Leave it in the Ground: Drax Coal Train Halted
imc-uk-features | 13.06.2008 12:55 | Climate Chaos | Sheffield
On 13th June 2008 protestors halted a coal train carrying fuel for Drax power station in Yorkshire, the single biggest source of CO2 in the UK. Dressed in white overalls and canary outfits, the protestors used safety signals to stop the train on a bridge overlooking the power station, before climbing on board and dumping coal off onto the tracks.
The train was stopped on a branch line used exclusively for delivering coal to Drax. Protestors used a network of climbing ropes to suspend themselves under the bridge from the train to prevent the train from moving. After a number of hours, police began evicting the protestors. 29 arrests were reported.
The protest comes six weeks before the 2008 Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth power station - which will also highlight how using coal to supply energy will be a disaster for the planet. Meanwhile the UK Government has "eviscerated" the Climate Change Bill and abandoned 2°C maximum target for global temperature rise as scientists warn that a safe CO2 level might be a maximum of 350ppm — we are already at over 380ppm, the Arctic permafrost is melting and "we're seeing events predicted for the end of the 21st century happening already", according to Barry Brook.

Last September James Hansen, spelt out the situation with coal in a letter to Gordon Brown:
"The single greatest threat to the climate comes from burning coal. Coal-fired generation is historically responsible for most of the CO2 in the air today - responsible for about half of all carbon dioxide emissions globally"
Last month activists protested on proposed open cast coal mine site in Derbyshire under the banner Leave it in the Ground

A giant Indian company that has bought up famous British firms such as Jaguar, Land Rover and Tetley Tea is to get hundreds of millions of pounds in "green" subsidies to build one of the world's biggest coal-fired power stations.
Tata will receive huge sums from the West for building the power station in India, thanks to the carbon trading system established by the Kyoto treaty. Critics say the system makes a mockery of attempts to combat climate change.
When the plant near the port of Mundra, in Gujarat, becomes operational in 2011 it will emit 25.7m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – more CO2 than any power station in Britain.
Yet it will be classed by the United Nations as a source of "clean power". That means Tata will be able to sell surplus "carbon credits", established under the Kyoto treaty, to firms in the West. Energy groups will be able to buy the credits as an alternative to reducing CO2 emissions.

It is estimated Tata could earn £30m a year from such sales. It has already received more than £230m in soft loans from the World Bank to build the plant.
Tom Picken, head of international climate at Friends of the Earth, said: "This plant exposes how the World Bank's attempt to get involved in combating climate change is nothing but a farce.

The more probable offence is s36 of the same Act, as used against DSEi protesters:
"Whosoever, by any unlawful act, or by any wilful omission or neglect, shall obstruct or cause to be obstructed any engine or carriage using any railway, or shall aid or assist therein, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years."

In the Garden
My parents had a beautiful little garden filled with perennials and annuals of all types. I remember their hard work and the very charming results. Bright pink tulips alongside yellow daffodils in spring, big fluffy blue hydrangea mixed with pure white roses in summer. This garden "color wheel" was what first inspired my love of color.
An appreciation for this mix of color and a love of gemstones was what motivated me to open my shop. Color Garden Jewelry is just me, handcrafting jewelry in my home studio. I design and handcraft gemstone jewelry for women who like to express their individuality. Unique design, quality and the thrill of something beautiful are my goals.
I buy many of my supplies on etsy in support of the wonderful artistry found here.
I adore gemstones and many other beads.
My most beautiful creations are my two children and I am eternally grateful for them.
I hope you find something in my shop that you love. The highest quality of customer service will accompany your purchase.

One Identity Gets UK Distributor
One Identity has found a distribution partner for the UK: The company has announced that it has teamed up with Nuvias Cybersecurity Practice.
Headquartered in London, the latter is an IT solutions distributor that boasts of having 40 vendor partners across 20 countries in the EMEA region. Nuvias says it serves a network of 5,000 reseller partners, suggesting it will be able to dramatically extend the reach of One Identity, which offers digital identity and access management solutions for the enterprise.
In a statement announcing the partnership, One Identity EMEA Distribution Partnerships head Jon Gillies explained, "We are delighted to be working with Nuvias as we believe they can create value for us, by identifying and mobilising some of the best reseller partners to sell One Identity – as part of a joint plan to accelerate our EMEA business."
For Nuvias' part, Cybersecurity VP Ian Kilpatrick suggested that he anticipates considerable demand for One Identity's solutions from client organizations "challenged by the complexity of access management and the increasing regulatory demands being made upon them," adding that One Identity's solutions allow clients "to begin at one point and gradually roll out more integrated modules to build up a comprehensive, automated IAM system, which is suitable for on premises, hybrid and cloud use."
The partnership's announcements comes after One Identity's acquisition of Balabit, the provider of an access management platform with behavioral biometrics and digital auditing capabilities, near the start of the year.

Instructions for Research Assignment and Newspaper Op-Ed
Social Work and Violence
You may propose to focus your assignment on a specific form of violence experienced by men; however, please be advised that if your proposal is approved you must still use the assignment format below (including a consideration of why it is an important issue for feminists).
Pre-approved topics:
· Violence against women in the military
· Violence against homeless women
· Violence against incarcerated women
· Violence against welfare reliant women
· Violence against women sex workers
· Violence against older women (elder abuse)
· Violence against women with specific disabilities (e.g. mobility disabilities, hearing impairment, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, etc.)
· Violence against women in the workplace
· Intimate partner violence experienced by a specific LGBTQ+ population (select one of the following: gay men, lesbian women, bisexual men, bisexual women, transgender individuals).
· Sexual violence experienced by a specific LGBTQ+ population (select one of the following: gay men, lesbian women, bisexual men, bisexual women, transgender individuals).
· Hate crime violence perpetrated against individuals from a specific racialized population, a specific religious group, a specific LGBTQ+ population, or persons with specific disabilities
Part 1: Research Assignment
For the topic area selected, students are asked to conduct a review of the relevant research, conceptual, and theoretical scholarly literature on this topic addressing the following issues (as appropriate or relevant to the topic):
· Key concepts and/or definitions that may be needed for your reader to understand this issue
· Prevalence and scope of this form of violence (e.g. How common is this form of violence? Do we have a sense of how many women are likely to experience this form of violence?)
· Victims' experiences of this form of violence (e.g. What do we know about the characteristics of individuals who are most likely to experience this form of violence? Are there specific factors or circumstances that elevate the vulnerability to violence for some victims? What do we know about how this specific form of violence impacts the lives of the women who experience it?).
Please note: You are welcome to include qualitative data, narratives, or quotes from victims about their experiences of violence if you are able to find such data in public sources (such as qualitative research studies, personal blogs, media accounts, etc.)
· Overview of the state of research knowledge on this topic (e.g. Are there major topics, trends, or themes that emerge across the literature you've reviewed on this topic? Are there controversies in the field or points of contention? Are there significant gaps in the literature on this topic or things we still just don't know?)
· Significance of this issue for feminist anti-violence activists (e.g. Why is this form of violence an important area of concern for feminists? How might feminist anti-violence activists frame or approach this issue?)
· Significance of this issue for social workers (e.g. Why is this form of violence an important area of concern for social workers?
briefly to explain the central issue and provide a brief background of the issue. Remember, you are talking to the general public, not social workers, academics, or specialists in the field of violence. Assume that your reader is intelligent but has limited knowledge of the specific issue that you are raising. Avoid use of "jargon" if possible; if not, make sure that you explain any terms that might be unfamiliar to those in the general public.
· The evidence: Here is where you make your supporting arguments (aka why the reader should agree with you). Provide multiple pieces of "evidence" to make your case. Persuade your reader. Some people are persuaded by "the head" (statistics and research findings), other people are persuaded by "the heart" (stories, narratives, personal experiences that humanize an issue). Whatever evidence you choose to use, make it compelling.
· The rebuttal: Here is where you anticipate a counter-argument (aka why someone might not agree with you). Name it, and then tear it down! Why is the possible rebuttal flawed, based on inaccurate information or assumptions, or simply not relevant?
· The conclusion: This is your last chance to bring it home. Summarize your main points and emphasize what you want your reader to take away from your piece. Do you want them to think differently? Do you want to call on them to take a specific form of action?

The online free dating UK platform can be an exciting way of meeting other singles. However, some individuals can find the experience really overwhelming. With so many singles who can be contacted instantaneously, it might become quite challenging to know the best way to make contact and attract attention. The fact that there are several myths about online dating, which in many cases are curiously propagated by people who have never dated online, never helps matters either. One needs to be able to debunk some of these myths in order to attain the much desired success in online dating.
The main danger of opting for online dating, before debunking these major myths about the exercise is that; you may end up not taking it seriously or even feeling some tinge of guilt about it. This will definitely spoil the party.
The fact that you have signed up for an free online dating site makes it very clear to the entire world that you are either looking for love or a great date. As much as this should depict you as one who knows what he or she clearly wants, it might also lead other people to believe that you might be desperate. Such people think that tagging yourself as "AVAILABLE" out there is akin to peddling your lonely self in the marketplace, hoping to find love. They come from the traditional school of thought that believes love happens magically, like in the movies and fairy tales! However, nothing can be further from the truth.
A big number of people who choose the online platform to access completely free dating services don't do it as a last resort. Not that they don't have options in their social circles or even at their workplaces, to an extent that they desperately want to meet someone, anyone, to date. There is always a well thought out move to finally find the partner of their dreams, by casting their net wider. Since technology has made things easier, an online platform can easily take them to several places where they meet many interesting new people; a feat that is impossible to physically execute within a short period of time. It is all about increasing the options, by removing any limitations of who you can meet, as well as raising the bar.
Knowing what you want and going for it doesn't, by any means, make you desperate. If indeed love happens magically, the magic is even more interesting in the digital world. Who said that fairy tales cannot be digital? The beauty of free Dating online is that you never know the prospective match that you are going to meet. There is some mysterious adventurous spirit attached to this, making it even more exhilarating. It also makes it easier to approach people that you wouldn't have the guts to approach physically
There is a world of difference between hooking up in a bar and totally free online dating sites UK. In a bar things might not be as organized as they tend to be online. The fact that you can do online dating from the comfort of your home ensures that you are in your most comfortable clothes (nobody is scrutinizing your dress taste); you would probably be sunken in your favorite couch with a glass of wine at an arm's length; you don't have to wear makeup or any fake appearances; most importantly, you are able to contact several men or women and can afford to be specific about who you are and what you are looking for, and choose who to meet physically. The unpredictability of going to meet someone you have never met before makes it even more interesting.
On the other hand taking your dating to the bar is a different kettle of fish altogether. You have to be dressed to the nines and ensure that you look your best. You don't have the advantage of knowing some background information about your prospective date before you make your first move. Physical attraction is all you can bank on. Some of the bars are too loud to even allow you to have any meaningful conversation about your interests and hobbies and the first time nervousness might make it difficult to establish whether there is chemistry or not. Very many people might also be too shy or nervous to make a move. Perhaps the worst of all is the possibility of making wrong judgments, especially if you are under the influence of alcohol.
Just like in any important venture, to be successful in your free dating online mission, you need to be equipped with enough tips on how to go about it. Here are five of the most helpful shortcuts that can guarantee you a better and more gratifying experience.
You must not write a long colorful essay in order to get a desirable reply. Given that you might need to contact several people in a day, being too wordy may really drain your energy as well as your motivation. If your target respondent is "hot cake," they may not even have enough time to read long essays from you. Therefore, the shorter your messages are the better. Make them utmost 3 to 4 lines, so long as you include something fun, as well as appealing and different, to prove that you are the right match. Joke about something they have written, comment on their photo or even ask a logical question.
You definitely won't have enough time to read every single detail in the profiles of hundreds of interesting people in a most popular dating online forums. Looking at key areas in order to find things that you have in common or anything you can comment on will save you lots of time. Also, be on the lookout for any reasons that might make you incompatible, since you only need to contact suitable matches. Once you have made the first contact and you are chatting, you will have all the time to go through all the details of their profiles.
Doing any of the two ensures that your target gets an instant notification. Most of the people are likely to check your profile immediately so as to know more about you. Therefore, having a catchy profile with a fetching photo is likely to generate interest. Standing out of the crowd is the secret here.
There is no doubt that, just like anything fun, completely free dating can turn out to be addictive. It is obvious that the more time you put into it the more the dates you are likely to attract. But this doesn't mean that you have to spend more time than necessary on it. Setting your own time limit of one week or so whereby you ensure that you avoid logging into your account or checking messages in your inbox. You can write in your profile that you are away in order to clear the air. You can use your breaks to reconnect with your family and friends that you might have most probably been neglecting, as well as get anything that you have been putting off done. When you come back, you will be refreshed and able to make better judgments.
This is the most obvious thing that many singles forget. The main purpose of totally free online dating sites uk platforms is to eventually enable you to meet physically in the real world. Instead of spending hours, days and weeks chatting online, you can save your conversations for the first real date.
Equipping yourself with all the aforementioned tips will definitely equip you well and make it easy to navigate the complex labyrinth that online dating platforms are.

One of the best parts of travelling is experiencing the nightlife and entertainment each city has to offer. However, amidst the fun and excitement, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and personal safety as well. Before you hit the road with us, it's important to be aware of the following:
When you're on a night out, remember to avoid walking alone, particularly through deserted areas like beaches and back streets. Always stick together, take a taxi where possible, and keep a note of your accommodation details so you can find your way back to your fellow Topdeckers if you become separated.
In some countries, alcoholic measures can be considerably larger than what you may be used to. Try to keep track of what you're drinking, and if you see one of your trip mates looking a little worse for wear, take them back to your accommodation. Be cautious when accepting drinks from strangers and never leave your drink unattended.
It's also important to be aware that what you might consider harmless flirting may be interpreted differently in some countries. Be yourself and have fun, but don't be naïve, and be mindful of the signals you are sending out so that you don't find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
Hostel Plus trips host our most eclectic types of accommodation. While hostels make up the majority of your overnighters you could also stay in hotels (free upgrade – yeah!) or bungalows.
The 'More Inclusions' section details what type of accommodation will be used for overnight stops on your trip.
The number of people to a room on Hostel Plus trips will vary. For hostels (remember, the most common) you will have multi-share rooms and share with between 3 and 5 others while in hotels there will be twin or triple-shares (and the odd quad-room). Bungalows can be up to 4 people to a room.
Please note: When staying on a Hostel Plus trip, multi-share accommodation is single-sex and therefore couples should not expect to share a room.

ICC praises Sri Lanka's preparations for Cricket World Cup 2011, mascot revealed
Sat, Apr 3, 2010, 12:37 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Apr 02, Colombo: International Cricket Council (ICC) Central Organising Committee (COC) for Cricket World Cup 2011 today praised the progress of Sri Lanka's preparations to host the international event next year.
The Central Organising Committee chaired by ICC Vice-President Sharad Pawar met in Colombo today and commended the progress of ongoing work being carried out on the hosting venues at Colombo, Pallekelle and Hambantota.
Sri Lanka is to co-host the CWC with India and Bangladesh.
With exactly one year to go until the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, the Committee tonight in Colombo revealed the details of the official mascot, an elephant, and how fans can purchase tickets for the event.
At the occasion Mr. Pawar said Sri Lanka, like India and Bangladesh, is known for the warmth and hospitality shown to visitors from around the world and he is sure that welcome will make the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 an event to remember.
"I would like to thank personally Sri Lanka Cricket for the hospitality they have shown the COC at this meeting and the arrangements they have put in place," he noted.
Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket Nishantha Ranatunga said it was a great honour for the ticket announcement and mascot launch to be held in Colombo.
"The excitement in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is already starting to build and I am sure that all Sri Lankans will see this as a great opportunity to showcase their country and demonstrate their love of cricket," Ranatunga said.
Sri Lanka will host 12 matches at three venues in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 which opens in Dhaka on February 19, 2011 and climaxes in the final in Mumbai on April 2.

More recently the CRA Government Affairs program has enhanced its efforts to help the members of the computing research community contribute to the public debate knowledgeably and effectively.
Appropriations Update: House Numbers for NSF, NIST, and NASA are out and they are quite good!/In: FY20 Appropriations, Information Technology R&D Highlights /by Brian Mosley
Congress has begun the yearly appropriations process, divvying up tax-payer dollars to the assorted federal agencies. As is the norm, the House Appropriations Committee has begun its work first. The bill of most importance to the CS and IT research community is the Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) bill; it contains the funding for the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and NASA. And there is good news: increases all around!
First, the National Science Foundation is the big winner, with a 6.9 percent increase over Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) funding. NSF would get $8.64 billion for FY20, with an increase of $560 million over last year. Getting into the details, the Research and Related Activities (R&RA) account, which hosts NSF's research portfolio, would receive an 8.9 percent increase, increasing from $6.52 billion in FY19 to $7.10 billion for FY20. As well, the Education and Human Resources (EHR) account would see a relatively modest increase of 4.4 percent, going from $910 million in FY19 to $950 million in FY20. If this bill were to become law, NSF would see significant growth for the first time in a decade.

While not making out as well as NSF, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) does get a healthy budget. The agency would see an increase of 5.5 percent, going from $986 million in FY19 to $1.04 billion in FY20. The institutes' Science and Technical Research and Services (STRS) account, where the majority of the agency's research is housed, would see an increase for FY20; $751 million for FY20, which is $26 million more (3.6 percent) than it received for FY19.

Finally, NASA funding included in the bill would exceed last year's by 3.8 percent, increasing from $21.5 billion in FY19 to $22.32 billion in FY20. The NASA Science account would also see a 3.6 percent increase, from $6.91 billion up to $7.16 billion for FY20.

How likely is it that these numbers will be passed into law? Unlikely. Given that the Administration released a budget with steep cuts, and has been confrontational with the Democratic led House on multiple topics, these numbers aren't likely to be passed as is. These numbers are likely the best-case scenario for this year's appropriations.
However, the Senate is not likely to be too far behind. Keep in mind that Congress has rejected the Administration's budget requests for the last two years, and that was when Republicans controlled both chambers of the legislature. It's likely that the Senate numbers, which should come out later in the summer, will at a minimum maintain the current level of effort. And a more modest increase would not be unexpected. So there is reason for optimism. But only time will tell what the final budget numbers will be; keep checking back for more updates.
Have an Impact on U.S. Science Policy, Attend CRA's CCC Leadership in Science Policy Institute!/In: Computing Community Consortium (CCC), CRA, Events, People, Policy /by Peter Harsha
Every two years as part of it's mission to develop the next generation of leaders in the computing research community, CRA's Computing Community Consortium, in partnership with CRA's Government Affairs Committee, holds the Leadership in Science Policy Institute (LiSPI) workshop, intended to educate computing researchers on how science policy in the U.S. is formulated and how our government works. We're seeking nominations for participants for this year's workshop, scheduled for November 21-22, 2019, in Washington DC.
LiSPI features presentations and discussions with science policy experts, current and former Hill staff, and relevant agency and Administration personnel about the mechanics of the legislative process, interacting with agencies, advisory committees, and the federal case for computing. In this fifth iteration of the workshop, participants will hear from experts in policy from AAAS, CRA, Federal Science Partners, current and former White House and federal agency personnel, and members of the computing research community who have served in roles across the government — including in non-science agencies. They'll discuss how the policymaking process really works — how initiatives come to be, how priorities get set, and how members of the community can best engage and help shape the process.
LiSPI participants are expected to:
- Complete a reading assignment and short written homework prior to attending the workshop, so that the time spent at the workshop can focus on more advanced content,
- Attend the November 21-22, 2019, workshop, which includes breakfast both days, lunch, and a reception with the speakers and invited guests at the conclusion of the first day, and
- Complete an assignment afterwards that puts to use the workshop content on a policy problem that has a significant projection onto computing and information.
LiSPI is not intended for individuals who wish to undertake research on science policy, become science policy fellows, or take permanent positions in Washington, DC. Rather, we are trying to reach work-a-day academics who appreciate that our field must be engaged in helping government. LiSPI Alumni have gone on to testify before Congress, appear at Congressional briefings, take seats on Federal advisory committees, provide input on legislation, and serve on the CCC Council and CRA Board.
The CCC will provide funds for hotel accommodations for two nights of local expenses (hotel, meals) for the November 21-22nd workshop. Nominees are expected to pay their own travel expenses, though there will be a limited fund available for participants who cannot attend unless their travel is provided.
Eligibility and Nomination Process
LiSPI participants are expected to have the experience and flexibility in their current positions to engage with government. Participants should be adept at communicating. They must be nominated by their chair or department head and must have demonstrated an interest in science policy, especially as it relations to computing.
Specifically, the nomination process is:
- A chair or department head proposes a LiSPI candidate by visiting the nomination page and providing the name and institution of the nominee, along with a letter of recommendation.
- The candidate will then be contacted by the workshop organizers and asked to submit a CV, a short essay detailing their interests in science policy, and an indication of whether they would require financial aid to attend.
All nominations must be received by JUNE 14, 2019.
Selection Process
The LiSPI Selection Committee will evaluate each nomination based on record of accomplishment, proven ability to communicate, and promise. Selections will be announced by July 19, 2019. We plan to open the workshop to 35 participants.
Please discuss this opportunity with your colleagues, identify those you believe would be interested in participating, and submit nominations!

"Second Place America?" Major Report Detailing the Nation's Declining Leadership in Research and Technology Released at Capitol Hill Event/In: CRA, Events, People, Research, STEM /by Brian Mosley
On Tuesday May 14th, the Task Force on American Innovation (TFAI), an alliance of leading American companies and business associations, research university associations, and scientific societies, released a major report assessing the United States' investment in science and engineering research. The report, titled "Benchmarks 2019: Second Place America? Increasing Challenges to U.S. Scientific Leadership," is the fourth such "benchmarking" report that TFAI has released since it's founding in 2004. The report found that the trends found in the original Benchmarks report in 2005, and the two subsequent follow-up reports, persist and the U.S. continues to lose ground to other nations in investments in science, technology, and talent.
In order to assess the country's standing against competitor nations, the report is broken into five distinct categories of benchmarks: R&D investments, knowledge creation (such as scientific publications and patents), education, workforce, and several high-tech sectors. In all the categories, signs point to the U.S. losing it's competitive edge, as China and other countries rapidly increase investments in research and workforce development in order to assume positions of global leadership. The report makes clear that the U.S. needs to capitalize on its tremendous assets and make technological pre-eminence a national priority. This can be achieved through a national strategy that includes increased funding for scientific research and human capital development, and targeted investments in new programs to grow, attract, and retain domestic and international STEM talent.
The report was released at an event on Capitol Hill in the Rayburn House Office Building, with honorary co-hosts Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) and Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), the Chair and Ranking Member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, respectively.
The majority of the event was devoted to a panel discussion of the report's findings by key industry and scientific leaders. The panelists included Eric Fanning, former Secretary of the Army and current President and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association; John Neuffer, President and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association; Michael McQuade, Vice President for Research at Carnegie Mellon University; and Nadya Bliss, Director of the Global Security Initiative at Arizona State University. These speakers represent the three parts of the U.S. innovation ecosystem (industry, universities, and researchers), and they had a clear message: the nation needs a strong and sustained commitment to increasing federal investments in scientific research and human talent if the nation wants to maintain its global leadership role.
Tobin Smith, of the Association of American Universities, and one of the report co-chairs, said, "this is a wake-up call for policymakers in Washington. Maintaining a global lead in science is critical to American national security and economic interests. But this report clearly documents that the rest of the world is catching up very quickly."
CRA played a key role in the development and release of this report. Dr. Bliss, who provided the researcher perspective at the Capitol Hill event, is a Computing Community Consortium Council member. Additionally, I served as the other co-chair of the report. CRA was among the first members to join TFAI in 2004, and had a major role in authoring the first Benchmarks report in 2005.
NSF Funded AI Powered Microscope Showcased at the 2019 CNSF Exhibition/In: Events, People, Research /by Brian Mosley
On April 30th, the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF), an alliance of over 140 professional organizations, universities, and businesses, held their 25th Annual Capitol Hill Exhibition. CNSF supports the goal of increasing the federal investment in the National Science Foundation's research and education programs, and the exhibition itself is a great way to show members of Congress and their staff what research the American people have funded.
This year the Computing Research Association, a member of CNSF, sponsored Vito Pastore, a postdoctoral researcher ay IBM Research, who works in Simone Bianco's Cellular Engineering team in collaboration with Thomas Zimmerman. Dr. Pastore demonstrated a low cost microscope which, when used with an artificial intelligence program he created, can identify and monitor plankton, in real time, in water samples. The overall research effort is attempting to see if it's possible to use plankton as a biosensor to monitor the health of waterways and other water systems. With a cheap, easy to use microscope, combined with the AI program, it would be possible for easy checking of water samples by almost anyone.
This work received support from the Directorate of Biological sciences at NSF. Dr. Pastore's presentation was well received by the attendees of the exhibition, fielding questions from Congressional staffers, NSF Program Officers, and other attendees of the exhibition.
A number of other organizations had displays and were demonstrating NSF funded research at the event. From the Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation's, "Breaking New Ground: Computational Science at the Forefront of Discovery;" to the American Mathematical Society's, "Power Domination: How Zero Forcing is Used to Monitor an Electric Power Grid;" to the University of California's, "Advancing Propulsion and Energy Technologies Using Laser-Based Sensors;" the exhibition was a great display of the different types of research being supported by NSF.
Department of Energy FY 2020 Request: It's Pretty Bad; You Might Want to Look Away…/In: Funding, FY20 Appropriations, Information Technology R&D Highlights /by Brian Mosley
Continuing our series following the Trump Administration's Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) budget request, we now go to the Department of Energy (DOE). As bad as the NSF budget request is, DOE's is much worse.
The two key parts of DOE for the computing community are the Office of Science (SC), home of most of the agency's basic research support, and ARPA-E, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
For SC, the President's FY20 request of $5.55 billion is a cut of 15.8 percent compared to the FY19 enacted level of $6.59 billion. While that is pretty horrible, the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program, which is within the Office of Science, and where most of the computing research at the agency is located, would receive a significantly lower cut; the program would be funded at $921 million, a decrease of $14 million or 1.6 percent. This is primarily because many of the priorities of the Administration, such as exascale computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum information science, sit within ASCR. For comparison, the Bio and Fusion programs would receive cuts of 29.9 and 28.6 percent, respectively (page 42 in the linked pdf).
As for ARPA-E, it would once again be zeroed out, as it was in the President's budget request last year. Despite last year's request, Congress maintained ARPA-E funding, actually providing an increase of 4 percent in FY19.

As with NSF's request, it is unlikely that Congress will take this proposal seriously. Also, like with NSF's request, it is difficult, if not impossible, to know how and when DOE's budget will be finalized. Expectations are that a continuing resolution is likely, as is a budget impasse (ie: a shut down). Please keep checking back for new information.
NSF FY2020 Request: It is Not Good/In: Funding, FY20 Appropriations, Information Technology R&D Highlights /by Brian Mosley
As we discussed last week, the Trump Administration is slowly rolling out their Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) budget request. What they released last week was only a high-level summary, which didn't appear to be good for the federal research agencies, NSF in particular. However it lacked details, which are beginning to be revealed this week.
Unfortunately, those details for the National Science Foundation's budget request don't make the picture look better. The agency is slated to get a twelve percent cut overall, with that percentage fairly evenly split between Research and Related Activities (R&RA), the subaccount that contains the funding for the research grants, and Education and Human Resources (EHR), which contains the agency's education programs. R&RA would receive a 13.2 percent cut compared to FY19 final, while EHR would receive a 9.5 percent cut.
Going into the details of the request for R&RA, the cut is uneven among the assorted research directorates, but everyone gets hit hard. CISE, home to the computing and computer science research portfolio, would receive an 8.1 percent reduction compared to FY18 (a final number for CISE's FY19 budget is not available). Such a large cut to CISE is unfortunate, especially when you consider that NSF funds 85 percent of all federally supported academic basic research in the computer science and related fields. But that's on the relatively low side, with the Geo and MPS directorates getting larger cuts of 13.3 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively.

What's next? The good news is this request now heads to Congress, where it will likely be ignored (especially by the Democratic controlled House of Representatives), as previous requests from this Administration have been. However, that's where the good news ends. Many of the budget impasses that caused the government shut down in December and January have not gone away. The expectation among the science policy community in Washington is that a continuing resolution is likely, if not another government shut down (which is still unlikely but not beyond the realm of possibilities). Please keep checking back for more details.
President's Budget Request for Science in FY2020 – First Look (Ugh)/In: Artificial Intelligence, FY20 Appropriations, Information Technology R&D Highlights /by Peter Harsha
President Trump released an overview of his FY 2020 Budget Request and it contains deep requested cuts to some key Federal science agencies. The budget overall calls for a nearly 5 percent reduction in non-defense discretionary spending in FY 2020 compared to FY 2019, but that includes additional funding for disaster relief. Without the disaster relief funding, Federal agencies would absorb a 9 percent cut on average.
While we don't yet have full details of the President's request — agency-specific requests are due on March 18th — the overview document does provide some information. The National Science Foundation would see a decrease in funding of nearly a billion dollars in the President's plan, to $7.1 billion overall in FY 2020. That's a 12 percent decrease from the FY 2019 enacted level of $8.08 billion.
The request is even worse for the Department of Energy's Office of Science. The request provides $5.5 billion for the office in FY 2020, a decrease of nearly $1.1 billion compared to the FY 2019 enacted number, or a 16.4 percent reduction. Within that budget, the request does provide $500 million for Exascale computing, $169 million for Quantum Information Science, and $71 million for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The request also calls for cuts of $500 million at NASA and provides $668 million to NIST — though it's not clear if that's for total NIST funding ($998 million in FY 2019) or just for research at NIST Labs ($725 million in FY 2019). Either would represent a cut.
Fortunately, President Trump's budget requests haven't been great barometers for how funding for the agencies will ultimately end up. Congress has mostly ignored the President's requested funding levels and has generally rejected his proposed reorganizations of programs or agencies in the Federal science budget. Maybe what's more useful to note are the priorities called out in the budget, which include a number relevant to the computing research community: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Quantum Science, Exascale, Advanced Manufacturing and 5G. While Congress may not share the President's vision for agency funding levels, there's general agreement about those areas of focus.
As noted, the agencies will release their detailed budget requests next Monday, so we should get a much better sense of how they're prioritizing these funding levels. When we get them, we'll share them here!
Final FY2019 Appropriations Wrap-up – Science does OK./In: FY19 Appropriations, General, Policy /by Peter Harsha
There were unfinished funding bills, there was an impasse over a wall, there was a 35-day government shutdown, there was a 3 week interregnum when government reopened and leaders sought to find a way ahead, and then there was final passage and resolution of the FY 2019 appropriations process — one that ended on a reasonably positive note for Federal science agencies.
We received that resolution back on February 15th with the passage of an omnibus appropriations bills that wrapped up all the unfinished business of the appropriations process and provided us with a look at the final numbers for Federal investments in fundamental research. So how did agencies of particular importance to the computing research community do? In a couple words: pretty ok. Most saw modest increases over FY 2018 funding levels, and those that didn't still saw funding levels well in excess of the levels requested by President Trump.
Before diving into the details, it's worth remembering where the President hoped this process would end up. This chart, stolen from the excellent resources available at the AAAS R&D Budget and Policy program, provides an overall view of the first draft of the President's FY 2019 Budget Request compared with FY 2018 enacted levels for science agencies and programs. Though there are some caveats to the numbers shown, and they were amended in an addendum, but in general I think it's fair to say there's not a lot of growth pictured.
The big takeaway from the final FY 2019 appropriations is Congress' rejection of the President's de-prioritization of overall Federal science budgets. Where the President sought to cut science funding almost across the board and reorganize some science agencies and programs, Congress instead funded increases almost across the board and largely rejected the reorganizations.
Here are details for some key agencies and programs:
Appropriators provided an increase of 4.0 percent to NSF compared to FY18, taking NSF's budget above $8 billion for the first time. This funding level represents an increase of 8.1 percent over the President's requested level for FY19. Included in that figure is an increase of 2.9 percent, or $186 million, for the Research and Related Activities account, the home for NSF's research directorates, including the Computer and Information Science and Engineering directorate. That's also 6.0 percent more than the President had requested. Some key language from the reports accompanying the House and Senate versions of the final bill include specific reference to the importance of "[preserving] U.S. leadership in quantum computing", urging NSF to "make significant investments in this area," along with a requirement that future budget requests would include a "well-funded budget line" that supports "world-class leadership computing for the national open science community."
NSF's Education and Human Resources account receives $910 million in the omnibus, an increase of 0.9 percent compared to FY18 and 4.2 percent more than the FY19 request. And the Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account would grow 61.7 percent vs. FY18 to $296 million, as appropriators included funded for 3 regional class research vessels, 2 telescopes (LSST, DKIST) and moved funding for Antarctic Modernization into the account from its previous home in R&RA.
Department of Energy Office of Science
DOE's Office of Science will see an additional $390 million in FY19 compared to FY18, growing to $6.6 billion — a 5 percent increase. Included in that increase is a $126 million increase (15 percent) to the Advanced Scientific Computing Research program, primarily to support the continuing effort to deploy two new exascale-class computing systems in FY 21 and FY 22. The increase also includes a new $13 million for the SciDAC partnerships to allow ASCR and the other science programs within Office of Science to focus on progress in Artificial Intelligence and big data. ARPA-E, targeted for elimination in the President's budget request, will actually see a 4 percent increase to $366 million.
Department of Defense Science and Technology
Basic research ("6.1" in DOD parlance) increases by nearly 12 percent across the Department of Defense, up $280 million to $2.62 billion. That's a considerable improvement over the increase of 2.9 percent in FY 2018. Applied research (6.2) will grow $390 million, 7.7 percent, to $6 billion, and Advanced Technology Development (6.3) grows 8 percent to $7.4 billion. DARPA, the only "winner" on the President's Request chart above, will receive about what the President requested — $3.4 billion, up $360 million, or 11.7 percent (the President requested 12 percent), compared to FY18.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The NASA budget grows 3.5 percent to $21.5 billion in FY 2019. Included in that is a big increase for NASA's Science programs, which would grow 11 percent to $6.9 billion. The increase primarily boosts NASA's planetary science efforts, but it also rejects cuts the President proposed to earth science research at the agency (holding them mostly at FY18 levels).
NIH will grow by $2.7 billion, or 5 percent, to $39.8 billion. Of particular interest to the computing research community is the rejection of the President's plan to consolidate 3 agencies (the National Institute for Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)) into NIH. NIDILRR in particular supports some efforts in computing research and engineering aimed at developing solutions for the disabled that researchers were concerned might not be well-suited within a more science-oriented NIH. CRA helped put together a coalition of universities and programs that might be affected by the change and sent letters to the appropriators urging against it. The appropriators agreed and rejected the reorganization.
The home to most of NIST's research efforts will receive the same funding amount they received in FY 2018, $725 million. The President proposed cutting the lab budget by 20.9 percent in his FY 19 request.
Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology
DHS S&T is one of the only negative outcomes in the FY 19 appropriations omnibus, receiving a $21 million or -2.5 percent cut vs. FY 18. Yet that level is still $237 million above the President's request for the directorate. Of note to the computing research community, a proposal in the President's budget to move the Cyber Security R&D program from the S&T Directorate to a more operationally-focused National Protection and Programs Directorate was also rejected, keeping the research program within the research-oriented directorate.
So, in sum, a pretty ok year for Federal science funding and computing research.
The Road Ahead
In addition to giving agencies certainty about how much they can spend this fiscal year, having completed appropriations bills means we ought to be free of most of our worries about further government shutdowns, at least through the end of the FY 2019 fiscal year on September 30th. However, the Federal debt limit — suspended back in 2018 as part of a bipartisan budget agreement — was reinstated on March 2nd, which means the U.S. Treasury has to use "extraordinary measures" to manage Federal expenditures until a new debt limit can be passed. The current estimate is that an increase to the debt limit will need to be enacted by mid August or so, or the U.S. will risk defaulting on some of its debt. This is a long way of saying that we risk yet another budget crisis in August if congressional leaders and the President can't agree on a new limit. While neither party in particular has an appetite for yet another disruption, debt limit extensions are often occasions to use as leverage for policy concessions on other issues. The Democratic House or Republican Senate may use the crisis to advance progress on their particular priorities.
We're also keeping watch for the President's FY 2020 Budget Request, which was due the first Monday in February, but has been delayed due to the government shutdown. We expect that March 18th is the likely release date. We'll have full details on the President's request when it appears. It's unlikely to be markedly different than Trump's previous budgets overall. We're hearing that the agencies were asked to plan for a scenario that necessitated 5 percent cuts to agency budgets across the board. But we also expect to hear more priority placed on Quantum Science, Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Manufacturing, and 5G.
Finally, it's worth noting that the favorable budget increases science agencies received in FY 18 and FY 19 were made possible by the Bipartisan Budget Agreement of 2018. That agreement relieved the budget caps that had been put in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011 — which infamously prescribed double-digit cuts to Federal discretionary spending in the form of automatic sequestrations through FY 2021. The BBA only covered FY18 and FY19, meaning for FY20, we're back under the restricted budget caps imposed by the BCA…unless Congress again agrees to relieve the budget caps with another bipartisan budget agreement. They are hard at work on that now, and there's some reason to believe they'll succeed. Neither the Democrats or Republicans are huge fans of sequestration — the Republicans think the cuts fall too heavily on defense discretionary spending and the Democrats argue the same for non-defense discretionary spending. So it's likely they'll be able to cut a deal. However, this will be the first bipartisan agreement since the BCA between a Democratic House and Republican Senate, so the calculus is a little different.
But we'll keep you informed!
White House Announces New Five-Year STEM Education Plan; Computing Featured Prominently/In: Computing Education, CS Education & IT Workforce Highlights, STEM /by Brian Mosley
The Trump Administration announced today a new five-year plan for STEM Education. The strategic plan, named "Charting A Course for Success: America's Strategy for STEM Education," calls for building a strong foundation in STEM literacy in American students; increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM for historically underserved and underrepresented groups; and preparing students for the STEM workforce of the future. Strategic partnerships with industry and nongovernmental groups are planned to be a part of the initiative's funding.
This plan is a government-wide strategy, which is built on four "pathways representing a cross-cutting set of approaches." Those pathways are:
- "Develop and enrich strategic partnerships," to focus on, "strengthening existing relationships and developing new connections between educational institutions, employers, and their communities."
- "Engage Students where Disciplines Converge," to make STEM education more meaningful for students by exposing them to real-world problems and figuring out solutions.
- "Build Computational Literacy," to, "advance computational thinking as a critical skill for today's world."
- And, "Operate with Transparency and Accountability," which, "commits the Federal Government to open, evidence-based practices and decision-making in STEM programs, investments, and activities."
As shown above, computational thinking and computer science are featured prominently in the report. The main aim for both is to build digital literacy, and by extension computational literacy, in students so that they can better bring these skills into their careers and lives for the benefit of the nation. As stated in the report, "this pathway includes strategies for connecting people, accessing knowledge, and building high demand job skills."
The report calls on Federal agencies engaged in STEM education, such as NSF, to collaborate to, "develop a consolidated implementation plan," and to track the progress of STEM programs that are underway. It calls for deliver of this implementation plan with 120 days. No new federal funding is proposed in the strategy, though one could assume that will be a subject for the implementation report. This is a good first step to implementing a Federal STEM education plan and it's another good example of the increased visibility of the computer science education community.
What's up with the budget? Well, it's complicated./In: Funding, FY19 Appropriations /by Brian Mosley
When we last provided an update on the Fiscal Year 2019 Federal Budget, some sections had been passed into law, a large chunk of it was expected to move in a few days, and some key bills were anticipated to be left for after the mid-term elections. As it turns out, not all of that happened as expected.
The bills that were passed in September are still law. But the "large chunk," which was an expected "minibus" of the Financial Services, Interior, Agriculture, and Transportation appropriations bills, didn't move at the end of September as planned. There were an assortment of reasons why they stagnated but it sounds like most of those issues have been cleared up. But these bills are still waiting for Congress to send them to the President for his signature.
What is important are the bills that were anticipated to be taken up after the election. These are Homeland Security, Foreign Services, and, of most significance, Commerce, Justice, Science (or CJS). The CJS bill contains the research funding for NSF, NIST, and NASA. CJS is still being held up over concerns about the Mueller investigation, as well as disagreement about the enforcement of the Trump Administration's immigration policies; so, nothing to do with research. Still, we're caught up in larger political currents.
So, what happens now? This is where things get complicated. The current continuing resolution (CR) expires this Friday, December 7th; something has to be signed into law, either these bills or another CR, by then or the government will shut down. President Trump has sent mixed signals about his intentions. He has publicly said he wants $5 billion for border wall funding, and will not sign the outstanding funding bills if he doesn't get it. Except, he has also repeatedly told Congressional Republicans, who don't want a shut down, he will NOT shut the government down. To use a science metaphor: it's Schrödinger's budget right now, in that the government is both funded and not funded until reality collapses into whatever it's going to be.
What's our best guess? Given the disruption of President Bush's funeral on Wednesday, a new CR is likely. The question is will it be for a week or two weeks. After that, it's a good question about what happens. We have to wait and see; because, it's complicated.
UPDATE: The House Majority Leader announced that votes for the week are cancelled and a two week continuing resolution will be passed by unanimous consent. That means the government will be funded through December 21st; that's the new deadline.

GH Recap: TJ is held hostage
Summary for Thursday September 3, 2015: TJ is forced to lure Sonny to a warehouse, Michael gives Carly good news, and Sloane agrees to help Anna.
At Wyndemere, Hayden has another memory of kissing Nikolas, and that he was telling her to stop making threats about Jake. Nikolas tries to dismiss her memories, but she wonders if she knew who Jake was. Jake and Sam arrive and interrupt their discussion. They claim they are here to check on Hayden and barge right in. Sam asks if she remembers anything yet. Hayden says she has had memory flashes about talking to Nikolas about Jake. Sam remembers Hayden claimed someone else knew who Jake was, and she wonders if it was Nikolas. Nikolas swears he didn't know, and perhaps Helena knew and trusted the secret with Hayden.
Outside Kelly's, Anna arrives for a meeting with Sloane, and wonders if he can take this as a sign there is a chance for them. Anna says she reached out to him for comfort at a time she needed some, but she's not sure they have a future together. However she does need his help with Nikolas Cassadine. She explains that they want to use the information on his rigging the election in order to get him to give ELQ back. Sloane is reluctant as it will expose him as well, but she offers to get him a deal. Anna needs to do this as she is supposed to be a good guy, and this is a way back to the right side for her. He asks her what she wants him to do. She asks him to tell Nikolas that he plans to tell Jordan the truth, so he agrees.
At Sonny's compound, Sonny checks on the preparations for the wedding. Ric shows up just to wish Sonny well, and tell him that he's been put on new case bringing down Julian. However in exchange for the hijacker of his shipments' testimony against Julian, he had to let the guy go. The two switch the subject to Morgan, who had a rough night. Morgan eventually shows up completely hung over, and the housekeeper lets Sonny know that TJ has not arrived with the cake yet.
Michael arrives at Carly's place to see her, and she wants to know if he's changed his mind. Michael tells her that he can't forgive Sonny and pretend things are okay, but he will come to her wedding. Carly asks what happened to change his mind. He tells her that he wants to be there for Morgan, who is worried he's a disappointment to them. Michael tells her everything that happened the night before with Morgan. Carly worries as Morgan never came home, so she calls Sonny and learns that Morgan is with him. Sonny tells her that he'll see her soon. Michael tells his mother that he's not just going to the wedding for Morgan, but for her too. Michael leaves to get ready, and Carly begins to get dressed as well.
At the PCPD, Jordan asks Dante to focus on the guy they busted for hijacking Sonny's shipments, who is back on the streets. They discuss the case, and how Ric seems to be in bed with Lomax. Dante assures her that he can separate his family from work. He leaves to get ready for the wedding, and Anna arrives. After hugs, Anna asks for her help with Sloane.
In a warehouse, Charlie, the guy hijacking Sonny's shipments, is holding TJ captive. TJ believes he's working for Julian, though Charlie never confirms that. Charlie gets a call from his boss with the next part of the plan. Charlie orders TJ to make a call at gunpoint.
Back at Sonny's place, TJ calls Sonny and says they have a problem. He explains that men have kidnapped him and they want him to come to a warehouse alone. Sonny says he is on his way. After he leaves, Dante and Michael show up, and Morgan explains their dad left to take care of something.
Back at Wyndemere, Sam receives a text from Anna, and throws the fact that she knows about his election tampering in Nikolas' face. She orders him to give ELQ back to Michael, or he will go to prison. Nikolas thinks they have nothing on him. Sloane walks in and Sam presents their evidence.
Sonny arrives at the warehouse to meet Charlie.
On the Next General Hospital:
Sam tells Nikolas to give ELQ back or go to jail.
Julian tells Olivia they aren't done.
Jordan asks Anna what she needs.
Carly tells Maxie not to let Sonny know about the flowers from Jake.
Sonny threatens Charlie.

Natural remedies for Hives (Urticaria)
|Calamine lotion is one of the natural remedies for hives (Urticaria) when it is applied to the area that is affected. Calamine lotion provides some relief from constant itching.
There is some relief when magnesia milk is applied on the lesions. The magnesia milk has alcalescent solution that helps in the removal of the itchy sensation that is very irritating.Warm water that is filled halfway to a container then mixed with half cup of cornstarch and half a cup of baking soda is among the natural remedies for hives (Urticaria) that stop itching. It makes a big difference when one soaks in the solution at least one time each day.
Application of gel that is obtained from aloe Vera or oil that contains vitamin E to the area that is affected for at least two times in a day provides some relief.
Nettle tea is also one of the effective natural remedies for hives (Urticaria). The nettle tea is prepared by mixing two teaspoons of powder nettles with hot water. Natural honey or a lemon that is freshly squeezed can be added to make it tastier but this is optional.
Cayenne pepper is among the natural remedies for hives (Urticaria). It reduces swelling and speeds up the process of healing. The pepper that is in natural form is more effective than the one which is in form of capsule.
Green tea is among natural remedies for hives (Urticaria) that contain natural antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Our Amazing Earth - Psalm 104 (episode 9)
We live on an amazing planet, the more we learn about the abundant life that teems in every quarter, the more we find about the way that different parts work together, the more we discover about the creatures and plants, the more we are amazed. This psalm rejoices in the wonder of our earth but shows clearly how all that there is depends on God. As you explore this psalm with Pastor David expect to be both encouraged and challenged.
