Review Panels
The Minister of the Environment may refer an environmental assessment to a review panel if the Minister is of the opinion that it is in the public interest to do so. A review panel is a group of independent experts appointed by the Minister of the Environment to conduct an environmental assessment.
The review panel submits a report to the Minister of the Environment that sets out the panel's rationale, conclusions and recommendations, including any proposed mitigation measures and suggestions for a follow-up program.
For information on designated projects proposed since the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 came into force, visit the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry.
Current | Completed | Terminated
An environmental assessment by review panel is defined as current until the Minister's decision concerning the environmental effects of the project has been taken.
- None at this time
An environmental assessment by review panel is defined as completed when the decision concerning the environmental effects of the project has been taken by the responsible authority(ies) or, in the case of decisions issued under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, by the Minister of the Environment. Where applicable, after an environmental assessment decision has been taken, the responsible authority(ies) must establish a follow-up program to verify the accuracy of the environmental assessment of a project and to determine the effectiveness of any measures taken to mitigate the adverse environmental effects of the project.

German car manufacturers love creating works of engineering wonder, even if they aren't the most economical solutions. Unfortunately, that can lead to some complications for owners 20+ years down the road. Case in point, the Porsche 911 Turbo built between 2001 and 2012 (covering both the "996" and "997" models) utilizes a complicated system of hydraulic actuators and rams to swiftly, quietly, and smoothly lift and lower the rear spoiler. While definitely slick, this system is now a known failure point. I do not have hard statistics on hand, but anecdotally it seems like most cars are affected at some point (if you do have the actual numbers, let us know if the comments!). Fortunately, industrious minds equal to those at Porsche have been hard at work crafting economical and long lasting aftermarket solutions, and teaching owners how to increase the longevity of the Porsche system. Below I discuss the pros and cons of the Rennkit eRam Kit, as well as a few alternatives.
But before reading on, I want to take a moment to spotlight, and thank the many aftermarket suppliers and experts (Rennkit and others) that help many of us keep our cars on the road and fully functional. Support them and their products as a way of saying thanks.
Fool Me Once:
My 2001 996 Turbo was already on (at least) its second Porsche hydraulic ram system when I bought it, and that one recently exhibited a telltale sign of failure: lopsided retraction. There are many known failure points, most deriving from the hydraulic fluid and failure at one seal or another. Mine failed at the actuator in the middle, as evidenced by the fluid that leaked under the fan shroud and rubber seal on my engine lid. The original system in my car was replaced by a prior owner at a dealer in 2011 at a cost of nearly $3,000. I have heard current estimates between $3,000 to $4,000 for a new dealer installed Porsche system. Keep in mind, it will almost certainly fail again. And as a former President once said, "Fool me once... shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again." Wait, what?
You Can't Get Fooled Again:
I chose to replace my Porsche hydraulic spoiler system with an aftermarket solution. The Rennkit eRam replaces the entire system with electric rams, and includes a small electronic circuit that provides full original system functionality without triggering faults (stock functionality includes auto deployment/retraction at set speeds, and manual operation via a dash mounted button). The eRam system is a very popular replacement choice among 996 and 997 Turbo owners. As with every mod, I kept the entire original system intact in case a downstream owner wants to return to stock configuration.
Pros of the eRam:
- Cheaper than original system;
- DIY friendly;
- Reported increased longevity;
- Full functionality;
- No messing with hydraulic fluid; and
- Customization.
Cons of the eRam:
- Purchase/installation was not seamless;
- Slower (or pay more for upgraded speed);
- Noisy;
- Ram shafts are not as visually pleasing;
- Not original equipment; and
- Customer service issues.
More on the Pros:
The basic Rennkit eRam system is reported by many to provide greater longevity, is cheaper, and provides options to customize. For instance, you can choose from one of multiple different deployment heights, and one of two speeds of operation. While my kit is too new to discuss longevity, from what I can tell many customers remain satisfied several years on. I chose the 3 inch kit, which is just ever so slightly higher than the stock setting, but still looks very original with my stock spoiler/wing. I chose not to pay more for the "fast" speed setting. With protective dust boots this setup cost just south of $1,600 after a small Rennlist discount.
More on the Cons:
I chose this system because I was willing to give up originality for a system that is cheaper, cleaner, and DIY friendly. The product is working well, and I think those goals were accomplished. However, all was not seamless with my purchase and installation. My system shipped with the wrong "micro-module," the chip that enables the system to communicate with the ECU to offer dash-light free full operation. The manufacturer was not quick to respond, shipped a system via USPS which would have taken several days to reach me under the best circumstances, and then unfortunately and through no fault of the manufacturer, the replacement was lost in the mail (although I must question the choice of carrier). This meant further cumbersome back and forth until, at my request, Rennkit was willing to send me another unit which I then installed. Rennkit was insistent I return the old unit (my guess is to protect intellectual property) but did not include a return shipping envelope or postage despite the fact this was Rennkit's error. Finally after going through the trouble of shipping two modules back to Rennkit, I got an email accusing me a sending it the wrong address, but with no further request. Weird. Communications from Rennkit were not that clear, slow in coming, and there was no apology about the failed module. All in all my interactions with Rennkit were not particularly pleasant or helpful. A minor annoyance really, but so went my experience. I think it is only fair to add that many others have had positive experiences with the seller, and he has a long history positive reviews on Rennlist. All I can speak to is my isolated interaction.
Including the 2 weeks it took me to find time to execute the initial install, it was 8 weeks from order date to a fully functional installation. Total work time (w/o micro module replacement) was about 4.5 hours. I am a hack wrench at best. I could halve that on a second try, and others will undoubtedly be quicker. I highly recommend the optional specialized wrench.
Other Alternatives:
- Aftermarket improvements to the OE system;
- Create a maintenance interval to extend longevity of OE system; or
- Is there another aftermarket system? Let me know in the comments!
At left (above on mobile), you can see where my system was leaking. This is the hydraulic actuator in the middle of the system, which lives under the fan shroud. This leaking fluid was not evident until the shroud was removed! You can also see a slight drip of fluid on the right side ram, in the pics in the gallery. My system was probably experiencing simultaneous leaks.
Rennkit eRams are not the only option. Other aftermarket suppliers offer rebuilds of the OE system that replace some of the known failure points. One such service is offered by Ultimate Motorwerks, one of the most trusted and highly regarded suppliers of 996/7 Turbo aftermarket support. Alternatively, there are threads online such as this one that describe a maintenance program including periodic replacement of the hydraulic fluid (pentosin) to increase longevity. Sounds messy to me, maybe you're into that kind of thing?
I now have a fully functional wing that should have increased longevity over the original, for about $1,600 plus my own install time. I recommend the Rennkit eRam for anyone who needs to replace their original Porsche hydraulic spoiler rams. See video below for operation after install, and gallery at the bottom for more pics.

In recent months, Clubhouse has been all the rage. Since its release in March 2020, despite invite-only membership, the app has garnered 10 million+ users globally. Its rise is being spurred by endorsements from celebrities like Elon Musk. This phenomenon highlights the appeal of live audio chat for the modern audience. However, the concept of Clubhouse is nothing unique. Here is a closer look at such solutions and their development.
The pandemic has led to a surge in social media use, and the statistics are spectacular. According to We Are Social's Digital 2020 October Snapshot, over 4 billion people use networking apps each month. In the global context, this translates into a 53% penetration rate. A measly 11% of all internet users avoid social media. Every day, these networks register around 2 million new members.
Drop us a line and let's discuss your idea.
This is a convincing background for networking product development. Facebook and dating apps are now commonplace, and their content moderation policies are controversial. Users of spontaneous voice apps share ideas, exercising their freedom of speech.
On the other hand, these apps play on the fear of missing out. Audio chat discussions are not recordable — users need to be online to listen and participate.
This popularity is not limited to the US: Clubhouse is now the most downloaded app in Germany, Japan, Turkey, and Slovakia. So, how to develop a social networking app to leverage this trend?
What Is a Clubhouse?
Clubhouse is a minimalist app. It is built around voice chatting: You may host and join discussions via your phone. There are no videos or pictures aside from profile photos, and text is very limited. Audio is at the core — in a sense, using Clubhouse is like joining a live podcast. Let's now get down to the nitty-gritty.
Once you open the app, you see a list of "rooms" — i.e., discussion groups. You may create your own or join an existing one. Each room is dedicated to a particular topic, and its key speaker is usually a pioneer or expert in this domain. Importantly, there is no way to save conversations.
The app started gaining traction after celebrities as Oprah and Drake registered on it. The audience has since expanded to social media personalities and podcast hosts who communicate with their peers and followers. Over time, the app has seen spectacular growth:
The exclusivity of access and the ephemeral nature of discussions are major selling points. On the one hand, high-profile members feel more secure. On the other hand, they need not worry that something they say will become headline news. The fact that a Clubhouse conversation cannot be recorded is a major advantage over Instagram Live.
Essential Clubhouse Features
To understand how to create a social networking app, consider the key functionality of Clubhouse. Although voice chat is minimalistic, the range of features is broad. To make the app convenient, its creators have included the following.
You can only become a member via an invitation from someone who is already on the app. After a click on the invite link, you will see a welcome message from the Clubhouse creators. To register, you need to enter your real name and submit a profile photo. Once your request is verified, you can pick a discussion room. For convenience, all new users are muted, but they can switch on their microphones at any time.
2Personal Feed
As the app is built around discussions, this is exactly what fills the feed. A user is presented with a list of groups (rooms). For each discussion, the title and its members are visible. At the moment, the most popular topics are politics, business, and networking. After all, the app was originally devised as a platform for the chosen few.
This is where discussions take place. Each room provides digital space for up to 5,000 users simultaneously. They may view existing rooms, join them, or create their own using the "Start" button at the bottom.
All groups are divided into three categories. First, there are "open" rooms, which are accessible by anyone. Secondly, there are "social" rooms for friends only. Finally, some discussions are closed, so your request must be approved by existing members.
Another crucial question for developing a social networking app like Clubhouse is: How do you prevent communication from turning into cacophony? Clubhouse has special rules for discussion management. When a user wants to speak, they "raise their hand." Discussions may be left with or without announcement — there is a handy "Leave quietly" function.
4Profiles of Users
A profile is also basic: There is an image, name, and brief description. Links to other social media platforms (e.g., Twitter and Instagram) are allowed. Inside a room, you may open any fellow member's profile to see what rooms they belong to, their invitations, and the time they were received. In a sense, this is similar to the followers/following duality on Instagram.
Users pick clubs according to their interests and connect to like-minded people, which is reminiscent of Facebook communities. Members can view the list of participants, add new ones, and suggest topics for discussion.
Club creation is a privilege: Newbies are not able to do it until they organize three conversations in their rooms. This requires moderation, and currently, each member can launch a single club only. There are three possible user statuses:
- Founders (admins) may add and remove members, amend the rules and description, and schedule private and public rooms. They can invite new users directly via their secret invite link.
- Members may open private rooms, view existing ones, and suggest new members.
- All followers can do is view public rooms created by the admin.
Like any other social app, Clubhouse sends announcements and updates via push notifications. For instance, when someone you follow creates a new room, the app will invite you to view it. If you launch a stream, a notification is automatically sent to all of your subscribers. Next, their own subscribers will learn about your room, and the number of participants will rise exponentially./
This section lists interactions with a user's account, including their new followers. Users may also see members, the clubs someone has joined, and planned events.
Drop us a line and let's discuss your idea.
Of course, you cannot omit this function when making a social networking app. Clubhouse members may find groups by topic, or particular users by name.
Upcoming for You
This section shows scheduled discussions. For each event, it mentions the title of the conversation, its planned starting time, the speakers involved, and a brief outline of the topics. Users may plan and add events to their Calendar. Importantly, while some events may be concurrent, you may only choose one for a particular time slot.
How to Develop a Social Networking App Like Clubhouse
So, how can an app of this type (live audio chat) be developed? The process begins with the choice of the development team. Professionals can build an impressive voice app from scratch based on your requirements, and even submit it to the market, and do further support.
1The Discovery Phase
The team collects and analyzes data concerning the goals and scope of work, timing, and task implementation plan. This ensures the final product meets the client's requirements and the users' expectations. Following market analysis, the team comes up with a project description and assesses the lead time. Discovery allows developers to establish the necessary solutions, functions, features, platforms, and budgetary constraints.
2Development and Design
With a clear vision of the core functionality, developers may get down to business. A voice chat app may be designed for iOS, Android, or both. Bear in mind that the tech stacks of each system are fundamentally different.
Wireframing — creating a skeleton of the app — allows the team to lay out the content and functionality. This rough structure is turned into a prototype — a working model. This is the last step separating you from the final design and product. Once the app is ready and released, it is time to invite users and promote it.
Consider an MVP
Building a perfect, fully-featured product from the start is a rare achievement. It is both costly and time-consuming. Instead, the team may build a minimum viable product (MVP) in order to enter the market immediately.
The pilot version of the app will have only the core features (low effort/high impact) so the first users may try it and give feedback. Subsequently, the developers will enhance the product, adding features to a better user experience and appeal. This approach will allow you to develop an audio social media app like Clubhouse and have it get noticed more quickly.
Develop a Social Networking App: How Long Will It Take?
So, if you were to develop a social networking app, how long would it take? On average, a social media application takes up to 2,000 hours to develop. This includes work on UX and UI, testing, deployment, and project management.
How Much Will It Cost to Develop a Social Networking App Like Clubhouse?
To develop an MVP of an audio social media app like Clubhouse, developers will require about 1,500 hours and a budget of $60,000 could suffice. You should note that the calculations are based on the rates of Estern European developers (Ukrainians) – $40/h.
However, the total depends on the scope. If you want something more advanced and versatile, the price tag will increase – it may even reach over $200,000. The final result is the sum of efforts by the following professionals (each has their own hourly rate):
- Business Analyst
- Project Manager (Scrum Master)
- DevOps Engineer
- UI/UX Designer
- iOS/Android or Flutter Developer(s)
- Back-End Developer(s)
- Quality Assurance Engineer(s)
Drop us a line and let's discuss your idea.
Final Thoughts
Today, mobile technologies are more pervasive than ever. The rise of Clubhouse reflects humanity's hunger for spontaneous voice communication. Such innovative solutions are powerful. They allow users to share experiences freely. The demand is strong, and the popularity of such systems is only expected to grow.
Investing in online audio chats is a feasible and viable business idea. Attract Group has been creating advanced IT solutions since 2011. We help businesses in different industries leverage new opportunities through websites and apps. Contact us for a free quote, and build a social networking app like Clubhouse easily!

The Centre needs to facilitate, standardise the corporate buyout of renewable energy projects and simultaneously ensure security, stability of electricity grid
In India, the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector accounts for nearly 45 per cent of the electricity consumption. The Central Electricity Authority forecasts for national power requirement in 2021-22 shows demand increasing to over 50 per cent. Although renewable energy shares in the grid have increased over the last few years, thermal sources still account for 64.3 per cent of the power mix. If the new demand arising from the C&I sector can be met by renewable energy (RE), it would inch India that much closer to the 175 GW target by 2022.
Corporations across continents are committing to sourcing 100 per cent of their electricity needs from renewable energy too. Today RE 100, a global collaborative introduced at COP21 has 144 companies and this does not account for the many who have not signed up but have taken active measure to clean up their supply chain. Large corporations like IKEA, Apple, Facebook and Coca Cola are some of the big international names. Indian signees include Dalmia, Hatsun Agro Industries, Infosys and Tata Motors among others.
At the 2nd Global RE-INVEST held in October first week, discussions on Corporate Power Purchase Agreements garnered a lot of attention and rightly so. At the end of 2017, India had a cumulative 1.8 GW of corporate RE PPAs (WBCSD). Globally, 2017 was a record-breaking year for corporate RE PPAs; across 10 countries, 43 companies signed PPAs worth over 5.4 GW.
Corporate PPAs for renewable energy projects, is a relatively novel idea, where businesses can source their energy demand directly from renewable energy, through independent power producers (IPPs). It is most attractive for large industries. In India cement, steel and paper, who gain long term visibility on their revenue. Corporate PPAs, like utility PPAs are long term agreements that detail rates and conditions for sale and purchase of electricity. Additionally, the added benefit from a direct PPA reduces the risk for both the energy generator and the buyer.
India's parity market and unreliable grid electricity should be reason enough for large C&I consumers to turn to renewable energy. At the session on Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers', K S Venkatagiri kick started the conversation by stating that "long-term corporate PPAs in India today present an economically sustainable business proposition".
On the slow movement in India, the overall consensus at the panel discussion was that policy flip flops were the primary hindrance. Although they all believed that India's current PPA model (especially under the auction regime) is sound; views on the optimum duration of the PPA varied. For instance, project developers prefer longer PPAs, corporate buyers prefer shorter PPAs with long term set tariff whereas the lenders are undecided.
Charles Donovan from the Imperial College, London, UK cautioned that as the renewable energy tariffs continue to fall, small and large businesses will migrate from utilities to third party suppliers, to procure cheaper power. This led to what was called the "utility death spiral' in Germany, in 2013-2014. The case could be much worse for India – with the transmission and distribution networks already running in losses. States with open access facilities or heavy cross-subsidisations would suffer the worst.
The government needs to facilitate and standardise the corporate buyout of renewable energy projects while simultaneously ensuring security and stability of the electricity grid. Bruce Douglas, Solar Power Europe Corporate said that there were 14 different corporate PPA models available worldwide. The government of India should facilitate all of them, so corporate buyers can adopt models based on their specific electricity demands, thereby facilitating competition within the industry. To extend the pool to small and medium industry consumers, several panelists suggested aggregation of demand.
He further emphasised on the need for 'origin of energy generation' guarantees. This could be tricky, especially since the synonymous renewable energy certificates (REC) mechanism in the country has failed to take off.
In India, integration to the grid presents a few challenges that the government is struggling to address, such as financially struggling DISCOMs, weak transmission infrastructure and RE integration challenges.
On the other hand, generation at point of consumption would bypass the grid; efficient technology and smart metering would further help optimise consumption, and benefit the corporate buyers. The additional cost of storage would be minimal for such large consumers and recent policy on hybrid projects refer to third party purchase.

I worked with Scott Farrell for over five years and grew tremendously over that time. Not only did he help grow my vocal control and performance ability but also helped coach my attitude and presence in preparation for those situations. The process helped transform my voice into a part of my personality rather than a tool I simply use to communicate. After my time with Scott I'm a more confident individual when addressing large groups of people, which I do on a daily basis. With how much use my voice gets we also spent time on recovery plans and tactics for the work week that helped me create a routine to keep my voice healthy and alive.
My vocal lessons with Scott were as therapeutic as they were skill building. While I went to him to prepare for musical auditions and shows, I learned from Scott about breath and poise—and learned to address the insecurities which had rooted themselves in my muscles. Suddenly this work became far more important to me than mere audition preparation. Scott's infinite gentleness and encouragement helped me find confidence and calm in all parts of my life.
I started voice lessons with the intention of learning to sing, that was slightly over 10 years ago. What I didn't anticipate was through learning to sing I would discover so much about myself. Recently I have used EFT techniques to help in my professional endeavors to assist in preparing for presentations to clients. Scott has always provided a safe environment for self expression and is gifted at bringing out the best in his students. I've studied music for over 45 years and until working with Scott I had never had the confidence to let go and truly express myself.

When using chemical methods of water sterilization, make sure to use the correct amount that the packaging indicates. If you add too much, the chemicals could make you sick by themselves; too little, and the water won't be properly sterilized.
Pros and Cons of Chemical Water Treatment for Hikers
There is very little that can go wrong when using water purification tabs themselves as they are pre-measured.
However, when using any drops or liquids that you mix yourself, it is important to use the appropriate measurements. As mentioned above, with chemical tinctures, an incorrect dosage could cause health problems (although you typically have to be way off of the recommended dose to cause any serious harm).
Besides that risk, these tablets are a fool proof way to purify your water. They easily fit anywhere and require no additional work. Refer to the packaging to see how many tabs per gallon or liter of water, as it varies from brand to brand.
Iodine: The Old Standby for Water Purification
We can't move past chemical treatment without mentioning iodine. For many decades, the chemical Iodine was the standard method of water sterilization. Even today, when we have plenty other options for chemical treatment, iodine still remains a very solid emergency backup.
No matter what method you usually carry, you should keep a small bottle of iodine in your hiking gear, always.
It's a perfect, no-nonsense safety backup for several reasons:
- It's very lightweight and efficient—you don't need much to sterilize gallons of water
- It stays potent practically forever. Iodine isn't a chemical compound, but actually a base, pure element itself. It won't degrade or spoil when sealed up in a bottle.
- It's very cheap, so grabbing several small bottles to keep in every single hiker's pack in your group won't cost much.
Having an un-spoilable, potent, lightweight water purification backup is essential for good safety and survival practices. So why doesn't everyone just use it? Well, you have to know how to use it to avoid being sick, so it isn't the safest option, and it takes quite a while to purify. It also adds a very distinct taste to the water—not great in normal conditions, but when you're in an emergency you won't care at all.
When using iodine, a two percent tincture is usually preferred, two drops should be enough to purify a quart of water. For more severe cases, such as muddy or murky water, add ten drops, stir, and let sit for thirty minutes before drinking.
Water Filtration Using Actual Filters
With the advancement of technology, microfilters have taken the first position when it comes to water purification on hikes. The versatility of this purification technique has allowed it to surpass all of its competitors. Here are a few of the options available to choose from:
- "Sip and Squeeze" Water Filters- the filters purify the water as it passed through a tube to your mouth, purifying the water sip by sip. These can easily fit into your backpack and can be refilled at any time.
- Pump Water Filters- Work similarly to that of the sip filters, but is equipped with a pumping mechanism. These are not only more expensive but require some maintenance, this is an option for frequent hikers, not a one-time activity.
- Gravity Water Filters- These filters are perfect for large groups as it can filter large quantities of water at once. All you have to do is hang it from a tree branch and let gravity do the work, literally.
Water filtration and water purification used to be two different things—but modern water filters actually have small enough pores that they can filter out bacteria, microorganisms, and other contaminants—so no additional purification is necessary.
Ultraviolet Light Water Purification
Probably the most interesting one as of yet, modern portable ultraviolet sterilizers have become popular in recent years.
The ultraviolet light is used to neutralize viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, leaving behind purified water. This is only a purifier, so if the water is murky and dirty, it is important to use a prefilter. A good prefilter to use in this instance would be the gravity water filter. Once the water has been filtered, place the ultraviolet purifier in the water and stir for 90 seconds, and done.
Remember to bring a prefilter (if the water is muddy) as well as back up batteries when using this option. It's a great convenient option, but don't rely on it in emergencies—you don't want your safety to rely on battery power.
Boiling Water to Purify It
Boiling water is probably the oldest and most commonly known method for water purification, and it's very easy to do. You can use a camping kettle as a boiler, however, it's not the fastest or most convenient method.
To sterilize water, just bring the water to a roiling boil for a minimum of:
- One minute at lower altitudes (below 2000 meters or 6500 feet)
- Three minutes for places above 2000 meters (6500 feet)
The high temperature kills the majority of the microbes, protozoa, bacteria, and even viruses leaving you with safe-to-drink water.
This technique of sterilizing water is likely the first one humans ever discovered, but in modern times people have been able to make this process easier for hikers and campers with the invention of camping stoves. These stoves are fast-burning, fuel-efficient, and can fit in your backpack.
The downside? It's not fast, by any means. Realistically this method can only be used at the campsite, but if you're willing to break out your camping stove during a rest break then it can be a good backup or emergency method.
Some other tips for boiling water to treat it:
- Be careful not to put the hot water back into any container not designed to handle the heat. It could melt, warp, or release toxins into the water.
- Always over-boil. Let the water boil for another minute or two past the minimum recommended time, just to be extra sure.
Do You Always Have to Filter Water on a Hike?
Yes, it is essential to filter water whether it is on a hike or camping to avoid getting sick. Drinking unfiltered water can lead to illness and sometimes even death.
In extremely rare cases, such as drinking directly from the source of a natural spring, drinking the unfiltered water can be relatively safe. However, it's never totally safe, and it's always best to filter the water anyway.
Dangers of Drinking Unfiltered Water
When water is unfiltered, it contains living bacteria, protozoa along with viruses that can have fatal consequences. When drinking unfiltered water, you risk contracting cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, or even polio.
In fact, contaminated drinking water is the cause of nearly 485,000 diarrhea-related deaths every year. This can easily be avoided by using one of the above methods to treat water and keep you and your loved ones safe.
In Conclusion
Water filtration and purification technologies have greatly evolved over the years. Now, you can have drinking water anywhere, anytime. There are several different options to choose from. Some are more costly than others but highly practical.
Based on group size and desired purification levels, you can choose which water filtration method works best for you.

Jacquard N°78
2nd issue of the year 2016, July - December
>> Single articles to purchase
The new issue of Jacquard starts with an anthropological and ethnographic exploration of the research activities that guide and generate the reconstruction of ancient textile practices. It offers a new perspective on textile studies at the intersection of technical anthropology, scientific studies, history, sociology and the anthropology of knowledge.
Interdisciplinarity features again in the essay by a weaver-scholar who entertains us with a brilliant excursus of erudite insights and intriguing reflections on striped fabric and much more. Studded with apposite citations, it offers an expansive reading that broadens the horizons of the textile world.
This is followed by the study of a clothed mannequin of Our Lady of Dolours in the Cathedral of Trento which introduces us to the work of a Milanese embroiderer called Rinaldo Martini, who was active with his workshop in the second half of the nineteenth century.
The next two articles take us to China: the first explores the fascinating Chengdu Shu Brocade and Embroidery Museum in Sichuan province, while the second illustrates in detail a lady's court robe with lavish embroidered decoration.
Then there are two pieces dealing with the Banners of the Piedmont Friendly Societies. One addresses the features and significance of these flags, while the other describes the restoration of several of them. There is also a restoration report on another banner: that of the Musical Band of Quiesa.
The issue ends with the tales of two artists, Gabriella Bottaru and Luigi Golin, who present their textile works in a dazzling array of colours, emotions and the experimentation of mixed techniques.

I picked two short stories that I would like to compare and contrast in this essay.
Thefirst story is called "The Yellow Wall- Paper" and was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Thesecond story I chose is called"A Rose for Emily" and was written by William Faulkner. Both ofthese stories are about women who have serious mental problems. These stories are similar inthat aspect, but there are also some differences. In this essay, I will compare and contrast thesetwo short stories and determine which one best illustrates insanity. The first thing that I noticed about these stories was that they were purely fictional. Ialso noticed that they both had a weird twist.
- Thesis Statement
- Structure and Outline
- Voice and Grammar
- Conclusion
"A Rose for Emily" is about a woman who killsher lover and hides him in her home: The man himself lay in the bed. For a long while we just stood there, looking down at the profound and fleshless grin. The body had apparently once lain in the attitude of an embrace, but now the long sleep that outlast love, that conquers even the grimace of love, had cuckolded him.In"The Yellow Wall-Paper" the woman starts out normal and gradually sinks into depression.Her depression gets so bad that she begins to see objects in her wall paper: We have been here two weeks, and I haven't felt like writing before, since that first day. I am sitting by the window now, up in this atrocious nursery, and there is nothing to hinder my writing as much as I please, save lack of strength.
I don't feel as if it was worth while to turn my hand over for anything, and I'm getting dreadfully fretful and querulous. I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time. Of course I don't when John is here, or anybody else, but when I am alone. At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern, I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be. I didn't realize for a long time what the thing was that showed behind, that dim sub-pattern, but now I am quite sure it is a woman.
The weird twist in these stories not only captures your attention, but also makes the storiesmemorable. Although both stories are fictional, Charlotte Perkins Gilman did battle with depressionin her own life on more than one occasion. Ms. Gilman was treated for depression with what iscalled the "rest cure." This basically meant that you lived as much of a domestic and stress freelife as possible. You were limited to two hours of intellectual stimulation per day. She was toldby her doctors that she would never be allowed to write again. She listened to the doctors advicefor three months, but during that time she became worse.
She said, " I came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over." She knew what would really help her and it wasnot what the doctor advised. Gilman obtained her normal life again and eventually got well.
Inher story"The Yellow Wall-Paper"her character is also a writer and treated with the " restcure." Gilman wrote the story as a celebration of her own recovery and in many ways the storyreflected her own experiences. The Author of"A Rose for Emily" had no personal experiencewith.

As we brought our BCK team back to Jovial for a similar experience, I find with the passing of time and being more comfortable with the daily lives of the Kenyans, places such as this don't have the same shocking impact as they once did. Now I only look for opportunities to assist, ways to change the lives of these precious children for the better.
As the group is getting to know the children as they perform for us visitors ( it's the way of showing appreciation for us coming to their school), I separate from the group a little and surround myself with some students, trying to get to know them individually.
Taking pictures is such an easy way to connect, and the simple joy it brings to them is indescribable. BCK leaves some educational supplies with the school, then as the kids break for recess, we see the school and its current issues as George explains what is needed for this school to survive. The termites will have devoured the floor by next year, and a concrete slab will be the only substitute.
George needs a new school built for Jovial. Although BCK is not in the school building business, we hope to spread the word to other non-profits so that George and Jovial can get the help they need.

Singapore has been trying for years to bolster its low birthrate by offering new parents a "baby bonus" of more than $6,000 for each child. Now the country of 5.7 million people says it plans to further sweeten the incentive with a one-time payment to help couples "have more babies" during the pandemic.
"We have received feedback that Covid-19 has caused some aspiring parents to postpone their parenthood plans," Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said in a statement on Monday. "This is fully understandable, especially when they face uncertainty with their income."
The amount of the newly introduced payment had not been announced as of Tuesday evening.
Singapore had initial success against the coronavirus, but its caseload soared in April, fueled by an outbreak among migrant workers. It has reported 27 deaths and at least 57,000 infections since the start of the pandemic, including 104 new cases over the past week.
Singapore's economy posted its worst-ever performance in the second quarter and is expected to contract by 6 percent this year.
Over the years, Singapore's government has organized speed dating and other matchmaking services in a mostly futile attempt to encourage procreation. It also provides dollar-for-dollar matching services for savings accounts that are set up for newborns.
But the city-state's fertility rate has continued to fall anyway over the past four decades — from 1.82 to 1.14 births per woman. That does not include modest fertility spikes that coincide with the lunar Year of the Dragon, which comes every 12 years and is widely thought to be auspicious.
Singapore's birthrate of 8.6 per 1,000 people ranked 214th in the world in 2017. Of the 12 countries that scored lower, three were in Asia: Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Monaco scored last.

RIME: Greybox lowers price of digital version, adds OST code at retail
A few weeks ago, Greybox revealed the price for RIME, which is going to be more expensive on Nintendo Switch. This is due to the cost of game cartridge, which is higher than for discs, but also additional development. The problem us, the publisher chose to go with price parity between retail / digital, much to the displeasure of players planning to get the digital version.
But today, Greybox announced that the digital version will now cost $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99, which is the same price as on other platforms.
As for the physical version, it's unfortunately impossible for them to lower the price while avoind selling at a loss. Therefore, they decided to instead add more value to the package. If you buy the retail version of RIME on Nintendo Switch, you will also get a download code for the full soundtrack (composed by David García).
The code will be redeemable on Bandcamp, where you will be able to choose between multiple high-quality formats. The soundtrack will be sold separately for $10, which means that you will pay the same as someone buying the game on another platform and then deciding to buy the soundtrack separately.
For those who are curious, here's a sample form the RIME soundtrack ("Alone in the Light"):
RIME (Switch) will be released later this year in Europe and North America.

Dutch photographer and digital artist Bas Uterwijk has been shining a light on what iconic figures from history might have looked like in real life. His latest creation is Alexander the Great, the king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon, who famously conquered most of the known world of his time.
View this post on Instagram
"I am not afraid of an army of Lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion" Alexander the Great (356BC) #artbreeder #stylegan2 #artificialintelligence #neuralnetworks #neuarlart #neuralartwork #cgi #machinelearning #alexanderthegreat #macedonia #history
By using various digital manipulation tools, Uterwijk is able to create photorealistic portraits of famous artists, leaders, mummies, philosophical thinkers, and even the models for paintings. Below is his reconstruction of the face of Jesus.
View this post on Instagram
I don't think I have posted this version on Instagram so for everyone interested here is a little info on the process of constructing it: I have been a professional photographer for the last 14 years but I have a background in Computer Generated images and Special Effects. A little over a year ago I stumbled upon the #artificialintelligence #Artbreeder software (formerly Ganbreeder) which utilizes a neural network trained on photographs and paintings of thousands human faces. This application makes it possible to combine multiple sources of faces and merge them in a synthesized version, guided by the artistic decisions of the user. I use it to create historical and fictional characters. When I was playing around with several cultural depictions of Jesus of Nazareth of Byzantine and Renaissance origin including Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi", and the Turin Shroud. Tweaking the ethnicity to a more convincing Middle-Eastern face. I was happy with the result as a representation of a collective cultural depiction but at the same time I felt it lacked any historical accuracy. So I changed the hair and beard to a more credible length and style for the time and region and I brought in elements found in some #Fayum mummy portraits, pushing the renaissance art to the background. The result is a artistic impression of how this man could have looked, more than it is a scientific search for an exact likeness.
Based in Amsterdam, Uterwijk has a background in computer graphics, 3D animation, and special effects. He uses a well-known image of each subject to transform them into a photographic portrait.
Alexander the Great's life
Alexander III, the "Basileus of Macedon," the "Hegemon of the Hellenic League," the "Shahanshah" of Persia, the "Pharaoh" of Egypt, and the "Lord of Asia"—better known as Alexander the Great—was one of the most significant figures in human history.
Born in Pella in modern-day Central Macedonia in northern Greece in 356 B.C., he was the son of Philip II, the King of Macedon and his wife, Olympias. However, Alexander was no royal place-holder. He became renowned at a very early age for both for his military and political capabilities.
Alexander, whose name in Greek (Alexandros) means "defender of men," knew as the son of a king that his destiny was already written, putting him at the forefront of history.
This was why while he was still a teenager, he began to be tutored by one of Greece's most respected men, the giant of philosophy and science, Aristotle.
Since his education included philosophy, politics, ethics and science, Alexander was clearly not brought up to become just a warrior but a thoughtful leader of men and society.
Fate dictated that following his father's assassination when Alexander was only twenty, he would take into his command not only the Kingdom of Macedon but also the generalship of the Hellenic League of Greece.
Several years prior to that, his father Philip II of Macedon had managed to unite most of Greece's city-states, urging them to address the Persian threat as a united and solid front. Alexander fearlessly took on this enormous responsibility after the death of his father and began the great march of the Hellenes to the East.
By his own admission, Alexander endeavored to conquer all the way to the "ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea." He and his legions invaded India in the year 326 BC, winning an important victory over the Pauravas at the Battle of the Hydaspes.
However, after years of never-ending war across the Near East, the mighty general finally turned back toward home at the demand of his homesick troops.
Alexander the Great died in Babylon in 323 BC, the city which he planned to establish as his capital, before he could execute a series of planned campaigns which would have begun with an invasion of Arabia.

CHICAGO—According to a new report released Friday, this article, the one you are currently reading, has successfully padded out The Onion's daily content quota and is expected to help generate the minimum level of web traffic necessary to keep the publication financially viable. "All indicators suggest this article will fulfill its purpose as a piece of filler content written with the express purpose of meeting the day's minimum publishing requirements," the report read in part, adding that the article is completely devoid of editorial value, contributes nothing to the public discourse, and serves no purpose beyond increasing ad impressions on the website. "While this won't be The Onion's highest-performing article of the day, it should nonetheless boost the click-through rate and, by doing so, keep the lights on a bit longer. Media-focused articles such as this have a niche audience, but with the addition of SEO keywords like "late capitalism," "Harry and Meghan," and "TikTok challenge," it should deliver numbers just high enough to justify its existence." The report concluded by noting that the bottom of the barrel has now been scraped, there are no stories prepared for tomorrow, and it might be best to start the morning off with a slideshow of past favorites.

Welcome new participants to our COASSTLite! home page. Here you will find the links and resources you need to get started with our program. Please reach out to us right away if you have any difficulties, or would like to sign up for a future training.
Contact Us
For the first two decades, COASST surveyors were trained in only one way: at an in-person, hands-on event, hosted at a local community center or event space. In 2020 we decided to use our time in lockdown to develop a virtual training system. COASSTLite! – a virtual training for our beached bird surveyor program – was born.
Today there are two COASSTLite! virtual trainings to attend before you will be a 'fully fledged' COASST surveyor on your own stretch of coastline:
- Level 1 (~3 hours) invites new participants to learn how to survey a beach and document beached birds in a standardized way. Level 1 trainees will survey their own beach monthly, but will rely on the COASST office team to identify beached birds and enter data online.
- Level 2 (~2 hours) trains established participants (those who have completed at least TWO monthly Level 1 surveys) in the techniques of measuring and identifying a bird while on survey. This training can take place at one of our monthly virtual events, or 'on-the-fly' at an in-person training/refresher (either with COASST staff or a current COASST participant.)
The sections below detail how you can participate in our virtual training program, so you can get started on your own beach as soon as possible!
Level 1: surveying for beached birds
Visit our Trainings and Events page to find a training date that works for you! Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to RSVP and receive a link to the webinar.
What do I need for the training?
Nothing you can't get in your own home:
✓ A computer or mobile device with a strong internet connection to stream a Zoom Webinar, with audio and/or video streaming capabilities
✓ A printed copy of the COASST data sheets
✓ A plush animal or well-loved dog toy… you'll find out why!
✓ Paper and Pencil
✓ Camera (your phone would work best!)
✓ Calculator or phone
✓ Measuring tape or a 5 meter long SOMETHING
What happens after the training?
You aren't signed up yet! AFTER you attend the online training you'll indicate to us that you would like to join our team by:
✓ Signing up for a slot during our Office Hours to select a beach from our map, or create a new beach of your own!
✓ Filling out a Profile Form to let us know who you are, and how to reach you.
✓ Filling out a COASST Contract to let us know that you intend to survey a beach monthly for our program.
Once we have all of your information we will send you survey supplies so that you can get started with surveys at your very own beach!
✓ You'll send in your first survey (via snail mail or email) to us ideally within 2 months of your training, to make sure everything is still fresh in your mind
✓ You'll send us a completed Paces Per Meter form with your first survey. (Or complete the calculation and just send us the number in an email!)
Level 2: measuring and identifying beached birds
This level of training is 'invite only', so you won't see our monthly events listed on our Training and Events calendar. Once you've completed your first two beach surveys after your Level 1 training, you'll receive an invitation to our next Level 2/3 training date!
What do I need for this training?
A few things that you have on hand already:
✓ A Zoom connection
✓ Paper and pencil
And a few items that we will mail to you prior to the training, including:
✓ COASST Bird Guide
✓ Dividers and ruler
✓ COASST Measuring Tape
What about after the training?
Congratulations! You're ready to use the resources in the Beached Bird Toolbox page of our website. Happy COASSTing!

A classic glasswork technique from the 1940s is reimagined in the Karmarie Collection.

Combined with modern styling, the look works beautifully in modern farmhouse or Victorian settings. Karmarie is finished in Olde Bronze and Polished Nickel.
