Nikita Chiu: Peace in Space – A Mere Romantic Concept?
6:00pm, May 29th, 2019
Space orbit and radio frequency are essential global commons that necessitate governance through co-operation. Nevertheless, with the introduction of mega satellite constellations by private actors (e.g. OneWeb, SpaceX) and the recent dominance of adversarial narratives in space discussions, it has become exceedingly difficult for the international community to ensure the continuous peaceful and sustainable use of outer space resources. Can peace in space be sustained?


The Expert was intended from the outset as a platform for several future application developments. The solid, yet very light, glass-reinforced plastic body safely encases the internal moving parts. Nitrogen filling prevents lenses from fogging. Designed as a waterproof, extra durable system the binocular Expert complies with IP67 standards of water & dust resistance (IEC 60529). Comfortable in use, and to carry, the binocular Expert is surprisingly light and compact for the performance level it provides.
Observation in Reflection Reduction Mode neutralizes or minimizes the dazzling effect of light bouncing back from non-metallic, highly reflective surfaces (water, snow, ice or glass) as well as may assist in observing through some of them (car windows). Reflection Mode of Expert VM / Expert VMR Binoculars.
Contrast Mode featuring the yellow light tint helps in twilight, haze or fog for enhancing the image with brighter and contrasting spectrum.
The VM/ VMR version of the line also boasts switchable internal filters to enhance viewing experience. Really helpful in foggy conditions, or bright light, they work by polarizing the incoming light or cutting out some of the spectrum (see Details). Changing the viewing modes is as simple as moving a switch on the bottom of the binocular.
The first line of protection against extreme outside conditions – extra durable flat front lenses prevent the inner optics from scratches, dust and moisture.
The only moving part of the body - eyepieces are setting interpupillary distance, while oblique eyecups maximize comfort and cut out peripheral light.
Eclipse-M lens caps remain attached at all times and can protect the front optics from distortion due to precipitation.

Responding to the currents of climate change issues
Climate change caused by human activity is – and will continue to be – one of the most important issues facing the planet. We spoke to Charles Sturt University's expert climate change academic, Adjunct Associate Professor Andrew Rawson, about the importance of the oceans when it comes to global climate change – and what we can do in response to climate alterations.
The importance of the oceans to climate change
Dr Rawson began by outlining the interactions between the global oceanic system and global climate change.
"As humans release more and more carbon dioxide and other polluting gases, about half remains in the atmosphere and the rest is divided between the land and oceans. Approximately 25 per cent is absorbed by the ocean through chemical exchange. The extra carbon dioxide changes the chemical nature of the oceans (the primary effect of that is acidification of the water which can affect growth of any calcifying organism – from the shells and carapaces of some plankton to the coral on the Great Barrier Reef). Most require optimal pH and temperature range to grow and flourish. As we affect those we inevitably affect those organisms, which has a major impact on the oceanic food chain. As oceans acidify, they also become less capable of absorbing the extra carbon dioxide humans are emitting into the atmosphere. This is concerning because the moderating influence of the ocean–atmosphere exchanges will decrease over time, leaving more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to absorb heat there.
"The oceans are a critical component of the planet's climate system, particularly in relation to climate change, because the oceans hold an enormous amount of heat. They store more heat than the atmosphere and distribute it slowly around the Earth, creating a moderating influence. As human-released greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, less heat is able to escape into space and much of this extra heat is stored in the oceans. This has resulted in an increase in heat content of the upper oceans over the last few decades. The coral bleaching events recently seen in the Great Barrier Reef are almost certainly related to this extra heat.
"Plus, when you put extra heat into the oceans they expand. Even a small expansion in such a large body of water means significant effects at the coastlines. So actually, rather than glacial melt, the most significant rises in sea level due to climate change have been due to thermal expansion. And the rate of rise is accelerating. Currently on average the seas are rising by about three millimetres per year, and are expected to rise further over the next century and beyond.
"A further outcome of global warming is a reduction in sea ice for longer periods during each year. This shift in the proportion of ocean surface that doesn't contain ice changes the rate and amount of solar radiation that is either reflected or absorbed. Darker oceanic waters absorb radiation directly, whereas sea ice reflects radiation away. Therefore less sea ice results in more heat in the oceans, further exacerbating heating of the planet."
The international response conundrum
The question of how to tackle climate change is caught up in the power play of international politics, as Dr Rawson explained.
"As we know, climate change occurs on a global scale; the circulations of the atmosphere and the oceans go across the globe. The causes of recent climate change are also global so tackling climate change requires a global effort, which is what the United Nations has been trying to bring about for the last few decades.
"It is difficult to achieve change as many economies, such as Australia, are fundamentally entwined with fossil fuels. And there is a real sense of countries being unwilling to take the economic hit that will inevitably happen from changing such a large part of the country's economy first – without similar commitments from other nations."
Where the power may ultimately lie
For Dr Rawson, responding to climate change is something that involves everyone – with knowledge and data the key to shifting behaviour.
"Perhaps the only way this will change is if the public push hard enough for it, mainly through their consumer choices. And because of that, we need consumers to be informed. Key to that is more information, more research so we understand the impacts of these effects on the natural world.
"We need knowledge about mitigation alternatives – how to slow down or stop climate change – and adaptation responses. With the sure knowledge that climate change is happening and will continue to happen (even if we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, temperatures will still rise, probably over centuries, due to thermal accumulation) we need to know what the impacts will be from changes in temperature, rainfall, sea level and seasonality.
"These changes will affect everything from agriculture to community planning for hazards like bushfires. And of course to animal migration and adaptation. Fixed ecosystems like the Great Barrier Reef are likely to be less able to adapt than more mobile individual species.
"So how do we adapt to these inevitable changes? That's where research and understanding of climate change comes in. We need innovative, agile thinkers to help with these two channels of investigation – mitigation and adaptation – while operating in an environment that is constantly in flux.
"Climate change will affect almost every industry – from social work to agriculture – so while it can be alarming it also creates opportunities for the generation and dissemination of knowledge to understand a dynamic situation."
Be a part of the solution
Because climate change is important to everyone's future, whichever industry they work in, Charles Sturt University offers the climate change impacts, mitigation and adaptation subject. This covers key issues around the impacts of climate change and how to respond to them as part of many different degrees – such as agriculture, environmental science or emergency management.

Pepijn N., a current participant from the Netherlands, recently took a few minutes to answer a couple of questions about the amazing experience he's having during his J-1 program in the U.S. interning with RTL NY.
Pepijn on the job. Image courtesy of Pepijn N.
What is your favorite part about the company you work for and the people you work with?
I intern at RTL Dutch Television. We're the New York office of a major Dutch news network and we provide tv stories for our Dutch audience that mainly focus on news, background and give an insight to American culture.
The best thing for me is that we're always working on different stories. So one day we are at a press conference of Donald Trump or Joe Biden, but we might just as well be working on a story about the relationship between civilians and police or a story about the 'all-american' Texas cowboy boots that now aren't made in Texas anymore, but in Mexico and China. Every day is different with a lot of different subjects to cover. That fact, in combination with the talented and driven team I work with, gives me a lot of energy.
Pepijn with his volleyball team.Image courtesy of Pepijn N.
Tell me about the best cultural exchange moment you've experienced since you arrived in the U.S.
There's not a specific moment, there's a lot of them. When I don't have to work I often hang out in Central Park, at the beach volleyball courts there. There's a very friendly community there that exists of a lot of people who all have very different backgrounds. Everybody has one thing in common though: they like to play volleyball. But it's a great way to meet new people, learn things about the American culture - but also about people from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Brasil, Canada, Germany, Italy and a lot of different states.
It's really interesting to find out what our differences and similarities are and learn about how people see things in a completely different way than I do. The place is frequented by (e.g.) a top model, a FOX host, a cook, photographer, DNA-expert, business consultant, interns, waitresses, animal nurse - so there are a lot of different stories to be found here.

You have the ability to fight any elder abuse charges you face, and The Rodriguez Law Group can help.
Our Los Angeles criminal attorneys, led by former prosecutor Ambrosio Rodriguez, have nearly two decades of legal experience. We understand that a criminal conviction for elder abuse would be devastating for your future, so we will fight to secure the best possible outcome in your criminal case. Our aggressive approach to criminal matters allows us to secure reduced and dismissed charges in many of the cases we handle. Call our Los Angeles office today to schedule a free consultation with our legal team. We will review the charges against, make sure that your rights have not been violated, and answer the questions you have.
1 Why Does California Have Elder Abuse Laws?
2 What is Elder Abuse?
Why Does California Have Elder Abuse Laws?
California law offers special protections for the elderly and the disabled. These special protections act, in part, as a way to help people who may not be able to protect themselves from harm. California Penal Code Section 368 PC explains that elderly and disabled adults deserve special protections because they, like children, "may be confused, on various medications, mentally or physically impaired, or incompetent." These special conditions make the elderly and the disabled more vulnerable to criminal attacks. Laws prohibiting elder abuse help to protect the vulnerable and punish those who take advantage of them.
Elder abuse occurs when an elderly and/or disabled person is the victim of physical, emotional, or financial abuse or neglect. An elderly person is anyone who is over the age of 65. A dependent adult is a person between the ages of 18 and 64 whose physical and/or mental limitations restrict their ability to live a normal life. Elder abuse can occur in many places, including private homes, hospitals, nursing homes, and retirement communities.
Gross negligence resulting in the harm to an elderly or dependent adult.
With the exception of gross negligence, these acts must be committed willfully. Put in simpler terms, any act that you do intend to do, or do on purpose, is done willfully. Injuries that are the result of an accident or negligent are not considered willful acts.
As you can see, you can face criminal charges for elder abuse if you harm an elderly or dependent adult, or if you allow an elderly or disabled adult under your care to be harmed.
With knowledge that the victim is an elderly or dependent adult.
Under 368 PC, you will face harsh penalties if you commit a financial crime if you knew (or should have reasonably known) that the victim was elderly and/or disabled.
Hitting, striking, or punching your elderly grandparents or disabled siblings.
Allowing a nursing home resident to go without food and/or water for extended periods of time.
Intentionally failing to administer necessary medications.
Failing to report or stop abusive conduct.
Stealing a nursing home resident's personal credit card to make online shopping purchases.
Repeatedly belittling, yelling at, and reprimanding your elderly parents.
These acts will be considered elder abuse when they are done willfully and are likely to cause harm or suffering.
Elder abuse can be a misdemeanor or a felony in Los Angeles. The specific charge will depend on the extent of the harm suffered by the elderly victim and your history of criminal behavior.
You will be charged with misdemeanor elder abuse if your willful or criminally negligent conduct endangered the life, well-being, or safety of an elderly or dependent adult. Misdemeanor elder abuse is punishable by a maximum sentence including one year in a Los Angeles County jail, $6,000 in fines, restitution to your elderly victim, summary probation, and successful completion of court-ordered treatment programs.
You will be charged with felony elder abuse if your willful or criminally negligent conduct causes an elderly person to suffer unjustifiable pain and suffering or was likely to produce great bodily injury or death. Felony elder abuse is punishable by two to four years* in a California state prison, $10,000 in criminal fines, restitution to your elderly victim, formal probation, and successful completion of court-ordered treatment programs.
*If your willful or criminally negligent conduct causes an elderly or dependent to suffer great bodily injury or death, you will face an additional three to seven years in prison.
Property Value < $950: Misdemeanor punishable by one year in a Los Angeles County jail and $1,000 in fines.
Property Value > $950: Felony punishable by one year in a county jail and $2,500 in fines or two, three, or four years in a California state prison and $10,000 in fines.
The penalties will generally be aggravated for caretakers who abuse their position of authority and power.
If you have been accused of an act of elder abuse in Los Angeles you have the right to defend yourself. The best way to beat any criminal charges, including those for elder abuse, is by hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney to argue legal defenses on your behalf.
Are you facing criminal charges for elder abuse in Los Angeles? Call The Rodriguez Law Group for immediate legal assistance. If you are convicted of elder abuse you will face serious criminal consequences, including time behind bars and steep criminal fines. You will also be forced to adjust to life with a criminal record. Having a criminal record will make it difficult to do things you once took for granted, like getting a job or renting an apartment.
You can fight the criminal charges against you and avoid these consequences, and our experienced Los Angeles elder abuse attorneys can help. Call us today to schedule a free consultation and learn more.

The first Power of Diversity breakfast of 2018 kicked off this year's series of talks with a bang on Thursday 3rd May at Allianz Global Investors - with over 90 senior people from City businesses in attendance. We heard from leading figures in the sector talking about strategies to address gender balance, in the wake of recent published results which show that City firms have an average pay gap of 22%.
Some of our highlights:
James taylor, Sodexo, said: "Over 5 years our study found that gender balanced teams are better teams. Their operating profits are higher, client retention is better and their accident rates are lower. There is a strong business case for getting gender balance right."
Emily Cox explained how Virgin Money have set themselves targets to have a 50/50 gender balance by 2020 - "If you want to solve an issue you get the people who are accountable for the business to own it".
Sally Boyle talked us through Goldman Sachs' game changing sponsorship programme that involves the individual's line manager and a senior sponsor who can advocate for them.
Peter Harrison shared how Schroders published their gender pay gap 1 year earlier than required and in the intervening year had closed the gap by about 9% and increased the number of senior women by 23%.
The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor, Alderman Charles Bowman and the Lady Mayoress attended the breakfast session. He observed that "the case is clear, we are better off economically and personally when women make up an equal part of the workforce at every level, women are under-represented in top jobs in 1 in 5 companies."
It was the combination of leadership on the issue of gender balance and strategies being employed by these organisations to deliver change, which caught the imagination of the invited audience.
"The morning provided great insights into driving diversity from the top as well as relevant practical insights" Sophie Stead, Catalyst
"It was a really useful session, packed with action oriented discussion" Lucinda Wakefield, BNY Mellon

Vermont Summer Festival
Six Weeks of Top Equestrian Competition in Vermont's Green Mountains
Serena Gerry Scores Victory at Vermont Summer Festival
Jul 09, 2011 For Immediate Release, MEDIA CONTACT: Jennifer Ward for Jump Media LLC, Tel: 518-586-6258.
"Serena Gerry and Tanavelle won the $1,500 NAL/WIHS Children's Jumper Classic on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at the Vermont Summer Festival horse show in East Dorset, Vermont."

For high resolution photograph, please email Jennifer Ward at Starting Gate Communications.
East Dorset, Vermont — Serena Gerry of Locust Valley, New York, claimed victory in the $1,500 NAL/WIHS Children's Jumper Classic held Saturday, July 9, at the Vermont Summer Festival in East Dorset, VT.
A total of eight riders returned for the jump-off over the course designed by Alan Wade of Ireland. Gerry posted a jump-off time of 36.46 seconds riding Tanavelle, but four more riders were still to come. The very last challenger, Emma Schauder of Greenwich, Connecticut, guided Ah Ha around the shortened jump-off track, but her time of 36.88 fell just short of taking the win.
"The last girl was so close," said Gerry, 17, who has been training with Holly Hill Farm of Marston Mills, Massachusetts, for the past three years. "I was watching and I got a little nervous. But either way, I would have been happy with my round."
Of her horse's jump-off performance Gerry noted, "He felt a little quiet starting off today, but as soon as the buzzer went, he was ready to go and ready to turn, and he was showing me the jumps!"
Gerry began riding Tanavelle, known as 'Tanner' around the stable, in the winter of 2010. On Friday, the pair finished third in the High Children's jumper competition before returning to the ring for Saturday's win.
She described her horse's personality by saying, "He's a little cuddle bug; he is almost like a pony. He is very friendly – not a grumpy horse at all. He walks up to anyone who crosses his path to look in their pockets and try to find treats."
Gerry, who attends Brooks School in Massachusetts, will be traveling abroad for her senior year, studying at St. Stephens in Rome, Italy. She plans to continue her competitive career while also pursuing her education.
"I will always make riding work; it will be in my life, no matter what my focus," said Gerry, who is interested in studying psychology and international relations. "I am not going to pick a college for the riding. I am going to choose what I am interested in and then fit riding in."
The balancing act should not prove problematic for Gerry. Even during high school, she was able to successfully pursue her education while also traveling south on the weekends to compete at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida.
"You have to learn how to manage your time, but I have been doing it since I was little so I have gotten the hang of it," she smiled. "It is worth it. It is worth sacrificing school events, like prom."
This is the second year that Gerry has competed at the Vermont Summer Festival, and in addition to riding in the Children's Jumper division with Tanavelle, she also competes in the equitation divisions with flashy French-bred chestnut, Kaiser de la Cour.
"I like the nature, and I love this show," said Gerry, who started riding with her family before she can even remember. "I love that we are in a little valley in the middle of nowhere. It is absolutely beautiful, and the town is fun. I went hiking and climbed part of Mt. Equinox the other day. I love it here."
Another rider who loves the Vermont Summer Festival is Alissa Kinsey. Frequent visitors to the winner's circle, Kinsey and the evergreen Grisset claimed yet another victory in Vermont, this time in Saturday's $2,500 NAL Adult Amateur Jumper Classic. Five horses jumped off for the win, but Kinsey's time of 33.79 seconds was almost three seconds faster than second place finisher Camilla Bennett, who stopped the clock in 36.21 riding Bantry Bay.
The North American League offers year-long Series in six divisions – Children's Hunter, Adult Hunter, Children's Jumper, Adult Jumper, Pony Jumper, and Low Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper. The 2010-2011 season marks the first time that the NAL features two year-end finals. Joining the NAL's traditional National Finals at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show are new West Coast Finals at the Las Vegas National Horse Show.
The NAL includes classes held at hundreds of horse shows across the United States and Canada. Riders need not be members of the NAL to compete in the qualifying classes, but only members earn points toward the year-end finals. With the annual membership fee only $35, many riders join in hopes of earning points that may qualify them for a trip to Harrisburg or Las Vegas. For more information regarding the NAL series, including series specifications, current standings and a list of upcoming events, please call (717) 867-5643, email [email protected] or visit www.ryegate.com.
The first week of the six-week Vermont Summer Festival features the $30,000 Vermont Summer Special Grand Prix, presented by The Equinox Resort and Spa, beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.
Offering more than $750,000 in prize money, the Vermont Summer Festival is the richest sporting event based on purse in the state of Vermont. The first five Sundays of the Vermont Summer Festival feature a $30,000 Grand Prix at 1 p.m., culminating with the $50,000 Vermont Summer Celebration Grand Prix on Sunday, August 14. In addition to the $10,000 Open Welcome Stake, Presented by Manchester Designer Outlets, held each Friday, the weekly $10,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior/Amateur-Owner Classics are hotly contested. New for 2011, the Vermont Summer Festival will host a $5,000 Hunter Derby each Thursday five of the six weeks.
The six-week equestrian competition is running at Harold Beebe Farm from July 6 through August 14, 2011. Competition begins at 8 a.m. daily, Wednesday through Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children, Wednesday through Saturday. On Grand Prix Sunday, admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children.

The best defense against any illness is a healthy and strong immune system, and one of the best routes for a healthy, strong immune system is a healthful diet. But occasionally, bacteria or a virus do pierce through your armor, and sickness is the result. Thankfully, there are tons of different natural solutions for both preventing and remedying sickness. You probably know a bunch already, but here's another natural cold and flu treatment you can add to the list – black elderberry.
Black elderberry has been used in folk medicine for centuries. The bush is found in Europe and North America, where it is considered an "elder" plant in Native American healing. It's been used by native tribes and Europeans as an immune booster and general tonic throughout the ages, while also being served as a food source in wines and syrup.
Rich in antioxidants, black elderberry contains quercetin, rutin, and anthocyanins—all of which help to protect the cells against damage and illness. The berries and flowers both have antiviral and antimicrobial properties, making them great healers.
It has even been suggested that black elderberry could kill the H1N1 virus.
Researchers with Hadassah University said the berries work on a cellular level to protect cells against inflammation and bolster the immune system.
Black elderberry is available in supplement form. If you find the bush growing wild, do not eat the berries raw, as they may be poisonous unless cooked.
We love elderberries! Thanks for this great, researched article. It's nice to see that it's not just folklore.


Autoflowering feminized marijuana seeds are a great choice for beginner and veteran breeders alike. This is because they are easy to cultivate and produce a great yield. Depending on the weed strain, the average yield that autoflowering plants produce is about 150 to 400 grams/m2.
Those are great numbers but there is a way that you can get the maximum yield potential for autoflowering strains with just a few simple steps that you can easily follow.
Before you get on to the right way to gain maximum yield for your autoflowering strains, it is best to understand exactly what they are. Autoflowering cannabis seeds produce plants that flower automatically without the need to rely on their photoperiod or light cycle. This means that they grow at a faster pace than regular cannabis seeds and flower depending on their maturity and not on their light exposure.
Another thing you have to note with autoflowering seeds is that they are all feminized meaning that each and every plant is sure to produce buds that are worth harvesting. They also grow under low maintenance and have short statures making them ideal for outdoor cultivation.
Like all cannabis strains, no auto strain is created equal. It all depends on the type of cannabis strain that you ultimately choose. Let's say for example you choose a sativa dominant strain that comes as an autoflowering seed. Although the yields may be higher than your regular sativa plant, that is not to say that you'll be swimming in heavy buds by harvest.
Do your research and choose what type of strain you want to get before ordering. It doesn't mean if they are autoflowering plants that you'll get the most yield for your buck.
With the fast pace of growth that autoflowering strains have, even the shortest stress time can stunt their growth and cause a lesser yield. This is why it is highly recommended to do as little techniques and such to these plants as possible and leave them relaxed and peaceful to do their own thing.
One of the best ways to do this is to germinate and grow them in the same pot as they would be in mature. It may seem daunting to inexperienced breeders but this is actually the easiest way to give these plants the best start in growth as possible.
Another way you can go about keeping your autos stress-free is to not use techniques like bending and ScrOG. They grow in a rapid rate and can be too fragile to bend too much.
Even though autoflowering feminized marijuana seeds do not require a set light cycle to bloom, it doesn't mean that they don't need light. Like all cannabis plants, the more lumens they get the better weed production they have. The most recommended light cycle is the 20-4 hour or the 18-6 hour schedule. This is normally used for the vegetative stage for regular cannabis plants but for autos, this cycle is recommended to be used from start to finish.
You can do this with LED if you are growing indoors but HIDs also work perfectly. For outdoor cultivation, it is recommended to start the autos indoors for the first two weeks then transfer them to a warm and sunny environment. You can even grow them outdoors as early as spring since they are pretty resilient plants.
You can check out more about lighting cycles for autoflowering plants here.
Watering your autoflowering plants are critical to ensuring a great harvest. With its short crop time, there really isn't any time for you to have to care for sickly plants that are over or under water.
You can easily invest in a water meter or monitoring device to let you know if the plants are in need of some water. Or you can go the old-fashioned route and base it on the weight of the pots. Either way, you should make sure to drain the water runoff to make sure that they won't get any root rot.
When it comes to autoflowering cannabis strains, they are not the types of plants that require too many nutrients to grow at their best potential. In fact, it is more recommended to use nutrients with these plants sparingly. Even the soil medium for autos are more recommended to be in the lighter side since these plants have the tendency to get nutrient burn if overfertilized.
There are auto-specific nutrients out there in the market already. Although they are still new, they are steadily becoming the go-to product for auto breeders out there.
Throw out the regular cannabis cultivation handbook when you are dealing with autoflowering cannabis plants. There really is no need for all the training methods and pruning that regular cannabis usually requires. The only major technique that you'll need to master and apply is the Sea of Green Method. Their short stature and short crop time make it perfect for this method.
All the weeks of waiting and caring for your autos can just go down the drain if you don't flush these plants out before harvest. Even though you've used little to no nutrients on these cannabis plants it is always a good practice. Reserve at least the last week before harvest to do this. All you have to do is flush the plants out with pure water or a light flushing solution. You'll reap the rewards of an untainted bud if you do.
Are Autoflowering Marijuana Seeds also Feminized?

UK Anti-Doping will this week argue for stronger penalties for drug cheats in its submission to the second major review of the global code that underpins its work.
In its response to the World Anti-Doping Agency's consultation ahead of a wide-ranging review of its rules, UKAD will push for a debate on the best way to prosecute coaches and support staff of athletes who are caught cheating. Ahead of an anti-doping conference in London that begins on Wednesday, UKAD is finalising its initial response to Wada's review for a new code due to come into force in 2013.
Most serious doping offences carry a two-year ban. UKAD will stop short of requesting a blanket four-year ban, as proposed by some in sport to ensure that anyone caught intentionally doping is banned for a full Olympic cycle. It fears that would be open to legal challenge as excessive and put at risk the principle that athletes bear responsibility for anything found in their system.

Q: Excel VBA - copy&paste a whole row from a closed workbook to my active workbook if certain criteria are met Currently I have a workbook with a macro that imports data regarding information about active notifications for outstanding work on aircraft from a text file that is automatically saved to a location every 2hrs. Each row is for a different notification and in each column is data such as notification number, aircraft Registration, description of work, required completion time etc.
A separate macro then re-organises the data into the correct format.
The user can then write remarks about the progress of the work next to the notification in another column.
A final macro then archives this by saving a copy of this file to a folder with a specific name dependent on the date/time called "WORK PLAN hhmm_ddmmyyyy".
Because not all of these notifications are completed in the 2hrs between text file dumps the newly imported data will contain the active notifications from the previous text file that have not been fully completed as well as a bunch of new notifications. The problem is that when the new text file is imported by the user into the active workbook all of the remarks are lost. To save copying and pasting manually the remarks for each notification that is still active from the archived file I would like a macro to be able to do this.
I need a macro that can recognise any notification numbers in column I that are present in both the most recently archived workbook and my active workbook, and then copies that row from the archived workbook and pastes it over the row with the same notification number in the active workbook.

A: Here is some code that Opens a readyonly version of a file.
Determines the rows and columns and adds the data from the readonly file to the first empty row on the sheet.
Sub OpenWB()'You will need to open the workbook as readonly. that way the original one is not busy when the other macro tries to update it.

Game 16 – Warrior Wishes Come True On A Record Breaking Night In New Orleans!
My dad kicked off this week on Thursday night & made Warrior Wishes come true in New England.
He stopped home for less than 24 hours and took an overnight bus Saturday night from Chicago to KC to host warriors in the rain at the Chiefs game yesterday.
And spent last night at the Kansas City Airport to catch his early morning flight to New Orleans to make Wishes come true at the Monday Night Saints game!
Unfortunately, when my dad arrived in "the big easy," it was still raining. I don't think he had dried out from the day before… Thankfully the saints play in a dome!
Upon arrival, my dad got to work finalizing plans for the day. Today we had the honor of hosting Air Force Veteran Bobby Lovergne & Desert Storm veteran Perry Mueller at the Saints game. My dad met up with Bobby & Perry for dinner before the game at Walk on's sports bar. They enjoyed getting to know each other over some delicious Jambalaya & Pecan Pie!
Walk On's is the place to be on gamedays! There's really no better way to describe the uniqueness of Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar. They start every dish from scratch and use fresh ingredients to bring mouthwatering, Cajun cuisine to life. And whether you're going there for dinner with the family, date night, cocktails with the girls or to watch a game on the big screen, they're always happy to share their Louisiana culture with you. Make sure to stop by an authentic New Orleans experience next time you are in town!
The group eventually made their way over to the stadium to tailgate with some Saints super fans before the game.
There was a lot of buzz surrounding this game due to the fact that Saints QB, Drew Brees was closing in on becoming the All time passing yards leader! Everyone was in New Orleans was hoping history was going to be made!
After tailgating and spending some time in "Champions Square" the guys made their way inside the Mercedes Benz Super Dome to watch the Saints & Redskins kick off.
The Saints wasted little time and marched down the field & scores a TD on their fist possession of the game to take the early lead. The Redskins answered with a filed goal of their own to cut the lead in half before the fireworks began to go off in the 2nd quarter.
The Saints scored 3 Touchdowns in the 2nd quarter including the record breaking 62 yard TD pass to rookie Tre'Quan Smith! The warriors celebrated the achievement & the score along with 70,000+ fans in the dome!
I watched the game at home and personally was cheering on Drew Brees. He is one of the best to ever play the game & an absolutely amazing person off the field too! Drew uses his "celebrity" status in all the right ways. He is a great humanitarian & and inspiration. He is a role model & an inspiration. I absolutely loved Drew's message to his kids after he broke the record. He said "You can accomplish anything in life that your willing to work for." It was an awesome moment!
It's the truth, absolutely nothing is impossible! If you want it bad enough & work hard enough to achieve it, you can do it. The only one that can stop you is yourself!
After Drew broke the record, it was all Saints! The Redskins looked deflated in the 2nd half & the Saints went on to win 43-19! Despite the lopsided score, my dad said the overall experience was incredible! The warriors had a great time cheering their team to victory & their QB into the history books!
Operation Warrior Wishes would like to thank New Era for providing the Saints caps to the warriors, Walk On's for providing the pregame meal and Ben "Cyborg" Saint for hosting the warriors at your Pregame tailgate!
Game 15 – Warrior Wishes Come True At The Kansas City Chiefs Game!


Made two of these for a couple of baby showers. Used a jelly roll from Big Lots for the fence rail and some plush fleece yardage for the backing. It was thick enough, I didn't need backing. I machine quilted it and used the 'birthing a quilt' method to bind it. There was enough backing material left over that I also made a 'pillow pal' to go with the quilt.


Using the latest advanced fabrics and innovative design approaches, Aqua Sphere's 2016 range of Triathlon Wet Suits offer a technologically advanced suit for every level of athlete, plus a design specifically for young teenagers.
Unveiled at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, the 2016 Phantom uses super-stretch neoprene and panel configurations constructed in multiple thicknesses for flotation with minimal restriction of movement – the result of in-depth research into stroke mechanics, human kinetics, and built foremost for speed.
Back and waist compression panels and an internal waistband stabilize the body's core muscles to improve posture and provide a more streamlined body position. This results in more powerful hip rotation to maximize speed. A bio stretch zone of 1mm super thin wraparound panels enables the Phantom to shadow the natural movements of the shoulders, upper body and core rotation. Finally, an improved extended-length reverse zipper and quick release ankle transition panels deliver Aqua Sphere's fastest suit removal capability.
As these are not the first suits created by the company, which has been in operation since 1998, 2016 designs boost the performance of older models, with modifications from testing with leading global athletes. Ironman World Champions Faris al Sultan and Tim O'Donnell had a say in high-impact new graphics emblazoned across the torso. These graphics give the suits a distinctive muscular look. Aqua Sphere also innovates goggles to accompany their suits.
The Racer and Challenger suits have properties for the competitive athlete, while beginners will be reassured by the warmth and buoyancy available from the Pursuit.
Aqua Sphere is swim kit partner to the Always Aim High events, which host the Snowdonia Slateman Triathlon as well as other iconic triathlons across the UK.

One in 10 town schoolchildren is obese
NEARLY one in 10 primary school children in Reading are obese.
That's what figures released by the Berkshire West Primary Care Trust (PCT) revealed this month.
But Val Elliott, strategic lead for health improvement at the PCT, told the Post that Reading was actually close to national levels of childhood obesity.
The PCT figures revealed 15.3 per cent of children aged 10 to 11 years (in Year Six) and 9.7 per cent of children aged four or five (in reception class) were obese.
Additionally, 14.5 per cent of children in Year Six and 11.4 per cent of children in reception class were overweight.
But Mrs Elliott said she hoped small changes in the town would eventually make a difference.
"Reading is about at the national level, which is at least one in 10 children who are obese [within primary school]," she said.
"It is a long process. The amount of people who are obese has trebled in the last 20 years and the figures continue to rise.
"If we can halt the rise within 10 years we will be doing well.
"We are on the ball but these things take time and we are fighting against a culture in which every high street is littered with fast food outlets.
"Obesity is clearly linked with increases in cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems and also has proven links with cancer. We have a massive job ahead of us but we are working hard to change the way people think about eating and exercising.
"Healthy eating is a big step forward and we are working closely with schools to encourage children to take school dinners which we know are nutritionally balanced.
"We are also looking to encourage physical activity within your day. This doesn't just mean sport, but things like walking to school and playing in the park.
"Every little thing will help to make a change in people's attitudes and we are working in partnership with schools, charities and Sport England to get people more active and interested in exercise.
"Part of the work has been in creating a School's Nutrition Action Group (SNAGs) which is under the healthy school initiative encouraging each school to develop their own menu for the children with the help of a dietetic specialist.
"As the PCT, we are not able to change the culture but we hope that by doing little things we can, over time, help people to think differently about health, eating and physical activity. Small changes can make a big difference."
Berkshire West PCT has developed an Obesity Strategic Group which will be launching an obesity strategy for public consultation within the year.

A Chinese software manager has been sentenced after being found guilty of stealing approximately $1 million from Huaxia Bank ATMs containing security weaknesses.
The 43-year-old former manager employed in Huaxia Bank's software and technology development center spotted a "loophole" in the bank's core operating system which offered an unrecorded timeframe in which to make withdrawals, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
Qin Qisheng realized that cash withdrawals made close to midnight were not recorded by the bank's systems in 2016, and in the same year, began systematically abusing the glitch.
Qin wrote a number of scripts which, once implanted in the bank's software, allowed him to probe the loophole without raising suspicion.
It appears these tests were successful as the software chief then made withdrawals for over a year of between $740 and $2,965, the publication says.
The money had to come from somewhere, and so Qin used a "dummy account" established by the bank for testing purposes.
In total, Chinese law enforcement says that the former manager was able to steal over seven million yuan, equivalent to roughly $1 million.
Huaxia Bank eventually uncovered the scheme, which Qin attempted to explain away as "internal security tests." When it came to the money, the software manager said the funds were simply "resting" in his own account but were due to be returned to the bank.
In an interesting turn of events, the financial institution did accept his explanation and fixed the problem. Law enforcement, however, did not believe the story and eventually arrested him for theft in December 2018.
Qin was given a jail term of ten and a half years, and on appeal, the sentence was upheld.
Huaxia Bank asked Chinese authorities to drop the case once the money was returned, of which all of the proceeds were recovered. This request was not accepted as "legitimate" by law enforcement, and therefore Qin must serve his sentence.
Glitches, skimmers, and software weaknesses are not the only methods criminals exploit in order to force ATMs to spew out cash. Last year, researchers uncovered a range of malware designed specifically for attacks against Bitcoin-based ATMs up for sale in the Dark Web.
Malicious code which exploits so-called "service vulnerabilities" and malware which disconnects alarms from ATM systems to stop them sounding are on sale for roughly $25,000.

Progammes
Depending on your particular interest and capacity, there are a range of programmes we support which solicitors from member firms can get involved with:
The Not-For-Profits Programme connects small not-for-profit organisations in need of legal support with the skills and expertise of lawyers, to support the continuation and expansion of their services to people in need.
Secondary specialisation is a programme to support lawyers in firms and in-house teams to develop expertise in areas of social welfare law and employment where need is significant and supply increasingly limited.

The weekly pro bono clinic works in partnership with Citizens Advice County Durham to provide legal advice to clients in the local Durham community. This clinic has always operated an online model, and as such, is well established to adapt to current circumstances. Due to increased demand, the clinic is looking to expand their current offering to be able to assist more clients.
There is no law centre in the Exeter area and no law firm in Exeter with an immigration legal aid contract so many migrants in the region do not receive the advice they need. The Immigration Law Clinic is a project set up by the University of Exeter Law School with support from the University of Law, Refugee Support Devon and others. The aim is to address this absence of legal advice, while giving law students first-hand experience of immigration law in practice.
The University of Law in Liverpool has recently launched a new free legal advice clinic. The clinic is helping Ulaw's post graduate students practice their professional skills whilst supporting the local community with as many different legal issues as possible.

Data Warehouse Consultants worked with the Heart Center at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to convert a Microsoft Access database tracking hundreds of thousands of patients into an enterprise-class web application based on ASP.NET and Microsoft SQL Server. This application has evolved to include patient tracking for various areas within the department including Adult Cardiology, Heart Failure and Heart Surgery among other areas. The live HL7 feed from the core EMR provider keeps the department's database up-to-date, which saves time for heart center staff and allows them to focus on more effective delivery of care.

UMB Welcomes President's Distinguished Scholar Cooper
May 11, 2022 | By Lou Cortina
In his role as the University of Maryland, Baltimore's (UMB) second President's Distinguished Scholar, Luke Cooper, JD, MBA, has a multipronged vision that includes steering more of UMB's procurement budget to minority-owned businesses in West Baltimore and giving local children hope that they could be those business owners of the future.
On the second point, Cooper stands as an inspiring example of someone who rose from disadvantaged youth to distinguished achiever, first as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer and now as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. During a "Welcome to UMB" reception May 2 at Forno Restaurant & Wine Bar, he told a crowd of 40 guests about how a short plane ride at age 12 started him on that upward trajectory.
Luke Cooper speaks to UMB President Bruce Jarrell, vice president for research Gregory Ball, and others at a welcome reception May 2.
"I grew up in Bridgeport, Conn., which is a city about half the size of Baltimore but with about 150 percent of its problems," said Cooper, who has lived in Baltimore for the past 20 years. "One Saturday morning, my mom said, 'We're going on a trip,' and she took us over to Sikorsky Airport. We got in a tiny Cessna and flew over parts of Bridgeport. I could see the projects for the first time from that distance, and it created a distance in me, a distance from that reality.
"What it told me was that where I am is not who I am — that my life could take a different shape and a different direction than the one that I was given," he added. "I hope through our efforts at UMB, we can demonstrate to the kids in West Baltimore that they can be so much more than their circumstance. And I think tech entrepreneurship is one of those paths for Black kids in this city."
Cooper certainly knows all about tech entrepreneurship. In 2007, he sold his first company, CTS, a cybersecurity software firm, to defense contractor CACI. In 2020, he sold his company Fixt, an on-demand mobile device support and repair startup, to risk management company Assurant.
He is a partner at San Francisco-based Preface Ventures and the CEO of Latimer, a $250 million venture capital fund he founded in 2021 with the mission to elevate the experience of Black tech entrepreneurs; provide training curriculum and advisory services to founders who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color; and facilitate strategic connections among investors, Fortune 1000 acquirers, and high-growth companies.
In February, UMB President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, announced Cooper as UMB's President's Distinguished Scholar, succeeding Norman R. Augustine, MSE, the retired chair and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corp., who focused on topics such as crisis management, organizational effectiveness, and learning from success or failure. Jarrell saw Cooper, who was familiar with the University as a former member of the UMB Foundation (UMBF) Board of Trustees, as a perfect fit for the role of exploring how to leverage UMB's financial assets with its community engagement efforts.
"I remember a UMBF board meeting awhile back, and Luke asked a question about our investment portfolio: How many Black-owned businesses were involved in the portfolio?" Jarrell said. "More importantly, he made the distinction between Black individuals working for a company versus a company that was owned by Black individuals.
"We have been talking for a long time about how to increase the amount of UMB involvement in small businesses and not-so-small businesses in West Baltimore. How do we figure out what obstacles are preventing us as an institution from doing more business with our neighbors? So the idea is to ask that question from the direction of an entrepreneur looking in, as opposed to an administrator looking out. This is what Luke will be doing as he focuses on wealth development in West Baltimore."
On Cooper's LinkedIn page, he says his UMB responsibilities include research, data analysis, speaking, and having dialogue with institutional leaders, students, and stakeholders to create economic empowerment throughout West Baltimore, leveraging technology and the University's core values of equity and justice. His familiarity with UMB is a starting point, but he said he's learning even more from conversations with University leaders.
"I want to first understand every aspect of the institution," Cooper said. "I was fortunate to have been a UMBF trustee for the better part of two years, so that gave me a viewpoint, for sure. But it also gave me a bias, right? So I want to back away from that bias by talking to new people such as Dr. [Diane] Forbes Berthoud, the University's new chief equity, diversity, and inclusion officer. I've talked to two of the school deans and the head of UMB's Administration and Finance. And all of that has given me a greater perspective about UMB.
"On procurement, for example, there might be $45 million to $50 million in PCard [Corporate Purchase Card] usage that's not tied to real economic development in Baltimore, because of the discretion of the PCard user," he added. "And this is money that might miss the Black and brown people of our local communities. So I'm just working now to understand the people, the networks, and how the system works."
Cooper also is approaching the President's Distinguished Scholar role with his signature style, proudly proclaiming, "I'm a rabble-rouser. I tend to ruffle feathers and disrupt things wherever I go, because I want to make things better. I want to make the table that we are all sitting at a longer table, so that everybody can participate in the conversation that we're having about UMB and its role in supporting economic empowerment in West Baltimore."

News quiz for week ending 12/9/16
Posted on December 9, 2016 in Friday's News Quiz
DIRECTIONS: For the bolded part of each statement, circle the correct answer. (10 points each)
1. Concerned about tribal rights, energy development and the environment, members of Native American tribes, liberal activists, and environmentalists have been protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline for more than 13 / 113 days.
2. The Dakota Access Pipeline is 1,170 miles long and can transport up to 500,000 barrels of oil a day. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe is protesting a portion of the pipeline because they are concerned it could pollute the Missouri River, the tribe's main source of drinking water Though the pipeline goes through tribal / private land and not Native American property, the tribe contends this land was acquired improperly and actually belongs to them by the terms of an 1851 treaty with the U.S. government.
3. The USS Zumwalt, the US Navy's most technologically advanced warship, broke down for the second / twenty-second time since being commissioned in October while transiting through the Panama Canal on November 22nd.
4. The USS Zumwalt's design makes the ship appear no larger than a fishing vessel / oil tanker on radar and is designed to get closer to shore to support land operations. It is a multipurpose warship able to fight at sea and bombard targets on land with its missiles and new projectile system.
5. Ray Chavez is the oldest known living U.S. military veteran of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. He is 94 / 104 years old.
6. As Mr. Chavez traveled from his home in San Diego to Pearl Harbor this week, where he was to be honored at a ceremony marking the 50th / 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack, he said, "Well, I'm not exactly a hero, because there were thousands of other heroes, too. But I'm very proud of the honor bestowed on me," he added.
7. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Adm. Husband Kimmel commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet and Lt. Gen. Walter Short commanded the U.S. Army's forces in Hawaii. Following a brief investigation, a presidential commission found Kimmel and Short guilty of being "absent without leave AWOL" / "dereliction of duty".
8. In 1944, a Naval Court of Inquiry virtually cleared Kimmel of any failure. From the start, Adm. Chester Nimitz, Kimmel's replacement as commander in the Pacific, thought it wrong / right to place the blame on his predecessor. And in the late 1940s, other admirals began speaking out.
9. Amazon is launching a new grocery store set up to operate without junk food / cashiers. Customers will use an app – as they shop, their items get added to a virtual cart on the app — and subtracted if they put them back — with receipts emailed to them once they leave, according to the company.
10. One industry expert estimated that Amazon's cutting-edge technology has the potential to wipe out 5 percent / 75 percent of typical grocery-store staff.

8 Best Movies & Shows Released in 2021 On Korea South
1. Sex Education, 2021
Pressured by the feeling that everyone is having sex except him, Otis (Asa Butterfield), like most teenagers, is very uncomfortable with sex, masturbation, and intimacy in general. In addition to the standard-issue teenage awkwardness, to make things worse, he grows up in a sex-positive household under the watchful eyes of his mother Jean, played by Gillian Anderson, who is a sex therapist. Obviously, the subject is omnipresent as are erotic art, oversized dildos, and coitus-craving couples all over the house. The twist comes when he transforms his tribulations into a business model by teaming up with bad girl Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey) to counsel his teenage peers on sexual issues of all kinds. As you can imagine, uninitiated teenagers have a lot to offer in that department. Apart from its raunchy premise and explicit images, this is a hilarious, diverse, and warm teen comedy thanks, in particular, to the writing of playwright Laurie Nunn. Lauded by critics for its honesty, this future comedy classic will surely teach you a thing or two about sexuality yourself.
2. The Baby-Sitters Club, 2021
Vibrant and quirky in a way that always rings true for its plucky protagonists, this abruptly cancelled children's series embodies the optimism and empathetic spirit that we should all hope to gain from the younger generations. By starting their own neighborhood business, the core characters of The Baby-Sitters Club (played with undeniable star power and chemistry by its young ensemble) learn how to bring joy and healing to others while facing everything from discrimination and generational trauma to their own imperfect family lives. Behind the club's humorous, sugarcoated antics is a real sense of helplessness that each character struggles with—forging ahead and doing whatever they can to fix things that they've been told are out of their control. It's an unexpectedly touching gem of a show that proves kids' entertainment can be truly beautiful.
3. On My Block, 2021
TV has never been as diverse as it's been today, but despite the multitude of perspectives, nailing an authentic and enjoyable story that's outside the realm of the classic white experience continues to be tricky. How do you relay very real dangers like gang violence and poverty without undermining universal teenage concerns like heartbreak and rejection?
Enter On My Block, a series that manages to stuff many things on its small plate without compromise. It's funny and charming, but also smart and serious when it needs to be. Unlike a number of teen sitcoms before it, On My Block is in touch with the real world, and it's unafraid to shove its characters into difficult situations at every and any moment—not just during special episodes. This authentic setup coupled with its very likable and well-drawn leads is sure to draw in viewers of all leanings.
4. Limbo, 2020, 2021
This offbeat drama is about a Syrian refugee who gets sent to a remote island in northern Scotland. "There was a better signal in the middle of the Mediterranean," another refugee tells him when he arrives. Omar is as the title suggests stuck: until his asylum request is processed he can't work or continue his journey onwards. His situation is frustrating and difficult, but it's also full of absurdities, as Omar is stuck around some very weird people.
Limbo perfectly portrays the duality between sad and nonsensical in the refugee experience. In the entrance to the isolated and rundown facility that houses Omar, a handmade sign said "refugees welcome". The next day a "not" is added between "refugees" and "welcome", in the exact same paint.
If you like Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki's work, this has a similar brand of dark humor to his also refugee-themed 2017 drama The Other Side of Hope.
5. Never Have I Ever, 2022
This comedy is about a girl whose family moves to the U.S. on September 2001. She grows up to excel academically but, as she asks from the shrine in her room on her first day of sophomore year, she has yet to be cool. "I want to be invited to a party with hard drugs," she prays, "not to do them, but just to say: no cocaine for me, thanks. I'm good."
The show is narrated by tennis legend John McEnroe who was known for his explosive temper (played recently by Shia Laboeuf in Borg vs McEnroe). It's a genius arc because Devi is a "hothead", exactly like McEnroe. Instead of recoiling, Devi keeps boiling over, making for a fresh and original high-school comedy.
6. Élite, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
Three kids from a poor neighborhood win scholarships to the best high-school in Spain and later find themselves at the center of a murder. There is a lot that comes to the surface from the working-class kids clashing with the wealthy. Themes of money, power, religion, and even sexuality make this show so compelling that I never felt like I needed a murder to keep watching.
Every Streaming Service Available Right Now (100+)
7. Atypical, 2021
Keir Gilchrist who you may know from the movie It's Kind of a Funny Story plays Sam, an 18-year-old on the autistic spectrum trying to navigate the "typical" aspects of a teenager's life: dating, independence, friendships, etc. Perhaps people dealing with autism can better attest to this, but the show feels genuine and realistic. Don't get me wrong, it's a comedy, but it's a really heartfelt approach to the funny sitcom format. In a lot of ways, Atypical is the perfect 2017 Netflix-age coming-of-age sitcom: it's funny and smart, but also keen to be realistic. And Atypical is about Sam's family almost as much as it is about him, and how they adjust to his new quest for self-discovery. Look out for newcomer Brigette Lundy-Paine, who does an amazing job playing Sam's siter Casey!
8. Classmates Minus, 2020, 2021
It's slower and stranger than most comedies you may be used to, but there's still lots of heart to be found in the way Classmates Minus follows the lapsed hopes and wishes of its core characters. Beneath all its stereotypically male yearnings for control and romantic wish fulfillment, there are potent ideas here about how a tired economy and jaded political culture can turn those in their middle age into completely different people. Writer/director Huang Hsin-yao provides narration for his own film, but rather than being distracting or conceited, his words add a level of needed sympathy to everything we see on screen.
