4 Foolproof Steps to Tidying Your Home, According to a Professional Organizer
Courtesy of The Line
While cleaning your house has probably been on your mind since the New Year, today is National Organize Your Home Day. If you've been it putting off, there's no better day to get ahead on spring cleaning. In celebration of the holiday, Catherine C., an elite tasker and professional organizer for TaskRabbit, has shared her top tips for getting your home organized. We've highlighted our favorites below.
Implement the Four Box Method. Before you begin, take out four boxes and label them as "trash," "give away," "keep," or "relocate." As you tackle each room, organize items in these boxes accordingly. Once you've finished, put items in the "keep" box back in their place, find a better place for items in the "relocate" box, and give away or dispose of items that fall into either of the remaining categories.
Commit to the 12-12-12-12 Challenge. Catherine challenges you to try to put 12 things in each box as you take on each room in your house with the Four Box Method described above. While 12 might seem like a lot, you'll be surprised by how many things in your home you could live without. Clear out the clutter, open up your space, and make room for the things you really love.
Try the Hanger Edit. Face all of the items in your closet in the opposite direction. As you wear each piece, flip it so it hangs in the correct direction. Set a deadline of a few months, and once you hit that date, take a look at how many pieces were left unworn (make sure to focus on everyday pieces). It will be an eye-opening experience to what you actually wear and how much is taking up space in your closet. Consider editing out the pieces you don't wear.
Take the Two F's Test. Catherine proposes the Two F's test to tidy up cluttered papers. If you can't file it or frame it, then it's time to toss.
Head to the comments to share your own methods for cutting through the clutter, and shop must-haves for an organized laundry room here.

Principles of Adult Surgical Critical Care pp 257-265 | Cite as
Sepsis, Severe Sepsis, and Septic Shock
The sepsis syndrome represents the wide spectrum of the deleterious inflammatory response to an infectious insult. As the most common cause of mortality in the surgical intensive care unit, understanding the diagnosis and management of sepsis is critical for the surgical ICU physician. Early identification and aggressive resuscitation of the septic patient, combined with adequate surgical source control, can be lifesaving. Surgeons and critical care physicians who care for septic patients should be familiar with current evidence-based practices in the management of sepsis. Patients with organ system dysfunction and failure should be identified and appropriate support initiated. As more patients survive severe sepsis and septic shock, a syndrome of persistent inflammation, immune suppression, and catabolism has been identified and presents a new and difficult challenge for physicians.

Collected Errata to the SBML Level 2 Version 1 Specification
- p. 7 Sec. 3.3: The second bullet definition should read (double quote was added and the order of " and ' were switched): The double quote (") and single-quote character (') must be escaped using the entities " and ', respectively, when those characters are used to delimit a string attribute value.
- p. 9 section 3.6.1: the
encodingattribute is permitted on mathml
annotation-xmlelements, not only on
csymbolas stated on that page.
- p. 9 Section 3.6.1: The MathML standard doesn't specify the result of n-ary operators when the number of operands is critically small, for example for
addelements, when the number of operands are zero or one. The specification should clarify the correct behavior. The detailed semantics are described in http://www.sbml.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&goto=2010&rid=0
- p. 10, Sec. 3.6.4: the
delaycsymbol function is not clearly defined. There is no explanation of what range of values is valid for the time. For example, can times be less than zero? Also, are there restrictions on the acceptable values of the argument 'x'?
- p. 13, sec 4.3.1: the can in the 2nd sentance should be replaced by should. Thanks to Sarah Keating for catching this.
- p. 14, sec. 4.4.2: the
idfield of a
unitDefinitionelement must not contain a value from Table 2, the table of
UnitKindvalues. This restriction is necessary because otherwise, a unit definition could redefine one of the base unit kinds, and thereby create a cyclic dependency between unit definitions.
- p. 14, sec. 4.4.2: (Thanks to Maria Schilstra for catching this.) The first formula should be the following:
- p. 16, sec 4.4.3: (Thanks to Sven Sahle for catching this.) The example code redefining the built-in unit
volumeshould replace "liters" with "litre". "liters" is not a valid value for the
kindattribute because the spelling is not the official SI spelling.
- p. 17 section 4.5.5 and p19 section 4.6.4: the text is slightly contradictory. The text might be improved by using the language that is used to describe the validation rules for units on species and compartment elements in Semantic_Validation.
- p. 18 section 4.5.6: the value of
outsidefor a given
compartmentmust be the
id(not name) of another
compartmentin the model
- p. 18 section 4.5.6: the graph formed where compartments are nodes and the arcs are implied by the values of
outsideattributes must be acyclic. Reasoning: otherwise a compartment can be outside itself.
- p. 21 section 4.7.3: or the
id(not name) of a new unit defined in the list of unit definitions
- p. 24 section 4.8.4: this section should specify that the model should not be over determined as defined in the Semantic_Validation Algebraic Rules section.
- p. 27 section 4.9.5: the phrase: In
speciesReference, the field
speciesof type
SIdmust refer to the name of an existing species should be: In
speciesReference, the field
speciesof type
SIdmust refer to the
id(not name) of an existing species, because the name is optional and SBML structures must refer to other components using their identifiers.
- p. 27 section 4.95: if a species identifier occurs in any MathML
cielement, including inside
stoichiometryMathelements, then it should appear in a
simpleSpeciesReferenceelement in the containing reaction. The specification only applies this rule to the
kineticLawelement. Reasoning: such a species is at a minimum a modifier of the reaction.
- p. 29 section 4.9.7 3rd paragraph: The text is overly restrictive and contradictory with respect of the units of species symbols. Species symbols can be either amount or concentration units depending on the species declaration.
- p. 31 section 4.10.5: a variable attribute on a
eventAssignmentelement should be unique amoung the set of assignments within an event element. Reasoning: otherwise the effect of event assignment is ambigous. Which assignment has effect?
- p. 32 Section 4.10.7: Any transition of a trigger expression from false to true will cause an event to fire. Consider an event with delay d, where the trigger expression makes a transition from false to true at times t1 and t2. The
eventAssignmentstructure will have effect at t1 + d and t2 + d irrespective of the relative times of t1 and t2. For example, events can overlap in time so that t1 < t2 < t1 + d still causes an event assignment to occur at t1 + d and t2 + d.
- p. 38 Example 5.3: The "out" reaction should have a
listOfModifierswith a
modifierSpeciesReferencefor species S2 since it is referenced in the reaction's
kineticLaw. Thanks to Tatsuya Ishida for catching this.
- p. 40: the one rule in
listOfRulesshould not use
<apply> ... </apply>. These tags should be omitted. Thanks to Bruce Shapiro for catching this.
- p. 42: the MathML in the two
rateRuledefinitions should not use
<apply> ... </apply>. These tags should be omitted. Thanks to Bruce Shapiro for catching this.
- p. 46: The
definitionURLfor the csymbol
delayshould be "http://www.sbml.org/sbml/symbols/delay", not "http://www.sbml.org/symbols/delay" (the incorrect form has the characters "sbml" omitted). Thanks to Marc Vass for catching this.
- p. 55 appendix A and the SCHUCS notation document p.14 section 3.9: The SCHUCS notation document (and by default appendix A) states that UML inheritance is mapped, in XML Schema, to extension of complexType elements. This is by far the most natural interpretation and the one used in the schema available on the SBML website and used by libSBML. However, this approach introduces a restriction: an ordering of elements is imposed on all extended types because the definition of XML Schema effectively requires the use of sequence ordering in order to be able to use type inheritance in this way. (A full explanation of the details can be found in sec. 13.5 of the book Definitive XML Schema, 2002, by P. Walmsley.) The result is that the ordering of subelements in SBML XML is important: they must appear in the order shown in the UML diagrams in the specification and subelements inherited from super-classes must occur before those of derived classes. For example,
annotationelements must occur before
listOfReactantselements within a

In every classroom, there is a quiet achiever working away behind their desk while classmates talk loudly over the top of them.
In the new school of cheap international mobile minutes, Nomi Mobile is the quiet one, in the shadow of big-talking Lebara Mobile and Lycamobile.
Their rivalry, which has spilled over from the calling card sector and other mobile markets, has been apparent on billboards and bus stops since their launches in October 2007 and September 2008 respectively, as they have lavished millions on promoting their services.
Nomi – meaning 'call' in auxiliary international language esperanto – was founded by Stuart Eve and Neil Morgan and second to market with a UK MVNO in November 2007, riding on Vodafone's network through a wholesale deal with BT (its own mobile proposition piggybacking on Vodafone).
But Nomi claims to enjoy the quiet, as its bigger competitors take lumps out of each other in front of the industry and public.
In a café around the corner from its Waterloo head office – quieter, more modest than its rivals' – Nomi head of marketing Robert Ashcroft (pictured) suppresses laughter at the mention of the legendary guerrilla marketing tactics employed by certain rival firms (tearing down posters, buying out stock, sabotaging print advertising campaigns).
He takes the classroom analogy, and suggests quiet achievers don't get involved in such dirty games; and that comparatively meagre resources force a more sensible, targeted approach to marketing.
Nomi micro-manages its ad spend, and unless it sees a tangible return on investment.
Says Ashcroft: "We don't make the same investments in marketing as some others, but business is pretty steady. We ran the maths [on comparable spend] and saw that it would be difficult to get a profitable return on investment.
"We expect acquisition to be steady. Growth will be smaller than the other major players in this sector but we have deliberately chosen not to make that marketing investment."

Mercyhurst lost for only the second time in the second half of the season.
The Mercyhurst University men's hockey team's long unbeaten stretch seemed destined to survive for another day.
The Lakers overcame three two-goal deficits, and Erik Brown's three goals for Rochester Institute of Technology, to force overtime Monday on Jonathan Charbonneau's goal with 12 seconds left in regulation. But the Lakers' nine-game unbeaten streak ended with a 6-5 Atlantic Hockey Association loss at Mercyhurst Ice Center on Alden Dupuis' goal 1 minute, 59 seconds into the extra period.
"It's just a shame that we couldn't have held on and found a way to either win the game or certainly get a point out of it," coach Rick Gotkin said. "That would have been one of those nights when you would have taken that point and felt pretty good about it."
The Lakers (15-11-4, 12-8-4 AHA), who remain two points out of first in the conference standings, began the evening tied with Boston University for the nation's longest streak without a loss.
They soon trailed 2-0, which put the Lakers into comeback mode for the second time in three games during a wild opening period that featured five goals on 21 shots and an uncharacteristically quick exit for Mercyhurst senior goaltender Brandon Wildung.
RIT scored three times on six shots in less than eight minutes, with Dupuis' rebound of his own shot giving the Tigers (13-15-2, 12-11-1) a 3-1 lead and sending sophomore Colin DeAugustine into net for only the fifth time this season.
The goaltending change seemed to spark the Lakers, who began generating more offense. Joseph Duszak's sixth goal of the season, a shot from the blue line that eluded the Tigers' Christian Short, moved the Lakers within a goal at 3-2 at the 11:13 mark of the period.
The Lakers had momentum going into the middle period, until Brown scored his second of the evening 47 seconds in to regain RIT's two-goal lead at 4-2. Brown ranks among NCAA Division I's best with 20 goals on the season. The Lakers controlled play at both ends of the ice in the period despite that goal, as they outshot the Tigers 13-4 and trimmed their deficit to 4-3 with 1:58 left on Charbonneau's first goal of the game, and the club's seventh power-play goal in the past three games.
Taylor Best's bank shot off Short from below the goal line capped the comeback to a 4-4 tie 8:03 into the third period, only to have Brown redirect Adam Brubacher's pass into the net to complete his three-goal performance and give the Tigers a 5-4 lead.
RIT's lead stood until the closing seconds of the third period. But the Tigers bounced back to earn a key win.
"RIT I thought played very, very well. They have a good hockey team," Gotkin said. "That's just how it goes."
• News and notes: Lakers senior and Millcreek Township native Bryan Sienerth netted an assist on Duszak's goal to extend his career-high point streak to eight games (four goals, nine assists). … Charbonneau and Duszak had three points apiece.

Star fuji artist, Alhaji Abass Obesere, aka Omo Rapala, has opened up on the incessant crisis rocking the Fuji Musician Association of Nigeria. Blaming the king of the genre, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, also known as K1 De Ultimate, for all that is going wrong there, Obesere also suggested the way out of the deadlock.
In an interview with ENCOMIUM Weekly on Thursday, June 23, 2010, in Ikeja, Lagos the Asakasa king also spoke on other issues including his environmental ambassador honour, the Gulder Ultimate Celebrity Showdown and more.
Recently, you were decorated as one of the environmental ambassadors in Lagos State, how does that feel as an entertainer?
Honestly, it feels good. I feel particularly happy about it. It is a good development in my life and career that the government of Lagos State, under the leadership of Governor Raji Fashola, considering me for that. It was something I wasn't expecting. I was surprised when I got the letter.
I thank God Almighty for the honour. I am using the opportunity to thank Lagos State government under the leadership of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola and Muiz Banire who signed the letter of nomination. I really appreciate it. I feel elated about it.
Not too long ago, you participated in the Gulder Ultimate Celebrity Showdown. What would you say has been working for you, because it is like it is Obesere all the time?
(Laughs) There is nothing working for me other than God. And also believe it is because I have only learnt to be good to people I meet at any time and at any moment. I believe that whatever you know how to do, try and continue with it, don't think people are not seeing you.
What level do you intend moving to after this?
I grow every second and I believe it is not by my power or by anybody's power, but by the power of God who created me. And for the kind of love people have for me and my music, I still believe I will continue to move higher and higher. Something better will continue to come my way by the grace of God.
How did you feel when you were evicted from the Gulder Ultimate Celebrity Showdown?
I didn't feel bad because I believe I had achieved what God wanted me to go and get there. God used the opportunity to reveal a message to me, that Abass Akande, don't trust anybody, don't rely on human beings. He revealed to me that I can be a friend to anybody, but don't reveal all your secrets to people. It was a good experience that will remain with me forever.
It is not only when you will the star prize in any competition that you need to appreciate the fact that God really loves you, what of those that their names were not even remembered for such a thing. So, I don't feel bad in anyway about my eviction.
Since you all left the camp, have you been communicating with others?
Yes, most of us are still communicating. You know our being together in the camp gave us the opportunity to know one another better. And for one to be together for a while was also enough to be talking even many years after the camp experience. Especially, Emeka and I, Daddy Showkey, Muma Gee and so on. We are all friends now.
We only heard of the N7.5 million star prize won by Emeka Ike. How much was given to each of you?
What I will only tell, you is that everybody had his or her own gift. What happens is that people only set their eyes on the star prize. All I am concerned about is that I had a joyous moment.
Let's go to your career proper now. Why is it that crisis has not for once left the fuji music circle? If it is not you today, it would be Wasiu Ayinde, if not Wasiu, it could be Pasuma or Osupa Saidi. Can you explain?
I want to use this opportunity to tell the whole world that it is Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde that is creating problems among the fuji musicians. He doesn't want peace with the association at all. He is the one creating families. Although, I am not against that. There is nothing wrong in creating families, but that must not be used to cause crisis in the association.
For instance, about three months back, this guy in Ibadan, Alhaji Rasheed Ayinde, celebrated his 30 years on stage, none of all these people calling themselves Arabambi family was ion attendance. It was only those of us who don't belong to any family, any caucus that you will always see at every event, because we don't have any malice to keep with anybody.
I believe we are one. You know, this issue of national chairman of the association, which God has made me, most of Wasiu Ayinde's friends had to call Alhaji Saka Orobo, advising him to take his national chairmanship form me. Wasiu Ayinde also said in an interview he granted a daily paper that until Saidi Osupa and I come to his house and beg him, he won't do anything for FUMAN.
Then, I asked some people who are saying we should go and beg him for what. This is all about association. I don't think we have issues personally to have warranted that. And I don't think the position I am holding today in the association was lobbied for. I was nominated, after which there was an election, which was credible. I didn't bribe anybody. What Wasiu Ayinde is now saying is that he knows the constitution, that the constitution was made in his house and he believes it is going to favour him, but the reverse is the case.
But K1 De Ultimate is one of the members of Board of Trustees?
Yes, he is, that is what he is not supposed to be dabbling into another area which does not concern him at all. Once you are a member of Board of Trustees of any association, you are automatically one of the godfathers of the association. You don't need to poke-nose into other areas, especially when it has to do with the composition of the executive members.
And it was the same Alhaji Wasiu that sang in of his albums that once can't be made an Imam and he will still be contesting for Seriki again. Now, he has been made an Imam and he still wants to be Seriki.
What are you now doing to address the situation?
All I am now doing is to let the whole public know that it is Wasiu Ayinde that is causing problem in fuji music circle. I don't care what this would cause. I believe if we don't disagree, we can't agree. So, let us disagree so that we can agree. Wasiu Ayinde in his interview with that daily paper, he said he had done a lot of things for fuji artists. I will say it emphatically, he has not done anything tangible for any fuji artist. He only wants himself to be there forever and life is not like that. I know the type of person he is. If he has done anything for anybody, he says in public, uses it to sing up and down. I, as a person, I have done a lot for many artists which I don't need to be talking about. He is a self-centered person.
With all said and done, when will peace come?
Honesty, there can be peace. If he can tell all those calling themselves Arabambi family, advice them well, tell them we are all one, I believe there could be peace. A lasting one.
There was a time I invited all these guys, when Wasiu Ayinde was away for a medical treatment. There was a peaceful resolution and everybody was happy. But by the time he came back, everything was scattered again. So he is the major problem of the association. Fuji house is one house and that is how it is supposed to be. I have no personal issue with him, I just want to tell him to allow peace reign in our association.
K1 reacts
Reacting to Obesere's allegations, K1 de Ultimate, who spoke, through his manager, Percy Ademokun, had this to say:
'Don't mind Obesere, he likes making unnecessary noise anytime he wants to release an album. How can Alhaji Wasiu be responsible for the crisis in fuji music circle when he is even the one making peace? I think he should just leave Wasiu out of this and face his career. Arabambi that he is referring to has been in existence for about five years now and that has not been causing any ripples in the association. I don't see anything wrong in people of like minds coming together. Maybe he is trying to react to the statement credited to Alhaji Agba that for FUMAN to progress, all the fuji artists should rally round Wasiu and give him more support because what he, his father, has not been able to do for a long time now (Peace), K1 has been able to achieve and bring all the fuji artists together, making progress for the association. If he wants to face Alhaji Agba, let him face him. H should leave Wasiu alone and stop making noise.

Issue:June' 2017
Dismantle Sports Authority
India is the only country
which refuses to see
beyond its capital, New
Delhi, for holding the
multi-disciplined games
like Asian, Commonwealth
and even Olympics. The worst
malady is that all stadiums, built
for the 1982 Asian Games, were
dismantled to ashes to construct
new ones for the 2010
Commonwealth Games.
India is the only country Suresh Kalmadi where government, private agencies and others spoil Olympic medal winners so completely that they have no zeal, enthusiasm, and physical and mental health to retain or improve on the previous performance.
Suresh Kalmadi
For the 2010 Commonwealth
Games, there was an
unprecedented enthusiasm and
awakening among sportspersons.
The level of self-belief had
increased beyond imagination.
With tears and toil and complete foursupport
and immense sacrifices of
parents. "WE can do it" was the
mantra. The women and men won
medals and did India proud. They
saw tri-colour flying and national anthem being sung to declare rise
of 'new India, incredible India'.
They achieved it without any help
from the concerned federation or
SAI or any other agency.
Vijay Goel
The investigations revealed that
they had caused an unprecedented
damage to the cause and spirit of
the games. They were hauled up
and arrested for corruption and
financial bungling running in
several crores. One by one, all of
them secured bail with influence and money cushion.
According to reports, during
these painful years, the evidences
are said to have been weakened or
destroyed . No one knows what is
the physical health of these cases.
Buta Singhl If an agile journalist of a watchful daily could get 'smelly dope' for unhygienic conditions, why not sports ministry could get 'dirty picture of toilets'? Accompanied by the SAI officicial, Manjushree Roy who, on the quiet and subtly, wanted to throw blame on the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). The investigations show that only a few keys of rooms and toilets were handed over to the WFI but bulk of keys of important rooms and toilets were still in possession of the SAI. According to reports, a huge sum of between Rs 2 lakh and 3 lakh were spent on sophisticated gadgets and equipment. India has never been known for providing due weight to hygiene. Worldwide, every house-small, big and palatial—consider a corner/toilet room to be the most important place as every user, in solitude, has o spend 3-4 minutes to 30-35 minutes.
Narendra Modi The Sports Authority of India (SAI) was born after the 1982 Asian Games. Buta Singh was the first minister, The birth of the SAI was the untimely death of the National Institute of Sports (NIS). During these 35 years from 1983 to 2017, the SAI contribution is cipher. Just nothing. Hundreds of crores have been misspent on salaries, perks, houses, travelling of the officers.
Praful Patel
The money is virtually thrown into
gutter. The SAI stands for
Suffocating (Sports) Authority of
India (SAI).

Hi friends! Hope you're enjoying the Christmas season (and Happy Hannukah today too)! I certainly am. Even though I'm still feeling the loss of Paper Crafts magazine and I'm missing submitting, I'm enjoying the time to reorganize and rethink my creative process.
At this point, I have several cards that were slotted for publication in upcoming issues of PC&S, so I'll be able to share those with you here! First up is a Christmas card I created using my own cut file that I designed. I thought it would be fun to create a plaid texture and hadn't seen many before, so gave it a whirl!
I used BasicGrey's 25th and Pine collection as well as a Papertrey Ink sentiment stamp.
Click here to access and download the .png file that I used to create the plaid cut file. And leave a comment if you have any questions on how to use it!
If you decide to download and use the cut file, all I ask is that you link back to my blog or this post when you use it. Thanks so much and I'd love to see what you do with it!
Happy crafting,

Translated from Japanese to English, Chotto Matte means wait a minute, and this restaurant gives room for pause. Owner and Restaurateur Kurt Zdesar is of Peruvian-Japanese descent, and the restaurant is a beautiful blend of Peruvian and Japanese culture. While the restaurant walls have contemporary anime drawings sketched on them, the bar has a minimalist aesthetic that pays tribute to older Japanese traditions. These two different styles reveal Chotto Matte's commitment to both the past and the future. The menu combines Japanese and Peruvian all-natural, locally sourced ingredients to create a fusion of flavours and cultures, unique to the multicultural city of London. Insiders and locals recommend that if you are not sure what to order, ask a waiter for advice or let them decide for you--they always have the best suggestions.

Melania Trump's friend speaks out on 'rabid' marriage rumors
Rumors have been flying that Melania is miserable as first lady since the early days of Donald Trump's presidency.
But one of Mrs. Trump's close friends, Karen LeFrak, has stepped up to address these "rabid rumors" about Melania and her relationship with her husband, which she refers to as "laughable and fictional."
LeFrak, wife of businessman and longtime friend of the president Richard LeFrak, told the Washington Post via email that Melania is actually "enjoying her life and new role."
RELATED: Melania and Donald Trump: Their love story in photos:

She continued, saying the first lady "does not seek attention" and has been preoccupied "carving out an important role to support women and children" and "redecorating their residence in the White House," where she will allegedly move after her son, Barron, completes his school year in June.
"They are very happy!" LeFrak concluded to the Post. "Their relationship is great."
Will LeFrak's testimony put a halt to the apparently widespread concern the public has shown for the first lady?
Only time will tell.

We are still in the magic of Christmas and I think it's a good time to reflect on whether Santa will grant the COP 21 wishes. As all children know, there are no guarantees. And that's the whole point, there is nothing in the COP21 agreement that sets out to try to guarantee anything, we are told that's because that would be too hard. The climate Santa may come one day, but maybe not.
Not long ago the discussion around climate negotiations was "enforceability", how would an agreement, assuming it is reached, be enforceable. The answer is of course simple: trade tariffs on anyone that breaks the agreement, forcing the environmental costs internalized on polluters. i.e. the "polluter pays" (the true actual cost of production) which is the only method that is both common sense and proven to work for pollutants of which there is no practical mechanism to ban altogether in the short term.
And why should anyone else pay for damages caused by someone else? Why should society be harmed by the damages from pollution but ensure the polluters make as much profit as possible? There is no rational reason for society to do so, and so the rational course of action is for global society to force the internalization of the costs of pollutants on the exports from polluting countries who do not abide by an effective agreement between a "climate block" that will trade only with countries that join the block and abide by the agreement. A sort of realpolitik for global climate security.
But of course trade tariffs are off the table, and so anything else that might be expensive.
Rather, talk is cheap, and as the world discovered at Kyoto, a "good talk" agreement can be reached and lasts two entire decades before it loses all relevance and a new "good talk" agreement is needed to replace it.
Now, you may find this a cynical view and you may sympathize with the "good talkers" that see this agreement as the best we can hope for so we need to get behind it … or at least not gripe about a "volunteer system to pick up garbage outside" as the best we can do; we shouldn't bite the hand that has consistently failed to address an existential problem we humans are facing and inflicting on all of life. That wouldn't be nice now would it.
Cynical COP21, not me
An alternative view is that the cynical position is to entertain this merry go round of good talk agreements interspersed with failed agreements that serve to lower the bar of "success and expectations" for the next agreement, and in the meantime wasting time either due to hope for a quick techno fix or seeing that climate change will damage enemies more than friends.
And from this point of view the agreement is a big success. The emission cuts are voluntary, therefore the essential part of a "Climate Agreement" is meaningless, yet the "Climate Agreement" is legally binding, meaning that language such as "no country is liable for damages caused by their emissions" will not be revisited, as it is "legally binding", a big concession for countries who may experience damages of a total nature, in exchange for the "best we can do voluntary actions" on part of the big countries: i.e. if the big most polluting countries don't hold their promises they are still liable.
From any legal point of view this is the significance of the COP21 agreement: legally binding concessions for nothing of legal consequence. Now, might the agreement inspire the most polluting nations to lead the way to radically reduce emissions by 2030. Let's hope they volunteer to do so.
Is saying this contrarian? Perhaps. Alarmist? Yes. But do we want to accept a politically correct status quo in which putting at risk all of humanity rather than imperil a certain kind of "economic growth" proven to be essential to no one and harmful to most of us in all sorts of ways already, is a normal position we should expect the most powerful countries to have and find it normal they refuse anything but a voluntary based system to address the issue. Should we accept that this does not cause us to feel contrary and alarmed?
We – caring humans – are presented with a choice:
a) wait a couple of decades to see if this good talk is not lost in translation to sufficient action, or
b) come up with a different world view and strategy as a backup plan in case the agreement fails.
Now though the situation seems dire – any number of statistics could make the point here, such as 98% of mammals on earth are either human or our domestic farm or pet animals – it is not hopeless: half of biodiversity may already be lost or doomed, but that still leaves half we can choose to not destroy: to see the ocean as half full of life, not half empty.
The root of the problem
What is the root of the problem? It is clearly the extraction of resources to power our economic system; it is this extractive activity of energy, soil, fish, mines, etc. that causes the destruction and disequilibrium of life on a global scale. Why is this problem difficult to solve? Because our economic system has been conditioned on the constant supply of these resources. Why are we having a hard time changing our economic system? This may not be so obvious, but I will offer my own view.
Is the problem a lack of technical means? I do not believe so. We have the technology to radically reduce our impact. Some of this "technology" is not even really "technology" as we normally view it, but simply the physiological knowledge that we can survive with far less meat and fish consumption. Other technology didn't even need to be invented recently but existed in previous decades or even centuries, such as public transport, non-monoculture home gardens to multi-layered sylvi-agriculture (forest gardens), terra preta (the only known example of pre-modern agriculture that generated topsoil, not simply preserving or depleting it). Of course, though most passed societies were not sustainable over a long period of time this was mostly because they did not have the science needed to identify and mitigate the problems they caused over the long term, science we have today.
In the 60 and 70s when these ecological problems were first widely known, I wasn't alive at that time but I believe a satisfactory explanation at this time is simply system inertia. The global economic system is very big and it takes time to change directions. At that time I imagine change seemed to be new and seeing successes on many social and environmental fronts, from independence of colonies, establishing conservation areas, desegregation, and the first environmental laws and success in arresting ozone depleting CFC's (the first global ecological problem), I would empathize that if actors in this time thought that as these things were obviously good, they would continue towards betterness as the inertia of the system was slowly pushed in new directions. I wasn't around so can't attest to what people at this time felt, but theory of system inertia is clearly flawed: there are forces pushing back and no good consensus on which way to push to begin with.
Why the environmental movement is (still) not a game changer?
From what I read, the environmental movement has only recently realized that the problem is also not simply a lack of awareness, that if people and leaders had the information then they would act "rationally" to solve the problems that cause economic harm to the whole nation in the present with real doomsday scenarios plausible in the future if nothing is done. The information is widely available and widely disseminated, leaders and their advisers understand the physics and the risks, but acting "rationally" from an environmental point of view is rarely the result.
If a person receiving new information A does not take necessary action according to ethical theory B, the conclusion to draw is that the person receiving A does not believe in ethical theory B.
This the environmental movement has started to understand very well, but often the wrong conclusion is reached. The movement spends an enormous amount of time trying to convince people to have ethic B and, failing that, tries to find ways to convince people with a different ethic, say ethic C, to act in a way compatible with ethic B for reasons compatible with ethic C (but that the believers in ethic C haven't hitherto realized).
One of the main drivers for the above mistake is the belief in modern marketing: That modern marketing techniques can change people's behavior. Now it is true that modern marketing "works to sell stuff," changing people's behavior from "don't need" to "I want, I want ... I need, I need," but the mechanism by which it works is by taking advantage of people's weaknesses and shear volume. Even if we assume the underlying point of view required to effectively engage in modern marketing – that the environmental movement is superior in morals and wisdom and we have the right to manipulate people's behavior for their own good – is true, from a purely practical point of view, even if we assumed marketing worked, there is no way to compete with the deluge of "messages" people receive in this way and manage to block out the other 99% of them.
The average person in an advanced society sees and hears thousands of marketing messages a day and only buys a tiny fraction. So throwing another "environmental belief" product into the mix we should expect to get a similar amount of buy-in. Now, a very small amount of buy-in from the entire population can make a brand very rich, but it is not enough to change the economic system entirely. Moreover, environmentalists rarely understand, to their credit, that a true belief in the right to manipulate the inferior, through every strategy imaginable, is the basis of modern marketing, and so the marketing of "green messages" is often awkward and ineffective. As Naomi Klein says in her critique of the movement in This Changes Everything.
Maybe we can't force people to change (nor manipulate people to do good with bad motivations by some craft argumentation they are unlikely to follow) and the attempt is largely a waste of time.
What we're left with is the people in the environmental movement who really want to do something. Not in a "stop blaming others, blame ourselves" depressing rhetoric, but simply because that's all we have to work with and our Ethic B says we have to try despite the odds.
What we face is absolutely terrifying. We must strive to be absolutely efficient.
Was the non-binding, not sufficient even if all volunteer pledges are carried out, agreement perhaps just taking advantage of what countries plan to do anyways given the competitiveness of renewable technologies, to create the illusion of a successful climate summit and the best deal that could be hoped for given the prevailing ethic-C's that dominate our major political systems? Perhaps. Could more have been done at this conference? Perhaps not. Can we do more anyways? Yes.
Though there have been some successes so far, and maybe COP21, considering the context, is big success, the overall status is of complete failure given the trend of biodiversity loss. However, new plans always fail until they succeed. How long should we expect the environmental movement to take to succeed? Maybe we're ahead of schedule. We cannot know, and our failure until now is no reason to stop in any case. But, it may give us reason to pause and review our strategy.
This will be the general subject of the following series of essays. First however, as promised above, we must revisit this marketing thing, for the whole business of modern marketing is air brushing the lines between reason and madness.
I can't wait to get started
To give a prelude, I specifically say "modern marketing" to contrast with "classical marketing". As stated very clearly by one of its founders, Edward Bernays, the difference is that modern marketing is characterized by the attempt to manipulate people, whereas classical marketing was characterized by the attempt to inform people a product exists. The modern marketer would air brush the line between "communicating" and "manipulation" and say all communication is manipulation and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to manipulate you into thinking they're not trying to manipulate you!!
Aha! However, this clearly does not stand up to scrutiny: if you're about to eat some crazy spicy hot chipotle sauce at a dinner party I invite you to and I inform you "hey that's crazy spicy" in communicating this to you there's no reason to suppose I'm trying to manipulate you into not-eating the sauce; indeed, supposing some sort of "sauceterfuge" arrives at a contradiction: If I wanted to manipulate you into not eating the hot sauce why would I put it out to begin with? If I wanted to manipulate you into eating the hot sauce I would say nothing when I see you going for the sauce. Either way, it doesn't make much sense that I'm trying to manipulate you, and the alternative theory that I'm informing you of the hot-stateness of the sauce so that you can make your own decision about seems more tenable.
The reason I will emphasize this marketing subject (the focus of the next article) is that there's enormous amounts of time dedicated to the problem of "making people understand", or "why people don't get it", or "can't say it like this as it may offend this or that kind of person" and I believe not enough time of just communicating what we each believe, debating the respective merits of these beliefs when they differ, and letting others decide if they want the hot earth or not. For reasons I will develop in the next article, I believe informative communication is the only viable strategy and "behavior modification" is counter productive.
My menu: let's examine our intentions
After this subject I will get onto a general overview of the environmental movement's strategy and what things I think we can do better. One special note, however, for those that fear oversimplification will follow, is that I will try to painstakingly avoid "category condemnation fallacy" of debating the respective merits of entire types of action, such as protests vs. ecovillages or fighting jurisprudence battles vs. focusing on law formation; these "types" of actions have no moral content in themselves. No "type" of anything is absolutely good or absolutely bad; indeed, even choosing not to hide a Jew or invalids in Nazi Germany could be justifiable if it would be certain to endanger the 100 Jews and invalids one was already hiding. No matter how good or bad a type of action seems we can always imagine a context where it seems otherwise. Rather, only intention has moral content.
The intention to save as many Jews, invalids and other undesirables from genocide as possible under the Nazis has moral content, one I believe was very just, but those that carried out that struggle could not practically hide everyone and faced very difficult choices in very difficult times on how to save as many as possible. Today most people view it entirely normal for the people that were not in the Nazi craze to help the Jews and other targets of cleansing, and entirely normal that great personal risk was taken to resist the Nazis. Yet, at the time, in Germany and occupied countries, it was not normal at all to be too alarmed or take too much personal risk in resisting the Nazis, and those who did overcame large pressures to do nothing.
Today it is abnormal to be "too alarmed" or take "too much" personal risk when we face the potential genocide of humanity and a large part of all life on the planet. In the future I believe people will similarly believe that it was entirely normal to resist the destruction of all people's and life in general, yet it does not make it any easier for the people doing so today to overcome the many pressures to do nothing. So in this review of the environmental movements strategy, that I would say I have seen a fair bit of the workings of on many levels, it should be clear from the outset that the pressure on people to do nothing is the hardest barrier to overcome, and though we should strive to facilitate the doings of things wherever possible we cannot fundamentally alter a person's will to overcome the pressures or not. At the end of the day we may be enough people with enough actions to avoid disaster or not. We cannot however change the moral constitution of those that do nothing or are actively destroying the planet.
That being said, we cannot effectively debate entire kinds of actions, other than to say all different kinds of actions are needed – slowing and frustrating destructive forces on one front while creating a viable alternative set of living arrangements on the other – and we each must do the kinds of actions we feel suitable for ourselves. However, we can debate specific strategies and actions in the specific context we find ourselves in as being productive of counter productive and we can also discuss how better coordinate these different kinds of actions to be on the whole more effective. This then is the subject of this series of articles.

The Lady and the Unicorn: A Novel
I wanted to give this book 1½ stars, but rounded down to 1. I disliked the main character, the tapestry painter Nicolas des Innocents, by page 10, but I assumed that the author would have him grow and change as a person by the end of the book -- presumably through the process of creating the remarkable tapestries that inspired the novel. Sure, it's an obvious and almost cliché plot, but I don't need a crazy original plot in order to enjoy a book. Disappointed! He is still a pig at the end of the story (that's my spoiler, btw).There are two young women in the book: Claude, who is the daughter of the nobleman who commissioned the titular tapestries, and who is grumpy and horny and apparently would rather fool around with the slimy Nicolas des Innocents than have any worthwhile future; and Aliénor, the blind weaver's daughter, who is going to be married off to a disgusting brute whose smell literally makes her gag. Both of them have fathers who don't care about them or undervalue them, and mothers who basically care more about their virginity than their happiness. I know life was very bad for women in the 15th century. But when I pick up a book set in that time, I expect the author to have worked around that problem and given me some way to live with the disgusting attitudes and expectations that the characters face. Again, I was disappointed here. This passage, in which the Claude's mother Geneviève de Nanterre has just discovered that Claude has been fooling around with the despicable Nicolas, gives you all you need to know about the inner life of the women in this book:I gritted my teeth. Claude knows only too well how valuable her maidenhead is to the Le Vistes -- she must be intact for a worthy man to marry her. Her husband will inherit the Le Viste wealth one day, if not the name. The house on the rue du Four, the Château d'Arcy, the furniture, the jewels, even the tapestries Jean is having made -- all will go to Claude's husband. Jean will have chosen him carefully, and the husband in turn will expect Claude to be pious, respectful, admired, and a virgin, of course. If her father had caught her...I shivered.Of course it would be anachronistic for Chevalier to have written women who could be self-aware or expect anything other than the treatment they got, but to reduce the whole plot to the worst aspects of their lives -- not just their subjugation to men or the reduction of their value to just whether or not they are pure, but also the ruination of unwanted pregnancy and complete lack of education other than religious study -- was just depressing. And it wasn't enlightening-depressing, like My Jim: A Novel, because it was bodice-rippy enough that I think we were supposed to be titillated and amused by all the bawdiness even as it ruined or threatened to ruin almost every female character in the novel. And contrasting the oppressive atmosphere that controlled literally every moment of Claude's life was the gallingly self-centred Nicolas, who waltzed through the novel with complete liberty, consuming women for his own pleasure and then leaving them (and their children) behind once they have served his purpose. Wow, I really hated this book! Forget the half star, this was just a 1.

Chopra is principal investigator for NSF nonlinear system tracking control grant
ISR-affiliated Assistant Professor Nikhil Chopra (ME) is the principal investigator of a three-year, $325K grant from the National Science Foundation for "Tracking Control of Nonlinear Systems Under Sensing, Computational, and Communication Constraints." The grant is part of NSF's Energy, Power and Adaptive Systems program.
The research will investigate control algorithms for resource constrained trajectory tracking in nonlinear systems. Tracking controllers are widely utilized in several applications, for example in robotic systems for manufacturing applications. However, the implementation of these controllers is subjected to several practical constraints that limit overall system performance. In applications, such as robotic systems for industrial automation, these problems have prevented the realization of high precision tracking, thereby stymieing the potential impact of robotic systems. In contrast to time-triggered periodic sampling, a Lyapunov function based event-triggered approach will be utilized for addressing resource constrained tracking in nonlinear systems.
The research deals with the design of tracking controllers for nonlinear systems under sensor, computational, and communication constraints. The approach is based on event-triggered controllers for trajectory tracking in nonlinear systems and by co-designing event- triggers and quantizers for nonlinear systems. The research will lead to the development of a hybrid control framework where various resource constraints can be treated in a unified manner. This approach will provide a rigorous solution to the important problem of tracking in robotic systems under sensor constraints, thereby significantly impacting industrial automation.
The understanding of resource constrained trajectory tracking using an event-triggered controller will provide a useful alternative to the classical time-triggered control framework. The research should significantly enhance the tracking performance of robotic systems under sensor constraints and render them viable for several emerging manufacturing applications.

Timeshare ownership specialists Silverpoint have opened a new state-of-the-art centre at Playa del Ingles, designed to showcase the company's holiday products to a multi-national clientele.
While holidaying on the island, consumers can pop by to learn more about Silverpoint Explorer, a "test drive" three year trial membership plan that allows buyers to sample the Silverpoint lifestyle before upgrading to the company's full membership Vacation Club.
The Silverpoint Experience is also home to Silverpoint Travel Agency, which means consumers can check out flight and holiday offers with easy, instant booking for members.
The Experience Centre is a large open-plan building which also conveniently houses the Silverpoint Travel Agency, a facility dedicated to providing special flight and holiday offers with an easy and instant booking service for members.
Sales director John MacDonald, who has watched timeshare evolve during his twenty years in the industry, says: "We wanted to move away from the clichéd idea of a high-pressure sales environment. It was important to us that the presentation and the time that customers spend with us should be relaxed, enjoyable and pleasant."
The group decided to launch The Silverpoint Experience specifically in Gran Canaria because it is a prime year-round holiday destination, popular with holidaymakers of all nationalities.
Mark Cushway, CEO of Silverpoint Leisure, adds: "John has always been a well known and respected figure in European timeshare. We regard his involvement as a real coup and look forward to the coming months and years as the Explorer product takes off. We are also excited at the opportunities this product offers us in the shape of future members of the Silverpoint Vacation Club."

Naturally produced whey is loaded with protein and when it is kept as pure and unprocessed as possible and made from the milk of pasture-fed cows, it is also loaded with antioxidants and important amino acids. Most commercial whey powders are high-heat-treated, acid-flushed, and stripped of vital nutrients, creating an imbalanced, acidic "whey isolate" that's frequently contaminated with synthetic additives, chemical detergents, and heavy metals.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage warned against Natanyahu's approval of Sharansky's plan in al-Buraq wall, considering it a real threat to all al-Buraq area and al-Aqsa mosque.
The Foundation called on the Islamic nation to intervene immediately to confront such plans that represent a flagrant attack on al-Aqsa mosque and to al-Buraq wall particularly.
The Foundation stated that Haaretz newspaper said that Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky, who formulated the proposal, to draw up a timetable for implementing his plan at al-Buraq area.
Al-Aqsa Foundation confirmed that implementing this Judaization scheme seriously affects al-Aqsa mosque and its surroundings, confirming that Natanyahu invited the so-called Jewish Agency chairman to discuss the plan.
Sharansky's plan and the Israeli schemes in al-Buraq wall aim to blur and Judaize the Arab and Islamic monuments in al-Aqsa mosque, the Foundation said.
The Foundation warned against dealing with Sharansky plan, stressing that the occupation has no right at al-Buraq area which is an Islamic endowment.
