As vice president of climate and clean energy programs at Ceres, Susan Reid oversees the sustainable-investment coalition's Clean Trillion initiative, which aims to boost global clean-energy investment by $1 trillion a year. Speaking with Entelligent, Reid says investors are doing their part, but that much more capital — especially from institutional investors — will be needed to keep global climate change within safe limits.
You're seeking $1 trillion a year in additional clean-energy investment. Are investors rising to that challenge?
They're starting to pick up to the scale and immediacy of the opportunity. There's increasing understanding that the clean energy transition is real, irreversible and inevitable at this point, and that it's where the opportunity lies. It's the opposite of the situation we're seeing with the coal sector, which has entered terminal structural decline. Clean energy is the flip side of that equation, and it's where the greatest upside exists.
The latest figures from Bloomberg New Energy Finance show that we've increased global clean energy investment from the baseline in the Clean Trillion report, which was $225 billion a year, to $329 billion a year. But we still need to double that $329 billion by the end of 2020.
Yes. There's no question that clean energy investment needs to be scaled up dramatically, and that's not going to happen without some policy interventions. But in January, we worked with BNEF to look at the gap between their business-as-usual projections for the power-generation sector, and the kind of investment needed to limit global climate change to 2 degrees Celsius. The conclusion back in January was that it was roughly a $5.2 trillion gap, in terms of the global investment needed between now and 2040.
Given changes we've seen this year — from China and their coal moratorium, to slowdowns in the build out of high-carbon resources, to the dramatic renewable-energy cost declines — that gap has already shrunk materially to something closer to $2.6 trillion. Again, that's only in the electric power sector. But the good news is the gap is shrinking.
What trends are helping to close that gap?
The Paris climate deal is a part of it — it sent a powerful market signal in terms of the world's commitment to clean energy transition, although its implementation will depend on a number of factors, including the adoption and implementation of rules and laws and incentives.
All of this is supported by two big mega-trends. One is the cost decline for leading clean energy technologies, particularly wind and solar, which has changed the competitive equation for clean-energy resources. And the other is that many companies — for a host of reasons, including a strong interest in having a hedge against the volatility of fossil fuel prices — are stepping up to secure their own clean energy.
That's a real paradigm shift from where we were before: these companies are dispelling the false notion that ambitious clean-energy and climate policies are somehow at odds with economic and business imperatives. There's a virtuous cycle: there's actual investment and action, which not only buttresses the resolve of regulators and policymakers, but also drives down costs and in turn leads to greater economies of scale.
How significant a role are institutional investors playing?
There's increasing interest — there have been escalating commitments from early movers like CalSTRS and NYSC, and some insurers are also stepping up. But the level of activity thus far pales in comparison to the scale of the opportunity. When you look at where we expect capital flows to ultimately come from, there's a particularly striking gap in the institutional investment sphere.
It's a combination of factors — some of the investment vehicles used for clean energy investment can be very different from the vehicles that have enabled the massive buildout of high-carbon infrastructure. The green bonds market is a classic example -- it's burgeoning, but not yet approaching the optimal level of scale and liquidity. There's definitely more investor appetite for green bonds, but we need to see more corporations and government entities getting past the first hurdle and doing initial issuances.
What's the pitch to institutional investors? Why should they care about clean energy?
The major component of many institutional investors' portfolios that's devoted to energy is still largely high carbon. But that's not the future: the world is moving away from that, and a lot of those resources bear tremendous stranded-asset risks. When you juxtapose that with the clean energy investment opportunity, and the forecast in terms of where we're going — because of cost declines in clean energy, and also because of the Paris agreement and other policy commitments — it's quite clear where the upside opportunities lie.
The mechanics of getting there, and the development of different investment vehicles that meet the profiles of different classes of investors — that's where some catching-up needs to happen, building on proven clean energy investment tools. But we see ourselves on this pathway in a very real and concrete way. Investors should be open to taking a big-picture view of the energy transition that's underway.
What are the big unanswered questions for the clean-energy sector?
There are some uncertainties over exactly when and how some of the providers of energy are going to evolve. There's still an opportunity for many utilities, especially in North America, to adapt their business model to be aligned with clean energy deployment, but there's uncertainty over which ones are going to evolve, and which ones are going to go the way of the coal companies.
And the same is true of the oil and gas majors — the Saudis have committed to make a striking transition, and we've seen Statoil (NYSE: STO) making a big foray into offshore wind, but what are we going to see in terms of Exxon (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and so forth? There are real questions about which of the big oil companies are going to pivot, and push to retain long term value. We know the low-carbon transition is going to happen, and many different entities still have opportunities to position themselves as winners rather than losers, but there's a lot of uncertainty about which companies will take those opportunities.
Speaking of losers, we've recently seen Abengoa (OTCMKTS: ABGBY) and SunEdison (OTCMKTS: SUNEQ) run into trouble. Is this still a good time to be a clean-energy investor?
Absolutely! It's certainly not advisable to be making big forays into high carbon at this time — that's where the principal risks lie. On the clean-energy side, it's all about finding the right opportunities that meet the risk-return profiles for different classes of investors. But there's no question that the opportunities are out there. Clean energy, not high carbon, is where the dollars are expected to flow.

Did a Couple Find Out They Were Biological Twins During IVF Treatment?
Reports that a couple seeking to conceive via IVF discovered through DNA testing that they were fraternal twins are fake news.
Image Via Shutterstock
A couple seeking to conceive via IVF discovered through DNA testing that they were fraternal twins.
In mid-April 2017, a number of online publications in the U.S. and UK (including the Daily Mail, Fox News, the Inquisitr, Metro, the Mirror, and the Evening Standard) published accounts of a couple who supposedly sought treatment to conceive via IVF, only to discover to their shock that they were biological twins:
A married couple who struggled to conceive only discovered they were twins when they went through IVF.
The unnamed couple underwent the treatment to help them have a baby.
But doctors at the fertility lab noticed their DNA was abnormally similar.
At first, lab technicians believed the pair may be unwitting cousins, but soon ruled that out because the DNA was too similar.
Eventually doctors confronted the pair, who burst out in laughter when they were asked if they were related.
All of these reports were based on a single source, an article published on 13 April 2017 on the Mississippi Herald web site:
Jackson husband & wife shocked after DNA test reveals they are biological twins
A doctor at a fertility clinic in the Mississippi capital of Jackson has made a startling revelation concerning a couple who sought treatment at the center. The married pair, who cannot be named to due to patient confidentiality restrictions, had been struggling to conceive and came to the clinic to take part in the IVF program.
"During the in vitro fertilization process, we take a DNA sample from both the male and female to get a profile of their genetic backgrounds," the doctor involved told Mississippi Herald, whose name must also be suppressed to protect the identities of the patients.
"It's just a routine thing, and we wouldn't normally check to see if there was a relationship between the two samples, but in this case the lab assistant involved was shocked by the similarity of each profile." The lab assistant summoned the doctor, who knew almost instantly that the patients must have been related.
"My first reaction was that they must have been less-closely related; perhaps they were first cousins, which does happen sometimes. However, looking closer at the samples, I noticed there were way too many similarities." The doctor consulted the patient's files, and noted with shock that both had the exact same birth dates listed in 1984. "With this in mind, I was convinced that both patients were fraternal twins."
None of the outlets that republished this story seemed fazed by the fact that the Mississippi Herald report included no verifiable details (such as the byline of the reporter who wrote it, the name of the clinic, the identity of any medical specialist there, or the name of the patients involved). Or that the same site ran a similarly outrageous and non-detailed article about a man who claimed he was sexually seduced by a horse. Or that the Mississippi Herald's web site includes no contact information — no physical address, phone number, or e-mail address — for its office or any of its personnel. Or that there is no such newspaper as the Mississippi Herald (the closest matches are a Biloxi publication called the Mississippi Sun-Herald and Water Valley's small North Mississippi Herald), and the web site purporting to be such only sprang up online a few days before publishing the story referenced above. Or that the story was virtually identical word-for-word (save for the change in locale) to one published by the web site of another non-existent newspaper, the Denver Inquirer, back in December 2016 (also just after that site's establishment):
In short, both the Mississippi Herald and the Denver Inquirer are fake newspaper sites set up for no other ostensible purpose than to spread fictitious stories. And a number of online "news" publications ran with one of their fictitious stories without having made the slightest attempt to verify it, based on nothing more than one dubious source that should have raised a plethora of red flags in a real newsroom.

FCS Recap: You Can't Love What You Can't Imagine
July 26, 2017 August 16, 2017 / hillarywatson
There's this saying among environmentalists: we won't save a place we don't love; we can't love a place we don't know; and we can't know a place we haven't learned.
With regards to Future Church Summit, conventions in general, and whether or not Mennonite Church USA has any future relevant to anyone outside ourselves, I've come to a similar proverb: we won't create a future we don't love, we can't love a future we can't imagine, and we can't imagine a future if we need to control it.
The Church–the big-C, institutional church–wants to control the future; and so it cannot imagine the future; and it cannot love the future. The church is so assured that it is the future, it is God's divine will for the whole world, that it cannot embrace any future that contradicts its own self-centeredness. It doesn't really believe that God works outside churches–outside institutions, even–and so the church's primary orientation for the last 50 years has been fear. Fear of urbanization and fear of change and fear of changing sexual norms and fear of being found a fallible institution. The people who call Future Church Summit a first step, or the beginning of a process, are the ones who at some level grasp this reality.
I had hoped the Future Church Summit would be, if not life-changing, life-defining. I wanted Future Church Summit to be the moment that we–that the young people of the church–could stand above the dying institution, clapping our hands and shouting "We do believe in you!" until our imaginations resuscitated the pre-Constantinian Tinkerbell energy of our faith.
I knew that was unlikely. The church does not think it is a haughty six-inch muse to stubborn boys and the church does not think it is dying (pardon my redundancy). In that sense, Future Church Summit was less than I hoped.
But like the hard work of environmental conservation, we have multiple ingrained views to dismantle and rebuild before we can thrive. We have to move from controlling, to imagining, to loving.
I arrived at Future Church ready to imagine it.
It's possible that I mostly imagine the Future Church as a place where everyone understands the theological relevance of Hamilton.
But Future Church arrived ready to hold the long and soul-searching conversation about whether we could release control of our future. And we did. This was the first time in my memory that I've witnessed the institutional church–witnessed the conservative and moderate-conservatives who dominate our leadership–willingly release control. The planning team, maybe even the much-vilified Executive Board–spent months imaging a Future Church Summit they didn't have to control. And we did. We promised to take seriously a document that confesses we can't control the future. And we promised to try to imagine that future.
We didn't even touch the idea of trying to love the future we imagine but don't control. We might be years out from that kind of honest confession. But we moved down the right path. We stumbled away from our need to control. We didn't always do it gracefully–we didn't build enough places for conservatives to lament their loss of control, or enough places to hear them imagine a new place at the table they did not control.
Shout out to the moderates and conservatives doing the heavy lifting of re-framing conservative orientation to church dialogue.
We didn't build in enough space, either, to take seriously the proposition that our delegate sessions are a sham democracy that fail to represent the church. The Saturday morning events–best identified by the technical term "hot mess"–sent us all into flashbacks of our worst church meetings. But we got through it. We got a document that we can take seriously, regardless of the conservative and rushed wordsmithing (which is what it was).
It doesn't really matter, anyway, what shifted in the last half hour of the convention–many people had already left by that point, and the result remains theoretical.
The best case scenario for Future Church Summit, from the get go, was "resolving… to consider…."
We've theoretically embraced the brainstorming, un-doing, releasing control, that Future Church Summit endorsed. The document is supposed to be authoritative to church boards and institutions but we know–we all know–that many of those institutions will be eager to water down or shelve the unkempt dreaming of the Future Church.
We know the real challenge is implementation. We know with track records like Executive Board's bungled handling of the recent (non)appointment of a faithful gay Christian to a denominational committee, like Mennonite Mission Network's reluctant transition of its long-time leadership, like Mennonite Central Committee's firing of Wendi O'Neal, like Virginia Conference's disingenuous handling of sexual abuse allegations, like the delegate body's own convoluted approval of competing resolutions in Kansas City–we know how how much institutional resistance there is to "not controlling the future," much less, learning to imagine and love it.
That is the distance we strive to go between now and the next convention. So that when we gather in 2019, we can boldly state that we don't control the future–and because we don't control it, we will be willing to risk imagining it, even if our imaginations never come to fruition. And in the years after that, we will be willing to believe that we can love the future, as much as, maybe even more than, we love the past.

Q: NSDate timeInterval = nil I am trying to compare two NSDates one is created by the viewDidLoad method and the other by clicking a button. I want to be able to click the button and find the time difference since the viewDidLoad was ran. I keep getting a difference of nil. Any Ideas?
#import "TimeViewController.h"

id startTime;

@implementation TimeViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {

    NSDate *startTime = [NSDate date];
    NSLog(@"startTime = %@",startTime);
}

- (IBAction)buttonPressed{

    NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
    NSLog(@"now = %@",now);
    double timeInterval = [now timeIntervalSinceDate:startTime];
    NSLog(@"time difference = %@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%g",timeInterval]);

}

A: You have
id startTime;

in the global scope, and also
    NSDate *startTime = [NSDate date];

inside viewDidLoad. The second statement creates a local variable called startTime, which hides the global variable. Use
    startTime=[[NSDate date] retain];

instead.
That said, I'd suggest you not to create the global variable. Instead, make it an instance variable and a property:
@interface TimeViewController :NSObject{
      ....
      NSDate*startDate;
}
...
@end

and as Kubi said, don't forget
-(void)dealloc{
     [startDate release];
     [super dealloc];
}

I'd also suggest not to use id to hold a known object. Who told you that? That's a very bad practice. Even when you declare a global variable, you should use
  NSDate*startDate;

so that the compiler can warn you against non-defined methods.

Imagine that you read book reviews one day. You choose what books to buy for a library based on the book reviews the next day. You make videos and mentor a student teacher the next week. You lead peer leaders, manage textbooks, manage a budget, and fundraise that month. Only the unique position of media specialist at Hull Middle School requires expertise in such a wide range of tasks. Meet Carol Bates, the media specialist and librarian whose job title doesn't always define everything she does.
When she was younger, "librarian" or "media specialist" wasn't an enticing career to her because back then, their only task was to punch cards. However, she waited tables for a dozen years only to realize that there were no long-term benefits or any kind of retirement plan, and with a child to care for, being a waitress was simply lacking a future. Thus, she went back to school, got a degree in Spanish, and became a media specialist partly because that was her younger sister's occupation. As she is describing her current life teaching and managing the library, I can tell that she is genuinely passionate about her work and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. What makes Bates' role unique is having a different job everyday-she never gets bored! She loves working with middle schoolers because they're a perfect fit for her self-professed "snarky" comments. She is also amazed to see the youthful sixth graders develop into confident, mature eighth graders, prepared to enter high school.

Effect of KCl and KNO 3 on partial molal volumes and partial molal compressibilities of some amino acids at different temperatures
Riyazuddeen*, Imran Khan
Density (ρ) and ultrasonic velocity (u) values of amino acids l-alanine, l-proline, l-valine, and l-leucine in 2M aqueous KCl and 2M aqueous KNO 3 solutions have been measured as a function of amino acid concentration at different temperatures (298.15 K, 303.15 K, 308.15 K, 313.15 K, 318.15 K, and 323.15 K). Using the ρ and u data, partial molal volume ( φv) and partial molal isentropic compressibility ( φ) values have been computed. The increase in partial molal volume with temperature has been attributed to the volume expansion of hydrated zwitterions. The φ and φ values of l-alanine, l-proline, l-valine, and l-leucine in 2M aqueous KCl and KNO 3 solutions have been found to be larger than the corresponding values in water. The larger partial molal volumes of l-alanine, l-proline, l-valine, and l-leucine in 2M aqueous KCl and KNO 3 solutions have been ascribed to the formation of 'zwitterion-K +/Cl -/NO 3 - ' and 'K +/Cl -/NO 3 - -water dipole' aggregates in solutions. The formation of these entities in solutions causes the release of water associated with zwitterions to the bulk water. The larger partial molal compressibilities of l-alanine-/l-proline-/l-valine-/l-leucine-2M aqueous KCl/KNO 3 solutions than the corresponding values in water have been attributed to the formation of 'zwitterion-ion' and 'ion-water dipole' incompressible entities in solutions.

Forgive us for sounding a little harsh, but nature requires the participation of both predator and prey in order to keep complete the circle of life.
The Great Horned Owl is trying to decide what to have for lunch. He's keeping an eye on an unsuspecting squirrel, a cheeky chipmunk, and a cautious rabbit.
All four of these familiar animals are featured in the Woodland Creatures Personal Checks from CheckAdvantage.
The owl may have unbelievable eyesight, but the squirrel can quickly climb a tree, the chipmunk can dart underground, and the rabbit is lucky to have incredible speed.
Just like the animals, we're all given gifts and talents that make us who we are.
Bring the outdoors into your pocketbook with this special collection available only at CheckAdvantage.

The Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award is one of the highlights of the calendar for those of us who love beautiful photographs of nature, and this year's shortlist for the LUMIX People's Choice Award shows exactly why.
There are 25 pictures on the shortlist for the award chosen by members of the public, our favourites of which are down below.
You can see the entire shortlist and vote for your favourite at the LUMIX People's Choice Award website – voting is open until 14.00pm on Monday 5 February, 2019.
The competition has been running for over half a century – this is its 54th year. The exhibition is open at the Natural History Museum until 30 June.
On a hot morning at the Chitake Springs, in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, Federico watched as an old lioness descended from the top of the riverbank. She'd been lying in wait to ambush any passing animals visiting a nearby waterhole further along the riverbed.
When the sun beams through a hole in the rock at the foot of the La Foradada waterfall, Catalonia, Spain, it creates a beautiful pool of light. The rays appear to paint the spray of the waterfall and create a truly magical picture.
Wim came across these king penguins on a beach in the Falkland Islands just as the sun was rising. They were caught up in a fascinating mating behaviour – the two males were constantly moving around the female using their flippers to fend the other off.
Unafraid of the snowy blizzard, this squirrel came to visit Audren as he was taking photographs of birds in the small Jura village of Les Fourgs, France. Impressed by the squirrel's endurance, he made it the subject of the shoot.
Franco was free diving off Dominica in the Caribbean Sea when he witnessed this young male sperm whale trying to copulate with a female. Unfortunately for him her calf was always in the way and the frisky male had to continually chase off the troublesome calf.
Matthew has been photographing foxes close to his home in north London for over a year and ever since spotting this street art had dreamt of capturing this image. After countless hours and many failed attempts his persistence paid off.
A great grey owl and her chicks sit in their nest in the broken top of a Douglas fir tree in Kamloops, Canada. They looked towards Connor only twice as he watched them during the nesting season from a tree hide 50 feet (15 metres) up.
A male orca had beached itself about a week before Phil's visit to Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands. Despite its huge size the shifting sands had almost covered the whole carcass and scavengers, such as this striated caracara, had started to move in.
A school of Munk's devil ray were feeding on plankton at night off the coast of Isla Espíritu Santo in Baja California, Mexico. Franco used the underwater lights from his boat and a long exposure to create this otherworldly image.


Forward Hector Chur (179-F) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Club Force and receives a Interperformances Liga Metropolitana Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds, while his team beat URL (#8, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 60-47. Club Force maintains the 5th position in Guatemalan Liga Metropolitana. Club Force is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-1 record. In the team's last game Chur had a remarkable six three-pointers out of 10 attempts. He turned to be Club Force's top player in his first season with the team. Chur has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 19.5ppg).
Second best performed player last round was Luis Menendez (179-G-95) of URL. He is a guard in his first season at URL. In the last game Menendez recorded impressive 18 points and 6 rebounds. Bad luck as URL lost that game 47-60 to Club Force (1-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Menendez is a newcomer at URL and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.0ppg (#8). He also registered 6.0 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to swingman Rodrigo Vallejo (G/F-88) of Laminas C. (#3). Vallejo scored 16 points. He was a key player of Laminas C., leading his team to a 73-63 win against Villa Nueva (1-1). Laminas C. needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 1 victories and 1 lost games. Vallejo has a great season in Guatemala. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.0ppg (9th best).

Q: HTML + JQUERY - Input type file added dynamically not work attribute capture = 'camera' on mobile I have the next div:
<div id="divLlenarImgs">
  <input type="file" class="img" name="img[]" accept="image/*" capture="camera"/>
</div>

When I run my web site in a mobile (android or iphone) and click on that input, the camera is shown by the attribute capture.
But when I add more inputs type file dynamically their attribute capture stops to work. The first input always, but the next added inputs don't.
Is there any reason for this to happen?
I add the next inputs exactly like the first one. And I have tried many different browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Android default browser.
EDIT:
Only work ALL inputs using Chrome for Android.

Group Gathers Signatures to Block Cemex Mine
by Tim Whyte, SCVNews.com
The nonprofit Safe Action for the Environment Inc. has launched an online petition and letter-writing drive seeking support for Senate Bill S. 759, authored by Sen. Barbara Boxer to stop the development of a massive sand and gravel mine in Soledad Canyon.
KHTS News Brought To You By:
Boxer, D-Calif., has introduced the legislation to resolve a 12-year dispute over the proposed 56-million-ton CEMEX mine just outside the City of Santa Clarita.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox!
"We're so grateful to Sen. Boxer for carrying this legislation to help protect the communities that would be adversely impacted by this mine," said SAFE President Andrew Fried. "This proposed mine would cause unacceptable impacts to the environment, would worsen local air quality, and would severely diminish the quality of life for everyone who lives in the region."
CEMEX and the City of Santa Clarita reached a truce in their dispute in 2007, agreeing to seek a mutually agreeable resolution. Boxer's S. 759 would provide just such a resolution, by canceling the CEMEX mining contracts for the Soledad Canyon site and compensating CEMEX through the sale of federal lands near Victorville — properties that are currently on the Bureau of Land Management's "Disposal List."
"Sen. Boxer's bill accomplishes the goal of that truce, and time is of the essence — we need to urge its passage," Fried said. "It's a win-win-win for CEMEX, the City of Santa Clarita, the residents who live near the mine and everyone who travels through the area who will no longer face the threat of 1,164 new gravel truck trips every day."
To sign the petition or write a letter of support, residents can visit www.safe4environment.org and click on the "Sign Our Petition" and "Write to Support S. 759" buttons.
You can also sign the petition by going directly to the Care2 petition site, www.care2.com, and type "S759" in the search window.
Upon completion, SAFE's petition will be shared with Boxer, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, and the members of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
"Our goal is 5,000 signatures, and we're over halfway there," Fried said. "Many local residents have signed the petition, and we sincerely appreciate their support for this important legislation. We're asking everyone in northern Los Angeles County to express their support, too, and help show Congress how vital S. 759 is to our region."
Additional information about SAFE and its support of S. 759 is available at www.safe4environment.org.

See more of T-ara Jiyeon's concept photos for '1 Min 1 Sec'!
T-ara's Jiyeon is back to tease fans for her upcoming solo single release on May 20!
'1MIN 1SEC' – Medium-tempo song with the rain sounds and lyrical melody and lyrics. With lyrics that express her feelings that she can never give up on towards her beloved man, she's come to express her desperate feelings of not being able to live without him even if for 1min 1sec, as the song is titled.
'Yeuido Cherry Blossom' – A warm and bright song that suits for a spring with a warm weather. With cute lyrics and a melody that's relaxing to listen to, you may look forward to the vocals that are different from the mood of the title track.
'Puppet' – It might have tempo to it but it's also chic with sad lyrics and a minor melody.
The song and music video will be released on April, and while waiting for that, you can check out Jiyeon's teaser photos below.
JiYeon's tattoo says, 'My Parents are my heart and soul'.
Meanwhile, you can now also watch the video teasers for Jiyeon's single titled '1 Min 1 Sec' here.

All-new Mercedes-Benz GLS: The S-Class of SUVs now in Nigeria
Global Patriot Staff July 11, 2020	Local, News, Style & Fashion, World Leave a comment 66 Views
The all-new Mercedes-Benz GLS is Mercedes-Benz's largest and most luxurious SUV. It offers more of everything: more space, more comfort and indeed more luxury. Since it was first introduced in 2006 as the GL, the Mercedes-Benz GLS has dominated markets for large sized luxury SUVs all over the world. This new generation of the GLS pushes the bar even higher, living to its title as the S-Class of SUVs. The all-new GLS makes its debut in showrooms in Nigeria, courtesy of Weststar Associates Limited, Authorized General Distributor of Mercedes-Benz in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The all-new GLS stands out with highlights like EQ Boost, an all-new 4MATIC that ensures great agility on the road and strong performance off the beaten track, and key comfort features like; the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), electrically adjustable seats throughout as standard and a generous amount of space especially in the second row.
The exterior of the all-new GLS is luxurious and larger than life. It comes with a more superior presence in comparison to its predecessor, thanks to a larger wheelbase at 3135 mm. The impressive proportions and the long bonnet also underscore the power and presence of the new GLS. The nearly upright radiator grille, the prominent chromed skid plate, and the bonnet with two power domes are key features of the unique exterior design. MULTIBEAM LED headlamps come as standard with a total of 112 LEDs per headlamp in the new GLS. The new GLS also comes with up to 23-inch wheels as well as a refined selection of rim designs. The optional panoramic sliding sunroof gives a fascinating sense of freedom as it bathes the interior in a pleasantly bright ambience.
Inside the all-new GLS elegant aesthetics are highlighted with leather appointments as standard. The instrument cluster and media display (2 x 12.3-inch as standard), are housed behind a shared continuous glass surface to form a large free-standing screen. There is a touchpad in the center console as a further means of controlling many vehicle functions. The ambient lighting impressively illuminates the dashboard, with optical fibers coursing throughout the cockpit. The four rectangular air vents are prominently embedded in the trim element. As a typical feature of off-roaders, there are two prominent grab handles on the center console trimmed with ARTICO man-made leather. There is also a new sport steering wheel with a striking, sculptured spoke design.
The longer wheelbase of the new GLS means there's more space, especially in the second seat row, which can furthermore be electrically adjusted front and back by 10 cm. There is more leg room in both the second and third seat rows. The EASY-ENTRY function, makes it easy to get into and out of the two individual seats in the third row. The third row has fully fledged seats that are suitable for people up to 1.94 m tall. All rear seats can be folded separately or at the same time with the single touch of a button to create a level loading area in the boot of the GLS with a capacity of up to 2400 liters.
Another key highlight in the all-new GLS is the latest generation of the MBUX infotainment system. Some of the upgrades in the new MBUX system include the MBUX Interior Assistant: intuitive support, Augmented reality: additional navigation assistance, and a further advanced "Hey Mercedes" voice control system.
The high standards of the new Mercedes-Benz GLS are evident in its engine line up. The base line GLS 450 features a new electrified in-line six-cylinder petrol engine with 48-volt on-board electrical system and integrated starter-generator. This engine has a displacement of about four liters and produces an output of 270 kW (367 hp) and 500 Nm of torque, with another 250 Nm of torque and 16 kW/22 hp of additional output temporarily on tap via EQ Boost. In all variants of the new GLS, power is transmitted by the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. The broad ratio spread of gears one to nine allows a clearly perceptible reduction in engine speed and is a decisive factor behind the high level of energy efficiency and ride comfort.
All versions of the new GLS are for the first time equipped with fully variable all-wheel drive (torque on demand, TonD), which regulates the torque split between the front and rear axle from 0-100 % depending on the selected drive mode. With the optional Off-Road Engineering Package, a likewise fully variable all-wheel-drive system with low and high range is available. This makes the GLS more off-road capable than ever.
Speaking on the all-new GLS, Mr. Mirko Plath, CEO, Weststar Associates Limited commented; "The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a superstar in the SUV segment, and we are proud to unveil the 2020 edition to our customers here in Nigeria. With highlights like EQ Boost, the updated 4MATIC all-wheel drive and Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). We are certainly in for a treat!"

"There are many different expressions of cooperation and mutual aid in Philadelphia, among very diverse groups of people," explains Caitlin Quigley of the Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance (PACA). Now, thanks to a $146,000 award from the national Knight Cities Challenge (check out our peek at the four Philly winners here), the organization hopes to expand interest in co-ops citywide.
PACA's Knight-funded 20 Book Clubs, 20 Cooperative Businesses initiative aims to gather learning groups of six to 12 people from a variety of Philly neighborhoods. The organization will help guide the book clubs through a tailored process to master the building blocks of building a cooperatively-run business of any type, based on the community's interests and needs.
So what exactly is a "co-op"?
The latter includes things like representation at events, education and outreach, and making donations.
"You and your fellow co-owners can decide how you want that business to serve you," she adds.
And while grocery stores might be the most prominent local example, PACA is a consortium of all kinds of co-ops across many industries. These range from banks to housing to community gardens, green space, or land trusts, or child-care or artist co-ops.
The 20 Book Clubs, 20 Cooperative Businesses project, operating on a year-long grant cycle from April 2016 to April 2017, will continue outreach this summer, with the goal of organizing project participants by September. Each group will meet twice a month for six months, with guidance from PACA staffers and volunteers, and a comprehensive curriculum of suggested learning materials, from books and comics to field trips and podcasts.
Author Dr. Jessica Gordon Nembhard, whose book Collective Courage is a major inspiration for the project, is collaborating with PACA on the study guide.
In March of next year, participating groups will convene at a large event that will include cooperative business pitches. Beyond that, PACA hopes to support interested groups in more intensive business planning, such as drafting articles of incorporation and writing bylaws.
"Not all of the groups that do the book clubs are going to necessarily decide to move onto this phase," says Quigley, but that's ok. "Even if it doesn't happen right now…They have a new set of tools and perspectives that they can bring to anything they do in their communities from then on." Ultimately, it's about building "a strong movement around a just and inclusive economy, with all of these different sectors of cooperatives and their members."

Ideology and the Virtual City:
Videogames, Power Fantasies and Neoliberalism
27th September 2019 Jon Bailes
How do virtual cities reflect our modern social realities?
Ideology and the Virtual City: Videogames, Power Fantasies and Neoliberalism by Jon Bailes.
Publication date: 27th September 2019 (UK), 1st October 2019 (US). Published by Zero Books.
Available from: JohnHuntPublishing.com; Amazon.com; Amazon.co.uk
ISBN: 978-1-78904-164-4 (Paperback) £9.99 $14.95
EISBN: 978-1-78904-165-1 (e-book) £7.99 $11.96
Ideology and the Virtual City is an exploration of modern society and the critical value of popular culture. It combines a prescient social theory that describes how 'neoliberal' ideology in today's societies dominates our economic, political and cultural ideals, with an entertaining exploration of narratives, characters and play structures in some of today's most interesting videogames. Through this analysis, the book takes readers into a range of simulated urban environments that symbolise the hidden antagonisms of social life and create outlandish resolutions through their power fantasies. In doing so, it shows how interactive entertainment can help us better understand the different ways people relate to the modern 'common sense' neoliberal background, both in terms of absorbing its assumptions, and questioning them.
"Videogames are gradually recognized as a new cultural form which reaches far beyond mere entertainment: they enact new forms of subjectivity and temporality. However, this fascination with the new form should not render us blind for the fact that, in their content, even at its most magic, videogames are firmly rooted in our neoliberal capitalism and faithfully mirror its antinomies. This is where Bailes's book enters. Through a detailed analysis of selected games, from Grand Theft Auto to Persona, he demonstrates how they reproduce the key dimensions of a modern megalopolis: the City as Playground, as Battleground, as Wasteland, as Prison… Ideology and the Virtual City is not only insanely readable; in its combination of vivid descriptions with theoretical stringency, it provides an unsurpassable introduction into the deadlocks of our real life. In short, an instant classic for everyone who wants to understand not just games but our reality itself." — Slavoj Žižek READ MORE
Barbara Foley
21st Century Marxist Literary Criticism
12th June 2019 Jon Bailes
In 21st century capitalism, Marxist theory remains a crucial means to interpret the socioeconomic present and potentials for political change. But Marxism as a method is also important culturally, in understanding the ideas, attitudes and beliefs that exist today, and how they have developed historically through various social forces. In her recent book, Marxist Literary Criticism Today (Pluto, 2019), Barbara Foley aims to emphasise the continuing value of a Marxist analysis of literature and culture, and introduce core concepts – historical materialism, political economy, ideology critique – to a new generation seeking to comprehend the ongoing class struggle. In this interview, I discuss with her some of the ideas she raises in the book.
Barbara Foley is Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University-Newark. Her research and teaching focuses on US literary radicalism, African American literature and Marxist criticism. Throughout her career, her work has emphasised the centrality of antiracism and Marxist class analysis to both literary study and social movements. She has written six books and over seventy scholarly articles, review essays, and book chapters. Her previous books include: Spectres of 1919: Class and Nation in the Making of the New Negro (University of Illinois, 2003); Wrestling with the Left: The Making of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (Duke University, 2010); Jean Toomer: Race, Repression, and Revolution (University of Illinois, 2014).
Why did you feel a new book about Marxist literary criticism, and specifically an introductory text, was important at this time?
Barbara Foley: For two reasons. First, because there haven't been any introductions to Marxist literary criticism in many years – since Terry Eagleton's Marxism and Literary Criticism (1976 ) and Raymond Williams's Marxism and Literature (1977). (I consider Fredric Jameson's The Political Unconscious: Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act (1981) to be seminal; but it is a difficult book, hardly an 'introduction'.) Second, because there's clearly a revived interest these days – especially among young people – in left ideas, as these pertain not only to culture but also to economics, politics, and history.
Since even the very useful works noted above largely take for granted the reader's prior acquaintance with fundamental principles of Marxist analysis, though, I decided that my book should outline key features of historical materialism, political economy, and ideology critique before addressing Marxist approaches to literary criticism and interpretation. Besides, since there's a good deal of confusion these days about what constitutes a 'left' political position – or a 'left' act of cultural analysis – I wanted to clarify where Marxism overlaps with but is also distinct from a more broadly leftist critical orientation.

Class Struggle Today
30th October 2018 Cihan Aksan and Jon Bailes
What does class struggle mean today?
With responses from: Dario Azzellini; Cinzia Arruzza; Jeffery R Webber; Adam Hanieh; Shahrzad Mojab; Guilherme Leite Gonçalves; Immanuel Ness; Demet Şahende Dinler; Cenk Saraçoğlu; Justin Akers Chacón; María Pía Lara; Terrell Carver; Charles Umney; Raju J Das.
Dario Azzellini
Class struggle, that is, the struggle between labour and capital, is not at all a concept that belongs to the past. In a world of growing inequality, it is a reality more pertinent than ever. A recent study has revealed that since 2008 the wealth of the richest 1% has been growing at an average of 6% a year, while the wealth of the remaining 99% of the world's population has been growing by only 3%. By 2030, the world's richest 1% will control nearly two-thirds of the world's wealth.
With the victory of neoliberalism, governments have stopped acting as mediators between capital and labour with the aim of mitigating inequality. Hence, in the Northern hemisphere, unions that are still based on the idea of social partnership are often unable to wage offensive struggles. At best, they fight to maintain the status quo and, even then, more often than not, they are unsuccessful.
This does not mean that offensive struggles are not possible anymore; on the contrary, they are possible and necessary. Some unions, mostly pushed by the rank and file, have come to realise this fact and to radicalise their struggles. Some newer or smaller unions, along with self-organised workers around the world, have waged successful offensive struggles. Moreover, in many countries of the global South, where class compromise has never been an option advanced by capital, unions have always been more militant.
If workers are to become empowered and fight capitalist exploitation, it is fundamental that they avoid the trap of division along national, gender or ethnic lines. Class struggle cannot be successful unless it is transnational and antiracist. To fight transnational and global capital, workers have to coordinate across borders, as they have recently done in strikes at Amazon and Ryanair.
And considering that production and reproduction are two sides of the same medal, women's struggle cannot be separated from class struggle. Working class women all over the world are proving this fact: from the female fast food workers at McDonalds in the US, who last September went on strike against sexual harassment in ten cities, to the five million women that went on strike in Spain on March 8, 2018, International Women's Day, to denounce gender inequality, the wage gap, sexual discrimination and domestic violence.
Last but not least, company takeovers by workers who run their workplaces under self-management also demonstrate how class struggle can point beyond the wage relationship, towards the construction of a new world based on different values. The class strikes back. This is just the beginning. READ MORE
Asad Haider
Identity Politics and Mass Self-Organisation
3rd July 2018 Jon Bailes
The concept of 'identity politics' is central to a great deal of mainstream political discussion, both on the left and right. On one side, it is a form of politics that asserts the rights of marginalised groups against entrenched cultural (white male) privilege. On the other, it is an elitist drive to curtail free speech and undermine traditional values. But how does it relate to a more radical left-wing project? Has identity politics become a politics of the establishment? What kind of role must it perform in a mass movement for radical social change? In his new book, Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump, Asad Haider considers the history and modern form of identity politics, and what it means for the development of collaborative social movements. In the following interview I discuss some of the important points he raises.
Asad Haider is a founding editor of Viewpoint Magazine, and author of Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump (Verso, 2018)
How was the emergence of identity politics in the 1970s important as a critique of the socialist politics of the time? Does modern identity politics continue to perform the same function?
Asad Haider: I advocate being very specific about terminology, so I associate the emergence of the term identity politics with the Combahee River Collective's statement in 1977, which posed an essential challenge to the class reductionism of past socialist movements – that is, the assumption of these movements that economic exploitation was experienced in a unitary way, that other forms of domination were peripheral, and that struggles against other forms of oppression were subordinate to class politics. It was also a challenge to the black liberation movement and the feminist movement, because the specific position of black women was not taken into account. 'Identity politics' in this case meant producing a more radical struggle against all forms of oppression.
In my book, I jump from the introduction of that term to its usage during the 2016 primaries in the US, during which it was used to defend the Democratic Party elites and their agenda against challenges internal to the party, but which were riding the wave of previous social movements. 'Identity politics' in this context was seen in opposition to socialism, which was represented as necessarily exclusionary. This was not an attempt to enrich socialism and realise an emancipatory potential that had been suppressed by exclusion; it was a weaponised deployment of identity to prevent a shift to the left.
The point is that, like any word, the meaning of 'identity politics' is highly contested, and that its usage today is frequently diametrically opposed to its original usage. I am sympathetic to those who want to reclaim its original usage, but it seems to me that this will be very difficult, because the whole apparatus of the media and the liberal intelligentsia have appropriated the term, and have reshaped its meaning in such a way that it carries new effects; it will never simply return to its 'pure,' original usage, but will now also carry with it the resistance to coalitions, the opposition to socialism, the reduction of politics to a demand for recognition by the state. My intention in the book is to recognise the valuable and necessary contribution of the founders of the term, while criticising its contemporary appropriation and beginning to look for other languages that can carry on that emancipatory project.

Marx at 200
7th May 2018 Cihan Aksan and Jon Bailes
This month, to mark the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth on 5th May, we ask:
How has Marx influenced your thinking?
Responses from: Ursula Huws; Sven-Eric Liedman; Terrell Carver; Jayati Ghosh; Wolfgang Streeck; Frigga Haug; Lucia Pradella; Neil Faulkner; Lars T Lih; Esther Leslie; Guilherme Leite Gonçalves; Michael Roberts.
Ursula Huws
Marx helped me understand how capitalism works. There are many developments he did not predict, but he bequeathed us tools to unpick the business models and explain the processes by which capitalism continues to expand and develop, and the creative-destructive way it lurches from crisis to crisis, transforming labour and everyday life along the way. As he put it in the Communist Manifesto, 'Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones'.
Using his concepts, we can see how the continuous need for expansion drives a voracious appetite to seek out new sites of accumulation and how this sucks more and more aspects of human activity within the scope of the market, opening up new opportunities for making money out of them. To quote again from his Communist Manifesto, 'The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connexions everywhere'.
For me, the concept of 'commodification' is key to understanding these dynamics. In Marx's day, industrialists took activities that were previously based in the household, such as weaving, sewing, making cleaning materials and preparing food, and, turned them into standard commodities, forming the basis for huge new industries. New machines played a key role in this. In our own times, new commodities are being generated from art and culture and the exploitation of the natural world, as well as many other aspects of daily life and sociality. We are turned into customers, even for such basic aspects of subsistence as health, clean water and the ability to communicate. This locks us into an ever-greater dependence on the market. To change this situation we will have to find a collective way to say 'No'! READ MORE
