Here's How To Catch The Aurora Borealis in Iceland
By Siri Undlin
Earth.com staff writer
What is Aurora Borealis?
Mystical, strange and beautiful, Aurora Borealis is a real phenomenon of dancing lights in the sky. Also known as the northern lights, Aurora Borealis is caused by electrically charged particles released from the sun. These particles enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gases like oxygen and nitrogen. People most often see green lights moving across the northern sky, but auroral displays can include blues, yellows, reds, and violet as well.
Different types of gas particles determine the color of Aurora Borealis. Green is most often seen because it is produced by oxygen molecules located around 60 miles above the earth. Red coloring, much rarer, is caused by collisions of high-altitude oxygen particles located up to 200 miles above the earth.
Ready to nerd out for a second? When there is a big opening in the sun's atmosphere, these charged particles escape in the form of solar spots and solar flares. Eventually, they collide with earth, riding through space on a solar wind. The Earth's magnetic field deflects most of these particles. Here's where it gets cool: Earth's magnetic field is weakest at its poles. It is at these weak points that the sun's charged particles sneak into the atmosphere. They then collide with oxygen and nitrogen to create breathtaking nighttime light shows. And it's not just the north pole – the same thing happens in the southern hemisphere. This phenomenon is called Aurora Australis.
Where Does it Happen?
Catching Aurora Borealis is all about being in the right place at the right time. Generally, you are more likely to see an aurora if you are at a high latitude, which is to say, closer to the north pole. However, it's not always so simple. Earth's magnetic poles don't always match up with its geographic poles. There are tools online that can be really helpful for calculating your magnetic latitude, giving you a better understanding of where you are in relation to the northern lights.
While there are predictions of the Aurora Borealis reaching as far south as Wisconsin this weekend, the auroral-zone usually extends over a 2,500km radius around the magnetic north pole. This includes northern Scandinavia, Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and Iceland.
How to Catch the Lights
The Aurora is a sporadic activity. This means it can happen randomly for short periods, or not at all. Active periods are usually around 30 minutes long, occurring every couple of hours. In parts of Norway, like the coasts of Tromso and Finnmark, the Northern Lights can be easily spotted on clear nights between the months of October and April. Aurora Borealis occurs all year round, but sunlight through the summer nights in the north makes it difficult to detect.
Entire industries have popped up around Aurora Borealis, for good reason. Scandinavia is particularly popular for this sort of tourism. Many travelers are already excited to travel to Iceland for the incredible natural beauty and quirky arts scene. While there, people often try to catch the flickers and twists of these glowing skies as well. The best tip for catching the northern lights in Iceland? Patience. The climate on the island is considerably less predictable than other northern areas, and storms frequently shut down roads and cover the skies. You'll have to wait for the clouds to cooperate, but it will be worth it.
And if you'd like to shirk the tourism industry, it isn't hard. You can use different tools to keep tabs on short-term Aurora forecasts, aiming for areas outside of these northern cities and preferably during a new moon. Remember to dress warmly!
Mythology Behind the Northern Lights
The science behind Aurora Borealis is fascinating, but people have been observing this natural event far longer than scientists have been able to define "solar flares." So what did ancient humans think of these dancing lights in the sky?
The name Aurora Borealis is Greek, derived from the Greek works "aurora" (sunrise) and "boreas" which means wind. It would have taken incredible strong solar activity for these lights to reach all the way to Mediterranean, but they are present in Greek mythology, as Aurora was thought to be the sister of Helios and Seline – the sun and moon.
In North America, the Cree Nation viewed the northern lights as spirits of the dead in the sky. The Makah nation told stories of the lights coming from the fires of dwarves boiling whale blubber. Inuit tribes viewed the lights as spirits playing a ball game.
Scandinavian folklore associates the northern lights with childbirth and fertility. In Iceland, it was believed that the northern lights would relieve the pain of childbirth, as long as the mother did not look up at them – if she did, according to legend, her child would be born cross-eyed. Around Finland, people told stories of a firefox, running so fast across the snow that sparks came off of its tail. Norse mythology links the lights to the Valkyrie, fierce female warriors, who guided those fallen in battle to the afterlife, also known as Valhallah.
Have you been lucky enough to see the northern lights? Any tips for how to catch them?

One of the nice things about Facebook is being able to support friends who are not near. One of the ways of doing this is offering up prayers when someone is sick or having a rough time. I do this quite often. Those that know me might be saying "But Doug... you aren't religious and I don't even think you believe in God... so why are you offering up prayers?". Number one... yes I am religious, just not in the traditional sense, and number two... that's a great question, that I was just thinking about this morning, and thus why I'm writing this. Why do I offer up prayers? Because I think the person on the receiving end needs to know they are loved and thought of. That's the healing power. Do I believe my prayer is being transmitted to some omnipotent being, being received, and then transmitted via some "magical power" back down to the person in need? Absolutely not. That's why I think verbalizing it is important and why I think Facebook is fantastic. I can pray all I want for someone, but unless they know I'm doing it, I personally feel it has the same power as a person at home watching television that thinks they have ANY influence on the outcome of a sports event... which is ZERO.
Ok, I'm probably gonna piss off a few of my friends and family, but this is MY blog, and just a thought I had this morning. I totally believe in the power of prayer, just not in the traditional way most religious people do. Self talk is one of the greatest healing powers there is. I know someone is going to say to me "But... so and so had cancer and we prayed for them and they got well". That's AWESOME! Unfortunately, I think there are the same number of counteracting stories. "We prayed and God didn't hear our prayers... it must have been their time to go". A completely human way to rationalize and deal with a painful experience.
I've had many experiences where prayer helped me. Knowing that my family who was miles away was being supportive of me in times of need was a tremendous help. I didn't feel alone. Have I had those overwhelming tingly feelings when I've been overcome by some sort of "spirit"? Absolutely! The body is kind of awesome that way. It's usually in times of peace and clarity. It's helped me make several important decisions in my life. Do I believe it's some power being transmitted through space to my body? I still have a tough time dealing with the science of that. It's definitely my body reacting to some chemical change that is produced when I'm in these moments of clarity. So I take advantage of the signal.
I continue to pray for friends and family (and let them know so). I don't pray for "The President" or world situations. I have absolutely no control over those events, other than how I respond to them. I also selfishly pray for myself a lot. Not for worldly goods or for situations to turn out how I want, but mostly for acceptance and strength to deal with whatever comes my way. If I'm praying for a situation to turn out a particular way then I might just be setting myself up for failure and disappointment.
"And thank you for bringing us all together to feel each other's love and enjoy each other's company"
Now that's a cool message that you otherwise probably wouldn't say directly to everyone, but seems somehow easier via a prayer.
Ok... done... prayers your way (in other words... I'm thinking about you and care about you).

Chargers Philip Rivers just on the Edge of QB1 Status Against Ravens
Corby Yarbrough
Numbers can certainly be skewed when it comes to who has done what against whom in recent weeks in the NFL. Safe to say this is what we are dealing with when it comes to looking at San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers as QB1 against Baltimore in Week 15.
The Ravens No. 1 against fantasy QBs this season and are ranked third against them over the last five weeks, but have faced the likes of Dan Orlovsky, Colt McCoy, Alex Smith, Andy Dalton and Tarvaris Jackson.
However, it is not just the below-average QBs the Ravens have been able to give trouble.
They have had five games against veteran, fantasy-start worthy QBs this season — Ben Roethlisberger twice, Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Sanchez and Matt Schaub — and those five averaged 261.4 yards per game with four total TDs and six interceptions for an average of just 12.9 fantasy points per game amongst them.
So the numbers say the yards are there to be had for veteran QBs, but the TDs will be limited to one per game and all of the veterans were intercepted at least once.
This is where the problem lies when it comes to starting Rivers. After a struggling start to the season — 11 TDs, 14 interceptions and three lost fumbles over the first nine games — he is now more protective of the ball in the air. He has thrown 11 TDs to three INTs over the last five games and no picks in the last three games; he does have two lost fumbles in the last five games.
The yardage has always been there for Rivers this season. Only twice has he dipped below 240 yards. He has five games above 16 points in his last six outings. But can he survive behind his offensive line's struggles going against this defense for long enough to have the good outweigh the bad?
It is unlikely the Chargers' ground game will get going against the No. 2-ranked rush defense. So Rivers will have to have success through the air. Rivers has Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and rookie Vincent Brown at his disposal. The only troublesome trio Baltimore has had to face this season is that of the Steelers twice (280 and 330 yards in the two meetings). Rivers also has tight end Antonio Gates, who is unlike any other the Ravens have had to face this year, and he gives the Chargers four targets with which to work in addition to Mike Tolbert and Ryan Mathews as pass catchers out of the backfield.
In three games vs. Baltimore, Rivers averages 276.7 yards passing with six TDs and three interceptions. The Week 15 game is in San Diego, on national television and Rivers is throwing for 285 yards per game with 13 TDs and eight interceptions in seven home games this season — six of which came in the first nine weeks of the season.
And there's Rivers' December numbers over his career — 25 games, 22 wins, 5,754 yards, 46 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for a 102.0 QB rating.
Rivers is not a top-12 QB for me this week, because I don't trust his offensive line to keep him upright, but I would still start him ahead of his opponent Joe Flacco as well as Ben Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Seven Ways Conservatives Can Fight Back At The State And Local Levels
Written by Daniel Harowitz
Everyone is hoping and assuming 2021 will be a better year than 2020. But it will not happen on its own. We must get on the playing field and make it happen.
Assuming Joe Biden is sitting in the White House on January 20, there is little we can do to influence the direction of federal policy in the coming years. And given that too few Republicans in the U.S. Senate plan to stand against Biden's fraudulent election victory, we are out of options at the federal level to fight back against voter fraud. Many parts of the country are irrevocably lost, and certain federal policies, particularly foreign policy, are headed down a dark path. But does that mean that in conservative parts of the country, we must submit to unconstitutional tyranny, especially from an illegitimately elected president? Only if we allow it. Now is both the time and the opportunity to fight back.
Republicans control state legislatures in 31 states. They control the trifecta in 24 states plus Kentucky, where there is a Democrat governor but veto-proof GOP majorities in the legislature. Additionally, Donald J. Trump won the vote in 83 percent of the counties, and a large portion of them have GOP elected officials or officials who can certainly be influenced and pressured into going along with local popular sentiment. With legislative bodies going back into session this January, now is the time for us to make a stand for freedom throughout the country.
Did New York and California ever cooperate with Trump? Not a chance. They became even more liberal under his tenure and even resisted federal enforcement of the law against foreign criminals who violated federal sovereignty. Why can't we do the same in the states and counties we supposedly control to at least return to constitutional governance?
To that end, here is a list of seven immediate agenda items for conservatives to focus on at the local and state levels to ensure that at least pockets of this country remain a sanctuary for ordered liberty and constitutional governance.
1) Constitutional sanctuaries against COVID fascism: Conservatives must immediately organize and push for the adoption of a declaration of rights and principles in the county and state legislative bodies over which they wield the most influence to make those jurisdiction sanctuaries against mask mandates, forced business closures, and draconian treatment of children in school. These declarations will affirm our rights to life, liberty, and property, terminate all emergency delegated authority to governors, and use the doctrine of lesser magistrates to fight unconstitutional suspensions of liberties from higher-ups in government.
2)Focus on local offices: Groups of patriots in each county need to assess, communicate with, pressure, and, if need be, recruit against the existing school board members, sheriffs, county judges, county prosecutors, county executives and commissioners. This is where all the power lies. There is no reason why in the 2,000+ counties Trump carried by easy margins that all of the aforementioned officials should not be on the same page to resist state or federal enforcement of unconstitutional lockdowns, mask tyranny, and abuse of our children at school. If not, we should immediately be working on candidates for those offices who share the values that reflect the presidential voting patterns of the county.
3) Immediately primary every lockdown governor: How is someone like Mike DeWine even able to stand for re-election this cycle, given that he has instituted the same lockdown policies as Andrew Cuomo in conservative Ohio? The answer is because we are not doing our job. Governors like DeWine in Ohio, Bill Lee in Tennessee, Brian Kemp in Georgia, Kay Ivey in Alabama, Brad Little in Idaho, Chris Sununu in New Hampshire, Greg Abbott in Texas, and Mark Gordon in Wyoming should easily attract a primary challenge. Trump should be recruited to support and rally for challengers. Why should we only have two anti-lockdown governors (Ron DeSantis in Florida and Kristi Noem in South Dakota) of the 27 alleged Republican state executives in the country?
4) Vote on anti-crime/anti-riot and pro-self-defense legislation: While our governments took away our liberty with coronafascism in 2020, they also took away our safety by publicly blessing, rather than deterring, BLM and Antifa rioting. Additionally, they have released thousands of criminals, which has, in part, led to the sharpest increase in crime in a generation. Every Republican-controlled state legislature should immediately push legislation toughening sentencing on repeat violent offenders, clamping down on mob violence, and expanding self-defense laws. Ron DeSantis' anti-rioting bill he plans to propose to the Florida legislature should be a model for two dozen other states.
5) Strengthen election integrity: The first order of business in states Republicans control should be to ban mail-in voting and ballot harvesting. They must make sure all elections are secure. I've detailed a list of nine ideas that should be pursued at a minimum. What about the federal courts inevitably inserting themselves into these laws? That leads me to #6.
6) Tell the federal courts to pound sand: If states had the "right" to thwart federal immigration law under Trump, according to these courts, and if they had the right to ignore their own election laws in a presidential election that affects the entire country, then it's time for states to control areas of law that legitimately fall under their jurisdiction without judicial intervention. After turning down Trump's lawsuits, the federal courts have forfeited any ability to get involved in election law. Red states need to stand up to them once and for all and teach them that federalism is a two-way street.
7) Block refugee resettlement: If Joe Biden becomes president, he will immediately increase the number of refugees we admit and force them upon the states. Additionally, he will try to resettle more Central American teens who crash our border as refugees. Although states don't control the visa admission process, refugee resettlement requires state cooperation to place large numbers of refugees in local communities. While Americans are locked down, it makes no sense to admit more people from around the world. If states can welcome illegal aliens, then states can close their doors to the antiquated institution of refugee resettlement.
Notice a pattern? Most of the power on the relevant issues resides in the states where Republicans control a significant amount of power. They make it seem as if the world hinges on a razor-thin RINO majority in the U.S. Senate in Washington, yet they refuse to use the power in meaningful ways even when they control all of state government with supermajorities. The same legislatures that declined to challenge the election results refuse to fight on any other issue as well. That can all change if conservatives train their fire on local officials and candidates and fight national issues at the local level.
So, the next time Republicans give the excuse of "but Biden" and "but Pelosi" to justify their inaction on an issue, remember there are two dozen states that should look like a conservative version of California. They have their sanctuary states for tyranny and criminals. We should have ours for ordered liberty and the U.S. Constitution.

CANTO: Wormrot, Monolord, Ghost, Heavy Scotland
May 23, 2018 May 23, 2018 CoreyLeave a comment
I have so much delicious music to listen to this coming month. So exciting.
Starting off with some news about a real shit break for Wormrot. They were U.S. bound for a run of shows that included MDF. They made it… but none of their clothes or equipment did. It sounds like things might be turning around, but this is still a total pain in the ass. And it's not the first stroke of misfortune they've dealt with. All the best for these dudes.
Monolord have announced a shiny new North America tour this coming August and September. It follows Psycho Las Vegas and includes a couple dates with Red Fang. So that's really cool.
The Heavy Scotland lineup is complete. Notables include Children of Bodom, Carcass, and Ensiferum. I would like to go to this someday.
Have we shared that new Ghost song, "Dance Macabre" yet? No? ok.
"Ein Bier… bitte."

Good morning, it's time to metal. Here's some news you might have missed from the last few days:
Leading off, an amusing tidbit from the world of Napalm Death: apparently, the band's Spotify streams have gone up more than 200% since frontman Barney Greenway appeared on a radio show teaching ex-Labour Party leader Ed Miliband how to scream. (Miliband still can't scream.)

Good morning, it's time to metal. Here's some news you might have missed from yesterday:
Leading off, Agoraphobic Nosebleed will be replacing Wormrot at this year's Maryland Deathfest. As one of the maybe five jackasses to have missed them last time out, I'm quite pumped about this. Noothgrush have been tapped to replace English Dogs, who also had to pull out of their appearance.

Donuts & CANTO: Chuck Berry, Wormrot, Baroness and more!
Good morning, it's time to metal. Here's some news you might have missed from over the weekend:
First things first: as always, a whole bunch of bands dropped new music on Friday, including Woe, Obituary and more. Check out Josh's recap here.
This isn't nearly metal, but it's still a damn shame: rock 'n' roll originator Chuck Berry passed away over the weekend at age 90. Hell of a life, and an incredible loss. Rest in peace, Chuck.
Well, this sucks: Singaporean grinders Wormrot have cancelled their planned U.S. tour due to concerns over having proper papers in the current political climate. That includes their appearance at Maryland Deathfest. Fuck the Orange One forever.
Baroness frontman John Dyer Baizley, who curated this year's Roadburn Festival, announced that he, bandmates Pete Adams and Marek Sarba, and Neurosis frontman Scott Kelly will join forces to perform a set of punk covers at the festival. I'm totally not upset that I'm not going to Roadburn this year. Not upset at all. Not one bit.
Ahead of their upcoming debut album, supergroup Dead Cross — featuring Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo and others — dropped a new song called "Shillelagh." I don't know who or what a "Shillelagh" is, but you should listen to it. Because Mike Patton.
And finally, Steel Panther put out another new music video called "I Got What You Want," which — let's be real — there's no way I wasn't going to include in this round-up. Check it out below:
The band's new album, Lower the Bar, drops this Friday. Anyway, that'll do it for now — check back this time tomorrow for our next edition!

It always seems that October flies by faster than any other month. Here we are, already halfway through and thankfully, the new metal releases just seem to get better each week. This one is no different but with Darkthrone's Arctic Thunder, it just got a lot bigger and for a lot of metalheads that have been anxiously awaiting their return.

The dogfight between Qantas and Virgin (with Tiger nipping at their heels) means cheaper flights for consumers, but might be bad news for shareholders.
Despite a 5.8% increase in the number of seats available, and a cut in airfares, Qantas flew 40,000 less domestic passengers than it did in July last year.
Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) has reported a 2.6% fall in the number of domestic passengers compared to the previous year. The international division fared even worse, with 8.5% less passengers flying overseas in July. Jetstar continues to do well, increasing its international passengers by 17%, while Jetstar Asia posted a 21% rise in passenger numbers. Qantas is looking to get out of flying to Europe as much as possible, due to the enormous costs it faces flying there. The company has been in discussion with Emirates over an alliance to fly to Europe, to cut Qantas' fuel bills and allow its international division to focus on flying more profitable routes into Asia and America.
On domestic routes, Virgin Australia Holdings (ASX: VAH) has introduced larger aircraft and more flights, as it ramps up its fight with Qantas to gain market share. Qantas' CEO Alan Joyce has vowed to protect the company's 65% market share at all costs. Virgin has also targeted the corporate traveller, introducing business class airfares, and marketing strongly to corporates.
The fare war hasn't hurt corporate travel agents, Flight Centre (ASX: FLT) and Corporate Travel Management (ASX: CTD), with both recently reporting growing revenues from the sector. But it is having an impact on Tiger Airways. CEO Andrew David has told the Australian Financial Review that the increase in flights by Tiger's bigger rivals would push back the likely timeframe for Tiger to break even in Australia.
Increased capacity is good news for passengers, with cheap fares likely to be on offer as Qantas and Virgin slug it out. That's no comfort for investors in either company, as the cheaper fares are likely to result in lower revenues, with neither company likely to score the winning punch.

Effective Leadership:
Integrity – the New Leadership Story
By Jeannette Galvanek and Ed Konczal, Vital Relationships LLC. Executive Summary of the article "Integrity – the New Leadership Story." Used by permission.
More Leadership Quotes
Integrity means being honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Having integrity means that you live in accordance to your deepest values, you always keep your word, and you're honest with everyone.
People who operate with integrity have an underlying value system that is manifested through their behavior and consistently adhere to a clear code of conduct.
Fundamental values-based character strength and deep-rooted integrity will help you pursue your life vision and maintain strong human relationships regardless of short-terms happenings.
Integrity is one of the top leadership attributes. Leaders with integrity practice what they preach lead by example and act in accordance with their words.
They know that high trust levels between the leader and the followers never fail.
They realize that their behavior, methodologies, decisions, words, and actions, help to create the company's true values and its culture, so they do what's best for the business and treat people right.
Integrity in leaders refers also to owning up to their mistakes, as opposed to blaming their team or making excuses.
How Make Integrity Your Nature
Formulate your noble core values and let them guide your thoughts, words and deeds.
Know who you are what you stand for.
Hold yourself accountable not just to superiors but primarily to your higher self and also to your colleagues and staff.
Have a clear vision of who you want to be. Adopt a continuous improvement attitude and do self-audit periodically to identify and remove blocks on your way to the desired integrity practice.
Firmly believe that doing the right and ethical thing is the overarching way to deal with people and to do business.
Act with Integrity. Walk your talk and lead by example. Those who operate with integrity consistently adhere to a code of conduct and have an underlying value system that is manifested through their behavior.
Lead with Integrity
Integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and having unshakable moral principles, situated at the intersection of consistent actions and strong values. In other words, it's a quality of people who do the right thing at all times, even when no one is looking, and especially when it is difficult to do so.
In a survey of over 3,000 employees and chief financial officers in 2016, integrity was highlighted by both groups as the most important attribute in a leader. Forbes states that integrity was ranked higher than other leadership qualities like fairness, decisiveness, and stability. Among employees, 75% indicated integrity is the most important attribute, while 46% of CFOs have the same views.
If you're aspiring to be a good leader in your organization, here are four reasons why you must lead with integrity:
Build credibility
The most glaring benefit of practicing integrity in leadership is that it builds credibility with clients, investors, customers, and talented professionals. Integrity in operations entails transparency to make sure that necessary reports are filed accurately and on time, and that organizational commitments are met.
However, credibility is also derived from the personal integrity of an organization's leaders. From a stakeholder's point of view, Business Insider shares that personal integrity is important because people trust will you and do business with you, which means that even large and international brands are judged daily by the quality of its leaders.
Create a gateway for trust and inspiration
Leaders with integrity also do a greater job in gaining the trust of their colleagues and inspiring them to do better. Fraud specialist and ethical author Dr. Christopher Bauer argues that integrity is most crucial at the helm of any organization. Leaders need to model and actively reinforce integrity for everyone in the company to create a culture that values integrity. A previous LearnLoft post explained that you risk ruining the entire organizational culture if you do not practice this virtue. Bad leaders forget the importance of their words and can say false things or make promises they do not keep, which can crush morale and company culture.
Equip you for the challenges ahead
Part of practicing integrity is being unafraid of inconvenient or uncomfortable truths. It allows you to see the world as it really is, not as how you wish it could be, an ability that is present in the best of leaders. This refusal to compromise or to cheat will give you the courage to do what is right and will help you avoid deluding not just your stakeholders, but yourself as well.
This also means that integrity can help you continue growing and learning. Part of this awareness of and commitment to the truth is knowing how much there is left for you to learn. Menlo Coaching share that this integrity in receiving feedback is important since support without criticism is never helpful for growth. Too often, leaders lacking in integrity eventually fail because they are incapable of examining themselves and considering how they can be wrong.
Commitment to success
Lastly, practicing integrity as a leader is a commitment to success. On a personal level, it lets you hold yourself accountable not just to superiors but also to your colleagues and staff. This honesty and openness can help you learn what you can do better and fix mistakes you would never have been aware that you've committed. On the organizational level, integrity allows you to lead your team towards the company's vision and goals since your moral compass will lead you there.
Integrity is not a bunch of value or ethics. Integrity of the coherence between how you are, how you think, and how you act.
Let values rule. Part your company with those who don't live the values of your company.
Training leaders of Integrity that will train other leaders of integrity is what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Peter Chikumba
Suggestions for Building Leadership Integrity
Integrity starts with Board of Directors who develops a statement of ethical practices and demand adherence. Anyone guilty of violating these practices must be publicly "beheaded" in a manner similar to what Jack Welch did at GE.

Why Leaders Fail: 12 Reasons
Profile of the 21st Century Leader
While leadership is always important to corporate performance, there is a growing realization that effective leaders with integrity are absolutely crucial to successfully navigating the New Economy of the 21st Century. In addition there is also a growing realization that the characteristics of the Leader of the 21st century are dramatically different than the leader of the past, even the recent past.
Command and control is out, organizations are getting flatter, the competitive landscape is chaotic, people are looking for meaningful work, customers are in control, these and more demands are being placed on today's leaders. Transition to the New Economy are frequently compared to movement to the Industrial Economy, the Information Economy, but the breadth of developments and changes in the New Economy are so dramatic that there is little precedent.
The real job of leaders is to inspire and create meaning and direction in the midst of drastic change and even chaos. In such a world of change and ambiguity, a new leadership style is needed. This involves the need to grasp the paradoxes inherent in the New Economy and to master the competencies required by the business environment now being created. This new leadership relies on the leader acting as an authentic and inspirational force developing effective relationships with people in the company, partners, customers, competitors and any other stakeholders
We developed a Profile of the 21st Century Leader. Through our experience and research we defined the characteristics that will be needed to lead in an increasingly changing business landscape.
This not to say that there is a definitive leadership model. Rather, we believe that leaders need to continuously adapt and change their approach as needs dictate. Leaders will need to apply these characteristics in an artful rather than a rigid scientific manner.
Leadership Integrity Guidelines
Integrity is a delicate jewel. Building integrity in leaders and their organizations takes time, continuous effort and cannot be feigned. You must feel it in your gut, in your core beliefs that being honest and trustworthy is the right business practice. If you feel that integrity is the route to financial success you are doomed to failure.
Accountability is the foundation for authentic business relationships. At least it forces the process of identifying and resolving issues. Authentic people take full and complete ownership for their lives, their choices, thoughts, feelings and actions, without blame or faultfinding.
Authentic people know their deepest values without hesitation and fulfill them in thought, word and deed. Integrity is their nature. They do not depend on their position for power. A leader with Integrity:
delivers their message clearly and don't worry about revealing themselves
must have a clear vision of who they are and what they stand for
creates clear intention by knowing the right questions to ask to create clarity and commitment
firmly believes that doing the right and ethical thing is the overarching way to do business

Joanne Shurvell, a journalist specializing in travel and food, has just penned two articles in Forbes magazine, discussing Bilbao, San Sebastián, Getaria, Portugalete, and Larrabetzu. The author has already been to the Basque Country before, and the fact that she enjoys coming here comes through in her writings. Her small Guide to Insider Information about these two Basque cities includes visits to Portugalete, to visit the Biscay Bridge; to Getaria, to enjoy its food and wonderful Balenciaga Museum; and to Larrabetzu, to dine at the Azurmendi restaurant. For this visit, they've had the support of the company Basque Destination.
These two articles, published practically at the same time, are undoubtedly a great way to create interest among the magazine's readership and to encourage them to discover the Basque Country for themselves. We also encourage Ms. Shurvell to continue returning to our country, and to continue offering her readers more "insider information" about all the great little gems we have to offer (and there are a lot).
By the way, in order to avoid causing any undue rivalry between these two Basque capitals, we've chosen for our headliner photo one of Balenciaga's creations: he's someone we need to defend every day.
Superb architecture, art and food are three good reasons to visit the Basque city of Bilbao in Northern Spain. The opening of the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim museum in 1997 marked a change in focus for a city formerly supported by ironworks and shipbuilding. The docks area around the Guggenheim was regenerated with landscaped parks adding much needed green space along the banks of the Ria de Bilbao. Norman Foster's metro, Santiago Calatrava's Sondica airport terminal and Zubizuri (Basque for 'white bridge'), a stunning suspension cable footbridge and the Torre Iberdrola by Cesar Pelli are among the architectural gems that have contributed to the city's metamorphosis.
As this year's European Capital of Culture, San Sebastian is bound to see more visitors strolling the long boardwalk beside La Concha, the largest of the sandy beaches in the city. San Sebastian (also known as Donostia in the Basque language) is a lovely town with tree-lined boulevards and a river leading to the sea.

Buffy Returns – the Beloved Slayer Will Get a Reboot as a Black Woman
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one if the most memorable and beloved 90's shows, is rumored to get a major reboot with an entirely new and "inclusive" cast.
by Eddie V. — 1 year ago
It's hard to believe it's been 21 years since one of the quintessential 90's character's hit the small screen, but here we are – celebrating a young vampire slayer's legal drinking age birthday. The teen vampire slayer, who stole our hearts and skewered those of vampires, is getting major buzz for returning to TV with one major difference – Buffy will be portrayed by a black woman.
Source: flickr/Christopher RITZ
The original show's creator, Joss Whedon, is set to work with 20th Century Fox TV Fox 21 TV Studios to develop the reboot with an "inclusive" cast. Along with writer Monica Owusu-Breen, Whedon will produce the spin-reboot of the teenage vampire slayer that will make a welcome comeback into our lives.
The reboot isn't final yet, as Whedon wants to get over the hump of producing a "creaky" storyline, which is what is keeping the project up in the air at the moment. Some people are excited about the beloved show getting a fresh spin, but die-hard fans are rejecting the reboot because, for them, Buffy and her crew are perfect just like they were.

If you're concerned about crime in Kamloops, there's a way to help
By Ashley Legassic

'YOU CAN'T EXPECT A POLICE OFFICER TO BE ON EVERY CORNER.'
KAMLOOPS - In recent months at least two vigilante groups have set up shop in Kamloops claiming they are preventing crime and making the community safer.
Creep Catchers is hunting down online child predators and meeting with them face-to-face, while the Soldiers of Odin claim they're a charity holding prevention walks through communities, although experts have questioned their motives.
These groups say they are going around the law to "protect" their communities and some residents seem to be just fine with their tactics.
"We have called the cops many times and have even not had them show up," says one Facebook message about the Soldiers of Odin. Another message on Facebook offers the group "high fives" for keeping the community safe.
There are other ways to get involved in the protection of your community and it seems Kamloops residents aren't utilizing them.
ONLY NINE BLOCK WATCH NEIGHBOURHOODS IN THE CITY
Crime prevention coordinator for the City of Kamloops, Sandro Piroddi, says only nine neighbourhoods in the city have a Block Watch program currently in place, a program that's been in Kamloops for about two years.
He says another 15 to 20 neighbourhoods are looking at getting the program started, but adds people sometimes drop out before even before the Block Watch signs go up.
There is currently one Block Watch each in the Barnhartvale, Westsyde, Aberdeen and Batchelor Heights neighbourhoods and two each in Brock and the North Shore.
Prioddi says "people come to the office all excited and get all the materials," then the fear of commitment comes in. Residents who are interested in Block Watch have to go door-to-door to speak with their neighbours and he says even that can be too much for someone to commit to.
The Block Watch program is all about education on crime prevention, Piroddi says, and crime prevention only works when everyone participates.
"I think we have to look after our own neighbourhoods and our own homes," he says. "You can't expect a police officer to be on every corner."
The program seems to be working. In neighbourhoods with a Block Watch program up and running, he says residents have reported suspicious occurences dropping by about 50 per cent.
He hopes there will five more Block Watches in place in the city by the end of the year.
If you or your neighbours would like to get involved with Block Watch contact Sandro Piroddi at 250-571-3862.

Previously, taxes and fees payable for DAC's services in relation to licences were based on the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 28 July 2011.
The new Grand-Ducal Regulation (RGD) of 1st August 2018, replacing the RGD of 2011, is applicable since 8th August 2018.
- Applicability of the new RGD: The new RGD will only be applicable to applications introduced after its entry into force. Applications introduced before its entry into force still fall under the RGD of 2011, even if DAC's services have only been performed after its entry into force.
- Manual endorsement: Currently, the manual endorsement of licences is not yet possible in Luxembourg. With the entry into force of the new RGD, examiners specifically authorised to do so can manually endorse licences for revalidations.
- Rules against overlapping: Rules against overlapping are designed to prevent double payment. If DAC delivers simultaneously a licence and one or more associated ratings, or multiple ratings, only one tax and one fee has to be paid (the highest of each). If however two completely different acts have to be performed by DAC, each one has to be paid separately (ex. issuance of an airplane licence and of a helicopter licence).
The following presentation will further detail these explanations.

In an interview he said "This is where I was during the lockdown last year. This is where I am now when the Maharashtra Government has announced a lockdown again. For me, this is heaven. For stretches, you can only see green fields and cows grazing. I wish my children Shora and Yaani were here with me." When asked about his sudden visit to native village.
The actor said that he wished his kids were with him there but due to Pandemic it was not possible, he said "They were here with me in Budhana. But now, they are in my farmhouse in Kasara near Mumbai where it is absolutely safe. They will be there until the lockdown is over and the pandemic subsides."

I don't have anything to say about this now. All I will say is, this is a time when the world is in a crisis.

Instead of 'only' adding 180,000 jobs in October, the US Labor Department announced 271,000 new jobs, strengthening the assertion that the US economy is growing, and strengthening the probability that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December. Unemployment is also considered to be full, at 5.0%. The caution is that the labor participation rate is stuck at the 1977 low of 62.4%. Reconciling 5% + 62.4% not equaling 100% reveals great opportunities and some rather large mysteries.

IP Front™ - Intellectual Property News Genericide – what is it and how can one prevent it?
Genericide – what is it and how can one prevent it?
Images from respective brands
Paul Goodall - Trade Mark Attorney & Patent Professional
Trade Mark Attorney & Patent Professional
What is genericide?
The term genericide is used to describe a trade mark that has become a part of the common language and has effectively evolved into a generic term that is used by the public to describe the products and/or services associated with the trade mark.
One of many examples that comes to mind is the iconic vacuum cleaner brand HOOVER. It amazes me how many people even to this day, refer to vacuum cleaners as 'Hoovers'. Phrases such as "this Dyson is a fantastic Hoover" when reading reviews for vacuum cleaners are surprisingly common.
As another example, it was not uncommon for people to refer to photocopy machines as Xerox machines based on the dominant brand for photocopiers at the time which was Xerox.
Even the term "to Google it" is now synonymous with internet search engines. Numerous other examples exist and continue to this day. For instance, how many times have you been asked by someone for a Kleenex when they needed a tissue?
Why is this a problem for trade mark owners?
One would think that once your brand has become a part of the common language you have made it – this is not necessarily the case.
Certainly, it is a strong indicator that your marketing has been extremely effective; however genericide is a catch 22 situation: on the one hand, it clearly indicates that the owner of the trade mark has been successful with their marketing, so successful in fact that their brand is now synonymous with the product (although not necessarily their product and therein lies the problem).
On the other hand, the possibility of the owner having their registered trade mark removed becomes a distinct reality, and the reason behind this comes down to the legal requirements for trade marks that will be discussed next.
Generic Trade marks
One of the criteria for obtaining and indeed maintaining a trade mark is that it cannot be overly descriptive of one's products and/or services, and we call such trade marks generic trade marks. Not only is it grounds for rejecting a trade mark application, it is also a grounds for removal.
Once a trade mark has become overly generic through the process of genericide, the ability for it to act as a trade mark is severely diminished.
As the purpose of a trade mark is to distinguish one's products and/or services from those of the trade mark owner's competitors, having a trade mark that has become generic has the result of diminishing the ability for the trade mark to distinguish the associated products and/or services from those of others.
Trade marks that have suffered genericide
Brands such as CELLOPHANE and ESCALATOR were once registered trade marks in countries such as America; however, through the process of genericide they are no longer registered trade marks in certain countries such as America.
In the case of the former ESCALATOR trade mark, this mark was originally owned by Otis Elevator Co. However, it was decided in the US court case of Haughton Elevator Co. vs. Seeberger (Otis Elevator Co.), 85 U.S.P.Q 80 (Comm. Pat. 1950) that ESCALATOR had become a generic term for a moving staircase and was thus removed as a trade mark.
In the 1921 decision of Bayer co., Inc. vs. United Drug Co., 272 F. 505 (S.D.N.Y 1921) ASPIRIN was held to be a generic term for acetylsalicylic acid analgesics and was removed as a trade mark.
CELLOPHANE was held to be a generic term for transparent cellulose sheets in DuPont Cellophane Co. vs. Waxed Products Co., 85 F.2d 75 (2d. Cir. 1936) and was hence removed as a trade mark.
Many other examples of trade marks that have suffered a similar fate in the courts exist and have had serious consequences on valuable trade mark portfolios owned by companies.
How do you prevent genericide?
One strategy that many companies use when facing the dreary prospect of genericide is to educate the public.
For instance, when someone asks one to pass a Kleenex (tissue), the public should be educated that it is not a 'Kleenex' but a KLEENEX® branded tissue.
In the past when brands were on their way towards genericide, aggressive marketing campaigns were employed. These marketing campaigns were successful in protecting numerous trade marks from the fate of genericide.
Another example of the misuse of a trade mark such as XEROX is a member of the public saying "Please Xerox this report for me" where the correct phrase should be "Please copy this report using the Xerox® copier," and this is something that the public can be educated on.
Marketing material can also assist in educating the public, such as printing references to trade marks in all upper case such as XEROX, KODAK and HOOVER or alternatively making liberal use of the ® symbol in print material, i.e., Xerox®, Kodak® and Hoover®.
The use of these conventions in print material and the like, makes it clearer that the word is a trade mark and not a generic descriptor.
It is important that trade marks are not misused and that they are used in their proper context rather than as a generic term. As has been discussed, misuse of trade marks can have disastrous consequences and it is vitally important that trade mark owners are aware of these issues.
If you have any questions regarding this or any other trade mark matters, please feel free to contact one of our trade mark experts at Baxter IP.


At our very core, we are storytellers and proud Chicago citizens. When Project 120, a public-private partnership to revitalize Chicago's South Parks, came to us to help them tell the story of a relationship between two countries spanning more than 160 years, we jumped at the chance. The result was a digital timeline with a full library of robust historical content, including images, photographs, videos, and articles — a website that is truly a place of discovery and mutual understanding — like the Garden of the Phoenix itself.
Project 120's philosophy is that public parks should be a shared commonwealth that uplifts the community. Founded in 2013, they brought together an interdisciplinary team to develop improvements that respect, preserve, and renew the character of the parks as designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. The latest efforts have focused on Garden of the Phoenix, a stunning pavilion representing Japan's cultural introduction to the western world and that significantly influenced Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style.
As part of a larger effort to highlight the historical and cultural significance of Chicago's South Parks and the critical importance of our city's reinvestment there, this initiative represented an opportunity for our team to express a piece of Chicago's history in a truly unique venue.
In addition to Project 120, our partners were the City of Chicago, the Chicago Park District, and a litany of community and corporate stakeholders to build support for the rich tapestry of stories at the heart of these parks. Through the generous support of OMRON, Project 120, and Robert Karr, we brought the vision to life.
Through unique interactive experiences, social engagements, and fundraising initiatives spanning from Kickstarter campaigns to corporate outreach, we looked to inspire others to embrace the historical and cultural significance of Jackson Park and support the foundation and city's efforts.
The challenge came in telling a story that hardly anyone knew, but to which everyone is connected. The Garden of the Phoenix, and its history, have roots stretching back 160 years and extending all the way to present day — roots with interconnectedness and that touch all of us as citizens of our fair city. This was no inconsiderable task, and not an insignificant one. Telling the story, and telling it right, was of the utmost importance.
The web experience had to be interactive, immersive, and as breathtaking as the physical space itself, but still easy for users to navigate and find the content they needed.
With content coming from 5+ sources in various formats, we had to dig deep to understand what was important, what wasn't, and how it should be organized to best tell The Garden of the Phoenix's tale.
By drawing parallels from the narrative into the physical space it occupied, we were able to connect the actual park to the interactive web experience.
We continue to be a part of efforts to shine a light on the historical and cultural significance of Chicago's South Parks — next up was a partnership with Yoko Ono's SKYLANDING sculpture, a stunning lotus of eight 12-foot-tall stainless steel petals arising from the ashes of the Phoenix Pavilion, to help her with an interactive extension of the work itself. Our efforts with The Garden of the Phoenix's interactive digital experience broke new ground for Project 120, and continues to support them as they work to revitalize and renew the city of Chicago's beloved parks.

01 - George Washington Episodes
The intro and outro music for the Washington episodes unless otherwise stated is from "Hail, Columbia" as performed by the US Navy Band. The full recording can be found at Wikipedia. The song was originally called "The President's March" and was composed for Washington's first inaugural. More information about the history of "Hail, Columbia" can be found at Wikipedia.
1.36 – Washington Q&A
I asked for your questions, and you sent in some great ones! As a part of the transition into a new presidency, we send George Washington off by addressing some lingering issues about his life and tenure including whether he thought of the Federalists as a political party, whether Hamilton would have become president if not for his affair with Maria Reynolds, did Washington really want to be called "His Excellency," and what was up with the president tallying how many women he saw during his Southern tour. The answers to these questions and more can be found in this special episode of Presidencies!
01 - George Washington
1.35 – Washington Post-Presidency
Year(s) Discussed: 1796-1799 Washington envisioned a relaxing retirement at Mount Vernon with his family after leaving the presidency in March 1797, but it was not to be. Between personal issues and a return to public service, the last couple of years of Washington's life prior to his sudden demise would be filled with business and breaches of trust and friendship.
1.34 – The Final(ish) Curtain Call
Year(s) Discussed: 1794-1797 After President Washington releases his Farewell Address, informing the nation that he would not seek another term, the 1796 election is carried out though, both domestically and abroad, there is much confusion about how exactly the United States would decide upon its next president. Meanwhile, the French plot to interfere with the election, the public attacks on Washington continue, and a military leader meets his untimely end.
1.33 – Race to the Finish Line
Year(s) Discussed: 1790-1796 Relations between the US and France deteriorate after the Jay Treaty goes into effect while Washington gets involved in the campaign to secure Lafayette's release from his imprisonment in the Habsburg Monarchy, the administration takes care of business as the end of Washington's second term draws closer, and the parties position themselves to launch into the 1796 presidential campaign as soon as Washington finally makes official his plans to retire (aka the worst kept secret in the 18th century).
1.32 – Samsons and Solomons
Year(s) Discussed: 1795-1796 Though finally managing to resolve his personnel issues, Washington and his Cabinet find themselves faced with a host of new problems including a new round of debate over the Jay Treaty and political maneuverings by the Democratic-Republicans as the next presidential election draws ever closer.
1.31 – Runaway
Year(s) Discussed: 1773-1848 On May 21st, 1796, Ona/Oney Judge slips out of the President's House in Philadelphia, PA in a bid to obtain her freedom from enslavement. The story of her being born into slavery at Mount Vernon, her being brought to work in the Washingtons' household, and the Washingtons' attempts at bringing Ona back into captivity is a narrative that brings much insight into the institution of slavery in the United States in the mid-1790s as well as a more complete view of George Washington's legacy.
1.30 – Under Pressure, Near and Far
Year(s) Discussed: c. 16th century-1795 Diplomatic representatives of the Washington administration navigate new waters as they seek a peaceful resolution to conflicts with the Barbary States and Spain while the President continues his frustrating search to find candidates willing to fill his vacant Cabinet offices. Meanwhile, the Senate throws the President a curve ball by rejecting one of Washington's appointments.
1.29 – The Not So Dream Team
Year(s) Discussed: 1792-1796 With positions in his Cabinet to fill, Washington is finding it difficult to convince anyone to join his administration. Meanwhile, the son of his Revolutionary War comrade the Marquis de Lafayette shows up in the US and places the President in a difficult position as he's forced to choose between personal loyalty and public duty. Around the same time, the disgraced Edmund Randolph makes his way up and down the east coast gathering evidence to clear his name.
1.28 – A Caesar, a Cromwell, and a Washington: The Betrayals of 1795
Year(s) Discussed: 1794-1795 Despite achieving a major diplomatic victory in the Northwest Territory, the administration is rocked by controversy as Secretary of State Randolph is confronted about allegations of collusion with the French while Washington himself is accused of improper use of public finances. Scandals and controversies abound in this episode!
1.27 – The Light of Burning Effigies
Year(s) Discussed: 1789-1799 While the construction of the nation's new capital proceeds, the public battle against the Jay Treaty begins in earnest upon its publication by Benjamin Franklin Bache. Demonstrations and meetings go on up and down the Eastern seaboard, and even Alexander Hamilton has difficulty determining how to respond. Meanwhile, Washington has to fill John Jay's position as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and deal with the last remaining member of his first Cabinet now looking to find a way out of his post.
1.26 – A Monument of Folly and Venality
Year(s) Discussed: 1794-1795 The Jay Treaty finally arrives in Philadelphia, but it turns out to be more of a curse than the blessing for which Washington and his administration were hoping. As Washington and Randolph scramble to figure out what to do with the treaty, the opposition makes preparations for a full-on attack on this treaty with the British. Meanwhile, the Administration learns of US Minister James Monroe's "fraternal embrace" of the French and goes in search of a special envoy to send to Spain. Diplomacy and political intrigue abound at home and abroad in 1795.
1.25 – The Happy Course
Year(s) Discussed: 1772-1795 As Alexander Hamilton readies himself to depart from the administration at the beginning of 1795, I use this defining point of the Washington presidency to explore various points of domestic policy and foreign issues including the establishment of the Trans-Oconee Republic, the state of the Democratic-Republican faction, the first steps of the Thermadorian government in France, the Kościuszko Uprising in Poland, the influx of refugees from Saint-Domingue and the progress of the Haitian Revolution, and British intrigues in the Caribbean. Many issues face Washington and his new Cabinet secretaries as they enter the final two years of his second term.
1.24 – The Mvskoke and Mathews
Year(s) Discussed: 1783-1793 The development of white settlements in what was then the Southwest United States brings about conflicts with various Native American nations including the Mvskoke (commonly referred to as the Creek). Thus, the Washington administration finds itself in the position of having to police its own citizens while at the same time negotiating peace with native peoples in the region. Meanwhile, the threat of slave uprisings moves closer to the United States and causes some slaveowners to reconsider their approach to enslaved people and the institution of slavery as a whole.
1.23 – Effigies and Efficacies
Year(s) Discussed: 1793-1794 James Monroe arrives in France as major changes are occurring in the governance of the nation – Robespierre is out, and the Thermadorians are in. Back in the US, Washington and Hamilton ride at the head of an army west to put an end to the Whiskey Rebellion once and for all, but they will be shocked by what they find as they draw nearer to Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, as we near the end of 1794, the longest serving member of Washington's Cabinet considers his future.
1.22 – My, What Big Treaties You Have
Year(s) Discussed: 1793-1794 Developments on both sides of the Atlantic keep the administration busy in 1794. Prominent envoys are sent to both Britain and France in order to avert the US being drawn into conflict with a foreign power. General Wayne and his troops march into action in the Northwest Territory. Even Washington is getting into the action as he heads into the field to face the rebels in western Pennsylvania. Though only five years old, the new government under the Constitution is tested like never before.

OSHA Issues New Comprehensive Worker Safety Guidance – COVID-19
By Andrew C. Brought
On Friday, January 29, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a new comprehensive worker safety guidance to protect workers against COVID-19, entitled: "Protecting Workers – Guidance on Mitigating and Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 in the Workplace."
Biden Executive Order regarding OSHA and COVID-19 Ushers in Changes
By Paul Jacobson
On January 21, 2021, President Biden issued the "Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety," available here, along with numerous other executive orders addressing COVID-19. The order directs the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to:
Issue revised guidance to employers on workplace safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, by February 4, 2021;
Consider whether any emergency temporary standards on COVID-19, including regarding masks in the workplace, are necessary, and if necessary, issue them by March 15, 2021 (expedited approval measures apply to such emergency standards);
Review OSHA's enforcement efforts related to COVID-19 and identify changes that could better protect workers and ensure equity in enforcement;
Launch a national program to focus OSHA enforcement efforts related to COVID-19 on violations that put the largest number of workers at serious risk or are contrary to anti-retaliation principles; and
Conduct a multilingual outreach campaign to inform workers and their representatives of their rights under applicable law, placing a special emphasis on communities hit hardest by the pandemic.
OSHA and EPA Penalties Set to Increase in 2021
Fines and penalties issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are set to increase in 2021 as a result of annual inflationary adjustments.
Colorado Looking to Issue Comprehensive Guidance for Waters of the United States (WOTUS)
By John Watson
How is Colorado Dealing with "Gap" Waters?
The scope of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act remains perplexing, particularly now that Colorado is the only state in the nation where the Navigable Water Protection Rule did not take effect June 22, 2020. In the context of a lengthy "stakeholder" process, on November 20, 2020, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) issued a White Paper addressing its regulatory options in light of the new federal WOTUS rule. Construction companies, developers, and other businesses seeking to permit activities around wetlands, ephemeral waters, and intermittent streams in Colorado would benefit from reviewing this comprehensive discussion of the multitude of dilemmas Colorado and others states face in light of the new rule.
Eighth Circuit Clean Air Act Opinion Brings "Deference" into Sharp Focus
Chevron, Auer, and Now Voight Deference?
On November 20, 2020, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals jumped headlong into the Chevron, and Auer deference realm. The issue: can a Clean Air Act permittee rely on a state agency's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) determination? And should a Court "defer" to the state agency's determination to assist in the interpretation of an "ambiguous" environmental program requirement? Voight v. Coyote Creek Mining Company (No. 18-2705, 8th Circuit Court of Appeals).
Inadequate NEPA Climate Change Analysis Prevents Oil and Gas Leasing in Wyoming
Judge Contreras's Second Opinion Blasts the Bureau of Land Management for Sloppy Environmental Analysis
Last year, in a 60-page opinion issued in March 2019, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras stopped the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from leasing oil and gas on over 500 square miles of federal lands in Wyoming. He began his opinion by stating: "Climate change, and humanity's ability to combat it, are increasingly prominent topics of public discourse. This case concerns the attention the government must give climate change when taking action that may increase its effects."
OSHA Provides Insight Into COVID-19 Enforcement Priorities
Despite widespread commentary regarding the lack of COVID-specific regulatory rules in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) continues to cite employers for a wide variety of health and safety violations arising from COVID-related investigations. On November 6, 2020, OSHA issued guidance summarizing which safety standards the federal agency most frequently cites during COVID-related inspections: Respiratory Protection, Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and the General Duty Clause.
Federal Court Affirms OSHA's Broad Interpretation of its Process Safety Management Standard
Chemical plant owners and operators need to carefully review a recent federal appellate court decision that could substantially expand process safety management (PSM) considerations and related chemical safety and accidental release regulatory requirements under EPA's Risk Management Plan (RMP) program.
EPA and Other Government Agencies Scrutinize COVID-19 Marketing and Product Claims
If your business sells or distributes products or devices by claiming that the products work against or kill COVID-19, beware that such claims are subject to regulatory oversight by a variety of governmental agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Trade Commission, and the Food & Drug Administration. Unsuspecting companies in the sale and distribution of these products, such as disinfectants, sanitizers, or cleaners,[1] must ensure their labels and marketing claims satisfy regulatory requirements.
New California Medical Waste Law Impacts Out-of-State Manufacturers and Distributors with Costly Compliance Mandates
By Jon Farnsworth, Karen Olson
In late 2018, California passed a new law that will, in the near future, present sweeping changes to the pharmaceutical industry and certain medical device manufacturers. The new law amends the existing California Integrated Waste Management Act and is expected to be a boom for medical waste disposal companies who stand to obtain significantly more business. While the law was signed by the California Governor nearly two years ago, the regulations will go into effect in a few months (by January 1, 2021). The original bill, dubbed the "California Sharps and Drug Takeback Bill", requires a manufacturer of covered drugs or home-generated sharps waste, to offer safe disposal methods for their customers' used and unused products. The law has potentially sweeping affect because it encompasses all covered drugs and home generated sharps waste that are sold or offered for sale in California.

silver brazing [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!
I saw from a recent post that there's a lot of welding expertise here so I thought I'd ask.... does anyone have any experience with silver brazing? My application is this -- I'm building cnc table for laser cutting sheet metal. I anticipate that I'll be able to cut 16 ga mild steel. I'm going to be making ornamental stuff, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get tired of the appearance of the mild steel. I was looking around for ways to create a new look for that material and was wondering if silver brazing would create a more stainless steel-like patina.
Is silver brazing a practical way to go to patinate sheet metal? I know I could get into plating but then I'd have to buy a new file cabinet to hold all the EPA reg requirements.
Other suggestions for steel patinas welcome. M'wife does glass work and I'm also going to investigate enameling.
Temps may be to high for thin sheet metal, It Ain't Cheap.
you're talking about brazing over the entire surface of the metal, right? Although it's probably possible, you're likely going to find that it'll be highly time consuming and expensive for acetylene. You might venture over to www.caswellplating.com/bbs (Caswell's Forum) and see who is selling their plating services. That'll likely be an inexpensive way to get stuff electroplated, and I've seen some really great work out of those guys.
Both posts are relevant -- my sheet metal will probably deform at the relevant temps, and it'll be an excessive use of acetylene. I'll look into out-sourcing plating or doing something with bucket chemistry at home.
I think those powder coatings might be just the ticket -- any experience with 'em?
Powder coating may be a very good alternative. I know a powder coated finish is very tough looks very good.
