The Centre for Applied Genomics is a genome centre in the Research Institute of The Hospital for Sick Children, and is affiliated with the University of Toronto. TCAG also operates as a Science and Technology Innovation Centre of Genome Canada,[1] with an emphasis on next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics support. Research at TCAG focuses on the genetic and genomic basis of human variability, health and disease, including research on the genetics of autism spectrum disorder and structural variation of the human genome. The Centre is located in the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning in downtown Toronto, Canada.

The need for a centralized core facility for human genome research at SickKids Hospital prompted the establishment of The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) in 1998. The Founding Director and Associate Director were Drs. Lap-Chee Tsui and Stephen W. Scherer, respectively. Dr. Scherer is now the Scientific Director.
Funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) enabled TCAG to form by consolidating existing core facilities including the Medical Research Council of Canada Genome Resource Facility, the Canadian Genetic Diseases Network (CGDN) large insert clone core, the CGDN DNA Sequencing Core and the SickKids Biotechnology Service DNA Sequencing and Synthesis labs. A genome-wide microsatellite genotyping laboratory at the Ottawa Health Research Institute led by Dr. Dennis Bulman was added. Subsequently, operational funding from the CIHR Genomics Special Projects panel provided for additional staff.
In 2001, a proposal entitled "Genome Resource Core Platform" was submitted to the then newly formed Genome Canada. This provided operational support, enhancing existing facilities and adding a mouse genotyping core at the University of Toronto led by Dr. Lucy Osborne. In 2002, SickKids built a new Affymetrix microarray facility. This core has quickly grown to become the largest such service centre in Canada and is in the top ten in North America.[2]
In 2004, TCAG entered a second phase of development driven by a $12 million CFI/Ontario Innovation Trust funded project entitled "Integrative Genomics for Health Research",[3] allowing for consolidation of the mouse genotyping core with the SickKids facilities. This award also supported the establishment of an "Ontario Population Genomics Repository" (OPGP) to be used as controls in studies of common diseases. To efficiently complete this project, TCAG partnered with Dr. John McLaughlin's group at Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto).
In May, 2004, an application to the newly announced CFI Research Hospital Fund resulted in a $10.9 million award to build out lab space and consolidate all operations on the 14th and 15th floors of the Toronto Medical Discovery Tower (TMDT) in the MaRS Discovery District. TCAG was the first occupant of TMDT (in August, 2005), quickly followed by other SickKids scientists. Investments in computer infrastructure from the 2003 CFI/Ontario Innovation Trust competition resulted in the establishment of new phases of the high-performance computing cluster (HPF) that is currently used by TCAG and many other users, to allow analysis of large genomic datasets arising from new microarray and sequencing technologies. Further enhancements to the TCAG infrastructure were supported by a $10.7 million renewal grant from CFI's Leading Edge Fund competition, entitled "Integrative Genomics for Health Research – Phase II", awarded in June 2009.[4] More recently, a CFI grant entitled "The Centre for Applied Genomics: Paediatric Genomes to Outcomes" provided further infrastructure support.[5] In October 2013, TCAG moved to the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning, a new building housing the SickKids Research Institute.[6]
TCAG operates in large part on Science and Technology Innovation Centre (STIC) funds from Genome Canada, administered by the Ontario Genomics Institute.
Current research at TCAG centres around large-scale projects performed by facility personnel, including support of Genome Canada projects, and a significant focus on the genetics of autism spectrum disorders and structural variation of the human genome. Service work is also performed for over 600 other academic, private sector and government labs each year, drawn from 30 different countries and spanning a wide variety of research disciplines.[7]
Past research at TCAG is reflected by numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications. In 2008, TCAG Scientific Directors, Associate Scientists and staff co-authored 58 peer-reviewed manuscripts dependent in some way (either entirely, or in part) on the platform infrastructure, as documented in PubMed.[8] Since 2002, over 270 such papers have been published.[9] Support of other researchers worldwide is found in many similar publications, with at least 145 papers in scholarly journals, book chapters, or graduate thesis dissertations acknowledging support or use of database resources during 2008 alone.[10]
Historical papers include:
- Discovery of genes involved in predisposition to medulloblastoma (Michael Taylor and James Rutka with TCAG support)[11]
- Gene identification in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (with Johanna Rommens and others)[12]
- Gene identification in Lafora Epilepsy (with Berge Minassian)[13] and its canine counterpart[14]
- A disease-relevant MECP2 isoform involved in Rett syndrome[15]
- Involvement of the SUMO4 gene in type I diabetes[16]
- Severe expressive-language delay related to duplication of the Williams–Beuren locus[17]
TCAG was also integral to publications describing the decoding of human chromosome 7,[18] the discovery of large-scale copy number variation in the human genome,[19][20] and the analysis of the first diploid human genome sequence (with the J. Craig Venter Institute).[21]
Genome Canada Projects[edit]
As a Science and Technology Innovation Centre of Genome Canada, TCAG currently supports numerous large-scale projects, including research on autism spectrum disorders, structural variation of the human genome, integrative biology, conditional mouse mutagenesis, interactions of signaling molecules, type I diabetes, cancer stem cells, Cystic Fibrosis, biodiversity, structural biology, and stem cells, from Genome Canada's Competition III, New Technology Development and Applied Genomics Research in Bioproducts or Crops (ABC) competitions.[22][23][24] The Centre is now working with applicants in the Large-Scale Applied Research Project[25] and Advancing Technology Innovation Through Discovery[26] competitions.
TCAG also hosts and curates websites and databases developed from supported projects, namely The Chromosome 7 Database, The Database of Genomic Variants,[27] the Segmental Duplication Database, the Autism Chromosome Rearrangement Database, and others.[28] These databases contain publicly available information.
Core Facilities[edit]
TCAG employs a variety of genomic technologies to support different types of experimentation. These are organized into separate Core Facilities, with dedicated managers.
Informatics and Biostatistics[edit]
The Bioinformatics team assists with data handling and analysis, and develops new algorithms and analytical methods, with a focus on the analysis of high-throughput ("next-generation") sequencing data. The Statistical Analysis group provides project consultation and power analysis, statistical analysis (genetic, microarray, and pathway data, epidemiology, population genetics), and copy number variation analysis, as well as developing new statistical methods.
DNA Sequencing and Synthesis[edit]
The facility uses conventional capillary Sanger sequencing on Applied Biosystems 3730xl instruments, governed by a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Additionally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) using Illumina HiSeq 2500 and HiScan SQ instruments, Life Technologies Ion Proton and Applied Biosystems SOLiD instruments, and a 454/Roche GS-FLX Titanium instrument is performed. A key component of this facility is the use of high-performance computing and bioinformatics support for NGS analysis.
The Oligonucleotide Synthesis component of this facility makes conventional, long (up to 120 bases) and modified oligonucleotides, and purifies these by desalting, cartridge or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Microarray and Genetic Analysis[edit]
The Microarray and Gene Expression Core Facility has a dedicated manager, and operates technologies from Affymetrix, Agilent and Illumina. Additionally, there is a wide variety of analytical software packages available for on-site data analysis.
Cytogenomics and Genome Resources[edit]
The Cytogenomics and Genome Resources Core Facility has a single manager between these two functions. Cytogenomics includes karyotyping and spectral (SKY) karyotyping (for mouse, human, and other species), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping, transgenic insertion site mapping (G-to-FISH mapping) and clone labeling for FISH experiments. The Genome Resources components includes a clone repository (Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) cDNA (mouse and human), genomic clones including human bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs)) and provides project consultation and design assistance (annotation, database queries, probe selection). It also provides cDNA library screening and quantitative PCR.
Genetic Analysis[edit]
The Genetic Analysis area includes capillary-based genotyping (Applied Biosystems TaqMan and SNaPshot, microsatellites), custom genotyping (e.g. heteroduplex analysis), mouse genotyping (for cross progeny and genetic linkage analysis), and methylation analysis (for epigenetics research).
The Biobanking Core Facility has its own dedicated manager. It performs white cell immortalization (from blood) and banking, fibroblast culture and banking, culture and banking of other cell types including non-human cells, genomic DNA preparation from blood, saliva, tissues or cells, and whole-genome amplification (WGA).
Funding sources[edit]
TCAG is funded by several agencies, including the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Genome Canada through the Ontario Genomics Institute, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation. Additionally, philanthropic donations are administered by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation, and specific research projects are funded by a wide variety of agencies and charitable foundations.
Organization and management[edit]
Scientific Director[edit]
The Scientific Director of TCAG is Dr. Stephen W. Scherer, Senior Staff Scientist in The Hospital for Sick Children's Research Institute, Director of the McLaughlin Centre,[29] and a professor at the University of Toronto.[30]

This is the motto for my Dad and family for this year - 2008 About Spiritual And Physical Health - it's a pretty catchy and clever name that my Dad came up with too!!
Anyway - we had our second major Christmas celebration over this past weekend, and while we were eating our big meal - we went around and told everyone our main resolutions for the New Year. Most of them (actually all of them) focused around spiritual and physical health... so we decided to make it a theme for the year.
As I already posted - John's family is working on a bet to see who can lose the most weight - and mine is working on a similar goal, but several members of my family don't need to lose any weight - they just need to get a little healthier.
My sister, Cindy, who is our resident nutrition specialist... found a book called You: Staying Young: The Owners Manual for Extending Your Warranty by Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz (the doctor from Oprah).
We're all buying it to read (Cindy has already started) and in the book they talk about your real age versus your calendar age. This basically is the idea that your body can be at a very different place in your life than your calendar age would suggest.
They have a test on RealAge.com - and mine for instance shows that my calendar age is 29.6, but my real age is 31.7... based on the answers that I gave in the questionnaire, it sent me a 90 day plan that lays out specific ways that I can lower my real age.
I highly recommend everyone taking the test - it can be a great way to change your New Year's resolution into something real... the test is very comprehensive - it covers everything from your nutrition, workouts, spirituality, and even your friends and driving habits. It's a very interesting look at your health and your lifestyle... we can all do this together and make a huge difference in our lives and our health.

Higher education resources
Here are some new resources and news for the field of higher education.
Study: Students Leaving Illinois to Pursue Out of State Education A report by the Illinois Board of Higher Education shows that more and more students in Illinois are choosing to leave the state to get their college degrees elsewhere. (WGEM)
The New, Improved IPEDS The Education Department's National Center for Education Statistics unwraps a revision of the IPEDS database that will expand the government's tools for measuring postsecondary outcomes, especially for the students who, for lack of a better term, are frequently called "nontraditional" (even though they now outnumber the "traditional" 18- to 22-year-olds). (Inside Higher Ed)
October is College Changes Everything Month Since the FAFSA will be available at the same time students will be completing their college applications, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is launching College Changes Everything® (CCE) Month—essentially combining the activities of College Application Month and Financial Aid Awareness Month. During CCE Month, ISAC will offer support for both college application activities and FAFSA completion. (Illinois Student Assistance Commission)
More Scrutiny for Community Colleges Community college systems are finding they're under more scrutiny than ever before, especially when it comes to whether their students complete programs and graduate. (Inside Higher Ed)
State-Funded Student Aid Holds Steady The split between need-based and non-need-based grants remained the same year over year in 2015-16. (Inside Higher Ed)
Policymakers, Education Organizations Increase Focus on STEM Graduates in the Workforce Both policymakers and educational organizations are increasingly investing resources in building out the STEM graduate to industry pathway. (Education Dive)
The Promise (and Perils) of Student Placement Reform: A toolkit for the use of multiple measures This Ed Note blog post comes from Mark Duffy, senior research associate, and Kate Shaw, executive director, both at Research for Action, and provides an overview of reforms and a toolkit designed to assist students with post-secondary success and college readiness.
The Decline of the Midwest's Public Universities Threatens to Wreck Its Economies Many flagship Midwestern research universities are being weakened by deep state budget cuts. Threats to pensions and tenure portend an exodus of faculty and their all-important research funding, and have already resulted in a frenzy of poaching by better-funded and higher-paying private institutions, industry, and international competitors. What are the impacts of these changes on the economy? (The Atlantic)
Curriculum for Work-Force Development The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation released a new curriculum it hopes employers, government and higher education can use to better collaborate on closing the skills gap. (Inside Higher Ed)
'Blueprint' for Federal Student-Level Data System The Institute for Higher Education Policy issued a set of recommendations on the nuts and bolts of creating a federal postsecondary student-level data system. (Inside Higher Ed)
'Targeted and Tailored' Strategies Needed to Close Achievement Gaps The all-too-familiar narrative of racial and ethnic gaps in educational attainment will persist well into the 21st century unless "targeted and tailored" strategies are implemented for various underrepresented groups. That is the message of a forthcoming Educational Testing Service (ETS) report titled "Challenges and Opportunities in Achieving the National Postsecondary Degree Attainment Goals." (Diverse Issues in Higher Education)
Seeking Support: State financial aid programs and adult students This policy analysis discusses the unique challenges of adult students and related considerations when crafting adult-inclusive aid policies.
Expectations, Race and College Success Study suggests high school teachers' attitudes are not colorblind and influence who succeeds in higher education. (Inside Higher Ed)
50-State Comparison: Adult Inclusion in State Financial Aid Policies Most state financial aid programs don't account for the unique circumstances of adult learners, who comprise two in five college students, and could be inadvertently shutting these students out of postsecondary opportunities. This resource shows the two largest state financial aid programs for every state and breaks down the eligibility requirements and qualifications necessary to receive aid.
Attainment Goals and Plans By 2020, 65 percent of job vacancies are projected to require education beyond high school, reinforcing the need to increase the number of Americans with college credentials. This policy snapshot provides summary information for 2017 legislation related to attainment goals and plans, as well as policy actions from previous years.
Education Pays 2016: The Benefits of Higher Education for Individuals and Society Education Pays is a companion piece to the annual Trends in College Pricing and Trends in Student Aid that documents the ways in which both individuals and society benefit from increased levels of education. The report examines differences in the earnings and employment patterns of U.S. adults with different levels of education, compares health-related behaviors, reliance on public assistance programs, civic participation and indicators of the well-being of the next generation. Additionally, the report examines the increases and persistent disparities across demographic groups in college participation and completion.
College Promise Programs Continue to Grow The College Promise movement — which focuses on providing a free community college education to qualifying students — continues to gain traction, according to an annual update from the two-year-old College Promise Campaign. Over the past year, more than 50 new College Promise programs were announced or created in small communities, large cities and states, according to the report. (Community College Daily)

The campaign to save the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH) was formed in 2016 to prevent the agreement ending in June 2017. The NPAH delivered $115 million annually of federal investment in critical homelessness and family violence services.
The campaign was led by Homelessness Australia and National Shelter and aimed to create a supporter coalition who would lobby politicians, talk in the media and take online action.
The campaign gained over 250 supporter organisations, supporting them with local media and lobbying. It ran a successful open letter to the Prime Minister and ran a number of successful online actions aimed at the Minister and Prime Minister.
Media was also a large part of this campaign, as was engaging thousands of ordinary Australians in conversations about homelessness services and directing them to their political representatives.
We reached over 200,000 people on Facebook and over 100,000 on Twitter in just three months.
The campaign was a success, with a one-year extension to the NPAH, announced in December 2016.

Don't give up the day job
How to unshare a Dropbox file.
I needed to transfer a large file to a graphic designer which was too big to email so I used the Share feature within Dropbox to temporarily share the file. There are plenty of note write ups on how to do this, but what caught me out was how to unshare the dropbox file once the graphic designer confirmed she had the file. I did nt want the file shared for ever more so for security reasons I wanted to unshare it.
It took a while to find the answer so decided to write it up here:
- On your computer find the file and right click on it.
- Select View on Dropbox.com
- When Dropbox web page opens, in the left hand menu click on Links
- This will show which links are currently being shared. Click on the X at the end of the line to remove the share link, or in other words to unshare the Dropbox file
Quite easy when you know how!
Hope this may help some people.

The 6 November will be the last ecological Sunday of the year in Rome, with central areas of the city normally only open to limited traffic (the Ztl) closed to all private traffic from 10.00 18.00.
For information on the areas to be closed see www.comune.roma.it.
The Roman atmosphere seems to be improving this year; the legal limit for air pollution set by the European Union was exceeded on 195 days in the first ten months of 2004 and on only 95 days in the same period this year, an achievement, even though the levels set by the E.U. should not officially be exceeded on more than 35 days in a year.
A ban on coke-fuelled central heating boilers which came into effect on 1 September should also help improve the citys air this winter; records show that some 50,000 people in Rome still rely on this very polluting form of heating. The ban was imposed three years ago and now city police are inspecting buildings where these boilers are known to have been used and any that have not been converted to gas are being sealed. Romans have legally been allowed to turn on their central heating boilers since 1 November but unseasonably warm weather has meant that few people have done so.


text: There has been much excitement surrounding the new celebs at the Edinburgh Zoo. Follow this link to the Zoo's Panda page. There is also a great deal of controversy as to whether "a commercial deal" is unethical. It is costing the zoo nearly £700, 000 per year to rent the bears. I understand this money will be used to protect and conserve their habitat in China. I will definately be visiting the Pandas in the Spring to give the boys a chance to see these giant cuddly bears.

Baked avocado fries [Vegetarian]• treehugger.com
This recipe gives instructions for frying the avocado fries. However, I'm not a fan of fried food and prefer to bake things as an alternative whenever possible. So, for a healthier version, simply place the breaded avocado slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place in an oven preheated to 450 degrees. Bake them for 15 minutes, or until the bread crumbs have turned golden.
Serve with different dipping sauces, such as lemon zest aioli or a sour cream and dill sauce. Also try them with a tomato salsa such as tomato and basil, or a pico de gallo. These avocado fries make a wonderful side dish at summer barbeques and dinners.

Generation A: a new story about Afghanistan
Generation A: a new story about Afghanistan
Marred by years of warfare and conflict, Afghanistan is a country in the midst of transition. But according to Jasmin Kozowy, a former media consultant for the US army cum documentary filmmaker, there is much hope on the ground as the new generation of Afghans begins to find their voice.
"We have all this carnage and blood and bombers and the Taliban. But there's also a beautiful culture there that we forget to report on – we forget to report on the success stories. We've been occupying a country for over 10 years there are some amazing things going on in Afghanistan and I think we need to refocus the way we talk about this place," Kozowy says.
Disheartened by the story that the world's media was telling about Afghanistan, Kozowy embarked on producing a film that would "shift the focus" away from what she describes as the "if it bleeds, it leads" news stories – and so her documentary Generation A was born.
"When I first went there I decided that I didn't want to be spinning that story anymore, it was an old narrative, and I really wanted to focus and shift my way to having a more positive narrative for Afghanistan."
For Kozowy, who first visited the country as a 23-year-old 'spin doctor' for the US army, one of the biggest myths that needed to be overcome was that all Afghans are "extremists" or '"terrorists". What she encountered on the ground was a very different story – one of a hospitable, warm and loving people who are taking their own measures to ensure they get their peaceful society back.
"They're fighting for their own voice and that voice is really crying out for education and for the leaders of tomorrow," Kozowy argues, describing the lack of education, the illiteracy and the corruption as the 'greatest issue facing Afghanistan today'.
"On average a kid in Afghanistan goes to school for one to two hours day. It's staggering! 80 per cent of the teachers aren't properly educated for the job; they don't have a high school education or post secondary education. So how will they teach the next generation?"
"I didn't go to one school that had enough books and chairs or didn't have out-of-date textbooks. There's not enough funding that's going into education system and even the funding that is going into education it doesn't get that far because there's such a large seepage of foreign aid. There's a lot of corruption and it's so many layers deep that we're not seeing our international funds going to the right places and we must be responsible for that."
Embarking on two trips to the country for two months at a time, Kozowy began talking to locals and expats on the ground in Afghanistan who are part of this movement towards a healthier narrative for the small nation.
"They know that democracy is just around the corner and that their voice has meaning. How beautiful is that, that this person from a third world country who thinks they have never had a voice in their own country while they were growing up and now they have a voice."
"Afghanis want to stand on their own two feet. We need to help them help themselves," Kozowy stresses, adding that the recent elections in the country, she saw hundreds of thousands of citizens, including many women, line up to cast their vote, despite numerous polling booths being targeted by Taliban insurgents.
One of the greatest obstacles, the young filmmaker explains, is getting the film's message to viewers back home and for them to accept the idea that there is something we can learn from the Afghan people, rather than just believing in the idea that we need to 'save them'.
Part of the problem, Kozowy believes, is that ego is so important today to those of us living in the 'first world'.
"First world people are really getting caught up in their own egos. It's almost like there in a spell where they don't think about anything else or any other people outside of their world. Their world is so faceted with materialistic things that once you subtract those, what is your human essence? Who are you? What do you stand for? What are your morals? What is your ethical responsibility to the international community? These are things we don't ask ourselves enough in the first world."
"They [Afghanistan] want to be engaged but I don't think in the first world do we give enough opportunities for young people like myself to be engaged. One of my biggest challenges as an activist is that I feel like I'm screaming in the woods at times because there are so many people with their blinders on because all they can think about is themselves."
Sick of seeing her Facebook friends post about what they ate and drank today, Kozowy turned to social media to help the cause telling followers about a refugee camp that she visited where most of the children didn't have shoes. She asked for assistance and in a few days, raised $1600 online.
"I went and bought 722 pairs of shoes and distributed them in one day. That was the best day in my whole, life. The hardest part was leaving, knowing that I couldn't do more. I wanted to do more."
But the urge to help others is not something new to Kozowy. Growing up in a family of activists she felt she was born with the responsibility to fight for others and tell the stories for those living in the shadows.
"It was lonely and hard, but at the same time I think I'm speaking for millions of others around the world and that makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I'm doing something with my voice, connecting, bridging that gap between first and third world – it's so important!"
"Everyday I woke up knowing I could die but I was ok with that because I knew what I was doing was right and, hopefully, it had a very positive reaction."
So far, the reaction to Generation A has been inspiring and Kozowy says that many who have watched the film have been encouraged by the hopeful young Afghans who star in this positive narrative for the country, having shifted perspectives and expectations. She hopes to take the film back to Afghanistan by the end of the year.
"We need more empathy, we need more compassion; we need new tactics, we need films like mine that really touch you and make you feel something. Because once you feel something you do something, it's like a sort of call to action."
"We have a society that's really disengaged. We need more people who are a part of the movement for a paradigm shift."
So what's Kozowy's message for other young people who want to get involved?
"Take the plunge. I started working at a local homeless shelter feeding the homeless every Wednesday night, I still do it. There's places and causes in everybody's backyard that need help and compassion. We need to show that we're all connected."

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Graphics is a vital factor in the world of advertising. Right words, alone, are insufficient to make an impact to the public. Lubalin is one example which has proved that incorporating art in words provide an identity to a certain company or organization (Heller). More than defining the character of the company, graphics makes this character so loud that people was able to identify the graphics with the company. Angus Hyland made a very clever design for the corporate brochure of Matter.
This company is a private-hire company. They put the name of the company in the center of two sets of perpendicular lines which mimics a frame of a camera. It is like trying to say that they put the matter on center of everything. It is like saying that the company focuses on the matter. This design is very brilliant because they are effective in saying to the public that they not just cater to private-hire needs but also provide quality services by putting the matter or the need on the center of everything.
It is like giving assurance to the client that the event will be made perfect by the private-hire company. It is like saying to the client that the company looks beyond the client's needs and satisfying those needs even far satisfactory. Works Cited: Heller, Steven.

U.S. Intelligence Community: Impacts of Climate Change Raise the Risk of Conflict in 2018
For the past ten years, beginning with the last year of the George W. Bush Administration, the U.S. intelligence community (IC) has annually warned policy-makers of the security implications of climate change. This year is the eleventh. Yesterday, during a hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) Director Dan Coats released the annual "Worldwide Threat Assessment," which reflects the perspective of the entire U.S. intelligence community regarding the most significant risks to national security. Notably, the assessment includes a robust section titled "Environment and Climate Change" which not only details a range of security threats related to climate change, but also asserts that these risks, combined with other natural resources stresses, "are likely to fuel economic and social discontent–and possibly upheaval–through 2018." In other words, the U.S. intelligence community believes these threats are not on the distant horizon, but rather, already occurring and likely to increase political instability this very year. (more…)
Chronology of Military and Intelligence Concerns About Climate Change
As we look toward a new Administration in the United States, and the path forward on addressing the myriad threats in a rapidly-changing geostrategic landscape, it's worth having a clearer understanding of how the U.S. national security community has come to its current level of concern about climate change. This concern didn't happen overnight, or under a single administration. Rather, it's the culmination of decades of assessments stretching back to the end of the Cold War. (more…)
Climate Change in the 2015 World Wide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community
On February 26, 2015, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper presented the World Wide Threat Assessment for the US Intelligence Community Statement for the Record to the Senate Armed Services Committee. A significant portion of the assessment highlighted risks associated with the impact of climate-exacerbated extreme weather events on global food and water security (see below for those excerpts). The assessment also looked at how climate change is a factor in increasing human security risks related to infectious diseases. (more…)

What data is collected (and shared) about you and how is this data used in Digital Advertising?
The last 10 years have seen huge changes in digital advertising, from simple keyword-targeted ads to data-driven personalised ads targeted to reach customers at the right place and time on phones, tablet, computers and digital TV.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal has highlighted how this data can be used and has started people asking "what information is collected about me? The EU is about to bring in legislation to give people more control of data collected on them, however, the rest of the world has no imminent plans to do the same.
The panel for this briefing consists of digital advertising professionals and data scientists who can answer your questions on what information is generally collected and how it is generally used.
A short presentation on how data is used in digital advertising will be followed by a Q & A session and a panel discussion.

My mom has a cousin who just happens to be a nun and I fell in love with this dancing nuns digital stamp by Mo Manning. I made this card for mom to give to her cousin who has a great sense of humor. I know she will get a chuckle out of it. I will probably make another one just like it for my own sistah. She will crack up because we spent the first 9 years of our school years being educated by nuns. lol
I'm entering it in Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog, challenge 100, Celebrate. If you aren't familiar with her digital stamps...you ought to be. They rock!! Here's a link to the challenge.

New RFF Blog Post Looks at Six States Considering a Carbon Tax
WASHINGTON—In a new blog post today, A Look at Six State Proposals to Tax Carbon, Resources for the Future Darius Gaskins Senior Fellow Dallas Burtraw and Research Assistant Peter Vail look at the possibility of a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as six states consider such a policy: Massachusetts, New York,Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
As the authors observe, even as the political likelihood of passing comprehensive national climate policy has remained low, many states have taken up the mantle. In those six states, legislators have proposed comprehensive carbon taxes as a policy framework to address overall emissions. The authors note that the US Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan has room for states to use a carbon tax for compliance. All of the proposed state policies stand to raise considerable revenue, but how this revenue is used will be vital in determining the outcomes from a carbon tax policy.

:: Sweet sleeping baby....is there anything more precious? ::
:: These were taken yesterday at church. We've been waiting for all our girlies to get big enough to fit into the matching shirts we bought them. From left to right it's Michal (22 months), Denay (almost 10 months), Adaiah (5 months) and Evolette (Michal's sister, almost three months)
It is my prayer that in 20ish years these pictures will show up at our babies weddings and they will all be in each others bridal parties and take pictures of their babies together.
Anyways....life calls. I've still got a little bit of news to post on from as far back as a few weeks but here's hoping the weather will be lovely this week and I'll be spending more time outdoors than in :)
Smooches G&G......Denay (and her mom and dad too) love you!

The Working Poor: Invisible in America
From the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Arab and Jew, an intimate portrait unfolds of working American families struggling against insurmountable odds to escape poverty.As David K. Shipler makes clear in this powerful, humane study, the invisible poor are engaged in the activity most respected in American ideology hard, honest work. But their version of the American Dream is a nightmare: low-paying, dead-end jobs; the profound failure of government to improve upon decaying housing, health care, and education; the failure of families to break the patterns of child abuse and substance abuse. Shipler exposes the interlocking problems by taking us into the sorrowful, infuriating, courageous lives of the poor white and black, Asian and Latino, citizens and immigrants. We encounter them every day, for they do jobs essential to the American economy. This impassioned book not only dissects the problems, but makes pointed, informed recommendations for change. It is a book that stands to make a difference.

Health Insurance Companies Process 1 in 5 Claims Wrong
Proper Medical Billing and Coding is Important for Correct Insurance Payments The American Medical Association (AMA) has come out with a report stating that one in five medical claims submitted to health insurance companies are processed inaccurately, which leaves physicians and other healthcare providers receiving lower or no reimbursements for services provided. The AMA estimates that up to $15.5 billion in unnecessary administrative costs could be saved by medical practices if insurance companies would improve their claims processing accuracy.

Synchronous Online Live Training
WebRTC, the open source technology devised by Google, enables video, talk and text through web browsers. Online language training companies like Tangent Training Co. Ltd envisage that this technology will enable smaller companies to use collaborative architecture that blends video with real-time talk in live lessons with multiple users. The transformation in sound quality is likely to turn the live e-learning world on its head.
Crucially this technology enables real-time video communications in browsers without the need for downloads, plug-ins or installs that have retarded end-user adoption and discouraged major corporations from online training.
WebRTC Reaching Millions…WebRTC has the ability to reach billions of users on internet-connected mobile devices, as well as every PC or Mac with an installed browser. With WebRTC, end users need only click a link or paste a URL into a browser and enter the classroom. "There's no need to download a client or plug-ins, nor is there a complicated sign-in procedure you have to learn," echoes Neil Rodrigues, CEO of Tangent Training, from observations by industry experts Frost & Sullivan.
Tangent Training has been trialling WebRTC with clients around the world with feedback that has reassured many L&D directors that the improvements in clarity, lag and voice-dropping are extensive. "I firmly believe this is a true game-changer for professional online training where intonation and pronunciation are core deliverables," says Alex Hill, Commercial Director of KIS/Orion, Human Resource specialists.
Tangent Training has held several free seminars to sample the technology with great success. The students and teachers were able to communicate clearly from locations all over the world. This tech was definitely worth the wait.

Italian fashion house Versace was founded by designer Gianni Versace in 1978. His signature style of opulent, high-octane glamour became one of the most influential aesthetics of the late Twentieth Century. After Gianni's death in 1997, Donatella, his sister took the creative reins and has continued to steer the house in a carefully considered direction that stays true to Gianni's legend.

Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Saturday
passed the Property Transfer Amendment Bill clearing decks for
leasing out land for construction of power projects for a
period of 40 years.
The House earlier during the day saw opposition PDP and
ruling Congress on the same page regarding some amendments to
the Bill moved by state Revenue Minister Raman Bhalla.
The objective of the Bill is to transfer the requisite
land on lease basis for 90 years in favour of Jammu and
Kashmir Chenab Valley Power Projects (Pvt Ltd) (JKCVPPL) for
construction, commissioning, maintenance and running of three
hydro-power projects -- Pakuldul, Keru and Kawar -- located on
Chenab river in erstwhile Doda district.
Leader of the Opposition, Mehbooba Mufti moved amendments
in the proposed bill that any agreement to be executed with
JKCVPPL shall be done in the name of Jammu and Kashmir Power
Development Corporation alone and with a lease period not
exceeding 35 years.
Almost similar amendments were moved by Congress` Ghulam
Ahmed Mir, Abdul Majid Wani, GM Saroori and MS Niaz that
Chenab Valley Power Projects Limited appearing in the proposed
Bill be replaced by J&K State Power Development Corporation
and the maximum period of the lease should not exceed 40
Opposing the Bill, Mehbooba said that "we have right on
our resources as we are the custodians of our resources."
"Although we want the resources to be tapped for our
benefits and also give fillip to the economy of the state, but
leasing out land for over 90 years and also creation of this
new JKCVPPL...we do not see any benefits as we have
experienced in the past that the state did not benefit by
leasing out the projects to NHPC," the PDP leader said.
"We do not need JKCVPPL as we have our state-owned Power
Development Corporation (PDC) best for this job," she said,
adding that the maximum time period for leasing out the land
should not be more than 35 years.
Similarly, Congress` Mir batted strongly for keeping the
lease period maximum up to 40 years as he said that the life
span of the most power stations is 35 years.
Mir said local MLAs and people of the area, which will be
affected by construction of power projects, should be made
stakeholders in this process and put on board.
The Revenue Minister, after a marathon discussion with
some members, agreed to the one of the Congress` amendment --
the maximum lease period will be 40 years only.
Bhalla further said that all the concerns of members
regarding employment to locals, local area development and
other checks and balances in the newly set up corporation will
be addressed.
The amendments brought by PDP members Mehbooba Mufti,
Nizam-ud-Din Bhat, Abdul Haq Khan, Choudhary Zulfikar Ali and
AR Veeri were rejected on the floor of House by voice-vote.
The Bill was passed after amendments introduced by
Congress` GA Mir, Wani, Saroori and Niaz were withdrawn after
the government assured them of looking into their demands.

CrossFit for Duty Contest winner Lindsay Pedersen checked-in with us this past week and shared her workout program goals. She's very excited to start her journey and describes how difficult it can be performing basic first responder tasks being overweight and out of shape.
Name: Lindsay Pedersen
Age: 23
Occupation: EMT-B
Program goals:
I think this next 90 days will honestly really transform my life. I have been so unhealthy and out of shape for so long now. I have so many goals and things I want to do with my life, and my weight really holds me back. I would LOVE to take the civil service exam and PASS. I would like to be able to extricate or stair chair a patient and not feel like I'm going to die. Previously I would avoid being on the truck at all costs, even putting my turn out gear on was a task, never mind putting a pack on or actually doing anything in gear. Ultimately, I want to feel comfortable in my skin and be healthy.

Now's the time of year when pigeons are beginning to flock in their search for food so February is the traditional month for roost shooting to help control their numbers.
Shooting as many pigeons as possible over the next few weeks is crucial as they'll soon be in breeding mode so every bird you shoot now means one less on the crops later in the year.
As well as doing every farmer in the country a favour by way of pest control, you'll also have some decent sport.
The sheer unpredictability of a pigeon's flight pattern, coupled with its natural speed and ability to veer off like lightning will sharpen your shooting skills more than anything I know.
But we all know they can be tricky targets at the best of times and as no one wants to prick live quarry if they can help it, is it possible to improve your pest control kill rate?
This month I'd like to look at pigeon-type targets; how to nail them when they're coming in to roost, but also include a few snap shooting techniques needed for the typical second barrel bird.
Pigeons can be the most elusive of targets at the best of times, but their Achilles heel is when they commit themselves to land it's when they're feathering back and the wings are in reverse thrust mode that they're at the most vulnerable.
For just a few brief moments they're hanging in the air, almost crow like, before they slide into the branches of the trees. This is when they're most shootable so here are a few pointers to improve your kill to cartridge ratio.
» Kill them when they're still under power, not as they start to drop. (In our case, this is just as they commit to land in the trees.)
» Adjust your stance according to the specific bird. Keep the weight on your front foot. Make sure the toe of your leading foot is pointing towards the kill zone.
» Have the muzzles ready on the flightline – or at least where you think the flightline will continue. Keep the gun moving. Watch the bird closely and be aware of any deviation in the bird's flightpath because of any side winds
On the clay ground the nearest you can get to shooting pigeons coming in to roost is by practicing on typical crow type targets.
In this scenario, though, try and make the situation as realistic as possible. Stay comfortable. Keep the stock just out of the pocket of your shoulder with the muzzles of the gun pointing at, or just in front of the expected pick up point.
You know roughly where the birds will appear, so keep the barrels just below the flight line – to make sure you don't obscure your view of the bird – before you raise the gun to your shoulder.
When the target seems to be hovering quite nicely on the bead of the barrel pull the trigger.
Timing is crucial when trying to dust this type of target.
Take the bird too soon – when it's still a good distance away from the stand – and it might simply breeze through the shot pattern. Trying to kill it too late, though, will often mean the bird is no longer under power and it's starting to drop very quickly indeed.
When your gun mounting technique is correct every time, effective snap shooting comes about predominately by timing. The more you practice, the more you'll get a feel for a target and you'll get to know instinctively the precise moment to pull the trigger.
What you must never do is hesitate. Whenever I see this happening it's always because the shooter is trying extra hard to 'make sure' he hits the bird.
By trying to improve the shot he's undoing everything that his instincts have told him.
In these situations as soon as you start thinking about what you're doing (or trying to achieve) you're almost certain to miss the bird.
These are simply a couple of fun exercises you can do on the clay ground to help you practice authentic snap shooting.
I stress the fun part because, in reality, this goes against virtually everything I've ever said about how to hit more targets!
Keep your wits about you and be ready to move as soon as you see the bird commit to land.
» It might sound a bit daft, but the first idea is not to watch the presentation of the bird before you shoot. Ignorance is bliss in this scenario.
Simply get onto the stand, keep the gun down and call for the bird. You've then got to visually pick up the bird in the air, alter your stance if necessary and mount.
And all while you're mentally assessing the amount of lead required before you swing and fire. Incredibly all this has to be done in what seems like a blink of an eye.
The end result though, is a typical snap shot. Sure, you might miss more than you hit at first, but simply persisting with this little exercise will make you a quicker and better shot in the long run.
» Alternatively, if you know how the bird's going to be presented, make a conscious effort to simply delay your shot so you have to take it at the last moment.
Keep your gun and head down, close your eyes or look at your feet if necessary.
Call for the bird and count to three. When you raise your head the bird will be well on its way. Obviously you're not going to have the time to worry about how you're going to dust the clay, so instinct will take over.
The trickiest pigeon shot is often the second barrel, where the missed bird has veered away, or the second of a double has heard the bang and scarpered.
This going away target often demands instinctive 'snap shooting' and one of the best ways to practice this is with a change of discipline.
Why not have a few rounds of automatic ball trap or universal trench?
The beauty of both these disciplines is that the birds are released at random trajectories – angles and heights – from any one of five traps in the case of universal trench.
It's great fun, and a real sharpener for your shooting skills.
To make it even more realistic try and keep the gun down before you call for the clay.
Importantly, don't worry too much if you miss more than you hit in the beginning – it's the experience that counts.
Although sharpening your reflexes and utilising instinct can definitely improve your hit rate, no shooter can rely on this alone.
There's never been a substitute for perfecting a decent shooting technique.
So make sure your gun fits you properly and you mount it correctly every time.
Ensure your stance – moving your feet if necessary – is correct for the target and your swing is smooth.
Then let instinct, coupled with your mental library of sight pictures take control when you pull the trigger.
Roost shooting pigeon!
Now's the time of year when pigeons are beginning to flock in their search for food so February is the traditional month for roost shooting to help control their numbers.
