Governments are meeting in Warsaw this month to try and take another step toward an international agreement on climate change. One key focus of these negotiations will be the funds that rich countries have agreed to provide to poorer countries to help them address climate change.
The level of investment needed to address climate change in developing countries is estimated at $0.6tn to $1.5tn per year. Current commitments are not in this ballpark. The $100bn a year that has been committed by rich countries under existing agreements is a start but governments will have to pick up pace as the recent 'fast start finance period' yielded only $33bn.
Overcoming the gap between what's needed and what's available will be a challenge. Many governments are banking on the fact that their public resources can mobilise significant levels of private investment. They believe that if the right government incentives or subsidies are in place, then vast amounts of private money will be deployed to address the climate problem.
In theory it should work but in practice instead of using these government interventions to support renewables or efficiency, they are currently using those tools to actively support high-carbon energy.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) governments pumped over $0.5tn into subsidies for oil, gas and coal in 2012. The IEA has also found that, in 2011, for every $1 in support provided for renewable energy governments provided another $6 in subsidies to carbon-intensive fuels.
A report released today by Overseas Development Institute shows that the 11 richest high-carbon countries, provided a subsidy of $7 for every tonne of greenhouse gas emitted from fossil fuel combustion in 2011. From a climate change perspective, it's like shooting ourselves in both feet. We're subsidising fossil fuels on one hand and failing to enforce a carbon price on the other.
Investors and businesses look for long, loud and legal signals from governments in order to decide where to put their money. Instead of using these signals to ensure that we avoid dangerous climate change, governments are creating a mixed and confusing bundle of policy signals, which often tell investors to keep pumping money into fossil fuel based energy.
This is particularly risky in the context of last month's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which stated that we have already burned 53% of our global carbon budget, and further analysis showing that given the current growth rate in emissions, the world's carbon budget will be spent in three decades.
We need to create an environment where businesses conclude that the logical thing to do is to make green or low-carbon investments – that's simply not the case at the moment. Some businesses are starting to recognise the uneven playing field that has been created by fossil fuel subsidies.
In response to the ongoing parliamentary inquiry on energy subsidies in the UK, Vestas Wind Systems highlighted that "subsidies for fossil fuelled power stations in the UK are significant… [and] distort the electricity market, making it unnecessarily difficult for technologies not in receipt of such subsidies … to compete."
The CEO of ReNew Power, one of India's largest renewable energy companies, has stated that "to the extent the government keeps giving cheap coal to power producers, you have to give something [to the renewable energy sector] … when they say that renewable energy needs subsidies to survive [that] is because our entire power market is totally distorted … there is no actual fair market pricing happening today"
Governments are subsidising the activities that are pushing the world towards dangerous climate change, and creating barriers to investment in low-carbon development. Global action to cut fossil fuel subsidies is long overdue, and can kick-start the investment needed to address climate change. It is important that businesses and investors continue to make the case for phasing out these subsidies.
There is a significant opportunity for leadership here by the G20 countries, who collectively account for 78% of global emissions from fuel combustion, and who have already agreed in principle to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.
It is time for the G20 countries to translate principle into practice by setting clear and ambitious goals and timelines for action on fossil fuel subsidies and kick-start low-carbon investment.

Darci the Drummer is a picture book for children ages 4 to 9, bringing to life the story of a 2nd grade girl who is a passionate drummer at heart, bashing away to the beat with natural rhythm on anything she can find when she hears a good song.
Darci dreams of the day when she can play on a real drum set with skill. However, her little brother hates the raucous noises she makes, and she has no idea how she can even become a "real" drummer. Despite the hurtful criticism from her brother, and the ensuing self-doubt, her parents help show her the way via surprise drum lessons and the encouragement to keep working at something she loves.
The story invokes the passion of music and of learning how to play an instrument; it introduces children to various musical terms and the names of some interesting famous drummers that span different musical genres; and it highlights the importance of musical education and the determination needed to improve oneself through practice.
Darci the Drummer is finally complete, and is for sale using the button above! It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble Online, and many other online retailers.

It's all happening this week.
August 2, 2010 at 5:24 am 2 comments
I have had possibly one of the most exciting weeks of my life. Remember that College Herald competition that I've been harping on about for weeks? Yeah well one of my stories was chosen to be published 😀 I was so so ecstatic when I found out! I also won a $100 JB-Hi-Fi gift voucher!! For anyone who knows this store and who knows me, they'll completely understand what a HUGE deal that is. I see a new Ipod in my future!! 😀
I found a copy of the paper it was in and photocopied the page. Nothing will ever compare to the elation I felt when I read my name in bold lettering under the title and above the body of a story I'd written, published in a national paper that is read by upwards of half a million people every day. It only proceeded to further solidify that this is what I want to be doing with my life, it's the career path I'm going to follow.
Guess which story was chosen? THIS one. I'm so happy! It's the first submission I made and I am quite proud of it so I'm very glad to see that in the Herald. This couldn't have come at a more convenient time as I will be applying for Wintec at the end of the week. Also, this Friday I am flying down to Wellington to embark on my training weekend for the Just Write project!!! 😀 The time has finally come, and the combination of being published in the Herald and getting the opportunity to be involved in this training weekend should dramatically increase my chances of being accepted.
In other news… Here are some photos I've taken recently. Winter is good for one thing and one thing only… Interesting pictures.
I think I'm going to start going back to Jujitsu as well. I have a new friend who's interested in going with me so that's new motivation and potential fun 🙂 I'll keep you updated.
Hope you've all had a good start to August!

text: Spider Rigging and Exploitation Dr. Rob Neumann - April 08, 2013 Spider rigging, or vertical trolling with multiple poles in a fanned out fashion, typically off the bow of the boat, has traditionally been a popular tactic to catch crappies in summer when they often inhabit open water, although its use has increased across the seasons. Creel surveys on Mississippi's popular crappie reservoirs suggest that spider-rigging has increased substantially in recent years. With an eye toward being proactive about possible increases in crappie harvest, researchers evaluated spider-rigging and single-pole fisheries—how catch rates differ between methods, whether catch rates of spider-riggers are related to the number of poles fished, and to what extent spider-rigging affects exploitation.*The study was done on Sardis, Enid, and Grenada lakes, three Mississippi waters that are renowned for producing numbers of slab crappies. These reservoirs, in addition to Arkabutla, lie within a region dubbed the "Arc of Slabs" in In-Fisherman magazine. Over 2,200 crappie anglers making up over 1,218 crappie parties (628 pole fishing and 590 spider-rigging) were surveyed. Average trip lengths were 2.8 hours and 3.7 hours for pole anglers and spider-riggers, respectively. In spring, 90 percent of crappie anglers were polers; in summer 85 percent were spider-riggers.Overall, spider-riggers had higher catch and harvest rates than polers, although patterns weren't consistent across the three test reservoirs. Spider-riggers caught just over 3 crappies per hour and harvested 1.72 per hour. Catch rate and harvest of polers was 1.18 and 0.86 fish per hour. For both groups, catch rates peaked in spring. Average weights of crappies caught also peaked in spring, with the smallest fish caught in summer and early fall. Weights didn't differ between groups at Grenada, while average weights were greater for polers than for spider-riggers at Sardis and Enid.The effect of the number of poles used in spider-rigging on catch rates and harvest was studied at Sardis Lake. Catch rates by spider-riggers was related to the number of rods fished, although the relationship flattened as the number of rods increased. Catch rate and harvest were variable among spider-riggers, although in general the harvest rate by one spider-rigger fishing 3 poles was about the same as obtained by one poler (1.15 crappies per hour). When harvest was low, the number of poles didn't increase harvest rate. The researchers conclude that crappie harvest should increase as the proportion of spider-riggers in a fishery increases, the number of poles used by spider-riggers increases, or both. Simulations predicted that in a fishery with a 50:50 mix of spider-riggers and polers, exploitation is about 1.3 times higher than in a single-pole-only fishery. If 100 percent of crappie anglers were spider-riggers, exploitation sees a 1.7-times increase. Since 2007, the study reservoirs have been managed with a bag limit of 20 crappies and a 12-inch minimum length limit. Sardis and Enid lakes have a 5-pole-per-angler limit, while anglers are allowed only 3 poles at Grenada to sustain the trophy fishery. At a 50:50 ratio of spider-riggers to polers, harvest should remain sustainable. The researchers suggest, however, that as spider-rigging continues to increase in these waters, it can become a concern because crappie fisheries are mostly consumptive, which can lead to overexploitation.

In the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas the temperature can stay below zero almost all winter. The cold climate can cause ice dams to build on residential roofs. Enough ice can create a significant amount of weight. Enough weight over a prolonged period can bring about damage to the roofing system. For this reason, you should be ready to call Duall Services to remove the ice dam and repair your roof. We're on call all season long to help homeowners with snow and ice issues. Our entire team is here when you need us, 24/7.
People are known for moving during the spring and summer. As a landlord, it leaves you with an empty house that has to be cared for until new tenants can be found. Ideally, a tenant will leave the house in perfect condition and ready to rent, but unfortunately every landlord knows that is rarely the case, but rather there are going to be a few jobs you have to conduct before putting the home back on the market.
There are many different components of property preservation. Here are some of the important services that we offer.

Date Posted... Mar 6th 2018
It has been an unbelievable term so far with the weather causing havoc with the fixture list. Over 50 games have been cancelled so far, and with no let up in the forecast I can see more games being lost.
The 1st Xi have only played twice and the 2nd XI have yet to play. The 5th year has also proved problematic. We have not only lost fixtures to the weather but more and more schools are refusing Year 11 students out of school to play fixtures due to interventions. Block fixtures did take place for 1st to 4th year against Redruth, Pool and Penair. The U12 and U14 are still in the County Cups, with the U12s reaching the Semi-Final of the National Cup( ESFA). The school has also had representation at County Level at U14 and U18 age groups. We have also been represented at National Level with Cameron playing for the ISFA National squad.
The overall picture is that 70 games should have been played by this stage but we have only managed 20. Fingers crossed we do get some good weather before the end of term!

Being dead is not necessarily a barrier to receiving welfare payments from the federal government.
The Secretariat of Social Development (Sedesol) made support payments to 17,674 deceased people in 2016, costing taxpayers almost 66 million pesos (US $3.5 million), according to the Federal Auditor's Office (ASF).
The ASF found that the vast majority of the "unjustified payments" were made to deceased beneficiaries of its Pension Program for the Elderly (PPAM).
Sedesol paid 64.1 million pesos to 16,997 old-age pensioners who had already died, it said.
A further 677 deceased persons were paid 738,000 pesos as part of two temporary employment programs the secretariat operates.
The auditor's office detected the irregular payments after it requested information from the National Population Registry (Renapo) to corroborate inconsistencies it found in a Sedesol database.
In the database, the ASF discovered that Sedesol didn't have identity (CURP) or tax (RFC) numbers for some welfare recipients, while in other cases it didn't even have basic data such as the age and sex of the beneficiaries of its programs.
José Antonio Meade, the presidential candidate for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), was Secretary of Social Development until September 2016.
It hasn't been a good week for the federal secretariat.
Yesterday, a report published in the newspaper Reforma said that the ASF had detected that Sedesol and the Secretariat of Agrarian Development and Urban Planning (Sedatu) diverted more than 1.3 billion pesos through payments to bogus companies.
Rosario Robles, the secretary who headed the departments when the diversions allegedly occurred, strongly rejected the accusations made by Reforma.
The ASF also found irregularities in another federal agency during its revision of the 2016 public accounts.
It questioned why the National Institute of Physical Infrastructure for Education (Inifed) has not completed rebuilding and repair work on 629 schools that were affected by natural disasters in Guerrero in 2013 and 2014 despite the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonden) authorizing more than 2.6 billion pesos to complete the work.
The ASF also found that Inifed failed to install 8,000 drinking fountains in public schools during the 2016-17 school year.
Consequently, the agency will have to return 782.5 million pesos (almost US $42 million) to the public purse, the ASF said.

Allstar Wins Listed Oakbank Stakes
Willow Grove stallion Centre Stalls (In The Wings-Lora's Guest, by Be My Guest) added a black-type success when 4YO gelding Allstar (Centre Stalls-Picalilli Star, by Stargazer) won the $60,000 Listed Oakbank Stakes (1100m) at Oakbank. Allstar (ridden by T. Baker for trainer Paul Seater) scored by a neck from 4YO mare Zipanese (Bellotto-Eastern Charm, by King's High) with a further 1.75 lengths to 6YO gelding El Maze (El Moxie-Almazyoon, by Danehill). Allstar (passed in as a yearling when consigned by Willowgrove Stud at the 2004 Magic Millions Adelaide Sale) now has 4 wins & 10 placings (including the $75,000 Listed Redelva Stakes (1100m) for 3YOs at Morphettville) from 23 starts for $184,940 earnings.

As part of a much larger project Born Agency were commissioned to create a set of posters to raise awareness of the Festival of Creativity for The University of Lincoln. The posters were to be used around campus and Lincoln city to stimulate interest with students, the general public and local businesses who may wish to visit and see the students' work on display showcasing their skill and talent gained over the period of their course.
We began by using the colour palette we had already created for the overall branding and applied it as a solid background to give a strong visual impact. In addition rather than using just one of the colours in the background we decided to use the full spectrum to add further interest and we developed the original branding to create another format to demonstrate its flexibility. The posters were created in a digital format and were used on display advertisement screens around the city using a simple animated file that rotated to show all the colour versions to great effect.
The posters were used with great results to grab viewers attention and raise awareness of the festival and the feedback from all parties involved was highly positive.

This article first appeared in AviationWeek.com.
A U.S. Navy plan to test a high-power laser against the small-boat threat to its warships provides the first real opportunity to transition electric lasers from the laboratory to the field, says Northrop Grumman, which has won a $98-million contract for the Maritime Laser Demonstration (MLD).
Within 12-18 months, a prototype laser weapon system is to be installed on a ship and tested against a remotely controlled small boat in a representative at-sea environment. The system will use technology from the Defense Dept.'s Joint High Power Solid-State Laser (JHPSSL) program, under which Northrop Grumman in March achieved an output of 105 kw. by optically combining the beams from a chain of laser modules.
"This is an opportunity to transition solid-state laser technology to the warfighter," says Dan Wildt, vice president of directed-energy systems for Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector. "We've been trying to make the transition for a long time, and we see the Navy being very serious about understanding this capability."
Since the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in the Yemeni harbor of Aden, the Navy has been looking for an answer to the small-boat threat. The potential threat ranges from tens of jet skis carrying individuals armed with rocket-propelled grenades to handfuls of fast-attack craft carrying short-range cruise missiles. The challenge includes discriminating, identifying and prioritizing the most threatening targets in a littoral environment crowded with waterborne traffic.
A high-energy laser is a promising solution, says Wildt, because it allows a graduated response to the threat. The weapon's powerful optics can be used to identify a threatening craft, which can then be illuminated with a low-power green laser to send a visual warning to stay away from the warship. If the boat continues to show intent, he says, the high-power laser can be used to attack the motor or hull to disable the craft.
Northrop Grumman is building the prototype, which will combine electric laser module technology from JHPSSL with a purpose-designed beam-control/fire-control system. After land-based testing to ensure safety, the laser weapon will be integrated with the combat control system on a testbed ship for at-sea testing.
The Navy has said it is looking for "tens of kilowatts" of power, and the company's JHPSSL design approach is based on 15-kw. building blocks, or "benches," the beams from which are tiled--laid side by side--and their phases controlled so they combine optically into a single beam.
Although the weapon will operate at a wavelength, 1.06 microns, where there is an atmospheric "window" that maximizes propagation and minimizes absorption of the beam, Wildt acknowledges no one has ever fired a high-power solid-state laser in a maritime environment, where aerosols could scatter the beam.

Oodles of Noodles…Chabuya Ramen (GOOD EATS LA)
I've always wondered why Asians love noodles?! Maybe it's just something we grew up eating, so it's just a staple in our diet. Any who, I love eating Ramen on cold days, and sometimes even when it's warm outside. There's just something soothing about a hot bowl of ramen, and something refreshing about cold noodles in the summer.
Chabuya on Sawtelle features a good selection of ramen, as well as salads, sandwiches (on the same type of bun you eat with Peking duck), and even appetizers.
My personal favorite is the Tori Ramen (aka chicken ramen), because it has a light broth that doesn't taste all MSG'd out. The texture of the noodles are also reminiscent of the ramen they serve in Tokyo. I don't care too much for the Classic ramen noodles they use in the regular broth, because they are too slick and less chewy.
Another favorite of mine is the pork chashu sandwich. They use the white fluffy bun (commonly served with Peking duck), then add thin slices of pork chashu, tomato, and a light sauce.
The best part about Chabuya is that they open late, so if you're craving some ramen, head over and give Chabuya a try! Word of advice, it's a place for ramen, so skip the appetizers. =)

Picture this: You're relaxing on your private balcony, a chilled glass of bubbly in hand, watching the dramatic fjords slide by. Behind you lies the vibrant city of Vancouver. Ahead, the wilderness of Alaska. After a day spotting whales and bald eagles, listening to the thunder of calving ice, and standing face-to-face with a glacier, you're wondering if it could possibly get any better. And you smile because this is only the beginning. On a Canada rail and cruise holiday, your experience doesn't stop there. You get the best of both worlds with two incredible holidays in one.
An Alaska cruise paired with a trip on the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer train is one of the finest ways to explore Western Canada and the only way to see the Rockies and Alaska if you want to do things properly. Onboard Rocky Mountaineer's daylight train you'll be treated like royalty. The impeccable service, gourmet dining and dramatic views continue on your cruise. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with memories that will last forever. In Eastern Canada, VIA Rail links the vibrant cities while a cruise of the St. Lawrence River is the best way to see Ontario and Quebec.
Packing for two very different holidays in one trip can be a challenge. We're here to help.
A major concern for any travellers to Alaska is the weather. Surely a cruise filled with icebergs and glaciers will be cold? Well actually, if you're travelling in summer, it'll be about the same as a UK spring. Pack layers for those warmer days and a jacket, hat and gloves for colder days on the deck or in the mountains.
Sturdy shoes, comfortable trousers, warm layers, gloves and hat, and a camera will do for both the train and the cruise.
Most guests wear casual dress, so wear clothes you are comfortable sitting in and sturdy, flat shoes to cope with the motion of the train.
A comfortable top with a warm fleece or jumper and windproof layer on top will cover all bases. Don't forget your binoculars to spot wildlife!
Rocky Mountaineer has no dress code. The cruise will have one or two formal evenings, but it's up to you whether to dress up or go smart-casual.
Don't forget that you'll be visiting two countries in one holiday if you visit Canada and Alaska. As well as your passport, Canada requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to enter the country. The USA has different requirements, needing an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA). Both must be obtained in advance online.

Marriott bombed in Islamabad
It's a hotel in Islamabad where "foreigners" congregate because of it's good security. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack as yet but it appears to be a suicide bomb.
Hmm. Let me see, now. Who on earth could it be?
Fox News Channel is reporting 18 are dead and that a car bomb near the lobby is suspected.
Huge Blast strikes Pakistan Capital.
It's interesting to note:
The attack came soon after Pakistan's new president, Asif Ali Zardari, had made his first address to a joint session of parliament, pledging that Pakistan would not tolerate any infringement of its territory in the name of the fight against militants.

Node.js is an open source runtime environment for server-side and network based applications. At it's core, Node.js uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine to execute client code and a large portion of the core basic modules are written in JavaScript. Since, for all practical purposes, writing Node.js applications is writing JavaScript applications, it makes sense to try to understand the gist of what JavaScript is.
What is JavaScript
If you have been part of any web-based development, odds are you have worked with JavaScript in one form or another. In this article, I'll focus on the aspects of JavaScript that are relevant within the Node.js environment.
> typeof 10;
> typeof "HI";
> typeof function() { }
While Node.js does support the const keyword, is it not widely used. A standard practice is to use all upperscore characters when defining a constant.
> var HOURS_PER_DAY = 24;
All numbers in JavaScript are 64-bit 754 double-precision floating-point numbers. For numbers that can be expressed in 2&53 bits, their type behaves much like an integer in any other language.
> 100
> 1/3
There are functions that can help you convert strings to numbers
> parseInt("12345")
> parseFloat("1.2345")
> parseInt("1.2345")
The boolean type can have values of true or false. false, 0, empty strings, NaN, null, and undefined all evaluate to false and all other values evaluate to true.
Strings are sequences of Unicode characters that can be wrapped in single or double quote characters. The string type has built-in properties such as "length" to give you access to attributes about the string
> var s = "hi there"
> s
'hi there'
> s.length
JavaScript resolves around objects and are something you will use in virtually any JavaScript-based coding effort. They are extensible allowing you to add and remove properties and methods. To create an Object, you can use the new keyword or use the preferred object literal syntax
> var o = new Object();
> var o = {};
One of the benefits of Object-Literal syntax is that you can specify the contents of an object at initialization time
> var person = {
first_name: "Joe",
last_name: "Pruitt"
You can also add a new property to an object like this
> person.weight = 180;
> person['weight'] = 180;
> user
{ first_name: 'Joe',
last_name: 'Pruitt',
weight: 180 }
To delete an object or property, you can use the keyword:
> delete user.weight
> user
{ first_name: 'Joe',
last_name: 'Pruitt' }
The array type is a special implementation of the object type. To create arrays, you can use the traditional notation, or the array-literal syntax
> var a1 = new Array();
> a1
> var a2 = [];
> a2
To add an item to an array, you can do one of the following
> var a = []
> a.push("hi")
> a
[ 'hi' ]
> a[a.length] = "there";
> a
[ 'hi', 'there' ]
JavaScript is a functional programming language in that functions are fully typed objects and can be extended, manipulated, and used as data.
A simple function is defined with the function keyword
> function hi(name) {
console.log("Hey " + name + "!");
> hi("Joe");
Hey Joe!
Parameters are declared in the parameter list after the function name. If too few parameters are passed in, the missing ones will be undefined. If too many parameters are passed in, then the extras are ignored.
You can create an anonymous function without a name by using the following syntax
> var hi = function(name) {
console.log("Hey " + name + "!");
> hi("Joe");
Hey Joe!
It is recommended to use named functions whenever possible as debugging becomes more difficult without a named context in exception chains.
Special Global Objects
Node.js has a couple of global variables that can come in handy.
- console - The console object contains the well known log function as well as warn, time, timeEnd, and assert.
- process - The process global variable contains information and methods about the current's environment.
It's beyond the scope of this article to get into all of the aspects of the JavaScript programming language. For more details into the concepts I've covered, as well as others in the language, check out the JavaScript reference on w3schools.com - http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/default.asp.

Today on "What's Your Setup?", we bring you the inner workings of the hill crusher currently under the feet of one of our pro-riders – Downhill Demon, Max Ballesteros. So we reached out to Max and asked him what he was riding currently.
The Bustin Shotgun board. Our upcoming (I know, but really, this spring!) downhill Pro Model for Max himself!
Ronin Pro Lite 154mm 45° / 30° trucks. This setup gives him the advantage of being able to ride any hill he wants with little effort. Max rides his trucks split and with a narrow hanger for full stability and grip.
RAD MB Influence 74mm 77a wheels. His own model wheel cooked up by the folks at RAD!
His grip and Built-in Ceramic bearings come from Hondar.
Thanks for joining us as we visit Max and his personal arsenal of choice. Check in next week and we'll take a look at what's under the feet of another skateboarder out in the world. Send us your setups, tag #BustinSetup, and we could feature yours in an upcoming segment!

Sometimes you have to take a closer look at the situation and head a bit off the beaten path. Use your gut instinct. That's what it's there for. If you need to take a little more time to train someone else that doesn't have as much experience but has a great personality, do it. These are the people that are looking outside the box – top, bottom, and sides. They WANT to work for you.
Take a look at a couple of successful examples. In 1984 Michael Eisner became Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Prior to that, he had been President of Paramount Pictures. He was pretty darn successful at what he did but was passed up for the top job because they felt he was "too childlike". Paramount's loss was Disney's gain. The first decade of Eisner's reign (prior to the internal frays) blew Paramount away.
Not being a big Internet shopper, I first learned of Zappos on The Apprentice. What I learned of this very successful Internet shoe (and now much more) company made me go "wow". Zappos' hiring policy stands in favor of personality rather than job experience. CEO Tony Hsieh says that, "One of our core values is to be humble. So if there is someone who is really talented, and we know they will make an immediate impact on our top or bottom line, but they are really egotistical, then we won't hire them."
The idea is to keep the stress level down, not to increase it. Supervisors shouldn't have to be always looking over staff's shoulders and your customers shouldn't have to suffer. Go for the people who are going to be most advantageous to you, without you having to baby sit and continuously watch them. Everything from teamwork to customer service will benefit.

Recently I had made some computer changes in our home to free up some more space. One of those was to make our computers more mobile so we can use them anywhere in the house. This does two things for us: first we actually spend more time together as a family in the common room, second it frees up more room by removing pre-existing desks.
I should have probably prefaced the fact that we have many computing devices and desktops are no longer serving the purpose they once did as the only method of computing. Between myself, my wife and our 11 year old daughter, we have:
3 ipads, 3 iphones, 4 ipods, a google chrome, an android stick, a raspberry pi, 2 macbook airs, 2 imacs, a Kindle Fire, an Intel NUC and an old Dell laptop.
That averages out to about 6+ computing devices per person.
The imacs had the most storage on them with about 1TB of space each, so when we decided to get rid of them, we had the dilema of not having a place for the data to go. The decision was to use a 4TB drobo that we had to act as the file share, but since it was a 1st generation device it was USB only. Initially we had windows XP running on the Dell laptop (which was used mostly for it's serial port to configure routers), so we created an SMB share on it and attached the drobo.
However, the performance over the network was not good enough to stream multi-gig MKV files to the Android stick running XBMC. So it ended up causing videos to buffer every 5 minutes and reduced the watchability.
On an AFP share on a mac, the same issue was not there. So we opted to go with a native HFS+ file system and an AFP share on the mac to do the job.
Now only if the old Dell laptop was a mac, all our problems would be solved. This is where the hackintoshing came in.
A few years ago when Apple switched over to Intel processors, the hackintosh movement began with people running OSX on PCs that had better specs than what you could get in a MacPro, or on netbooks that were cheaper than a used iPad. Initially, the process was very convoluted and required a lot of hacks just to get it going on specific hardware with very slow performance.
That has changed dramatically now and after several generations of bootloaders and workarounds, the process is very simple.
Enter in Unibeast and MyHack, the two main methods for creating a hackintosh.
Unibeast is a combination of a tool called iBoot (which acts as the bootloader) and the OSX install media. The Unibeast tool is run and it will take the iBoot tool, put it on an 8GB USB drive, then take the OSX install media and layer it on top. This gives you an installable USB drive with OSX that will install OSX. MyHack does the same thing, but it also works on external USB drives like the WD myBook.
After the setup process is done, then the specific drivers for the system have to be added to enable network, sound, enhanced graphics, etc. This is done by adding kernel extensions (kexts) to the system. A great resource for kexts is a site call OSXLatitude, which has a compatibility chart of hardware to OSX versions and all the kexts required to make it work.
Here is the link to the Unibeast site:
After Unibeast is installed, use the tool called multibeast to install the kexts.
Here is the link to the MyHack site:
Here is the link to OSXLatitude, where you can get the kexts to install with MyHack:

DRIFTMACHINE: Eis Heauton LP Hallow Ground
Titled with the Greek term for having a 'conversation with ones self' is surely something we can all relate to; it also gives an intimate and personal edge to the stark electronics displayed on the latest album by this Berlin based duo.
Modular synths are heavily on the agenda here, with echoing dub influences pitter-pattering amongst ominous tones and delayed, sparse electronic intersections. Florian Zimmer and Andreas Gerth, experiment with space, where little is more; and each note is given its own stage to reverberate and shine.
'Eis Heauton' is a peculiar affair, but nonetheless more engaging because of it. A robotic world of hums and wiry stretched bleeps portraying a future that never happened; a cacophony of archaic computer systems that became self-aware, fumbling around in a graveyard of underpowered CPU's. Either way, for all its faults, Driftmachine's latest output is genuinely intriguing, if not restricted by its limited appeal.

In addition to these core schools, students in a offered nation may possibly also attend schools ahead of and after major and secondary education. Throughout the Middle Ages and substantially of the Early Modern period, the principal objective of schools (as opposed to universities) was to teach the Latin language This led to the term grammar school , which in the United States informally refers to a major school, but in the United Kingdom implies a school that selects entrants based on capability or aptitude.
I know that a lot of of you do not like this form of SAP but, at the time, quite a few parents were clamoring for a neighborhood strategy because of the assurance of realizing what school their youngster would be assigned to. The intriguing issue I wonder about is that under the selection strategy, 90% of people received their initially selection.
In Germany students graduating from Grundschule are not permitted to straight progress into a vocational school, but are supposed to proceed to one of Germany's general education schools such as Gesamtschule , Hauptschule , Realschule or Gymnasium When they leave that school, which ordinarily takes place at age 15-19 they are allowed to proceed to a vocational school.
On line schools also can present help to conventional schools, as in the case of the School Net Namibia Some on-line classes also present knowledge in a class, so that when persons take them, they have currently been introduced to the subject and know what to expect, and even more classes deliver Higher School/College credit enabling men and women to take the classes at their own pace.
In Western Europe a considerable number of cathedral schools have been founded during the Early Middle Ages in order to teach future clergy and administrators, with the oldest nonetheless existing, and constantly operated, cathedral schools being The King's School, Canterbury (established 597 CE), King's School, Rochester (established 604 CE), St Peter's School, York (established 627 CE) and Thetford Grammar School (established 631 CE).
So, fundamentally, the school was a place for punishing children and a spot where no one desires to go. His concept would employ an adult to look soon after the misbehaved kids. The data presented in the School Efficiency Profile have been supplied to every single district/school for critique. The terms grammar school and grade school are often used to refer to a key school. I hate my school district, we can't do something and it feels like we're in a cage.

Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District Urban Agriculture Grant Initiative
Source: The NACD eResource
In 2016, the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and the Natrual Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) selected the Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) in Missouri as one of the recipients of the inaugural Urban Agriculture Conservation Grant Initiative. Through this award, Greene County SWCD provided funds to the Springfield Community Gardens (SCG) to create a working urban market garden in Springfield's under-resourced Zone 1 district. Within six months, community members, students and partners helped create a green, food-filled oasis in the middle of the Grant Beach neighborhood.
The garden acts as a center of educational opportunities, technical assistance and sustainable production located at a former elementary school turned community center. Using help from over 286 volunteers giving over 830 hours of service, the space now has 34 in-ground beds in production, totaling approximately 3,725 square feet of bed space.
SCG also uses the space to serve the community, hosting free educational workshops on gardening and conservation topics for approximately 270 community members. SCG has provided technical assistance and resources to a network of 23 community gardens, as well as school gardens and neighbors.
Produce grown at the SCG Market Garden has several outlets, including the weekly C-Street City Market, also located in Zone 1. The weekly contact with market patrons allows connection with even more people about ways to get involved with SCG through gardens, education or events. Produce is also sold to area restaurants, neighbors and others, and is donated to community dinners, local food distributions and volunteers.
The SCG Market Garden has been a successful and valuable addition to a neighborhood being revitalized through grassroots efforts focusing on food, wellness, access to resources and community building.

Are you looking for a mattress to meet your specific needs? You might want to consider the Helix mattress.
With Helix, you can take a sleep quiz so the company can find the right mattress for you. In addition, you can select from one of their nine mattresses that vary in terms of firmness and temperature, and components.
Because I am a combination sleeper, I decided to try out the Helix Midnight. It is advertised as "Medium Feel," so I was excited to see how it would perform for me.
Can Helix really help you find the perfect mattress? Read on for my full review.
Helix provides customizable mattresses that can be a great fit for any type of sleeper. You can get $75 off a Helix mattress by clicking the link below and using code CLARITY75 at checkout or $125 off a mattress plus one other product with code CLARITY125 at checkout.
You Might Want To Pick The Helix If:
- You are looking for the perfect fit for you. Helix asks you to take a sleep quiz in order to help narrow down which mattress for you. With nine potential models, there really is something for everyone. Whether you are a back, side, or stomach sleeper, or worry about overheating, there should be a mattress for you. I received the Helix PLUS, and this medium-firm mattress was a great fit for a combination sleeper like me.
- You Can't Decide What You Want– Helix can take all of the guesswork out of the mattress buying process. You fill out answer to a quiz and they'll provide what they think is the ideal mattress for you.
You Might Not Want To Pick The Helix If:
- You want a mattress with latex in it. Along with some other materials, latex is not used in any of the mattress models. If this is a component you really want in your mattress, you may want to look elsewhere.
- You prefer a classic memory foam feel. If you want a mattress with a very thick layer of memory foam, none of the Helix models really have that. If you want to slowly sink into your mattress, you're aren't going to find that here.
Helix provides customizable mattresses that can be a great fit for any type of sleeper. You can get $75 off a Helix mattress by clicking the link below and using code CLARITY75 at checkout or $125 off a mattress plus one other product with code CLARITY125 at checkout.
Construction Overview
- The mattress is 10" tall.
- The cover has two layers. It is soft but breathable.
- On the Midnight, the first layer is 2" inches of memory foam. It is soft and slow to respond.
- Next, there is a 1" polyfoam transition layer.
- Then there are 6" of individually wrapped coils.
- The base layer is 1" of DuraDense Foam.
- Helix mattresses are made in the USA.
Related: Top Mattress Picks Overall
Construction Takeaways
- The Helix comes in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King.
- You can switch out the cover for the Ultra Cool Cover option. It has phase change material which can help to dissipate heat and keep you cool.
- The hybrid design is meant to give a balance of comfort and support. The memory foam in the top layer should be good for pressure relief on shoulders and hips, and the coils should be supportive for back and stomach sleepers.
- The mattress should be good at keeping you cool. The coils allow for airflow and the option of the Ultra Cool Cover mean this could be a good option for hot sleepers.
Firmness and Feel
Helix says that the Midnight is "Medium Feel." For me, it felt like a 6.5/10 in terms of firmness, just about average.
Lying on my back, I feel very well supported. My hips sink in just the right amount, and I feel the foam conforming to my lumbar area. On my side, I'm also feeling nice pressure relief on my shoulders and hips. On my stomach, I feel fairly well supported.
As a combination sleeper, I would say the firmness is just about right for me. However, if you sleep primarily on your stomach, you might want to look for a firmer mattress.
In terms of feel, the mattress has a balanced feel overall. You get some memory foam feel, but it is only 2".You should feel the transition layer and coils so, overall, it has a balanced feel.
See what I thought of the firmness and feel in the video below.
Motion Transfer
Memory foam usually performs well with eliminating motion transfer. With its top layer of foam, I was not surprised how the Helix cut down on motion transfer.
The glass barely moved when I pushed into the mattress and rolled near it. Also, we asked Marten to get in and out of bed to cause a disturbance. I barely felt his movements.
I would say this is a good option for couples.
Edge Support
While I do feel the memory foam collapse as I sit near the edge, the coils stop the mattress from compressing too much beyond that. I feel quite secure sitting on the mattress.
Lying down, I also feel like I can get close to the edge of the mattress without feeling like I will roll off or be ejected from the bed. Overall, I think this Helix mattress has nice edge support.
You can see the edge support in the photo below.
Marten's Take
Marten is a staff writer for us. He has a much different body type than me: He is 6'7″ and weighs about 230 lb; I am 5'9″ and 160 lb. Here is what he thought about this mattress.
Joe said this was a 6.5 in terms of firmness. I said it was closer to a 7/10. I think that's mainly because, as a larger person, I press through the soft upper layers down to the firmer layers beneath.
On my back, my hips sink in just a little bit, but I feel the foam pressing up into my lumbar area. Moving onto my side, I feel some pressure on my shoulders and hips, but not too much. On my stomach, I feel well supported and my hips don't bow in too far.
So, if you're a larger combination sleeper, you should find the support and comfort you need. If you are larger than me, I would consider the Helix PLUS which is made specifically for heavier people.
Even though Marten thought this mattress was a bit firmer than I did, he thought it could be a good option for heavy combinations sleepers. As he notes, if you are larger than him, you might want to consider the Helix PLUS, their big and tall model.
What Makes This Mattress Stand Out
- The Helix has something for everyone. No matter your sleeper preferences or size, Helix should be able to find a model to fit you.
- You shouldn't be sleeping hot on a Helix mattress. The coils allow for nice airflow and there is an optional Ultra Cool Cover as well.
Unboxing This Mattress
The Helix is a bed-in-a-box mattress, which means it will come compressed and be shipped straight to you. You will want to begin by removing the rolled up Helix mattress from its box. Then, preferably with another person's assistance, position the roll on your bed.
Carefully cut away the first layers of plastic until the still-compact mattress can be laid down flat. Then, pierce through the final layer of plastic and the Helix will expand. Simply clear away the excess plastic and allow your mattress to breathe and fully expand.
I really think that Helix has a little something for everyone. Speaking of the Midnight, it definitely fit me needs as a combination sleeper. I would suggest taking their sleep quiz and, if you know just what firmness you need, select one of their nine mattresses.
Helix mattresses come with financing, free shipping and returns, a 100 night sleep trial, and 10 year warranty.
