correspondence with BBC
Dear 5G concerned,
I have received a weak response from the BBC and have written the below reply with the help of information from another 5G campaigner. The BBC will no doubt just send a copy and paste answer stating that they "have not breached any regulations" after which I will have no right of reply…
So now it is up to you to write/call in and complain:
BBC Complaints online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/
Complaints Telephone Line: Tel. 0370 010 0222
BBC Five Live text line: 85058
Five Live really needs to get many text messages on this as they have allowed someone on air spouting all kinds of nonsense about 5G – without counter balance – but never had a serious discussion about its potential Health or Environmental effects. A text is quick so I ask you all to at least do this: 85058
Many thanks from the 5G Rebel 🙂
Dear BBC,
Thank you for your prompt reply to my complaint about lack of coverage of the Health- and Environmental concerns regarding 5G technology. I am afraid that my complaint remains.
You state that you "understand that I feel there has not been enough coverage on the potentially harmful effects of 5G Wireless technology." I do not just feel this way. It is a fact:
The BBC website shows 15 articles relating to Huawei and 5G dated between 1st and 18th February.
However, no coverage at all has been given to the Health or Environmental impact of 5G, in spite of members of the public having called in to radio programmes and submitted information to the BBC on several occasions.
This is not simply a matter of "editorial decisions", it is clear bias. Nor is it simply a matter of "not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover". It is a clear breach in duty of care where the Public are not informed of the potentially very harmful consequences of 5G wireless technology. A technology which hitherto has been one-sidedly lauded on the BBC. For, apart from a number of articles on security concerns, there has been nothing on the potential biological effects from pulsed millimeter radiation which soon will be coming to people from close proximity. My question is why?
In order to resolve this bias, the BBC ought to immediately provide an equivalent level of coverage across its TV, Website and Radio on the health and environmental concerns relating to 5G. As a start, coverage should include the appeal by doctors and scientists calling for an urgent moratorium on 5G http://www.5gappeal.eu/scientists-and-doctors-warn-of…/. Coverage should also include commentary from appropriately qualified experts in the field, for example, one of the listed signatories to the appeal and finally commence the serious debate that this topic deserves.
NB: If the lack in objectivity is not rectified within the near future I will not hesitate to take this further. The lack of serious and comprehensive coverage of a technology that will affect many lives in the near future is a clear breach in the neutrality that the BBC prides itself on and its duty to inform the Public of the seriousness of the issues beggars belief.
I expect a proper and comprehensive reply to this email, not a copy and paste affair where you simply state that you have't breached any regulations. This issue will not go away and I ask you to look into it anew – from all angles.
Thank you in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Tanja Katarina Rebel

Dear Mrs Rebel
Reference CAS-5323796-5MDQ18
Thanks for getting touch with us about Radio 5 Live and our News coverage.
I understand you feel there has not been enough coverage on the potentially harmful effects of 5G Wireless technology.
We know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, or the order in which they appear. Our news editors make these complex decisions, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand. We accept that not everyone will agree with each decision – various factors are at play and there's often debate in the newsroom too.
Editorial decisions are more of a judgement call, than an exact science – so you'll even find variety from one BBC programme to the next.
We appreciate the feedback that our audience give us when it's felt a story has been overlooked, it too can inform our on-going work. Suggestions for other stories to consider can be made here:
Furthermore, we appreciate that fact you tried to phone in and contribute to the programme. However, since there is such a large volume of people trying to ring in to 5 Live breakfast there is no guarantee that your call will be put on air.
Nevertheless, we do value your feedback. All complaints are sent to senior management and in this case the Radio 5 Live team every morning, and I included your points in our overnight report of audience feedback.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your concerns have been sent by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.
Thanks, once again for getting in touch with us.
Kind regards
Conor Walsh
BBC Complaints Team

Dear BBC,
For months, I have emailed, texted and called the BBC – in particular BBC Five Live – regarding the serious Health and Environmental Concerns about 5G Wireless Technology expressed by thousands of scientists across the Globe. Despite this, there has not been any serious coverage about these concerns. Instead, programmes such as Bottom Line on Radio Four talk about the technical advantages of 5G, whilst not linking it to the biological effects. This morning, Radio Five Live Breakfast allowed a man on air spouting his venom about the "hum kum" on Social Media with regards to 5G and how it all was nonsense. I immediately called in to point out that many concerns about 5G come from serious scientists who have published peer-reviewed studies, many of which I have sent to the BBC, and how this deserves to be aired. However, I was not allowed on air and this gentleman's words were never contested.
To say that this is biased would be an understatement. What's more, it is bad journalism. I wonder whether anyone at the BBC has seriously looked into the links that I have emailed in? One of them is a petition to the UN, WHO and all the Governments of the world for a Moratorium on 5G in Space and on Earth, signed by over 40:000 people and over a thousand scientists. It has links to hundreds of studies on the subject.
The BBC has a duty to inform the Public of 5G potential Health and Environmental effects, but until now it has seriously breached this duty.I therefore kindly ask the BBC once again to look into this issue as a matter of urgency, to make the studies known to the Public and to link any coverage of 5G, whether it be technical or concerned with security, to the potential biological effects which scientists have repeatedly raised. 5G is not just technical, financial or linked to security, it is also linked to Public Health, the Environment AND Human Rights. A 5G roll-out without Due Diligence or Public Consultation will entail 24/7 mandatory radiation and thus constitute a Crime against Humanity.
I am looking forward to a speedy reply,
Yours sincerely,
Tanja Katarina Rebel

Our Mission is Simple:
-Inspire Drug Innovation
-Provide Manufacturing Transparency
-Deliver The World's Best Liquid Capsule Filling Machine
|The RoboLQ Lab Liquid Capsule filling machine is the gold standard for formulating and filling your capsule products. The RoboLQ Lab is an affordable solution to automate your capsule filling process, from separation to filling. Our easy to use RoboDose software stores ratio specific formulas, tracks machine efficiency and saves all batch information to optimize your company's product production. Using and 8 channel dosing unit, The RoboLQ Lab carefully and accurately fills 8 capsules at a time, maximizing the number of capsules filled per hour. This simple yet powerful liquid capsule-filling machine has an output capacity of 4,000 capsules per hour and is the perfect tool to help streamline and automate your capsule production.
|Keeping your fill material in a homogeneous state can be difficult to accomplish; The RoboLQ Blend uses peristaltic technology to create a perpetual state of agitation for your fill material. This results in dosage consistency and prevents separation and sediment of your fill material. Agitation between filling cycles is accomplished by constant flow of the product, to and from the on/off bed reservoirs. The RoboLQ Blend is the perfect solution for producers who compound multiple active and inactive ingredients.
|In many cases both raw oils and excipients may be too thick to flow through traditional capsule filling systems. The RoboLQ Thermal is a heated capsule-filling machine that reduces viscosity issues when filling extra thick oils. Our proprietary thermal convection technology produces a gentle and consistent heat throughout the machine, reducing the viscosity of your fill material and accelerating the filling process. For producers who choose to keep their product free of any carrier oils, the RoboLQ Thermal is the ideal choice to produce a flowable product.
|Achieve true homogeneity of your fill material with RoboLQ Tornado; A magnetic forced based agitation causes the fill material to spin in its reservoir at all times while it travels through its infinity loop, even between filling cycles. Inspired by the RoboLQ Thermal model, this upgraded model is perfect for heavy powder suspensions. We highly recommend this model for alternative applications such as tincture bottle filling.
RoboLQ meets the highest quality control and precision standards. We manufacture to TUV Rhineland Standards and conform to ISO: 9001 standards for quality control and ISO: 8555-6 for dispense ACCURACY.
Formula Builder
RoboDose AI driven algorithms automate and simplify the formulation process.

Doctors get into the business to save lives, but there's also the matter of paying off student loans from medical school. And it turns out physician salaries are not equal across geographic regions.
Internal medicine doctors in San Francisco make on average $225,000 a year. If they really wanted to bring in the big bucks, they might consider packing for rural Nevada County — population 98,200 — where the average salary is $256,000, the highest in all of California. The statewide average pay for internal medicine doctors is $220,000.
These data were released Tuesday by Doximity, a San Mateo-based network that allows doctors to communicate with each other and says that more than half of all U.S. physicians have signed up. Its new tool, Career Navigator, is an interactive map that can zoom in on county-level salary information for 48 specialties, based on anonymously shared data from more than 18,000 verified physicians. (The service is only available to physicians that have joined Doximity, but the network pulled some statistics for the Chronicle.)
The map reveals some interesting trends. For example, rural physicians enjoy an average of $1,500 more in annual salary compared to urban areas, for the reason that fewer doctors want to live in the country. Physicians in private practices make $28,000 more than those working in academic or government institutions. And when a new specialist sets up shop in a town of 100,000 people, the other specialists in that town then make $1,500 less per year.
Certain specialties pay more than others, too. Compensation for emergency medicine physicians is highest in Texas, Florida and Minnesota — and lowest in Massachusetts, New York and California. Based on job listings, the most in-demand specialties are emergency medicine, family medicine, occupational medicine and psychiatry.
"Medical school teaches the science of medicine, but not the business of medicine," said Jeff Tangney, CEO and founder of Doximity, in a statement. "Our hope is that this up-to-date, local market data helps physicians level the playing field with HR departments in evaluating their opportunities."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a user?
A user is any person who uses the software. In our pricing plans, we have three different categories of users. The first is a full user. This could be an administrator, scorecard admin, or editor. The second is an update-only user. This type of user is only available to Enterprise Plan customers. Third is the view-only user, or browser. You can have a limited number of view-only users in our Professional Plan, and an unlimited number in the Enterprise Plan.
Do I need to buy services?
For our Basic Plan, no services are included, but you are required to purchase onboarding. For the Professional Plan and Enterprise Plan, onboarding is included. You have the option to purchase additional services as needed. We want you to get started on the right foot with your reporting efforts, so think about what would make you most successful from the start. It is usually much easier to be successful with some of your information already setup in ClearPoint and then some training by a passionate professional.
Are there any overage or hidden fees?
No. ClearPoint costs are tied to the number of users and the level of support that you request. You will not see additional fees for scorecards, objectives, measures, emails, document storage, printing, reminders, or notifications. If you need more users or support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Do I need to pay for a year up front?
Yes. ClearPoint contracts are billed annually by default. We've found that customers who can commit to a full year of using ClearPoint will be more successful with their reporting efforts in the long run. And since your long-term success is our goal, we want to encourage those practices that support that goal. Bottom line: Annual contracts make happier ClearPoint customers. And we want you to be happy.
What's "See It Live"?
ClearPoint in action, as soon as possible. If you want to see ClearPoint in action and have your initial questions about our tool answered, choose a time that works for you to talk to our team. They're ready to talk if you want to talk today. You'll get a quick demo. If it's a good fit, we'll set you up with a custom demo for your team or a free trial.
Can I have a free trial?
Yes! If you're interested in a free trial, sign up for a quick introduction to ClearPoint through See It Live. If it seems like ClearPoint might work for your organization, you'll get a full version of the Professional Plan for 15 days. We also provide Premium Support so that you can message us from within the application to get your questions answered. If you like the software, you will be able to purchase it with your work still in it. You get the full experience of the depth and breadth of the ClearPoint software, so you know exactly what you're getting when you become a ClearPoint customer.
What is Premium Support?
All clients receive access to Basic Support which includes all of the articles and videos in our support center and email support. You can email us, and we promise to get back to you in one business day. For Premium Support, you get a faster email response time (promise of four hours, but we try for less than an hour), you can call us on the phone, and you can use in-app messaging, which means you can reach us right when you need us.
What about Training?
We offer on-premise and remote training. We believe that users will learn ClearPoint quickly and easily by working with one of our professional trainers. We conduct 2-hour end user training sessions and 3-hour administrator training sessions. We can combine these sessions to create a custom training day for different individuals in your organization. Check with us and design a program that will ensure your success.
Do you have government pricing?
We sure do. If you are with a United States federal, state, or local government organization, and you can purchase off of GSA, then we do have GSA pricing under schedule 70. Our number is GS-35F-0610X. Please reach out to us directly for additional questions about GSA pricing.
Can I customize my plan?
We built the plans based on the standard price and then gave a generous "plan discount." You can add things to the plan like additional users or Premium Support, but you cannot remove features from a plan. You can also add services like training and setup. The goal of the plan is to ensure that you have the right tools to be successful. We are happy to talk to you about your individual circumstance and learn more about what your path to success looks like.

To program this project I used two programs: Processing and Arduino.
I wrote a code to create a color spectrum that when clicked it would print the RGB of the color clicked.
This code told the ardunio pro mini where to pull the RGB of the color to display.
Step 3: Soldering the Parts and Pieces
- Solder the PowerBoost 1000 Basic to the Arduino Pro Mini
- 5V from PowerBoost goes to Raw on Pro Mini
- GND from PowerBoost goes to GND on Pro Mini
- Solder the Bluefruit EZ-Link to Arduino Pro Mini
- RX from EZ-Link goes to TX on Pro Mini
- TX from EZ-Link goes to RX on Pro Mini
- VIN from EZ-Link goes to VCC on Pro Mini
- GND from EZ-Link goes to GND on Pro Mini
- Solder pins into the six end placeholders on Arduino Pro Mini for connection to
- Solder NeoPixels to Arduino Pro Mini
- GND from NeoPixels goes to GND on Pro Mini (you will have to have multiple GND wires attached)
- Din from NeoPixels goes to number on Pro Mini
- 5V from NeoPixels goes to VCC on Pro Mini (you will have to have multiple wires attached to VCC)
- Cut NeoPixels into strips that fit leather band length and solder together with extra wires
- Use bondic to glue extra strip of leather between the two bands to have a thick enough band
- use bondic to glue the completed electronics assembly to the bands
Step 4: Connecting to Bluefruit
Following these instructions connect your powered Bluefruit EZ-Link to your computer to wirelessly control your NeoPixels' colors. Click Here
Step 5: Docorate
Add a piece of cloth over the top, while leaving access to the USB port for charging, to complete this project.
Add beads to the cloth before attaching to reflect the light.

Always interesting to see who appears on the front cover of the Playfair Cricket Annual. It's a bit of a poisoned chalice, based upon a player's form in the previous season. As such, they usually fail spectacularly in the next summer. This year's victim is Ian Bell.
Expect one or all of the following: loss of form; chronic and/or career-threatening injury days before the opening Test; other chronic things; tabloid exposure (unlikely in this case) and/or does/has a Thorpe; dropped in place of Mark Butcher; dropped in place of Ashley Giles who is promoted to No.3 as reverse-pinch-hitter. Or, worst of all, he launches a book in an attempt to dethrone Jamie Oliver, entitled Cooking like the Shermanator.
It fails – he fails – and Frindall starts plotting the downfall of 2008′s incumbent.
Pre-order it now for a puny £3.99 (released April 5 2007).

Stacy McCain has another wonderful takedown of a shrill, fat feminist (her own words. "Fat," I mean — "shrill" is redundant, but some half-remembered rule of composition made me put it in there. By the way, did you know that the collective noun for a group of liberals is "shriek"? A murder of crows, a shriek of liberals. But I digress). Anyway, he's said it all about her, much better than I can. I just want to add a tangential comment:
This is what happens when you eliminate adolescence.
Mrzx. Toal writes
It's hard because when you grow up fat, you grow up believing that you're not ever going to be attractive to anyone. You don't even do this on purpose — the world does it for you. For me, they did it through fat jokes on Friends, fat jokes on Will & Grace, fat jokes on every single sitcom, ever, headlines on my mother's Cosmo and Self telling me (I wasn't supposed to be looking at them, but whatever) both that my sexuality only mattered as long as it was relevant to men and that being fat automatically made my sexuality irrelevant to men, "No Fat Chicks" bumper stickers, bullying in school, and rampant self-hatred and body-shaming in my family. I don't think I ever had any agency in deciding whether or not I thought I was attractive until college. I just sort of knew, because the world knew, that I wasn't. I was fat. How could I be?
Kiddo, I hate to break it to you, but this is normal. Yes, when you're 15, being sexually attractive to the opposite sex pretty much is the only thing that matters, because — pay attention, this is important — you lack the maturity, the understanding, the very conceptual toolkit to evaluate people any other way.
I was 15 long ago and far away, but I'm pretty sure that if you'd asked me back then where I would be now, in middle age, I'd say something like "getting ready to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but needing to put on the ugly jacket in space, because I'd be deep into my second career as an astronaut." That's normal, too, as are the ever-shifting identities — each of them The REAL You — you put on and off as easily as their characteristic uniforms. Again, this was back in the Jurassic, but I'm pretty sure I was at least six different things my sophomore year: A jock, a nerd, a preppie, a burnout, a goth, and a skater. I'm probably forgetting a few.
It's only modern times where we think everyone must have everything figured out by the time xhzhe hits 14. It's awful, because it eliminates the possibility of change. As McCain points out, all this gal needed to do was one simple exercise: The pushaway. As in, push your ass away from the dinner table before taking seconds. But that would entail personal responsibility, and when you've been made what you are by 14 — and nothing can ever change, not ever, until Society itself changes — what's the point?Loading Likes...

What has been referred to as a radar is an appealing way of describing a conditioned response, or conditioned reflex, to a limited extent. The conditioned response is slightly different, but it is worth mentioning now.
A Russian investigator, Pavlov, many years ago noticed that dogs in the laboratory drooled saliva when the man in charge of feeding them made an appearance. The association of saliva with the man was not a "natural" response, although the saliva would be thought of as flowing "naturally" at the sight of food.
Pavlov went to work on the dogs and found that they could be trained to secrete saliva if a bell were rung every time they were given food. After many such repetitions, he rang the bell without giving the food. Sure enough, the saliva flowed. He reasoned that the bell conditioned the dogs because it had become closely associated over certain nerve pathways with the idea of food.
This was only the beginning of thousands of experiments to understand the conditioning process better. It soon became apparent that cats, rats, pigeons, and other animals could be conditioned to respond to "unnatural" stimuli. Soon the concept of conditioning was enlarged to include the reactions of humans, and it was found to apply here as well, but it was also found to be more complicated for advanced behavior.
An extremely large portion of our behavior seems to be conditioned. Going far beyond the simple case of bells and food, we become conditioned to the colors of signal lights, hardly giving a thought to driving cars in keeping with the rules. Finding our way to a new classroom is an example of how the reflexive response is developed. The first time, we must pay close attention to (think of) the name of the building, the number of the room, and the location of an empty seat. As time goes on, with repetitions of the same trip, we have to "think" less and less.
Presently we find the building, make the proper turns in the hallways and go straight to our seats without hesitation. We have become conditioned to the overall pattern of time, distances and directions in relation to our surroundings.
Conditioned reflexes liberate our conscious minds from routine "thinking" about where we are going. Too much reliance upon conditioning is what gives rise to the amusing things that are said to happen to absent-minded professors!
Studying is a process for creating the patterns which, after repetition, can almost become conditioned responses. If given enough practice, we can almost automatically respond to well-known questions with a well-rehearsed answer. This is what happens in word association tests. It also happens in a well-rehearsed play. Setting up the flags beforehand is a kind of conditioning. Some people have no need for repetition in getting the flags in place, while others must go over and over the flag placement and the pathways leading from them to the information.

Trump Dominating Republican Field
Donald Trump is far ahead of his closest challenged for the Republican presidential nomination, according to the latest CNN/ORC poll.
Trump has 36% of registered Republicans in his camp, versus 16% for Sen. Ted Cruz, who has topped former strong number two Ben Carson, who has slipped to 14%.
Sen. Marco Rubio is fourth at 12%. No other candidate is in double digits, or even close, all below 4%--Jeb Bush is at 3%.
The candidates will have one more debate opportunity this year to boost their numbers, a Dec. 15 CNN/Salem Radio debate.

20th Century Fox has released a cast photo (click on the image for a larger version) from the upcoming Alien: Covenant which is the sequel to director Ridley Scott's Prometheus
I personally wasn't a fan of Promethus and felt there was a missed opportunity with the film and it really didn't deliver what fans of the franchised wanted. Now with this film the title it suggests it's more of an Alien movie rather than a direct sequel to Prometheus which I think is a good thing. The cast for Alien: Covenant is also very impressive and includes Katherine Waterston, Amy Seimetz, Demian Bichir, Danny McBride, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo, Billy Crudup, and Michael Fassbender. Fassbender reprises his role as David in the film, but he's playing a new and different android presumably assigned to the Covenant ship. The photo above also confirms that James Franco is in this movie.
Here's the official synopsis for Alien: Covenant:
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
And here is the official trailer
Alien: Covenant is released 19th May 2017

When your President asked me for the title of the address for this evening, I had in mind some ideas which I wished to elaborate and which could be included under the heading, "The rôle of emotion in disease." The title is so comprehensive, however, that I must set definite limits to the parts of the subject to be considered. This can be done by use of a method time-honored in the history of medicine—the statement and exposition of aphorisms. There are ten of them.

The Blues' classy new defender talks to CityTV....
Aymeric Laporte admits it has been a whirlwind 48 hours after signing from Athletic Bilbao.
"A lot has happened but it has all been very good and I've enjoyed it.
"My first impressions of the Premier League are that I am going to enjoy it and this was a good game to begin with.
"I didn't have much time to settle in and I only knew I was playing late in the day so it has been a busy but enjoyable last few days.
"Everyone has made me feel very welcome and the supporters gave me a great reception so I'm very happy."

Welcome to the Piano from above Wikia
Piano From Above is a free program very similar to Synthesia created in 2010 by Brian Pantano. The purpose of this application is to teach people how to play the piano and to learn with a practice, play, and learn mode. It can run flawlessly regardless of its screen size.
Describe your topic
Piano From Above uses a lightweight note display, making it a lot faster than the popular Synthesia. However, Piano From Above is a bit more complicated to maneuver, but it works well in every way. Like Synthesia, the program utilizes Direct3D, an API from DirectX to generate notes.
This is a popular choice for playing Black MIDIs due to its lightweight graphics display, which means it is able to load and play larger files than a program like Synthesia, which is focused on aesthetics rather than performance.

Zack Wheeler continued his underrated season on Thursday, allowing one run in six innings in a brutal 6-3 loss to the Phillies. The way this year is shaking out for the Mets, who fell to eight games under .500, it's becoming clear that Wheeler's long career with the team is likely winding down.
For weeks, rival GMs have wondered if the Mets will become sellers. The team's recent play has begun to answer that question for Brodie Van Wagenen.
If the Mets don't turn their season around immediately, they'll have to field inquiries on Wheeler and Todd Frazier, both free agents at the end of the year. Wheeler's performance between now and July 31 will, of course, influence his value.
If Wheeler pitches inconsistently and the Mets don't receive palatable offers, the bet here is that they will hold him and extend a qualifying offer at the end of the season, then get a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Once Wheeler hits the open market, teams like the Yankees, Braves and Brewers will create stiff competition for his services. He will be one of the top free agent starters on the market.
If the Mets decide to trade Wheeler in-season, they will find a willing suitor across town.
"The Yankees love him," said one MLB source, reiterating what we've heard several times over the past few weeks.
Still, the Yanks won't even entertain trading the available Clint Frazier for Wheeler or any other rental. It's likely that Wheeler could fetch a prospect or two from a team's top 15. Perhaps the Mets will seize that opportunity, or perhaps they will see more value in a compensatory pick.
Financially, Wheeler would be well-served by a trade. Players traded during the season are not eligible to receive qualifying offers, adding to their free agent value.
Wheeler, 29, became a Met in 2011, when Sandy Alderson acquired him from San Francisco for Carlos Beltran. It was the first big move of the Alderson era, initiating a rebuild that ended with the Mets winning the 2015 National League pennant and 2016 Wild Card.
An injured Wheeler missed both of those playoff runs, but returned to establish himself as a high-end starter. Interested teams understand that his stuff and peripherals tell a far more accurate story than his 4.51 ERA.

Employees have many avenues to air their grievances. It's therefore important for businesses to understand the rights their employees have.
Deciding what to pay employees who receive tips
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires restaurant owners to pay tipped employees at least $2.13 per hour in wages. The employer can then take a tip credit for differences between wages paid and minimum wage requirements.

Introduction and Gratitude
The "iAct Dialogues for Sustainability" are interactive, global webinars that inspire intergenerational discussion and collaboration on sustainable planetary futures. Sustainability Leaders Network, Earth Charter International and the IUCN Task Force on Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability organized a series of webinars in conjunction with the IUCN World Parks Congress (12-19 November 2014 in Sydney, Australia).
Many thanks are due to the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) Young Professionals Group and the iAct Working Group who jointly developed the content and discussion questions for this final webinar in the IUCN WPC series. In addition to speakers Elaine Hsiao of the United States and Rebecca Koss of Australia, WCPA Young Professional Sudeep Jana of Nepal also helped shape this event. Furthermore, the 30 people who participated in the Pre-World Parks Congress Young Professionals Capacity Development Workshop in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney deserve a big round of applause for creating "Our Pact for Parks, People and Planet."
People of all ages from around the world were invited to participate for free. Funding that was secured by the World Commission on Protected Areas Young Professionals through an IUCN/UNDP/GEF grant and in-kind support made this webinar sereis possible, in addition to the above capacity building event in Australia.
Our Post-Congress Webinar: "Activating 'Our Pact for Parks, People and Planet:' A Legacy of the IUCN World Parks Congress" was held on Thursday, 29 January 2015. This webinar sought to raise awareness about Our Pact, inspire action and generate ideas for sharing it widely across geographies and generations! Presentations by Elaine Hsiao of the United States and Rebecca Koss of Australia were followed by an engaging discussion on a set of carefully designed questions. Information on participants, speakers, links to video footage and a discussion summary are below, plus a webinar evaluation by participants.

Group Discussion
Our interactive group discussion focused on four questions:
1. When you read the Pact, what resonates with you the most? Which parts inspire you to take action?
Participants highlighted how the Pact emphasizes the connection to people and nature and went on to described how they are inspired by specific Pact commitments. Additional points included starting with Pact commitments we feel empowered to realize and increasing the role of youth in decision-making processes.
2. The Pact includes multiple commitments. How would you go about fulfilling some of these commitments?
The discussion starting broadly, recognizing that the work Our Pact calls for is immense and challenging. At the same time, participants shared ideas on specific starting points and encouraged the celebration of successes along the way. Ideas for fulfilling Pact commitments included empowering youth to take on decision-making roles, synchronizing decentralized actions around the world, leveraging funding and increasing publicity.
3. We want to create a larger movement of people of all ages who sign and apply the Pact. Who do you know who would be inspired by reading the Pact? Which other groups should we share the Pact with?
Participants indicated that they want to share the Pact with numerous organizations and networks both within and outside of the conservation community. Ideas were discussed on how to go beyond civil society and academia to engage the public and private sectors.
4. What are some creative and effective ways in which we can share the Pact and encourage others to join?
Participants agreed that sharing the Pact requires a sound communications strategy as well as a toolkit for applying the Pact in different sectors. It was also suggested to expand upon the WCPA Young Professionals Group to form a Pact Secretariat for coordinating communication and outreach.
This document offers a more detailed summary and clustering of the above discussions:

Is there still a place for utopian thinking in the twenty-first century? In this research paper, Eleanor Courtemanche (University of Illinois) looks back at the construction of utopia in the Victorian period, and asks how it might inform us about progressive and visionary political thinking today. Join us on 16th May, 14.00, in the Tristram Room, St John's College.
Fredric Jameson famously argues that in postmodern capitalism, the utopian imagination has withered; it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of the capitalist system. This imaginative poverty became even more pressing after the Great Crash in 2008, when it became clear how difficult it was to envision any alternative to the policies of austerity. In this situation, the hunt for utopian alternatives leads us backward, to the great wave of Victorian utopias, as much as toward the future. These hopeful stories, written between 1880 and 1910 (including Looking Backward, News from Nowhere, A Modern Utopia, and Old-New Land) envisioned audacious solutions to pressing social problems — to class warfare, mass poverty, mechanized labor, the marginal status of women and Jews. In fact, these utopias successfully predicted many things that came to pass, including universal education, social security, health, and accident insurance, and women in the workplace. In this talk I will describe some of the aesthetic, historical, political, and disciplinary barriers to recovering the progressive politics of these utopian works, balancing a historicist approach with what the V21 Collective manifesto has identified as the new "strategic presentism" in Victorian studies.
This event is co-organised between the Department of English Studies and the Centre for Nineteenth-Century Studies.
