A big thanks to Andrew Conway who takes time from his retirement vacation along the canals of Britain to edit my screeds. Emma Buck I appreciate your critical and guiding feedback tremendously. Also thanks to my interviewees, those who helped me network, and those who engage regularly with me in these and other important conversations! Cover photo comes from a "Strike!" magazine article about the Clapton Ultras. Note: I refer to nazism and fascism with lower case letters as a sign of disrespect and antifa (anti-fascist) with lower case as a sign of decentralization, as in there is no one 'Way of the Antifa'.
Fascism and the broader far-right are ideological movements with differing beliefs in tactics but a generally conservative, xenophobic, authoritarian, nationalist, and violent epistemology and set of goals. We must counter the belief that far-right and fascist white terrorism is a "small problem" that we can just ignore or relegate to a minor clean-up duty that we can keep in the back of our minds as we pursue more important tasks. The U.S. has a far-right problem even beyond the systematic and sometimes obscured violence against black and brown folks. Lately you can see more and more outlets for them in the United States currently as they get more and more emboldened, likely as a result of Trump's presidential [campaign].
Trump's just the singing tea-kettle of the boiling pressure and networks beneath and he's close to having one of the biggest platforms for violence in the U.S. This is how it started in nazi Germany and fascist Italy and many have pondered the question of how similar this time period in the U.S. is to the Weimar period in Germany. That vocal pull to the right then opens the door and pushes your average GOP a bit farther to the right as everyone shuffles to keep up with the "in" discourse. This is called, the Overton Window concept, the window of what is considered acceptable and what is extreme in public discourse and how it shifts continuously relative to the discourse of the moment. Well, our Overton window is shifting, so that, before we know it, we have a mainstream U.S. presidential nominee who shuts out press outlets, encourages violence against protesters, and makes blatantly racist claims about huge swaths of religious and racial groups. Neo-nazis are taking note and seizing the opportunities Trump presents them with. I've personally seen far right militias and active white supremacist movements recruiting and flying their symbols (such as large tattooed swastikas) at Trump rallies. There's an international neo-nazi and white-supremacist forum called Storm Front started by Don Black who was a member of David Duke's Knights of the Klan. Stormfront has started actively endorsing Trump in a lot of its annals. David Duke himself is a firm Trump supporter and even Trump himself generally refuses to explicitly condemn Duke's views. That Trump phone worker with the Nazi tags that came out a while ago is just a piece of data in a larger pattern. This is, of course, not to say that every Trump supporter is a fascist. Of course, most are not. But there is a certain growing tolerance for his sometimes fascist rhetoric and many have questioned whether Trump wields fascist, proto-fascist, or nativist-populist potential or power.
Finally, as in the United States, but perhaps to an even greater degree, many of these white-supremacist nationalist parties– both henchmen and leaders– are taking major seats in government and occupying the ranks of common police forces. As recent U.S. violence targetting police has begun to upswing in response to police violence against communities of color, many far-right groups have pledged loyalty to and offered to protect the police through vigilante methods. This could symbolize or lead to a growing relationship between the two, representing a shift as historically, many far-right groups often fought against the police. In the United States, the far-right has a notable lineage and relationship to Libertarianism, Constitutionalism, "scientific"-racism/race-realism, and in more recent years, the neo-reactionary (NRx) movement, whereas, in Europe, the influences are to some extent more diffuse and relate to a longer historical memory but often vacillate between strong nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric and violence as can be seen in the events leading to and immediately following Brexit. This is of course acknowledging that both forms of fascism share many of these traits in varying degrees and are widely internally varied and dynamic.
Another example of conflict between peacebuilding and antifa praxis is in the realm of "othering". Anti-fascists make regular and intensive use of "othering" tactics against fascist and white supremacist movements. Many anti-fascists make fascists into something that can never be understood but can only be hated and fought. This has strategic value. It's harder to fight someone with whom you deeply empathize. Conflict transformation suggests something called "radical empathy" attributed to the powerfully brilliant Tatushi Arai, that allows one to strive to deeply understand the "other" and their needs, while not losing sight of the structural inequalities that influence and often create or maintain the violence. Radical Empathy is an ideal point of reference for antifa praxis against fascism, even though it is much easier said than done. As we struggle to subvert fascism in the world we must also expose it in ourselves. This vulnerability alone can be a source of empathy that allows us to recognize how one could fall into the memetic virusesassociated with fascism and the like. If fascism is built on theories of dominance and a sort of narcissistic group-selfishness and manipulativeness, then, to that extent, it reflects the sociopathic tendencies which we must undermine in ourselves. When I speak of empathy as a solution to this, I am not speaking of some brittle and impulsive visceral reaction, but rather of a sustained and conscious blurring of the self in order to better understand the "other". This does not mean that we lose ourselves in our process of recognition because, if our values are true, then they will always survive the encounter, no matter how deep. If we are afraid of encountering the "other," then it is because we are so afraid of inconsistencies within our own politics and values. If that's the case, then we'd be better off to make these inconsistencies visible and try to understand them. in order to begin undermining them. If you don't get behind empathy for some higher moral reason, then get behind it for the practical reason— the better you understand your enemy, the more effectively you can fight them. For instance, I personally empathize with the far-right poor white who wants to feel greater certainty in their ability to feed their family or feel safe in their community, even if I disagree with their understanding of how to get there. Further, from spending significant time around 'patriots' and libertarians I have learned of a great many common goals and values and of how to communicate through these frames of reference such as a basic anti-racist instinct in many of them (although it's often strangled or confused) or contradictions in the application of liberty as they describe it that can be pointed out to some effect. These are all potential bridges for practical real-life conversation.

Different views of Los Angeles: Sprüth Magers show Edward & Nancy Keinholz in London while John Baldessari opens the new gallery in L.A.
All eyes will be on Los Angeles and the recipients of those golden statuettes at the Oscars at the end of the month while, in the same week, the gallery which Wallpaper magazine has declared to be the best new gallery in its 2016 Design Awards will open at 5900 Wiltshire Boulevard across the road from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
Sprüth Magers, established in 1998 by Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, is adding to Berlin and London with a new gallery located in an existing 1970's building in L.A. which has been remodelled by Andreas Lechthaler and Botho von Senger and Etterlin to meet the needs of a gallery while enabling the character of the original architecture to be seen, and interior designs by Ingrid von Werz including furniture by California-based female designers
Jonathan Griffin in the Financial Times provides a good overview of the history behind the new gallery, from the coincidence that it was the first building that Philimene Magers visited in LA in 1991, when it was still a café, to the opportunities created by other galleries closing leaving artists potentially unrepresented that has resulted in their new gallery being located in L.A. rather than the more traditional New York, plus several of the artists they represent such as Ed Rusha and John Baldessari, whose work will open their inaugural exhibition, are based in California. In this they are following on from Hauser and Wirth who opened a new gallery in an old flour mill in downtown L.A. in 2015.
The new gallery for Sprüth Magers is part of the 5900 Wiltshire Boulevard complex which includes what is currently the tallest building in the Miracle Mile, opened in 1971 to designs by Gin Wong of William L Pereira & Associates and will now provide a free-standing art pavilion with double height windows on three sides surrounded by reflective pool, fountains and palm trees. The opening exhibition will show the work of the conceptual and playful Californian artist John Baldessari who combines words and images in challenging and amusing combinations, having declared in the 60's that "a word could be an image or an image could be a word, they could be interchangeable" and in the 70's that "I will not make any more boring Art".
Calvin Tomkins in the New Yorker in 2010 provided a good description of John Baldessari's work at the time of his exhibitions at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, across the road from where he will be exhibiting next week, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
In London, Sprüth Magers's gallery in Grafton Street, Mayfair, has a very different character, having been originally built around 1772 as part of a terrace of houses designed by Sir Robert Taylor, though subsequently altered. Behind a traditional shopfront are two relatively plain rooms with rough timber floors, almost warehouse in character, not what you would expect in sophisticated Mayfair.
Here, Edward and Nancy Keinholz show another side of Los Angeles – the dark underbelly of the city away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood with racism, violence, poverty, prostitution and mental illness – with works from the Betty and Monte Factor Family Collection that also reflects on the creative relationship between the artists and these long-term collectors of their work.
Each work tells a story, perhaps best illustrated by the "Drawing for Five Car Stud" (1969-72). High on the wall is a car registration plate for "Brotherhood 71″. Is it the registration of the car itself or one of those vehicles, the shadows of which can be seen through the car window. The door is firmly locked but liquid has been pouring down the inside of the car door – is it water, liquor, perhaps even the remnants of blood? Through the window the white lights of four cars and a pick-up truck pick out an eerie scene of a black man being held down on the ground while the other men try to castrate him as a punishment for drinking in the company of a white woman who is hiding, shameful, vomiting, in one of the cars.
Later in the year a larger exhibition of Edward and Nancy Kienholz's work will be held at Sprüth Magers in Berlin which will show more of these graphic representations of L.A. With their new gallery, Sprüth Magers will be able to continue to bring American artists to Europe but now also take European artists to L.A.

After the E3 Gears of War 5 announcement during the Microsoft conference, the official Gears of War twitter showed us a screenshot of a new Lancer variant that will be in the new game. Also shown is a new character named Fahz Chutani who is holding the weapon.
We currently don't know how much of an impact the new character will have, but I'm more interested in the new Lancer and what it can do. We will have to wait a little longer for some actual gameplay for Gears 5.

Q: Creating a computed value to calculate the cost doesn't work I have this fiddle with an example. I have some profiles and a cost per hour, and I'm trying to make the sum, but it only works the first time. If I modify some of the values, the sum doesn't update.
I have this function to calculate the sum:
self.valoracion = function () {
    var total = 0;
    ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.perfilesValorados(), function (item) {
        var tarifa = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.perfiles(), function(perfil) {
            return perfil.perfil === item.perfil;
        });
        total += parseInt(item.horas) * tarifa.tarifa;
    });
    return total.toFixed(2);
};

But if I change it to make it computed, I have an error saying that perfilesValorados is not a function.
How could I make it work?

A: you need to make 2 changes in your code:

*

*Change your valoracion to be computed function. Why? because you want the sum value to be recalculated whenever any of your observable value is changed.

*In order for step(1) to work your perfiles array objects that you calculate valoracion to hold observable properties (and here comes the problem trick).

For step 2 you already defined Profile model with observable properties but when added objects to perfiles array you didn't use it (I must wonder why?). To fix this you can simply add an init to your ViewModel in which you construct your perfiles array correctly. I hope you got the idea.
DEMO
Update:
For your updated example here which is not working, your problem in inserting new element to observableArray you have.
According to Observable Arrays documentation:
The syntax is more convenient. To call KO's push method, just write myObservableArray.push(...)
So update your code in init function to use:

*

*self.perfiles.push instead of self.perfiles().push

*self.perfilesValorados.push instead of self.perfilesValorados().push
Working version of your updated example here

Q: Trying to solve the collatz sequence project at the end of ch. 3 from "automate the boring stuff with python" At first I didn't include a while loop and I would have to rerun the program with the value from the previous time (ie it wouldn't recycle the results back through the loop) So i added the while loop to try and correct that.  Now When I run it, it gets stuck in an infinite loop.  Brand new trying to figure this stuff out.  Thanks in advance.
the instructions for the project are at the bottom of this link
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/chapter3/
def collatz(number):
    if number % 2 == 0:
        print(number // 2)
    elif number % 2 != 0:
        print(3 * number + 1)

    while number != 1:
        collatz(number)

number = int(input('enter a number:')  )
collatz(number)

A: You're never updating number in your function, just printing the next iteration. This produces two problems:

*

*The loop is infinite because number never changes.

*You never get past the first iteration, because you pass the same value of number in the recursion. When you design a recursive algorithm, the parameters in the recursion need to get you closer to the base case, so you can't just pass the same value that you received.

You don't need a while loop because the recursion performs the iteration. You just need to change function so it passes the next value when recursing.
def collatz(number):
    print(number)
    if number == 1:
        return
    if number % 2 == 0:
        collatz(number // 2)
    elif number % 2 != 0:
        collatz(3 * number + 1)

number = int(input('enter a number:')  )
collatz(number)


Senator RICE: Which action or actions did the Leadbeater's possum group consider most likely to be of greatest benefit to the conservation of Leadbeater's possum.
Mr Andrews: The advice was actually prefaced with suggestions. The group was asked to provide advice on measures that could be implemented—measures other than the Great Forest National Park. The advice that they gave included a set of measures other than the Great Forest National Park, but they also provided advice on the benefits of the Great Forest National Park.
Senator RICE: Which option did they feel offered the best chance for recovery for this critically endangered species?
Mr Andrews: I am sure you are aware that the Bayesian modelling from the Leadbeater's Possum Advisory Group report was clear that the benefits of the Great Forest National Park, in relation to other interventions, were the most important.
Senator RICE: Is that advice the government is taking on board in terms of its recommendations to the Victorian government given the results of that modelling?
Mr Andrews: The minister, when he announced the uplisting of the Leadbeater's possum, was very clear and unequivocal about the fact that the possum was being uplisted to critically endangered, but he also asked the department to work with Victorian government officials to commence a review and to update the Leadbeater's possum draft recovery plan.
Senator RICE: Moving on to the Leadbeater's possum draft recovery plan, given the results of those reports and the Bayesian network model saying that the creation of the Great Forest National Park was the most effective action, what plan does the department have to restore the Leadbeater's possum recovery plan's activity, effectiveness and credibility?
Mr Andrews: That is not actually my responsibility; it is the Wildlife, Heritage and Marine Division's responsibility. So I feel like I should let them answer that question.
Mr Thompson: That program area is 1.4, and the officers appeared earlier today. In relation to recovery planning, that is, as Mr Andrews indicated, the responsibility of the Wildlife, Heritage and Marine division. We would have to take that on notice.
Senator RICE: Okay, take that on notice.
Mr Sullivan: In terms of the line of questioning, I think Mr Thompson referred to Mr Andrews's terms of reference as the Species Commissioner. It is very clear in those terms of reference that the work of the commissioner complements but does not duplicate or override the statutory responsibilities of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee. So, in terms of the statutory requirements with respect to threatened species, there is a definitive rationale for Mr Andrews being in my division, which is associated with response mechanisms, in contrast to the statutory underpinnings, which are in program 1.4 in the Wildlife, Heritage and Marine division.
Senator RICE: Okay. Back to some questions for Mr Andrews: I understand that in your role you are advised by representatives of Zoos Victoria who are on the Leadbeater's Possum Advisory Group. Are you aware of Zoos Victoria also providing expert conservation advice on the Leadbeater's possum directly to VicForests, who are also an agency on the Leadbeater's Possum Advisory Group?
Mr Andrews: Yes I am.
Senator RICE: Do you know of briefings or correspondence between Zoos Victoria and VicForests about Leadbeater's possum?
Mr Andrews: Yes, Zoos Victoria gave me a copy of a letter that the CEO of Zoos Victoria wrote to the acting CEO of VicForests.
Senator RICE: Can you tell me what was in the correspondence?
Mr Andrews: I am not sure whether it is appropriate for me to reveal third-party advice.
Senator RICE: Perhaps in general.
Mr Sullivan: I think, just as a general principle, if that were, for example, a freedom of information request, we would have to seek approval of the third party even if it were in our gift or we were sent a copy of that letter. I think it is unfair to Mr Andrews, who is continuing to operate in good faith where he is given access to a whole range of information, to then ask him to talk about the content of that correspondence, which is between Zoos Victoria and VicForests.
Senator RICE: Certainly. It seems to be of relevance, though, in terms of his role in advising on the conservation of Leadbeater's possum. Does the information from Zoos Victoria concern the impact of logging activities by VicForests on Leadbeater's possum?
Dr de Brouwer: I think that is straying into the subject matter of the letter.
Senator WATERS: Can we not ask about that? Is this not estimates?
Dr de Brouwer: It is someone else's correspondence. It is not our correspondence or someone corresponding with us.
Senator RICE: But it was correspondence that was given to the commissioner in his role as the Threatened Species Commissioner for critically endangered species.
Senator Birmingham: But not necessarily given to the commissioner to reveal the contents to the whole world.
Senator WATERS: Can we seek some advice on whether we can ask that?
Senator Birmingham: We can take it on notice, but I think Mr Sullivan's point is correct. If the request was done as a FOI request, the law would require us to ask permission.
Senator WATERS: Sure, but we are not doing an FOI request. Senator Birmingham: That is not a bad principle to apply when it is not actually the government's correspondence.
Senator WATERS: It is not about the principle; it is about what the standing orders say. Do we have any advice on that?
CHAIR: We will find out for you and let you know.
Senator WATERS: I will await advice from the secretary on that point.
Mr Andrews: Sorry, I want to do my best but I do think I need to follow the rules and do the right thing.
Senator WATERS: Yes totally, we are just establishing what they are.
Senator RICE: The next topic I would like to talk about is the threatened species summit that is going to be held in Melbourne on 16 July to be hosted by the minister and that you, as commissioner, will be chairing. I note that the invitees include state and territory ministers, relevant business leaders, scientific and conservation management experts, non-government organisations and others active in threatened species conservation. Are you able to give me some more specific details of which non-government organisations and others active in threatened species conservation have been invited?
Senator Birmingham: If you have any suggestions, Senator Rice, I am sure they can be considered.
Senator RICE: But I understand some people have been invited already.
Mr Andrews: No-one has been formally invited. But to develop the program and to consult, I have spoken to the Australian Conservation Foundation, Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater, Friends of the Western Ground Parrot and various government officials. No-one has been formally invited but the formal invitations will come from the minister and myself, I hope, next week.
Senator RICE: Getting back to the Leadbeater's possum, for example, will MyEnvironment and Friends of Leadbeater's Possum be invited, given their experience with threatened species conservation activities on the ground?
Senator Birmingham: We will take that as a suggestion. It is not for Mr Andrews to say who will or will not be invited. He said the minister is yet to be briefed. The minister obviously will then make determinations on who will be invited.
Mr Andrews: We want it to be inclusive. I have spoken to the minister and we are going to have it webcast so that anyone anywhere in the world with access to the internet will be able to participate, not just to watch but also to ask questions. There will be an interactive webcast for anyone to participate.
Senator RICE: I understand from some stakeholders that you have been speaking to that the invitation list will be limited because of the size of the venue. Do you know what the total capacity of the venue is?
Mr Andrews: The capacity of the venue depends on those seating configuration. A recent meeting that was held there—I think it was a mammologist meeting last year—had about 150 people. The feedback was that that was the maximum carrying capacity, so we are looking at 150 people.
Senator RICE: Have you got specific invitations out yet? Or are you considering the business leaders that have been involved?
Mr Andrews: We have not invited anyone formally yet. The invitations will go out, I hope, next week after the minister and I sign them off together jointly. There will be businesses, major non-government organisations and there will be people representive of the threatened species community big and small.
Senator Birmingham: I think it is safe to say the minister wants to make sure that the event is a success and has a broad representation of the different stakeholder groups. Obviously we will be prioritising the invitations to ensure that he gets that broad representation.
Mr Thompson: I have a slight correction to Mr Andrews's answer there. Because the threatened species summit will follow on the next day from the minister's environment meeting, state and territory environment ministers have been invited in that context. So they have been formally invited, but that is not surprising.
Senator RICE: So they have already been invited?
Senator RICE: I am keen to talk about funding for threatened species conservation. You might be aware, Commissioner, there are several scientists who are crowd funding projects to conserve threatened species and there are citizen science groups that are doing research on the ground. I am wondering whether the threatened species strategy that is set to be announced at the summit will have a substantial budget attached to it? If so, will there be funding provided to the work of these scientists and groups around the country, who are now being forced to crowd fund to save threatened species?
Mr Andrews: Senator Urquhart asked a similar question. Really, we need to wait. The strategy is still a draft. When it is released, it will have actions and targets in it and that is when it will be appropriate for me to be able to discuss the costs.
Senator RICE: Do you see that it would be of value to fund these citizen science groups and scientists who are currently doing work as volunteers on the ground?
Senator Birmingham: We do fund many science programs and we welcome the fact that many others around Australia fund those programs. If you would like a summary of some of the environmental research programs that are funded and other funding streams that are available, the officials might be able to highlight some of those streams.
Mr Sullivan: We do fund a range of citizen science responses. A part of the ongoing legacy from the Green Army Program is that the project sponsors, who are the stewards of the sites where Green Army activities have occurred, will continue to report on the status and condition of the activities that have been undertaken by those teams. It is always a very difficult question to say that some areas are being forced to crowd source funding. It is a longer discussion because a number of groups would prefer to do that out of choice rather than be funded by the government.
Senator RICE: Or they would prefer to have the government undertaking the research that they feel they have been forced to undertake.
Mr Thompson: I think there are different sources of funding and different groups respond differently. From the Commonwealth government's point of view, it is important to have multiple sources. That is expressed in relation to the Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan as well, so it is a common theme.
Senator RICE: One of these citizen scientists does the work of the Goongerah Environment Centre. We have got a situation where a young woman from Far East Gippsland named Rena Gaborov recently rediscovered the large brown tree frog, which had not been seen for 15 years. Her work is being undertaken in an area that is still threatened with logging by VicForests that has only been halted due to legal action being undertaken by a volunteer unfunded community group, Environment East Gippsland. The large brown tree frog was one of four threatened species named in in 2013 Supreme Court case lodged by Environment East Gippsland against the state government. The Environmental Defenders Office claimed the government had failed to draw up plans to adequately protect the threatened species. In cases such as this, what is the role of the Threatened Species Commissioner?
Mr Andrews: I have not been contacted by that group that I can recall. But if they contacted me then I would help them to find funding from both within the government and outside of government. The Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater, for example, contacted me and I assisted them to apply for a 20 million trees grant. They are planting trees for habitat for the honeyeater. So if I am contacted then I can help access funding. I can also help by drawing on the $30-million Threatened Species Recovery Hub of the National Environmental Science Program to help with the appropriate science.
Senator RICE: But beyond the funding, in situations like this where you have a species that has just recently been rediscovered by a volunteer and that is threatened by logging—we have got Supreme Court action that has now halted that logging—what is your role in that? Given what we know in the case of Leadbeater's possum, does your role include calling for a halt to native forest logging while we have got these threatened species?
Mr Andrews: My role is just to follow my terms of reference.
Mr Sullivan: The Threatened Species Commissioner is a public servant inside my division. As I pointed out before, he does not override the statutory responsibilities of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee nor does Mr Andrews override the fundamental policy parameters of the government of the day. In terms of that logging action—and I do not recall the aspects of the particular court case you are referring to—if that was a matter of logging inside a regional forest agreement area then, again, Mr Andrews's job is not to override either the policy provisions or the legal provisions that underpin those forestry operations. His part of the division would give advice to the minister in terms of updates or implications of that. But it is not within Mr Andrews's terms of reference to openly advocate for a particular group where that is in conflict or overrides or duplicates other statutory responsibilities including other policy frameworks and legislative commitments.
Senator RICE: So at the end of the day, we have got a Threatened Species Commissioner, who, when it comes to the crunch, has not got a role where threatened species are in areas covered by regional forest agreements?
Senator RICE: Do you find it frustrating, Mr Andrews?
Senator Birmingham: That is asking Mr Andrews for an opinion. That is not what we are here to do. Senator Rice, Mr Andrews is able to present policy to the minister within government and argue or present through proper public process and public service channels ideas and thoughts, as all officials are. Public advocacy is something that I do not see a great shortage of out there in the community for a range of opinions.
Senator RICE: But at the end of the day, his role is limited. You have got a role that is called a Threatened Species Commissioner that cannot act to protect threatened species.
Senator Birmingham: Senator Rice, all of our roles are limited, but Mr Andrews's role is valuable. We have heard tonight some of the valuable work he is doing in engaging with communities, in working through certain issues and in elevating discussions around threatened species management both within and outside of government.
Mr Andrews: It might be worth mentioning that New Zealand, reflective of the value of this model, have announced that they are going to appoint a threatened species ambassador. They contacted us about the model and were very interested. So they have announced that they are establishing a similar threatened species ambassador position to promote awareness, to advise on policy and programs and to secure resources to turn around unacceptable extinction.
Senator RICE: I also note that they no longer log their native forests—but that is another point. Moving on to another species but still staying in Far East Gippsland, can you please tell us what stage the recovery plan is at for the spot tailed quoll?
Mr Andrews: I will need to take that on notice. It would be the wildlife and marine division that would respond to that.
Senator RICE: Also, what resources has the federal government committed for its recovery? Moving on to swift parrots, these questions may be more for the department rather than the Threatened Species Commissioner but I am not sure—I am still confused about where the roles overlap. We have an issue of sugar glider predation of swift parrots. Has consideration been given to incorporating the recent body of scientific work demonstrating the impacts of sugar glider predation and the direct and indirect impacts of logging on the swift parrot into the swift parrot national recovery plan?
Mr Thompson: It can because it is a recovery planning question. Program 1.4 is the right program to ask those questions because that is the part of the department that does the recovery planning activity. There are no officers at the table who I think can answer that, so I think we will have to take that on notice.
Senator RICE: Okay. I will put them on notice then. I will move on, keeping with regional forest agreements and looking at climate change. As we have said, we know that forestry operations in areas under RFA are not required to obtain approval under the EPBC Act, but, clearly, dealing with climate change is of direct concern to the department, and, at the moment, the regional forest agreements do not have to include consideration of climate change. We are now in a situation where the regional forest agreements are about to be extended for another 20 years. Do you know whether the impacts of climate change and carbon sequestration will be taken into account in the review and progress reports to come before the agreements expire?
Ms Campbell: The government has committed to rolling extensions of the regional forest agreements, and we are supporting the Department of Agriculture in that process. The first RFA renewal process will happen in Tasmania, and the public consultation process on the third five-yearly review is underway. That closes, I think, at the end of this week, so we will look at the full range of questions and work with Agriculture on that, but those decisions have not been taken by government.
Senator RICE: What is the role of the Department of the Environment going to be?
Ms Campbell: We work closely supporting Agriculture, which has the lead within the Commonwealth, and with the Tasmanian government in negotiating a bilateral agreement in that space.
Senator RICE: In January The Age newspaper published an article entitled 'Highlands logging halt would earn Victoria $30m a year in emissions reductions: report'. The article referred to a methodology that would need to be approved to calculate the CO2 emissions saved from ceasing logging of native forests. What can you tell me about this report?
Dr de Brouwer: I think the issues around methodology were really discussed in 2.1, in the climate change discussion. We have experts on land sector methods, and those officers are not here now. We can take that question on notice for them.
Senator RICE: Okay. I wanted to know whether that report was publicly available. I have written to the minister to seek a copy but have not had a response yet.
Dr de Brouwer: There is no-one here who can answer that.
Senator Birmingham: Sorry, Senator Rice; what is the report you were quoting from?
Senator RICE: It is a report that I understand is with the minister, which has got information saying that, if logging ceased in the Central Highlands, it would be of $30 million a year value in emissions reductions. It would mean that there would be 3.2 megatonnes of carbon sequestered if we ceased logging.
Dr de Brouwer: I am just not aware of that report, and the team who work in detail on that are not here at the moment. We can only take that question on notice.
Senator RICE: My final area is away from native forests and natural forests. I have some questions about the 20 Million Trees program, particularly looking at the planting of trees in urban landscapes. Was a baseline assessment of the current numbers and conditions of trees and plants done before the 20 Million Trees program commenced?
Mr Sullivan: Sorry, Senator; is your question: did we do a baseline assessment of all of Australia, of current tree levels?
Senator RICE: I am particularly interested in terms of the fact that urban trees struggle a lot in terms of their health. I know from my experience on local council that you can plant a lot of trees and a lot of them do not survive. Do you have some baseline that you can draw upon for trees in urban settings in terms of health? How do we know what tree cover we have, so that with your 20 Million Trees you will know what condition or health they are likely to retain?
Mr Thompson: It is a fair point. Before, when we were talking about 20 Million Trees, we made the distinction that the program has two streams. One is around small-scale plantings, and that is the competitive grants program. That typically would be the stream through which trees would be planted in urban areas. Now these are not necessarily street trees—these are urban parklands or vacant areas that could be re-treed and revegetated to create some habitat. The other stream, which is around large-scale plantings, typically will not occur in urban areas, so I am going to leave that aside because I think your question goes more to the former.
Senator RICE: Trees in urban areas, that is right.
Mr Thompson: Really, as Mr Sullivan said, we are relying on the competitive grants program. We are relying on the applications from the proponents. I could be corrected, but I do not think we sought information from the project proponents in that competitive grants program element, about baselines and the success of trees; but we did seek from them information about how they would seek to ensure high survival rates, the ongoing maintenance and care of trees, the replacement of dead trees and those sorts of things.
Mr Sullivan: Part of judging applications under the small grants process was around demonstrated capacity with respect to these sorts of endeavours, as well as knowledge of appropriate local trees, sourcing seeds and appropriate maintenance regimes to ensure the longer-term investment. In addition, in terms of the urban and periurban and the small grants stream, there are also one million trees being contracted to be planted in a corridor in west Melbourne, and there is also the Cumberland corridor commitment for one million trees. There are significant corridors within peri-urban and urban areas.
Senator RICE: Does your tree planting—your assessment of their likelihood of survival—take into account soil health? I am told there is observed decline and premature death of normally long-lived trees in urban areas.
Mr Sullivan: I would have to take that on notice in terms of the absolute inner-urban proposals. Let me take that on notice.

Nuncio on EDSA anniversary: Pursuit of justice must continue
February 24, 2021 vivapinas 0 Comments
SOURCE: CBCP News by By Roy Lagarde, February 24, 2021, Manila, Philippines
On the eve of the 35th commemoration of the 1986 Edsa People Power revolt, the Vatican's envoy to the Philippines reminded Filipinos that the only path to peace is justice.
Celebrating Mass at the iconic EDSA Shrine on Wednesday, Archbishop Charles John Brown said that there can be no peace without social justice.
"Justice is the foundation of peace in the society. When there is no justice, when people can't receive justice, they react in violent ways," Brown said in his homily.
"So whenever we can to promote justice in society, we are promoting peace," he said.
The papal nuncio also stressed that there can be no true social justice amid deep inequality.
"Fairness and justice means that equality in dignity is respected," he said. "In order to have peace in society there needs to be justice, people need to be treated fairly."
Before the Mass, Brown led the releasing of 35 pigeons outside the church to symbolize the 35 years since the historic revolution that booted dictator Ferdinand Marcos out of power.
The archbishop also reflected on the role of Mary in the peaceful change in government.
"We thank Mary for her intercession at that moment as a mother of peace in order to allow a peaceful transition of power here in the Philippines," Brown said.
Bishop Broderick Pabillo of the Manila archdiocese, for his part, called on Filipinos to "not let go of the promises of freedom of EDSA".
"Let us oppose all attempts to control us and to scare us off in expressing ourselves," Pabillo said.
Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga also said that the peaceful uprising was a "blessing" and showcased "what was best in us and beneficial to our country".
However, he said that some leaders from that time failed to "live up to our trust and to the legacy of EDSA".
"Let us commemorate Edsa to give what is best, right and moral to our country and to God; not to oneself or to a particular party or color," Santos said.

Amazon back in 2012 bought Kiva, a robotic company specialised in robotic warehouse management. Now, less then two years after the acquisition Amazn is using 10,000 robots in a few of its warehouses in the US.
5. they don't need to learn where a package is, they ask each and every time where it is. This allows Amazon to reconfigure its warehouse to make pick up more efficient.
All these "savings" (in energy, time, flexibility and dollars) go to the advantage of Amazon and of its customers. However, it doesn't increase jobs posts, quite the contrary (although so far Amazon has declared that has not been forced to lay out any worker so far, it is just reallocating them).
True, it is not the first time that we see technology killing jobs, think at the number of jobs lost in agriculture in the last century or the ones lost in the assembly lines of electronics goods, but so far the number of job lost was more than balanced by the creation of new jobs. This does not seem to be the case in the last 5 years, according to several economic studies.
By making robots that are progressively getting better and smarter (in the near future) than human being we are actually shooting on our foot. And, unfortunately, there is no way out on sight.

Opinions and more!
Outrageous! Transgender Pedophile Gets Child Pornography Conviction Overturned, Wait Until You Hear Why
Transgender "rights" are becoming a more and more talked about topic in the world, and not just Western civilization. But where should the line be drawn?
What exactly is a "transgender right"? Does a man have a "right" to put on a dress and prance around like woman? Does a man have the "right" to destroy their own genitalia to become more "like a woman"?
My opinion is that they have the freedom to do those things to themselves because no one else should have authority to tell them what to do with their body. Is it a good idea? Absolutely not!
But people are blurring the line of what a right actually is. Surely, a recent incident in Australia has gone too far and justice was not served.
A transgender "woman" (biological man) was just given his freedom back and escapes almost all punishment for one of the most terrible crimes imaginable: possessing photos of child sex abuse.
The reason why he was able to get the conviction overturned was that he was, "struggling with issues concerning his transgender identity."
According to Pluralist,
"There were a total of 15 images depicting young boys between the age of five years and 16 years posing naked, performing oral sex or engaging in anal intercourse, either with other young people or adults," the court said.
Last December, Bunton pleaded guilty in the District Court of Burbane to possession of child exploitation material.
During sentencing, Justice Brian Devereaux pointed out that Bunton had told a psychologist that she only got involved with child porn "out of curiosity and at a time when she was struggling with issues concerning her transgender identity and sexual identity." She claimed to have stopped viewing the material at age 17.
The forensic psychologist, Dr. Gavan Palk, seemed convinced in his report to the court.
"She does not present as a person who is a risk to children. Her sexual offences appear situational and in the context of low self-esteem and lack of confidence due to teenage sexual adjustment issues," he said. 'There was no evidence of entrenched paedophilic tendencies."
So if someone is struggling with something, especially something that doesn't even exist, that person can have criminal convictions overturned? That is nonsense!

My love affair with music and movies
War Film Tunes
Composers, Epic films, Film Music, Movie Quotes, Movie Review, Movie Reviews, Movie Scores, Movies, Soundtrack, TV, War, War Film
"Lead me, follow me, or get the hell out of my way" (George S. Patton Jr.)
"There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs" (Dwight D. Eisenhower)
War films range from patriotic and heroic fighting stories designed to celebrate unity and self-sacrifice for love of country, to anti-war films that depict war crimes, the disillusion of the public towards the horrors of warfare, and the negative effects war injuries and psychological stress on soldiers and returning veterans.
"We can teach these barbarians a lesson in Western methods and efficiency that will put them to shame. We'll show them what the British soldier is capable of doing…It's going to be a proper bridge" (The Bridge on the River Kwai, 1957)
While in a prisoner of war camp, British Col. Nicholson co-operates to oversee his men's construction of a railway bridge for their Japanese captors. Sir Malcolm Arnold incorporated in his score for the film the march Colonel Bogey, originally written in 1914 by Kenneth J. Alford (The British March King). British prisoners whistled unaccompanied the theme several times as they marched into the prison camp. Colonel Bogey inspired Arnold's original "River Kwai March." He won an Academy Award for the film's score.
"I assure you I had no intention of being either harsh or cruel in my treatment of the soldier in question. My sole purpose was to try and to restore him some appreciation of his obligation as a man, and as a soldier" (Patton, 1970)
The film narrates the actions of controversial war hero General Patton during World War II. Jerry Goldsmith composed a memorable, gripping and emotional score full of high-flying marches and reverberating trumpets.
"Well, that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain't dying. And dying's what these white boys been doin' for going on three years now, dying by the thousands! Dying for you, fool! I know, 'cuz I dug the graves" (Glory, 1989)
The tragic Civil War epic inspires a stunning and very moving score from James Horner. The music is full of honor, courage, tension, and mournful melancholia. As the film, the music is very emotionally charged and uplifting.
"What are you doing? These are mine. These are my workers. They should be on my train" (Schindler's List, 1993)
German entrepreneur Oskar Schindler saves the lives of over one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust. Itzhak Perlman's violin solos are one of the best examples of how much beauty can be contained in profoundly sad music. This score is without doubt one of John Williams' finest and most inspiring masterpieces.
"Captain Ramsey, under operating procedures governing the release of nuclear weapons we cannot launch our missiles unless both you, and I agree" (Crimson Tide, 1995)
A film about a young Navy Executive Officer who thinks and acts in preventing his submarine captain from launching nuclear missiles before confirming his uncertain orders to do so. "Roll Tide" is a wonderful march full of bravura and defiance. The gifted composer Hans Zimmer confidently used a large orchestra and an all male choir to gradually builds a victorious climax full of tension and thunder.
We may all have different feelings about war and its aftermath, but it is quite clear that in one way or another armed conflict will be with us forever. As the Greek philosopher Plato said, "only the dead have seen the end of war."

It was founded as a moshavah in 1931 by a Zionist group, the Aḥuzah society in New York, most of whose members failed to arrive. The moshavah was considerably enlarged by new immigrants in 1949 and in 1950 received its municipal council status.

India's New Goods and Services Tax: Data analytics solutions for finance, procurement and supply chain professionals. India is undergoing a tax transformation with the imminent introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
With the pace and complexity of business ever increasing, it is important for organizations to find new areas of growth, efficiency and competitiveness.
Global business travelers potentially trigger compliance and withholding obligations. These can be multiple (income tax, social security, immigration, corporation tax) and can impact at either the individual or the corporate level. Since the global economic travails of 2008 and their impact on tax revenues across many jurisdictions, tax authorities have faced pressure to reduce the "tax gap" – the shortfall between what could be and what is actually collected.
As a tax director, CTO, CIO, CHRO or CFO, you are likely finding the tax perspective on your business challenges is becoming increasingly prominent. What are the emerging questions you should be prepared to address?
Where historically countries might have used tax policy as a means to competitive advantage, today, international tax collaboration is the new order. As more data is shared and publicised, who owns it, and who has the right to see it?

IMPACT Project Members Gather in Trondheim for Fourth Project Meeting
July 13, 2022 June 27, 2022 by IMPACT News
From left to right: Nina Langhelle (SINTEF Ocean), Jimmy Murphy (UCC), Andrzej Holdyk (SINTEF Energy Research), José Miguel Rodrigues (SINTEF Ocean), Giacomo Alessandri (VGA), Paula Garcia Rosa (SINTEF Energy Research), Terje Rølvåg (SINTEF Ocean), Salvatore D'Arco (SINTEF Energy Research), Joao Cruz (Yavin Four Consultants), Mairead Atcheson Cruz (Yavin Four Consultants), Hans Christian Bolstad (SINTEF Energy Research) and Federico Gallorini (VGA).
On 22 and 23 June 2022, the IMPACT project successfully held its fourth project meeting. While some members joined on Microsoft Teams, the majority of participants were able to travel to Trondheim, Norway.
"Finally, we get to have our first in-person meeting for over half the project," said Project Coordinator Federico Gallorini in his opening comments.
The first day started with updates from the work packages that are currently in progress: Project Management work package (WP1), New Testing Methodologies & Metrics work package (WP5), and DHIL Testing Platform Development work package (WP6).
Discussions underway at the IMPACT project meeting.
After lunch, the project members toured both the Smart Grid Lab at SINTEF Energy Research and SINTEF Ocean's facilities. Both of these laboratories are used for simulations and tests related to marine and wave energy.
The second day started with the kick-off of the Integration of Novel Test Rigs & Methodologies work package (WP7), which will use the IMPACT test rig to test different wave energy converters (WECs). This work is led by Yavin Four Consultants, with participation from SINTEF Ocean, VGA and the University College Cork MaREI.
Mairead Atcheson Cruz presents WP7.
Giacomo Alessandri speaks about DHIL testing platform development.
There were also further discussions about IMPACT's participation at the international ICOE-OEE wave energy conference in October this year. More details will be released shortly.
Finally, the meeting concluded with a presentation from Nikolai Haldane, chief operating officer at Havkraft. Havkraft is a Norwegian company that has developed its own wave energy converter – the Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC). As part of his talk, Nikolai shared their experiences with testing at a low technology readiness level (TRL), which was a particularly relevant topic considering the launch of WP7.
"It has been a pleasure to finally meet in person and talk to each of the partners in IMPACT," said SINTEF's Hans Christian Bolstad, leader of the Project Results Exploitation and Dissemination work package (WP8), who organised the event. "I believe this to be particularly important, as we are now entering the second half of the project."

To Shanshu in L.A. conocido en América Latina y en España como Shanshu en Los Angeles. Es el vigésimo segundo y último episodio de la primera temporada de la serie de televisión estadounidense Ángel. Escrito y dirigido por David Greenwalt. El episodio se estrenó originalmente el 23 de mayo del año 2000. En este episodio Ángel debe encontrar la manera de derrotar a Vocah un guerrero del inframundo que ha sido invocado por W&H para realizar el alzamiento de un ser que será la clave para lidiar con el vampiro con alma.

Argumento
Wesley continua traduciendo el texto de las profecías Aberjian (una de las cuales es la profecía Shanshu). En su intento por traducirlo, Wesley traduce la palabra Shanshu como "muerte", dando a entender que Ángel va a morir. En las afueras del edificio de Wolfram & Hart, los abogados Lindsey, Lilah y Holland llaman desde el inframundo a un guerrero llamado Vocah para ayudarlos a realizar un alzamiento.

Ángel rescata a una mujer indigente de morir por el ataque de un demonio y en el progreso tiene una seria plática con Kate quien le explica que quiere limpiar la ciudad de las criaturas de la noche. Wesley y Cordelia deciden comentarle lo de la profecía a Ángel, pero cuando el vampiro escucha la noticia no se sorprende en nada. Ambos llegan se dan cuenta de que se debe a que Angel no se puede aferrar a la vida por ser eterno y creen que la solución es que el vampiro adquiera un pasatiempo.

Mientras en tanto Vocah enfurece contra los abogados de W&H luego de enterarse que Ángel robo el pipeto que es esencial para la realización del alzamiento. Vocah entonces decide que debe debilitar al vampiro antes de enfrentarse a él, y cree que debe romper el vínculo que tiene con los poderes del ser.

Para poder lograrlo Vocah mata a los oráculos que Ángel consulto en ocasiones pasadas e inunda a Cordelia de miles de visiones que la dejan con un dolor agonizante, hasta el punto en el que los doctores le diagnostican pocas horas de vida. Al anochecer Vocah implanta una bomba en las oficinas de Ángel y escapa con el pipeto. Wesley entra a las oficinas sin saber lo de la bomba y permanece en el edificio cuando este explota. Cuando Ángel nota un extraño tatuaje en la dolida Cordelia; el vampiro va a ver a los oráculos solo para encontrarse con los cadáveres de los mismos. El fantasma del oráculo femenino aparece ante Ángel advirtiéndole que el responsable fue un Vocah y que en el pipeto esta la clave para liberar a Cordelia del dolor.

Ángel se ve obligado a internar a Wesley en el hospital y enfrentarse a Kate quien lo quiere poner en custodia por ser el testigo de la explosión. Un enfurecido Ángel le deja bien claro que no le permitirá seguir molestándolo y que ya no son amigos. Poco después el vampiro le pide de favor a Gunn que cuide de los heridos Wesley y Cordelia mientras se va enfrentar al demonio Vocah responsable de todo.

En una sala; Vocah se prepara para realizar el alzamiento con una caja al centro de la habitación y cuatro vampiros encadenados en los costados ante las miradas de Lindsey, Lilah y Holland que están presentes para supervisarlo. A la habitación llega Ángel para enfrentarse a Vocah por el pipeto y por lo tanto interrumpiendo el ritual. Mientras Vocah y Angel luchan, Lindsey decide terminar el alzamiento, al recitar las últimas palabras; los cuatro vampiros encadenados se desintegran en el aire y una actividad se forma dentro de la caja del alzamiento. Acto seguido los socios de la firma se llevan la caja.

Luego de una rendida batalla, Ángel consigue derrotar a Vocah y le secciona la mano a Lindsey para evitar que el abogado destruya el pipeto. En hospital Ángel y Wesley realizan el ritual para liberar a Cordelia de la maldición de Vocah. Al día siguiente en el apartamento de Cordelia (usado com cuarteles temporales de Investigaciones Ángel); Wesley se da cuenta de que cometió un error de traducción en la palabra Shanshu y se da cuenta de que la profecía dice que Ángel se convertirá en unhumano una vez que complete su destino.

En una bóveda de Wolfram&Hart, los abogados se reúnen para planear su próximo movimiento en contra del vampiro con alma que podrán realizar con lo que hay en la caja, en donde se encuentra una resucitada y aterrorizada Darla.

Elenco
 David Boreanaz como Ángel.
 Charisma Carpenter como Cordelia Chase.
 Alexis Denisof como Wesley Wyndam Pryce.

Producción
El productor y creador de la serie David Greenwalt quiso explotar las oficinas de Investigaciones Ángel porque estaba inconforme con ellas a la hora de filmar.

El nombre de Julie Benz apareció hasta los créditos finales del episodio con tal de acreditar su aparición como una sorpresa.

Continuidad
 El episodio revela el significado de la profecía Shanshu que establece que un vampiro con alma tendrá un papel sobresaliente en el Apocalipsis, ganando de esta forma el derecho de vivir como humano de nuevo.
 Lindsey pierde su mano y esto intensifica la rivalidad que ambos se tienen mutuamente.
 Las Oficinas de Investigaciones Ángel son voladas en pedazos por Vocah y esto ocasionará que Ángel busque al hotel Hyperion como las nuevas oficinas de Investigaciones Ángel.
 Kaye menciona que se interesa en casos paranormales porque quiere limpiar a la ciudad de los demonios y vampiros.

The fight against corruption can rebuild trust in the EU
Vitor Teixeira
Today, 22nd of June 2017, the European Parliament's Committee on Petitions held a public hearing on the subject of 'restoring citizens' trust in the European Project'.
The European Ombudsman Ms. Emily O'Reilly and experts from a wide variety of civil society, media, academic and youth organisations were invited to present their views on the matter. TI EU gave a speech on 'How a credible fight against corruption could contribute to rebuilding trust in the European project'. You can find the speech in full, below:
The promise of the European Union is peace, democracy and prosperity. This promise is also the basis of its relationships with countries around the globe. There seems to be a clear link between the trust that Europeans have in the common project and the Union delivering on these promises. Particularly when citizens feel that the promise of prosperity is no longer delivered, they lose trust in the EU. We have seen time and time again that corruption has been an obstacle to these promises being kept.
Transparency International's fight against corruption in the EU has therefore focussed on two broad areas – firstly, keeping the Institutions themselves as free of corruption as possible; and, secondly, promote anti-corruption and transparency reforms through EU polices that impact on member states and beyond such as corporate transparency or trade.
There have been tangible achievements in both areas. The introduction of the code of conduct for the European Parliament, reforms to EU lobbying rules or stricter "cooling-off" periods. New EU legislation on the transparency of payments to governments by oil, gas and mining companies and reforms to anti-money laundering legislation have improved the EU's anti-corruption framework and set the global agenda.
These advances come at a time, however, when the basic purpose and functioning of the European Union is being questioned as never before – not only in the Brexit negotiations that started this week. There is a resurgent nationalism across the continent and waning confidence in the ability of the EU to deliver prosperity, security and solidarity. Trust in the institutions has declined continuously since the onset of the Euro crisis, while perceptions of corruption have increased, along with the view that the regulatory process is dominated by special interests. Indeed some critics have accused the EU's policies of undermining democratic control and even fuelling corruption.
It is no wonder then that institutional and governance reform is a priority for the current Commission under the banner of 'a Union of democratic change'.
Despite a long history of promoting good governance, rule of law and anti-corruption reforms, the EU now faces a number of challenges. The scale of the problem remains formidable, costing the EU between €120 billion and 1 trillion euros annually. Reforms undertaken by Member States while negotiating EU membership have stalled or in some cases reversed. Seven EU member states (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Slovakia) still score 51 or less in our CPI. Governance indicators paint a picture of stagnation or worse. In Hungary, for example, we are moving into a situation of state capture, where the government is exploiting its power for private gain, plundering the Central Bank, rerouting European and state funds into the pockets of friends and family and systematically persecuting, attacking and weakening anyone that might speak out against this: the opposition, media, civil society and even academics. There are indications that citizens in countries with particular corruption problems are looking towards the EU to rein in problems that their government might no longer be capable or willing to sort out.
The EU is hampered by a limited and contested competence in the field of anti-corruption, with no legal powers in the area of anti-bribery legislation or political party financing for example. Implementation and enforcement of anti-corruption laws is mostly the preserve of national governments.
The EU is also confronted with an "arc of instability" in its Southern and Eastern neighbourhoods, the result of geo-political shifts and conflicts, but also fuelled by high levels of corruption. The EU needs to quickly move beyond the necessary crisis-management measures and think strategically about how it can deal with the root causes of this instability – in particular corruption – by systematically engaging with the anti-corruption and pro-democracy movements in these regions, by requiring governments to be accountable for progress on anti-corruption commitments, and by ensuring its funds do not become another revenue stream that is captured by corrupt elements.
Bearing in mind these challenges, the EU needs to rethink its role in the fight against corruption. The value of the EU in an anti-corruption context will stem from its ability to provide civil society with the support and tools needed to hold those in power to account. In doing so, it can build on the recent body of transparency legislation it has put in place in areas such as corporate disclosure, public procurement and anti-money laundering.
With this in mind, let me mention a few ongoing procedures where EU policy makers could shift things in the right direction:
The EU should become an anti-corruption champion
The EU's engagement with countries on anti-corruption issues – whether with Member States, candidates for membership, or the rest of the world – has frequently focused on institutional and legislative reforms such as anti-bribery legislation. There remains a significant 'implementation gap' between rules and actual practice. This had been acknowledged by the Commission's Anti-Corruption Report in 2014. Unfortunately, the Commission has since even abandoned the soft approach to corruption in member states and cancelled any further edition of the Anti-Corruption report.
We were profoundly disappointed to learn of this decision. The decision is at odds with the clear commitments by the Commission, with the prominent emphasis placed on anti-corruption reforms in the enlargement process, with the EU's international commitments as a signatory to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Convention Against Corruption, and indeed the public statements of the President of the Commission.
Without the report the Commission lacks any instrument or strategy to guide future EU anti-corruption policy. Member States had requested an anti-corruption strategy in 2009. But despite the EU's ratification of the UN Convention against Corruption nine years ago, it has not even performed the first step of a self-assessment. The planned accession of the EU to the Group of States against Corruption of the Council of Europe (GRECO) is also not moving forward.
The EU and the European Commission in particular has not fully recognised the role that civil society can have in changing norms and achieving better implementation and enforcement. The ratification of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by EU Member States and EU Institutions – with clear targets on anti-corruption and good governance; an emphasis on transparent indicators of progress; and a participatory and inclusive review process – represents a unique opportunity for the EU to overhaul its approach.
What should be done to curb financial crime and illicit financial flows
Political corruption on a grand scale relies on sophisticated techniques to disguise both the source and ultimate destination of the funds. The scale of such illicit financial flows is enormous – Global Financial Integrity estimates that developing and emerging economies lost US$7.8 trillion in illicit financial flows from 2004 to 2013, with illicit outflows increasing at an average rate of 6.5 percent per year—nearly twice as fast as global GDP.
The aftermath of the Arab Spring and the revolution in Ukraine showed that the EU is a favoured destination for corrupt money. At the same time, the EU also sees major outflows as a result of money laundering, tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. Financial flows between government and business, through public contracting, remain Europe's number one corruption risk.
In the fight against money laundering the 4th AMLD is currently implemented at member state level. All member states are introducing central registers of beneficial ownership for companies. Following the release of the Panama papers the Commission has already announced revisions on several aspects before the new rules even enter into force. This might mean that two important shortcomings we had identified might be addressed, namely a removal of the "legitimate interest" test for access to the registers of beneficial ownership as well as the strengthening of transparency requirements for other legal structures such as trusts.
The second aspect of financial flows that we focus on right now is that of tax transparency for large corporations. Following the Lux Leak revelations and the inquiries by the Parliament and the Commission we have repeatedly seen structures exposed in which multinationals have obtained sweetheart deals from governments, avoided billions in taxes and shifted profits and tax payments between countries, often to secrecy jurisdictions. Several of these deals have since been found to constitute illegal state aid, such as the cases of Starbucks and Fiat with the Netherlands and Luxembourg, but many more such arrangements still remain unknown. JURI and ECON just approved public country-by-country reporting on big companies' turnover, profits, staff and other key data. This is a crucial measure to ensure public scrutiny over multinationals' structures and tax payments. However, the two Committees also introduced sizeable loopholes for companies to sneak their way around these new reporting obligations. Just to say that country-by-country reporting already exists for the extractive industry and for banks and has been working well and without complications for these companies for several years.
What the institutions themselves can improve
Despite a number of promising transparency reforms, EU decision-making remains opaque. One of the most important EU decision-making bodies, the Council of Ministers, has made few concessions to transparency, so far abstaining from initiatives to improve lobby transparency and blocking reform to access to documents regulations. To date – I as a German citizen – I cannot find out what my government does in my name until a text reaches its final vote at the Minister level. Addressing these and more fundamental accountability gaps in an effort to make the Union more responsive to citizen input will require wide-ranging changes and a shift in culture.
As far as the European Parliament is concerned there is work to be done in three main areas: Reforms are necessary when it comes to outside jobs, revolving doors and ethics oversight by the "advisory committee". The situation where your assistants face a cooling-off period of up to two years while MEPs can take any job the day they leave is not tenable. More than 20 MEPs currently have outside jobs with registered lobby organisations. More transparency and accountability is also needed when it comes to budget lines directly accessible to MEPs, such as the 40 million euros a year General Expenditure Allowance and the staff allowance that has just forced three former French MEP ministers to step down. Finally, MEPs need to contribute to more lobby transparency in Brussels by publishing their meetings similar to what the European Commission has been doing since December 2014.
To summarise, it is not too late for the European Union institutions to be effective champions of the anti-corruption agenda and to be an example of good governance and transparency in the way they function. This would clearly contribute towards regaining citizens' trust in the institutions and the EU as a whole. We have a small window of opportunity now. There is growth in all EU member states. We have left crisis mode on immigration and the economy. Populists have lost several elections in a row and pro-EU reformers have had a good year so far. We cannot let this opportunity slip. Now is the time for ambitious anti-corruption reforms.
Strategy 2020: Empowered Citizens, an Accountable Europe
Our new strategy "Empowered Citizens, an Accountable Europe" will guide our work in the next four years. This document provides a framework for sustained growth, clarity of focus and greater impact.


Summer is almost here, which means summer picnics and holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are just around the corner. A fun way to get patriotic and decorate for the summer season is to take old pallets and turn them into decorative pieces to celebrate the United States.
Pallets are easy to get for free. I constantly see listings on Craigslist for free pallets. With some paint and a pallet removal tool you will be well on your way to creating beautiful patriotic flag decor.

The uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m.), also known as constant acceleration motion, is a rectilinear motion that has a constant acceleration, which is different from zero. In this section we are going to study:
The concept and properties of the constant acceleration motion
The equations of constant acceleration motion
How to derive the equations
Merton's Theorem
Concept of constant acceleration motion
The constant acceleration motion is quite common in your daily life. An object that is allowed to fall and that does not find any obstacle in its way (free fall), or a skier that descends an incline, just before arriving to the jump area, are good examples of this. The constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) has the following properties:
The trajectory is a straight line and therefore the normal or centripetal acceleration is zero
The instantaneous velocity changes its magnitude (speed) uniformly: it increases or decreases by the same amount in each unit of time. This implies the following point
The tangential acceleration is constant. Therefore average acceleration is the same as instantaneous acceleration for any period studied (a=am )
A body moves with constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) when its trajectory is a straight line and its acceleration is constant and different from 0. This implies that the velocity increases or decreases its magnitude uniformly.
Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion
In our example the car describes a u.a.r.m since it moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration equivalent to 2 m/s2. [Notice that, in each second, the velocity and the distance traveled by the body increase based on the value of the acceleration in the previous second.]
Notice that although colloquially, we make distinction between an accelerating and a braking body, from the point of view of physics, both are uniformly accelerated rectilinear motions. The difference is that while one has positive acceleration, the other one has negative acceleration.
Constant acceleration motion equations
The equations of the constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m.) are:
v=v0+a⋅t
x=x0+v0t+12at2
a=cte
x, x0: Position of the body at a given time (x) and at the initial time (x0). Its unit in the International System (SI) is the meter (m)
v,v0: Velocity of the body at a given time (v) and at the initial time (v0). Its unit in the International System is meter per second (m/s)
a: Acceleration of the body. Remains constant with a value different from 0. Its unit in the International System is meter per second (m/s2)
t: Time being studied. Its unit in the International System is the second (s)
Although the former are the main equations of the u.a.r.m. and the only ones necessary to solve the exercises, it is sometimes useful know the following expression:
v2=v02+2·a·∆x
The above formula allows you to relate velocity and distance traveled if the acceleration is known, and can be deduced from the previous ones, as you can see below.
v=v0+a·tx=x0+v0·t+12·a·t2⇒t=v-v0a∆x=v0·t+12·a·t2⇒∆x=v0v-v0a+12·a·v-v0a2;
2·a·∆x=v2-v02
Deduction of the constant acceleration motion equations
To deduce the equations of constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear movement (u.a.r.m), it must be taken into consideration that:
The normal or centripetal acceleration value is zero: an=0
The average acceleration, instant acceleration and tangential acceleration have the same value: a=aa=at=cst
With these restrictions, we get:
aa=aaa=ΔvΔt=v-v0t-t0=⏟t0=0x-x0t→v-v0=a⋅t→v=v0+a⋅t
This first equation relates velocity of a body with its acceleration at any given time and represents a straight line (v) whose slope is the same as the magnitude of the acceleration and its y coordinate at the origin is the initial velocity (v0). We need to get an equation that allows us to obtain the position. There are different methods to deduce it. We will use the mean speed theorem or Merton rule of uniform acceleration:
"A body with uniformly accelerated motion travels, in any given time, the same distance that would be traveled by a body moving with a constant velocity equal to the average velocity of the first body."
This means that
∆x=va⋅t
The value of the average velocity, when the acceleration is constant, can be clearly observed in the following figure:
va=v+v02
If we develop the equations we have seen so far, we obtain the equation of the position in the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m.):
∆x=x-x0=va⋅t=⏞1v+v02t=⏞2v0+at+v02t=2v0+at2t=22v0t+at22⇒x=x0+v0t+12at2
Where have we applied:
Finally, notice that in the previous equations the motion has been considered in the x-axis. If we move in the y-axis, for example in free fall or vertical launch motions, simply substitute x with y for the position, resulting in the following equation:
y=y0+v0t+12at2
A cyclist starts his morning ride and after 10 seconds his velocity is 7.2 km/h. At that moment, he sees a dog approaching and slows down for 6 seconds until the bicycle stops. Calculate:
a) The acceleration until he begins to slow down.
b) The braking acceleration of the bike.
c) The total distance traveled.
Now... ¡Test yourself!
