Chandigarh: Farmers of Punjab on Tuesday dumped potatoes on a road in Mohali, demanding a remunerative price for their crop.
The protestors here accused the Congress government in Punjab of failing to resolve the farmers' plight.
"Potato growers have been facing losses due to the low prices of the tuber crop. Now farmers are left with no option except to dump potatoes on the roads," said Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal) general secretary Harinder Singh Lakhowal on Tuesday.
Heavy police force was deployed near the Chandigarh-Mohali border to stop the protestors from moving to Chandigarh and gherao the official residence of Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh.
During the protest, the farmers called for exporting potatoes, which they say have no buyers in Punjab even when sold for as little as Rs 1 per kilogram.
"There is a good demand for this crop in other countries and its export will ensure good prices to farmers," said Lakhowal.
Meanwhile, the protest caused a big problem for the commuters, especially two-wheelers, as the road turned slippery because of the dumping of potatoes.
The agitation, which entered its second day on Tuesday, saw the protestors on Monday raising concerns of sugar-cane growers which includes the payment of dues – amounting to Rs 100 crore – by the state government.
"We will continue to hold protest till our demands are met," said Lakhowal.

It took the love of his adopted father, Ray Quinn to pull him back to the straight and narrow path. Ethan Quinn has a peaceful and calm personality. Each such debate always involves one of the Paxmores, with the source of disagreement being rooted in that individual Quaker's beliefs. By Debra Wilhoit on Jul 31, this is a great book.
Blue crab continues to be an especially popular regional specialty. The Caters struggle for a long time, until 'Big Jimbo' Cater becomes a cook for an oyster harvesting skipjack sailing vessel. This sequel to the Chesapeake Bay trilogy is the perfect ending to the story of three brothers who raise their orphaned brother. But then his father died and he was forced to come back home. He liked to think it was just the two-steps-short-of-sloppy state that was holding his luck steady.
He leaves the family he loves and goes to France to get away from her and to keep her away from his family Books This was the magical place where the waters became even wider than those of the Susquehanna, where storms of enormous magnitude churned up waves of frightening power. When he approached the white and leaping water he intended to drag his canoe ashore and portage it a long distance downhill, but as he paddled away from the middle of the river to the safety of the shore, he spotted a course of unbroken, swiftly moving water which twisted and curved over rocks, and in the flash of a paddle he elected to trust his fortunes in the river rather than on the shore. From Sea Swept to Inner Harbor, fans of the series have witnessed his slow transformation, from a belligerent, battered child to a balanced and quick-witted teen with a smart mouth. Getting drawn to Sam Winslow, the hot and recently grieved man hankering for a person to assist him in raising his nephew does nothing to help the situation. Even after the invention of electronic books, I still buy the paper kind, especially for non-fiction.

If this is your first Nora book, I suggest that you read the first three in the saga before reading Chesapeake Blue. They were a warlike tribe, and in the years when they did not come in peace to trade, they came in war canoes to ravage.
But rather than misery, Seth found love in the form of a florist. After months of harassment by Barney, the British landed on the west side of the Patuxent at Benedict, Marylandthe Chesapeake Flotilla was scuttled, and the British trekked overland to burn the U.

Her red-is-the-color-of-sin dress, barely thicker than a coat of paint, made an abrupt halt just south of the Gates of Paradise. Can he overcome this and move forward as his heart yearns for?
However, by the end of the book, at least some of the Turlocks have risen out of poverty. It was released by the Beverly publishers in the year As a child he had watched what happened to men declared outcasts, and he had no desire to experience what they had suffered: the isolation, the scorn, the bitter loneliness.
You'll find your enjoyment of the story even greater having met the secondary characters before. Perhaps Aubrey's tale will be better? She's independent, determined, and a very loving person when you get below the surface. However, I have read the trilogy therefore this book was more meaningful and definitly more sentimental.
Paranormal sightings aside, those few pages were a bona fide scene stealer. Spring tides, when the sun-earth-moon system forms a line, cause the largest tidal amplitudes during lunar monthly tidal variations. On his deathbed, Ray Quinn asks his 3 sons to look after Seth they way he looked after them all these years.
I'm told that even though the characters are fictional, the timing and major points are historically accurate. The meeting will be the evening of December 6th at PM Come at for drinks and dinner. I think most fishermen are. These two ushered in a roadmap to other creative works.

Q: Why does npm rebuild in docker work but npm install doesn't I have a node project that accesses some private repos. When I submit the project to CircleCI with the following config file (inherited from another developer) and the following Dockerfile, the build works. However, if I replace the npm rebuild in the Dockerfile with npm install, the build fails due to not being able to fetch some private repos I'm using. I know (or think I know) this is the case cause if I run the docker image with a shell and remove the private repos from the package.json, npm install works just fine. Here's my assumption of what's going on.

*

*The npm ci in circleCi works because CircleCi has access to our Github SSH keys, and doing this installs the packages in the container this build is running in

*When I run the docker build command AFTER CircleCi runs npm ci, the node_modules already has all the packages I need (due to CircleCi installing them. If this is the case, I guess I technically don't need to do another npm install in the Dockerfile)
2.a This seems like I'm running a docker build (the penultimate "run" command in the circleci config file) within a docker "build" that's defined by the CircleCi config....

*When I run npm install in the Dockerfile, it errs because I can't pull down the private repos due to no SSH access. However, npm rebuild just re-compiles the already installed packages

Is that correct or am I way off? And if that is correct, then I guess if we weren't using any private repos I could just have CircleCi run the build command (ie no npm install, apt get, etc that I'm also doing in the Dockerfile) and use the Dockerfile as the "config" rather than having essentially the same config defined in the circleci.yaml file, yeah?
And yes, I know I can clean up that Dockerfile a bit... Just want to get an understanding of what's going on first.
Hope that's somewhat clear and thanks in advance for any clarification.

As he was sitting to one side, King Pasenadi Kosala said to the Blessed One: "Just now, lord, while I was alone in seclusion, this train of thought arose in my awareness: 'Few are those people in the world who, when acquiring lavish wealth, don't become intoxicated and heedless, don't become greedy for sensual pleasures, and don't mistreat other beings. Many more are those who, when acquiring lavish wealth, become intoxicated and heedless, become greedy for sensual pleasures, and mistreat other beings.'"
"That's the way it is, great king! That's the way it is! Few are those people in the world who, when acquiring lavish wealth, don't become intoxicated and heedless, don't become greedy for sensual pleasures, and don't mistreat other beings. Many more are those who, when acquiring lavish wealth, become intoxicated and heedless, become greedy for sensual pleasures, and mistreat other beings."

The best antivirus software and security apps for small businesses. Not stopping malware, viruses and other cyber attacks can crush your business.
By Rebecca BaldridgeContributing editor@rebeccabaldridg
In our increasingly digitized world, businesses of every size face cybersecurity threats, and the need to prepare for those threats - particularly when it comes to maintaining antivirus software - is inarguable. The Business Continuity Institute (BCI), a global organization for business continuity professionals with more than 8,000 members, characterizes digital threats as the gravest risk facing companies today. The Institute's annual Horizon Scan Report notes that cyberattacks, data breaches and network outages are the top concerns among business continuity professionals when they discuss the risks their companies face.
MIT released its predictions of the types of cyber security threats small businesses need to be most concerned about in 2018. Among them are more breeches of massive consumer databases like Equifax, a phenomenon MIT estimates will only become more common this year. This impacts not just Equifax as a big company, but consumers and small businesses across the country because of the amount of data compromised. And it points out how easy it can be for a smaller company's database to get breached as well.
Another concern is ransomware in cloud-based technology. Any company or individual who has information stored on cloud technology could be at risk if hackers get access to the cloud and hold that data hostage. Plus, MIT points out that AI systems could be compromised or even weaponized in 2018. As AI becomes better at imitating real people online, hackers will have new ways to trick unsuspecting users into installing malicious software on their companies' computers.
Finally, MIT pointed out the potential of cyber-physical attacks, such as those targeting electrical grids, and the mining of cryptocurrencies, which can actually translate into theft of computer processing power.
Large corporations can spend millions defending themselves against cyberattacks. Most small companies, however, don't have those kinds of resources, resulting in many business owners looking for inexpensive or even free antivirus software solutions. Sadly, many settle for less-than-optimal solutions, and some aren't taking sufficient steps to protect themselves.
A recent CNBC/Survey Monkey Small Business Survey found that only 2% of small business owners surveyed viewed the risk of a cyberattack as the most critical issue they face. Another study, the 2016 State of SMB Security, revealed more disturbing figures:
More than half of all small- to medium-sized businesses have been breached in the past 12 months
The most prevalent attacks against small businesses are web-based and phishing/social engineering
More than half (59%) of small- to medium-sized businesses have no visibility into employee password practices and hygiene
More than half (57%) of companies may have a password policy, but they don't strictly enforce it
Many small business owners are operating under the mistaken impression that because they're small, their business is of no interest to hackers. However, the converse is true. Some hackers focus on small businesses precisely because they lack the defenses that large corporations have constructed. A small company can be a juicy target. For example, retailers have customer credit card data and personal financial information. Once a computer or network has been infected with malware, hackers can commandeer company systems to perpetrate other attacks on larger partner companies. And let's not forget ransomware. Once the nefarious enemy has infiltrated your system, hackers can freeze company data and demand a large payment to release it. Since many small businesses don't backup their data consistently, they'll have no choice other than to pay up.
These kinds of attacks can be devastating for a small company. Cisco's 2017 Annual Cybersecurity Report notes 38% of companies that experienced a breach lost more than 20% of revenues, while 40% lost more than 20% of their customers. Given the enormous expense and damage that a cyber attack can inflict, choosing the right antivirus software program is a vital decision.
We've reviewed a number of the software offerings on the market. The array of choices can be dizzying, but we've identified some of the best antivirus providers for small- to medium-sized companies. We'll give you the pros, cons and bottom line on some of the best-known names in antivirus software so you can make the right decision to keep your business safe from digital predators.
Trend Micro's OfficeScan 12.0: Best Antivirus Software for Small Businesses
Trend Micro's OfficeScan 12.0 was one of just three software solutions to get perfect scores in AV-Test.org's July and August, 2017, reviews of top security solutions. OfficeScan scored 100% in detecting zero-day and malware attacks, including web and email threats. It also received perfect scores in detection of widespread and prevalent malware discovered in the four weeks prior to testing. Trend Micro OfficeScan also had perfect scores when it came to usability and performance.
OfficeScan is available for Windows and Macs, as well as Android and Apple operating systems, and even has a free trial available to download from the company's website. After that, Trend Micro's standard, on-premise or hosted security solutions start at $37.75 per year per user and provide the following protections:
Shields against ransomware
Monitors, updates, and protects all of your computers automatically
Blocks employee access to inappropriate websites
Prevents infections from USB storage devices
Sets up easily and updates automatically
Provides complete user security for everyone on staff
OfficeScan's advanced security solutions start at $59.87 per user per year for hosted solutions and $62.02 for on-premise solutions. These advanced solutions include the following features:
Support Microsoft Office 365 using Trend Micro Hosted Email Security
Protect Microsoft Exchange email servers
Require no server or maintenance
Shield against ransomware
Block malicious email attachments in real time
Block access to inappropriate websites
Protect mobile devices
Panda Endpoint Protection Plus: Best Antivirus Software for Small Businesses that Need Flexible Options
Panda Endpoint Protection Plus has nearly every option a small business could want, with a variety of features in both security and management. Importantly, Panda offers extensive 24/7 customer support and assistance, including a live chat function. AV-Test.org scores for protection and usability are close to perfect, but some users report it can slow your system if you are running programs that use a lot of temporary resources. Features include internet protection, web site blocking, and email protection as well as firewall monitoring and anti-theft feature that can lock or wipe clean a device that's been stolen or lost. You can use cloud or on-premises hosting, although with the latter option you may need more equipment and more IT expertise in-house. Both options give you a centralized management dashboard that makes it easy to see network activity, view reports for individual computers, and create customized user categories and security policies. For example, you might not want all of your employees enjoying access to Facebook and other time-wasting social media during business hours, but this access may be necessary for employees in roles like sales or marketing. Endpoint plus costs $84.58 per user annually, but Endpoint Protection offers a lot of features with the same AV-Test scores for $59.90 per user. However, according to Top Ten Reviews, 5-user packages are available for $190 annually. It's probably wise to speak with a representative to understand the best pricing options for the features you need.
G Data AntiVirus Business: Best Antivirus Software for Small Businesses That Need Advanced Security Features
If advanced security is the most important feature in choosing an antivirus program, then G Data AntiVirus Business is a solid option. The downside is that the product can be both difficult and time consuming to install. If you don't have in-house IT support, you may need outside assistance in both installing the software and for ongoing management. The plethora of features for users includes internet and email protection, spam blocking, and the ability to block particular categories of web sites. A robust firewall will filter network traffic and block any pernicious attempts to gain access to your network. Anti-theft protection is available for most devices, and will enable you to lock or wipe devices that have vanished. A file shredder is available to permanently erase deleted files that still exist on the device. You also get online banking and browser protection, defense against manipulated USB devices, anti-ransomware and more. Pricing information isn't available online, so you'll have to contact a company representative to get a quote.
To find the best antivirus software for small businesses, we began by talking to business owners themselves, as well as some of the IT professionals who advise them. We asked them to talk about their choice of antivirus software, what features are the most important to them, what informed their choice of provider, what they love about their current antivirus software, and what they think is missing. Cost is always a consideration, but users are typically concerned with protection and performance as well as ease of use. Ariana Meyers, owner of Right at Home, a Marin County, California provider of in-home care for senior citizens, noted that price and reputation were a deciding factor in her choice of Norton Symantec. "Norton came in at a good price point for a multi-user license, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy to change which devices are protected, which is very helpful as we continue to expand," she told us.
We also did extensive research online, reading hundreds of consumer reviews and complaints, and poring through numerous review web sites. Then we narrowed down our list of antivirus programs to the most commonly mentioned names.
With the short list of 12 antivirus programs in hand, we scrutinized each company's website to compare and contrast the options offered. We watched their tutorial videos and reviewed the customer resources offered by each.
Based on our research, we developed these criteria, which we used to evaluate each provider:
AV-Test scores
Impact on system speed and performance
Protection against malware
Detection of malware
Incidents of false positives
Frequency of updates
Cloud-based vs. on-premises
Customer service options
More Antivirus Options for Small Businesses
Kaspersky Small Office Security 5.0 was another security solution to receive perfect scores from AV-Test. So why didn't it make our top picks? Kaspersky has been in the news recently following a discovery that hackers sponsored by the Russian government had breached the software two years ago. According to reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post, Kaspersky software installed on an NSA employee's home computer had identified NSA-created malware and issued the appropriate alerts. These hackers gained access to the Kaspersky alert and used the information in an attempt to gather data on U.S. intelligence programs. Last month the U.S. government made a decision to stop using the firm's software, and several retailers, including Best Buy, opted to remove the product from their shelves.
That said, the software stopped 100% of malware attacks as well as the new threat of zero-day attacks, which exploit security holes in software that are as yet unknown to the vendor. The software's detection of widespread and prevalent malware discovered in the four weeks prior to testing came in at 99.9%.
Kaspersky also achieved a perfect score in usability and in performance.
Bitdefender Endpoint Security 6.2 gets near-perfect scores across the board from AV-Test and is a great choice for small businesses that don't need to worry about mobile device management or other bells and whistles, but do want the most robust level of security. Installation can be a bear, but the dashboard is easy to use. The biggest downside is that the software doesn't offer device location services for lost or stolen phones, and there's no file shredder. See our Bitdefender Endpoint Security review.
Sophos Endpoint Protection is a good option in that it supports all platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile devices. However, AV-Test scores were lower than some other contenders when it comes to performance and usability.
ESET Endpoint Security offers a full range of features and is an excellent option for identifying and blocking nastiness like Trojans, adware, viruses and the cornucopia of malware that lurks in the ether. There are two negatives, however, that gave us pause. First, the downloading and installation process can be very challenging. The software can also have a negative impact on system performance.
McAfee Endpoint Security 10.5 is available only in the Cloud. The management features are convenient and the protection robust, but the software is a resource drain and gets a 5/6 from AV-Test for performance. However, cloud hosting makes management a lot easier and McAfee has extensive resources to help users, including 24/7 support in the form of phone, email and live chat options. There's also a helpful online knowledge base that may answer enough questions to let you avoid any customer service contact.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business received nearly perfect scores from AV-Test, and is available on-premise or in the Cloud. SEP offers high functionality, but the selection of available features doesn't rival many other options on the market. For example, the software offers email protection for only Lotus Notes and Outlook.
F-Secure Client Security 12.31 scored well in AV-TEST's review except in performance, where it received just 4/6 because it caused slower load times for web pages as well as slower installation of frequently used applications.

Last year the United Nations adopted its post-2015 agenda, setting out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to tackle contemporary global challenges by 2030. One of them was to halve per capita food waste at the retail and consumer level by 2030, and reduce food losses along the food production and supply chains.
According to the latest data, 70% of EU food waste arises in the household, food service and retail sectors, with the production and processing sectors contributing the remaining 30%.
In a recent interview with EURACTIV, former European Commissioner for Environment Janez Potočnik said that the transformation of our current economic model could bring great opportunities both for our economies and for our quality of life.
Every food producer should help make agriculture sustainable, Janez Potočnik told EURACTIV.com.
"Whilst the Sustainable Development Goals are designed to benefit the entire world, all countries have the responsibility to make the plan a reality and their achievement should be at the very heart of European policy development," he said.
Food waste takes centre stage in the EU's ambitious Circular Economy plan, which includes legislative proposals on waste to stimulate Europe's transition towards a circular economy. The Communication on Circular Economy called on the Commission to establish a platform dedicated to food waste prevention bringing together member states and all actors in the food chain.
According to the EU executive, approximately 88 million tons of food are wasted annually in the EU, with associated costs estimated at €143 billion.
The EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste (FLW) aims to support all actors in defining measures needed to prevent food waste, sharing best practice and evaluating the progress made over time.
The FLW Platform is an informal Commission expert group, which will be composed of a maximum of 70 members representing the public and private sectors. It will include competent authorities from member states, EU umbrella organisations and federations involved in food waste prevention, NGOs, and EU bodies (e.g. Committee of Regions).
Chaired by a representative of the European Commission, the Platform will meet at least twice a year. Its main goal will be to assist the Commission "in identifying and prioritising actions to be taken at EU level in order to prevent food losses and food waste". It will also help other member states identify and implement appropriate actions to take on a national, regional and local level.
In 2050, over 9 billion people will live on this planet and feeding them will be a challenge. Increasing food availability has always been the main solution to achieve a food secured future.
According to the terms, the Platform will adopt its opinions, recommendations or reports by consensus.
In the event of a vote, the outcome of the vote shall be decided by simple majority of the members with those who have voted against shall have the right to have the reasons for their position recorded in the meeting report.
Annabelle Williams, managing director of RISE Foundation, an independent foundation whose main objective is to support a sustainable and internationally competitive rural economy across Europe, welcomed this "next step" in the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy.
"The COP 21 Paris Agreement on Climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals have helped highlight the urgent need for systematic change in our food production and consumption systems," Williams told euractiv.com. She added that the only way to address the unacceptably high levels of food waste in Europe is to bring stakeholders together from across the food chain.
Stakeholders do not work in isolation, she said, but are rather part of a highly complex and inter-dependent chain, so systematic change can only come about if it is collective.
"From the production perspective, we need strong policy development that targets investment in innovation, knowledge transfer and structural change to help farmers to adapt their farming practices and become more resource use efficient," she said.
"But we also need a greater investment and acceptance in managing unavoidable waste more effectively and so enabling the return of scarce nutrients back to our soils and the reduction of environmental pollution," she added.
Milan's Mayor, Giuliano Pisapi, recently told EURACTIV that food was at the core of some of our greatest problems, but at the same time, a vital part of their solution.
"That's why 120 cities from all over the world have signed the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, joining forces to build more sustainable urban food systems," he stressed, adding that improving urban areas' food culture and food systems will be fundamental in the next decades.
"It is therefore crucial that urban food strategies become a priority theme not only in the European Union, but at the global level. In October, in Quito, the New Urban Agenda will be adopted. We shall not lose the opportunity to change the future of our cities starting from food," Pisapia added.
Cities across the world should improve their food culture and systems in order to adjust to the planet's contemporary needs, Milan's Mayor, Giuliano Pisapia, told EURACTIV.com.

Jefferson warns about the rise of an "Anglo-Monarchio-Aristocratic party" in America (1797)
From: The Works, vol. 8 (Correspondence 1793-1798) (Thomas Jefferson)
By: Thomas Jefferson
Theme: Revolution
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), in a letter to Phillip Mazzei, warns that a resurgent "Anglo-Monarchio-Aristocratic party" has arisen in America which wished to restore the political and economic practices of the British Empire:
Our political situation is prodigiously changed since you left us. Instead of that noble love of liberty, and that republican government, which carried us triumphantly thro the dangers of the war, an Anglo-Monarchio-Aristocratic party has arisen. Their avowed object is to impose on us the substance, as they have already given us the form, of the British government. Nevertheless, the principal body of our citizens remain faithful to republican principles. All our proprietors of lands are friendly to those principles, as also the mass of men of talents. We have against us the Executive Power, the Judiciary Power, all the officers of government, all who are seeking offices, all timid men who prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty, the British merchants and the Americans who trade on British capitals, the speculators, persons interested in the bank and the public funds. Establishments invented with views of corruption, and to assimilate us to the British model in its corrupt parts.
Florence, January 1, 1797.
I should give you a fever, if I should name the apostates who have embraced these heresies; men who were Solomons in council, and Samsons in combat, but whose hair has been cut off by the whore England.
They would wrest from us the liberty which we have obtained by so much labor and peril; but we shall preserve it. Our mass of weight and riches is so powerful, that we have nothing to fear from any attempt against us by force. It is sufficient that we guard ourselves, and that we break the lilliputian ties by which they have bound us, in the first slumbers which succeeded our labors. It suffices that we arrest the progress of that system of ingratitude and injustice towards France, from which they would alienate us, to bring us under British influence, &c.
In this provocative and controversial letter to Phillip Mazzei Jefferson is very open in his criticism of the direction in which American politics was heading in 1797. The harshness of his language offended many people including George Washington. Among his criticisms are the following, that those who worked for the government had become mere "place-seekers" who were more interested in their jobs than serving the people, that a new and powerful group of people had arisen who benefited from lending money to the government and its bank, and that too many people in the capital had become "timid men who prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty." In spite of these problems Jefferson was hopeful that the bulk of the American people still adhered to the republican principles which had made the American Revolution possible and that the new "Anglo-Monarchio-Aristocratic party" which was trying to rebuild in America the British system of privilege and corruption would ultimately be defeated. In his mind, the American people had briefly gone to sleep after the exertions of the Revolution thus giving opponents of liberty an opportunity to bind the people down with "lilliputian ties". However, Jefferson believed the American Gulliver would awaken and cast off these ropes and assume its rightful place in the world.

FNP Visits the Mission for the FDC
To mark the first year of the FDC, the Frederick News Post stopped by the Mission and covered stories from clients and Mission staff.
Archive January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021


A bucket is a holder for keys and values.
There are three different buckets. Each Workflow has their own global bucket where the values are kept even if Corbit is stopped. There is also a temporary bucket, which is created for each object that is handled. Finally there are System buckets.
Object bucket features are very powerful and may be useful when one action needs to use information from another action.
An object's bucket lifetime starts when an object is detected in a source and is started, and handled by a Workflow, and then ends when all the actions have been executed. This means that for each object that is handled in a Workflow a new bucket is created.
The bucket's data is shared among the Actions in which are invoked on the object. Values that are put into the bucket can be used by any action that is performed after the value is put into the bucket.
As an addition to the Object Bucket, Corbit uses Workflow Buckets. The Workflow bucket is a more static bucket where the values will be saved with the Workflow even if Corbit is shut down. For example, the Workflow bucket may be used to have a running number or an internal log.
System buckets are set in a separate menu since these buckets can be used by any workflow.
System buckets are similar to Workflow buckets but may be shared between workflows. Examples of System bucket uses may be set a server location or a server host name. The server location/name may then be used in multiple sources or actions. If the server is changed the change will only be necessary to do in one location, the system bucket value.


If your site transacts business, you need a secure server. Secure servers require an added level of vigilance to ensure that each transaction goes through and that the data is all kept safe. In one 12-month period, Digital Phenom processed 6,000 transactions totaling $2.75 million and completed 99.9992% successfully.

West Acton Primary win Big Pedal
Congratulations to West Acton Primary School on winning the Sustrans Big Pedal 2015 competition in Ealing.
Big Pedal challenges schools across the country to make the most journeys by bike or scooter during a set period. The school that makes the biggest shift, in proportion to its size, wins. The aim of the competition is to encourage more children and parents to leave their cars at home; reducing congestion and car emissions.
In total, 10 Ealing schools took part in the competition. West Acton Primary School came top after achieving 1,680 journeys by bike or scooter over 10 days in March. The competition, along with a travel plan put together by the council and the school, has produced some permanent changes. Now 16% of children cycle to school (previously 7%) and 43% are never driven to school (previously 15%). The council want to encourage more schools to take part next year. If you would like your school to get involved, there is more information on the Sustrans Big Pedal page.
On 7 July 2015, the children at West Acton Primary received their prize - a stunt display at the school from the MAD cycle display team.

The Railroad: 1920s–1980s
The Taylor property became a rail yard in the 1920's, when Southern Pacific Railroad outgrew its Midway Yard facility. Major development on the Taylor Yard site occurred in the early 30's with construction of the south turntable, machine shops and other related buildings. Its primary purpose was a freight-switching facility where freight cars were combined and re-routed to different destinations. For a time, some estimate that Southern Pacific Railroad employed nearly 75% of the workforce in the surrounding communities.
The intense use and activity at Taylor Yard began to change in the 1960's as Southern Pacific re-routed its north-south trains through the Cajon Pass instead of through downtown Los Angeles. With the completion of the West Colton Yard in 1973, the necessity for Taylor Yard operations also changed. In 1985, Taylor Yard closed its long-standing purpose as a freight switching facility. This change also caused a loss of several hundred jobs to residents of the local communities.
As the need for operating space diminished, the Southern Pacific Railroad decided to sell roughly 3/4 of the site. They relocated the rail line away from its alignment along San Fernando Road and towards the LA River. Then they proceeded to parcel out the land for sale. Working with the Dept. of Toxic Substance Control, (under Cal-EPA) they undertook an extensive analysis of the contaminated soils and developed an action plan for remediation. Clean up was completed on the initial sale parcels in 1997 and the DTSC certified that the land required no development restrictions.

A Metrolink Maintenance Facility was the first new use developed on 29 acres at the southernmost end of Taylor Yard. The project moved forward without public review and the community voiced their outrage. A lawsuit was filed which resulted in the Los Angeles County Transportation Authority agreeing to fund several mitigations to the project: the large mural on the side of the building, the plantings along San Fernando Road and the public art project located along the access road. An agreement was also reached for the agency to fund a future pedestrian bridge over the river.

Is nobody else worried?
by Maria Wirth
May 8, 2021 May 8, 2021 384
"Maria, don't make your view on mass vaccination public", an Indian friend advised me. "You will spoil your reputation and nobody will listen anyway". He probably is right, but since I am very worried about what's happening, and trust my reason and intuition, I feel I need to write…
Suppose, we have a problem and believe, we found a method to solve it. Most experts agree that it is the best method, yet there are also experts who claim it will make things worse.
We use the method. Soon after, the problem gets bigger. We push the method even stronger. Yet the problem still gets worse.
Should we not pause and consider the arguments of those who had warned against using this method?
Yet this is not done. Doctors and scientists, who come on Indian TV, still don't acknowledge that there could be a correlation between the present steep increase in deaths from Covid19 and the mass vaccination drive. This increase in deaths is seen drastically in other Asian countries after they started vaccinating widely. Please check the charts of Thailand, Cambodia or Mongolia.
Even in Chile and Turkey, which have already vaccinated a great part of their population, the deaths are increasing. Chile has fully vaccinated over 30 per cent of its population and close to 70 percent got at least one dose, yet the deaths on April 25 would mean over 7000 deaths in the Indian population context. In Turkey, too, over 25 percent got at least one dose and about 10 percent are fully vaccinated. Yet the deaths are higher than before the start of vaccination and would be over 5000 in the Indian context.
Israel is declared a success (apart from many thousands of reported side effects of the huge vaccination drive), but emergency restrictions are still in force. Moreover, recent reports on CNBC, Reuters, etc. claim that the South African variant is able to break through the Pfizer vaccine.
Specific versus broad based immunity
The critics of mass vaccination had warned that the vaccine induced immunity is specific for the original Corona virus, while our innate, natural immunity is broad based, which means it can tackle different variants of the virus. Virologist and vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche warned that a vaccination drive, while the virus is all over, forces the virus into more dangerous mutations and for the vaccinated, the specific immunity outperforms their innate immunity.
Not surprisingly in the present climate of intolerance on social media, Geert Vanden Bossche and many others, who are not in agreement with the WHO view, are defamed. "Why this guy is dead wrong" is the first video that shows up when googling his name on YouTube, calling the head of reputed vaccine development institutions with great credentials as "guy".
Incidentally, when googling my name, the first article which shows up is also titled "Why Maria Wirth is wrong" (regarding my views on Hinduism). "Wrong" doesn't mean wrong here. It means "politically incorrect".
Usually, I write only on Hindu Dharma and religion, but l had followed the news on Corona from the start and noticed many strange happenings.
Some observations and questions
Why was from the start, the "Corona pandemic" so much hyped by the media worldwide?
Do you remember the horrendous pictures of people dropping dead in China? How they brutally enforced a lockdown in Wuhan? Built hospitals in record time, etc.? TV channels created panic 24/7. Or do you remember the rows of hundreds of coffins in Bergamo/ Italy? It was a fake picture. The bodies in the coffins were of migrants who had drowned. What was the intention to mislead?
And what was the intention to flood us daily with cumulative numbers of 'cases', without saying how many were asymptomatic or had just a light flu? Or how many of those who died had co-morbidities'? (97 percent in Bergamo) And what was their average age? (in Bergamo over 80 years}.
Imagine, we would hear daily in great detail the numbers of those who had died and were injured in road accidents all over the country. We would be afraid to travel. Incidentally, about the same number of Indians died in road accidents in 2019 (150,000 and mostly young) as the number given for Corona deaths in 2020. We cannot save every life. Some risk is inherent in living.
There are many more unanswered questions:
Why did several countries, not allow doctors to treat Corona with Hydroxychloroquine? A few days after India had generously lifted the export ban on this drug on the request by President Trump, media reported that according to a study in Lancet, "double the number of patients died who took HCQ". Lancet took down the article. It was not true, but it had created confusion.
Why nobody tells us that the PCR test has many false positives when the amplifying cycles go above 25 and that this test must not be used for diagnosis? In January 2021 the WHO finally acknowledged this fact. Yet on the basis of PCR test results, the panic was sustained, and asymptomatic, healthy people had to observe quarantine.
Why does the definition of a Corona death not include causality? A death is counted as "from or with Corona", when the person had tested positive and had died within 4 weeks of testing. A German doctor gave an example: when a person gets the news that he is positive and jumps out of the window, he is counted as Corona death.
Why did governments in several countries incentivize doctors and hospitals to declare deaths as from Corona and to do PCR testing? Even if someone was very old, had terminal cancer, but had tested positive, Corona overrode the other factors as cause for death.
Yet reluctance…
Compare this with the reluctance or refusal to connect deaths with the vaccine, even if it happened a few hours afterwards. In homes for senior citizens in Europe, many seniors died soon after vaccination. They suddenly tested positive after vaccination and were counted as Corona deaths. That there could have been a dip in the immunity due to vaccination, is not considered.
And a VERY important question:
Why did the WHO change its definition of "pandemic" in 2009 and removed the dead and sick from it? Earlier, an enormous number of dead and sick people was the condition for declaring a pandemic. Since 2009 it is enough that a virus spreads quickly. Whether people die or are sick is no longer a criterion for pandemic. Sounds strange? It surely does.
How it developed over time
Already in March 2020, several doctors and scientists spoke out on YouTube that Corona is not that dangerous, and many of those videos were taken down. President Trump also called it a bad flu and got a storm of heaviest criticism in return. Estimates by academic institutions spoke of millions of dead if the countries wouldn't lock down. Governments probably didn't want to risk being responsible for millions of deaths, in case those estimates were right.
In April 2020, Bill Gates declared that he wants to vaccinate seven billion people. Angela Merkel repeated it in February 2021, "The pandemic will not end, until the world is vaccinated."
Yet in September 2020, the lethality was said to be 0,37 percent, similar to Influenza. And the German bureau of statistics did not record significantly more deaths for the year 2020 than in earlier years.
So was the "solution" to the pandemic discovered by politicians like Angela Merkel and "philanthropist" Bill Gates who is a massive sponsor of the WHO and massively invested in the vaccine business?
Where were the scientists?
Many scientists were probable busy searching for vaccines. Ever since President Trump jumped on the mass vaccination bandwagon, countries jostled to get their share of the big pie.
Meanwhile in China
Yet something was strange. While the world was in panic and locked down, China had miraculously overcome the pandemic in record time and closed the new hospitals. We could watch on TV how the nurses took off their masks and smiled while walking out.
And India…
India had relatively few cases and deaths in the first 5 months, even though media did its best to make the situation appear worse. When several people were infected in Dharavi, the greatest slum in Mumbai, media painted a doomsday scenario. Dharavi was locked down, and there was NO doomsday. Later I read in the paper, that 57 per cent of the population of Dharavi had antibodies. It meant they had contracted the virus without noticing it, and that certain herd immunity was acquired due to the impossibility of distancing. In comparison, in a gated community, only 18 percent had antibodies after having been a containment zone, the paper wrote.
Epidemiologist: Lockdowns, masks prolong an epidemic
So what should we conclude from this? Is it not an indicator that lockdown, masks and distancing are counterproductive? Epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski claims that attempts to stop the spread of the virus like lockdowns, masks only prolong the epidemic and also lead to a dangerous diversification of the virus.
Since we can't eliminate the virus, don't we need to live with it? And shouldn't we find out who is foremost in danger of dying from it and protect those, mainly the old and sick? And shouldn't we all strengthen our innate immunity?
In the beginning, we were indeed encouraged to strengthen our immunity with Ayurveda, Pranayama, Kadha, Haldi, etc. Yet this advice is meanwhile completely missing in official broadcasts. Why? Now it's only about masks, distancing, and vaccination. Is this not a sad climb down by India which has great knowledge how to boost immunity?
Comment by former chief scientist of Pfizer
Why was this done? Was it done because Bill Gates and Big Pharma had "convinced" politicians worldwide that a vaccine for the whole world must be the solution? Prominent scientists warned of this solution. The former chief scientist of Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yaedon said that "there is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. "I've never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren't at risk from the disease. You also don't set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn't been extensively tested on human subjects," Yeadon said.
Yet those critical voices were silenced. A friend of mine tried to put his comment on facebook and was immediately informed that her post is not visible and she needs to remove it.
Is Yeadon not right that it is nonsense to vaccinate the "world", 7 billion people including children, against a virus which had killed for example in Thailand with its 70 million inhabitants only 60 people in the whole of 2020? Now, after about 1 million jabs, the number rose to 163. Should this not worry us?
Take Africa:
The whole of Africa with the exception of South Africa, had till April 2021 relatively few deaths (South Africa 54,000 and 66,000 the rest). There is presently no rise, but a slight dip and vaccinations are still few. But WHO wants to ramp them up.
Now look at India.
Till February 2021, the virus killed 150,000 (many of them had comorbidities) of average 9 million dying every year, or 1,6 percent of the total deaths. Moreover, the maximum deaths occurred in only one state Maharashtra, and it would need an enquiry, what was the reason for this abnormality.
The Indian population has generally good immunity. The virus seemed to have petered out, just when the vaccination started, and 2nd and 3rd waves were expected not being so dangerous any longer.
But India also has a very strong Pharma sector. Did India decide to vaccinate its population because the government genuinely believes that it is the best solution? The opposition Congress, too, wants to vaccinate Indians as fast as possible. It is rare that government and opposition are on the same page. Should this be celebrated or is it reason for worry?
Or is India as a member of the WHO bound by their guidelines since the WHO has "normative authority". Lawyers here probably could clarify.
Now the all-important question:
Could it be that the policy of mass vaccination is wrong? (I hope that asking this question is still allowed?)
More and more harmful side effects of all vaccines become known and people become wary. The German Home Minister said "those who have the courage should come forward and take the AstraZeneka vaccine" after it had been temporarily suspended. Norway and Denmark banned it. In the USA, vaccination fatigue set in. The vaccine by Johnson and Johnson was suspended. In Africa, the WHO counters "misinformation" about the vaccine.
Safe and effective?
Yet in India, almost all seems to be convinced that only the vaccine can save us and it is "absolutely safe and effective".
This surely cannot be said for a vaccine that was developed in a hurry, where trials are still going on, where long-term effects are not known, where the companies are not liable for any damages to one's health. Moreover, most of those vaccines are not normal vaccines but try to influence the behavior of genes. And while even normal vaccines take average 8 years to be developed, this new gen technology was developed in a record time and claims are made that it is even effective against new mutants.
Appeal to the WHO by scientist
Geert Vanden Bossche made an emotional appeal to the WHO: "Please stop the mass vaccination immediately". European scientists have filed cases at the European Court for annulment of the emergency use approval for the vaccines and asked for urgent hearing.
Meanwhile the vaccination drive all over the world continues at a rapid pace and the deaths are increasing. We don't hear, how many of those who are dying now of Corona, had already taken a jab. In Europe, there were many.
Terrifying prognosis
Many governments locked down in March 2020, when terrifying estimates of millions of deaths were circulating.
Now, too, there is a terrifying prognosis given by eminent scientists like Dr. Bossche, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and others that the virus may go out of control due to the human interference with the vaccination drive. Without human intervention, it would be expected that the virus would gradually mutate into more infectious but less dangerous variants.
What if these scientists are right? Can governments risk the lives of their people?
I wished, India would remember her great, beneficial, long-proven Ayurveda. Common people do. I never saw such rush at the Patanjali shop as recently before a new, limited lockdown.
But will Big Pharma, Big Tech, China and the China friendly WHO let this happen?
That's why I am very worried…

Celebrating in Dharavi
Uncategorized February 26, 2009 by wade
Mardi Gras Day, New Orleans
I am hardly a Hollywood groupie, but given ACORN International's work in Dharavi, the Mumbai mega-slum, that was one of the "stars" of the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, I couldn't claim to be disinterested. Furthermore, ACORN India put on a different kind of Oscar-watch party in Dharavi that has now been widely reported in Mumbai newspapers and elsewhere, so let's celebrate!
Here's one story from the paper, Mid-Day:
Dharavi band celebrates with Rahman numbers
By: Manish Gaekwad
Any reference to Slumdog Millionaire will not seem out of place in Dharavi. In fact, so glaringly in-your-face is the similarity that you can't help wondering if the place is throbbing with the sort of spirit the people in the film display. Fierce, defiant and picking on life with relish.
A rag-tag bunch of college kids from the slums, who call themselves the Sout Dandy Squad, celebrated their glum-slum identity which has conquered the Oscars. ACORN India, a community-based non-profit organisation, which with its Dharavi Project, works with waste collectors, hosted a terrace party last evening where the five-member band took on the stage with their rap and Rahman nod.
Jai Ho! has become a cult anthem of sorts in the slums. Every kid identifies with it as a code and as a theme to rise above the risible in daily life.
Lead rapper of the band Slim Styler has composed a Recycle, a ditty which is punctuated with the philosophy of how these boys and their families living in the gutters recycle life. It is a tribute to their slow, but significant rise from ignominy. The band has every reason to believe they could be the dark horse in the long run, as ACORN and the Dharavi Project is helping them tap into their own inner voice to be heard out loud and clear.

Chips, fries, call them what you will. All fries are not created equal. This Carrot and Sweet Potato 'Fries' with Spicy Peanut Sauce recipe takes all of the good bits of traditional fries – the starchy veg, the crunch, seasoning – and makes them ten times better for you without sacrifice. There's no frying, and the carbs in these veg are more complex for more even blood sugar levels.
I am not a massive carrot fan, and so when I used to buy a large bag, I often ended up with them feeling unloved, wrapped in newspaper in the dark bottom drawer. Now that I have made this recipe, they're the first thing that gets eaten from my market shop.
The peanut sauce is for me the most gorgeous counterpoint to the earthy fries, though I bet they'd be good with ketchup too.
The fries won't be very crunchy if you crowd them, or cook anything else in the oven. They need a really dry atmosphere to crisp up, and anything else will make the oven steamy.
Cut your potatoes and carrots up. I don't peel because I don't believe in peeling fruit & veg… But you can if you want. Resist the urge to cut the potatoes into triangular 'wedge shapes' – this leads to blackened edges and soggy bits. Instead, imagine that you are putting your potato through a sharp grid, like they make chips in a chip shop. Chunky chips, about 1.5-2cm wide with 4 sides are what you want. Imagine your carrots in squared-off batons.
Toss just the potatoes in a bowl with 2/3 of the oil and a good shake of salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking tray, giving them plenty of room on the sheet.
Cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the carrot sticks in the rest of the oil in the same bowl you coated the potatoes in, and a new shake of seasoning.
Take your potatoes out, and turn them with a fish slice. Add the carrots to the same tray, still allowing as much room as possible between the batons. If there isn't enough room, put them on a separate tray.
Cook for 10-15 more minutes. Ovens and vegetables vary, so keep a close eye on them the first time or you'll end up with cinders.
1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl using a fork, then add enough water to make it a good dipping consistency for the chips.
Ohhhh yum. These look great! I've never had much success making any form of fries – mainly because I'm never quite sure if the oil is hot enough, prematurely dropping the chips into the tepid oil, and inevitably ending up with limp potato sogginess. Oven-baked sounds like a much better idea and carrot and sweet potato makes a nice change too!


Batman Damned is top dog this week taking up the first two slots. With gorgeous art by Lee Bermejo it is easy to see why. Cemetery Beach from Image also has collector's eyes with three of the four covers making the list. Stalwarts like Venom, Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Wolverine, and Hulk pretty much fill up the rest of the spots. Good week for Marvel sales. Man-Eaters #1 from Image also makes the list, I do want to check this out myself, however we have a very strict no glitter rule in my house and not sure the Glitter Variant will be coming home with me. One variant that will be coming home with me is the Catwoman #3 Artgerm cover. That's just a great looking book and one of the reasons Artgerm is so well liked. Oh, and let's not forget that incredible Mark Brookes Detective Variant.

CANADA's MILITARY STILL WANTS THE F/A-18 SUPER HORNET
There is a gap, and it needs to be filled: some of Canada's CF-18s are almost 40 years old and are coming to the end of their operational life
Canada's top general, Jonathan Vance, told Reuters that the military is still pushing for the purchase of the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighters despite a dispute with Boeing over Bombardier C Series narrow-body airliners.
"There is a gap, and it needs to be filled," said Vance referring to Canada's aging fleet of 77 CF-18s. Some of the fighters in fact are almost 40 years old and are coming to the end of their operational life.
As we have already reported Canada was involved in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program development since 1997 and on Jul. 16 2010, the Government of Canada under Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced its intention to buy 65 F-35s to replace the Canadian Forces' existing 80 CF-18 Hornets.
On Oct. 19, 2015 the Liberal Party of Canada under Justin Trudeau won the country federal election and in early Jun. 2016 decided to buy the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet as interim fighter (and as more affordable alternative to the F-35).
But critics say it makes little sense to buy fighters that might be only used for a short period. Vance dismissed the idea of leasing the fleet. "One cannot lease fighters," he said.
However should Canada decide not to acquire the Boeing planes as a stopgap measure, it could order from Lockheed-Martin (F-35), Dassault Aviation (Rafale) or Eurofighter GmBH (Eurofighter Typhoon).

According to St. Louis Post- Dispatch, depending on Canada's choice for the permanent fleet, this could result in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) operating two different kinds of modern jets at the same time, a prospect that did not worry Vance.
"Why is it so odd that the RCAF would be operating two fleets?" he said. "We used to operate three, four fleets."
Given that Canada is part of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) the new planes must be interoperable with those used by the U.S..
This means Canada is likely to buy U.S. jets for the permanent fleet, people familiar with the matter have previously told Reuters.
In fact we must remember that the interim fighter won't be Canada's "definitive" fighter aircraft. Actually an open competition (which possibly will include the F-35, the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the European-built fighters) will determine which aircraft is the best to meet RCAF requirement.

This statement was originally launched on acmpress.org on 13 September 2017.
The Association of Caribbean MediaWorkers (ACM) has launched a campaign focused on the plight of journalists and other media workers in some Caribbean countries affected by Hurricane Irma.
A committee led by veteran Barbadian broadcaster, Julian Rogers, and including ACM president Wesley Gibbings, Media Institute of the Caribbean (MIC) board member/former IPI executive director, Alison Bethel-McKenzie and ACM executive member, Denis Chabrol has been convened.
Journalists Anika Kentish (Antigua), Marvin Hokstam (Netherlands), Raynier Maharaj (Canada) with support from CMC are also engaged in the fact-finding, planning and fund-raising activities of the campaign.
The countries/territories included in this survey are: Anguilla, Barbuda, BVI, Turks and Caicos and St Martin/Sint Maarten. Some work on the ground has already begun.
The ACM is engaging the attention of its regional and international affiliates and some fund-raising activities to facilitate the missions and follow-up action is being launched.
ACM President Wesley Gibbings says the campaign "is the least we can do at a time like this to ensure there are functioning media operatives in the islands most affected by the hurricane."
"One key component is providing a platform for the telling of stories of journalists and how they have been affected," he said.


Thanks to a groundbreaking new study released this week by Prof. Hendrik Bessembinder, professor of finance at the Arizona State University's Carey School of Business, we now know that these costs are significant – and in many cases may actually exceed in size the losses that divested institutions would expect to endure from weaker portfolio performance.
According to Bessembinder's research, transaction and management costs related to divestment – what he refers to in his paper as "frictional costs" – have the potential to rob endowments of as much as 12 percent of their total value over a 20-year timeframe. This includes the immediate transactions costs, as well as ongoing management fees to stay in line with the changing definition of "fossil free." Prof. Bessembinder estimates these frictional costs could cost a typical large endowment fund growing at a historically reasonable rate as much as $7.4 billion in value over a 20-year period.
In his paper, Prof. Bessembinder analyzes 30 separate U.S. universities of varying endowment sizes and quantifies what the frictional impact would be on each segment under a divested scenario. Focusing on that sample, including large, medium-sized, and small endowments, conservative estimates of the initial transaction costs range between a loss of 60 basis points and 269 basis points for large endowments; between 25 and 180 basis points for medium endowments; and between nine and 124 basis points for small endowments. Meanwhile, conservative estimates of ongoing annual compliance costs range between 8 basis points and 58 basis points. Combining these estimates of transaction costs with ongoing compliance costs, Bessembinder estimates that endowments would lose between two and 12 percent of their value due to divestment over a 20-year period – over and above any losses incurred due to weakened portfolio performance.
As activists continue to pressure institutions to divest their portfolios of oil-and-gas assets, a cottage industry of "green" money management firms has sprung up, with firms such as Trillium Asset Management, Green Century Funds and others openly campaigning alongside activists in support of divestment – notwithstanding the fact that many of these firms themselves continue to own, and have no plans to sell, fossil-related assets.
One of the reasons that transaction and compliance costs related to divestment are so high is that many of these firms charge management fees that are significantly higher than their peers. According to the Bessembinder report, these funds have expense ratios that are on average 10 basis points higher than other active management firms – and as much as 73 basis points higher than passive investment firms.
The Bessembinder report represents the third installment in a series of recent studies that have sought to quantify the true costs of the #DivestmentPenalty. The first study, authored by a former dean of the Univ. of Chicago School of Law, found that divested portfolios would incur an annual loss of 70 basis points over a 50-year period, representing a 23 percent reduction in returns relative to a diversified portfolio. The second report, authored by Prof. Bradford Cornell of Caltech, quantified the impact of divestment on Harvard, Yale, MIT, NYU, and Columbia, with divestment-related losses for those institutions ranging up to $107.8 million per year.
NOTE: Copies of all these reports, along with fact sheets and other collaterals, can be found at DivestmentFacts.com. For a sampling of some of the early coverage of Prof. Bessembinder's new paper, see articles last week in The New York Times and Boston Globe.
The study, Frictional Costs of Fossil Fuel Divestment, was commissioned and financed by the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA). The views expressed by way of this paper are Professor Bessembinder's own; he does not speak for Arizona State University, the University of Washington, Compass Lexecon or IPAA. Prof. Bessembinder was assisted in preparing this report by members of Compass Lexecon's professional staff.

Horse Guards Avenue
Whitehall and Victoria Embankment
Horse Guards building and parade area
For the road on the other side of the Horse Guards building, see Horse Guards Road.
The view down Horse Guards Avenue from Whitehall
Horse Guards Avenue is a road in the City of Westminster, London, linking the major thoroughfares of Whitehall and Victoria Embankment, to the east of the Horse Guards building and parade area. The entrance of the Main Building of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), flanked by its monumental Earth and Water statues, opens onto the Avenue. A statue of a Gurkha soldier, unveiled in 1997, stands as a memorial in front of the Ministry of Defence.

5 IRA mortar attack
The Avenue falls entirely within the area once occupied by the Palace of Whitehall, which was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1698, save for the now historic listed building, Banqueting House. It was originally a narrow street called Whitehall Yard on which stood a number of houses, most notably Carrington House, the residence of Lord Carrington. The building was demolished in 1896 to make room for the widening of the street preparatory to the construction of the War Office building. The Avenue was planned as part of a subsequent project to build a large Government building, begun in 1909 but not completed until 1951. On completion, the Avenue formed the northern boundary of this new building, which since 1964 has been used as the Main Building of the Ministry of Defence (MoD).[1]
Road layout[edit]
Horse Guards Avenue, running from west to east, connects the major north-south thoroughfares of Whitehall and Embankment. Beginning at a T junction with Whitehall at a point opposite the Horse Guards building, the Avenue continues eastward to another T junction on Embankment. Approximately 600 feet (180 m) long, it provides for a single lane of widely separated traffic in each direction, with a slight curve bowing its course to the north midway along.
Other than Whitehall and the Embankment, the only other public road connecting with the Avenue is Whitehall Court, a one way road joining the Avenue from the north as another T-Junction, midway along its length. A small private access road, Whitehall Gardens, is located at its western end, running south. Horse Guards Road is not connected to Horse Guards Avenue, being approximately 700 feet (210 m) away beyond the Horse Guards building and parade ground.
Adjoining buildings[edit]
The Avenue is overlooked by four buildings - the MoD Main Building and Banqueting House on the south side separated by Whitehall Gardens, and the Old War Office Building and Whitehall Court on the north side, separated by Whitehall Court road. The north frontage of the MoD building and its entrance dominates the south side of the Avenue, with the smaller Banqueting House situated to the west in the corner with Whitehall. To the north, the Old War Office building lies on the west side of Whitehall Court road fronting onto Whitehall, while the Whitehall Court building lies on the opposite side. Towards Embankment, the frontages of both the Whitehall Court building and MoD building end at the same place, with the Avenue continuing on to the junction with Embankment through the public gardens which line the west side of Embankment.
Other landmarks[edit]
Charles Wheeler's architectural sculptures of Earth and Water
A statue of Spencer Cavendish, 8th Duke of Devonshire by Herbert Hampton stands in the middle of the Avenue at the Whitehall end, facing Horse Guards. Opposite the MoD building entrance stands the Gurkha Monument, on the corner of the Avenue and Whitehall Court road, with the soldier statue facing west looking towards Whitehall. Sculpted by Philip Jackson, it was unveiled in 1997 by Queen Elizabeth II. The entrance to the MoD building itself is flanked by two monumental statues, Earth and Water, by Charles Wheeler.
IRA mortar attack[edit]
Horse Guards Avenue was the launch site of the IRA's 1991 Downing Street mortar attack. A transit van was parked on the Avenue near the corner with Whitehall, and the mortar launch occurred minutes later. The incident led to a ban on street parking in the area.
