Down the drain
By Gene Miller, July/August 2013
Can Victorians afford—literally—to let the CRD build a sewage treatment facility that's based on outmoded thinking?
Oh, do not wake the sleeping tempests; beneath them Chaos stirs!" wrote the Russian Romantic-era poet Fyodor Tyutchev in Silentium.
You nailed it, tovarich.
Planet Earth hosts two great governing systems: climate and plate tectonics, however poetically disguised. We are careless interveners in the first, helpless bystanders in the second; but they connect frequently in our imaginations, long cultural narratives and literature. Installed in us—call it Hell and be done with it—is the certain intuition that some subterranean cataclysm-in-the-making has humanity's name on it. Maybe our mineral skeleton ("I know it in my bones," we say) transmits this sunken probability to our brains. It's possible that this knowledge makes us fatalistic, and it may explain why the shrug is both expressive body language and code for "Whatever."
I wonder: Is majordomo Alfred thinking of global warming or the cauldron below, or both, when he says to Bruce (Batman) Wayne: "Some men just want to see the world burn?"
"Think globally, act locally," goes that quotable piece of environmental desiderata. Here in Victoria, the exemplar is Dockside Green in Victoria West which thinks globally, acts locally and has attracted attention from a sizeable world-wide community of green building advocates and urbanists. To balance the ledger, we sin globally by flushing our sewage into the wide ocean. "No more!" said the province a few years ago, deaf to grumpy local claims that the ocean does a good job of dispersing the human mess ("the ocean's natural flushing action" has been the phrase-of-choice of the no-treatment crowd); and since then the CRD, charged with responsibility for coming up with a wastewater treatment plan, has been busy, uh, coming up with a wastewater treatment plan.
In one of those exquisite and unplanned twists of counterpoise, Dockside Green's unique approach to wastewater and the CRD's emerging wastewater treatment plan expose a gorgeous ideological collision between fully conscious, world-nurturing ecological practice and business-as-usual (in which liquid waste is a bother, not a renewable; an expense, not a process); or, if you will, between the past that got us here and the future we need. Rather than plough directly into the heart of this story, I'd like to take you via the scenic route.
On May 10th of this year (a date we may all have reason to remember) The New York Times published a news story entitled "Heat-Trapping Gas Passes Milestone, Raising Fears." Monitoring equipment at Mauna Loa, Hawaii just recorded levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in excess of 400 parts per million. The Times piece notes:
The best available evidence suggests the amount of the gas in the air has not been this high for at least three million years, before humans evolved, and scientists believe the rise portends large changes in the climate and the level of the sea.
"It symbolizes that so far we have failed miserably in tackling this problem," said Pieter P. Tans, who runs the monitoring program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that reported the new reading.
Ralph Keeling, who runs another monitoring program at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, said a continuing rise could be catastrophic. "It means we are quickly losing the possibility of keeping the climate below what people thought were tolerable thresholds," he said.
No doubt, you're familiar with the Einstein aphorism, visible on just about everything except fortune cookie slips or embossed toilet paper: "We can't solve today's problems with the same thinking we used to create them," often reduced to "We can't solve today's problems with yesterday's ideas." Wouldn't it be even more revealing to say "We can't solve today's problems with today's people?"
We all dinosaur out. I can less understand or manage new technology every day. I don't know what the hell the young people are talking about. More of my thinking seems fusty, brittle, dated. My parents went through the same thing. They found novelty harder and harder to mediate and less able to pivot, did what we all do: they dug in, shrunk their world and clung to what they knew—not just their habits and practices but values, too.
We become our ruts.
Of course, things are jumping (just ask the weather scientists at Mauna Loa) and if the fizz of looming catastrophe is required to get us out of our ruts and provoke fresh thinking and innovation, reality clearly is up to the task. Right on time, global warming, extreme weather, changes to ocean ecology and other emerging signs of human-induced stress are raising essential questions about our engineering-driven approach to the human project. Now, suspect practices in energy sourcing and resource use, styles of consumption, and even the waste of waste itself, have lengthening moral shadows.
I had the opportunity to witness a remarkably speedy evolution within the short span of the seven Gaining Ground urban sustainability conferences that I initiated in Victoria, Vancouver and Calgary between 2005 and 2011. I saw the audience morph from a cohort of horrified, helpless handwringers who felt they were staring at the abyss into empowered, ecologically informed practitioners—a promising marker, some of us thought, imagining that this new cadre would lose no time setting things right environmentally.
I can recall former Premier Gordon Campbell rapt at a presentation by techno-futurist Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog) at one of the Vancouver Gaining Ground conferences, as Brand laid out the case for seeding the cloud canopy using sulphate aerosols to counter global warming with global dimming.
You could be excused for catching in this a whiff of Plan B resignation. "Resilience" and "adaptation" are the brave, new words in the policy lexicon, possibly because nobody's yet willing to scream, "Head for the hills!" In a world now measuring 400 ppm of CO2, do you need a more tragic or ironic living image than Bill McKibben, heroic founder of 350.org? Just three short years ago I walked with him in Claremont, California. He was so hopeful. Now he must be wondering if he should bother pasting a 4 over the 3, or just wait for 5.
In the real world, politicians are technical subject matter neophytes, heavily dependent on (and swayed by) the recommendations of their professional staff, and these engineering bureaucrats and their consultants are not proponents of audacious, disruptive thinking, but creatures of exigency and the status quo—pressure, that is, to come up with a workable response in a fixed time-frame.
In fact, an overlooked part of the equation is that engineers' errors and omissions liability itself makes the profession innovation-averse and dismissive of "starry-eyed" solutions…tomorrow's thinking, in other words—a perfect prescription for yesterday's tried-and-true, not tomorrow's fix. Last word you're ever going to hear from a municipal engineer: "Eureka!" Sorry, Einstein.
When Dockside Green—the now world-famous LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Platinum development across the Blue Bridge—was being undertaken in 2006, one of its bold environmental features was on-site wastewater treatment. If you've visited Dockside Green, those decorative ponds in front of the harbour-facing townhouses are the final 'polishing' stage of the wastewater treatment process.
To win CRD engineering approval and to opt out of regional wastewater fees, Dockside Green had to turn somersaults to prove that its on-site system was capable of treating wastewater to CRD standards.
Lest you imagine that Dockside Green's achievements have been a cause for universal celebration, on August 14, 2012, fascinating correspondence passed from Patrick Lucey, senior aquatic ecologist and president of Victoria-based Aqua-Tex Scientific Consulting, to Jack Hull, core area director of the CRD Wastewater Treatment Program. Referring to a meeting with senior CRD staff, provincial ministry officials and others, Lucey notes to Hull: "You made a number of comments regarding the efficacy of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) at Dockside Green; in particular that the WWTP was non-compliant for extended periods of time vis-à-vis its Operating Certificate, resulting in poor plant performance. You further expressed the opinion that given the extended non-compliance periods of plant performance (months) this raised significant concerns within CRD staff regarding the use of decentralized WWTP as a potential design consideration for managing sewage within the Region." [My italics.]
Lucey's letter goes on to note that, in fact, there was a single day of non-compliance, for administrative, not performance, reasons. He adds that Dockside Green's wastewater facility has met all water quality conditions as per the Operating Certificate. It has failed to be compliant with a condition requiring daily water quality testing only because the laboratory specified by the CRD itself in the Operating Certificate is closed on the weekends; but that Dockside Green has passed all water quality tests during its entire operating life (now about seven years) during weekday testing, and that it is reasonable to assume that weekend tests would have shown the same positive results. Why would it be so reflex for Hull to discredit rather than celebrate (and attempt to emulate) Dockside Green's wastewater treatment accomplishments?
When Chris Corps talks, he plays all the voices. He's a natural non-fiction storyteller. Corps, a land economist and valuation consultant, brings formidable forensic skills to spreadsheet analysis, and can turn "Total Stabilized Capital Cost Comparison" into a spellbinder. I haven't met anyone better able to untangle and illuminate the idea that capital investment choices have ecological impacts and consequences for the energy future...in fact, the future at-large.
He has numerous questions about, and issues with, the proposed CRD wastewater treatment program, many of whose planning details and $782 million cost (Corps believes the true cost easily will be double that number) have become public lately as a result of the CRD's clumsy and unpopular property acquisitions in Esquimalt.
What jumps out in flashing neon from Corps' math is that the current average annual Dockside Green costs per door for wastewater services are $362.71. The CRD states that with its new plan, regional per-door costs will be $309.86—more proof, you think cynically, that green costs more. But Corps points to a single fact: The CRD omits two-thirds of the cost—63.3 percent, exactly—on the quiet premise that this amount is being contributed by the province and the feds. Were regional taxpayers directly responsible for repaying true capital costs, they would quickly realize that the CRD wastewater system is $495 million—almost half a billion—more expensive than it appears, and that taxpayers would be paying $682.98 a door on a full-cost basis.
Corps summarizes the real math this way:
Corps shows me a video of a miniature system at work, then World Bank policy and best practices, then an engineering textbook noting that the biological outputs are over 2,000 times better than the CRD's proposed approach, and last a short video documenting change of practice in Sweden. First thing Sweden did was to fire the entire engineering department. As to the CRD, Corps finishes, "They don't know how to do it, and they hate counting or saving money. Confuses them terribly."
Clive Hamilton, author of the recent Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering, wrote an opinion piece entitled "Geoengineering: Our Last Hope, or a False Promise?" It ran in The New York Times on May 26, two weeks after the news from Mauna Loa. Hamilton observes:
Geoengineering—the deliberate, large-scale intervention in the climate system to counter global warming or offset some of its effects—may enable humanity to mobilize its technological power to seize control of the planet's climate system, and regulate it in perpetuity.
But is it wise to try to play God with the climate? For all its allure, a geoengineered Plan B may lead us into an impossible morass.
Engineering the climate is intuitively appealing to a powerful strand of Western technological thought that sees no ethical or other obstacle to total domination of nature.
In an emerging new condition of limits, everything's become precious: arable land, potable water, fresh air, clean food. There's a kind of wisdom just bubbling to the surface now, struggling to make itself broadly, publicly understood: that it's not the last straw that breaks the camel's back, but all the straws before it, too. Care to wager on the location and timing of the last flush?

Crop Circles, or agriglyphs as they are increasingly called, are, with few exceptions, created at night, with conditions only being right for easy viewing between early April and late September. The 'force' that often accompanies them can have a buzzing electronic sound or a loud roar, though sometimes completely silent. It might come from the sky, the earth, or both, or neither! Much is still to be discovered about this strange phenomena. They are frequently seen near ancient monuments, and some native Americans say they are ancient symbols sent to re-awaken mankind and raise our vibrations for the great. Visiting 'crop circle country' is like opening a wonderful present – there are so many different designs. Sometimes it is hard to see exactly what form the glyph has taken unless one has the advantage of seeing an aerial shot beforehand. People entering crop circles experience a variety of physical and mental sensations. A number of causes have been put forward to account for these effects, including earth magnetism, and energy leylines. From 1991 onewards the glyphs took the form of more obvious symbols. One of the more famous agriglyphs from that era was a representation of the Mandelbrot set, a complex mathematical object involved with postulations concerning chaos theory, infinite dimensions and the suchlike. Could it be that the creators of this glyph are asking us to consider the fine line between chaos and order? Crop circles appear to have a telepathic effect too. In the case of the aerial phenomenon the viewer is drawn to look at the UFO. In many eye witness accounts, unidentified flying objects have been seen either before, during or after a crop circle has been formed.
Have your own crop circle experience! There will be time to visit some of the new crop circles in the area - there are usually a few to choose from for those who are really fascinated by this mystery.
The Wiltshire Crop Circles Conference may take place over the weekend and will cost an extra £100 + accommodation approx. This full, 2-day programme includes lectures on the phenomenon, helicopter rides, crop circle visits as well as fascinating talks from acknowledged experts in the field (so to speak!).
TOUR 2. The Sacred South West: Exploring the St Mary/Michael Line This tour of Devon and Cornwall takes place immediately afterwards so can make a lovely extended tour, or a mini-tour in its own right.
"A spiritual awakening occurs as we journey as Pilgrims in an awakened consciousness through this idyllic landscape of ceremonial power sites. As we travel as one we activate the Divine Feminine wherever we are led..."
Dartmoor is the largest wilderness of Southern England, with its rocky tors, fossilised Bronze Age villages, Stone Age hut circles, and stone rows. We visit Dartmoor and some of its attractive villages such as Widecombe-in-the-Moor, an ancient 'Clapper Bridge', and Brentor's 13th century church. We also visit the Hurlers and Merry Maidens stone circles along with a full day at St. Michael's Mount, all of which are on the St Michael Line.
Dear Sandra, Excellent, lovely retreat. Well done Sandra - your fortitude and patience amaze me!" Patricia
Dear Sandra, Fantastic weekend - beautiful group always helping each other. Sandra, you are a true inspiration giving time to everyone." Eleanor

After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," Peter replied, "you know I love you."
"Then feed my lambs," Jesus told him.
Jesus repeated the question: "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
"Yes, Lord," Peter said, "you know I love you."
"Then take care of my sheep," Jesus said.
A third time he asked him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, "Lord, you know everything.
You know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Then feed my sheep.
Today we begin another three-part devotion which occurs during "breakfast on the beach" with Jesus. The "interview" in our Scripture today was probably conducted in front of the other six disciples. Remember that before the crucifixion, Peter had pledged his never-ending love and loyalty to Jesus. Then, Peter denies Jesus three times. This subject has not yet been discussed since it occurred. Peter and Jesus have had no conversation regarding Peter's "change of heart" towards Jesus, which was caused by immense fear. It is significant that Jesus addresses Peter (the rock) by his old name. When Jesus speaks to Peter, He calls him "Simon, son of John." Remember that Jesus changed Simon's name to "Peter" and proclaimed, "Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Notice also, that John, in his narration about the first-person interview of Peter by Jesus, refers to Simon, the son of John, as Peter. So, the way Jesus speaks to Peter, is as important as what He says. Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him. Peter responds the same way most of us would to the question. Peter says, "Yes Lord, you know I love you." There is a reason Jesus is asking the question. Peter's denial of Jesus was uncharacteristic of his normal behavior. I must confess that there have been times in my life when Jesus has said to me, "Dave, do you love me?" It would be well for all of us to think about something before we answer. Why is Jesus asking? Isn't it obvious that we love Him? We don't want to hear this, but apparently not! Peter's actions did not reflect a "love" for Jesus. Peter acted like everyone else that yelled "crucify Him," and at the most awkward time. Peter did not set out that day to deny Jesus. Peter did not wake up in the morning and say, "Today is a good day to deny Jesus!" Peter gave in to the power of the "dark side" and went along with the crowd's popular opinion. Peter denied Jesus, not once, but three times. Sound familiar? We do it all the time. Often when God needs us most, we deny that we even know Him. When asked to clarify our position, as Peter was, we deny again and again. We are afraid that the world will recognize us as one of His followers. As we all know, the world is not kind to God's people. If you are not careful, the world will "crucify" you for standing with Jesus. Feel bad that there was only one disciple at the cross with the two Mary's. Ask yourself where you stand when the "crucifixions" for God come into your life. Are you at the cross, standing for Jesus, or will you deny Him three times? Whatever your answer is today, there is good news. We can be restored, like Peter. Be prepared to be questioned by Jesus. Don't get frustrated, as Peter did, when Jesus repeats Himself three or more times. After all, we created the denial scenario all on our own. You must look at Jesus and say, "Jesus, you know I love You," as many times as necessary. In this case be glad, because it is "Once, twice, three times our Restoration!"

INTRODUCING: GHOST OF YOU (Brno, Czech Republic)
Words by Nathan
Captivating voice takes you into the dark corners of psychedelic pop where you meet the ghosts of your former selves. The music of Ghost of You is hard to categorize – as a band with strong electronic overtones, they shift smoothly between various elements within the running time of one song. Hailing from the Moravian capital Brno, these four ambitious lads aim high while maintaining close tights to their local scene.
Tom Novohradský, Michal Janík, Štěpán Pařízek
Even if they occasionally angered a fan or two because their sets weren't that long at the time. Their reasoning was that they want to keep the audience's attention for the entire duration. "We want to make sure people get the most of it", Michal explains in the student documentary Ledovec ve městě (Glacier in the city). Director Václav Mach accompanied the band for several months and captured the excitement of recording of their first album, their victory in a young bands competition which brought them a slot at the Sziget festival in Hungary and the journey to Banát, a Czech village in Romania which hosts a music festival every year.
In terms of sound, Ghost of You blend post-rock with elements of psychedelia. They take inspiration from a whole spectrum of genres and are not afraid to experiment and twist a variety of elements to their own liking. Their sound often evolves into unexpected directions within the running time of one track. The range is from goosebump inducing softness to ecstatic drum pounding and shrieking vocals.
For their second album, they teamed up with Onřej Ježek again but the approach was different. They brought ideas and sketches into the studio which then grew into songs on the spot, material for the first album had been written in advance. According to the band, Black Yoga is a confrontation with our demons, with the bad side that dwells in each of us. It is a bad habit you repeat, a mistake made over and over again. It's the moment when morning breaks through after a long night, daylight floods the dancefloor but the party still goes on.
The work that's been done in the three-year gap in between the albums is audible on Black Yoga. Four individuals have grown into a functioning organism and importantly, they didn't lose their appetite for experimenting. Black Yoga is somehow sexier – the tracks are smoother and more likely to get stuck in your head. For me, it also threw new light onto Glacier and the city which made me come back to it again and again.
It's refreshing to see a band radiating confidence and taking their music seriously. For too long that hasn't been the standard in the Czech Republic, but these guys are proof that the times are a'changing.
Europe is easy to travel but her cultures are hard to access if you don't speak respective national languages. On similar grounds, it is not easy for musicians to reach listeners beyond their country of origin. Even if they sing in nearly-perfect English, there might not be anyone writing about them in the global language. Visions of Zhiva is a zine presenting artists from Central Europe.
Who is Zhiva? Zhiva is the anglicised spelling of the name Živa (also Živena, Siwa). The Slavic goddess of life and fertility was worshipped in the region of today's Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia before the arrival of Christianity.

Get to know some of our dynamic Ellermann family.
Diane, Founder & Creative Director
Most likely to be found…Travelling around Asia, working on exciting projects or finding new ideas and inspirations. When I'm in Hong Kong, you'll find me brainstorming with my team (most likely with a piece of chocolate and a coffee in my hand) or working on floral proposals and designs.
Favourite flower… It's like naming a favourite child – it would break both mine and their heart! But if I'd have to pick (what a bad mother!) I'd say I really admire Iris. I find they hold their heads up with pride and have an almost regal appearance while remaining humble, never fighting for attention.
Favourite Ellermann moment… Every time I hear our team members talk passionately about Ellermann and how it feels like a family and how working here inspires and fulfils them. It makes me very happy and proud.
Maggie, Principal Florist
Favourite part of my job… I love every part of my job, but if I really have to pick one part, I would say it's when I'm working on a flower arrangement. That's when I feel a true sense of calmness within myself.
Favourite flower… All flowers are my friend! I have a different favourite for every occasion or gifting purpose.
Favourite flower moment… Way back when Ellermann first started, Diane, myself and a group of our team worked our first event with over 100 tables. It's just a really memorable, happy memory!
Last time I gave someone flowers…I can't remember! Rather than gifting flowers, I am usually the one who receives them! :)
Stephanie, Marketing Manager
Favourite part of my job… Brainstorming creative ideas – whether it bedirection for a campaign shoot or venue set-ups for workshops.
Favourite flower… Iris because it always reminds me of my best friend of the same name!
Did you know… I am a Sentō (Japanese public bathhouse)addict. I always have a small towel and shower gel ready in my bag when travelling to Japan so I can pop in any random bathhouse around the city and enjoy!
Last time I gave someone flowers… My mum. I gave her a bunch of purple flowers on a random Friday. I just wanted to surprise her and it worked perfectly.
Flora, Floral Manager
Favourite part of my job… Seeing happy faces when customers recieve their flowers.
Did you know… Despite my age, I've still don't feel old. I credit flowers for keeping me positive and open minded.
Favourite Ellermann moment… Every time we receive flowers with new colours or textures. Each is like receiving another surprising gift fromthe nature!
Last time I gave someone flowers… It was for a welcominggift, when Stephanie and Kathrene joined our Ellermann family.
Nicole, Project Florist
Most likely to be found working on… Every bits andpieces of a florists' routine work, creative proposals for events, weddings, projects, and shooting social media photography.
Favourite flowers… Hellebore, scabiosa and chocolate cosmo.
Did you know… I love planning my travel around flowers and visiting local flower markets… and creating arrangements for the hosts who let me sleep on their couch as a gift!
Favourite Ellermann moment… When I first stepped into Ellermann's atelier in the summer of 2015 and realised it was a special place. I felt like I belonged, unlike everywhere else.
New, Driver
Favourite part of my job… Planning floral installations and arrangements for weddings, private dinners and galas.
Did you know… I've worked in different industries but I've always had a huge passion for cooking.
Favourite Ellermann moment… Surprising the team with a homemade birthday cake.
Last time I gave someone flowers… I gave my wife a bunch of hand-picked wild flowers on Valentine's Day.
Louise, Florist
Most likely to be found working on… Floral design and bespoke bouquets for our Lane Crawford exclusive orders.
Favourite flower… Each flower has its own natural beauty and I basically love all of them, no matter the size, texture or colour.
Did you know… My career path twisted to floral design at the age of 36, which is when I started as a junior florist in a local flower shop. It was a huge change for me, and I am very happy and proud of myself for being brave enough to achieve what I really wanted to do.
Last time I gave someone flowers… It was last Valentine'sDay, when I gave my boyfriend a hand-tied bouquet.
Yan, Florist
Most likely to be found working on… Bouquets from Ellermann's current collection and bespoke orders. Sometimes I work with the team for events too.
Favourite part of my job… Creatingbeautiful flower arrangement makes me really happy. Especially when I have room to test new combinations.
Did you know… I am a big foodie and I am very keen on trying new dishes or restaurants.

About the Program
To offer a generalist master's program based on an interdisciplinary approach to international sustainable development. The aim is to build upon shared expertise in the Department of Development and Sustainability (DDS) and offering an academic program that has a broader scope than current academic offerings, which are very specialized. A broader and less specialized program will be especially attractive to institutions looking for managers with a broad knowledge of development issues, and candidates who may not want to narrow their academic and research skills but rather get a broader understanding of development issues in the region.
The program also responds to the needs for capacity building regarding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Asian region and beyond in ways these other programs do not since the concept of sustainability calls for expertise in both the environmental and social dimensions of long-term development.
Application now open
for August 2019 Semester
Why Study in the DS program
The main aim of the program is to target development managers and practitioners who need a broader understanding of development issues, and a more interdisciplinary learning experience, than the current program offerings allow.
More specifically, a broader program in Development and Sustainability would be appealing to government employees and managers, international organizations, NGOs and private research institutions, as well as academics working in development studies.
Coursework and Research
The DS program currently offers a Master of Science (thesis or research study options) and a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD).
The course credit requirements for each program are as follows:

* Gender and Development Studies (GDS), Natural Resources Management (NRM), Regional and Rural Development Planning (RRDP) and Urban Environmental Management (UEM).
** Including Disaster Preparedness, Mitigation and Management (DPMM) and other courses in SERD. This requires consultation with the student's advisor.
Courses offered in the department tend to use a practical approach to learning. This includes lab and team work and exercises, group presentations, seminars and discussions, and field trips. We also offer the possibility of taking an internship (usually with international organizations or NGOs) which can provide up to 3 credits of coursework equivalent. Finally, there are several opportunities for student exchange programs.
For the master's degree, research work for the thesis option normally requires one year, while research work in the research study option requires 4 to 6 months. The research study option requires 38 credits of coursework while the thesis option requires 26 credits of coursework. The thesis option is usually intended for those who will pursue careers in research work or continue towards doctoral studies.
Research Opportunity
Students can conduct their research work under the supervision of any faculty member from the four core programs (GDS, NRM, RRDP, UEM). A thesis or research study advisor will be selected based on the proposed topic of research and the related expertise of faculty members
Research proposals should include a development-related problematic and address either
(or both) social and environmental components of sustainability

13 different countries recently gathered together, including the IdHAIR Educators and Distributors, for the IdHAIR International Conference and the official launch of the NEW IdHAIR Elements Xclusive range.
About The Event
The conference and launch of the new, incredible range that focuses on recycled plastic, took place at the IdHAIR Headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark (where the brand was founded in 1986) and was a fantastic weekend where all the countries got together to share their thoughts on the new products and information on how they use them in their country to provide inspiration and ideas for everyone to take back home and share. Founder of IdHAIR, Preben Munch Kjaergaard and Garth Sliufko, Owner of IdHAIR UK also attended the two-day event.
The First Day
On the first day of the conference, the IdHAIR International Art Team delivered to the sales team, providing them with information on the products and what they do and on the second day, a show was put on to demonstrate looks from the new 'IdHAIR Look Book', which contains how-to's using the new IdHAIR Elements Xclusive products. All attendees were able to get a feel for the products over the two days.
The Second Day
Each country had a section of the room with a mannequin head and 4/5 different products they used to create a look on the mannequin where teams could walk round and see the looks and what products were used to create them. Each country showed something different and used different products.
An Inspirational Opportunity
Lesley Stitt, IdHAIR Educator, commented, "The weekend was great fun and allowed everyone to get to know a lot more about the new IdHAIR Elements Xclusive products, what they have to offer and how amazing they are and the ranges benefits and how it is unique to other hair products hairdressers have at the moment. It was also great to have all the countries together in one place, we are like a big family at IdHAIR and it was great to be able to bounce all of our ideas off each other and show how we use the products in our home towns to create different gorgeous looks and to get inspiration from the different countries to take home to our teams.

Best Medicare Plans in Oregon
If you have been eligible for disability for at least 24 months, then you are probably eligible for Medicare in Oregon. Likewise, if you are going to be turning 65 soon, then it's almost time for you to sign up for Medicare in Oregon. In either scenario, if you are going to become one of the Medicare beneficiaries in Oregon sometime soon, you should probably try to learn more about Original Medicare insurance. Luckily, you can find a complete description of benefits online before enrolling in Medicare coverage so that you will know what will and will not be covered in regards to your health care costs.
Overview of Medicare in Oregon
Medicare Part A is the first part of Original Medicare insurance that you should sign up for. This form of Oregon Medicare insurance is your hospital insurance, and it will help with hospice care coverage and inpatient hospital costs. Most beneficiaries of this part of Oregon Medicare insurance don't have to pay a premium.
You will have to pay a Medicare Part B premium for Medicare Part B. Medicare Part B is medical insurance, and it's designed to help with out-of-pocket costs at a skilled nursing facility, doctor's office and more.
There are also Medicare plans in Oregon that you can sign up for if you'd like more benefits that what is offered by Original Medicare insurance. If you'd like to sign up for one of these plans in addition to Medicare in Oregon, then we can help. For example, you can check out the Medicare Supplement plans comparison chart here on our site to compare the different plans. You can also use our website or talk to one of our licensed insurance agents to get Medicare Supplement plan quotes.
Enrollment Statistics for Medicare in Oregon
If you're interested in learning more about Medicare in Oregon and about the Medicare beneficiaries in Oregon, check out these interesting stats:
- In 2018, there were 856,072 Oregon beneficiaries of Medicare.
- In the same year, there were 371,483 Oregon beneficiaries of Medicare Advantage.
Best Types of Medicare Plans in Oregon
You may want to enhance your Oregon Medicare benefits, and there are luckily a few different types of Medicare plans in Oregon that you can choose from. These are the plan options that you might want to look into to enhance your Oregon Medicare benefits:
- Medicare Supplement Plans in Oregon – Medicare Supplement insurance plans, which are also known as Medigap plans, help cover the deductibles, copayments (copays) and coinsurance that aren't paid for by Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you are enrolled in Original Medicare Part A and Part B, you can look into the 10 different Supplement plans that are available. These Medicare plans in Oregon are the same from insurance company to insurance company. Therefore, once you decide which lettered plan you want, you can compare rates from company to company without having to compare each individual plan. Some plans are affordable cost-sharing plans, and some offer more coverage when you need to go to a doctor's office or nursing home, so take the time to really look at your options.
- Medicare Advantage Plans – Advantage plans, which are also known as Medicare Part C, are available with different rates. Some plans don't even have monthly premiums. Coverage sometimes includes things like wellness perks, dental coverage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. You may have service area restrictions, meaning that you will have to stick to a certain provider network. This is the case with preferred provider organization (PPO) or HMO plans. It is not the case with some other Advantage plans, though, such as PFFS plans.
- Medicare Prescription Drug Plans – Part D – You probably don't want to pay more for your medication than you have to, and you probably want to avoid the Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty, which might apply if you don't sign up during your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period. You don't have to buy from the same company that you buy your Medicare health plan from, either; instead you can pick a stand-alone plan from another company with top star ratings on the rating system — such as Aetna, Cigna, or Mutual of Omaha — if it offers lower rates on the Part D plan that you're interested in.
- Special Needs Plans – An SNP is a plan for beneficiaries who are Medicare eligible in Oregon and who have certain, serious health conditions.
Oregon Medicare Resources
As a Medicare beneficiary, it's best to learn more about the Medicare program. You may also want to look into any low-income programs that you might qualify for. It's best to check out these resources, contact your local Social Security Office, use our site and call and talk to one of our licensed insurance agents if you need more help. Then, you can find out about all of the extra help that might be available in your area.

Think You Know Baseball?
Think Again.
The Red Sox finally won a World Series, in a triumph of unconventional wisdom. They rethought the batting order and committed to Johnny Damon as lead-off. Saw the talent in David Ortiz that other teams overlooked. Had the courage to trade one of the game 's top shortstops for the good of the team. They knocked over the sacred cows of RBIs, sacrifice bunts, the hit-and-run, and hewed to the new thinking about pitch count allowing Pedro Martinez, arguably baseball 's best pitcher ever, to excel. Weaving statistics, narrative, personalities, and anecdote, "Mind Game" reveals exactly how this group of idiots, led by Theo Epstein and Terry Francona, was in fact the smartest team in the league, and revolutionizes the thinking fan 's understanding of how baseball games are "really" won and lost.

1845 Bradford Views of the MoonMoonViews-bradford-1845
1845 Bradford Views of the MoonMoonViews-bradford-1845
A set of four incredible views of the moon in four different phases.
1845 (undated) 11.5 x 9.75 in (29.21 x 24.765 cm)
These views were engraved by John Wykeham Archer and published in Duncan Bradford's The Wonders of the Heavens… in 1845.
John Wykeham Archer (1808 - May 25, 1864) was a British writer, artist, and engraver. Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in 1820 Bradford moved to London where he studied with John Scott, a noted engraver of animals. Scott, however, fell ill, which forced Bradford's apprenticeship to be cut short and he decided to return to Newcastle. While in Newcastle, Bradford collaborated with William Collard on a series of large plates of Fountains Abbey based on drawings by John Wilson Carmichael. Bradford also produced several plates on his own for Mackenzie's History of Durham. After a short time in Edinburgh, Bradford returned to London in 1830 and entered the studio of the engravers William and Edward Finden. After a few years, however, the market for the kind of work done by the Findens declined, and Bradford found work engraving plates for the New Sporting Magazine. At some point Bradford was elected as a member of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, he began creating work in this vein, including a series of drawings of St. Mary Overy, before its restoration. Soon, Bradford had amassed a more than one hundred drawings of London antiquities and offered them to the British Museum, which declined the collection. Nonetheless, he successfully sold them to William Twopenny, who also commissioned Bradford to continue making twenty more similar drawings each year. The British Museum then acquired the entire collection from Twopenny's estate in 1874. Archer also created drawings for wood engravings that were published in the Illustrated London News and several other publications. He was also a regular contributor to the Gentleman's Magazine. Bradford also claimed that he had revived the practice of engraving monumental brasses, and even produced several monuments of this type from his own designs. He also painted a few works in oil over the course of his career.

Beach Cleaning - Kayakers Call To Arms
Press release from NOMAD Sea Kayaking to BBC Radio Suffolk, Anglian Television, BBC Look East and East Anglian Daily Times
A group of keen kayakers is calling on helpers to take part in a Suffolk beach clean this Saturday.
The idea is not only to clear up debris which is abandoned or washed up on Shingle Street's remote stretch of coastline but also highlight the waste which is dumped in our seas for the Marine Conservation Society Beachwatch programme by surveying all that we collect.
It has been planned by NOMAD Sea Kayaking, which runs sea kayaking training sessions and trips in Suffolk, Essex and Dorset.
Becky MacInnes-Clark, who is sales manager of the outdoor adventure organisation, said: "We are a family-run company which has been going for 13 years and have always run beach cleans on every beach we land on… always leaving them cleaner than when we found them.
"On the last weekend we landed on the beach at Shingle Street we removed six bin bags of rubbish and debris from a very small area."
The rubbish collected at the Site of Special Scientific Interest included everything from medical and fishing waste to sanitary waste, bottle tops and general litter.
"I have even found two kettles, high-vis jackets, work gloves… a real array of stuff that just shouldn't be anywhere near our beaches," said Becky.
The event is open to all, but the NOMAD team, which is based at Ipswich Waterfront is particularly keen to invite the local community as well as fishermen to join in. Equipment will be provided with chocolate brownies at the end as a small reward for volunteers.
Becky said: "We want to support the local economy by bringing people to the beautiful coastline of Suffolk.
"We don't want to land on dirty beaches so we are encouraging anyone we can to join us!"
The beach clean kicks off at 2.30pm on Saturday (14th July) with volunteers asked to meet at Shingle Street Car Park by the Coastguard Cottages, which is accessed through Hollesley Village. IP12 3BE

This is the last post of the I Love Me Series. Meet Tara. I secretly call her my "fit-blog" twin. This beauty started her weight loss journey a little while back and with all the turns of events happening in her quite so busy life she manages to stay positive through it all. She blogs about the thoughts we're all thinking as we enter the gym & the truths of this weight-loss world while managing to keep a positive and inspirational tone to her post! She was perfect for this interview!
Ice Breaker:
Name: Tara
Occupation:Currently looking for a new job. Also a student, studying Graphic Design & Marketing.
Your Passion: I love love love home décor & being crafty. I'm also pretty passionate about my blog/weight loss journey.
Random Fact: I'm realllllllllllly scared of bugs.
Do you think you have great self-esteem?
I'm definitely working on it. For someone who's very overweight at the moment, I think I do "okay" with self-esteem but I'm still very aware of what others think about me and I let my weight hold me back from a lot. When I was a more average weight, I possessed quite a bit more self esteem but still didn't let it shine through. Right now, I'm working on finding the things I love about myself and letting any and all talents peak their heads out. It's not all about looks.
What do you think is the most attractive thing about you?
Non-Physically: I think I'm funny and in general, pretty kind.
Physically: I love my eyes and most of the time, hair.
Quick! You're having an ugly day but you have a long day ahead of you. What would you do to snap out of it? Remind myself that there's always someone who has it worse and tell myself to be thankful.
Share one tip to the readers who are trying to work on their self-confidence:
Love yourself. Take care of your body. Treat self-confidence like it's a plant and tend to it every day. It will grow everyday if you take care of yourself.
Yetti's Comments: Really loved the last quote! It's kind of hard to be patient with all types of progress. I've learned through the last couple weeks, whether its dealing with weight-loss, break-ups, the working world or yes, my self esteem, you have to take it day by day!
Readers Questions: What do you do to tend to your plant (goals) on a daily basis?0

When a child item from a RadTreeView is selected and then the selection is changed to any of the parents of this item, the FocusVisual (the dotted border) stays on the child item. Available in LIB version: 2016.1.21
Subscribing for the touch event ahndling in OnApplyTemplate might cause mermmory leaks or misfunction. Example - TreeView is first RadTabItem of TabControl. After several tabs pressing, the touch will not work - it is unregistered on Unloaded but it is not registered second time because OnApplyTemplate does not fire second time.
Users often need to customize only the Content of the TreeViewDragVisual. The built-in logic for displaying Drop Target Template (Drop Inside X, Drop after Y) is well accepted. However, there is no easy way to customize the Content of the DragVisual only , preserving the built in logic. If you create entirely new DragVisual much more code is needed to set up all scenarios. Will be available in Q2 2015 Release.
ArgumentException is thrown when TreeView becomes visible on a touch device
When we drag and drop an Item of the RadTreeView out of the tree, the VisualState of the item stays mouse over. Even if we click or drag other items, the only way to reset the VisualState of the item is to mouse over it. This can be observed in Silverlight's Theming demo. =============== Resolution: The issue can be easily solved by setting telerik:TreeViewSettings.DragDropExecutionMode="New". This will be the default setting in future releases.

Brooklyn is a visiting train from the USA. He's always eager to try something new and loves seeing Ernie and his friends on the Underground.
Fun and energetic, Brooklyn loves trying new things. Straight-talking and kind, Brooklyn can sometimes be a bit overzealous and it can lead to trouble, such as when he pushed his friend Rocky too hard, and when his suggestion of changing lines caused confusion. His taste in art also differs to the other trains, who prefer more traditional art as opposed to his modern art. No matter what, he's always on hand to apologise and help to make things right again.
Brooklyn is painted silver and decorated with stars and stripes on his carriage. On the side he has the Statue of Liberty painted on, along with the word USA. He wears a baseball cap with stars on it.
- He and Paris are the only international trains to appear more then once, unlike Sydney, Osaka, and Moscow.

iPhone 8 Release Date and more
The iPhone 8 will become Apple's new Smartphone as part of its 10-year anniversary since the first, set for September 2017. However, various reports claim this could be much later, while in limited quantity.
Only 3-4 million are believed to be shipped once released, meaning it will be difficult to get your hands on this. This blog will explain the rumoured iPhone 8 Release Date as well as the Specifications and more.
Rumoured, not confirmed Specification:
- 5.8-inch OLED edge-to-edge display.
- 'All-glass' construction as part of a new design.
- Dimensions of 71x143x7.4mm.
- Wireless charging support.
- Apple A11 chip with iOS 11.
- Rear-facing Touch ID sensor.
- Face-scanning technology.
- Support for LTE speeds up to 450Mbps.
The screen is thought to feature technology that allows a fingerprint scanner under the screen rather than a rear-mounted sensor. This has been an issue with some Samsung phones with complaints from users.
The handset is also tipped to be a water resistant design that was introduced with the iPhone 7. However, this might be increased to a more watertight and waterproof construction.
iPhone 8 Speculated price:
The iPhone 7 Plus also looks to range from £700-£950 depending on storage and colour. However, the iPhone 8 will then reach the range of £900 plus due to the technology.

Barnstable, MA (January 2019) – Cape Cod Culinary Incubator (CCCI) has been awarded an Urban Agenda Grant by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in a ceremony last week presided over by Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito.

"Fanny Burney's first novel, Evelina, was the chick-lit novel of 1778—all about a young girl's adventures in London and one of the best of its kind ever written."
"It was whose favorite book? Jane Austen? Oh, maybe I should check it out!" We agree!
Originally published in 1778, Evelina is Frances Burney's first and most beloved novel. It was a landmark in the development of the novel of manners and went on to influence such enduringly popular authors as Jane Austen.
By turns hilarious and grim, witty and lyrical, the story follows young Evelina as she leaves the seclusion of her country home and enters into late eighteenth-century London society.
Orson Scott Card has been a lifelong fan of this book and, luckily for us, his lovely daughter, Emily Rankin, not only grew up with an appreciation for the literature but is also a wildly talented narrator in her own right. She was perfectly poised to bring her own flair to the project. Add a great director like Claire Bloom to the mix and a little help from Skyboat's Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle de Cuir, and Orson Scott Card himself, and you've got an audiobook that we hope will be enjoyed through the generations. So pick up your copy today and pass it on!

Do you own a small business? Is accounting & bookkeeping one of the biggest worries about your business? Well, not anymore. With the help of accounting and financial reporting experts you can outsource the accounting needs of your business and get CFO services. While you take care of the executive responsibility, the individuals most adept at managing accounts and records will ensure that you have all the relevant accounting records maintained and you have all the financial information necessary to assist you in the decision making process.
It is important to realize the importance of properly recording assets, liabilities, expenses, revenues and equity transactions of your business. CFO consultants consider the nature and timing of revenues and match them with the expenses for the relevant periods to ensure that the profit or loss reported in the statement of profit and loss is accurate and reflects the actual state of the affairs of your company. Recording accounts payable and receivables correctly and maintaining their proper records is also necessary in order to make sure that you do not miss your financial obligations as they fall due. Likewise, the proper management of accounts receivable and timely collection of revenue will improve your business cash cycle and result in good business growth.
With the help of CFO consultants you can get all the accounting services for your small business including:
- Recording and bookkeeping of assets according to the economic benefits provided by them and as required by your regulatory environment
- Raising liabilities whenever there is an obligation or a probable obligation to pay or whenever any event might result in future outflow of economic resources from the business
- Managing your equity and preparing the statement of changes in equity to keep the proper record of how much capital you have injected in your business
- Calculation of financial ratios and their interpretation that will help you identify the weak areas. Including calculation of return on your investment, effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the utilization of assets, business performance and solvency.
- Account payable and receivable bookkeeping.
- Maintaining cash flows and keeping the timing of cash outflows consistent with the cash funds available.
- Timely preparation of accounting and financial statements of your business.
CFO consultants are aware of all major accounting software and they can also help you in transferring your accounting records from one information system to another. If you want to have control over the business transactions and outsource small business accounting services to third party accountants CFO services can come in really handy.

This set of instructions on how to make a Diamond kite assumes you know absolutely nothing about kite making. You might already have some of the simple tools and materials required.
Anything you don't have is easily bought. If not exactly what I used, then at least something pretty similar!
The Dowel Diamond is a fairly large tail-less kite, inspired by
the famous Eddy design. However, it will still fit into nearly all road vehicles, ready to fly. Either just in front of the rear seat, or flat in the trunk (boot).
This design is a great very-light to light wind flier.
Setting up on the flying field is just a matter of attaching the bow-line toggle to put some curve into the horizontal spar. Then the flying line is attached to the bridle.
At this point you are ready to launch! The method of attachment is illustrated further down this page.
Making The MBK Dowel Diamond Kite is one of my handy e-books of printable step-by-step instructions. It's a PDF file download.
I have chosen to make '1 Dowel Length' equal to 120cm for every kite in
the Dowel series. If you are in North America, 48" of 3/16" dowel is
close enough to 120cm of 5mm dowel. This will result in a kite with
similar flying characteristics to my original.
Like to see a video clip? Just scroll down to near the end...
Now's the time to read up on the kite making tools and materials required for making a Dowel Diamond, if you haven't already.
The template shown above represents one side of the kite sail. You will now transfer these measurements to the sail plastic as follows... (You will notice that the photos show a slightly different shape - but stick to the Template measurements!)
When doing the following, most of the width of the tape should be inside the kite's outline.
Try my Making The MBK Dowel Diamond Kite PDF, if you prefer to work offline or from printouts. A little more convenient than working from live Web pages, you might find :-)
I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. Each kite is capable of flying hundreds of feet up for hours on end.
Could you do me just a small favor though?
Please sign up for my free monthly publication, "Tethered Flying". No other emails will be sent, and your details are safe with me. You need to be at least 16 years old. There's...

Amsterdam has more cars than parking spaces, which forces the city to maintain a very strict parking policy. If you're visiting Amsterdam by car, make sure that you know where you may and may not park and make sure you pay your fees. Find out more about parking locations, fees and P+R car parks in Amsterdam.
Parking in Amsterdam
In Amsterdam, you can park along the streets and canals, or in one of the parking garages. However, be aware that the fees charged are not the same everywhere. Where parking in some areas costs just €1.50 per hour, it can be as expensive as €5 per hour in the centre. Payment can usually be made by PIN or credit card, but the specific available options vary per machine. Failing to pay can net you a hefty fine or even result in your car being towed, so be careful!
On Sundays and holidays, parking on the street is free, except in the Centrum and Zuidoost areas and the NDSM terrain in Amsterdam Noord. On King's Day, parking is free throughout all of Amsterdam, but considering the extreme crowds we strongly recommend that you travel by public transport.
P+R (park and ride)
Looking for cheap parking? In that case, use one of the P+R car parks in and around the city, from which you can easily and quickly travel to the city centre by public transport. You can pay for the trip using an OV chip card, or a P+R GVB card, which is available from the blue P+R machines. When going to pay for your parking, show your OV chip card or P+R GVB card for an amended P+R fee. P+R car parks usually have day rates and hourly rates.
Amsterdam has various P+R car parks, such as P+R Zeeburg or P+R Olympisch Stadion. For more addresses and information about parking in Amsterdam, inquire at your lodgings or with the local VVV tourist office.

When I decided to give my site the title "The Fourth Question" I did some research to see if there was anything else published with the same title. I discovered a Chinese folk tale for children called "The Fourth Question." when I read it I was amazed at the correlation between the lesson of this Chinese children's tale and the model of leadership I am putting forward for your consideration on this site.
The story is about a Chinese worker, Yee-Lee, who wonders why he is still poor after he has worked hard all his life. This question troubles him so much he decides to go on a quest to find the answer. He goes on a journey to Kun-Lun Mountain to seek the answer from a holy man who lives there. On the way to the holy man Yee-Lee meets three other people who ask him to get answers to their questions from the holy man.
When he gets there the holy man will only answer three of his four questions. Yee-Lee has to decide which will be the fourth question and, thus, remain unanswered. He decides to ask the questions entrusted to him by his three new friends. He puts aside his own question and places their interests above his own. As he travels home he visits each of his friends and delivers the answers to their questions. He is richly rewarded for his troubles. He even finds love and marries the daughter of one of his fellow seekers.
The message behind the story is – by putting the interests of others before his own, to the point of believing he had given up any chance he had of getting an answer to his own question, Yee-Lee is rewarded and no longer has any need to get an answer to his question. It is a story which illustrates the cognitive, moral dilemma and the rewards, of putting others before yourself.
I was very excited when I came across this book. The story in it provides a great introduction to the Fourth Question model of leadership. At its core this model proposes that by continually seeking to meet the needs of others leaders will find their organizational and personal goals not only met, but exceeded.

How to get to your hotel from Madrid-Barajas AirportBooking your airport transport in advance online
Booking your airport transport online in advance of your trip enables you to travel from Madrid-Barajas airport directly to the door of your hotel.
The online booked transfers listed below are not public transport operated services - which means they continue to run even if there is a public transport strike.
If you don't speak Spanish, and you are unfamiliar with Madrid, arranging your transport in advance will give you peace of mind and save you the trouble of working out the route yourself. You can either book a private transfer or a shared transfer.
Private transfer (online booking only)
A private transfer means that the vehicle that you have will be dedicated for you and your party only. The driver will be waiting for you at your arrivals gate with a sign with your name on it. Your driver will assist you with your luggage and take you to a private air conditioned vehicle to take you directly to your hotel. We have provided a booking link below.
Minibus transfer (online booking only)
A minibus option is cheaper than the private transfer and the vehicle is shared amongst other travellers. Unlike a private transfer the driver will not be waiting for you at the arrivals gate you would need to make your way to a meeting point.
Follow the link below to book either your private transfer or minibus transfer online.
Book your airport to hotel transfer in advance online.
