Sustainable Travel
Taking the train is not only the most scenic way to discover destinations but also one of the most environmentally friendly ways of traveling! When compared to cars and airplanes, trains emit between 66 and 75 percent less carbon. Trains are far more sustainable - in terms of energy consumption, use of space, and noise levels.
What is a Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint is a measure of the effect you have on the climate in terms of the number of greenhouse gases you produce (measured in units of carbon dioxide). Many of your daily activities generate carbon emissions which have an impact on the health of the environment. Rail is your greenest choice!

Jan 10, 2019
In a controversial but not entirely surprising move, Pakistan Supreme Court reinstated an outright ban on Indian content being broadcast on Pakistani TV channels. While pronouncing the verdict, the Chief Justice of Pakistan also said that he won't allow the broadcast of Indian content as it 'damages' Pakistan's culture.
As reported by Pakistani media portal Dawn, the Pakistani Electronic Media Regulatory Authority [PEMRA] had filed an appeal in the Pakistani Supreme Court against the decision of the Supreme Court to ban the broadcast of Indian content, especially the television one, on TV channels. Saleem Baig, chairman of PEMRA also reported before the court that 65 per cent of the content on the Filmazia channel is foreign, and the number goes as high as 50 per cent.
However, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Saqib Nisar would not have any of that. He declared outright, "We will not allow Indian content to be aired on (Pakistani) channels." When the counsel for PEMRA, Zafar Iqbal Kalanauri replied to the judge that the Filmazia channel is not a news channel but an entertainment channel and that it does not do any propaganda, Saqib shot back with "It is however, damaging our culture."
For those unaware, PEMRA had banned the broadcast of Indian content on TV channels in a bid to counter attack the Indian action following the dastardly attack on Indian soldiers at Uri in 2016. Within a year, the ban was declared null and void by the Lahore High Court, since the then federal government had no objections. However, within a year, the Supreme Court overturned the verdict and has now declared their intentions outright with the current verdict on the same.
While this is a dictatorial move nonetheless, the verdict also serves as a tight slap to our Aman ki Asha brigade, who are hell-bent on establishing 'peaceful relations with Pakistan', even at the cost of the nation's self-respect. Even after repeated incidents of cross border terrorism and the religious hatred that most of the Pakistanis have for our nation, our 'Aman ki Asha brigade', often denounce every action taken against the terrorists as 'fascist' or 'war-mongering'.
We don't need to exercise our grey matter to remember the immense love that some of our beloved comrades from Bollywood showered on Pakistan. The way the crew of 'Veere Di Wedding' and 'Mulk' painted the entire Sanatan community as 'corrupt and rapist' in order to earn some brownie points in Pakistan, especially when the incumbent PM Imran Khan was touted to win the elections, is hidden from none. It is another matter altogether that both the films did not even receive a release in their beloved Pakistan altogether.
Moreover, this ban also exposes the true nature of Imran Khan, who claimed to teach India 'how to treat their minorities'. Not only has the Pakistani establishment mistreated the Indian officials before the Kartarpur corridor opened, but they have also increased their cross border attacks on the Indian armed forces. As such, this ban only exposes the intense hatred that Pakistan as a nation has for us.

British Columbia has a particularly high prevalence of buyers buying properties in groups of three or more, according to a recently released data set from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program, part of Statistics Canada. Newcomers to Canada are particularly active in purchasing high-end real estate as a group.
"We were very interested to find out that [group buying] is correlated with high-priced markets, such as British Columbia, "said Jean-Philippe Deschamps-Laporte, director of the CHSP.
These aren't multigenerational partnerships, he adds, like when parents help their kids enter the real estate market by adding their name to the title. These are people with a median individual income of $ 48,200 who buy in groups, bringing their median total income to $ 174,000. Data is based on a review of buyer behaviors in British Columbia from 2018, the most recent set available. The report includes differences by gender, number of buyers in a sale, type of family, first time buyers and immigration status.
"They aren't necessarily high income people, but together once you add up the income for that group it leads to a higher total income than those who buy in pairs," Deschamps-Laporte said.
READ: British Columbia's housing market at historically low supply
Ryan McKinley, senior director of mortgage development for the Vancouver City Savings Credit Union (Vancity), spent most of 20 years working in the lending industry, and about 10 years ago they started offering " mixed mortgage loan ", specially designed for collective ownership. This product was created in response to residents of Vancouver entering into condominium deals on their own, due to soaring house prices. Condominium mortgage loans have only grown in popularity, with both related and unrelated people.
"I don't have specific numbers on the increase, but for the record, we get more and more inquiries over time. Out of necessity, many people have a goal of homeownership and as soon as they realize that it will be difficult on their own, they start looking for other ways to afford it, "McKinley explains.
The most common fear around condominiums is that the parties not only share title to the property, but the mortgage as well. While they may each have separate mortgage terms with the mixed mortgage, such as their amortization period, each is responsible for all of the debt. It can become a problem if a person loses their job or gets sick. Although he has seen deals end due to divorce, McKinley has not seen a condominium collapse because one party has stopped making mortgage payments.
"Personally, I'm not aware of these things, but I would generally be made aware if something like this happened, and I haven't seen it," McKinley explains. "You also have more people involved than if you had only one person on the mortgage, where everything relies on that one person. When you are a co-owner, there are several people, so even if something does happen and one person leaves, there is often more financial strength in a group.
And even when people got divorced, these condos managed to get by, he says.
"Dissolving a marriage is something that gets discussed at first anyway, but even if it isn't, that's when we get together and work it out. In the last situation, we were able to do this so that the other spouse could be redeemed and the remaining spouse took over. We had to tweak things and so on, but it worked as it should. "
The condominium mortgage is one step in the process, and a legally binding condominium agreement is the other. And because coachers are tied to each other's situation, that means they should have appropriate insurance coverage as well, McKinley explains.
READ: Will BC's New 'Cooling Off' Really Turn Down the Heat in Its Housing Market?
"A lot of people ignore this, but it is especially important when talking about relating financially to related or completely independent people to make sure that everyone is properly insured… it is important that everyone is on the same. wave length. "
Condominiums generally fall into three categories, he says. There are traditional partnerships between parents and their adult children, where parents usually do not live in the same house but act as investors.
"Because the down payment is a big investment now, rather than just giving their kids a big down payment that family members have together, which gets the kids into the market and is also a potential investment for them. the parents. So that's what's happening.
The other category is friends who get together, like two couples buying a house or duplex or two singles buying a two-bedroom condo. And then there are unrelated people who buy properties. Some of these condominiums can be found on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), where a party sells their share of the title. McKinley is currently working with such a purchase, where three unrelated people had long been co-owners and one of whom now wanted to sell.
Not all situations are suitable for co-ownership, he adds. For example, it is not a mortgage designed for large groups of 15 or 20 investors. In that case, they should probably form a corporation, he says.
Condominiums are particularly popular with immigrants, who pool their resources and purchase properties that are generally more expensive than those purchased by groups of non-immigrants with the same income. Immigrant coachers often buy in urban areas where property values are higher.
"As we see this trend [for group buying] to be more prevalent in British Columbia, this is particularly the case for immigrant buyers, "said Deschamps-Laporte. "And that's the very interesting angle. There is a lot of talk about immigrants and their roles in the housing market, and about the choices immigrants make which are sometimes different from those of non-immigrants.
"And ultimately, what this tells is in part a story of integration, of a preference for brick and mortar over other types of financial assets."

Employment Discrimination
When you go to work, you likely hope your employer will gauge your value by your work performance, rather than by your identity. Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats a person or group differently from other people in the workplace due to a protected characteristic such as sex, race, national origin, or religion. Federal and local law protects different characteristics, though there is some overlap. In general, the District of Columbia Human Rights Act protects more characteristics and is broader than federal law. If you believe you were harmed by employment discrimination in the District of Columbia, you should call experienced Washington, D.C. employment discrimination attorney Matthew T. Famiglietti. We are patient and consistent, providing every case with the attention it deserves. We work closely with clients so that they understand their options and can make the right decisions.Employment Discrimination
Several federal laws and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act may apply to your employment discrimination case. For instance, federal antidiscrimination laws include the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Many of the antidiscrimination laws are enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). They apply to midsize and large employers. Under these laws, damages are capped based on size of employer.
The District of Columbia Human Rights Act offers greater protection in most cases. It forbids discrimination on the basis of 21 protected traits; it prohibits discrimination not only in employment, but also housing, educational institutions, and public accommodations. You should consult an employment discrimination lawyer in the Washington, D.C. area to determine if you fall into a protected group.
Protected traits under the District of Columbia Human Rights Act include color, race, national origin, religion, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, personal appearance, family responsibilities, disability, political affiliation, familial status, matriculation, income source, and genetic information, place of business or residence, status as a victim of domestic violence, and credit information.
Discrimination includes any negative employment actions taken against you because of a protected characteristic. Adverse employment actions can include termination, failure to hire, failure to promote, demotion, disparate pay, failure to provide training, and harassment.
You may have an employment discrimination case under the District of Columbia Human Rights Act if, for example, your employer did not promote you because you are transgender and it believed customers would not like that. For another example, you may have a national origin claim if you were not hired because a prospective employer believes you were Middle Eastern. Similarly, you may have a claim if you ask for reasonable accommodation for your disability and your supervisor begins harassing you about your disability and giving you poor performance reviews. Talk to an employment discrimination attorney representing clients in Washington, D.C. to see if you have a case.
If you are black and your coworkers and supervisor call you the n-word and leave nooses on your desk, and HR tells you to learn how to take a joke, you may have a claim for racial harassment.Filing a Discrimination Claim
You can file a discrimination claim with the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights or the EEOC. These agencies cooperate with each other on claims, assuming the laws they enforce both apply to the employer that is subject to the claim. You'll need to indicate to one agency you would like to cross-file the claim with the other agency. When your workplace has fewer than 15 employees, you will need to file with the Office of Human Rights (OHR). However, the District of Columbia Human Rights Act doesn't require you to file with the OHR before pursuing a discrimination claim in court.
There are short windows of time within which you must file your charge of employment discrimination. It's important to seek legal counsel as soon as you realize you might have a claim.Consult a Washington, D.C. Employment Discrimination Lawyer
If you believe you have grounds for an employment discrimination lawsuit in Washington, D.C., you should talk to Matthew T. Famiglietti about your situation. Mr. Famiglietti is dedicated to serving workers in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. He also represents federal employees. Complete our online form or call the Law Office of Matthew T. Famiglietti at (202) 669-5880.

Where We're Eating: Rat's Restaurant
This summer, Stephen Starr took over Rat's Restaurant, the elegant fine-dining venue at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey. The restaurant had always enjoyed a reputation for good food, but Starr has stationed chef Kevin Sbraga behind the stove, who recently served as culinary director for Jose Garces's restaurant group. (Before that, he cheffed at the Grill at the Ritz Carlton in Center City.) Prices are bit lower now than they have been in the past, with most entrées in mid-$20s, but the reduction has not translated to a loss of quality. The menu now sports a few interesting and creative touches — like a sweetly acidic tomato sorbet served with the local tomato salad — and Sbraga has not yet made all the menu changes he intends.
During a recent visit, I enjoyed the foie gras terrine, which combines creamy liver with sweet brioche and bracingly bitter grapefruit marmalade to good effect. Sbraga's tuna tartare comes with crème fraîche, thinly sliced baby radishes, and crunchy potato chips in a memorable version of what is sometimes a forgettable dish. Entrées were a shade less good: Bronzino was served in a pungently fishy broth, and shrimp scampi with mushrooms and truffled vinaigrette was well executed but uninspired. Housemade ice creams and sorbets are nice way to wrap up the meal — especially after an afternoon spent taking in all the art on the grounds. The art and a table at Rat's make for a lovely date on a fall Saturday afternoon.

Recording History
From Weezerpedia
(Redirected from Weezer Recording History)
Recording History is the name of an extensive chronological overview of demo and studio recordings made by Weezer or by individual band members from the late 80s to 2005. It was compiled by Karl Koch and originally introduced in 2000 on weezer.net (the official website's predecessor), where it was titled Weezer and it's "cousins": a recording history. It was later part of the info section on weezer.com until 2014. Over the years it had been updated and expanded. The last update was made in 2011 after the release of the deluxe edition reissue of Pinkerton and the (re)discovery of the song "Tragic Girl".
In 2016 the Recording History was added to Weezerpedia and there are plans by Karl to update, correct, and possibly re-structure it.

What's New: Look 'Em Straight in the Ears
Updated: Apr 15, 2019
Lucy Jordan investigates the Danny Nedelko Community spawned within Balley Records, a collective revolving around the new breed of punk, mindful, manic and accomplished.
Balley Records is the home for the new, new wave of punk introducing the Danny Nedelko Community so - and I quote- 'fuck you' #dannynedelkocommunitysofuckyou.
Idles, Heavy Lungs and LICE are the Bristol grown faces redefining punk for a new generation with rainbows, colour and tattoos.
Punk has grown up since the late 70's, it is no longer about smashing the shit out of a guitar on stage and screaming at the audience, its now got elegance and grace. The lyrics pinpoint everything wrong within this generation with the same passion and aggression as the Pistols or The Damned. Balley Records encompassess the whole new era of punk and they're expanding the 'Nedelko' community with their latest signing, Crows from north London. Each band under the label brings their own slice of originality to the new punk scene- Crows bring their psychedelic aesthetic, Heavy Lungs incorporate the old indie appearance and LICE provide humour and copious amounts of sarcasm within their music videos, the Human Parasite Video in particular.
Although Idles are not on the Balley Records label anymore, they are involved in the community immensely, Due to Talbot. Recently Sleaford Mods shot at Idles, suggesting they were appropriating the working class to which Talbot responded, in a new interview with The Independent, saying "This idea that I can't speak out against austerity or food banks – that I can't think one of the richest economies in the world having fucking food banks is wrong – I can't say that because I'm fortunate enough to be able to feed my child? What the fuck is wrong with this guy?", and this is exactly what Balley records stands for, any artist from any social background can use the record label as a platform to release their music that criticises the exploitation of women across all media platform, social issues regarding the perfect appearance and everything else that's wrong with the world in a mature, sarcastic approach.
Supporting indie record stores is something Balley Records works hard at doing, with their roster of artists playing a selection of stores on record store day. The label also distribute their vinyl and CD's to many independent record shops, such as Crash Records, Rough Trade and Juno records, keeping the spirit of indie and DIY alive which is what punk has always stood for. The main focus is on limited edition 7" and 12" vinyl for every bands release, this is to create a relationship with their consumers and audience, vinyl resonates with certain groups of people, and one of those groups are indie punk lovers - it's the artwork, the connection to the band and they love to have a physical product to cradle and care for just like a child.

As always, I didn't have a problem finding PR ethics issues to highlight this week. While the limo ride is an obvious example, and one I plan to discuss in class tonight, I wanted to focus on a few other interesting stories including various forms of censorship:
- Avoid being an ostrich or a turtle – On Tuesday, PRSA came out with an advocacy statement in response to a PRWeek story that Tesla appears to have eliminated its public relations department. Of course, if there is no PR department, no one is responding to media inquiries about it to confirm or deny it. Effective, strategic public relations is grounded in two-way, symmetrical communication and the code of ethics requires the free flow of information. My only quibble with the statement is I wish PRSA had attached a name to the statement as it would have made it stronger.
- Webtoons and censorship – A hot topic for discussion in my ethics class last week was the call to censor popular Korean webcomics. There is a lot to unpack here including – what content is too disgusting and where do you draw the line? Is misogyny enough? What control does the platform have? Do artists have the freedom to create what they like? This is playing out in Science Fiction and Fantasy in the US with the backlash against Sad Puppies and other authors and is relevant to any organization with a forum or who serves as a platform.
- Ethics can't be situational – This week, Tim O'Brien (who I interviewed for EthicalVoices), highlighted the issues with ethical relativism and challenges between global cultures. He had a great example when a student told him in his country it was OK to lie. Tim asked him if it was OK for him to tell him he was getting and A and then give him a C. The reaction was strong and obvious. The article makes a number of other nice points as well.
- Don't embezzle – It doesn't matter if you follow deontology, teleology or a virtue-based approach to ethics – all agree that embezzling is unethical. This PR Week article highlights how a firm's co-founder embezzled $786,000 from the firm, violating both the law and many tenets of the PRSA Code of Ethics.

Nexport to build electric vehicles in Australia
The electric bus manufacturer Nexport has announced plans for the production of electric vehicles in a new plant in the Australian state of New South Wales. It will initially produce buses, but later also other types of vehicles such as cars, trucks and vans.
The planned production facility of Nexport, a subsidiary of the clean-tech investment group TrueGreen, is intended to revitalise nothing less than the Australian automotive industry.
The location between Sydney and Canberra was strategically chosen because the company expects the greatest demand in these cities, according to several media reports. Nexport is also involved in the procurement of 8,000 electric buses for the state's public bus network via the government of New South Wales. The investment in the plant is expected to amount to 700 million Australian dollars and create around 2,000 new jobs within five years. There are contradictory statements about the planned production of the plant. While the portal Car Advice speaks of the end of 2021, The Driven states that full operational strength is to be achieved in five years.
One way or another, Nexport wants to combine local production with the "sensible import" of key components from abroad in the future. A partnership already exists with the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, which will supply its drives and initially also the chassis for the electric buses. Nexport is currently assembling its buses in assembly plants in China and Malaysia, with the company sourcing some parts from Switzerland. The manufacturer intends to close the assembly plant in Malaysia in favour of Down Under. Until the plant in New South Wales is ready, according to media reports, production will already be in an "interim plant". The order backlog currently amounts to 115 buses.
Nexport also wants to make a name for itself as an importer of electric vehicles by the time its plant is completed. To this end, the manufacturer is currently creating an import platform called EV Direct. Plans include importing the BYD Tang SUV, the BYD Song PHEV crossover and the BYD Qin compact sedan, with Nexport carrying out all the necessary technical upgrades on-site. Further car brands are to follow.

Course Release Celebration
What a crazy year it has been. Remeber back in May when I told everyone to be excited for the end of Summer? Well there is no place where that statement was more true than here at LearnKey. Don't get me wrong we love the great summer weather here is Southern Utah, but over the past few months the LearnKey team has been busy creating and releasing our latest A+, Network+, and IC³ courses. These courses turned out totally awesome, and if you have not had a chance to look at them, follow the previous links to view their product overviews.
We also had the big release of our Career Readiness Bundle, which includes courses that offers valuable information to teens and those who are trying to enter the workforce. Take a look at the course overview.
To celebrate these big releases, LearnKey threw the production teams a "Course Release Celebration". I have to give huge props to the production teams. They worked really hard and put in some major overtime to make sure that these courses were finished. The team had a fantastic time enjoying a catered lunch and bowling. A big thanks to the management team for providing the celebration and also a big thanks to the production team for all of the work they put into these courses.

Our Method
The problem: Under-utilized Clean Energy Resources
There are 80,000 dams in the U.S. and less than 3% generate electricity. Most were built for other purposes: Flood control, navigation, drinking water reservoirs and recreation. Wisconsin alone has over 800 non-powered dams, with several scavenger sites that once operated feed or lumber mill machinery. The high cost of retrofitting these sites with small turbines is a clear barrier to entry.
Cadens' target market is small low-head hydropower plants. There are currently over 1,700 small hydropower plants in the country providing low-carbon, reliable electricity. A resource assessment indicated the presence of an additional 29 GW of new technical potential across 10,000 sites. However, the DOE modeled the deployment of this potential and predicted 0 GW will be developed by 2050, unless the industry can radically reduce costs. DOE suggested exploring the use of new materials and manufacturing methods as one cost reduction pathway, a pathway Cadens was already investigating. ORNL has also suggested using standardization and modularity as strategies to make small low-head hydropower development affordable.
Our Solution: Initial Cadens S-Turbine Product
Cadens' initial minimum viable product (MVP) units are micro-to-small hydropower S-turbine systems, with stator vanes, runner, shaft, bearings and seals, curved conveyance including intake and diffuser, as well as a generator located out of the flow path for simplicity in assembly, installation, and maintenance. The system is modular in that several sub-components are manufactured and then assembled to make the final integrated machine: a powertrain plus conveyance system.
The electrical generator hardware will be based on a modular design, so that a minimum number of components can be used to cover the largest possible range of applications. The resulting family of generator sizes will be taken into account in the turbine design in order to get an optimal matched design for best energy output. A critical aspect of the electrical part of the system, however, is the control of the generator over a relatively wide range of flows. Traditionally, generator sets are designed at specific load points where efficiency is maximized. In the present case, efficiency optimization will be done over the expected load cycle of the system, using the same flow data gathered for the turbine design. In this respect, recent advances in wind generator and vehicular control systems will be adapted to water flow scenarios.
Where we are today – Ultra-low Head Micro-Hydropower AM Test Bed:
Cadens' AM Micro-hydro Test Bed (Figure 3) allows further advancement in the state-of-the-art of the runner and turbine as well as energy conversion methods and system optimization. This test bed is the first and only of its kind, supporting industry in testing system components, materials, and energy conversion/storage regimes. With a first prototype of the system successfully tested in 2020 at its operating mill, Cadens can now move to refining and productionizing this product.
Cadens unique testing capabilities have been at the core of the business development. It is now used to demonstrate the feasibility and affordability of large format additive manufacturing and other AM technologies for small hydro components.

Storm weathered, minor damage
An Ipsos-MORI poll in this morning's Times has shown a small decrease in support for independence, with figures among those certain to vote running at 35% Yes (down 4%) to 55% No (up 5%). The poll was the first full-sample one conducted in several months, and asked respondents the Scottish Government's favoured question, so it's a sound enough survey, and the headline figures clearly aren't great for nationalists.
What's odd, though, is that most commentators seem to be treating it as evidence of a fundamental shift in the direction of opinion. The reality is that at this moment in time, these numbers are something close to miraculously good for the Yes camp.
In the gap between the previous poll and this one, the UK re-entered recession, and times of economic crisis are always reflected in shrinking support for what's perceived as a risky step in going it alone (regardless of how counter-intuitive it is to cling to a government and state that's mismanaging the economy so disastrously).
We're also slap bang in the middle of the last great ejaculation of British nationalism before the referendum. We've just endured blanket wall-to-wall coverage of the Diamond Jubilee, the Union Jack is being endlessly thrust in everyone's face by daily news reports as the Olympic torch trundles its way around the country in the back of a van, and the European Championship is demonstrating that at least in some respects Scotland IS too small and stupid and feeble to take its place on the world stage, certainly for as long as Craig Levein is manager.
On top of this there's been a huge, concerted and sustained cross-media smear campaign against the SNP and the First Minister over links to Rupert Murdoch, which was only relieved with what was generally regarded as a stellar performance by Salmond at the Leveson inquiry. (The poll, which shows a small dip in the FM's personal ratings but still leaves him far ahead of the opposition was conducted in the week before his appearance at the inquiry.)
Yet despite all the advantages of this convergence of events, the No camp has only managed a tiny swing of 4.5% in its favour. It's a bit like playing a football match kicking down a 30-degree slope and only being 1-0 up at half-time: you're happy to be in the lead, but you're not looking forward to the next 45 minutes.
If the Scottish nationalist movement can make it through the summer of 2012 still within sight of its opponent – and these numbers are certainly touching distance, requiring just 10% of No voters to be persuaded in over two years – the game is very much on. 2014 will be culturally a year of Scottishness perhaps unparallelled in living memory (though we're sure Wills and Kate are being made acutely aware of their duty to throw a timely spanner in the works), and will very likely provide a significant boost to the Yes campaign.
Politically, meanwhile, we'll either be out of recession and on the road to recovery (which ironically makes people less scared of independence, and will also mean the Tories are far more likely to win the next general election, throwing Scotland's choice into sharp focus), or the UK economy will be SO ruined that even the most diehard Scottish defenders of the Union will have no choice but to acknowledge that we couldn't possibly do any worse by ourselves.
Had this poll put support for independence below 30%, we'd be worried. As it is, we've soaked up all their best punches and they're about to run out of puff. The No camp gambled everything on a furious early blitzkrieg attack, but failed to land the knockout blow. It's up for grabs now.

Larry Hunt
Committee – Building and Grounds
Larry is a former Naval Officer who spent twenty plus years in the reserves and on active duty before retiring and working for twenty plus years for various government contractors in Washington, DC. While in the Navy, he spent time in the Far East, Norfolk, VA, and Washington DC. He and his wife first visited Asheville in the 1990s, looking for a place to retire. They had learned the Asheville area is centrally located from places like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Charleston with good medical facilities – an important consideration when one is thinking about retiring. When they first visited Mountain Air, they had no intention to buy. They fell in love with the small-town atmosphere and soon found themselves with an architect (Armin Wessel) and a ten-year retirement plan. In July 2010, they made the move to Burnsville/Mountain Air. That fall, he was nominated to the Parkway Playhouse Board. During his first time on the Board, he served as Vice President and then President. After a short time away, he was nominated to return. While serving on the Board, he has been on the Executive, Finance, Fund Raising, and Building and Grounds Committee, where he serves today.
In addition to serving on Parkway Playhouse's Board, he spent time on Davis and Elkins College Alumni Council – for a period as the President. He enjoys playing tennis and pickleball, which he just took up in the last year. He and his wife enjoy traveling, including ocean cruising. Since retiring, they have been on safari in South Africa, New Zealand, India, and Australia, to name a few places.

Designs have been produced for two vaccines that should, in theory, provide immunity against almost all strains of the influenza virus. Such protection has been a dream for medical researchers for many years, and though neither proposals have been tested in animals, let alone in humans, these proposals do avoid problems that have brought other attempts at universal flu vaccines unstuck.
Dr Darren Flower of Aston University, UK, lead an international team in targeting short segments of the flu virus called epitopes. In the journal Bioinformatics, Flower notes that animal studies have found that epitopes that prime the immune system's T cells can provide protection against a wide variety of flu strains. "Epitope-based vaccines aren't new, but most reports have no experimental validation. We have turned the problem on its head and only use previously-tested epitopes. This allows us to get the best of both worlds, designing a vaccine with a very high likelihood of success." Flower said in a statement.
Flower and his co-authors used a database of 1,026 influenza epitopes and looked for combinations that might protect against most strains of flu that have been seen in recent years. One vaccine, based on nine epitopes, focused on flu varieties that have been common in the US. A second version was more ambitious, using 11 epitopes in a quest for worldwide protection.
The paper predicts the resulting vaccines could protect against 95 percent of American flu subtypes and 88 percent of those seen worldwide, respectively. Nevertheless, the authors acknowledge that the way epitopes are linked together in a vaccine is crucial if it is to achieve its potential, so while they are seeking partners to make their proposal a reality, the path to do so is not simple.
By referring to unpleasant, but non-lethal, colds as "the flu" we diminish perceptions of how dangerous influenza really is. The real flu virus kills an estimated half a million people a year. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 killed tens of millions, and unlike in seasonal outbreaks, it was not only the elderly and those sick with other conditions who died.
Existing vaccines are effective against particular strains of influenza, but the virus mutates so quickly that every year there are new varieties we need inoculating against. Annual injections are recommended to protect against the three strains predicted to be most widespread in a particular season, but even the minority who are vaccinated remain vulnerable to rarer varieties. Moreover, the predictions can be wrong. This year a quadrivalent vaccine (one protective against four strains) was hastily released after virologists became alarmed about a strain not included in the original vaccine.
The most common strategy to build a universal vaccine is to focus on the more stable parts of the proteins on the surface of the virus. Unfortunately, some targeted protein sections have proven less stable than expected, undermining such attempts. Flower's technique has the potential to avoid this problem.

Amazon's Early Black Friday Best Kitchen Buys
Amazon is ready for Black Friday and has announced its Early Black Friday sales last Friday, November 1st, over a month before the real Black Friday. In fact, those deals will be available all the way until Christmas, giving you enough time to shop for all your loved ones and for yourself. The deals come in by the thousands and cover every category and every area of your life. While navigating all that is not easy, we are here to guide you through the best kitchen deals that you've been waiting and definitely shouldn't miss.
When is the official Black Friday?
While the real Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 29th this year, expect to see early Black Friday deals from all major retailers. It seems that there is a race between the biggest stores to see how early and how low can they go, and we don't mind that one bit!
Where can we find the best Black Friday deals on Amazon?
First of all, you should check out Amazon's Happy HoliDeals section for discounted toys, electronics, home, beauty, and kitchen. Then browse through their gift guides for some great ideas and equally great deals. If you spot an item you need for a good price, you should grab it right away, because some of those sales might be Lightning Deals and gone within a few hours or get sold out pretty fast.
Many special deals are exclusive to Prime members, so consider becoming one or at least start a free 30-day trial in time for Black Friday. Members get access not only to all the deals, but also free music, videos, e-books, audio streaming, and of course the infamous free 2-day shipping on everything. You can cancel the trial after 30 days or love it and stay with Amazon for $119 per year.
What about kitchen deals?
If last year was any indication, we should see big discounts on Instant Pots, blenders, coffee machines, mixers, and more. We have gone through the deals that are already available this year and this is what we have found:
- Instant Pot 8-Quart 7-1 Cooker - $99 (was $140) – no kitchen should be without this pot that gets everything done extra fast and extra tasty

PICO presentations are organized in sessions scheduled at specific PICO spots, indicated in the programme together with the time of presentation of each contribution. The PICO sessions are scheduled in four 105-minute time blocks per day. The networking break, 18:00–19:00, offers refreshments, and is dedicated to networking and additional poster and PICO viewing.
|Time block
Prepare your PICO presentation
A PICO presentation consists of a 2-minute oral followed by presentation time at a touch screen. PICO authors are kindly asked to prepare one presentation file fulfilling both needs, 1) a summary of your work for the introductory 2-minute oral, as well as 2) an unlimited number of slides going into more detail for the following viewing and discussion time at the touch screen. The touch screens have a size of 42". The operating system is Windows 10. Your presentation file must be PowerPoint or PDF and videos and animations should be embedded.
The slide(s) used for your 2-minute oral should include a one-sentence summary of each slide at the bottom to help audience follow the presentation.
Since the touch screens are in wide-screen format, we recommend producing your presentation with an 16:9 aspect ratio. However, you can also prepare your presentation in the classic 4:3 format. The extra space is then used for the branding of the contribution as well as the navigation.
Since visitors watch your PICO presentation file on touch screens, a decent navigation must be enabled. There are two options: you can either implement links yourself within your presentation file so one can click to navigate, or you can produce a classic presentation where the visitor must move forward and backward through your slides. For the latter, our PICO staff will implement three buttons on site upon presentation upload to move forwards and backwards, as well as to access the table of contents of that particular session. We determine the position of these buttons together with you. If you include the navigation through links yourself, we will only include a home button to go back to the table of contents. In any case, please keep in mind to provide empty space on your slides where our implemented buttons can be shown without covering parts of your presentation.
Please download our guide on How to make a PICO.
PICO presentation upload

- Please consider adding a one-sentence summary of each slide at the bottom to help audience follow the presentation
- Consider adding a QR code to the author's website or a website with further information
- Please always use the microphone for your 2-minute oral, independent of your vocal abilities. All PICO spots' audio signal is streamed allowing people with hearing difficulties to better follow the presentations

I flew with Patrick in Saskatoon at Westwind Aviation and we also played soccer together on Milita FC. We flew the King Air 200 all over the prairies mostly into the northern mine sites doing crew changes and serving the northern communities. I have many fond memories of our flights, our soccer games and socials after. I was sad to hear that Patrick passed away. I'm unable to make it to the celebration of his life. Please accept my condolences.
- This event has passed.

.MOBI Domain Name Registrations
More and more people use mobile devices to access the World Wide Web, so the need for mobile-friendly websites is ever increasing. To fulfill this demand, the entity that controls the universal top-level domain name extensions, ICANN, introduced the .MOBI domain extension in 2005. The first registrations were allowed in September 2006, and the idea behind this domain name extension is that all websites that use it have to comply with certain restrictions. In other words, all .MOBI websites must be developed to be viewed faultlessly by mobile devices in agreement with the so-called "MWI Best Practices for mobile content" established by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) in partnership with the dot MOBI Registry organization. These involve how a website is being navigated, the way it is being displayed (form and size), etc.
The rules have induced some questions taking into account that the universal top-level domain extension is the only one that specifies what devices ought to be able to open a website and the way in which this needs to happen, breaking the so-called principles of device independence, according to which a web page should be built in such a way as to be accessed by most Internet browsers and devices, be they mobile or stationary.
Considering the fact that the .MOBI Registry organization does not register domains directly, you can purchase a .MOBI domain with any 3rd-party company, such as ours. If you have an already active domain, you can also move it over to our firm if you get its EPP code from your present registrar. If you do that, you'll be able to manage your domain(s) and hosting account from a single place – our Hepsia Control Panel interface.
.MOBI Domain Management with GET-WEB SupremeHosting
Multiple domain name administration will seem like a snap when you use GET-WEB SupremeHosting's Domain Manager, which comes absolutely free with each newly registered domain. You'll have complete control of every domain management element (DNS controls, WHOIS info, etc.).
Those who have a hosting account with us can manage their web sites as well as their domains through one and the same user-friendly user interface.

How to value and preserve water
Water, the source of life - celebrated this week on World Water Day – is under pressure from climate change. With some regions becoming drier and others ever more exposed to flooding, the need to find and share new ways to husband this vital resource, and measure its value so it can be built into economic development and work creation strategies, is intensifying.
This is why one of the new areas in the EBRD's expanded green planning for the half-decade to 2025, as it moves towards making a majority of its investments green, is looking at how best to invest in natural capital, from soil and sustainable land management to water and water ecosystems.
Celebrating World Water Day
The EBRD asked colleagues, clients and partners to share what they think of water and its importance.

When the owners of Tea Center approached the EBRD in 2017, they had a rapidly growing but comparatively unstructured tea production business.

As a result, sales increased by 35 per cent and profit grew by over 50 per cent.
