicated in the sustainable development of our society. Numerous types of biomass and wastes contribute towards the production of energy and reduction in the use of fossil fuels by means of biological, chemical and thermal processes. Existing biomass and waste to energy technologies are currently undergoing rapid development. Despite growing interest in the use of these technologies, in many countries their implementation remains limited. Advances in the application of technologies for energy recovery from biomass and waste will represent central debate topics of the fourth edition of the Venice Symposia. The following sub-topics will also be discussed: combustion, anaerobic digestion, biomass to energy, alternative thermal treatments, strategies and policies, other waste-to-energy options. Particular attention will be paid to the characteristics of combustible products generable from different approaches: SRF, biochar, biodiesel and other products suitable for a decentralized exploitation of the energy content of waste and biomass. PRESENTAZIONE La produzione di energia da fonti alternative ed il suo impatto sui cambiamenti climatici sono tra i principali strumenti strategici implicati nello sviluppo sostenibile della nostra società. Numerose tipologie di biomasse e rifiuti contribuiscono, a seguito di processi biologici, chimici e termici, alla produzione di energia e alla riduzione dell utilizzo di combustibili fossili. Le tecnologie esistenti per la generazione di energia da biomasse e rifiuti sono oggi in rapido sviluppo ma nonostante l interesse crescente nell utilizzo di tali tecnologie, in molti paesi la loro implementazione è ancora limitata. Il tema centrale della quarta edizione del Simposio saranno le innovazioni introdotte nell applicazione delle tecnologie per il recupero di energia da biomasse e rifiuti. Verranno dettagliatamente discussi i seguenti argomenti: combustione, digestione anaerobica, energia da biomassa, trattamenti termici alternativi, legislazione e strategie politiche, energia da rifiuti. Particolare attenzione sarà inoltre posta sulle caratteristiche dei prodotti combustibili generabili da diversi processi quali SRF, biochar, biodiesel e tutti gli altri prodotti che permettono un utilizzo decentralizzato del contenuto energetico di biomassa e rifiuti. 4
5 THE SYMPOSIUM STRUCTURE The Symposium is structured in oral sessions, a poster session, an exhibition by companies and institutions working in the field, and technical tours. Oral presentations are organized in six parallel tracks, for a total of 62 sessions during which over 250 presentations will be delivered. Poster papers will be presented in an appropriate session, which will always be accessible to Symposium delegates, and discussed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Papers were selected according to quality by the Symposium Executive Programme Committee and an International Committee from over 570 offers of papers from 70 different countries. All papers are presented in English; in addition, eight sessions held entirely in Italian will contribute to the dissemination of key contents at a national level. STRUTTURA DEL SIMPOSIO Il Simposio è organizzato in sessioni orali, una sessione poster, un esposizione commerciale dedicata a ditte ed enti che operano nel settore, e visite tecniche. Le presentazioni orali sono organizzate in sei sessioni parallele durante le quali verranno discussi più di 250 lavori. Le presentazioni poster saranno invece esposti in una sessione appropriata sempre accessibile ai partecipanti del Simposio e saranno discussi nelle mattine di lunedì, martedì e mercoledì. I lavori selezionati sono stati scelti in base alla loro qualità scientifica dalla Commissione Esecutiva di Programma e da una Commissione Internazionale fra oltre 570 abstracts arrivati da 70 diversi paesi.

Talk to us about diabetes

Talk to someone about diabetes
Knowing the facts about diabetes is important when it comes to managing the condition. There is so much information out there, but it is not all true. It is often difficult to know what is right and what is not. This section aims to help dispel some of the most common myths about diabetes – let's have a look at some of them...
There is no such thing as mild diabetes. All diabetes is serious and, if not properly controlled, can lead to serious complications.
Having diabetes does not mean you have to have a sugar-free diet. People with diabetes should follow a healthy balanced diet – that is low in fat, salt and sugar. You should still be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods, including some with sugar.
'Diabetic' labelling tends to be used on sweets, biscuits and similar foods that are generally high in fat, especially saturated fat and calories. Diabetes UK does not recommend eating 'diabetic' foods, including diabetic chocolate, because they still affect your blood glucose levels, they are expensive and they can give you diarrhoea. So, if you are going to treat yourself, you should go for the real thing.
Although diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people of working age in the UK, research has proved you can reduce your chances of developing diabetes complications – such as damage to your eyes – if you:
Providing you are responsible and have good control of your diabetes, research shows that people with diabetes are no less safe on the roads than anyone else. Nevertheless, the myth that people with diabetes are not safe persists.
Diabetes UK is working with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in England, Scotland and Wales and the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland to ensure that the process for applying and reapplying for driving licences is fair, safe and transparent.
People with diabetes are encouraged to exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping active can help reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease. Steve Redgrave, Olympic gold medal-winning rower, has achieved great sporting achievements in spite of having diabetes.
However, there may be some considerations to take into account before taking up a new exercise regime. Talk to your healthcare team for more information.
Not true. While there is some medical research that may suggest people with diabetes are at higher risk of developing illnesses, there's nothing to prove this conclusively. But there are certain illnesses that are more common in people with diabetes, and diabetes may also alter the course of an illness – for example, a person with diabetes may become more unwell or be unwell for longer than a person without diabetes.
Having diabetes should not stop you from getting and keeping a job. However, despite the Equality Act 2010 (Disability Discrimination Act in Northern Ireland), people with diabetes still face blanket bans in some areas of employment, including the armed forces. Diabetes UK campaigns to lift discriminatory blanket bans.
Many flight socks carry the warning that they are not suitable for people with diabetes. If you have any circulatory problems or complications with your feet, such as ulcers, then speak to your GP before using them. If, however, your feet and legs are generally healthy and you are normally active, using flight socks is unlikely to do you any harm.
People sometimes think that if they have diabetes they can't eat grapes and bananas as they taste sweet. But if you eat a diet that includes these fruits, you can still achieve good blood glucose control. In fact, grapes and bananas, like all fruit, make a very healthy choice.
Fruit is high in fibre, low in fat and full of vitamins and minerals. It helps to protect against heart disease, cancer and certain stomach problems.
Not true: the general advice on toenail cutting applies to everyone. If you have diabetes you should keep your nails healthy by cutting them to the shape of the end of your toes. Don't cut them straight across, curved down the sides, or too short. Remember, your nails are there to protect your toes.
It is safest to trim your nails with a pair of nail clippers and to use an emery board to file the corners of your nails. If it is difficult for you to care for your nails, you should seek help from a podiatrist.
It is important to realise that there is a lot of misinformation out there. Make sure you get your information from reliable sources, such as your diabetes healthcare team or Diabetes UK.
Of course. People with diabetes travel all over the world – you do not need to choose special holidays or curb your wander lust. The key is making the right preparations to minimise any potential problems and have an enjoyable safe trip.
Having diabetes can affect both existing policies and many new policies that you might choose. Tell your insurance company that you have diabetes because, if you don't, it may make your insurance invalid. Shop around for the best deal.
Diabetes UK Insurance Services has been set up as a result of the many enquiries we receive from people with diabetes who have trouble getting some insurance products. These policies are also available for people without diabetes. For every policy sold an amount is donated to Diabetes UK.
Managing your diabetes can at times seem incredibly demanding and some people find that support and encouragement can be really beneficial in helping them cope. Support should ideally come from someone you have regular contact with, maybe your partner, a friend, or someone from your healthcare team.
Ask your healthcare team about any support groups in your area. Diabetes UK Careline and local Diabetes UK groups can also provide support and information.
NHS guidelines recommend that people with diabetes be offered patient education programmes, known as structured education. All people with diabetes should receive the education and support they need to equip them with the necessary information and skills to manage their diabetes. Discuss with your healthcare team about suitable courses available in your area.
None of our much-needed work would be possible without your kind support, so please, make a donation now.

* Putin hopes for positive impact on ties with U.S.
* Foreign minister wants ties on equal footing
* PM glad president does not see Russia as main foe
MOSCOW, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday welcomed U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election and said he hoped it would have a positive impact on relations with the United States.
Despite Obama's call for a "reset" in ties with Russia, relations have been strained by differences over issues ranging from missile defence to human rights and the conflict in Syria. But Moscow had been wary of Republican Mitt Romney's campaign remark that Russia was the United States' top geopolitical foe.
"Overall the Kremlin welcomes the news of Barack Obama's victory in the elections," Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told Interfax news agency.
"We express hope that the positive beginnings in bilateral relations and in international cooperation between Russian and the United States, in the interest of international security, will develop and improve."
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who was Russia's president for much of Obama's current term, made clear he was glad that he had defeated Romney.
"For us, he (Obama) is an understandable and predictable partner. That is the most important thing in politics," Medvedev was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies during a visit to Vietnam.
"I am happy that the president of a very big, very influential state is not a man who considers Russia to be its enemy number one. That is funny. It's some kind of paranoia."
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia was open to cooperating with Obama's new administration but underlined that it expects its former Cold War enemy to deal with it as an equal partner.
"We will continue to work with this administration," Lavrov was quoted as saying by RIA news agency in an interview with the Moskovskiye Novosti newspaper. "We are ready, on the basis of mutual equality, mutual profit and mutual respect ... to go as far as the U.S. administration is willing to go."

THE RSPCA is appealing for information after three birds were found dead with suspected shot wounds on the Walton Backwaters.
The bodies of a pair of mute swans and a black-headed gull were all found floating by the side of the river by a passing boatsman on the evening of July 1. The birds were all covered in what appeared to be multiple shot wounds and had become caught in the bushes.
RSPCA inspector Sarah Elmy said it was unlikely the killings were accidental.
She said: "This feels like quite a sinister incident.
"The reports are that there were shot wounds all over the birds' bodies – including the head.
"They were found drifting to the side of the water all together.
"It seems that someone must have gone out here to shoot birds with intent.
"The three dead birds were found too close to each other for this to be an accident, and these backwaters are not areas where people are likely to be just passing with a weapon."
Anyone with information, or who saw what happened, is urged to contact the RSPCA on 03001 238018.

Is DC v Heller a Roe v Wade for our times?
Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
In 1972, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Roe v Wade 410 US 113 (1973) (Findlaw | Justicia | Oyez | wikipedia), which held the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution protects the (penumbral) right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy. It was a controversial decision which demonstrated that the Court was at the vanguard of the dominant public political mood. The Court was sharply divided; the case was decided on the basis of contestable constitutional theory; and it has subsequently given rise to a huge amount of analysis and scholarship, as well as much partisan social commentary and political scheming.
In 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States decided US v Heller 554 US __ (2008) (official pdf | Findlaw report) (Balkinization | Mike O'Shea on Concurring Opinions | NRA | Posner | ScotusWiki | Volokh | Wikipedia), which held that the Second Amendment to the US Constitution protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. As with Roe, it, too, was a controversial decision which demonstrated that the Court was at the vanguard of the dominant public political mood. Again, the Court was sharply divided; the case was decided on the basis of contestable constitutional theory; and it has already given rise to a huge amount of analysis and scholarship, as well as much partisan social commentary and political scheming.
But there is one obvious difference between the two cases: whereas Roe stands as the highpoint of liberal judicial activism and reflects a then quite dominant liberal political perspective, Heller stands as a similar highpoint of conservative judicial activism and reflects a now very marked conservative political perspective.
These similarities and differences raise some important questions. For example, Roe became a rallying-point for legal, social and political opposition (update: backlash) to judicial and political liberalism; will Heller become a similar rallying-point for legal, social and political opposition to judicial and political conservatism? Moreover, views on the correctness of Roe have become a litmus test for Republican nominees to the Court; will Heller similarly become a litmus test for Democratic nominees to the Court?
Finally, if (and when?) there is a majority on the Court to reverse Roe, will they do it? Or will they baulk at such a naked exercise of judicial-political power? Or are there other judicial/political considerations afoot? Or will they realise that to overrule Roe simply because they disagree with its political underpinning would be to eviscerate the doctrine of precedent? If they do overrule Roe, then every decision of the Court is up for grabs, even the case that overrules Roe, and yes, even Heller!
5 Responses to "Is DC v Heller a Roe v Wade for our times?"
Roe created a right for a mother to end the life she sustains within her. The life is an unique individual, with it's only DNA that has never before existed and will nev.er naturally exist again. Even liberal legal scholars have stated that it is on shaky legal ground.
Heller interpreted a right in the 2nd Amendment in the way it has been interpreted since our founding. It was not a radical departure from the Constitution.
The issue is: Human life vs. legal personhood. The Roe, the 1973 Supreme Court did not consider the humanity of the child. No evidence was presented. Roe is based on 35-year-old evidence. We now have DNA evidence and medical technology, such as 4-D ulrasound. There is not doubt the unborn are human. The issue is whether they deserve the status of legal personhood.
Abortion has devalued life and our culture. We are the worse for it.
Agree with Anne about the substantive distinctions. Sadly, I think that a lot of Americans have not read the Constitution; they are frequently surprised, for example, to find out that there is no guarantee of privacy within the words.
As for Heller being a rallying point for liberals: probably not. Even Barack Obama said that he agreed with the decision (which may have been because most of the country did, too).
As another distinction, Heller may not be binding upon the states. If so, it is only a prohibition of Congressional action, which is in line with federalist principles. Many states have their own guarantees of the right to keep and bear arms, so it would be a moot point. (Most states, however, only have a statutory right to abortion.)
As for overruling Roe: it actually depends on the cases that come before the Court. If they are all cases like parental notification, banning partial-birth abortion, or regulating abortion clinics (which you would hope would happen anyway), then the justices will slowly chip away at Roe.
Scalia has spoken a fair amount about when it is acceptable to overrule precedent. His standards, which include workability of the precedent, would likely apply to Roe.
I think the great enigma of "interpretation" is what causes all of these problems and controversies in the first place. Most people see things in different ways.
[…] of the most controversial issues regularly before the Court (up there with abortion and guns) is affirmative action, especially in college admissions. At the end of last week, in Fisher v […]

Lawrence firefighters taking over EMT duties after cuts
LAWRENCE, Ind.
Starting Monday, the Lawrence Fire Department is handling all EMT duties after the city's 24 emergency medical technicians were laid off because of budget cuts.
The city says there won't be a disruption of service.
The mayor says the cuts are necessary and will save Lawrence nearly $2 million.
Firefighters are concerned that the ambulance runs may take precious time away from dangerous fire situations, leading to bigger fires because crews busy with EMT duties can't get to the scene sooner.

What happens when you match a team that likes to shoot the lights out against a defensive minded team? You get an ugly game where both teams combine to shoot 33% from the field and a #1 seed in the Tournament almost gets eliminated in the first round.
Heading into the game most basketball fans didn't Monmouth much of a chance because they were a #16 seed but the Hawks showed they belonged early on in this game. Monmouth showed why they hold Princeton to a NCAA record low of 21 points back in December by holding 'Nova to under 32% shooting and their third lowest point total of the seasons this afternoon.
While Monmouth did a great job of slowing down Villanova they were unable to get into any kind of a groove on the offensive end themselves. They missed their first 12 field goals and didn't make their first field goal until the 11:13 mark of the first half.
With eight minutes left in the first half things were looking bad for both teams as they had combined for 14 turnovers and 16 points. The teams finished the game with 31 turnovers and just 30 field goals.
With six minutes left to go in the game Villanova went through a stretch where they missed 10 of 11 shots which allowed Monmouth to enjoy one last rally. Monmouth's Dejan Delic scored nine straight points during this stretch which fueled a 13-3 run for Monmouth that allowed them to pull within seven at 47-40. That's as close as the Hawks would get as the Cats put the clamps down on Monmouth and coasted.
Ray Allen rebounded from his eye injury to score a game high 19 points. This is a guy that had his eye popped out of the socket and he was still able to lead all scorers in his first game back since the injury last week. He refused to play with goggles to protect his eyes because it interfered with his ability to see the rim - this guy has huge cajones and I now have a new favorite player in the Tournament.
Monmouth center John Bunch caused Nova headaches with his size and shot blocking. He's a 7'2 giant that was one of the top shot blockers in nation this year yet he only played 17 minutes today. When he was in the game 'Nova was unable to get anything in the paint and he provided them with a rebounding advantage.
