Welcome to New Era Solar Solutions
Our Motto: To improve the quality of life on earth by the use of clean and natural sunlight available in abundance
Renewable Energy Sources such as Solar, Wind are clean & environmentally benign. Solar Energy has huge potential for harnessing power among all sources of renewable energy. "Solar Energy is the future". India receives 5000 Trillion kw of solar energy on its land mass. A small fraction of the energy incident is sufficient to produce solar electricity which is nearly four times the present installed capacity. Solar Energy could either be converted using solar collectors into thermal energy for heating water, cooking food or producing electricity. Alternately, it could be directly converted into electricity using solar panels. The Green electricity thus produced can either be fed directly into the Electric Grid or used in off grid mode at any location during day or night.

I stumbled upon this mosque while walking through the city and could do nothing but admire its beauty from across the busy street. The sunlight that cut the minaret in half made even this simplest of mosques seem a powerful and proud representant of the Islam. The Islamic crescent at the top, the small bulb underneath and the two balconies around the tower made for an instantly recognizable shape that I found quite marvellous. I knew why this struck so much more of a chord than a church would do, as I live in a secular country where churches are much more common and where I had grown accustomed to them. I wondered whether the mosque would grow less beautiful every time I saw it. Or every time I saw a more beautiful mosque. If I saw the most beautiful mosques from all over the world, what would the mosque above still mean? Would I still look up to it? Probably not, as Beauty is said to be fleeting. But is this the case for absolutely everything? Is there not one thing in the world where Beauty is not fleeting, whether it be literature, art, architecture, or something else? And would it not be one of the most noble pursuits in life to try and create something that is of eternal Beauty?
As I was mesmerized by these thoughts, a plastic bag flew against my head. I grumbled and pushed it away with a quick stroke. Here I was, contemplating on Beauty in the midst of a dirty city. Because Alexandria has a problem with garbage. These pictures were taken in the wealthier and thus supposedly cleaner part of the city, close to where I live.
Frankly, for a clean and vain Westerner such as me, this is a sign of a less civilized country. The government, whenever Egypt has one, should set up a thorough and efficient waste management system and should place garbage bins, as they are virtually non-existent right now. Every once in a while I see one or two garbage containers, but if I'm not wearing my smell mask, holding my rat repellent stick and wearing my radioactive suit, I prefer to stay away from those. A good waste collection system would not only make the city a clean place, but would also create jobs, make the city a healthier place to live in and show the Egyptians the joys of a clean city, perhaps sparking a mentality change.
Because there sits the true problem. While I try to hold on to my little Alexandria library ticket as long as possible before guiltily throwing it on the floor in the hope no one has seen, Egyptians have no problem throwing pretty much everything on the ground in plain view. How much better would the city not be if it were cleaner? Suppose one could walk along the Corniche and see the white foam of the Mediterranean Sea instead of white skimmed milk cartons smashing against the rocks? It is something to aim for, although deep within me, I find pleasure in not being restricted by implicit garbage rules and in being able to simply throw my can out of the taxi window. Hehe.

Throwing it away – food losses, food waste and retail responsibility
Good job by FAO on this topic, an extremely important one. 'Global food losses and food waste' is the title of a new report by FAO and it is an eye opener indeed. FAO has said that food waste is "more a problem in industrialised countries, most often caused by both retailers and consumers throwing perfectly edible foodstuffs into the trash". This is true, but only partly.
It is in fact a problem of societies that have industrialised their food handling, processing and retailing systems to the average level that is seen in the OECD economies, and that this problem is therefore as much visible in the urban food consumer markets of say Sao Paulo and Mumbai and Jakarta as it is in North American or west European cities and towns.
The study has shown that per capita waste by consumers is between 95-115 kg a year in Europe and North America, while consumers in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia each throw away only 6-11 kg a year. The 'only' is relative of course. If these averages are mapped to populations and their food wasting habits, then for Bangladesh in 2011 we have a total wastage of 1.275 million tons! What was the total harvest of vegetables in Bangladesh in 2008? It was 1.1 million tons (FAOstat)!
Total per capita food production for human consumption is about 900 kg a year in rich countries, almost twice the 460 kg a year produced in the poorest regions. In developing countries 40% of losses occur at post-harvest and processing levels while in industrialised countries more than 40% of losses happen at retail and consumer levels. Food losses during harvest and in storage translate into lost income for small farmers and into higher prices for poor consumers, said the report. Reducing losses could therefore have an "immediate and significant" impact on their livelihoods and food security.
There are wider connections between food loss + waste and natural resources and energy. Food loss and waste also amount to a major squandering of resources, including water, land, energy, labour and capital and needlessly produce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming and climate change.
What can be done? For a start, selling farm produce closer to consumers, without having to conform to the quality standards of retail markets, is a good suggestion. "This could be achieved through farmers' markets and farm shops" said the report, which is in fact one of the strengths of the Transition movement in the West.
The real problem lies in the retail labyrinth in urban areas, particularly in fast-industrialising Asia. Here, in rather myopic copycat fashion without any learning having taken place, food is wasted due to quality standards that over-emphasise appearance. My guess is that this report will not have reliability of the kind it ought to for India and China, simply because in Asian cities and towns, a large network of scrap vendors (for food too) exists which will place food rejected by the retail markets into channels used by the urban poor, by small roadside eateries and by micro-businesses in the informal food processing industry.
What the study is cler about is that "consumers in rich countries are generally encouraged to buy more food than they need". The 'Buy three, pay for two' promotions are one example, while the oversized ready-to-eat meals produced by the food industry are another. Restaurants frequently offer fixed-price buffets that spur customers to heap their plates. Generally speaking, consumers fail to plan their food purchases properly, the report found. That means they often throw food away when "best-before" dates expired.
There are some useful numbers in here. The study has shown that the per capita food loss in Europe and North-America is 280-300 kg per year. In Sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia it is 120-170 kg per year. The total per capita production of edible parts of food for human consumption is, in Europe and North-America, about 900 kg per year and, in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia, 460 kg per year. Per capita food wasted by consumers in Europe and North-America is 95-115 kg per year, while this figure in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia is 6-11 kg per year. Food waste at consumer level in industrialised countries (222 million tons) is almost as high as the total net food production in sub-Saharan Africa (230 million tons).

Bring back the Pegasus 36!
runeliseliseliserun - 22 Jul 2020
I have run in the Pegasus since the Pegasus 31. I have enjoyed how the shoe is cushiony enough for long runs, yet nimble enough to go fast. However, this is not the case for the new Pegasus 37. It feels much more stiff and bulky, especially in the heel. The heel is so built up that it gets in the way of my stride. I am a forefoot striker, so I prefer shoes with a 8mm drop or less; however, 10mm drop of the Pegasus has not bothered me until the 37. I could not run in them and had to return them. I wish Nike would go back to making a shoe that works for wide variety of runners, including forefoot strikers like me. Bring back the Pegasus 36!
Still Painful After Breaking In
janetall4me - 20 Jul 2020
The Pegasus 37s look great and are comfortable to walk in; however, running was painful. Even after breaking in the shoes through several runs over a few weeks, the forefoot unit was never comfortable nor cushioning enough during long runs to support my running strike. These hurt the ball of my foot whether I used them on the pavement or track. The toe box is also too narrow to compensate for swelling during a run. I will be returning these once my old faithful Vomero 13s arrive.
Perfect fit
MaryZ423739784 - 14 Jul 2020
I have small feet, size 5.5, and was surprised at how well that size fit me in the Pegasus 37. I had none of the problems that others mentioned with heel slippage. I found them more comfortable with a thinner sock. I feel secure in transitions between uphill and downhill, and the comfort so far has lasted for the duration of my runs, which have been between 5 - 6 rolling miles. ( I've only had them a week.) Looking forward to the release of the pink color way!

An Organism and universe
Scientists try to join macro and micro, quanta and relative theory, but, what is our Universe? What is it made? Where is it from? To where will we go to? These questions worried the civilization since then anxiety age, between Greek people, like Socrates, platinum, amativeness and others. Otherwise, the answer for all questions about universe is in Biology either. Our universe was born like a zigotum of a human embryo. Like constantly mitoses, the universe material and energy expand, growing up. Do you remember the odyssey 2001? There is the answer...our universe is part of a macro organism. Black holes are like an epidermis way out...

Just sent in another IRCC update in this morning. Since I'm short on time this morning, ill just post pictures here for now.
I also had a little hiccup with the green velveteen I was planning to use for my overdress. it had been a while since I had looked closely at it, so when I unfolded it the other day I was irked to find that it has that rather obnoxious rubberized backing. SO....made a special shopping trip to the city and I was able to find some rough silk in the exact pale gold as the floss I've been using, but now I need to find a suitable lining for that as the black linen I was planning to use for the green just wont go. I have some ideas, but this hiccup wasn't really budgeted for. Oh well.


text: Duterte has previously cursed journalists for their coverage of the 'war on drugs' [EPA] Manila, Philippines - International and local journalists' groups have strongly condemned online threats made by alleged pro-government supporters to at least two female journalists in the Philippines, urging President Rodrigo Duterte to launch an investigation and penalise the perpetrators. The two Manila-based journalist became targets of social media attacks in recent days, receiving threats of rape and harm to them and their families. They had been reporting on Duterte's anti-drug war, as well as the military operation against the armed group Abu Sayyaf. Since June 30, when Duterte took office, more than 3,500 people have been killed in police operations and by unknown attackers. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) on Tuesday called on Martin Andanar, Duterte's senior spokesperson, to investigate the threats under a special government body, announced by Duterte in July to investigate media killings in the country. "The IFJ expresses serious concerns for the safety of media employees working in the Philippines," the groups said in a statement. "Threats delivered to journalists via social media must be taken seriously by the government and perpetrators must be penalised accordingly so as to ensure the safety of journalists." Philippines' Duterte denies giving death-squad orders Shawn Crispin, senior Southeast Asia representative at Committee to Protect Journalists, told Al Jazeera: "We are increasingly concerned by threats made to journalists, including over social media, for their coverage of the drug war in the Philippines. "Philippine officials, including President Duterte, have jeopardised the security of journalists by accusing them of misrepresenting or being supported by drug lords to critically portray the campaign. "They should immediately cease and desist from such veiled threats and instead work to reveal and punish those who use social media to anonymously threaten journalists." Rodrigo Duterte: Shoot a drug dealer, get a medal In a separate statement, the Philippine journalist group NUJP said that while the media "always welcome engagement, including criticism, from their audience", the threats "have gone beyond legitimate criticism of their professional output to outright threats on their persons". "We will never take any threats, whether of physical harm or to silence us, lightly for we have lost far too many of our colleagues and hardly seen justice for them," NUJP chairman Ryan Rosauro said. The group said it is hoping the special unit formed by Duterte to investigate media killings and other media threats could "prove its worth" in looking into the latest cases. 'Corrupt journalists legitimate targets' The Philippines remains one of the most dangerous countries for practising journalists, with 145 media workers killed since 1990. Duterte, himself, has been known to denounce journalists for their coverage of his drug war. He has previously cursed foreign journalists for their reporting, and has said that corrupt journalists are legitimate targets of assassination. . A self-confessed hitman from Davao, the hometown of Duterte, recently told a Senate committee hearing that the then-mayor had ordered the killing of a radio commentator who was critical of him. Before taking office, Duterte was also quoted as saying that the commentator, Jun Pala, was "a rotten son of a whore", who "deserved" to be killed. But Duterte previously said that he welcomed questions from the media. "I have nothing against you. I am not at liberty to [be] angry at anybody," he said.

People's Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL) Andhra Pradesh unit president Jaya Vindhyala, arrested on charges of "objectionable postings" on Facebook against Tamil Nadu Governor, K. Rosaiah and Chirala MLA, Amanchi Krishna Mohan, was released on bail from the district jail here on Tuesday.
Two sureties
The Additional Munsif Magistrate Shiva Sankara Reddy issued the bail order after she furnished two sureties for Rs. 10,000 each. While granting bail, the magistrate noted that the investigating officer had not produced "screen-shots" of the Facebook comments in support of the complaint and the remand report.
On her release, she left in a car hurriedly accompanied by her supporters fearing arrest in two other cases pending against her in Chirala and Vetapalem in Prakasam district.
The Chirala police picked Ms Vindhyala from her Hyderabad residence, after booking her for offences under section 66 (A) of the Information Technology Act, and IPC section 120(B) (criminal conspiracy).
Prakasam Superintendent of Police K. Raghuram Reddy told The Hindu, "we have written to the Facebook, Yahoomail and the Tata Teleservices to establish that she wrote derogatory remarks and used the data card to post them on her Facebook account.
On getting replies from them, we will file charge sheet in the case.''
Plea turned down
Meanwhile, The AMM court turned down the plea of the Vetapalem police in Ongole division for production transit warrant against Ms. Vindhyala and eight other PUCL members in connection with a case filed based on a complaint from the Chirala MLA on April 15, 2013 under the IPC sections 120(B) and IPC 506 (criminal intimidation).
The trouble for Ms.Vindhyala and other PUCL members started ever-since they released a report of the fact-finding Committee exposing the alleged "'illegal activities" of the Chirala MLA, a close follower of Mr Rosaiah.
Ms. Vindhyala has been named accused in three cases including the one on posting of "objectionable comments" on the social networking site and another case in connection with alleged attempt to murder in Chirala town on a complaint from one Chittibabu. PUCL district President Dudu Vijay Sundar and its district Secretary D. Prakash were named accused in three other cases in the last three months.

There's nothing like the Internet to make the time go by faster, especially when we were looking so forward to the six week ultrasound. I researched information regarding IVF statistics, and it looked like our chances were good that the ultrasound would show something positive. I read about early pregnancy symptoms, and besides a little cramping, our friend was having none of the ones listed. I calculated the exact due date based on the day of conception and came up with November 16th. Being that Dylan was four weeks or so early when he was born (with the help of this same friend), we might be greeting Baby #3 around October 22nd, which would fit right in with our family (remember that all four of us were born on the 22nd.) I also learned in all my world wide web reading that a beta hCG level of 156 (which we had at the 10 day post implantation mark) doesn't necessarily correlate to twins. Levels much less than that have ended with triplets; levels higher than 156 have been seen in singletons. One more baby would be the best for our family, but we wouldn't complain if we had twins (although with the boys exactly eight months apart we have always felt like we already have twins).
I signed up for a weekly email update to give us a heads up about what to expect each week and how the baby is progressing (size, organs, etc.) At week 5 the baby was the size of a sesame seed, so I kept one in my front pocket the entire week. Unfortunately this email update also alerts you to the things that can go wrong ( a lot!), and why it's important to be taking vitamins and folic acid (she is!) and worst of all it lists the diseases and conditions that can start manifesting itself even at this early stage. One can't help but have a mini panic attack upon reading the long list of ailments like Down's Syndrome, spina bifida, and others that I quickly tried to delete without reading. Having a baby is a crap shoot; you just never know. Seems like almost everyone has something wrong with them – you just hope that your own child is perfect. As I am writing this blog entry sitting in one of my favorite cafes, a 60ish man enters and tries to order some coffee to go. His movements are very controlled at first, but then the more he converses and tries to point to items on the menu, the more his gestures become involuntary and jerky. He obviously has some type of tic disorder like Tourette's Syndrome. Please, lord. Anything but that for our baby. Or Down's Syndrome. Or Muscular Dystrophy. Or Cerebral Palsy. I obviously didn't delete the list soon enough.
The daily medications and injections continue, administered by either myself or Alen (depending on who was getting the boys to sleep), and this is not without its own set of problems. The injection sites on our friend's hips are getting increasingly painful, swollen, and irritated. She's walking around like an old woman, can't lay comfortably on her tummy, and is going to bed earlier and earlier. The vaginal suppositories (we don't administer these, thankfully) are somewhat difficult to insert, and they are itchy. That can't be comfortable. Alen (the physician) worries that she's getting too much hormone. She can't eat some of the foods she normally enjoys, and even the water in a store bought water bottle tastes bad.
But she doesn't complain. Not once. She still heads out of the house at 5:30am every morning for work (she is staying with us every night since we need to give her the injection), and she still plays with the boys with her ever-pleasant attitude. I thank her every day for this gift, tell her that she is part of our family forever, and assure her that this is definitely the end of the road in the formation of our family.
As I continue my writing a couple of guys enter with a boy around 1 year old. Obviously together, obviously their adopted son, I can feel from across the café their love for each other and their love for their boy, and it makes me miss Alen and the boys. (They're at an Easter egg hunt in Culver City.) One -year-old boys are so darn cute, and I get so excited for Baby #3. A girl would be incredible in our testerone-laden home, but a boy would be awesome too. And yes, it could be two of either, or one of each. I use a bathroom break as an opportunity to meet the guys and Kai, the precocious 16-month-old son of guy #1 who is in town visiting his brother (guy #2). Oh well, I guess I was feeling brotherly love.
It was so exciting to finally be in the exam room for the six week ultrasound. The whole thing took about three minutes. Our friend's bladder was full which made viewing easier for the doctor. One baby popped up on the monitor almost immediately, with a strong healthy heartbeat. He looked around in every nook and cranny of the uterus for another, but in the end we have one apparently healthy baby, just as we had imagined, and just as we had hoped. Welcome to your 6th week, our little baby, and congratulations. You're no longer a sesame seed. You're a lentil! And right now there's one in my pocket close to my heart.

Credit Interest to Obtain Shares from Employing Corporation
An employee of a joint-stock corporation wanted to deduct interest for a loan in order to purchase shares from her employer as income-related expenses. This was necessary to climb up the ladder of hierarchy one-step further. Upon questioning of the tax office, she argued that she was required by labor contract to obtain shares from her employer that she hoped to be advanced. The Finanzamt considered this expense as related to income from capital and not from gainful employment. The taxpayer wanted to have this expense deducted from her income from capital. After going through all instances, The BFH ruled per judgment of April 5, 2006 (re IX R 111/00 [published on July 12, 2006]), that such expenses are usually related to income from capital.
Credit interest on a loan to finance stocks are usually not related to a profession but to capital income – even if the income is simultaneously important to maintain an employee's position in the company. Something else could be considered if the person were not obtaining any profit from the capital income.
Supposedly, you are asking yourself, why fuss? Deductible expense is deductible if not from one then from another source of income. Pursuant §20 IV EStG you have a tax-free income of € 1,370 (twice as much for married couples). In accordance with §32 a subsection 1 clause 2 no. 1 Income Tax Act you have a tax-free income (after deducting your expenses) of € 7,664 (twice as much for married couples) as an employee.

The countdown is on.
The vast Irish diaspora will be packing their suitcases shortly for the trip home to the Emerald Isle for their Christmas holidays. They'll be coming from England, from Scotland, from America, Australia, every country in the world basically.
Typical really, we can't wait to get out of the country but it always keeps calling us back.
Many of us would find it difficult to imagine not being "home" for the festive season.
Here's why...
1) Your family picking you up at the airport
If you're lucky!
2) Meeting your mates for a pint
And they spend more time insulting you than welcoming you home.
3) That pint being a beautifully creamy Guinness
"Guinness doesn't travel well."
4) Eating loads of Quality Street and Roses
Everything, apart from the green triangles.
5) Rashers
Bacon is readily available throughout the world, but never tastes as good as it is at home.
6) The annual Christmas family argument
We wouldn't be siblings if we weren't tearing the head off each other.
7) Christmas Mass
It's the Super Bowl of the church year.
8) The excitement on your brother's/sister's/nephew/niece's face when they're opening presents
It's a time for the family, but realistically it's more about the presents.
9) Turkey
Why don't we eat this beautiful bird more often?
10) Christmas jumpers
The uglier the better.
11) Gravy
We're going to bathe in that shit.
12) Sitting around the fire
Those who now live in warmer climates automatically gravitate towards the only heat coming from the house.
13) Hot whiskeys
While we're on the topic of keeping warm.
14) Boxing/Stephen's Day dinner
It's better than the big day, let's just acknowledge that.
15) The unreal films on the telly
There's Home Alones and Harry Potters flying all around the place.
16) Mammy doing the washing for a week or two
Praise the sweet lord.
17) NOT New Year's Eve
Sit in your house all night and lock the door, for this is the most overrated shite night out you will have all year.
18) Drinking 13 cups of tea a day
Ah well sure, if you're having one yourself
19) Having a peek at the presents on Christmas Eve
We will never grow up.
20) Just this whole big beautiful island
There's no place like home.

Because of high energy costs, people seal their homes and buildings with better windows and insulation.
When buildings are sealed, contaminants can build up, such as mold. As air circulates, the mold - along with
chemicals given off by paints, cleaners, glues, particle board furniture, pesticides, and of course, cigarette smoke - is picked up and
spread throughout the structure without being "cleaned." NEW! We now have a version for your car, truck, or RV!

'Wow, that's so brave', she remarked to me, after I told her I moved here only knowing one or two people. I chuckled to myself, thinking – 'oh, if only you knew!' I decided to not share all those times that I felt scared, felt less than courageous, in the last 10 months.
But what happened? Was I the same person who arrived at a bus station in India and picked where I was going next by getting on the next departing bus? Was I the same person who learned to venture out and trust myself? It was hard to believe, sitting at home, on my couch, feeling…. well, frankly, pretty far from brave.
For some reason, things feel different here. Perhaps, it is that I am not a traveler anymore. This is my country, and now, my home. Perhaps it is that NYC is not known as one of the friendlier places in the world (though, full disclosure, I don't find it that rough either – people have the capacity to be friendly. They just choose not to be most of the time).
But, whatever that difference is, the fact remains that I don't feel as brave as I did when I was traveling the world. And when you don't have friends in a new place, getting yourself out there is very effortful. Tiring, even. And so, I found, over the months since I moved here – I lost that courage. It was sometimes easier to stay in with a good book, watch House of Cards on netflix.
Yet, I remember what it felt like to be out there, to explore, and have that freedom. So, I am going to dedicate the next few months/time to making that effort. To re-aquatinting myself with that freedom and joy and exploration. To being the traveler – but this time with a home (that no one is puking in) and way more clothes and shoes.
So, here is to learning to be a travler in my own home, wherever that home is – and finding courage.

My wife and I purchased a new Bosch dishwasher this past September from Best Buy, who also did the installation. Two weeks later, the lights in our kitchen blew a fuse and we noticed significant damage to the floors and walls in the adjacent family room. We discovered that the unit had been leaking for two weeks. We immediately contacted Best Buy, who then replaced the unit. However, Best Buy's insurance company has yet to return any one of the dozens of messages we have left. Not one. What do we have to do to get a human being to respond to us???
Hello GaryK,
Welcome and thank you for joining us!
I asked your wife to have you contact us via phone, or message me back to get this addressed for you. Will you please message me with your full name, phone number, e-mail, and your Sedgwick claim number? If you haven't received a claim number, I recommend contacting Sedgwick Claims Management Services to file a claim. Sedgwick is the insurance company that underwrites Best Buy claims for property damage that can occur during home deliveries, and to begin the claim process, you'll want to call 1-800-620-7409.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Behind the Scenes of Weather to Climate: Our Changing WorldCreated: 3/21/2016 Updated: 3/28/2016
Subscribe to the Nature Museum blog and never miss a post!
At the Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, we pride ourselves on producing self-created exhibits on timely issues that will resonate with our family audience. As we celebrate the rich history of our institution during its 160th anniversary, we are busy putting the finishing touches on our most ambitious exhibit yet, one that puts one of the most consequential issues of our time into perspective for families in a fun environment.
On April 2nd, the Nature Museum will open Weather to Climate: Our Changing World. The exhibit will present in an accessible way the fundamentals of weather and climate, the science behind climate change, and what actions people can take to reduce our own impact. The exhibit will run through October 23, 2016 and drive a community-wide conversation about climate change.
For the last two years — thanks in large part to a diverse collaboration of subject matter experts including Molly Woloszyn at the Midwestern Regional Climate Center and Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel — we have immersed ourselves in this important issue. By creating Weather to Climate from the ground up, we were able to put a truly personal touch on the exhibit. Throughout this process, we worked hand-in-hand with our education department to make sure the interactive content is presented in a way that is easy to understand. In addition, the exhibit will facilitate ways for visitors to continue discussing climate change after they have left the Nature Museum.
This exhibit also represents our biggest foray into multi-media. The exhibit will feature interactive displays, video games, weather simulations, climate labs and more, including an immersive entry experience where guests can experience the sensations of different types of weather. From a design standpoint, it has been fascinating to see ideas initially scratched out on paper be transformed into active, dynamic content.
In addition to the interactive, multi-media elements, the exhibit will also include a selection of animals from our living collections. The animals featured will represent some of the animals that are likely to experience an increase or decrease in population as a result of climate change.
The Nature Museum is dedicated to creating a positive relationship between people and nature through collaborations, education, research and exhibitions such as Weather to Climate. As Chicago's urban gateway to nature and science we could not be more proud to bring this global conversation to our own community. Join us on April 2nd as we open Weather to Climate and begin that dialogue.

Chicago Butterflies in 2012- A Wild Year!Created: 10/5/2012 Updated: 8/10/2016
It's been a wild year for butterflies in the Chicago area. Heat and drought seem to be the catchwords of the year. The season got off to an extraordinarily early start. It's not all that unusual to see a few butterflies in March, as species like Mourning Cloaks that hibernate as adults sometimes venture out on warm days. The prolonged hot spell in March brought a lot of species out, many over a month early. These Spring Azures were photographed at Bluff Spring Fen on St. Patrick's Day.
As the season settled in, the east central part of the US and Canada was overrun by an enormous population explosion of Red Admirals. In April the wave of Red Admiral migration crossed northern Illinois, with numbers about ten times their normal levels. As impressive as that was, the huge migration was even bigger in eastern Canada, where it was estimated that hundreds of millions of the butterflies were passing through.
Not surprisingly given the early and very warm season, 2012 saw the influx of several butterfly species that normally fly further to the south. Pipevine Swallowtails, Dainty Sulphurs (photo below), and Sachem skippers were all conspicuous in the Chicago area for much of the summer. These species are typically either rare or absent this far north. It will be interesting to compare data collected by the Illinois and Ohio butterfly monitoring networks to see if similar trends were observed in both of these states.
The news wasn't all good. The drought seems to have taken a toll on some of the region's rare butterflies- those species that require remnant prairies or wetlands. The Nature Museum's Butterfly Restoration Project made very little progress this year due to the very low numbers of these species that we encountered. Species that were present in very low numbers this summer included Silver-bordered Fritillaries, Baltimore Checkerspots (photo below), and Regal Fritillaries. With luck, conditions will be more favorable in 2013 and their numbers will rebound.

A popular academic magnet program for high-achieving Beaufort County elementary students interested in math and science is now accepting applications for the 2014-15 school year.
AMES Academy began at Beaufort Elementary in 2008 for third and fourth graders and was expanded to include fifth-graders in 2009. The program later expanded to Pritchardville Elementary School for grades 3 through 5.
Interested parents and students can learn more about this curriculum option when both schools hold special informational meetings. Beaufort Elementary School's two meetings are scheduled for Feb. 5 and 6 at 6 p.m., and Pritchardville Elementary School's two meetings are scheduled for Feb. 4 and 10 at 6 p.m.
AMES is based on rigorous math and science foundational skills taught through the use of science and engineering and technology projects. The program is designed to engage students in exploration, discovery and experimentation and is enhanced by an average student/teacher ratio of no more than 20 to 1.
Eligible students include rising third-, fourth- and fifth-graders in the district's gifted and talented program. Also eligible are rising third-, fourth- and fifth-graders who have scored in the 75th percentile or higher on a standardized achievement test such as MAP or ITBS and who have a B average or higher in Reading, Math and Science.
Interested students must complete a 2014-15 application online by March 10, 2014. The AMES Academy Admission Committee will interview prospective students beginning in March, and qualifying candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview. Each candidate needs to bring to the interview a copy of their most recent report card and a one-page composition entitled "Why I want to attend AMES Academy." Parents agree to a parental involvement component indicating their willingness to support AMES activities and participate in quarterly showcases.

Happy Midterms Tuesday!
I know you feel swamped, but there is still so much happening all around us!
Take a little study break and glance around at some of these links to see what's
Omaha News
The ability to be bipartisan has become a central issue in the Kerrey-Fischer race,
which can be tricky since Nebraska does not have a partisan legislature. Read your
weekly Kerrey-Fischer update here!
Apparently Omaha burglars are defying stereotypes, many choosing to rob houses
during the day.Yikes.
National News
Protestants are no longer the majority in the U.S. A pretty significant fact for
social, religious, and political life in the country.
Tomorrow the U.S. Supreme Court will undertake the case of an applicant to the
University of Texas who says her application was rejected because she is white.
The decision has the potential for either serious consequences for the university,
or the elimination of affirmative action. Read about it here!
Four states will soon be voting on initiatives about marriage. Hopefully the importance
of this doesn't need any explanation.
Vote-by-mail is a common method of casting your ballot. Even though this author seems
opposed to it, he also addresses that is is fast, simple, and safe.
Thanks for taking the time to stay informed about what's happening
around us. Last week I skyped with my friend Vera in Belarus, where they just had another
rigged election, thus electing their "president" for another consecutive term despite his being in
power since the fall of the U.S.S.R. It was a great reminder for me to not take this democratic
process for granted. What's worse than political ads delaying our YouTube videos? Not being able to vote in a fair election.
If you want a tool to help us re-appreciate our immense political freedom, take this citizenship test
and see if you are "worthy" of voting. Of course, if you were born here, you get an automatic A.
Good luck this week!

Global LED display market to benefit from high demand for energy-efficient displays
Increasing demand for efficient lighting, fixtures, and display has led to the robust growth of the global LED market. LED or light emitting diodes can be best described as a flat panel display that uses a spectrum of light emitting diodes for a video display.
Transparency Market Research Added Report "LED Display Market" And Its Full Database.Since these diodes offer incredible brightness, LED displays are increasingly being used by corporate houses to propagate their outdoor promotional activities. Owing to the array of benefits and functionalities it offers, the LED display market enjoys application across notebook PCs, handset signals, LCD displays, and others.
LEDs are also increasingly being used for outdoor displays such as store signs, digital name plates in vehicles, and bill boards. Since LEDs can also be used to offer illumination apart from visual display, it is also used for other decorative and functional purposes.
Growing Awareness about Energy Conservation to Boost LED Display Market Growing awareness about energy conservation among end users has led to the expansion of the global LED displays market. With increasing application of LED technology in laptops, LCD television sets, and monitors, the LED displays market is witnessing a surge in investment by leading manufacturers from around the world.
Impressive growth opportunities opening up in the global LED display market have also attracted an increasing number of new players to venture into the market. Hence, the competition in the market is further intensified, which has led key players to focus on innovating end-to-end solutions to cater to the specific industrial requirements.
As a result of enhanced research and development investment, several improvements are introduced in LED technology. Trend of Outdoor Advertising to Impel LED Display Market Among the several factors driving the global LED displays market, increasing demand for LED displays for outdoor advertising is the most crucial factor.
LED displays offer enhanced features such as energy efficiency, environment-friendly application, low operational cost, and high durability, owing to which marketers and advertisers have become keener to use LED displays for outdoor campaigns and promotions. Moreover, with the number of live shows, concerts, conferences, and sports events increasing, the demand for LED displays has significantly escalated.
High Initial Cost of LED Displays to Impede Growth Although manufacturers are capitalizing on widening LED display applications, high initial cost of LED displays is likely to inhibit the market's growth to an extent. Owing to its high price, the market for LED displays will witness a setback especially in price-sensitive economies such as India and China.
However, LED display prices will gradually decline with the introduction of technological advances, thereby reducing the impact of the bottleneck in the near future. Asia Pacific to Register Fastest Growth in Terms of Demand for LED Displays The global light emitting diode market can be segmented on the basis of color display, application, types, and geography.
In terms of distinct product categories, the LED display market can be classified into surface mounted LED displays and conventional LED displays. Based on application, the market can be segmented into digital signage and backlighting.
The backlighting segment includes smartphones, laptops, PC monitors, and television. The market for LED display in digital signage market is bifurcated into indoor signage and outdoor signage.
Additionally, based on color display technology, the LED display market is classified into full color LED displays, tricolor LED displays, and monochrome LED displays. With regard to geography, the key markets for LED display are Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World.
Among the key geographic segments, North America and Europe collectively hold the lion's share of the market. However, owing to increasing demand for LED displays across a plethora of end users, the market for LED displays in Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth in the forthcoming years.

What's Good Governance?
Investing in good businesses seems self-evident, but how do you determine which companies fit the bill?
Corporate governance can be one way to find out. It looks at how well a company mitigates risk, provides oversight and holds its managers and employees accountable.
It's one of the three pillars of sustainable investing (environmental, social and governance or ESG), and it's also used by fund managers who don't identify as sustainable investors.
Good governance seeks to maximize value and mitigate risks
Some portfolio managers, like those at Oakmark, believe good governance can help maximize a company's long-term value. Others use governance to try to mitigate risks. A CFA Institute survey1found that 63% of portfolio managers and research analysts relied on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria to help them manage risks.
Equifax is one example of how ESG ratings can help identify a company's risks. In September 2017 the colossal credit reporting agency reported one of the worst security breaches in history, putting the personal information of potentially 140 million people at risk. The data breach hurt its investors as well as its customers —Equifax's stock price plummeted over 30% in the six trading days following disclosure of the breach. Its bond ratings also sank and its CEO stepped down.
Investors who screen companies' environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices may have been able to sidestep these problems. Equifax had low ESG ratings from MSCI and Sustainalytics, two leading ESG-rating firms. In fact, a year before the 2017 data breach, MSCI gave Equifax their lowest possible rating, citing governance concerns. "Equifax shows no evidence of data breach plans or regular audits of its information securities policies and systems," MSCI reported.
What good governance looks like
Good governance is sometimes used as a proxy for good management. Well-governed companies tend to have strong oversight and a system of checks and balances that aim to help them avoid the kinds of problems that Equifax faces, including costly mistakes, lawsuits or regulatory problems that could hurt their bottom line.
Well-governed companies usually have an independent board of directors who work to keep management in check and look out for the rights of shareholders and customers. These companies also seek to address key issues, such as executive compensation and cyber security, and they're transparent about their accounting and financial statements as well as their political spending.
Apple and Google are examples of good governance: both have independent boards of directors who are elected annually, and they have separate CEO and chairman roles. Google is working to address pay inequality, while Apple seeks to improve diversity in its workforce.
As an investor, you don't have to reward mismanaged or poorly governed companies with your investment dollars. Instead, you can choose to own companies whose values manifest in a more sustainable way. We can help: the FundX Sustainable Impact Fund (SRIFX) is a way for you to own a portfolio of diversified stock funds that have strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings as well as strong recent returns.
Disclosure: SRIFX invests in funds and ETFs and it has no direct exposure to any individual stock, like Equifax or Apple. SRIFX had 18.60% invested in Oakmark Funds as of 9/30/2017. Fund holdings are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Click here for the top 10 holdings of FundX Sustainable Impact Fund.

Do you feel down or sad? Are you being bullied? Do you feel stressed or anxious? Do you self-harm? Do you have low self-esteem?
These are just some of the pressures that teenagers face today. Whatever you are facing or finding difficult in your life, it is probably a good idea to share it with others.
Most of the time we can talk to our friends or our family about our problems but sometimes this is not possible, this is when you might need to meet a counsellor. Coming to see a counsellor helps because they are independent from school and from home life.
Many young people come to counselling to talk about a specific problem, to learn a little more about himself or herself, or simply for someone to talk to about what's going on in their lives.
The counsellors at the Clonmel Counselling Centre understand the difficulties that teenagers like you face today and we value and care about how you are feeling. We are here to help you and not to judge you. We provide a safe place to help you understand how you feel and to help you find ways to feel better.

Welcome back friends... I have a couple of extra cards to share today using some of the newly released MFT products.
I like that we do Release Rewind because it gives me a chance to play with products that I didn't get to during the release countdown.
I really like this new Die-namics Little Lowercase Letters alphabet. I created this little Forget Me Not card using Kraft cardstock because I wanted the crisp but natural contrast that comes when it's paired with Smooth White.
The Banner makes is a great way to showcase this sentiment too
The inside shows a stamp from Cheerful Blessings that portrays the feeling that I wanted for the recipient.
Next is a card using the super cool Sailboat Die-namics!
Living in a Sailing community I know this baby will get tons of use! I used the Die-namics Little Lowercase Letters alphabet to create a little punny phrase. I thought about adding glitter but wanted to leave it with that crisp feel.
The inside finishes off that feeling again with a simply stamped sentiment using the new Go Overboard stamp set.
Not loving having to say goodbye to a friend for a while who is leaving the area... so this is sort of a bittersweet card. LOL!
Well... that wraps it up. Make sure that you head over to the MFT Blog and see who is sharing projects today and also who the winners are for those whopper gift certificates!!!
Thanks for poppying by, friends!

Thursday, 21 June 2012 from 13:00 to 15:00 (CEST)
Event Details
Nishant Shah will pass on and upon reflect experiences about the changing face of citizen action in a post-mediatized world. He will be presenting audio-visual material from studies in India and China – from a 'Global South' perspective – in order to look at the affective circuits of digital technologies and how our current models of development and change fail to address these conditions of being human - because mostly they are targeted at conditions of being a subject. This presentation will be embedded into the discursive context of 'citizen participation' and 'liquid feedback' projects destined for Lüneburg as part of a development region funded for by the EU and EFRE.

June 6, 1997, Section C, Page 5Buy Reprints
The thrill ride genre is a study in shorthand. ''Con Air'': convicts on an airplane. (''Do the math,'' as one character inevitably says about something nonmathematical, using the season's best-loved cliche.) Cameron Poe: he's our hero. Here's what we know about Cameron (Nicolas Cage, looking fabulous): he loves his family. He protects women. He sounds like Elvis. There are Christ-like overtones to his hair weave. He makes origami birds in his jail cell. He must be a really nice guy.
Another kind of movie might fill in a few blanks, but the thrill ride needn't bother. It has too much else to do: staging an air war over Monument Valley, sending Cameron fleeing fireballs in slow motion, breaking lots of breakaway glass, finding interesting new forms of demolition. (Ever see a plane crash into a Las Vegas casino? Now you can.) The thrill ride also has its own brand of sight gag, as when a corpse falls from an airplane and causes a comical traffic accident. And one of the drivers had just washed his car!
Thrill rides don't often make more sense than beer commercials, which they stylistically resemble by insisting that every frame look slick and pack a visual wallop. (When Cameron kills a man on a rainy night while defending his wife, there's an oil rig pumping in the background: nice kinetic touch.) But some are better than others. The colorfully written ''Con Air'' is a solid chip off ''The Rock,'' pumped up and very well cast, with the prettiness and polish of advertising art. (Once again the director made his mark in television commercials before moving on to feature filmmaking with this big bang.) Jerry Bruckheimer, producing solo after the death of his partner, Don Simpson, long ago melded the action movie with rock videos and comic strips, and he still knows how to make this formula fly.
Beyond the distinction of being the only summer blockbuster with a quotation from Dostoyevsky in its trailer, ''Con Air'' has an important secret weapon: an indie cast. All of the principals normally work in films more interesting and human than this one, which gives ''Con Air'' a touch of the subversive and turns it into a big-budget lark.
Imaginative actors like John Cusack (''Grosse Pointe Blank''), Steve Buscemi (''Trees Lounge''), Ving Rhames (''Pulp Fiction''), Colm Meaney (''The Van'') and John Malkovich (anything with a hissing, unctuous villain) show off entertaining quirks even when playing characters who aren't much more than tattoos and nicknames. As for Mr. Cage, he neatly embodies the noble hero while winking literally and figuratively through this role, and his charismatic performance gives the film the center it urgently needs. He also moves athletically through the story's increasingly far-fetched turns. Production notes mention that he reduced his body fat to 3 percent during filming, and the camera often finds ways to admire his muscle tone.
As directed by Simon West and written wryly by Scott Rosenberg (''Beautiful Girls''), ''Con Air'' is a simple setup followed by endless stunts. Having killed a man, served his time and corresponded busily with his daughter before the end of the opening credits (a speedy montage in virtual sign language), Cameron is ready to go home. Unfortunately, he is shipped off with a planeload of evil miscreants who have hijacking in mind. The baddies are led by Cyrus the Virus (Mr. Malkovich), whose sense of irony is shared by Garland Greene (Mr. Buscemi), a serial killer in the Hannibal Lecter mode. ''Love your work,'' Cyrus whispers when these two first meet.
Conveniently on board the plane are a diabetic who needs his insulin (Mykelti Williamson of ''Forrest Gump''), a female guard (Rachel Ticotin), a leering rapist (Danny Trejo), a stereotypically swishy transvestite (Renoly), a onetime black militant (Mr. Rhames) and enough others to round out a dirty dozen and keep crises on tap. On the ground, worriedly tracking the criminals and cracking their mysterious jail house code in about three seconds, are the straight-arrow Mr. Cusack and Mr. Meaney.
And in secret, revealed only to the scores of millions of people who will see ''Con Air'' all over the globe, is Cameron Poe's better nature. Fooling the tough cons into thinking he's as evil as they are, Cameron is actually a white knight determined to bring his daughter a stuffed bunny. The film is sly enough to turn the bunny into a totem and to make Mr. Buscemi's serial killer susceptible to a pigtailed, hymn-singing schoolgirl. It wants to justify the empty excitement of a thrill-ride scenario by treating it with a touch of sardonic detachment. Maybe we do, too.
''Con Air'' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It includes profanity, much mayhem and a few predictably brutal touches. There isn't much on-screen gore.
Directed by Simon West; written by Scott Rosenberg; director of photography, David Tattersall; edited by Chris Lebenzon, Steve Mirkovich and Glen Scantlebury; music by Mark Mancina and Trevor Rabin; produced by Jerry Bruckheimer; released by Touchstone Pictures. Running time: 115 minutes. This film is rated R.
WITH: Nicolas Cage (Cameron Poe), John Cusack (Larkin), John Malkovich (Cyrus the Virus), Steve Buscemi (Garland Greene), Rachel Ticotin (Bishop), Colm Meaney (Malloy), Ving Rhames (Diamond Dog), Mykelti Williamson (Baby-O), Renoly (Sally Can't Dance) and Danny Trejo (Johnny 23).

This website was created in 2012 after I was "told" that the orbs that had been appearing in my photographs since 2010 were meant to be shared to help those in grief. My son, Robbie, crossed over to the other side 2 days before his 28th birthday on January 19, 2010. Shortly after I started to notice orbs in my photos. I have always believed in life after life and that it is possible to receive signs and messages from our loved ones in spirit, so 6 months after my son's crossing I booked a reading with renowned medium, Hollister Rand for me and my husband. She told us that our son was standing between us with orbs and light all around him and that this will be important, and don't be surprised if I start getting orbs in my photos! Boy, she wasn't kidding!!
The orbs started out slowly, a few at a time and faint, but I continued to take pictures everyday and soon they intensified in size, color, and appearance. I realized I could "talk" to them and they would respond by appearing in a certain spot in the photo. After thousands of photos I started noticing faces in the orbs and when I described the face to the sitter in the photo they would often confirm that it was indeed their loved one who they had asked to be next to them. Sometimes I am "imprinted" with a message from the orbs for the sitter.
Since starting my spiritual path to honor my son's request of me, I have taken many mediumship workshops, started Yoga, practice Transcendental Meditation, became a Reiki Master and a Certified Angel Card Reader. I consider myself to be an Orb Medium but I am aware that my path has just begun and I still have a lot of learning ahead of me. My education, both from spirit and the classroom is ongoing and I eagerly apply myself to my work. This ability doesn't come from me but through me and it is my intent to do this for the greater good.

Sort: Last book in the Paranormalcy series.
Part 1. Paranormalcy.
Part 2. Supernaturally.
Evie's paranormal past keeps coming back to haunt her. A new director at the International Paranormal Containment Agency wants to drag her back to headquarters. The Dark Faerie Queen is torturing humans in her poisonous realm. And supernatural creatures keep insisting that Evie is the only one who can save them from a mysterious, perilous fate. The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its fate rests solely in Evie's hands. So much for normal.
I'm trying to finish as many series as possible this year. Have you ever realised how many series there are? I've made a list with all the series I've read in 2011 and 2012: I'm stressed! So many! Some of them aren't complete yet, but I hope to reduce my amount by finishing many completed series.
Evie is forced to return to IPCA by the new director, but she is enjoying her life as a normal teenager. That is until Lend is kidnapped by The Dark Faerie Queen from the Unseelie court. Evie decides to accept Reth's and Jack's help to get him back. In the mean time, Paranormals are asking her to open a gate for them. They want to return to their own world. Can Evie save Lend and is the ready to make a gate?
Evie was a good character, but I liked her more in Paranormalcy. She was a bit more whiny now, always busy with her and Lend. She was completely focused on saving him, but she was ignorant for other problems. Her mood swings were annoying too. She hates Reth, then she likes him, then she hates him so much she likes him – make up your mind!

During a restoration of the Romanesque church in Hemse in 1896, the remains of a stave church were found as reused floor tiles. The discovery was important at the time, providing new information to a prestigious research field with few sources of knowledge. Today the church's stave members are esoteric museum artefacts, "re-membered" in various forms of production of history. This poster sets out from an in-deep re-examination and virtual reconstruction of the remains from this stave church. The digital reconstruction functions as a virtual diorama to contextualize the diffused and decontextualized remains and contemporaneous religious artefacts. The aim is methodological, to explore the uses of the digital artefact in the research process. The reconstruction is less of a static representation of our knowledge than a historical laboratory through which archive material can be activated and hypotheses can be tested. We seek to methodologise the virtual diorama, using the technology for testing hypothesis and observe the effects when enacting the environment. The presented research is ongoing and we invite for discussion. How can we, through the digital artefact, elicit the sensuous aspects of a virtual place, and at the same time communicate the rigour of research and display the ambiguities of the reconstruction? How can we in an intelligible way map and reference the archive materials without interfering with the presence effect of the diorama? What are the challenges to present an interactive virtual reality file as a self-standing research output? How can we develop the digital artefact to better engage both researchers and the public in a dialogue on the premises of cultural heritage research?

Transurethral Resection of Prostate (M6530)
What is Transurethral Resection?
A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away a section of the prostate and is used to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
It's called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) part of your prostate gland is removed ('resected'). The term 'transurethral' describes the way your surgeon reaches your prostate. Instead of cutting through your skin they pass instruments through your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder and out through your penis).
Why this procedure
TURP is generally considered an option for men with moderate to severe urinary problems that haven't responded to medication.
What is the procedure
TURP is carried out using a device called a resectoscope, which is a thin metal tube containing a light, camera and loop of wire. This is passed along your urethra until it reaches your prostate, which means no cuts (incisions) need to be made in your skin.
The loop of wire is then heated with an electric current and is used to cut away the section of your prostate that is causing your symptoms. A thin tube called a catheter is then inserted into your urethra to pump fluid into the bladder and flush away pieces of prostate that have been removed. The bits of your prostate gland that are removed will be sent to the laboratory to check there are no cancer cells, just in case.
General or spinal anaesthesia is used during the procedure so you don't feel any pain while it's carried out.
Before, during and after the procedure
You'll usually need to stay in hospital for one to three days after your operation.
The catheter used during the operation will be left in place while you're in hospital because your urethra will be swollen and you may not be able to urinate normally at first.
It's common to feel tired and under the weather for a week or two after going home. Most men are up and about after this time, but you'll need to take things easy for four to eight weeks.
You'll usually be advised to stay off work and avoid lifting heavy objects, doing strenuous exercise, driving and having sex for at least a few weeks.
It's normal to have some difficulties urinating and some blood in your urine for a few weeks. These problems should get better as you recover.
It can take between four and eight weeks to recover fully from TURP. Most people wait two or three weeks before going back to work, but always follow your surgeon's advice. To help your recovery, your surgeon may recommend that you do pelvic floor exercises. Your doctor or nurse at the hospital will explain how to do these and how often.

Brazil confident World Cup will leave a lasting legacy
By Will SmaleBusiness reporter, BBC News, Soccerex, Rio
And they say it all the time.
Speaking at the Soccerex global business industry convention in Rio de Janeiro, Marcia Lins, the state's Sport and Leisure Secretary, says: "This is about legacy… it really is a new Rio, a paradigm shift, we are not going to let this opportunity go by."
Put simply, Brazilian authorities are obsessed that the tournament will have a positive, lasting effect on the country.
Whether they will be successful, only time will tell, but here is a look at the four main areas they are focusing on – the new stadiums, boosting tourism, reducing crime, and improving infrastructure.
Stadium utilisation
Brazil is sparing no expensive on the World Cup stadiums. It is building six new ones, and substantially renovating the same number across the 12 host cities.
The work to renovate the famous Maracana stadium in Rio is costing 750m Brazilian real ($404m; £261m), but the stadium is deliberately not being expanded in size.
So instead of using the World Cup as an opportunity to return the Maracana to its historic giant capacity of 200,000, it will remain at around 85,000.
Instead the money is being spent is on making the ground more comfortable for general supporters, plus newer executive boxes for the corporate market.
Andrea Sartori, a partner at accountancy group KPMG's sports advisory group, says Brazil is rightly trying to optimise the long-term capacity utilisation at the Maracana – how much money it makes per seat.
He adds: "The redevelopment of the Maracana is a perfect example of what to do when the World Cup is over."
However, the Maracana was always going to have a busy post-World Cup life, hosting the Brazilian national team, regular derby games between Rio's largest club teams, and rock concerts.
By contrast, some commentators question whether Brazil is spending too much money on World Cup stadiums in its smaller and more outer-lying cities, such as Manaus in the Amazon, and Fotaleza on the country's north-eastern coast.
"It does make you question what they are going to do with some of these grounds after the World Cup," says UK stadium expert Paul Fletcher.
"Whether they will be filled for club football games is questionable. And if they aren't properly utilised, they they'll lose money."
'Image promotion'
Regarding tourism, Brazil has ambitious legacy aims, and it knows exactly how it will achieve them.
The country aims to use a successful World Cup to help double incoming tourist numbers from 5.2 million in 2010 to more than 10 million by 2020.
To do this, it wants to ensure that overseas football fans coming in 2014 have a safe and well-organised trip.
Ricardo Trade, who is Fifa's head organiser for 2014, said: "The legacy is that 600,000 people will leave Brazil talking well about it, and promoting our image abroad."
For the tourism legacy to be achieved, the safety issue is key, because Brazilian officials admit that the country has a problem with high crime levels.
'Safe city'
Yet permanently cutting crime in Brazil in the long-term is another of Brazil's World Cup legacy aims. And this is most apparent in Rio.
Ahead of the World Cup, armed police backed by navy marines have been taking control of the city's favelas or shanty towns, driving out drug gangs.
But instead of planning to pull out again after the tournament finishes, authorities say the police presence will be permanent.
In addition to cutting crime, they hope it will improve social mobility and cohesion.
Sergio Cabral, governor of Rio de Janeiro state, says: "Visitors to Rio will not only find a safe city during the World Cup and Olympics, but before, during and after.
"They will find good public transport before, during and after. And good sports facilities before, during and after."
The final legacy that the World Cup will give Brazilians is 22bn real of infrastructure investment, which is being spent on everything from improving airports, to new rail and bus systems, and roads.
As one Brazilian official jokes: "We are not going to rip it all up after 2014."
Ney Campello, in charge of World Cup preparations in the city of Salvador, says the World Cup is being used to renovate the old downtown area, build a new light rail network, and renovate both the city's airport and passenger port – and that these would be its lasting legacy.
He adds: "The World Cup is the catalyst for all this public work."
